Amon sat silently as he waited. Following Elder Hazael’s suggestion, he was meditating while trying to understand the change in his body. It was a kind of evolving feeling, as if he were a 3-4 year old child who had suddenly reached adolescence.
The other students from different universities wanted to talk to him and ask him for tips just after he had managed to merge the spell book with his Genetic Factor, but seeing that he sat down and closed his eyes, they decided not to bother.
Sometimes, Amon squeezed his hands tightly and some sounds echoed because of the air squeezed in his hands. Teacher Flavia’s face was full of surprise, admiration and finally a smile. She didn’t expect that shortly after merging such a complicated spell, Amon would be able to control his strength so quickly. Even Old Hazael was surprised. There was a trace of shock in his long, narrow eyes.
“This boy has come far…” Teacher Flavia murmured. Her voice was so soft, meek, and pleasing to the ear.
Old man Hazael beside her said with a gentle smile, “Yes, not only is he talented, but he is also a hard worker.”
“Mm.” Teacher Flavia nodded with a nasal sound, then fell silent.
Hours later, the girls also returned. The fact that they had all succeeded in merging their spells with their Genetic Factor was something to rejoice about.
Old Hazael and the rest congratulated them. The happiest among the girls was Ariel. Although she had always been cheerful, now, she seemed to be so much more so. The reason was clear: she had managed to merge the spell [Little Ai’s heart] completely. It now offered her increased resistance to psychic techniques from various psychic attributes.
Maybe if she had won the lottery, even then she might not have been so happy. This was something that would stay with her for a lifetime, just as it would also help her to walk the path she dreamt of more easily.
“Amon, how are you feeling right now?” Barbara asked as she leaned on his shoulder casually.
Luckily, Amon was stronger than ordinary people, as even at this moment Barbara leaning on him had used a little more strength than an ordinary person could handle.
Amon looked at her placidly, and said quietly, “I’m feeling fine. I still need to get used to all this, but I should learn to control my current strength in a week at most.”
“Hehe, me too,” Barbara laughed and added, “Am I using too much force by the way?”
“Not for me,” Amon answered.
“Hehehe~” Barbara chuckled inwardly upon hearing that. She still remembered how he would ask ‘Are you hurt?’ when leaning on her.
In addition, even though she knew that due to lack of control she was using more strength than normal to lean on him, however, at no time did Amon complain. That was what made Barbara happier.
Thanks to the fact that they now had the tower access cards, Amon and the rest quickly arrived on Planet Plutan.
Teacher Flavia made her spaceship appear, and everyone boarded towards the university. She then got excited and placed her long legs on the table next to the unrestricted control panel. She rested her elbows on her arm and rested her face in her palm, tilting her head and looking at Amon and the girls.
Their performance pleased her very much. Of course, she wasn’t the only one pleased with their results. Even someone with as high of a status as Old Hazael was happy with their results.
Ever since they left the library, Amon and the girls had been talking about the experience of merging and post-merging their spells with their Genetic Factors. The fact that the conversation yielded so much was that each of them had a different experience. It wasn’t just limited by them each using different attributes; each spell book was unique in its class. Although they sometimes agreed that they had similar experiences, it was only for minor reasons.
“I feel like I’ve been underwater for a long time, and now I’ve finally come out, and because of that, I can’t control my strength,” Maisa said with a sigh.
“For me, it is somewhat the same.” Julia gently touched the left side of her face. “If before the water limited me and didn’t let me use much strength, now I feel free, but at the same time, I feel that this gain in strength and agility is difficult to use in an automatic way as before.”
“I think we all need to learn to control our bodies so they don’t affect our lives,” Ariel said with a laughing tone, “although I find this situation funny. When I see you guys walking robotically, I can barely control my laughter.”
“Tsk.” Barbara clucked her tongue, but then she thought of the way everyone was walking and being careful with every action they took, and she too laughed.
Amidst the students’ mutterings and conversation, Old Hazael clapped his hands to get everyone’s attention. The entire ship fell silent as everyone’s eyes fell on him.
Before them, Old Man Hazael spoke, “Before I left to participate in this tournament…” He paused, “almost no fledglings had taken this seriously. Most of them thought it was just a simple test and without much value and participated lightly, or stopped participating…”
Old Hazael’s eyes sharpened. “However, of course, many are no doubt now regretting not participating with everything they had, while others regret not taking it more seriously. Do you know why?”
Barbara responded quickly. “Because they heard about the chance they missed, and those who didn’t know how to take advantage of it also regretted it?”
“Yes, but do you know why we did things this way? Why did we make it seem like it was just an event that didn’t have much importance?” Old Hazael asked.
As Barbara pondered, Amon replied, “This is just my guess, but I believe it was to make new students realize that they should take advantage of every opportunity that comes before them. Although I don’t completely agree with it, I believe the intention is to say, ‘In life, several doors of opportunity will appear, however, it is up to each of you to choose whether to open this door or not.'”
“Exactly that: Opportunities are like sunsets. If you wait too long, you end up losing out on seeing them.” Julia looked to Amon as she spoke.
Amon just nodded in response.
“Hahaha.” After a moment of surprise, Old Hazael laughed out loud. He then said afterward, “Yes, that is the message we want to pass on to new students, and the five of you are a perfect example of having seized the opportunity that appeared before you and you were very well rewarded. However, there are also those who had the same chances, but treated this opportunity lightly.”
Meanwhile, in front of the university’s main gate, the vice-principal and some teachers, followed by many students nearby, were waiting for their arrival.
The vice principal muttered, “This year’s contestants are really monsters.”
The deeds of Amon and the girls were indeed amazing. Not only had they won the tournament, they were able to become Innates at such a young age. When they saw the spaceship approaching, many university students looked in their direction with looks of admiration and envy.
As the spaceship stopped in front of Amon’s group and Old Hazael, Teacher Flavia, Amon, and the girls started to leave. A round of applause and cheers echoed. A few rave reviews also echoed. There were also those who couldn’t stand it and made some mean comments, however, for fear of being noticed, they spoke in a low voice and were drowned out by the applause and words of praise.
