Decrease In Synchronization Percentage

With a cold gaze, the female elder walked closer to Tessa and gave her a tight slap, one that almost left her entire palm imprinted on her face.

"Just now you were acting like the bitch you are, say...what does he offer you?"

Tessa's eyes turned red and black lightning sizzled across her arm despite that, the female leader only snickered. "So what if you've managed to advance...you're just a kid who's still wet behind her ears!"

Another slap came and this time Flora reacted, her eyes turned white and she tried to drain the lady's life force but she could only do little before she suffered mana fatigue. Sure taking her life force gave her some mana but not enough to keep up with how much she was using and before long she couldn't even continue standing.

"You dare!!" the female elder shouted while looking pale. She was incensed over the fact of being injured by a kid. Before she could act though, Pel appeared all of a sudden.

"Did I act strange...I'm supposed to be his guardian so it shouldn't be weird that he was curious" Tulip was undecided as she debated inwardly whether to go back and clear things up.

"Oh fuck it...I already said I can't say anything so he should understand or maybe he misses his kind?" Tulip sighed and continued walking without realizing that her rant was seen and heard.

Crista wouldn't say that Tulip's place was bad to live as that was the first time being in such a grand place but her time with Pel had been shortened to nothing. Now she could only catch a glimpse of him without knowing how to approach.

Kingsley stared at her figure and sighed. "Is sneaking around really the best way to behave as a guest?"

Crista was startled and turned to him all flustered. "I wasn't..."

"I'm not really asking for an explanation...just know that big sis hates what you're doing right now and speak if you have problems no one would waste their time trying to understand your thought"

Crista bit her lips without saying anything, this situation was really embarrassing and defending herself would just make things worse.

Pel's brows creased after seeing Flora on the floor and Tessa glaring at the woman across them.

"Pel?" the three reacted while the lady tilted her head to him studying his appearance.

"It seems I have to act earlier than planned" Pel huffed. "I'm tired of all this, aren't you? I guess I did not make you guys shiver enough" his voice was deep and cold.

And the woman suddenly felt chilly and stared at Pel warily. She could tell he had not even advanced, then how the heck was he able to eliminate the principal and the instructors?

"Are you the person responsible?"

Pel ignored her and turned to Tessa, Flora and Adam. "You should stay away for now"

He then cloned himself and instead of skills he assigned them abilities and his face turned pale since that was more strenuous than assigning skills.

"Ito emergency healing"

[Affirmative]

"What is he doing?" the female elder muttered with a confused expression. They could only see six Pels while one was tapping away at nothing and talking to himself.

'Is this some sort of prank, I still can't believe this teenager is responsible for causing so much havoc'

Pel then raised his head and said. "You guys go around and don't kill if not necessary but I want their population dwindled so they never think of crossing me"

He then summoned Taxao. "Go with them"

"But I want to stay with master" Taxao whined.

"Be good" Pel said as the exhaustion was still with him.

"Do you think I'm invisible!" the female elder asked, fury building up in her chest.

Pel still ignored her. "You guys go" only then did he turn to her and stared coldly. "As I said, I'm tired so...I won't leave a loose end and hopefully the ones spared won't make the same foolish mistake you have made"

While the others for ready for a confrontation between the two, Ito observed Pel's status with worry.

[Your synchronization with your body has decreased to 25%]

'So...'

[That is why you're feeling extra tired, your soul is rejecting your body even a 1% decrease would cause severe consequences but the decrease is far worst with 7%]

Emotions, Pel could feel them in Ito's voice. Perhaps he decided to stop masking them but that was... there was something weird he could not understand but now was not the time to think since headache was starting to assault him and one of the Awakeners was starting to make his move.

'Show me her abilities'

[Affirmative]

[Celina Telon]

[Ability: Runic Specialist(Flames)—Requires physical contact with others to insert Rune on the skin of the opponent. Fire cannot be snuffed by ordinary means and only with enough mana can one resist]

'Why does such a strange ability even exist?' Pel inwardly sighed. He definitely could not let her move freely so while avoiding the Awakener that was making his life difficult he used Telekinesis to trap Celina understand a disorganized and somewhat ugly combination of furniture.

That was enough to keep her for a moment and that moment was what he needed to deal with the two Awakeners.

The first was an Ice Elementalist while the latter had a reinforcement ability that made him 10X stronger with enhanced muscles and bones also as non of them were Variants, their mana capacity wasn't the best so they couldn't use their abilities at will.

The first kept assaulting Pel with use shards wherever he saw a chance but Pel avoided them with no trouble at all.

After equipping his Retro Blade, the first slash drew quite a bit of blood from the Ice Elemetalist but the latter froze the injury in order to stop the bleeding.

The attack caused him to be weary and Pel did not waste time on him before dashing to the next who had just activated his ability causing his build to increase.

"I have no time for this..." Pel then retracted the blade.

ROCK PUNCH!!

He did not expect the effect either as the Awakener spat blood and reverted to his normal size only to fall to the ground.

'Rock Punch is indeed a skill that affects the insides' Pel mused but the next moment the piled-up couches and tables were blasted away and a furious Celina emerged.

"I will kill you!"

"If you can" Pel scoffed and shot five decay needles toward the Ice Elementalist who was eliminated right away with his eyes wide open.

'Did you seal off notifications?'

[Yes]

'Have I leveled up then?'

[...]

[There are not enough experience points]

'There was no quest?'

[There wasn't]

'...' Pel did not even want to reign in his thoughts lest he got angry again so he instead directed his gaze at the fuming lady. "Now what shall I do with you?"
