Chapter 76 : The four ways of asura.
" Since the test of potentials are over let's proceed with the impartation procedures. " Old Arlong exclaimed out.
Old Arlong then made the token holders stand in front of the mysterious object one by one, which was about to impart them with powerful skills, depending on the grade of the potentials they had shown previously.
Starting with the green garden potential youth, that ranked last in the test earlier. The token holders had to go before the object to get imparted.
The green grade potential youth had held his token tightly within his palms, expecting for a good skill to be presented to him, by the object before him.
Whoosh!
A green colour runes corresponding to the youth's potential had abruptly originated from the object itself. It made few swirls around the mysterious object and ran directly towards that youth.
Bang!
The youth was pushed backwards, few meters away from his initial position, and found lying flat over the ground with his eyes closed, and fingers tightly crouched against his palm.
The runes had moved at an lightning speed towards him earlier and ran between his brows, leaving a slight trace of a rash over his forehead, which had disappeared shortly in a matter of seconds.
Few seconds after the fall, the green grade potential youth had got back on his feet, standing without any need for support as if nothing major had happened to him earlier.
But the brilliant shine over his eyes had made him reveal that the skill he obtained was more than what he had actually expecting it to be.
The depression he got earlier, from being placed at last was no longer seen over his eyes. Since he had obtained a green garde skill, which is actually a tier above the ordinary white grade skill his family cherished, he was quite pleased with it.
Since a white grade skill was precious, nevertheless a skill at green or blue grade. The arena would never allow a trouble maker to enter this test again, unless there was a decision made by upper management itself, the final decision makers of this vast arena.
Since this opportunity was not gonna be presented to them for a second time, mark was able to see the nervousness over the faces of the other participants besides him, levi as usual was full of spirit, keeping her bronze saber close to her heart.
Followed by him, the one who had been ranked a place before him went forward, standing at the very place his fellow token holder had been imparted with a skill earlier.
Whoosh!
Bang!
Like earlier, he was also tossed back. But the impact this time had thrown him few more meters apart than compared to the green grade potential youth, as the runes this time were found with the colour of blue, a tier above the skills of green grade.
One after the other the remaining token holders had went before the object, expecting for a good skill to pop out for them.
Green and blue were the only skills recieves by the other two participants.
Now it was the turn for Levi, the entire body of crowd had turned silent without making a single noise. As they were about to spectate an impartation of the red grade potential girl, the one who had shocked them the most, besides mark.
Clang!
Unlike others, Levi had clasped her token hardly against her bronze saber, after reaching that place.
The audience were confused for a bit, because no other participant they had spectated before had done such strange thing before the mysterious object.
It was as if she was hinting the object before her to present with an appropriate skill that's related to the saber.
The whole of the rectangular stage below her vibrated vigorously. The shaking could be very well felt by the mark and others besides him, who were standing a few tens of meters away from the very object itself.
Like a coiling dragon, the runes had made a loud screech and started to make several swirls around the mysterious object. The air around the object got tensed up, raising the temperature of the surroundings. Moisture in the air was vaporising at a rapid rate, with the generation of the sparks that made it look grandeur.
Before any one could probably reason out the exact cause behind it, the dark red coloured runes had ran between her brows, not as fast as before, and the runes had also not throw her abruptly like the other token holders had been experienced with.
It took ten whole seconds, before the large stream of the runes had finally finished entering her head.
A distinct mark of a cooling dragon could be seen on her forehead, that disappeared shortly before any one could probably notice it.
Mark didn't know what skill she probably had obtained, but it seldom wouldn't have to be an ordinary one either.
She had an exited face for a second before returning back to the normal.
" Had this Levi girl been imparted with a saber skill? Would clasping the token against the desired weapon could provide us the desired skill itself? "
Mark was curious, and not just him but the spectators, managers and even the token holders themselves were curious about that.
Because they could mimic her and get a desired skills, which would be suitable for them if that was found true.
Since she did not seem to care much about the test earlier, but had made an excited expression over her face, during impartation, mark had guessed " Was this the exact reason behind her to enter this puny test. With her strength, she could easily dominate the top ranks in the chosen twenty itselves.
At last it was mark's turn, the one who had displayed the strongest potential at the test earlier.
The audience were expecting him to make the same disturbance as earlier, since they were not able to clearly spectate every scenes made by levi earlier.
" Clasp this token thing against a weapon right! " Mark was not sure about this function, and since there was no harm in trying it, he mimicked the same action of Levi and clasped the token hard, against his dead man blades.
Clang! Clang!
The mysterious object had made no strange reaction as earlier, as if no such impartation were about to be taken place here.
He went further towards the mysterious object, standing at its close proximity and clasped the tokens hardly against the blade.
Clang! Clang!
Seeing that no visible change had occurred to it, he continued until it made one as such.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang.... !
Seeing mark who appeared to be making a fool out of him, the onlookers sighed " Sigh! This girl had thoroughly fooled this mark kid. The case of clasping weapons, to provide appropriate skills to the token holder seems nonexistent. "
" Had she fooled me!? Or did I made a mistake in the process? " Mark had curses internally.
But quite opposite to their expectations, runes started popping out from its surface at a slow rate, with a breathtaking pressure exerted over by it.
Mark who was at its close proximity got lost his balance and slipped over the floor.
Unlike before where the scene appeared quite grandeur, the runes appeared quite chaotic this time, the molten red colour of the runes had carried a sinister aura around it. If it was a dragon before, this time it appeared more of an asura that descended down the very core of hell itself.
The floor which had vibrated earlier, started developing cracks and the token holders besides him were finding their hard time standing on top the ground.
Mark by this time was lying flat over the ground visualising the entire process from a close distance.
It was as if an asura had been starring at him from above. He wanted to make himself ready for the impartation that was about to happen.
Before he could finally get back on his feet, mark was again tossed over the floor, with these massive runes that were entering his head unceasingly.
" Ah~~~~~~~~ ! "
His soul though had been baptised in countless battles that far exceeds the hair over his head.
His reincarnated body of a child had not been used to such intolerable pains, unless it was a situation of an life and death battles, mark was not able to pump up his adrenalin to the peak and fight as a warrior he used to be at past.
This impartation this time around had almost broke open his head, the vast amount of knowledge contained within it was flowing through his eyes.
Same as Levi before, it took ten whole seconds for the runes to completely enter in, and few more seconds before mark could get back to normal.
The skill he was imparted with was called "The four ways of asura" Doesn't know weather the blades of him, which were refined by asura bones were the cause, or it was just a coincidence that a skill with a name of asura was inscribe on top of it.
The rectangular floor below him was broken into pieces, and Mark had found him lying between the broken debris of the tiles, on the rectangular floor.
Soon he could find himself seeing a huge interface in brown, which was present below the flying platform itself, revealing out some numbers besides the participant names.
Mark finds his name at the top followed by Levi, then the others arranged accordingly to their potentials after them.
Result :
Mark Flame Glory - 860
Levi Mist - 850
Gregor Dell Mount - 21
Haylin Von Hall - 21
Clain Astarait - 21
Sidmon Saqil - 6
" Mark flame glory! Hahaha... This arena had registered my name as such, since farthur was toonsupportive of me!
And this Levi she gave out half her name. Masking her aqua part within it, and just what use these points used for?
Could they help me exchange resources! like those of high class artifact and such, if not aren't they just for show! " Mark had exclaimed internally.
The four ways of the asura had four steps and completely comprehending the four was an arduous process and was not going to be at ease. Once mark conjured them, he was sure that this new skill could also present him with powers that could help him fight more effectively against the mutants themselves, instead of being toyed around by them.
He gets back on his feet, tidying up his cloths before going back to the place where the others had been standing.
