Silence was all that was present on the battle stage after the AI declaration as all the students couldn't believe a student like them was able to handle three of his peers without using a single ability or battle technique.The referee himself was shocked at the fight as this was the most surprising fight he has ever seen before.
No sign of struggle from his opponent at all,as they were all immediately wrecked by him.Most of the staff members watching the fight weren't really surprised as they attributed his strength to his teacher,the battle king.
"I guess that's job done, don't you'll think."Vather said as the whole crowd immediately erupted into deafening cheers.
All the girls screamed his name in adoration as all the boys looked at him, wanting to be him.
In a cultivation world like this, girls don't need some crying,shy and non-confident dummy.
A handsome young man with beautiful golden red hair.A strong muscular body, powerful unrivaled strength and a calmness and steadiness like that of a gentleman.What more did they need?.
Vather looked around the arena from the battle as he slowly clenched his fist and raised it into the air.Another round of deafening cheers immediately erupted as he was giving kisses and gaze of jealousy by the crowd.He was still 17,he should still enjoy himself when he can.This what he obtained with his strength,blood and sweat.He obtained it because he deserved it.
Vather gazed roamed around the arena waving to his new half a thousand fans when suddenly he saw something that made his eyes constrict.The air around three of the empty seats at a corner was continuously quivering even though there was nothing present in there.
He immediately used the Eye of Infinity as a circular rune appeared in his eyes,but was covered by the blindfold as he saw three hooded figure.Even though they were only sitting and doing nothing,Vather felt all his cells in his body screaming to him of danger.Not even his teacher the battle king give him the feeling while just sitting down.
His eyes pierced through the robes but all he could see was darkness behind the robes,there was no face at all.A formless wave emanated from one of them sitting at the right side as it moved towards Vather with speed.It was a formless powerful wave of energy that he knew will immediately rip him into pieces but strangely it passed through the others without harming them even a little.
Vather eyes narrowed as he vibrated all his bones and cells with speed as he saw the wave were about 10 metres away from him.
Powerful wave of energy emanated from Vather like a tsunami slamming on the incoming wave as the incoming waves were immediately blasted into nothing.
Formless waves was as a result of a being's higher life rating.A person at the core formation stage will definitely radiate an higher life rating than a person at the body condensation level.Life rating between those of the same stage might also be different,like a person at a bloodline of the 3rd layer compared to a person at the 1st layer.
While Vather might be weaker than this person.His life rating was definitely unmatched as he had three bloodlines attached to him,with the lowest at the 3rd stage.The natural pressure of awakening his Guardians of Infinity bloodline also leaded to an increase in the natural pressure he emanated as his formless waves immediately tore through the others formless wave,like a hot knife through butter.
But Vather's pupils constricted as a murderous aura emanated from his being.if he was a little weaker,then he would have been ripped to gore by the waves.A person with the audacity to kill a student in the military.
His eyes stared back at the trio,but they already disappeared into thin air.It was as if nothing ever happened in the first place as everything returned to normal.His new fans were still cheering his name as Vather waved one last time and headed out of the arena.His watch suddenly beeped as a notification appeared.
"You have been awarded+30 points"
Since he was challenged by the trio for his home,then ten Points would also be deducted from their accounts and given to him.This might act like compensation of being disturbed of some sort.
Vather gave a nod as he had successfully killed two birds with one stone.He was able to check out how much improved his physical strength was and also earn free points along the way,while also gaining a fan base.Maybe even three birds with one stone.
A notification suddenly appeared on the watch
"You have been summoned by the Battle King."
"Do you accept"
[Yes] [No]
Vather clicked the yes button as he headed to the training hall.It's really been sometimes since he had visited that old man last.
-- -- --
Vather arrived before the familiar dojo like structure as he entered into the place.A weird expression appeared on his face as he stared at what the old foggy was doing.
"You really went bad ass with the fight didn't you.The pocketing and gentleman vibes.Tch,tch.You sure are a show off kid."
An holographic image of the battle was present in the dojo.On it was the video of his fights with the trios.
"I never knew the video will even be recorded..."
"Everything is recorded in the military kid, EVERYTHING"The old man said alighting that last word very well for him.
"But you did well,you should be at least able to do this much, being my disciple.Good but not Excellent."the old man said with a hand on his chin as as if in deep thoughts.
Vather snorted as he moved towards one of the futon.
"And what didn't I do well,Old man"
"You pocketed your hands and use your legs for the most of the fight.But you used the hands sometimes in the fight.Being the disciple of the battle king that uses his legs in fights.A little disgraceful using your hands, don't you think"
"I'm not a leg person" Vather said as he pocketed his hands in the battle all just for the sake of coolness.He never uses his legs in most of his battles,his hands were much better and easy to control.
"You know kid,my favourite quotes are the legs create twice the hand's damage.But that's not why I called you here.You have garnered the attention of the higher-ups with your performance,as there is no doubt although you're a first year,you have the combat power of a late 2nd year.Leaving you among the 1st year, you'll just rot and limit your potential.Puting you among the 2nd years and all the students will complain of the law in the military broken.So since they don't want you to rot away or limit your talent as that is what they need in the war right now.You've been chosen among a secret group meant to embark on a secret mission."
"A secret mission as a first year,woah, I'm I that talented?"Vather said as a smirk appeared on his face.
"Tch, talented my foot.Know it will start in two weeks or so..so use all this chance to get prepared,ok?.Right now you're probably the weakest among the group."The old man said with a dead pan expression which Vather know to interpret as the man being honest.
'A mission where an early core formation stage like me is the weakest among the group.I wonder just how important the mission is.'Vather thought to himself as his eyebrows furrowed.
"So prepare well kiddo,and give me a few visits sometimes,you still have many to learn from someone named the Battle King you know."
"I definitely will old man,and one more thing"
Vather narrated his encounter with the three dark robed individuals as a serious expression appeared on the man's face before it slowly turned grave,when he heard Vather exchanging moves with them.
The man slowly took a deep breath in while staring at Vather.
"Just know Vather.There are some groups in this world that are beyond the Military."the man said as he slowly closed his eyes and started breathing in that strange rhythm again.
Vather stared at the back of the old man as he muttered to himself
'Beyond the Military'.He slowly bowed to the man as he headed out of the dojo.
"Are they finally making their moves."the man muttered as his voice reverberated in the entire dojo.But Vather was already long gone.
