He didn’t know how much time had passed, but when he did, he was back in his room. Opening his eyes, he saw a warning on his retina.
_ _
[Gene Fury + 19]
[Gene Fury has maxed out!]
_ _
This was a little shocking, he had expected it would take a few months, even years before he was able to fill this out.
In the lower part, he also saw that he had an increase in the lightning gene. Now he was at 100% fury and 90% lightning gene.
Getting up and opening the window, Amon saw that it was still night. Looking at her wristwatch, it was 8:11 pm.
‘Has so little time passed?’
Amon was confused, even though he lost track of time, he believed that at least several hours had passed…
However, he then realized that he received several messages. When he saw he was 99+, Amon read the first few messages. 𝚘𝚟𝚕．ｔ
Initially, I was asking if he was coming… Then asking if some things happened and it didn’t stop there, and the times of the messages were several different times, it was then that Amon realized that he was meditating for more than 1 day.
‘This…’ Amon continued reading.
[Amon, today is the day of the practice test, you need to come!]
That was the last message, it had been sent 10 minutes ago by Maisa.
Thinking a little, he replied: [I’m leaving, wait for me at XXXX.]
After finishing sending the message, he smelled a pungent smell.
He sent another message: [It will take 30-40 minutes to arrive, I will take a shower.]
In the girls’ dormitory, Maisa let out a relieved sigh. She was starting to worry, luckily she got a text from Amon and she still had 2 hours before the theory test started: [Okay, the girls are here with me, I’ll let them know.]
.

“Amon!” Julia, who was sad before, was overjoyed to see Amon arrive.
Ariel nudged his waist as soon as he got close to them: “Hey, hey, you almost missed the theory test, we were even thinking you passed out or were kidnapped~”
“Yes, we even had a teacher knocking on your door…”
“Did someone knock on my door?” Amon interrupted Barbara.
“Yes, luckily he was a lightning teacher, and he said he had a strong concentration of lightning, because of that, he said we shouldn’t bother,” Barbara replied.
“I understand.” Amon contemplated.
He benefited a lot, it would be a great loss if he had been interrupted. “I need to thank this teacher later…”
“By the way, Amon, you’ve gotten more handsome~” Julia said in an unintentionally flirtatious tone. The era just couldn’t resist his charm and ended up speaking in a sweet and coquettish way.
When they heard this, Maisa and Barbara looked and noticed that Amon did indeed look better. Whether it was his posture, or his skin that looked more handsome, even his hair felt silkier and felt incredibly comfortable to the touch, making them want to touch his head to feel if it was smooth or just their imagination.
“Mhm, it must be because…” Amon noticed that there were a lot of people around him, and said, “I’ll talk about that later.”
“Oh, right.” The girls were quick to understand that it wasn’t something that could be said lightly.
Soon Ariel changed the subject: “By the way, Amon, do you intend to take the test in the lightning department?”
“Maybe.” He still hasn’t made up his mind.
“Listen to this before you make up your mind.” Ariel said with a smile: “In the fire department, you can make teams of up to 7 people. It was not said exactly what they would do in teams, but it seems that there are no restrictions and can be teams formed from other departments, as long as at least 1 person is from the fire department.”
Amon looked at Julia and Maisa: “Are you interested in participating in a group? If so, I will.”
He was happy today and didn’t much care which department he was in.
“Yes, I want to participate.” Maisa said: “To tell you the truth, I don’t feel safe going to the water department. That Alexandre scares me a little.”
“The same here.” Julia had to agree. Especially the looks of Alexandre that made her more and more disgusted.
“So, what about you, Ariel?” Amon looked at her.
“Fine by me.” Ariel nodded with a smile.
“Okay, so let’s go together.” Amon sounded more relaxed than usual when he spoke.
The girls noticed this, he seemed a little less indifferent, even a little more cheerful and fair.
‘Am I imagining something?’
It was still uncertain, but the girls felt that somehow Amon had changed a little.
.
.
As was to be expected, in the fire department there were many more people than in the other departments.
Obviously, the group test was the real reason. However, those who weren’t exactly excellent decided to take a risk and form groups. It was more convenient for them this since one could cover the faults of the others.
“Wow, it’s so excited here,” Barbara said with her bright eyes.
“Yea.” Normally Maisa would scoff at her, but this time, even she couldn’t help but agree.
It was a lot of people, even though they were all warm, there were at least 300 to 400 people. Much more than the other departments.
Julia said softly, “Did you hear? That group over there said that this sort of arrangement is done every year, obviously, it’s not always in the fire department.”
As the group chatted about it was kind of close to them, Amon and the rest listened too.
“Yeah, the girl who said that, said she heard it from her sister who was already doing her Ph.D., right?” Julia asked rhetorically.
“Keep quiet, let’s see if she says any more important information.” Maisa signaled silence with her left hand, placing her index finger between her pink-red lips.
“Oh, what a coincidence.”
A voice that was like a haunting came from behind them.
