5 Unique skill - 'Touching nose with tongue'
Arjun quickly turned his head to Sri Ram to check if he heard the phone. Sri Ram didn't seem to noticed any sound as he kept on talking and talking without even caring whether Arjun was paying attention to him or not.
Arjun sighed in relief as he confirmed his earlier speculations. The mysterious phone is indeed invisible to everyone else but him.
He quietly took out the phone; The screen was lit up and there was a purple golden-coloured chest box and some text below the chest.
[
Congratulations! You have received an SSR grade treasure chest.
Save / Open

SSR grade treasure chest? something that related to SSR grade skills? probably a chance to upgrade a skill to SSR grade? or may be a legendary item?, as he thought about, Arjun heart rate sped up.
He couldn't wait any longer and since the mysterious phone is invincible to others, he chose the 'Open' option without any hesitation.
The treasure chest opened with some exaggerated animation effects; a notification appeared on the screen.
[
Congratulations! you have received a unique skill.
]
With these words, Arjun's expectation and excitement rose by another level. Earlier since the unique skill slot was empty, he ignored it. But now he got one, he couldn't ignore it anymore. After all, just the word 'Unique' alone is enough to raise one's expectations.
But when Arjun saw the name of the skill and it's description, he felt like he was hit by a bucket of cold water.

Unique Skill
Touching Nose with Tongue: You are the only one in this world who can touch your tip of the nose with your tongue without touching lips and philtrum.
]
Touching nose with tongue? after some practice, many people can do that. But touching the tip of nose with tongue without touching lips and philtrum is indeed impossible. This skill really is unique. But... what the f*ck is this? what's the use of having such 'unique' skill? is this what an SSR treasure should have?... Indeed, something that was given for free can't be trusted. Arjun quickly put the phone in his pocket and kept on walking indifferently.
Sri Ram found something was amiss. Turning around, he saw Arjun's blackened expression. He was about ask 'what's wrong?' but he suddenly felt a glare on his nose and lips. A chill went down his spine. He quickly turned around and sped up his pace.
.....
The university's area was around 500 acres i.e.. approximately 2 square kilo meters. surrounding by huge walls. Unlike hostel apartments and academic blocks which were at the middle of the university area, the auditorium was at the outer edges, just a hudred or 150 meters away from the entrance. So the pair quickly arrived at auditorium and walked in.
The inner look of the auditorium was like a mini version of rectangular foot ball stadium with closed at top. Though it was huge, there were no more than 150 people inside. They were scattered across the place in groups and doing something of their own. Some dancing, some singing, some were acting... except for those who are cheering their friends, most of them were practing for auditions.
After looking around for a while, Arjun and Sri ram finally found the guy they were searching for at the centre of the auditorium. The guy had a normal face but he was tall and muscular; sharp abs, eye chatching six packs, well shaped muscles, that guy had a good figure. That was their friend, Pranav.
Sri Ram knitted his eye brows as he felt something was off. his friend, Pranav looked enraged and anxious. He seemed to be arguing with someone. When he saw the other person's face, his expression changed. The other guy was their ex-student council president, Johan Raushan, the guy who was also incharge of this year's Spirit Reward Fest's auditions. Most importantly, their mortal enemy. So without any hesitation, he lunged forward.
Arjun also noticed the situation and decided to follow along. Since he became the Arjun of this world, there is no reason for him to not to accept his friends and their personalities also to his liking.
Some students noticed their arrival and started murmuring among themselves. Soon the commotion spread until all the hundred or so students stopped whatever they were doing and started observing them.
The trio was very famous among the students. It's not because of their talents or grades, but because of their peculiarity.
The three of them were called 'The three princes'. First the ugly prince Pranav, muscular body but gentle personality; second the fiery prince Sri Ram, cute appearance and fiery temper; lastly the delicate prince Arjun, extremely handsome but weak and delicate body. With three of them together, they indeed make a peculiar combination.
Pranav and Johan Raushan also noticed their arrival. While Pranav's face eased up a little, Johan Raushan smirked disdainfully "You guys are finally here. Please persuade your friend to leave the stage. He is disturbing the auditions."
Sri Ram had the urge to smash Johan's smiling face. Trying to suppress it, he asked camly "How is he disturbing the auditions? He was just here to particate."
Johan laughed sarcastically at his words "Participate? hahahaha... stop joking. Spirit Award Fest is an important event for us. We can't embarrass our universersity by letting him participate. Even though Pranav's dancing wasn't bad, it was too lacking."
"Wasn't bad? lacking? lacking my a*s ! Who doesn't know Pranav is one of the best dancers in the University." Sri Ram really felt like punching his face, but Pranav held him back.
'Bumpkin brutes with no brains. Just with some skill and little fame, you think you can oppose me? In the end, power and background is all that matters' thinking inwardly, Johan looked around. All the students are laughing and jeering, none seemed to supporting the trio. He became more confident "Don't blame me. It's not that I am intentionally trying to find trouble with you guys, it was just that your friend wasn't qualified. For this Spirit Award Fest, we don't need some average dance but something- something new, something different, something unique."
"Unique? did someone just say unique?"
