66. Unexpected Attack

As her words were finished the room descended into silence, everyone looked at Leo in shock. The object of their shock however remained passive and showed a curious look towards Emma.

Emma ignored their shock and continued, "Each class represent a process of evolution. However Class B to A is a qualitative leap. Once that step is taken, naturally or otherwise, the human body will completely change it's make up. This change comes with benefits, and those are called Extraordinary abilities."

"Before reaching class A, an Extraordinary's ability will be limited in power and range. However once they reach class A, every ability will undergo a transformation. This is the true point of awakening, and only then would their abilities be called Extraordinary ability."

"Those abilities mark the direction in which we develop, take Arthur for example, his abilities are Ice and Space, once he reach class S and goes through another evolution, his body will adjust itself to accommodate his powers and thus obtain greater power."

Arthur and the rest paid great attention to what she said. Leo also had a curious look on his face.

Emma turned to Leo, "This guy never took any type of serum, however his body is already on the path of evolution, right now he is equal to class S however, I suspect his evolution is higher than that."

The room again descended into silence, if before they were looking at Leo in shock over his strength, now they were looking at him as if he was a monster.

Finally Emma couldn't hold it in and asked, "How did you do it? Humans have limits, even naturally awakened Extraordinaries have limits, but you... how did you do it?"

Leo chuckled when he saw the vexed look on her face and felt good inside, he didn't reply to her and said, "Putting aside how I achieved evolution, I am more interested in you."

"You took a sample of my blood and learned so much from it, and in so little time. Now that is interesting, the instruments you used are just rudimentary, only used to store chemicals and to mix them."

Leo rapped the table and continued, "Putting together some minute details I came to conclusion, you also have an ability."

James, Deacon and Christine slightly stiffened when they heard him. Before they could interrupt Leo said, "Your ability should be something along the lines of analysing materials and obtaining info on them, correct?"

Emma looked at Leo in shock, How-How did he...

Leo chuckled, "Oh, don't be so surprised. I am a Demon Slayer, it comes with the territory to analyse the abilities of my opponents."

"Anyway, I also have another theory, I don't know if it's right or not, but I think the name or title "Patrick" isn't merely a title."

"It's given to the one with this particular ability, am I right?"

Crash!

Christine lost control for a moment, the cup of tea she was holding slipped out of her hand and fell down.

James and Deacon were so shocked by what they heard that their jaws almost hit the floor.

Arthur and the rest were also shocked and knew that they came across something they weren't supposed to.

Christine snapped out of her shock and rubbed her forehead, "Mr Leo, that's Classified information."

Leo tilted his head, "So...

James smiled wryly, "You shouldn't have said it out loud."

Leo understood and asked, "So... sorry?"

Everyone could only smile wryly. Since the cat was out of the bag Christine didn't hide it further, "Centuries ago, Patrick the first awakened naturally, and the ability he awakened helped him to analyse materials he touched."

"A rare ability that allowed him to analyze any object and obtain close to 80 percent of it's original data."

"He mastered his ability over the years and came up with the serum. That was a groundbreaking moment for us. But as years passed by, we got worried that this ability will buried with him."

"Fortunately fate wasn't fickle as we thought, Patrick's son inherited it. Emma is the new generation who will carry on that legacy."

It was the first time Arthur and the rest were hearing this news, so they were shocked. James and Deacon already knew of it so they didn't have much reaction and they were glad to see the shock on the face of the rest except one.

Leo had a passive look on his face, he merely acknowledged what was heard and didn't show any reaction.

Emma proudly puffed her non existent chest, she was really proud to be a Patrick, especially since she inherited the title. However what made her irritated was the indifferent look on Leo's face.

"Hey! What's wrong with you!?"

Leo looked at her eyes and curled his lips, "What? Did something happen?"

Emma bared her tiny teeth like a puppy, "Why aren't you reacting? Aren't you impressed by my family's glorious history?"

Leo tilted his head and said innocently, "Yeah, they were amazing."

Emma stomped her feet and asked, "Then why aren't you shocked?"

Leo looked at Dalia and asked, "Should I be shocked?"

Dalia covered her mouth and giggled, she knew Leo was messing with her intentionally for what happened earlier.

Emma was like a raging little puppy, she pounced at Leo and tried to bite him. This shocked Christine, she failed to react in time.

Leo saw Emma trying to bite him, he was about to dodge when a serious look took over his face, "Someone's here."

Without waiting for anyone to react he stretched out his arms and pulled out his sword. Like a loose cannon he shot towards the ceiling and slashed his sword.

Aaaahh!

A shrill rang through the room. Following that blood sprayed out and a man fell down, his head rolled over the floor and left a bloody trail on the ground.

Christine quickly shielded Emma, everyone else got raised their guards and was ready for battle. However Leo sheathed his sword and said, "They are gone."

James asked solemnly, "Did they hear us?"

Leo shook his head, "No, I don't think so. This one just appeared out of nowhere."

Arthur frowned, "It wasn't a space ability, I would have sensed it otherwise."

Sam had an ugly expression on his face, this was his base, and an rogue Extraordinary dared to walk in here! He was furious, his fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.

Leo saw his expression and said, "An Extraordinary with sneaking abilities, that's troublesome."
