Chapter 6: Awakening (2)

"The normal or basic spirit enhancement pill is the way normal, talentless people awaken their powers… As we all know, the power already resides in you but it's still at what we call the birth phase… The aim of the spirit enhancement pill is to forcibly push one's power from the birth phase to the Infant phase… Granting the users the ability to manifest their powers in their various, unique forms" The brown-haired lady in a ridiculously tight and short black suit said.

Even though she wasn't necessarily busty, she had good body shape and firm breasts. Her luscious butts coupled with the tight sexy black suit with her round firm breasts could easily arouse the ill intentions of all men who gazed upon her but none dared to make a move on her as she was a renown A rated guardian.

She was currently the highest-ranking guardian in the room!

"If I may ask, what are the various phases in the growth cycle of one's powers?" Zero asked thoughtfully.

Even when everyone else was lost in this guardian's alluring body, Zero seemed to be unfazed by it. His eyes remained cold and he looked dispirited as usual. Even Dan, Akila, and Kira were moved by this woman's attire yet Zero seemed indifferent.

Everyone began to wonder if this guy was gay or just asexual in nature.

"W… well… the lowest phase on the list is the infant phase which is divided into three tiers… The low tier, mid-tier, and top tier… and then there is the adolescent phase which also has the three tiers and finally the adult phase which also possesses the three phases… You should be aware of this, it's the basic knowledge and with your family background there is no way you could have missed this…" The brown-haired lady was still recovering from the shock she received from Zero as she spoke. She never thought this kid would be able to ignore her mature, alluring presence. Even female students worshipped her!

"Let's say the normal spirit enhancement pill is capable of pushing the special abilities of we superhumans from the birth phase to the low tier of the infant phase… From the looks of this, I can tell its way better than the common spirit enhancement pill… How much power boost do we get?" Zero said thoughtfully. Totally ignoring the eyes on him.

With a glance, Zero could already tell what this woman's intentions are. As their homeroom guardian, he naturally investigated her background, character, and recent activities. After going through the reports, he could only describe this woman with two words.

Gold Digger!

Unlike Dan and the rest, Zero has always been the cautious type even though he still had the pride of a billionaire. Miss Lane could easily be called the peak existence amongst her gender in the liberation union.

As someone who already possessed outstanding looks and beauty. Miss lane was able to back with up with the strength of a guardian, reaching her A guardian ratings at the age of 28. This could be considered an amazing achievement if it was actually true but what Zero found out was that the lady's true strength lies somewhere between the top tier of the B ratings and the lower tier of the A ratings. This lady has gone up the ranks at a very alarming speed through the use of her body and her power to back it up.

It wasn't surprising to Zero that she would try to ensnare 13-year-old kids who had higher potentials while they are still young and weak. This way, when they grow and reach their peak they will still be tied to her. Zero knew many top officials of the institution which she slept just to be chosen as the homeroom guardian of the elite class A.

"I… I.. I am not sure… The professors here will enlighten you on that" Miss lane quickly backed away under Zero's cold gaze. For the first time in her entire life, she felt threatened in the presence of a student!

"O… okay then… Young master…" A bald aged man in a large white lab coat and plain spectacles took a few steps forward.

"The product behind me, in those 3-liter gas tanks are similar to the spiritual enhancement pills, just in gaseous form and a bit more concentrated…. Each of these gas tanks possesses gaseous substances worth a hundred spiritual enhancement pills. This will definitely raise the effects of the awakening on the users… increasing their overall power by about 50 percent" The man spoke carefully. He seemed to be scared of Zero as well for some unknown reason.

"50 percent? Using the growth table of super abilities, what level will that place us?" Zero asked with narrowed eyes and knitted eyebrows. He was honestly interested in these enhanced products.

"Well, it won't help you break through the infant phase but it will definitely place you at a higher level even amongst those in the same low tier of the infant phase… Those with higher potential may directly skip the low tier and jump all the way to the mid-tier of the infant phase!" The bald man explained with an excited smile on his face.

A satisfied smile appeared on Zero's face as well and he nodded at the man in approval. He was satisfied with the effects of the enhanced product which was capable of making someone skip a whole tier. This may not seem like much but it was a major bonus that could give them an edge in real combat, life, and death situations.

"I truly love curious minds… If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask" The bald man was obviously pleased with Zero's curiosity towards their work.

"In that case, then I have a final question… There are numerous situations where a person's super abilities growth stagnates and that is assumed to be his peak… Some a bit earlier and the others a bit later… Considering this, how strong do you think the four wings of the liberation union were at that time… What level do you think their powers reached before it stopped improving?" Zero asked with a stern look on his face.

Everyone in the room was startled by his question and at this time they realized the other three members of their little group wore serious expressions on their faces, they too were interested in getting the answer to this question.

"Well it's hard to say…" the bald professor said while rubbing his smooth chin with his right hand.

"I was alive back then during the blood war and at that time I witnessed your parent's brilliant performance during the war which earned them their titles… at that time I believe their super power's growth level was at the top tier of the adolescent phase…" The bald man said with admiration and pity in his eyes.

"And the God sects two masters? I heard they were more powerful than our parents at that time… They were and are the most powerful beings in the sovereign federation… What power level was they at during the blood war era" Zero asked with furrowed eyebrows. His rage and anger were visible and this scared those around them slightly. Four murderous auras of different colors slowly diffused from Zero and the body of the others as they waited for the bald man to answer.

[How can they manifest their aura to this level without undertaking the awakening?] The bald man was startled.

Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and soon he was soaked. He didn't possess special abilities or martial art skills, he could only reach his current position now due to his sheer knowledge and brilliance. In the presence of four super-powered kids who are the direct descendants of the four strongest S rated heroes of the country, he couldn't help but feel anxious even though he knew their anger wasn't necessarily directed towards him.

"At that time, the two masters of the God sect were definitely more powerful than you're the four wings of the liberation union. Their power levels were at the low tier of the adult phase… They could defeat any one of your parents alone but when your parents joined hands against them, they were placed in a disadvantaged position after battling fiercely for days and were forced to retreat. From the reports, it was said that your parents heavily injured them in that battle… This must be why they returned after so many years and assassinated your parents…" The bald man replied shortly after the question was asked.

"If our parents could force them back at that time… why couldn't they do it again?" Kira asked with a stern look on his face. He wore a plain black shirt inside and a red leather jacket on top of it, his red trousers and red boots matched with the color of the jacket, and then there was a white flame badge at the center of the black shirt, that was the school badge. His red aura blended in well with his red attire and his red spiky hair making him look like a tyrannic C.E.O.

"Well after the war, the guardians of that age settled down and had their families… The practiced less and lived more, in turn, their cultivation level regressed greatly… Your parents were no longer at their peak and I strongly believe that the two masters of the god sect kept training all through, preparing for the day they can steal the life of your parents… I believe their strength improved as well… So even if your parents were at their peak strength when they were still young, they still would have lost. Only that the fight would have lasted long enough for help to arrive" The bald man spoke slowly as he poured out his personal opinion on the matter.

Zero and the other three only nodded in response. They seemed satisfied with the answer the received and they were truly grateful to this bald man.

"If I may ask… You four have refused to let your parent's burial rites be completed… the world is waiting for you all… Why?" The bald man asked something that seemed to have been bothering him for a while.

BANG!

Zero's aura spike and poured out violently. His eyes turned purple and clothes and hair fluttered fiercely in the air due to the air current his violent aura was producing.

"They killed our parents and left with the body! Until we have killed those bastards and returned to bodies of our parents to the liberation union, no form of burial will take place… We will only mourn their death after this!" Zero usually dispirited roared in anger, staring at the man with insane murderous intentions!
