Chapter 9: Awakened
"Ughh.." Alden slowly opened his eyes and then he proceeded to look around, then at the ceiling in a daze.
He slowly tried sat up, still in a half awake state.
"I'm...still alive?"
He said, as he wondered if everything that happened after Elijah left was real or not, he touched his faced and was shocked to when he felt like his burnt mark has disappeared.
"Wait a second! So that was not a dream?" As the realization dawned upon him, a look of anticipation appeared on his face.
Then, with nervousness filling his heart, he said the "magic" word...
"System! "
...
Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

"----"
Silence descended the room, and what made the first noise was a single drop of tear..
"*sniff* I-I didi-did it! I awakened! *sniff*" Years couldn't stop flowing as Alden looked at his very own status screen, testament to his awakening.
From, being abandoned by his family to, to his grandmother's death, to the endless torture subject to him, this was what made him cry for the first time in years.....
"I should share this news with grandpa" Alden revealed a smile even Lenar was not familiar with. Well, he did made him a cold fellow in his book...
The cold iceberg in his heart has now melted, revealing ones true self.
Thinking about it, he looks over at his status screen. More specifically, the 'Ability' Section and what he saw left him bewildered.
"Can't learn ability? What!? And what's this? Is it related to my talent" Alden got confused as he saw his talents, then another thing dawned him.
" I-I have 3 talents! That's insane! " He exclaimed, realizing the gravity of this.
The presence of a duel talent could cause a ruckus in even the federation and even someone who is considered a genius, such as Elijah only has 1 talent.
"But don't tell they give me negative effects" He had just muttered when a blue panel appeared in front of his status screen.
[(Talent name: Enigma of Ability)
(Effect 1 : The user becomes incapable of learning or acquiring new abilities.)
( Effect 2 : created an invisible barrier that makes user gains invulnerable to all abilities. This includes sure hit abilities, elemental abilities, support abilities, even sure kill abilities. Excluding spells and Talent s and other forms of hex)]
[(Talent name: Enigma of Prying)
(Effect 1: The user becomes impervious to attempts at prying through supernatural means.)
(Effect 2: While being impervious to prying, the user gains the ability to voluntarily access and retrieve additional details regarding something in their view. Granting them the power to delve deeper into the intricacies of information, extracting nuanced insights and uncovering hidden truths about a chosen topic.)]
"This.... I have never seen anything like this" Alden was shocked to the core, this was something beyond his understanding, he had never heard about a talent that literally makes you immune to abilities as a whole.
"And the ability to access additional data.... This is incredible! " He said with an excited voice.
"Now let's see, then there's my third talent, before I checked it out, I should tell this great news to grandpa! " Saying this he rushed out of the room with an excited face.
Meanwhile, somewhere else...
....In front of the W.T.F main HQ....
"Halt! State your reason! " One of the guards shouted, commanding a a young man with platinum blonde hair to state the reason for his visit.
"Hmm? Oh! I am here to get a licence for my banner, tell higher ups inside, they will know" Lenar spoke while giving the guard a suspicious look.
'He really thinks he is good at pretending like an ordinary guardsmen huh? Well, I can see why they sent him here, he really is stronger than most, nothing less from the 10th strongest awakened rank'
Unlike Shinji and Lenar, Almost everyone in Theia believes that there are a 100 Empyrean rank awakened, with 10 protecting the planet, who are regarded as top 10 strongest awakened of Theia, when really there's only 9 empyrean with 1 really strong Supreme grandmaster.
Oh! About Shinji, he is not allowed to show his real strength in public.
And the person right here was the person regarded as the tenth strongest awakened in Their.
Why do this? To intimidate others of course!
This simply keeps others in line.
"You... Are the empyrean!? " The guard asked while showing as little surprise on his face as possible, before laughing off.
"So what!? Do you really think you are anything remarkable at all? Let me show you, that even a meager guardsmen like me can give you a tough fight" Saying that, the guard demonstrated an unbelievable speed, closing the distance between him and Lenar.
'Hehe, are you surprised, it's too bad for that I too am now an empyrean ran-' The guard was however, fortunate enough, as the person he was up against was non other than a demi God in disguise.
Before he could even register what happened, he was in the middle of the ocean.
'Huh? '
And only after a good seconds did the pain arrived.
"Arrhggggggg" He screaming in pain as he felt a stinging pain in his right cheek.
Using his energy, he flew out of the water with full speed, " Bastard! I will skin you aliv-", midway, he once again felt a pain on his left cheek.
And this similar scenario continued for a good hours before the guard got tired decided to show his majesticness.
"Providence call! " As he said that, there was a huge influx of energy with him at the center.
"Get ready you bastard! I am going to erase you once and for all! How dare you humiliate me! Heug Tasevinia, one of the only ten empyreans! "
.....
.....1 minutes later...
We can now see lenar holding an unrecognizable figure by the head.
Sighing, he placed his palm in front of the the figure's Corex Astartas before muttering...
"Erase... "
