Chapter 40 - The Second Ingredient for Fusion

While making his way around campus with his friends, he kept his eyes out for abilities that may be compatible with the ones he was already carrying. A few ideas came to mind that may work together, he assumed that a speed type ability may work with his reinforce, he also thought that maybe an ability like telekinesis could be combined with telepath.

When considering the different options, Milo came to an epiphany that if he truly wanted to make himself as strong as possible, he should look for an ability that would be compatible with his frost ability. With it being an ability that was already powerful before combining it with another ability. When thinking of what to fuse it with, an ability that was fairly common came to mind. What would happen if he combined frost with the water ability, maybe he could freeze the water in the air and create a blizzard or create spears of ice he could use. When thinking of the possibilities, he bumped into a student, the student seemed to be on edge or thought he was tough, because he lashed out at Milo.

"Watch where you're walking, asshole."

Milo didn't respond and instead stared at the screen above his head.

"What is this luck?" Milo thought out loud.

"What kind of crap are you mumbling?" yelled the student who he bumped into. The student turned around and lashed out with a whip of water.

Side stepping the attack, Milo's friends decided to try and get involved.

"Stay back, this one is mine," Milo said, this surprised his friends as he seemed a bit aggressive.

Activating his ability, due to the increase in his magic power and intelligence stats, the temperature dropped to freezing in a split second. Frost started to spread from where his feet touched the concrete of the path they were walking. His arms also began to emit an extreme cold, causing frost to climb up his arms and causing his hair to develop a layer of frost as well.

His friends were astounded as it was clear he wasn't holding back. The water student showed no fear and instead tried to lash out with a whip of water again, when the water came within a certain radius of Milo, it froze as if it were passing through a barrier and fell to the ground. The water student's eyes widened in shock as now, his ability would be useless, instead he ran in close trying to hit Milo, this also proved to be a mistake as the minute he stepped in the frost on the ground it began to climb his legs, freezing his feet in place. Milo then took one step forward and gave a solid right hook, catching the student in the jaw and knocking him out cold. He was much stronger than he used to be thanks to him raising his strength stat above 20.

After defeating the student, his friends were in awe of how powerful Milo appeared to be, he was growing at an astonishing rate and it wouldn't be long before he got upgraded to the X rank class.

With a satisfied grin, Milo hit the accept button and initiated his Plunder ability. Luckily this time, just like his first two attempts the ability was a success. After the black chains wrapped around the student and vanished a success a screen popped up.
