Adam walker's POV
After overcoming the disorienting feeling that came with the teleportation,I found myself in a thick ancient looking forest.
I looked around and my gaze settled on the screen of my smartwatch which was showing the word points with the number zero next to it and also an icon which was screaming tap me. I tapped on it and a few instructions related to the test shone.
E ranked beasts = 10 pts .
D ranked beasts = 50 pts.
C ranked beasts = 100 pts.
Other participants = 500 pts.
B ranked beasts = 1000 pts.
'What the hell there are B ranked beasts in the test are they trying to kill us?'.
You can understand my reasoning as I am only peak iron rank which is equivalent to peak D ranked beasts and B ranked are equivalent to platinum rank.
Just a little over two years ago I was just a normal fourteen year old who was removed from the orphanage and sent back to my parents house where I grew up till I was seven.
As they believed I was now old enough to cater for myself even though there will be a continuous government allowance of 500 credits a month till I become eighteen.
I soon settled into my new life finding odd jobs to do as while the 500 credits could sustain me it is just that sustain not live well.
I worked in a bakery for two months then i quit and moved to be an attendant to at a blacksmith shop.
It was there where I awakened my bloodline. It was just like any other morning I got to the shop to sweep the floor and lit up the furnace before the blacksmith Old man jin arrived.
I went to lit up the furnace but didn't notice some magnesium alloys next to it and left.
I was tidying other places around the corner when I felt a sizzling sound i turned only to see an explosion starting from the furnace spreading towards me, I instinctively put up my arms in defense and it felt like something was unlocked within my very core.
After a few moments of not feeling any burn, pain or shockwave, I hesitantly peeled my eyes open to lake a look and oh was I shocked a meter around me there was nothing while almost the entire shop was blazing in flames.
I got out of my dazed state and moved, and to my surprise following my movement the flames were extinguishing while the place i stood a few seconds ago was now in flames.
That was the day my life changed, I had awakened my bloodline and the fact that it took this long was surprising to say the least.
I had already prepared to live a mediocre mundane life but as fate would have it that wasn't what was in store for me.
From then I took an indefinite leave from work or rather just disappeared to escape the blame.
I never ever went back to the area where the shop was and thankfully no one around there knew where I lived not even Old man jin.
one day I'll find a way to repay him for destroying his shop albeit anonymously.
Since after the incident I had started trying to train my bloodline because I knew what was coming two years later as I would be forced to apply to one of the nine academies.
And I wanted to enter the best. If you fail to enter one, you would be automatically sent to the weakest one Polaris academy in pluto.
Another thing that has been bothering me was that ever since I awakened I can't seem to express much emotion on my face and it seems to get worst with time it's like my emotions are numbing down.
Back to my bloodline I tried and tried but no matter what I did I couldn't repeat that same feat the bloodline just refused to budge.
It was like a metaphysical energy moving malleable inside my body but I never seem to grasp it.
Weeks passed, I was trying and trying again this time just living on the measly allowance given by the government it was then I felt it.
The reason why I couldn't replicate that feat or even move my bloodline was because it wasn't a bloodline but two bloodlines.
This time I looked inside myself to see my bloodline it was like a sea of consciousness of sort, only bloodline holders can access it as its where the bloodline resides.
Entering inside I could see two different colors of thick strings moving together, one red and the other somewhat glass like. Now all I have to do is try to move one without moving the other.
You must be wondering where I got information about all this well it was all on the internet at least since a little after 3000 years ago after the Asuras attack.Before those times this information was tightly kept in a lid by the military, academies and the big clans and only when one joins their faction does one get resources.
Back to what I was doing it took me a few days before I was able to move one alone the red one specifically and then tried to use it's abilities as I wanted to know which one I instinctively used on that day.
I activated it I felt something around me change I couldn't quite put a finger to it but to my eyes there was nothing that changed so I tried to activate the glass like one and then I felt it.
It was the same one I had instinctively used that day, then I infused it with energy and behold some pieces of rocks and debris started to levitate off the ground.
I increased the output of energy and heavier things like a decent sized boulder at the corner of where I was training also levitated.
From that day I was training the bloodline I came to call gravity manipulation every day as for the other one I still can't seem to figure out what it does.
From then i advanced in rank from early bronze which you are upon awakening to peak iron rank where I am now.
To advance in bloodline rank one has to condense the said bloodline until it can no longer be condensed, then it will reach a new threshold and evolve entering a new rank.
0 to 50% condensed is early, 51 to 95% mid and 96 to 100% is peak.
I applied for nebula academy even though there was the military academy on earth which was my resident planet.
Two days before the exam all participants who applied to nebula are to go the portal station to use a portal which is free for participants to arrive at Jupiter.
Now back to entrance Exam I sighted the silhouette of a feline like beast one that looked like a leopard.
it was an early D rank and a few moments later it saw me, the moment it did it charged at me like a raging bull on steroids.
I raised my arm horizontally facing the beast and muttered repel with no delay it shot backwards like an arrow released from a bow.
