Stream coming out of his body, the energy orb is unstable and madly absorb the surroundings energy. Soon his body cooled down.

Rnak! I never heard of the rank of the ability. Strength? It doesn't explained the ability yet. I guess I will have to learn through training.
And I have reached Rank " E ".
I get up from my bed and went to the bathroom to clean myself. Because of the rank up my body release the impurities.
After cleaning, I grabbed my sword and head towards the cafeteria.
On the way to the cafeteria, I remember something, " Shit, I forgot my cigarette. "
Never mind I can just stop smoking for a day. I met Elsa inside the cafeteria. She is talking to the chief. I walked towards her in order to greet her.
" Hello. "
Elsa turned at my direction and nodded, went back to talking. I don't hear nothing. It seem like the sound wave blocked the conversation. Strange!
Whatever I don't interest in Elsa private life. I order a plain meal and eat.
After that I go to the training room, I have nothing else to do. Classes are for normal students.
I trained the sword again. This time there is no people in the room. Only me.
I tried to active my ability, Strengthen.
It is easier to active the ability. My body feels stronger full of life. The step I take feel fresh. My vision become clearer. The technique I performed become powerful.
My body strength, agile and energy output become twice.
I see this ability allow me to Strengthen everything twice.
If I become more powerful, the strength output will become more deadly. " You got a lot power for Rank " E ", kid. " The sound come from my right side. With my instinct I immediately slash the direction where the sound come from.
I thought I feel someone strong but there is nothing. " Great instinct. "
This time the sound come behind me. I turned around. There is a man looking at my stance while rubbing his chin.
He nodded. " So you are the one that Elsa chose. "
Seeing my lack of reply, he scratched his head, " Ohh. I don't even introduce myself. "
He extent his hand for handshake. " Zeph. I'm Ryfin teacher and your teacher's friend. "
Ryfin teacher. I heard from Elsa that Ryfin is abnormalities so he must be really strong if he can teach Ryfin.
I shake back and introduce.
His energy enter my body, I don't have any means to stop. His energy was stronger and even pure then mine.
I expect something painful but I only feel refresh. Zeph let go my hand and smile. His smile froze midair.
He disappeared. The energy fraction in atmosphere were nonexistent. It is almost like he never exists in the first place.
I was left stunned. Regain from the shock, I trained. I eat and train. Recycled repeat like yesterday. I don't see any sight of Ryfin and Elsa today.
In the evening, I walked to my room. Today is a boring day , I just mindlessly trained. There is nothing else I can do. Emily is busy studying. I don't have any other friend. And this kind of mindless training doesn't improve.
Boring.
On the park where last night incident happen, there is a girl standing on my way. There is no blood and no one asked me about it so I don't worry about those two guys.
What interesting is that the girl waiting me is the girl form last night. She look at my direction. Not gonna lie, she is beautiful. That is all I feel about her. She is beautiful and stupid who in the right mind go outside midnight.
She stop me from walking. I told, " What? "
She looked at my face and blushed. " Thank you for yesterday. "
I nodded. " That is all you had to say? "
She blush again and nodded.
I said, " Ok." and left. After four steps away from her, she run toward me and garb my shoulder. I turn my head and met cold eyes staring me. she is shorter then me so it seem like children angry at adult.
Interesting. It is her true self?
Human psychology Interest me. The emotion come from thin air and create massive effect on human.
I said with expressionless, " What do you want from me? " while removing her hand from my shoulder.
She smiled again and said, " Come with me."
" Where? I am not gonna go to some random place especially someone with someone like you. "
" Great point. Then how about your place?" She replied while putting her finger on her lips, acting cute. But it doesn't work on me.
I shake and suggest, " How about cafeteria? Easy to go and open space. You can call for your friend's help too if you feel threaten."
She flinched at my answer. I noticed that the shadow in this park has energy fraction just like last time. So there must be someone she can rely on.
She lead the way. Soon we are in the cafeteria sitting on the table. The third floor of course. I drink water and she take coffee. It was a night time probably around 7 pm. My body is sticky, I want to shower quickly.
With no more patience left , I said, " Speak ."
She slipped her coffee dramatically after wiping her mouth with tissue. She said. Finally.
" Do you know why there is no third and half of second years missing in this school? "
' Ahh. Really. I don't even know. ' I shake.
" There is war happening in east side of the wall. "
I silence waiting for another sentence.
But there is nothing afterwards. " That is? "
She nodded. I see. So Union drag school third years and some talented second years into war. Then what about us? When are we going to fight?
" I suggested that talented people should make a team to assure our survival in war. So I make a team. Will you join us? "
" Talented people? "
She nodded. " But not as talented as you? "
What does she mean by that? I am talented? Although I pick up sword skill really quickly, Ryfin have even more talent than me.
" What are you talking about? "
She signed and told me, " You are abnormalities just like Ryfin. You have the talent of god. "
I see. Surprisingly I digest this information quickly.
" You said about team right? How many members are there in that team? "
" Five including me. "
" Does Ryfin join your team? " She shake her head. " He said he prefer doing solo. "
" I don't want to join some shabby team without even knowing then."
Her eyes light up. If Luciansaid like this mean he at least interest in learning. She replied, " So how about we all go to the dungeon and see our teammates. "
Dungeon? I want to go to the dungeon. They are crack forming because of other world's destruction. Their precious collection of energy stone and item are placed in the dungeon. The world's energy create this dungeon to make humanity stronger.
The dungeon monster will give him experience. His fighting skill will improve. So there is no point in refusing.
I nodded. She write down something on tissue and give it to me. There is a bunch of number.
" This is my contact information. Call me tomorrow. I will inform location. "
" Time? " " 7 am would be nice. "
I drink now no so cold water and left.
On the way, I list her number in contact information. I paused. I don't even asked her name. I will asked tomorrow.
" Creepy girl. " with that I save the contact information.
I take a shower. After a quick smoke, I searched information about monster.
They are hybrid of earth origin animals and some attributes. They can use energy. They even drop energy stone, which can later use in creating potion and other unknown stuff that is only available for union awakener.
You can sell energy stone for high price too. But he doesn't need money. But I want to but new sword like badass one some awakener use. He don't know where they get their weapons but with money I am sure you can buy anything.
I called Elsa about tomorrow plan. She agreed so she must know something about the team.
I text Emily about today new. She and I talked about a lot of things.
She is my only friend in this world. She taught me how to smoke which give me alone time. I thank her for that.
In the morning.
He wake up at 5:30 am. I warmed up my body and practice sword.
After that I went to cafeteria to eat.
At 6:45 am, I called Creepy girl.
" Hey. Where should I go? "
" Just stay at the park. I will pick you."
The man appeared from the shadow. He bow to me and lead the way. Outside the school, there is a black car waiting. The man opened and reveal the girl sitting.
I entered. " What is your name? "
Hearing unexpected question form me she back away but the car doesn't allow her to move more than a few inch.
" Selena. "
" Nice. I am Lucian. So where are we going? "
" Beginner Dungeon. "
I nodded. This dungeon is a nice place for people like him because the reward for cleaning the dungeon different from various people. The world's energy gives awakeners their signature skill or weapon in beginner dungeon.
