We see our protagonist; Lucas J. Adams head towards Mt. Jasmine. As per the agreement, he is to meet the 1st Global rank; Merciless or Evan Avalon, at 24:30 inorder to begin their training.
But of course, Lucas showed up at 10:00am, which is the equivalent to our 3:34am. So yeah, he had to wait 14 hours. Nonetheless, he decided to run a couple Ultras to warm up.
[Fact; Urthopia is much larger than Earth and our own sun. So, some new units to measure length was invented. A Semi-Ultra (Sut) was equal to 1507.8 miles. An Ultra (Ut) was the equivalent to 250Sut. Meaning ,
1Ut=376, 950 miles.]
Of course, Lucas used his [Unique class skill: Limitless ]. This allows Lucas to absorb unlimited oxygen and energy from the small holes on his skin, giving him the ability to work without ever getting tired.
Merciless after showing up, was enraged at Lucas for ACTUALLY showing up at 10'O clock , and decided to give him a punishment of 12, 000 pushups.
What do you think Lucas did? Lucas straight up said to Evan,
"That's it? Old man, I do 24, 000 push ups as a warm up and you want to give 12, 000 as a punishment? If you're going to train me, give me a CHALLENGE!!" Evan, being known as Merciless got even MORE enraged and gave Lucas the assignment to do,
1) 560, 000 push ups.
2) 600, 000 sit ups.
3) Six hours of balancing his entire body with his index and middle finger.
Merciless felt inferior to our Mc, as Lucas accomplished all of this in six hours and thirty minutes under his supervision.
And guess what? Lucas even complained to the hero.
"THIS IS NOT THE MERCILESS WAY. THIS IS MERCIFUL! GIVE. ME. A. CHALLENGE." But by the time the complaint reached Lucas, it was already time to head back...
So let's go a day into the future!!
"Lucas, considering you have already surpassed Benovian ranks in terms of strength, agility and durability, I think I should help you develop new phases." We see Evan Avalon speaking with Lucas about what the rest of their training should consist of. "So first, show off all of your phases. And I'll assess what all their weaknesses are before applying what your next phase should consist of." Evan said.
Lucas nodded and took a few steps back. He began releasing his aura.
[Fact: Lucas' aura was very unique. While most people had auras with a single colour, there were people with two colours in their auras. They normally had either white, red, gray, purple or orange as their primary colours and white, red, gray, purple, black, orange, green, blue or yellow as their secondary colors. But Lucas' aura's primary colour was black and its secondary colour was a dark violet. This made Lucas fall into the Red class. This class was the class to which abnormal people fall into. People of this class normally have either the characteristics of two classifications of other Executive wielders.]
Lucas' began releasing more of his energy before he began increasing the heart rate of his six hearts. Steam began emitting from his skin before he obtained a dark red glow. His sky blue eyes took on a blood red colour.
"Phase 2: Blood Rush!!" Lucas cried out ending the release of his energy. "This phase increases my agility at the cost of my strength and defense decreasing." Lucas told Merciless.
Not long after, Lucas closed Blood Rush and yet again, began releasing his energy. Lucas' skin took a silver colour and his sky blue eyes shifted into a moss green colour. He yelled out,
"Phase 2: King of Steel!!" Lucas' energy dispersed before he spoke. "This phase is the complete opposite of Blood Rush. Instead of increasing agility, this phase multiplies my strength and defense in exchange for my agility." Lucas closed King of Steel and reverted to his base form.
Evan Avalon, after thinking for a while, finally replied to Lucas.
"The phase you need is one that empowers your Quara." Lucas felt a bit of frustration. And so he asked.
"Mr. Evan, would you mind explaining to me, about what 'Quara' really is?" Evan nodded and let out a sigh.
"I agree, it is time for you to learn what your skill is truly capable of." He began walking towards the jasmine water fall. He signaled Lucas to follow him.
Lucas did so. He walked alongside the hero and reached their destination. Evan walked a bit further before turning around and facing Lucas.
"Do know what the classifications of skill are, Lucas?" Evan asked. Lucas nodded.
"Yes, there are five groups of skills, each depending on their rarity and power. The weakest and most common; [Common], the skills you gain by learning fighting styles; [Extra], the skill which are found within less than 5% of the population; [Special], skils which are found within one or two people at most; [Unique] and lastly, the most powerful and rarest; [Ultimate]".
Evan clapped,amazed at Lucas' accurate explanation about skills.
"Very good." Evan spoke. "Fun fact, it is actually a requirement for a hero to possess an [Ultimate class] skill, if they want to be a Global ranked." Lucas nodded and said.
"I know. You yourself have two, if I'm not mistaking." Evan chuckled and said.
"Three, in my current state." He quickly shook off his pride and began speaking in a more stern voice.
"[Quara] is a Special class skill. It allows the user to accomplish three major feats which are unreachable by normal means." Evan held up three fingers and continued. "It is the combination of three [Extra class] skills; [Qi], [Quaron], [Qilan]."
Evan stepped a few steps backwards and clenched his fist.
"[Qi] allows the user to unleash destructive shock waves from their limbs." Evan said.
He threw a fist into the air. And with it, powerful gusts of wind emerged and cut through the sky. He lowered his fist and continued.
"[Quaron] allows the user to manipulate a special type of energy and cover parts of their body with it." A black liquid like substance covered the hero's hand. "[Qilan] is the ability to manipulate the forces of nature ". A smug grin spread through Evan's face. "I'm too lazy to teach you about them, so learn them on your own."
Lucas' jaw dropped as Evan said with a sneer on his face. But, not wanting to be seen as a failure, he smirked.
"I was hoping you'd say that, Mr. Evan." He reassured the hero that he'd master this skill, if it was the last thing he'd do.
He sat down on the ground and began his meditation. 'Although he doesn't look like it,' Evan told himself 'he's an idiot. Quara is developed by physical training. He can't achieve it by some stupid meditation! '
Meanwhile...
Lucas opened his eyes to find himself, floating in the middle of a dark void.
{The host has been detected and seems to have appeared through meditation. May I ask, what the purpose of your visit is?}
A voice questioned Lucas. He crossed his arms and smirked.
"I want you to transfer all of the extra skills and info that [Quara ] offers me". Lucas answered. After a while, the voice spoke yet again.
{Successful. The host's physical body now possess all the [extra class ] skills the [Special class ] skill; [Quara ] offers.}
{The host has used up the system's request count for the week. The system will be shutting down temporarily. You will be able to use it once the timer runs out.}
{699 hours, 149 minutes, 355 seconds}
With those words, Lucas felt a surge of power. He smirked before closing his eyes.
Later...
Lucas opened his eyes to see Count Evan looking at the sky.
"You okay?" Lucas questioned the hero. Evan looked at Lucas and said.
"I'm fine. But it seems like you realised you can't achieve [Quara] by some meditation!" A smug grin appeared on Lucas' face.
He stood up and pulled his fist back. He threw his fist and from it, a powerful shockwave released.
Lucas looked back at Evan and saw his jaw opened. He smiled and said in a jolly tone.
"You were saying?" Count Evan couldn't believe his eyes. (This kid... what is he?)
