Mid-Level Unity, Increased In Strength

Some time had passed. Now, White had some understanding regarding the retakers for the first trial and the second.

According to Greenleaf, the people who had failed the second trial; meaning people who couldn't bring their Unity to 30% would also be given a chance again next year.

Like in the first trial, as long as one age didn't exceed eighteen years of age, they would be allowed to come again to The Boundaries when the time for the retakers to join the trial had come. But unlike the retakers from the first trial, they come with the previous Unity they achieved, intact!

This information surprised him and he couldn't help but have some concerns regarding them joining the same trial.

He also learned something about the first trial.

Although the trial is divided into the first trial and the second, for them, people from the mainland didn't consider the first trial to be a trial, instead they considered the second trial to be the first trial and the true trial.

According to her, it was due to the fact that, there was not a single person on the mainland who failed the first trial due to the environment they came from and that the first trial was mainly for the people from the Desolate Plane.

White nodded, the environment of the mainland and the Desolate Plane must be very different as the former was a place where masters lived and exposed all kinds of things while the latter was a place where most mortal thrived.

Knowing all this, he sighed with a little relief, he didn't plan on taking care of that girl after this trial.

He knew what it meant for the powerless to live in a land that was ruled by it.

'At least she will have the next three years to retake the trial, although with slight disadvantages.'

While in thought, Golden returned with the two that fled. There was some blood and bruises on their body and their eyes showed fear mixed with despair, from this, it was clear that the miseries they received weren't small from the girl and now, they were as obedient and docile as a puppy.

As soon as she arrived, she looked at the lone girl standing alone,

 "You are Jade?"

Different from what others expected. The lone girl named Jade smiled, her emerald eyes smiling brightly, and replaying, "Yes."

Nodding she said, "You can go, this spot is already taken."

All the people were slightly surprised, they didn't expect her to release the person.

Jade was also slightly surprised, she was planning on joining their group voluntarily but she didn't expect to be released. She looks carefully at the unseen figure under the hood before walking some steps to the back of the group.

She didn't have any group and wanted to follow them upon knowing that a girl seemed to be leading the group, but she didn't immediately express her thoughts, instead, she would observe for some time and wait for them to finish.

White had talked with Golden, there were approximately about 53 primal seeds here, so they divided 25 each, and also for the first time she gave the remaining 3 primal seeds to the supposedly brother of her; Frez. 

Words weren't enough to describe the happiness he felt and how he had thanked the sister of his. White really couldn't guess what kind of normal sibling they were, but thinking of the crazy girl, there wasn't a normal that would want to be involved with her.

White gave 4 primal seeds to Aizu, which she was also thrilled about, and absorbed the remaining 21 seeds. In about twenty minutes he finished absorbing and went from his Unity of 33% to a total of 52%!

Originally it was supposed to be 54%, he thought, 'It really does require two-fold of the number of primal seeds once you reach the mid-level Unity. Not to mention,' 

White stood up, different from his previous state, now he could feel every fiber of his muscles throughout his body, and his sense and perspective had increased by a huge margin. Now he knew how Golden managed to spot people easily in the distance.

And this was not all, the thing that made him happy and surprised the most was the increase in his strength!

White clenched his fists tightly and felt the power behind his fist before he could with difficulty crush a dried tree bark but now, he felt he could even crush a normal fist-size stone!

'Such drastic increase.' Only now did he know that Golden had held back her strength, during their confrontation. But unlike normal people who would be somewhat, if not a little disheartened by the realization, he remains undisturbed not thinking anything of it. The girl was unordinary and he knew it very well.

"Reached mid-level?" Golden, who had finished before him was not far and asked him. She had an expression that said she knew but still asked.

"Yes, it really surprised me," White answered feeling the changes in his body. Apart from the increase in his physical strength, he could clearly feel the primal energy around him more vividly than before! 

Before his ability to sense primal energy was like a blind man trying to press the remote of a television; although he couldn't see the specific information, you could still press the bottom. 

But now, it was as if the blind man had gained his eyesight! 

White could feel the primal energy through his skin. It was everywhere and abundant, unlike before when he could somehow feel it through his fingers after trying very hard.

'If this the case then…' 

A thought came through his mind but the moment it emerged, he immediately hid the thoughts into his mind. But for an instant at that moment, the primal energy around him shuddered terrifyingly to the point an actual sound was about to emerge for it.

During this period, White remained silent and his face didn't change much, but the right corner of his mouth raised slightly, his thought unknown.

'Finally, something interesting has happened.' 

The others who were paying attention to him after his advancement to the mid-level Unity, including Golden didn't notice anything out of the ordinary except for feeling more imposing to the people who knew his ability.

The three new people on the premises of course didn't notice anything now, but in the beginning, the scene of Golden and White absorbing the primal seeds made them flabbergasted with their talents and made each of them though of different things. Later, some friendly Golden slave explained some things that made them understand.

The two with the emblem of the old mirror felt uncertain about their future and even if they wanted to escape before, they couldn't now, or else a poison will kill them within a few days.

"We shall set out now," while White was in his own thought, Golden announced.

While preparing to head out, the lone girl; Jade, who was in the distance approached Golden who was alone, 

"Fellow friend, would it be alright if I joined your group?"

"Why?" Golden didn't turn to her and asked, there seemed to be some meaning hidden in her words.

Jade remained silent for some time, "Honestly, I don't think I can find a group better than yours in this trial."

"And if you are gonna ask about my Family's group well, they are on their way to eliminate me."

Golden turned slightly and remained silent under her hood as though she seemed to be thinking, 

"Well, come if you think you can handle the hurdle, because in this group, only one may survive the coming battle," saying, she started walking toward the group to be on their way.

"As expected from the Ruthless Princess." Jade slowly said in a barely audible voice for her and herself to hear. 

Golden didn't say anything and went her way with Jade slowly following behind her.

White who was conversing with Aizu near the group mouth twitched, 'Ruthless Princess…'

He didn't know if it was normal but he could hear their weird conversation in the distance vaguely after reaching the mid-level Unity. He has a feeling that they slightly know of each other as Jade indicates Golden as some Ruthless Princess.

But White didn't care nor did he pursue it. He was somewhat wary of these mysterious characters with some important background who kept popping out of nowhere, but now, his worries ness had dissipated slightly because, as of now, he finally may have a thing he could call a trump card of his own!

With an indifferent expression, he followed the group to what may be the hellish battle that would ensue.
