Chapter 534 Chapter 534-Beating Up The Gang.
The silence left within the training hall after my words were haunting as everyone kept looking at each other as if they seemed to have heard something wrong. Jacob even cleaned his ears to see if they were still working, and unsurprisingly, the first one to take things seriously and ask me the question that needed to be was Alex.
"You are not joking, right?"
"I wish I was," I responded after which the reality of the situation started to settle in for everyone. As stunning as the news is, they understood that I wouldn't call them all up here at this time just to bullshit all of them.
"Is this the first truth?" Alex asked.
"One of many," I responded as I looked through all the gathered people, friends I rely on and care for all around me. They might not be strong enough to help me out now, but they will definitely be powerful in the future, and Right now, I need them to keep things in check at the academy because a wave is coming, and I want all my people ready to surf above it safe and sound.
"Why are you telling us this now?" Unexpectedly, Rina took the lead as she asked me this question, a trace of concern filling her eyes and voice, one that I can see in everyone gathered here right now.
"Don't worry, nothing is going to happen to me now. I am just preparing you guys," I spoke, to which Emma replied.
"If nothing won't happen now, doesn't mean anything won't happen in the future, right, my hero?"
I stayed silent at that. In truth, nothing can happen to me, but there are some limits that I can't cross and speak right now. Just as I was about to respond, the door to the training room opened, and Rika and Mika walked in, both of them having wry smiles on their faces as Rika spoke.
"Sorry, we were being held back by our matches, so what did we miss?"
Her question was met with an awkward look from everybody, to which I spoke.
"I was just telling them all that I am an Origin-level 10."
"Oh... that," Mika responded as she joined the group with Rika, the two of them not surprised by my words as I had already spoken to them about it. Unlike the ones in front of me, I am in a relationship with the two of them, and keeping such a level of secret and telling that in an open area with other friends isn't the best definition of a healthy relationship. Plus, I even gave them some more information than I am about to give my friends. You always need to maintain that line, after all.
"You know?" Alex asked, his eyes narrowing at the twin sisters.
"Let's just say that happened upon a time that got them the information," I intertwined such that things wouldn't get messy. Both Rika and Mika aren't exactly the best liars.
"We don't know everything, and he refuses to put us into the whole picture," this time Rika spoke, her narrowed eyes focusing on me, which I shrugged away.
"I can't tell the whole truth now, but I can let you guys in on small things." While I said so, I succeeded in getting the attention of everyone else again as I continued.
"As I was saying, there is a very important reason for my blessings and my power, and let's just say that the mission granted to me in return for these powers isn't simple."
Every word I spoke was the truth. The reason for my powers and success is the system, and getting to the end game of getting all the girls isn't easy, and now it ain't as simple as it looks too.
"One of these coming days, I will be leaving the academy to settle something for my goal, and during that time, something huge will happen at the academy." As I stopped here, I made sure I had the utmost focus of everyone here.
"A new group of students will be joining the academy." My words stayed in the atmosphere till Alex asked the main question.
"Who? And why should we all prepare?"
"The ones that will be arriving are the main hidden talents of all the greatest organizations of the world, both hidden and in the light. The true geniuses and monsters will soon enter the academy." As I spoke, I could see several emotions passing through all of my friends, their minds probably playing different scenarios in their minds. I stayed silent, letting them sink in the new information as I waited until Alex took the lead.
"So all those things you told us to do, it was going to be for that moment?"
"Yes," I replied as Alex continued.
"Why? Why the sudden gushing of talents?"
To this, I didn't answer directly as I lowered my voice, my tone turning serious as I responded.
"All I can tell in that regard is the fact that major things are going to happen in the world, and this is just the beginning of that. A great moment is ahead, and I need you all to be prepared."
My words brought another silence as everyone around me started to sink into the news again, a prolonged silence falling in place until Zora, the one with the biggest frown, asked.
"This matter you will be attending, it will affect the world in a huge manner?"
'Always the most attentive to the forgotten details.'
"It will shake up the world. In a way, it will be the biggest incident in a while," My response made the atmosphere tight, except for Mika and Rika, the rest had a depressed feeling all around, till Rina made a move. Her eyes and facial expression lit with emotions that I knew very well, one that I saw the very first time I saw her.
"What do we need to do?" Her question was straightforward without desiring any more knowledge. Among the ones gathered here, Rina and Sana are among the top who know how to survive a situation. They know the depths of despair, and they very well know their limitations, they know how to act and when to act.
"A world-ending event is coming... huh," Alex spoke out loud, his eyes laser-focused on me, but the null response from me cemented all the information in everyone. These words sparked another round of expressions all around, but the most unique will still be Alex, as a wide smile filled his face as he spoke.
"Doesn't this mean more chaos for me?"
"Keep it in your pants, Alex. Right now, we have other things to focus on. And yes, I haven't forgotten my promise of giving you the best excitement there is. I will make sure you have the front seat when things go to shit." My response only made the smile on Alex's face turn wider, putting the rest a bit at unease with his actions.
"For now, what I need is for you all to get ready, ready to face the shit storm heading towards us." As I finished my sentence, I tapped my hand, causing the entire room to shake. Everything within the room disappeared as soon as it began, a big fighting space taking its place. The room itself got tougher and stronger, while a light projection filled the entire place.
"Your first training is simple; it's to get beaten up by me and then improve everything about you," I spoke with a light smile on my face, the faces of my friends twisting at this as they all turned to face me. My eyes first focused on Alex, his body lightly trembling.
'I am gonna enjoy this' is what I thought as I arrived in front of Alex and punched his face, sending him flying across the room.
'Just as good as I thought it would be.' Just as I finished this thought, a huge sword descended down to me, which I easily dodged, meeting Mark's eyes. I punched forth easily, meeting his sword in full power. The light burst between us resulting in Mark flying across the room. Though just as I blinked, Amon appeared in my back with his daggers going to my back.
They didn't even get to touch me before ahe too was flying across the room due to a kick to his abdomen.
"Why don't we step it up a notch?" I asked as I looked at the remaining members.
