Hero's Rise
Book 2 Chapter 2

Book 2 Chapter 2

Very similar to the original license test for which earned them their Trainee heroic license, the lowest rank of license which is required for them to be studying for heroics, the tests were the same.

Until high school they don’t do these tests but once it does, ability usage is an important aspect of your strength.

As you can guess, because of that same fact, not a lot of people have a defined style of using their abilities which results in quite a number of people failing. That is why Robin could dish out so much power since he had trained this style for so long to make up for the lack of flexibility.

Of course, before anyone actually started anything Mr Might gave them a surprise. As you might already know, they had spent about half a month training without Kevin’s field and suffered immensely without tapping into their status.

Robin was actually curious about his new status and even new traits and seeing how much he had advanced.

He had been scanned as level 9 and he checked his previous status while Kevin came up and they charged. They already knew that Kevin didn’t need help with World power any longer, even so Robin represented Mr Atlas in trying and it naturally blocked the extra energy while others so he pulled out his notes.

A unique rubber body combat style which forces the four limbs into spring shaped spirals to exert greater force. The higher the level, the better the control over spring power, shape and general control over this style.

Traits

Strong Rubber Body

Passive

A natural body with rubber properties. This specific Rubber possesses a strong tensile strength which counters a common rubber body which discounts 30% in strength stat.

Defective Hardening

Active

A hardening ability that is partially incomplete biologically. It does, however, have the ability to harden the material of the body better than normal and can harden different kinds of materials beyond the common flesh and blood. This specific combination has adapted to the rubber body.

Life Force Deficiency

Passive

As a result of the defective hardening, your body possesses a Life Force deficiency. Specific effect happens when the hardening ability is active.

(Due to specific treatment, the deficiency is decreasing naturally and the defective trait is vanishing as the genes are merging more perfectly)

These were Robin's stats, traits and skills he had on the last scan and hoped that eventually they would slowly change.

After a while they finally finished and Kevin walked to the center of the field and placed the field and it rapidly expanded covering the entire field and every course.

Notice

Status are being scanned, please wait while your status is updated

This happened every time as the system tapped into the old data and updated their status and Robin waited anxiously and it finally appeared.

World Core Host

Passive

The host to a world core, as the host you gain the capacity to telepathically command the core and utilize its world power. Your body grows and can thrive on world power for at least 50% of your needs.

(Reduces damage caused by Life Force Deficiency but cannot improve the life force condition or speed up the merging possess.)

Robin updated his notes and frowned when he saw his wisdom had gone down but then looked at the skill that had increased the amount of amplification. High speed calculation, in practice, previously doubled his INT and now it seems it was starting to grow even stronger and it seems this was causing side effects of damaging his brain.

What was strangest was the status.

“Why do I have 30 status and what is next to it?” He muttered to himself. Shockingly there was a reply.

System help

System doing secondary scan...

He was shocked when it suddenly replied

System help

System has finished scan, update to World Core Host has been implemented

World Core Host

Passive

The host to a world core, as the host, you gain the capacity to telepathically command the core and utilize its world power. Your body grows and can thrive on world power for at least 50% of your needs.

This trait has expanded the potential of the host by double. Every level produces double the stat point.

(Reduces damage caused by Life Force Deficiency but cannot improve the life force condition or speed up the merging possess.)

“Okay… I get that with the three levels I got but 45 extra?” he asked.

System help

This represents status correction. This is actively attempting to improve into your body and through the system, has been intercepted from the World Core to be quickly implemented through your desired stat.

Robin looked and grinned as he suddenly understood, the stats were not in him, they were in the giant boulder and were trying to enhance his body with that power but he had yet to fully adapt to it.

This meant he had a full 75 points to distribute.

“Well this is interesting.” he said chuckling and began to think about his status just like everyone else. Some were already adding any recently gained stats but he began to calculate his intelligence and then raised his wisdom to 20 to avoid problems. Then he raised all stats to the highest multiple of 10.

Instantly 32 stats drained and filled the spaces.

“My int can go up to 250 safely now so there is plenty of space to grow from here. Now my constitution feels too high for my agility and dexterity and I feel like I need strength as well. Even at 70 I can go up to 280 str without side effects. So… 10 for, str, dex and agi. That leaves 12… 4 to agi, dex and con.” He muttered and finished adding that

He smiled and liked this set up because it was just that huge of an evolution and he finally agreed.

Instantly the large stone began to glow and everyone noticed the shift in energy as it began to gather into large bundles of power while Robin began to glow as his own potential began to move and fill it’s spaces just as he fainted and all those nodes shot towards him like a stream and instantly his body began to shine bright unlike anyone had seen.

If he had been awakened, he would have fainted nonetheless from the immense pain that his body was being ravaged with as his constitution grew enhancing his vitality and life force. After it was strengthened, mainly filling his blood after appearing only momentarily and expanding, the power began to fill his body.

For his dexterity, it didn’t just fill his joints, it spread through his body and from his bones to his skin it enhanced the elastic cells even destroying and rebuilding them almost instantaneously, changed by the technique.

This also caused an even further enhancement to the incompatible genes approaching greater stability but it was still far from fully achieving that.

Finally this power filled his brain and began to light it up as his cells began to multiply and his brain evolved more.

After about a minute the glow entered his body and slowly the effect ended as the light finished infusing into the last of his cells and calming down.

Mr Might walked over to Robin and checked him. Kevin came and checked.

“Wow… the system said he had over 50 points of latent potential to use because of the stone. He should be waking up soon.” Kevin said after checking with the system.

“Is that a lot?” Mr Might asked.

“Most people tend to get 5 each level but I think maybe because of Mr Atlas…” He muttered quietly.

“I see… It seems there was extra potential that means his body has greatly enhanced so this is a good thing for him as well.” he said and returned to the front, “Alright, I assume everyone is complete, we will start, try to help wake up those unconscious.” Mr Might said.

Like that they began to call names and began all the tests and the very first one started with the brute strength of their punches like the start.

Shoji was near him and kept giving him slaps until he slowly woke up. He felt extremely strange whether it was his body or his head and he leaned forward. “Urg, my head hurts.” He said feeling a bit nauseous

“Did you grow a lot?” Shoji asked.

“Yeah… I had 75 points and I increased everything.” He said.

“How high is your wisdom?” Shoji asked.

“20.” Robin replied.

“That must be why, maybe your brain is developing so much that it might be activating psychic powers.” Shoji said.

“It’s not, world power is filling the void and I feel it is converting anything forming outside of natural energies already in my body like life force.” Robin said, rubbing his face.

“You mean it is preventing the formation of other natural powers?” Shoji said, surprised.

“Yeah… I can feel a strange feeling in my brain but the moving world power pulls and blends it all making it world power.” He said.

“Why not try to put some world power into the dantain of the head and heart.” Shoji suggested.

“I don’t feel like going that far, also the flow of power already goes through them, it just doesn’t activate their unique flows.” he said. “Also, I don't want my life force turned into world power.” He said, looking at Shoji who smiled back at him, understanding the worry and lack of information.

Eventually it was Robin’s turn and he was already better.

He opened and closed his arms before swinging his arms and pulling out full extension but Robin was looking and smiled when he saw his arms extended a full 20 meters longer than his previous max.

He wrapped it into the spring and pulled it back and did that for all the limbs that had come undone because he lost consciousness and began to hop and look at the massive punching machine.

“Punch just like your first test.” Mr Might said and Robin nodded.

The punch had been the three impulse punch where he punched then his legs pushed winding his arm again and the arm pushed one again.

Robin sighed and calmed down before he burst forward with as much speed as a car entering highway speeds and in a few seconds he turned and punched before his legs burst and his arms matched the extension, all while his body was hardened for the maximum strength.

BANG!

The machine wasn’t the same where two screws came out with just his power, this one was better but Robin’s max powered punch wasn’t a joke. His strength was already almost twice what it had been at the start of the year.

The numbers rapidly rose until it stopped shy of 15k.

“Hehehe, just right for nearly doubling my max strength.” he smiled.

In the bleachers the students exclaimed just like the start of the year but some people looked at two figures. Marcus was scowling as he looked at the number while Silk was grumbling about surpassing it.

Soon it was Marcus’s turn and unlike the first time, his transformation was truly like a hybrid gorilla but the size was still limited to 12 meters of height at most but he had a full human posture instead of the gorilla posture.

He walked up to the machine and took a proper punching pose and put his entire body into it.

BANG! Ding!

Surprisingly, a bolt shot out from the screws as the number rose and stopped at 18k.

“Ahahaha!” he laughed and roared while pounding his chest and looked at Robin as he shrank down to his normal size.

Shoji was just looking and raised his brows. “Seems he still is trying to compete.” He said.

“Just leave donkey kong along, getting involved is just going to cause more headaches.” Robin said in a bored tone.

Soon after Silk had his turn and instead of using his headbutts he did a few stretching kicks before running a few steps before kicking.

A loud bang came as the number rushed almost equal to Robin’s making him instantly scowl.

“Hehehe, it seems this result pisses you off.” Shoji jokes.

“Oh shut up…” Robin said and saw Silk looking with a grin on his face, “That stupid grin makes me want to punch it.” He said.

Shoji laughed at his friend and thought how the relationship between the three was so strange.

Although Marcus got stronger, it was still natural, of course he was taking extra martial arts classes to properly move his massive body so his punches are more focused instead of berserker.

After that many tests continued, Robin showed his power especially in things like long jump and speed thanks to his extended range. The tests let him test his strength thankfully but he had to look at the two idiots constantly comparing with him, making him work even harder just to make them shut up.

It went all the way one for the next two days until noon when they finished the last tests.

“Alright, after lunch we will hand out the results.” Mr Might said with a smile and together with the teachers they headed to the office to eat while analyzing the results while the students were let out to shower and go eat lunch.
