Chapter 82 : Test of talent ( part 6 )

" Well... Forming a team is not an issue to this levi, but what could I possibly gain by joining hands with an ordinary grand master cultivator? " Levi had put a question for mark, and her reasoning was also reasonable to begin with.

The way she asked him was neither arrogant nor was it humiliative, it's just that she didn't had much hopes for mark, to bring a difference here.

Being a king class cultivator, though she wasn't able to properly use her mana, her body with a king class cultivation base wouldn't necessarily be crushed easily by the puppet before her earlier.

Mark though may be a genius to her eyes, he has yet to mature, before he could have sufficient strength to make that bold claim before her, as he did earlier.

Unless there were some special skills which makes mark unique at present, he would be of much use to her, nevertheless, may even considered a burden, which she had to protect as of later.

" Well... Miss levi, though this mark may have a measly cultivation of an aura grand master, you wouldn't necessarily regret, if you form a team with this young master here. " He lowered his voice and exclaimed the next statement in a single breath, before pausing at the last word and pressing on it.

We may even defeat that silver coloured division master which gave a tough time to our miss levi... together! "

" Oh! If I am not wrong you are supposed to have unlocked the laws of space right? " Mark gave a nod to her question.

Unlike other elements or laws, laws of space users are sensitive around with other such practitioners. Levi who has a mysterious background may had exposed to many such existences, beforehand, making her spot the space law around mark easily.

She hadn't paid much attention to mark before, but when he was making such bold claims earlier, she felt slight traces of spacial forces whirling around him.

Such traces are only found in the persons who had just unlocked their laws recently.

If mark was confident that he could beat that puppet easily, because he had unlocked the rare space law, he was thoroughly underestimating the puppet and was going to suffer utter defeat.

The pleasant composure on her face turned angry " Is this what you wanted to convey earlier by saying that I wouldn't necessarily regret? "

She gritted her teeth in anger and said " Say which all ability you had unlocked in the laws of space? Had you even unlocked one such thing? If you hadn't, don't make such bold claims, such as defeating a thing as that silver puppet before me! "

She gave a sigh, turning her head away from mark, holding her saber tightly, close to her bosoms as usual. She frowned her brows and reasoned " It's not that this levi is underestimating you, but your impulsiveness may lead you to an early death, marky!

You are still young, a genius which has yet to be ripened and shaped perfectly. Who knows, you may also become a pillar of support for our race in future! "

" Miss Levi! If it's about ability this mark also have some! " Mark exclaimed, looking at her plain back.

Levi who had frowned earlier had her eyes widened in surprise. She turned back immediately questioning " Can you repeat that statement again? "

She doubted her ears, had she heard him wrong or this mark had simply spouted some nonsense out his mouth.

It was known to her memories that every person who unlocks a law would simultaneously get an ability of they own, if they are lucky enough.

But the statement which mark exclaimed earlier had made her doubt her ears as he said he had some abilities, meaning it was more than one!

" Well... Miss Levi! If it's about ability then this mark also have some of his own! " Mark exclaimed again.

A person who wields more than one ability for a particular law were rare, even among the law users themselves, and such was the case for her.

Levi always believed herself to be special, now she encountered an another such existence, she was excited.

If the words exclaimed by mark were found true, then she would be more than delighted to make him her sworn companion, much less forming around a team with him temporarily.

" You said some earlier, does that mean you have more than one such ability in laws of space? " Levi asked in an excited manner, and mark could very well see the anxiety in her eyes, when she asked him earlier.

Some times actions speak louder than mere words, So mark decided to directly demonstrate his abilities before her, instead of verbally exclaiming out their names which was less interesting to her.

Whoosh!

Like a wind that leaves no traces of it's own, Mark disappeared from her sight abruptly, and appeared on her back without making a noise, like a ghost that taps it's fingers over a person's shoulders to scare it's victim.

" Ah! Isn't it the traversing ability! " Levi had came to know one of the ability mark had wielded for now, she had turned abruptly towards mark expecting to visualize the next ability that mark was gonna demonstrate before her.

Crack!

The plain looking shoulder guard, that levi welded on her left started producing few cracks on it's outer surface " Break! " which ultimately broke into pieces by the prolonged use of the ability "resonance!" which mark wielded.

Drop!

The outer robes of Levi on her left had started droping down, revealing her tight inner wearings, they were made up of pale blue fabric which was almost transparent to one's eyes, defining the boundaries and shape of her curvatures perfectly. The smooth and delicate skin which she had preserved from the eyes of others got exposed.

" Resonance? " Instead of anxiety, Levi's face was filled with anger and despise for mark.

If it was accidental, she might considered forgiving mark, but she was clearly able to see traces of blushing on white cheeks of mark.

The awkward face of mark, which had revealed the contents going through his mind, had made her wrongly judge his character to that of a mischievous child, who likes to play mature pranks on others.

She had shut her eyes tightly and placed her right arm over the left shoulder, in a reflex to cover her half exposed skin.

She swung her left arm in a wide swing, dashing her palm towards mark, to slap him under clear embarrassment.

Slap!

Mark who only wanted to demonstrate his ability, and had over done it on his second demonstration.

He had overused his ability "resonance" and mistakenly extended the scale of it's influence, beyond the shoulder guard of her, making her well defined smooth curves covered by thin fabric reveal outside.

The resonance though had been mastered by him, it had went little out of control earlier, putting him in a embarrassed condition before her.

Frowning about how to deal with this immediate situation, mark had forgotten to put his guard up, against her hard incoming slap, and recieves it head on over the right cheek of his, falling abruptly backwards over the floor, with a small stream of blood arching through his nostrils by the impact earlier.

As soon as he crashed on the floor, his small head bounced back few inches, with a spurt of blood coughing out his mouth simultaneously.

Levi who had realised that she had overly utilized her strength, has immediately took hold of her storage pouch and grabbed a healing pill in her palm from it. She tossed it over mark's mouth to let him recover gradually.

A minute from then.

" Mmm... " Mark had just woken after being unconscious. He was clearly able to sense a soft sensation that was cushioning his head along side his neck.

His cheek was still painful, but he wasn't able to find traces of any lingering injuries, that had resulted after being slapped by her earlier.

He knew well about the natural body of his, it wasn't capable enough to heal that injury in such a short amount of time, much less with a smooth skin that didn't even had a scratch to begin with. As if all he experienced earlier was just a mere illusion at best, the change had startled him thoroughly.

When his eyes had finally opened, wide enough to see his surroundings. He could see the worried face of Levi at close, the fabric on her left shoulder which was torn up by him earlier, seems perfectly fine with a shoulder guard that looked extremely similar to the one he broke before.

" Was that all a dream to begin with? But why does it feels so real to be fake! "

He found that the soft cushion earlier was levi's lap. Mark wasn't able to come up with an excuse to deal with.

" Miss Levi... sorry that I had half way exposed your chastity to the spectators on the above! " After getting up, mark apologized to Levi without a further ado.

" What exposing my chastity? I think you do not know the fuction of this resting point to begin with.

Only we, the testers could look at those spectators from inside. The spectators at above, or the arena's personnel at the outside or even the arena's faculty at the control center located below, are not able to peek through inside.

In other words, excluding us no one else could get the winds of the events occurred on the inside unless we revealed it to others verbally. "

" So all in all I didn't get into a major hassle this time around! And what's with this control centre thing? Are they some faculty that monitering our test from below? " Mark questioned to himself internally, though he wasn't able to find a correct answer for that term, he was at least able to guess that they aren't some thing which are known to general populace on the outside.

" So what exactly do you need me to do? Since you were the one who proposed this levi to form a team with you? "

Levi put up a question before mark. she wanted to know why mark had suddenly propose her to form a team with him.

Did he knew some holes, a way to beat the puppet, or was it just to make an attempt to fight those things, but this time in a team to begin with. Levi wanted to find out the exact reason for the proposal earlier.
