Meanwhile...
In a large building hidden from plain sight a large number of people in a logistics command room could be seen all focusing on the data on the screen.
A man wearing a logistics coat with an Astral City emblem on it and holding a screen with info on it walked to a man sitting on the side lazily.
But despite the mans carefree attitude he could feel the over flowing presence of a Tracendant in him.
Sir, we've noticed large number of
awakened 'hell bats' flying across the city.
What personnel should we send to clean them?
Hmm.. let me see that, the man said as he dragged the screen from the man in logistics coat.
Since it's an aerial territory kind of work it will be best if I narrow it down.
Awakens! Nope too weak.
Ascendants! Will take too much time..
How about a Tracendant, will get it done but they are too important.
Sir! The man in logistics coat interrupted him from his train of thoughts.
Not seeming to mind it, he listened.
What do you have in mind?
"Sir, there are this Ascendant brothers Nike an Dale they have this flame synergy ability it's quite the wide range."
Looking at their info showing on the interface, he grinned in satisfaction
Brilliant! They will just do, send them there immediately.
But sir, what if they don't accept. Sir those bats are a lot.
Just do what I said those bats are coming their way, they can't just ignore it.
On it! The man in a coat said as he sent several instructions to the personnel working in the room...
"Two brothers with a striking resemblance but distinctive hair colour, blue and red could be seen with some groceries and on their way home."
Even the night sky couldn't dim the slight glow on their hair.
Bro! Look we got commissioned directly by the logistics department. And it's a high difficulty one, it says our abilities will suit it just fine.
Let's me see the details, the red haired one said; the more he read the more his expression got ugly.
What's wrong Dale? Nike asked his brother seeing his face.
Some hell bats are heading our way and we need to eliminate them.
Suddenly they both noticed the torrent of darkness in the sky heading their way.
"Hell bats! their teeth gnashed in anger, I won't be happy if it's someone else commissioned."
Let's clean our home district.
Red and blue lights both circulated their bodies as they shot to the sky at full speed, not spearing any aura.
Some people who saw them took off gasped in awe.
It wasn't long till they confronted the bats in the sky stopping them from advancing, but the bats didn't care about their strong auras because of their numbers.
But what shocked people watching was what happened next, the two brothers started circulating each other and they turned into flames after muttering some words.
"A Yin Yang patter of flames stared spreading in a disk form, spinning rapidly and stretching two kilometers in seconds for the bats to see but not react in time."
And what followed next was chaos as the flames consumed the bats to aches soon raining down the sky.
Two dimming flames slowly fell down.
The two bros looked at each other smiling.
Damn! That was intense I have only so little aura left, the Dale muttered weakly.
We pulled it off, the rewards will be so worth it...
People at the ground were cheering loudly.
The man in question that commissioned them was on the chair in an office drinking coffee lazily.
A lady wearing pure green garment with a pure and enchanting presence entered the room.
'O' Tracendant Veronica what brings you here to my office.
Drop the act! Fred, why would you let bats enter this city even if it's only a part of it, there shouldn't be even one a mile near this city.
Am sure the military should have delt with it but am surprised that no measures were taken.
"Don't worry it was by my request, he muttered."
You could have commissioned me a Tracendant or someone else but letting just two ascendants deal with it doesn't make sense.
And let me see what reward did you give them, she said before swiftly taking a piece of paper from his desk.
What! A grade breaking treasure her body glowed slightly in anger before calming down.
"Thank God this room is sealed, he muttered inwardly."
She continued all this for you to have a Tracendant under you.
Two! he corrected her.
Since their ability involves synergy the special energy of the treasure will be distributed among them making two Tracendants.
She gasped in surprise, there is such an ability. Now you will have two Tracendants under you she said with a bit of envy.
Not just any Tracendants they are my students, he smugly said.
I've been looking for an excuse to give them that but this is perfect, he said.
Simply tired of listening to his achievement she snorted before walking away do what you want!
Meanwhile..
7:30Am
Jacob woke up in his room and stretched feeling refreshed.
Last night adventure was surely hellish he said to himself.
70% he noticed his aura levels, he did spent quite the amount of aura running away.
He walked up to his door having changed cloth s and freshinged up, Sebastian was knocking.
Good morning, young master..
Morning Sebastian...
They both walked to the dinning table.
Where are my parents?
Noticing the empty seats he asked.
They went on a business journey as usual, Sebastian said dropping Jacobs food on the table.
He gulped down his food.
Sebastian stared at him intently.
Noticing it he asked, Is there a problem having finished his food?
What happened last night?
"Looking at Sebastian concerned face he had to tell him."
"He did come home disoriented, to the extent Sebastian had to give him a healing potion but didn't ask any questions as to let him sleep."
Well I did run into some problems, I visited the cities garden to meditate.
But I noticed awakened bats flying in the sky but one strayed in my direction to my dismay I had to fight it.
I won with some difficulty he said nonchalantly.
But one of my ability activated did disturb the garden to an extent. Vines started appearing and you know what happened next.
After that I ran for my life.
Sebastian nodded in understanding one can't mess with Veronica's garden and just walk away it's her domain.
What ability do you have? I've been curious about it for some time.
Jacob thought for a moment before saying; well it's a domain ability of mine called Gloom Domain.
Wait Sebastian interrupted does it induce a gloomy feeling to people, specifically gloom?
Yeah.
"Even i don't know the full extent of my ability and it having no grade makes it even more unknown to me, he thought to himself."
Interesting I've never seen an ability like it Sebastian stroked his chin. I can guess you don't know it's full extent since you haven't test it on anybody.
You mean you are willing to be a test subject, Jacob said with some suppressed excitement in his voice.
No no, not that he corrected you can come see the effect yourself. He started walking in the direction of the court yard he trained yesterday.
It didn't take them a minute to reach there.
Having entered he looked around before turning to Jacob.
You should know am a level 6 Awakened a mid stage in the awakened rank which means my senses are probably more sharper than yourself.
