Chapter 4: Power Levels

Trigon felt a wave of panic rushes into him. Looking at those who wore their watches, he saw each one with the green number "1" boldly showing on the screen while his own was still blank.

"Damnit system. Just help me and show my damn number." He mutters to no one, in particular, surprisedly the system replies.

[Host can't be allowed to have direct contact with the watch for security reasons. But the system can act as a medium between both.]

"Why can't I have a direct contact?"

[Host is too weak to know, but note, that the creator of this object is someone beyond the current human level.]

Giving a vague reply which further made Trigon curious, but no matter how he asked, the system didn't reply.

Without any choice, he could only allow the system to act as a medium.

Suddenly the watch with a dark screen flashes as the number "1" also appears on his watch.

"Wuuu, finally..." Trigon was interrupted by the lady on the stage.

"Okay, now it's time to determine your levels. With that we can know which course and class will suit you more, Roselle the stage is yours. "

She said while stepping down from the stage, the young man known as Roselle climbed the stage with a smile as he said, "Alright, boys and girls, time for your test."

As soon as he said so, a tablet appeared out of nowhere in his hand.

"A space ability user, they are so rare that I heard anyone with such a position holds a high rank in the military. I bet this playboy-like dude is a high-rank person. Tsk, no wonder he gives off a Scion vibe." Lexmus who was standing a meter close to him said with jealousy.

Trigon didn't reply as he watched the man type some words into the tablet before.

"Okay, Lexmus Sunset, Alfred Hitchcock, Rihanna East and Trigon Duncan. Please step forward let's get this test done fast." Roselle said.

"Seems we destined to work together huh..." Lexmus smirked, despite Trigon's irresponsive character he still stood close to him.

The both of them walked down, towards the stage. Standing with them are Alfred and Rihanna.

As soon as they all climbed the stage, a bright light engulfed them completely. Trigon felt a wave of dizziness hit him but quickly vanished just like the one he experienced from the teleportation device.

The next second he found himself in a training room painted completely white with scorch marks on the floor. Dumbbells and other unknown training things could be seen neatly arranged. Using that chance, he fully observed the other two in the room with them. Alfred of a guy about 6.6 feet tall with broad muscles, an ordinary face and dark hair.

The only noticeable thing on him was the line slash across his left eye.

The lady Rihanna was the type that would invite others to protect her. Having the body shape of a 14-year-old girl with round big eyes and brown iris.

Trigon: "Flat..."

That was the first word that came into his mind as soon as he saw her chest.

"Okay lads, before we start I would like to call out Trigon and Alfred. As you know, the both of you literally have no ability and it is the academy's mission to provide you with one. After all, you can't live for more than two days here without anything to protect you." Saying so Roselle snaps his fingers producing four books that silently float in the air.

_He also has Telekinesis ability?!_ Trigon thought.

"Choose between these two. As you know, the academy is under the military and the military has control over 3 abilities, Wind, Earth and Water. The wind is mainly for the academy so you have to do between Earth and Water ability. But if you want to go for body refiner class then no problem." Saying so, Roselle made the books split into two as water and earth floated towards Trigon and Alfred separately.

(Well, I will just say my dad already gave me an ability book today.) Thinking so Trigon turned towards the man and said.

"Sorry but I won't need it, Sir, My dad gave me an ability book today before coming here. All I got to do is practice it." Trigon said respectfully.

"Okay, I see. Then don't disappoint him kiddo." Saying so he turns to see what choice Alfred made but unsurprisingly he choose Earth.

"Muscles plus Earth ability is just a perfect combo huh?" Lexus is once again a whisperer in Trigon's ear.

This time Trigon couldn't but add, "Yeah, maybe fire too will be an additional combo."

As soon as Alfred picked up his book, he held it excitedly with trembling hands he muttered a 'Thank you'.

Roselle gave a nod and threw back the other 3 books then said, "Alright, Lexmus, Rihanna, Trigon then Alfred. According to how I called you, hit that punching bag with your full power. With it, we can determine what sort of level you will be given and your rewards."

"Wait, there is a reward?" Alfred asked with his eyes glistening.

"Hahaha, yes. As a new student, you will be given 5 Coins as your gift. But there is a catch, if you can perform well you will be given additional coins. Trust me, you gotta need 'em.'' Roselle explained.

"Okay, but can we use our ability, Sir?" A soft voice barely audible asked, it was like the owner was forced to speak.

Trigon knew very well it was the girl's own.

"Sure, you can use it to smack the punching bag."

"Really? Then give way for this young daddy." Saying so Lexmus stepped out arrogantly and walked towards one of the punching bags. Staring at it he opens his fist and suddenly his hand turns silverly color. It didn't stop there as a ball of flame the size of a baby fist condensed in his hand, without wasting time he stomped the floor and propelled himself at an astonishing speed towards the bag, tightening his fist he brought it down towards the machine.

Baaang!

As soon as his fist hit the bag, the flame exploded, crashing into the bag and making it shake slightly.

The computer hanging on top of the bag suddenly shows a number.

1... 2... 3... 4... 5...

"Nice, you are stronger to the point I can proudly say you can face a year 2 student without many issues." Roselle mumbled an acknowledgement and said, "Alright next text, you gonna dodge all those balls targeted on you."

Lexmus move towards another open section, and a machine with over 12+ holes starts spinning and shooting life-like holographic balls at him. With quick footsteps, he dodges everyone. but suddenly the ball being shot started getting faster and he finally got hit.

"Congratulations on lasting 60 seconds. You have been given 8.5 points on this one. Over all you are quite a high level for your age also, you have earned yourself some coins." Saying so he clicked on his tablet prompting the "1" on Lexmus watch to change to "5".

Next was Rihanna's turn. Stepping forward she condensed a ball of ice and shot it to the bag earning herself a whooping number of '3.5'.

Reaching the running part, maybe she has always trained her agility she was able to last for over 69 seconds. A whole 9 seconds higher than Lexmus.

"Congratulations on lasting 69 seconds. You have been given 7.5 points on this one. Over all you are quite high level for your age also, you have earned yourself some coins." Saying so he clicked on his tablet prompting the "1" on Rihanna's watch to change to "5".

"Next up is Trigon," Roselle said.
