Chapter 13 - Chapter No.13:- Jealousy Can Be The Cause Of Fortune

After returning, everyone started to work hard.
Adam also joined hand-to-hand combat and whip training.
Only in training did he feel that he was not talented in hand-to-hand combat or whipping.
but he still trained hard like everyone else with a determined mindset.
As he continued, he understood what his master, the Heavenly Demon, said about his talent to copy others.
as he could easily copy his instructor's combat technique, but it backfired as the result that the technique put out was far weaker than his normal strength because he did execute it properly.
As the days passed, Adam understood the gap between him and the other students.
Other students who knew what they were good at worked harder to improve it, but Adam did not, as he was not good at hand-to-hand or whipping.
The monster's talent of his had become the greatest curse that shackled him form greatness.
#ONE DAY
Adam sat down on the floor after training,wiping his sweat from his face.

======================================
Seeing his status put a smile on his face.
Even if the training did not give him any improvement in combat, it did improve his stats.
"What should I do to improve?" Adam said as he looked at the ceiling.
and also there was his weapon the 10 rings
==============================

3.Sealed
Sealed
==============================
"why did they give me a sealed weapon"
thinking about his weapon makes his brain hurt.
but suddenly there was a lot of noise.
rumble....rumble..
seeing the other students run in one direction.
Adam followed them only to reach the place where sword training classes were happening.
Adam saw a big crowd covering the whole training area.
He squeezed in the crowd, and as he reached in front, he saw the instructor fighting, not in the way where the instructor stood at one point and overpowered every student, but here he was pushed back not with tricks but with a proper fight where both sides exchanged blows one after another.
but the blow from the instructor's side slowly started to lose, and I was forced to block or dodge.
Adam looked at the swords clashing against each other.
Suddenly, both swords hit each other, resulting in a stalemate.
Adam looked at the tip of the instructor's sword to see an oddly familiar violet sword clashing against it.
He traced the sword to its wielder.
"WHAT THE! "
15 minutes ago.
"Let's stop for now," the instructor said as he looked at the students of the swordsmanship training.
Hearing it, everyone sat down, breathing heavily after the long training.
(Is that student a monster? How is she still standing?)
The instructor thought as he looked at the particular student, who looked like this training did not affect him at the very least.
(Even after defeating every other student, he still has the stamina to stand.) The instructor thought with amazement as he looked at the talented swordsman, who could possibly be the strongest of the future generation of heroes.
(Even if I am proud of having a student like him, I cannot let his victories get to his head; I need to show him that the world is a lot more dangerous.)
The instructor thought as he moved towards the student.
"Student, asked, and would you like to spar with me?"He asked everyone to looked at the student in question.
"Yes," the student replied without any hesitation.
Hearing it, the instructor was surprised, but he did not show it outside.
"Then let's start, and as an instructor, I will give you a handicap; I will not use my left hand," the instructor said.
As the fight started, the student rushed in with his sword.
The instructor was caught off guard by seeing a student rush in without any plan against an instructor.
CLANK!....
the moment the swords hit each other.
What kind of strength does this kid have?
The instructor instantly regretted giving that student a handicap.
PRESENT.
"Who is that student?"
"He is fighting the instructor like crazy."
"Wait, that's Vikram."
"WHO!!"
"The No.1"
"Wait that Vikram."
Hearing this, every student was shocked and amazed at the same time, not for a student-fighting instructor.
but Vikram's fighting style, which looked like a mix of rapier and katana sword styles,
fast and precise thrusting like that of a rapier and fast and deadly slashes of a katana.
But unbeknownst to anyone present, there was something that only the instructor who was fighting Vikram knew.
The raw strength behind his slashes and thrusts rivals that of someone who uses a giant sword or blunt weapons.
(What kind of monster is he? Every attack is stronger than the previous attack.)
His thoughts were interrupted by Vikram as he slashed downward with full force, nearly forcing the instructor to use his left hand.
As the attack hit, the instructor was forced to his knees, but he still held on.
"like he is growing stronger while fighting."
When he realised it, he looked at Vikram with fear.
as if a beast was fighting with him that was growing stronger and stronger as each minute passed.
"It's time to stop."
Feeling the crowd increasing, the instructor knew that he couldn't continue sparring anymore.
The instructor released a small amount of his mana.
The instructor disappeared and reappeared in front of Vikram in an instant.
Seeing the instructor disappear and reappear startled Vikram, but he still held the sword high up to block the instructor's attack.
Vikram sighs a breath of relief seeing the instructor's sword being blocked by his sword.
But suddenly the instructor's sword that was going to be hit by the vikram sword disappeared.
"SHOCK..."
But the shock did not last long, as Vikram felt stinging pain around his waist.
The instructor's sword that disappeared reappeared below Vikram's waist and hit him sideways.
with that spar, with the instructor winning.
The instructor dispersed the crowd and took Vikram to the nurse's office.
"Did you see that kid? He fought with the instructor equally."
"What? "Equally, the instructor just gave him a handicap, and do you even know who instructor Koukai is?"
"Koukai? is that instructor's name.
"Yes, instructor Koukai, A.K.A. undefine, is one of the best A-Rank heroes out there."
"Best A-Rank hero? I don't believe that he doesn't look the part of the best hero, and if he is someone that good, he should already be an S-Rank, not rotting in an A-Rank."
"That's true, but I heard the reason why he is not in the S-rank is because he reached his growth limit."
"Oo, he might be having a hard time."
"But I heard that he can still beat villains in Rank-S without any help because of his sword style."
"Sword style?"
"Do you know why his name is undefined?"
"No"
"They say that he could attack from any direction."
Other students were talking about how great Instructor Koukai is.
But there were two students whose hearts and minds were in a mess after seeing the fight.
One was the student who fought with the instructor.
Vikram himself.
The other one was Adam, who was standing alone where the Vikram spar happened.
"Is this what you call genius?"
Adam felt a hurricane of emotion as he looked at the sparring area.
from being jealous of his friend's talent to being disgusted of himself to thinking he will be jealous of his own friend, then anger towards the world he lives in because of the unfairness.
He looked up at the sky as he said the word and felt disgusted.
"If I Could Have Talent Like Him"
Feeling disgust at what kind of human piece of sh*t he was, he walked away from the sparring area.
the moment he stepped out of the field, his system notification rang.
================================
#System window
[CODE WORD]
["If I Could Have Talent Like Him" has been said by the host.]
[Condition to Be Fulfilled]
[Physical Condition: Perfect Body] (Fulfilled)
[Emotional Condition: Disgust for himself] (Fulfilled)
[Become jealous of someone who you consider a friend.] (Fulfilled)
You can have a talent like him.
[Say CODEWORD Again to Initiate]
================================
Hearing the system, he was happy, but reading the condition as fulfilled,
the disgust he felt for himself only increased.
As every piece settled down, Adam did not let his anger and pride get in his way, as he understood why rank meant everything in the academy and why the once-on-top got special treatment.
and the ones at the bottom get nothing.
"everything because of fucking talent."
Adam once again looked at the sparring area as he spoke.
"If I Could Have Talent Like Him"
He felt a suction force on his body as his mind got pulled into the world of achievements.
Back at the nurse's office
Vikram lied on the bed as he touched his waist, feeling the stinging pain after fighting instructor Koukai.
"Ouch, it hurts. Is this the difference between me and an instructor? Then how strong is No. 1?"No, no, Vikram, you did not even reach the instructor levels; don't demotivate yourself by comparing yourself to the number one."
Vikram was in his thoughts as the curtain to the bed moved.
"Hello there, I am the head doctor of this academy, Elizabeth."
said as a woman with a white coat talked as she looked at Vikram, who lay on the bed.
Alongside her stood instructor Koukai, looking at Vikram.
"Instructor Koukai, OUCH!."
Seeing the instructor, Koukai Vikram tried to sit up straight, but the pain did not allow it.
"No need for formalities; just lay down on the bed, Ms. Elizabeth, and here we will examine you."
"Ok, then please pull up your uniform."
Elizabeth said 
Hearing it, Vikram pulled up his shirt.
"Oh my God, Koukai, what did he do to you that he beat him like this?" Elizabeth exclaimed.
as she saw a big black spot on Vikram's abdomen going from his right to the middle of his abdomen.
"I am sorry, Vikram, I did not control my strength at the last moment." Instructor Koukai apologised to both Vikram and Elizabeth.
But Elizabeth did let the metters leave and continue to nag instructor Koukai, but Koukai straight up ignored her.
Accepting defeat, Elizabeth continues to check on Vikram.
"Stay still for 5 minutes; it will heal up."
Elizabeth said as he cast her mana on Vikram.
Seeing the mana enter inside him without harming him, Vikram was amazed.
"Miss Elizabeth, are you a light-element hero?"
Vikram asked out of curiosity, as seeing a light element type hero was as rare as it could get.
Even if it was not as rare as the space element, it was still considered a rare element.
To get the picture of it, only 400 confirmed light element heroes are there in the world out of 2 million heroes, and every one of them is a person who sits at the top of the power system.
and seeing someone like them up close was a fortune of its own.
"I wish,but no, I am not a light element hero; I am a nature element hero."
"But then how is Ms. Elizabeth healing me?" Vikram asked as he felt that something was out of order as it was said that only the light element could heal the wound.
"Fuck holy church and there people spreading useless knowledge around the world, listen kid, light is not the only element that heals every element in the world as the property to heal it, just some are less effective than light element users."
Hearing it, Elizabeth got irritated, but he still answered and also cursed the holy church.
"The nature element is one of 10 elements that can equal or even rival the light element in the properties of healing."
Even when Elizabeth was explaining that she was continuing to heal Vikram with her magic,
"Now that's all you can do now."
Elizabeth said as the black mark on his abdomen disappeared.
"And also, Instructor Koukai, I want you to escort him to hisroom because his wounds would hurt even if he healed up."
"Okay," Instructor Koukai replied.
which caught Elizabeth's attention, but she did not mind.
"Okay, on your way, kid."
As Vikram stood up from the bed, he felt the pain—not an overwhelming pain but a slight stinging pain.
With instructor Koukai, he walked out of the nurse's office.
walking through the corridor, instructor Koukai suddenly turned to him.
"Vikram, I need to talk to you about something."
