His stats showed briefly before promptly disappearing.
'I can't believe this' Blake internally sighed as he began to prepare to head to the academy.
'What is the Desolate Ground anyway?' Blake thought
"I guess I would find out" Blake said as he stored his newly purchased healing pills in his watch.
____________
"Yo! did you hear that? we're traveling today!"
As student screamed as he ran up to his friend grabbing his shoulders and shaking him rapidly.
"Yes I heard it Evan but shouldn't you be worried?"
"Huh why?"
The boy addressed as Evan said with a puzzled look.
"You didn't even read the messages before coming here did you?"
The boy said as he facepalmed.
'How do you have a mind ability and be so dumb?'. He pondered while looking at his friend who seemed to have zoned out.
"We are going there to gain experience,like actual experience Evan not the one we usually do in the virtual zone. There would be nothing like respawns Evan, how are you going to survive if you didn't even read the first few lines".
"Its not my fault man, come on" Evan said as he smiled.
These two where the closest of friends despite being complete opposites. Many wondered how it came to be in the first place.
____. _____. _____
Similarly,close friends began gathering and talking about the trip they would be going for, few minutes from now.
However,amidst all the chatter, a trio of boys stood at the far back totally unconcerned about the blabbering that was going on around them. The funny thing though, was the fact that no one ever bothered them. It was like everyone avoided them despite the anxiousness existing all around.
It was in this present atmosphere, that Blake strolled into the academy. With a puzzled look, Blake continued moving down the hall moving quickly to avoid unnecessary confrontation. It was then he heard a 'ding' sound. Simultaneously, multiple Ding sounds began going off one by one.
One 'ding' sound Blake could have confused it for the system. But with over a hundred going off at once? It had to be one thing that could have taken effect. The watch.
Quickly glancing over, Blake could see his own watch glowing blue. Funny how everyone had excited looks on their faces despite knowing they would be going into life or death battles any minute from now.
Resounding gasps echoed as the hall fell into momentary silence.
'What is going on?' Blake thought.
[Students please gather at the hallway in the next five minutes. Pairing begins by then]
[Time Remains:4:57]
'So, this was a waste of time, no? Blake thought as he walked to a nearby wall and laid his back and crossing arms. Again, another 'Ding' sound was heard and once more the previous setting occurred just that this time, the shouts were louder than before.
"What the heck, that's literally rigged"
Blake didn't understand what this guy was saying giving he hasn't read the new notification yet. Looking at his watch he could see the words clear as day.
[Scanning Complete]
[Name:Blake Turner]
[Rank: F]
Too stunned to speak, Blake just stared at the notification in shock. Just what was this, how? just how?. He wasn't stunned by the fact that he was F-Rank, just the fact that it was now visible for all to see glowing a fierce red.
Background mumbles gradually turned into shouts as students began shouting. Again looking at the watch once more, Blake finally understood why the previous said this little 'experience trip' of theirs was rigged.
[Pairs will be based on displayed Rank Above]
It was like a bombshell, as Blake stood with his mouth wide open right in the middle of the hallway. It seemed like he was beyond stunned to speak and was the most shocked out of everyone hear.
Gradually, the shouts started to die down as students finished ranting and decided to accept it for now deciding to wait till they got back from this little trip of theirs to see what the would do to the academy with the help of their parents of course.
With the noises dying down, everyone began once again, paying attention to their surrounding. It was then they spotted Blake, whose mouth was still wide open.
"Look at this trash why is he still standing like that"
Someone pointed out. And soon,heads began turning in Blake's direction as everyone stared at him, then their eyes moved to his watch which was glowing. It was literally the odd thing out about him.
"Wha...what the hell!"
Someone screamed and soon once again, the hall fell into total chaos.
"F..F Rank"
"But how!!"
Someone shouted.
Coming out from his little world, Blake turned to the person who screamed at the first person who screamed,.then to the whole hall which was in chaos because of him. Somehow, there was this feeling of pride he had seeing as he turned the hall upside down.
"Shut up! All of you!" A booming voice resounded throughout the hall. Instantly reaching everyone's ears. And as if someone cast a spell, the hall fell into silence immediately.
Why?
One of the terrible threesome had spoken.
How could they, lowly beings go against their order.
Walking toward, everyone cleared paths as Bruce matched his way up to Blake.
Blake just stared at him, now he had become an F Rank, he could vaguely sense Bruce's aura. And in only one word, powerful! that was all he could think of.
Quickly, the system brought out Bruce's status.
[Stats]
[Name: Bruce Kimberly]
[HP:350/350]
[Ability: Lightning]
_________
Blake instantly took a step back seeing Bruce's ability.
"Ho ho ho what do we have here fellas?" a mocking tone was heard as Bruce pointed at Blake.
"It seems our little friend managed to break through somehow"
Bruce said as he brushed his hand through his dark hair and instantly everyone eyes were directed to his watch which was glowing with a bright green.
[Name: Bruce Kimberly]
[Rank:Mid E-Rank]
________________
"I ain't scared of you" Blake said as he summoned courage and took a step forward. His eyes burning for revenge.
*gasp*
Everyone gasped in shock as they heard Blake's statement. Blake literally told.thag to one of the kids of the school.
"He's dead"
"RIP Blake"
Such were similar statements from his fellow Classmates. But Blake wasn't concerned about that. He was more concerned with the fact that Bruce, who had been the victim of his taunt was sheepishly smiling. Not looking the slightest bit angry. And that....
...scared Blake to his very core.
He tried all he could, but he could not suppress that pride. He just has to speak up as he couldn't stand the mocking gaze and mocking tone of Bruce.
"So what if you are an F Rank that just means you would last longer when I beat you".
"Something about that statement dosent sound right". Someone quickly whispered to the closet person next to him.
However, all eyes turned towards him.
'Although true, but now's not the time'. Most thought as they restrained their urge to laugh and snicker.
Ignoring their petty conversation, Bruce continued.
"You just newly broke through you aren't actually strong".
Following Bruce's word, everyone began thinking.
'That....that was true!'
'He mostly likely didn't know. That was why he had that shocked look from earlier'.
It was all starting to make sense.
But that begged the question.
Why the commotion. As soon as everyone discovered he was an F Rank, everyone began screaming and shouting.
Thinking about it, some chose to conclude and console themselves,based on the fact that, they didn't actually think he was strong. It was just that the shock was too much.
Not to talk of the fact that he may end up taking revenge and once again rising to suppress them.
Thinking of this made them shudder as this time it would be much worse. If normal Blake was a nightmare, how about a Blake with superhuman abilities?.
And with their evolved bodies and endurance,they would be able to take quite a beating than normal.
"Says who?"
Blake said with his chest puffed out and head held high.
He could not accept the fact that someone called him weak. Especially after he somehow survived his punishment. He literally escaped E Rank beasts and somehow avoided the maws of a D Rank. Although the latter was due to the system, he couldn't think of any person that could do that giving the same rank.
Suddenly, the smile on Bruce's face vanished. And a cold aura spread forth. The target?
Blake.
"It seems not giving you a beating has dulled your senses to the extent that you have forgotten how powerful I am".
Bruce said as sparks of lightning could be seen gathering on his hands.
