Gleichber(1)

Leo#25543:'Are you ready for the inter group class? They said we would all love it!'

Alphonse#65908:'They probably hyped it up for nothing.'

Leo#25543:'Are you sure about that? Have you ever heard of Gleichber? Apparently that's where we're going.'

Alphonse#65908:'Wasn't Gleichber just a rumor?'

Leo#25543:'Well from the name of the commute class, it would make sense for it to be the rumored Gleichber'

Alphonse#65908:'Looked it up. The class is called 'Expedition training'. I guess it could make sense but if we are really going there, I would be even more impressed with the academy for keeping this world for themselves.'

Leo#25543:'Maybe that's how they have so much funds, they just keep on farming it over and over again.'

Leo#25543:'Anyway, let's meet up when the class starts, I still got some stuff I need to do before seeing you guys!'

Alphonse#65908:'Fine by me.'

'So the rumored Gleichber might be real. We still have an hour before the first class. I think I have time to cram in another book.'

Calvin searched on his phone another basic martial art manual to read. This particular book was short and only explained how to improve the power of the basic martial art punches. He read it quickly and he felt the same eureka feeling. He then punched the air creating a stronger current than yesterday.

He felt quite happy with himself. He was improving decently fast for a first year and that made him forget bit by bit that he was still a Grey tier officially.

With still twenty minutes remaining, Calvin went to the cafeteria, where he filled himself up with a variety of food. The energy he used up the last night slowly came back to him as his belly filled up. With a good night sleep and a nice breakfast he felt like he could lift the world on his shoulder.

With as little as five minutes on the clock before the commute class began, Calvin rushed to the field where it was supposed to be taking place.

When he arrived at the field, which looked like his martial art's training field but bigger, he could see most students waiting around, chatting with their friends. Some were practicing martial arts while others were engrossed in books.

He scanned his surrounding and finally found Alphonse, who had his eyes closed.

-"What are you doing?"

Alphonse suddenly opened his eyes and turned around to take a glance at who disturbed him.

-"Who the f*c..."

-"Are you alright?"

He turned back to see Calvin looking at him, intrigued.

-"Ah, it's you. You made me lose focus. I was nearing perfect visualization. I just need this little input of mana to move mine to really make it but the teachers don't want to help us until the third class.'

Calvin looked at Alphonse and taught about his own experience with visualization. He remembered being able to switch on and off his [Concealment] and had an idea.

When he switched it on and off he felt a certain energy coursing through his body, moving around before feeling the effect. He taught that, if he could turn it on and try to move this energy toward Alphonse he could perhaps give him the mana input he needs.

Calvin put both his hands on Alphonse shoulders and started to use his [Concealment] on his hands, as if he wanted to hide his [Impulsive power] trait from showing.

-"What are you doing?"

-"Don't overthink it and focus on your visualization."

Alphonse closed his eyes and focused back on his visualization.

He felt a strange and hot energy go from his shoulders to his chest, filling him with a warm sensation.

*Gasp*

-"I did it! I fucking did it! I managed to see them, it's wonderful! How the hell did you do that?"

-"Wait, did you already know how to visualize? Is that why you knew they made an error with your assessment?"

Calvin let out a soft yes before being cut off.

-"You really are the son of your parents!"

-"Ye... So, what are your traits?"

-"Well, I couldn't clearly see all the inferior ones, but my Yellow one has something to do with the earth element."

-"What do you mean you couldn't see clearly? What did you see exactly?"

-"I was in a weird black room, in my mind..."

-"Yes."

-"...and there were these kind of orbs that showed me a vision of myself doing a bizarre movement that made the earth around me move."

-"Whoah! You got yourself an elemental trait, that's great."

-"Now that you say it, ye. Do you think I could become as powerful as Adelor, but with earth magic?"

-"Ok, calm down. Now that you'll focus more on the class, could you tell me where is Leo?"

-"Oh! He's right there."

Alphonse pointed at the crowd, where we could see Leo talking with a group of three girls, all of them looking disinterested and tired of listening to the man in front of them.

-"Soooo, is anyone if you beautiful ladies interested in going out with me?" Leo asked, looking like an old creep.

And then insued an ascending list of painful rejections.

-"No!"

-"Never!"

-"Eeww, disgusting!"

Leo's face crumpled, making him look like a pug. He then turned around to leave the trio and to rejoin his friends with a sad frown on his face.

He slowly approached them but couldn't ignore the giant smile sitting on Alphonse face.

-"Are you that happy that I got rejected? THREE times??"

-"As much as I like seeing you in this state, I can. assure you that my smile as nothing to do with your inability to be interesting to the opposite gender."

-"You freaking bastard, tell me."

-"Calvin found a way to visualize and he helped me do it."

-"So what of it..."

Alphonse looked at Leo as if he was the dumbest man on the planet.

-"It means he can help you visualize too."

Leo rapidly changed from sad to intrigued and asked Calvin to show him how.

Calvin, briefly explained what to do and did the same procedure he did to Alphonse to Leo.

Leo, like Alphonse, couldn't clearly see all his traits, however, his blue one he could see and understand clearly. What's more, he already knew it's effect and what it did, since it was a well documented one.

[Blitz stride] basically allowed it's user to move faster and to create an electric courant on his trajectory. Unfortunately, in the Blue grade, this sort of trait, even though good, had only a few lovers, since it's energy consumption was really big for it's effect. One could only use it if he had a big mana pool or if he had a constant mana or energy being provided to him.

However, Leo couldn't care less about the mana consumption of his trait and started using it already. He ran a couple of laps in between and around the crowd, making a few pair of eyes notice him.
