Ability Tests

Yesterday after meeting with the weirdos of the Church, we were asked to demonstrate our abilities. Ms. Aiko went first. Her abilities were extremely versatile and useful for farming. From auto-harvest to fertilizer manufacturing, she has all the abilities someone would need to create the best variety of food materials. The whole day was used on trying out the different abilities of her.

Today they would check out my own abilities. Ms. Aiko said that she will stay and wait for me. I was currently standing on a large field owned by the Church. Beside the field a few people were watching the process. Among them were many knights, church officials, priests and priestesses and even Ms. Aiko.

After a few minutes a man stood infront of him and asked him to demonstrate his powers. I tried to do what Sirin did when she was the second Herscherr.

The first I tried was the portal ability. I try to think about it. I imagine two places being connected, and immediately infront of me two portals opens up. I ask the man to throw something to the portal. He immediately creates a fireball with magic and releases it towards the portal. Couldn't you just throw a fucking rock?! The fireball passed through one portal and exited through the other.

Next I tried to create the Void Lances. I will for them to appear and immediately beside me three large white lances materialise. The man asks me to shoot a lance towards a large boulder present nearby. I release the lance and it instantly passes through the rock and creates a huge hole in the rock.

Next I tried the Void Barriers. I ask the man to hit me with magic. He throws a fireball towards my direction and it doesn't even scratch the barrier.

Then I tried my favourite ability. The ethereal hands made from void. I will for them to appear and immediately two huge portals appeared out of which emerged two completely white hands each as large as a tree. I mentally commanded them to give the bird to the priest and they followed. Nice...

I dismissed that ability and told them that was all I could do for now. They asked me to use my Creation ability but I replied that I need to know everything there is about the object to recreate it.

I didn't show all of my abilities because I still don't trust the Church. Though I can escape easily even without creating portals I still want to keep most of my abilities hidden.

Seeing that there is nothing else to test they let me go. Suddenly Ms. Aiko appeared right in front of me and started reprimanding me, "König-Kun, you know swearing is bad right? Similarly, showing signs whi-" But she was interrupted by a knight who had entered the fields. The knight was completely exhausted but still spoke to Ms. Aiko, "Ma'am, one of your students has died."

It has been nearly a day since I had got the message of Nagumo dying. Ms. Aiko after hearing that had left immediately for the dungeon where they had went to grow stronger.

I had stayed behind in the Church. Today, I am supposed to go to the place where we were living in to attend a symbolic funeral to Nagumo, because they couldn't find his corpse.

Instead of Japanese style funeral, they are going to host it by this world's customs. I enter the place where they are going to be holding his funeral. I looked towards the others and see that most of them were sad and traumatised by the fact that someone could actually die.

I nonchalantly watch the whole process. After it was over, I was about to go out if the venue when suddenly someone grabbed my shoulders. I look around and see it was the 'Hero' Kouki Amanogawa. He looked at me strangely and asked, "Aren't you sad that someone died? I even heard you clicking your tongue when the process was taking too long."

What is he trying to achieve by questioning me like this? Well, I don't want to play any kind of mind games with him so I should make it clear.

"No, I don't feel sad."

"""What?!"" Many of our classmates heard our conversation and was exclaimed by my declaration.

"How cou-" Before Amanogawa could accuse me of something I quickly grab his neck and stare directly into his eyes while speaking, "Before, you try to say anything. Let me make something very clear, I don't want to play some kind of mind game with you. You are trying to make me seem like the evil outsider in your group, but let me tell you two things. One, I don't care about your little group of ass-kissers and secondly, should I remind you who was the one who volunteered in saving this world? What did you think, that going to a war is a very heroic thing? No it is not. Now, seeing you all the others followed you. So if any kind of death occurs within this group it will be on you." I then pressing on his neck."Understood? IT. WILL. BE. ON. YOU."

I release him and start walking towards my room.

When it was nearly midnight. I opened the windows to my room and jumped off. My room was on the third-story. But before my feet could touch the ground I started levitating a few inches off of the ground. After moving a few metres away from our residence, I dispelled the power and created a portal that leads to the Dungeon.

When he reached the dungeon, he used his Creation ability to create a few guns that were used by Anti-Entropy operatives for stealth missions. I discovered this ability after the first time I tried to use Creation. I realised that I can create everything that had been created or owned by Anti-Entropy during the time that Welt Yang was the Director.

Though I can create the mechs, but it will only be the weakest model and I have a lot more power than those mechs.

The guns that I created looks a lot like Judgement of Shamash, because they are similar to the original. It was the result of an experimental project undertaken by Anti-Entropy to create a fake Divine Key. And though the project was not completely successful, it was able to produce some really powerful weapons. Though this fake Judgement of Shamash cannot erase entire cities with a single blow at full power like the original, this one can atleast burn down a large building at full power. But this one cannot turn into the large cleaver sword like the original. But that is more than enough to kill a few weak monsters from the dungeon.

Though it might seem pointless to use guns when I have my Herscherr powers but the goal for today is to improve my battle senses and to increase my level. If I were to use my Herscherr powers then I could just bulldoze through the whole dungeon without learning a single thing.

I use Creation to create a black vest and black trousers. I tuck the trousers into my tall boots and wear a long overcoat. I roll up my sleeves and I am ready to go in.

(AN: I might not have said this but I imagine the MC to look like a young Kevin Kaslana. A little shorter and a little younger than the original one)

After I enter the dungeon I look around a little and find my first target. A pack of large dog like creatures. I enter into a combat stance while pointing my guns towards the dog. A dog bends down and then jumps towards my face. When the dog was only about a few inches away from my face I move my head to the side and then bang the handles if my gun onti the head of the dog. The dog falls down on the ground a little disoriented but before it could collect it's bearing I shoot it in the head.

I look towards a pathway if the dungeon and see nearly 20 dog-like creatures coming out from the darkness.

"*sigh* It's grinding time..."
