“Sir, you can’t go anywhere”, a butler said pleadingly.
Concern can be seen clearly on the butler’s face, he tried to stop a kid that is about to leave.
Then, another maid also joins in and tries to stop the kid, “We have a strict rule from Rex to not let you leave the room, please don’t make it difficult for us”, the maid said.
The kid is Kyran, he wanted to go out of the room.
Getting caged in this room with Ryze makes him feel that he was about to lose his mind, and he needs to take some fresh air.
Even if he got stronger, it still feels cramped when the only thing you do is training.
“Are you going to lock me here until he returns? Adhara was rarely in this room, and Ryze kept avoiding me! What am I supposed to do!”, he said irritatedly.
He ignores the plead of the maid and the butler as he walks to the front door.
Feeling that Kyran will not listen to them, the butler finally said, “Sir you can go out, but please let me accompany you”
Kyran looks at the butler who was about to break down,
He finally sighs before he nodded his head, the butler’s pleading expression finally got to him as he let the butler accompany him.
After agreeing with the butler, Kyran left the room with the butler.
Unknown to the others, Ryze is peeking through the door with a troubled look.
He saw how Kyran is blocked by the butler and the maid who is trying so hard to make him stay, and deep down he wanted to go out too.
Ryze shyly walks out of the room,
Because of his small body, the hall that leads to the front door becomes bigger than usual.
The clean golden tables with a golden statue on them, white teapot with golden colors on its edges, and even fancy night candles decorate the side.
Huge paintings of Faraday University’s building can be seen on the wall with different kinds of aesthetic paintings of Awakened.
All of this becomes bigger as Ryze bites his fingernails while walking slowly,
After reaching near the front door, a maid suddenly came out from the door beside him surprising Ryze who was just about to walk past the door.
The maid is Clarice,
Ryze held his hands in front of his crotch while looking down, he’s prepared to be told to not go out of the room.
But then, Clarice only glances at him before she walks past her.
This makes Ryze shocked, he looks to his back and saw Clarice started cleaning the place, “Can…Can I go out?”, he said shyly.
Clarice kept cleaning the room,
Ryze thought that she didn’t hear him so he said it one more time, “I want to go out too”
Hearing what Ryze told the second time, Clarice stopped cleaning before she turns towards Ryze making Ryze looks down again.
“If you want to go out, just go out. You don’t need to announce it”, Clarice said clearly.
Ryze bit his lips after hearing what Clarice said, he’s confused about her answers before he started walking towards the front door.
The front door is big,
It’s made with wood material but if one looks closer, there is slight energy that comes out of the front door.
The door is imbued with a rune, and it will be hard to break it.
Ryze held the handle of the door wanting to open it, but then he suddenly stop.
He then looks at the window on his right that shows the starry sky, it brings a cool air that makes anyone that gazes into it relaxed and sleepy.
But this beautiful night sky suddenly make Ryze started to tear up,
Ryze gripped the front door’s handle as he closes his eyes tightly, a couple of tears fall down from her eyes.
This happened without anyone caring,
Many of the maids walk around to clean up this room, but they ignore Ryze as if he didn’t even exist in the first place.
After stabilizing his breathing,
Ryze finally takes his hand off the handle before he decided to go back to his room.
Meanwhile,
Kyran is currently walking along the university hall with a butler on his side,
Many eyes fall onto him but noticing the number one symbol on the butler’s uniform, the others sent a polite smile towards Kyran.
Seeing this, Kyran puffed up his chest and smile back.
He doesn’t know why the people here are friendly to him, but he doesn’t mind it.
“Do you know where the training ground is? I want to see Adhara training”, Kyran asks.
The butler then replied politely, “Please follow me, sir, I know everything about the university”
Kyran nodded his head before he’s brought to the training ground,
There are still many students outside of the training ground, and the procedure is still the same.
Seeing that he need a card to enter the training ground, Kyran looks to the butler before the butler takes out a card and gives it to Kyran.
Kyran happily gives the card to the robot before the robot scans him,
He watched the procedures with curious eyes,
Back in his hometown, there’re no such technology that even an automated sink surprised him.
After getting scanned by the robot at the entrance, the robot gestures to Kyran to go inside before Kyran happily went inside a blue barrier.
Upon entering the training ground, Kyran marvels at the surrounding.
He then got surprised by the golden orb above his head that appears suddenly,
“This is the top ranker’s orb that Rex posses, it’s a sign of absolute power”, the butler said.
Kyran looks at the golden orb with widened eyes, he wanted to touch it but realizes that it can’t be touched so he started to look around.
The students that are training here fascinated him,
All of them are covered in sweats as they meditate, learn, or even fight with a robot.
Kyran looks around the place with starry eyes, he has never been in a training place let alone an advanced training place like this one.
“Here is where the students of Faraday University train, we’re proud to tell that we have the most advanced training ground in the whole Eplida Alliance”, the butler said pridefully.
Kyran’s mouth turns into O shaped as he looks around,
He then started to wander inside the Training Ground accompanied by the butler,
But what catches his eyes the most are the arenas where students fight with robots, Kyran went to an area and watch as the fight inside become intense.
BOOM!
CLANG!!
SLASH!
All kinds of sounds were made,
The students and the robot clashes against each other relentlessly, they both didn’t back down as they kept clashing against each other.
The robot in the arena is a ranged one, it has many weapons that rain fires at the students while keeping a good distance from the student.
Kyran looks to the side and saw the student,
The student dodges all of the robot’s attacks by deflecting and dodging its bullets, he has a saber on his hand.
“He’s at a disadvantage, he needs to close the distance but the robot is good at keeping the perfect distance with that guy”, The butler said.
Kyran heard this before he replied, “If it were me, I can defeat the robot easily”
Hearing this, the butler widened his eyes in shock.
He looks to the arena and notices that the robot is R-3, a ranged robot that has a peak rank three power and is known as the most annoying robot.
The butler smiles politely feeling that Kyran must’ve been joking.
“Wait, Aren’t you the kid that Rex Silverstar brought in?”, a voice suddenly interrupted the both of them from the back.
Kyran turns to his back and saw a woman with a guy beside her, the woman was the one who greeted him.
Upon laying his eyes on the woman, Kyran instantly catches her glowing brown eyes.
It’s like a trait of hers, and Kyran find it beautiful, “Yes, my name is Kyran”
“Hello, Kyran, my name is Lisa and this dumb guy beside me is Jack”, Lisa said sweetly.
Jack looks at her in confusion, “Hey! What did you just say?”
“Nothing, I’m just introducing you to this cute Kyran over here”, Lisa lied with a smile.
This makes Kyran blushes a little because he never gets treated this way, Lisa is full of a positive aura and this is new for Kyran.
Lisa then continues, “Kyran, have you seen Adhara? I’m searching for her”
Hearing this, Kyran looks to the butler and saw the butler shook his head, “I don’t know where she is, I rarely saw her these days”
Lisa and Jack’s mood becomes sour, they already tried to search Adhara for days.
But then, Lisa suddenly asks, “Kyran, do you want me to show you around?”
“That’ll be great!”, Kyran replied innocently.
Unknown to Kyran, his words greatly hurt the butler beside him that also wanted to show Kyran around the university.
Lisa signal Kyran to follow her but Kyran stopped her,
He then points to the arena where the robots are located and said, “I want to try fighting robots! Can you help me?”
Hearing this, Lisa and Jack look at each other awkwardly.
“I don’t know if it’s safe for you to do that”, Lisa said while scratching her head.
Jack then approach Kyran and held his shoulder, “Don’t worry, when you grow up you will certainly be able to join this university and fight these robots all you want”
“Then you will be as strong as me!”, Jack said while activating his elemental aura.
But then, Kyran suddenly held Jack’s hand and twist it to the side.
Jack’s hand got removed from Kyran’s shoulder which shocks Lisa and Jack greatly, “Don’t worry, I’m strong too!”, Kyran said innocently.
Hearing this, Jack retracts back his hand while still in shock.
“You’re playing right?”, Lisa whispers to Jack.
It takes a moment before Jack snapped out of his daze, “No, It’s not my full power but I still activated my elemental aura”
Both of them look at Kyran as if he’s a monster,
Kyran on the other hand is smiling towards both of them and said, “So Can I fight one?”
The butler wanted to intervene but Kyran glare at him, which makes him slouches his back and let Kyran get inside the arena.
Because of concern, Lisa picked P-3 as Kyran’s opponent.
It has a rank-three power but it doesn’t have the insane reflex like the other physical robots, it will be safer to fight against.
Kyran get inside the arena nonchalantly,
The crowd of students stopped when they saw a kid in the arena about to fight P-3.
“Who is he? Why is a kid here?”
“Don’t you know who he is? It’s the kid Rex Silverstar brought”
“That’s the kid? There’s no way he’s a monster like Rex too right?”
Kyran stretches his body feeling stiff from sitting all day in the room, he stretches his body as P-3 got out of the gate.
Looking at the robot, Kyran becomes excited.
P-3 is a blue robot that stood around 6 feet, its body is lean and nimble, and there’s a double-headed lance in its hand.
It makes a robotic sound as it gets into its battle position,
Kyran on the other hand is only standing there motionless, he didn’t even prepare for a surprise attack if P-3 tried to attack him after the countdown is over.
A ready hologram sign appeared above the arena, and it started to countdown from three.
‘3’
‘2’
‘1’
‘Begin!’
Right after the countdown ends, P-3 makes its move as it leaped towards Kyran.
It sent a barrage of attack towards Kyran that makes Lisa, Jack, and the butler watching this concerned, but something unbelievable happened.
CLANG!
CLANG!
Kyran blocks P-3’s attacks with his bare hand!
This makes the crowd gasp in shock, they can’t believe a kid can be this powerful.
P-3 kept attacking Kyran and got blocked easily,
The sound of the collision shows the force behind P-3’s attack, it can hurt someone like Kyran but his senses are too sharp.
Not one of P-3’s attacks managed to get through,
P-3 then suddenly jumped back creating a distance, its body creates a mechanical sound as its eyes glow yellow.
The lance in its hand started to spark with lightning,
“That’s P-3 final move! Lightning Thrust!”
“It’s a fast attack that is imbued with lightning, the penetration of that attack is powerful!”
“That kid can’t block it with his bare hands, someone helps him!”
P-3’s body jolted as it thrust its double-headed lance forwards towards Kyran,
But when P-3’s lance was about to connect,
CRASH!!
In a blink of an eye, P-3’s lance and arm got destroyed suddenly by Kyran.
Kyran’s attack is so powerful that it shatters P-3’s lance and arm, this completely makes the crowd’s eyes bulge as if their eyes wanting to pop out.
It’s an unbelievable feat for a kid like Kyran to do,
Some of them can’t even win against P-3 that easily, but Kyran did the unthinkable.
P-3 looks at its broken arm before looking back at Kyran,
With a twitch of Kyran’s body, P-3’s head shatters after getting punched cleanly by Kyran.
The match was stated to be over by the holograms, and Kyran looks towards Lisa, Jack, and the butler while waving his hand, “I won!”
The three of them look at each other in shock, one word crosses all of their minds.
‘Monster!’
