Chapter 5: The Secret

Harry's face left him shocked when Ash told him that he is the White Lord. He grabbed Ash's shoulder and he's looking at him with sparkling eyes.

"Are you really him!"

"Haha, yes I am White Lord"

"Man I can't believe I met the only person who destroyed me in a FPS game."

Ash feels shy towards him when Harry is complimenting him. Harry changed his face into a serious face, remembering what Ash did.

"Hey ash, how are you able to block my attacks and how did you put your mana on your knife?! It doesn't make any sense."

"It's actually easy."

"Huh? Really"

"If you wanna know the secret, let's talk somewhere private."

Ash and Harry leave the WRS and head towards Ash's room. Harry sat on Ash's bed while ash was subconsciously looking at the window.

"Is this really that private?"

"Am.. no.."

"Then why do you wanna talk about this in private."

"Sigh* here's the thing Harry, remember those guys bullied you?"

"Am yeah? How would I forget about that, it's really irritating!"

"If some people learn those tricks, they might be used in evil acts. They maybe look dumb, but everyone's here are smarter than you think."

Harry bowing his head on the floor and becomes silent knowing that Ash has a point and he is right.

"That's why I want it to talk to you in private, though they might learn it soon. But it's better not sooner."

Harry nodded his head and looked at Ash's face with a serious face.

"Okay, I get it, and I think you're right. But how did you do it? How did you block my attacks, and then unleash those blue auras then able to slice me up?"

"Okay, okay, i will tell you. The reasons why I'm able to block you cause I'm just fast."

"What?! Can you explain it to me more precisely?"

Harry was so confused about how his speed has abled to block him.

"You see, I am so fast right now that I am able to out run all sports cars that ever existed right now. I already calculated the weight that you swing and I just deflect it with the same weight that you swing it."

"... how did you know the weight of the Axe? You didn't even touch it."

"Because it's the grip of your hands, I can estimated weight of a certain thing just looking at the blood of the palm of a person. When it's really light the blood still remain pinkish or redish, but when it's really heavy, the blood will turn white and pale."

Harry was so amazed of Ash of how amazing Ash is.

"Okay… then how did you make your weapon shine? Like I'm really curious, no matter how I think, I really can't figure it out."

" I think it's really complicated, you see that hole in my bathroom's door? That's the result of one of my experiments last night."

"Oh that's why there's a hole in it.. I thought it was just a design."

"... moving on. Last night, I was sweating a lot. I feel my body gonna burst any time soon. When I drank some water last night, the glass started to glow and it blew up, luckily I was able to dodge it."

"Why are sweating last night and what's the connection of that being able to use your mana on a weapon"

Ash sat down on the floor, crossed his two arms together and he looked at Harry's face and smirked.

"I think my body can't handle the mana I possess. That's why I'm sweating a lot cause my mana is so potent that it almost blows my body. That's why I figured out that if you focus your mana on certain things, you can actually manipulate your mana."

"Huh? How much mana do you have?"

"10 million."

"What?!"

Harry was shocked again when Ash possessed a huge amount of mana.

"Hold on, why?"

"Cause I already have a maximum Intelligence."

"What really?"

"Yup. Lemme show it to you."

Ash opened his status and show it to Harry

"Agility.. Intelligence 999?! These stats are crazy!"

"Hahaha, right?"

"Hold up, why did you already maxed your intelligence?"

"When you were on level one, how much points do you have in your strength?"

"Am 43 i think?"

"Well i have 63 points."

Harry suddenly gets why Ash has bigger status points than him.

"So that means."

"Yes, after we were transferred here. The strength, agility, intelligence that we possess was converted into statistical numbers. Maybe some people have 100+ strength of their level 1 while others have only 20 or 30."

"So it means you are already that smart and maxed your intelligence?!"

"Haha."

Ash dodge that question and proceed how did he release his mana and able to manipulate it freely.

"Can you hold this pen and point it out on that hole."

"Okay."

"All you have to do I just close your eyes and feel the bloodstream of your body. After you do that you can slowly feel that there's a weird air surrounding you."

Harry was releasing some green aura from his body

"Oh yeah i can feel it, then what's next?"

"Try to manipulate those air and focus it in the tip of the pen"

The green aura from his body was slowly fading and the tip of the pen are starting to glow into a green light.

"Now open your eyes."

"Wow! I really did it, I'm a genius! Haha so this is how my mana looks when it's focused on a certain thing."

Harry was mesmerised by how he did that and couldn't stop smiling seeing his efforts were worth it.

"But how did you make it big? This is too small, it's just like the pen size was doubled, unlike yours it looks like it was thousands of bigger than the original size."

"It is because I possess a lot more mana than you."

"Oh, yeah right…"

Harry was so disappointed when Ash told him that he possesses mana more than him.

"Silly, don't be disappointed at it, from now on you put all your status points in your intelligence."

"Hhmm I wonder I will get smarter if I put all my Status points in my intelligence."

"I think you will not, cause when I put all of my Status points in my agility, my body didn't change at all, the size of my muscle is still the same. There's no changes in my body at all. I think the points will just increase and our body will just react to the accuracy of the points we gained."

Harry looked at Ash's face as the hope of this game.

"You know what Ash, you can't surprise me anymore. No matter what questions I've asked, you can answer it with great explanation. I think I should go back to my room, it's getting darker now, I don't wanna be eaten by hungry wolves you know."

"Haha okay bye, be careful on your way."

Before Harry goes out, Ash grabbed his hand and look at him in the face with serious look.

"Don't tell anyone about this okay?"

"Okay I will not."

Harry goes back into the house room while Ash is laying in his bed.

"I wonder if I work out right now my stats will be increased or not?"
