CHAPTER 7

Jonathan was stunned to the bone when he saw the system message. He had no idea that his unique skill would also work on the things he would be putting on. 

He thought his unique skill was about his progression, and for anything he gave out, but it seemed whatever he held and whatever he put on would automatically become ten times better than it should be.

Jonathan couldn't help but smile brightly when he came to that conclusion. 

The ability to make any weapon or item ten times better than its original form was definitely something unheard of in this world. A powerful skill that only he could do, this gave Jonathan a sudden joy in his heart, he felt he was ready for the challenge now. He was ready to change Dreamway's future and the destiny of the world as well.

Exactly two minutes, Greyson entered with his own energy powering uniform. 

His uniform was different from the ones Jonathan and the rest of the martial artists were putting on. With one glance Jonathan could tell that Grayson's uniform was more powerful than theirs, and it only made his cheeks grow bigger.

Greyson stopped at the entrance of the doorway. Noticing everyone's eyes were on his uniform, he straightened up and sounded bold.

"You would get this uniform only when you have performed excellently for your country. As for now, you are unworthy enough to put on a uniform like this, meanwhile you can see yourself putting it on someday."

Greyson uniform wasn't the only thing that captured everyone's attention, Greyson longsword which was reaching to his shoulders also caught everyone's attention.

It confirmed that Greyson awakened the swordsmanship ability, that was only new to Jonathan, the rest already knew that Greyson ability was swordsmanship. 

If Greyson had awakened the element control ability he would've been the commander of the base, he had more experience than Charles. 

He was older after all so that was bound to be the case.

"If you could perform extremely well today, save as many lives as possible, I will personally request this suit from the headquarters and hand it over to you. So you better give this fight your all. Like it would be the last time you would ever throw your fist!"

All the men straightened and saluted at once.

"Yes Sir!"

With that, they headed to the military garage and sped up to the battlefield with some energy powering military cars.

The cars had the ability to ride on the ground or fly in the air, but it couldn't go as high as an aeroplane, it could only go five meters above the ground.

To everyone it was nothing, but to Jonathan, he almost choked his heart out seeing the cars in this world could fly.

This world not only had magic but superior technology as well.

They arrived at the battlefield and everyone came down from the cars. 

Horror was written boldly on everyone's faces, especially Jonathan. The whole place was messed up. Several buildings were halfway collapsed to the ground, with blood all over the ground surface.

It was as if a missile was thrown into the particular area they were standing on, but that wasn't the case because everyone could see what caused the place to be in a messed up state. It was some giant rats! 

Giant in Jonathan's eyes, but not for everyone's view.

"A Summoner."

Greyson muttered to himself as he held the handle of his longsword tight. The giant rats didn't notice them, they were busy destroying the buildings more, and it only made Greyson and the faces of everyone darkened.

Greyson used his sword to point at one of the giant rats.

"Stay on your ground everyone. I will show you how it's done!"

With that, Greyson immediately launched forward to the rat. His motion stunned Jonathan to the bone, he was so fast in Jonathan's eyes, he wondered if he would be able to ever move that fast.

Greyson appeared close to the rat and instantly slashed the rat into two with one attack.

This motion stunned everyone to the bone, especially Jonathan. He didn't expect a giant rat like this to easily be slashed into two with one attack.

It was a magical world after all.

Greyson's flashy attack caused all the giant rats in the scene to look in his direction. 

Greyson didn't panic nor show any sign of withdrawing back, he simply took his fighting stance, by taking his longsword to rest on his right shoulder.

Immediately Greyson took his stance, all the giant rats rushed to him.

"Instructor!!"

Jonathan wanted to rush forward to assist Greyson, but to his greatest surprise Greyson simply muttered to himself.

"Rank E: Longsword Slash!"

"Level; 3"

He struck his longsword once and all the giant rats heading his way all shattered to pieces.

Blood instantly came raining down like it was really raining.

Jonathan was stupefied on his spot.

'What the hell was that.'

He didn't know how to explain what he just saw. Simply phenomenal! 

There was more to this world that he hadn't known yet, Charles merely explained the basics, there was more he needed to find out before he could start plotting his treason against the government.

Greyson's attack drew the presence of more giant rats who were lurking around the far away premises.

He moved his longsword to point at the incoming giant rats and roared.

"Push forward!!!!"

Everyone started running to engage the giant rats. Jonathan also joined the race. He was ready to see what his fist could do. Immediately he started running, he ran faster than all his comrades, and in a few minutes he was already standing inches away from Greyson who was also running to attack the incoming rats. Greyson was surprised to see Jonathan fast movements, but he only smiled afterwards.

Upon reaching one of the giant rats, Greyson swung his longsword again and it cut through the rats once more. 

Jonathan was immediately attacked by one of the rats. The rat opened its mouth wide to devour Jonathan, but Jonathan easily escaped and sent a powerful kick to the head of the rat.

The kick sent the rat collapsing to the ground. Jonathan cheeks moved seeing the destructive power from his kick. He thought he wouldn't be able to do any damage, surely he couldn't compare himself to Greyson just yet, but seeing what his kick did, he was fascinated by it. 

It was all thanks to his ten times improved uniform though, his pace and attack was better than the rest.

The rat struggled to his feet again and roared.

"Kkkieeeekkkk!"

It wanted to attack Jonathan again, but Jonathan quickly stepped closer to it and smashed his fist on the rat's jaw.

DOOM!

The rat collapsed to the ground once more, but it still wasn't over. Jonathan's expression darkened seeing two of his attacks still couldn't get the job done, when Greyson was killing a dozen of them with a single attack.

As the rat collapsed to the ground once more, Jonathan squeezed his fist hard and slammed it on the rat forehead.

"What would it take to bring you down!"

Jonathan fist made contact with the rat forehead and its head was immediately flung away from its body.

His lips formed a half smile at that moment and he straightened up.

Greyson couldn't help but smile brightly seeing What Jonathan had just accomplished. He was definitely right about the kid being a strange one.

He was born to fight!

Greyson looked at the rest of the martial artists that were already engaging the rats. They shared themselves into five against one rat and were still having a hard time bringing the rat down. This made Greyson think more highly of Jonathan. Jonathan hadn't awakened any skill yet, he had not even made any progress on his magical path, yet he could single-handedly defeat an F-rank monster with three hits.

That wasn't something a start up ability user could do, regardless of the ability they awakened.

"Commander Greyson, do you respond? Commander Greyson, do you respond?. This is your superior Charles Wesley speaking. Do you copy!"

Greyson answered the call by tapping his ear twice with his middle finger.

"Copy Sir!"
