Book 3 Chapter 4

Book 3 Chapter 4

Esper listened to Chasm Might in a private office and listened to what he had discovered and him showing the changing true qi in his heart and the very minor change in the top one since he had not focused on it yet.

“This is why I think that lvl 1 processed internal forces stored in other places might actually absorb and fuse with raw energies that we, as people born with sole control of one energy, cannot access. I wanted to see if you could confirm this.” He said.

“I don’t need to, I've already experimented with this years ago. Of course, not with the complete system of meridians that the gamer space has developed but from what you’ve said, it is still likely to react the same.” he said.

“You’ve done this?” he asked.

“I did, I learned of some chinese monks who practiced with Chi who had tried this and naturally infused chi into their storage but naturally it didn’t change into mana or any other form.” He said.

“It isn’t what I am talking about. It is processed Qi stored in those places.” he said.

“Yes, I know. Those people naturally didn’t have the capacity to use their full bodies like you do. However I did, after all, the lower dantian is the most natural and present energy system in the human body. Even though I have that system while my brain system has only been natural like basically everyone and isolated to my brain.” He said.

“You’ve infused psychic energy into your lower dantian?” He asked.

“Yes, it’s given me quite the luxurious capacity to store double my psychic energy. Honestly, it is the energy I tend to use when I need psychic energy blasts over pure mental control so it isn’t like I haven’t noticed a change but the difference is miniscule. This is especially true after I got all three human systems to expand my psychic capacity. Even now, after almost a year since we started planning this academy, I've channeled both sources of energy equally and there are no drastic changes. Obviously, I do have some theories as to why you got such a reaction and I did not.” he said.

“Really?” Chasm Might asked.

“Yes, the main change is that my lower dantian is used for external energy, aka ambient spiritual power, that is naturally converted into chi for those who are capable. As I am not, I only have a vacuum and no chi. I may have obtained tiny amounts that diluted into my psychic energy but that is about it. For you however, you added an external processed energy source into the central energy node of two biologically natural energies. You are an extremely powerful man with a vitality rivaled by few. Your body just simply makes sure not to concentrate those energies but when you add the external energy, it obtains a ‘link’ that it can grow from. In other words, this capacity for the middle and upper would possibly work between them but Qi would work with both and create new energy.” Esper theorized.

Chasm Might looked at his hands as they began to radiate a red aura in thought. “Maybe this is my next breakthrough. Although I've been looking into what Grace’s Deity has said about condensing energy into a solid to produce a greater force, I haven't even found the threshold to work from.” He said.

“I know the little girl from the civilian course did this, as you said, but why did you suddenly want to experiment with this, and possibly cripple yourself, without testing it on someone else first?” He asked.

“Why would I do that?” He asked, looking at the man. “This is something that didn’t cripple a little girl so why would it cripple me? I mean she only has Chi control while I have that and several body enhancement traits that build my body. There is nothing she can do that I can’t.” He said.

Esper thought for a moment and nodded, seeing the truth in this statement.

“As for ‘why’ I didn’t wait for her to mature, well it has to do with Robin and his sister.” he said.

“Your disciple?” Esper asked.

“Yes, yesterday they, shockingly, figured out a way to parallel channel their energies. Robin avoided using Titan force but his sister has True Qi and used all three in parallel, even if just a small bit very slowly. A single punch caused a lot of damage at once.” He said.

“Why did he avoid Titan force?” Esper asked.

“Because he doesn’t know if he will end up losing it or not. Honestly, I can barely believe him when he says his teacher is trapped inside the giant rock. To him, his teacher is likely to return once all the rocks are one and the essence of his teacher has no place to stay anymore.” He said.

Esper looked at the wall but Chasm Might knew he was looking at the rock with his psychic energy.

“It doesn’t help that it rejects invasive energies trying to examine it.” Esper said.

Chasm Might nodded to this.

“Also, how did the girl produce all three processed energies already?” He asked.

“Well, it seems she obtained Life essence this year after getting back from training camp because Robin told her the requirements. She was also enhancing her wisdom so she unlocked mental energy last year when Robin gave her access and in April this year Robin gave her the Perfected triple human meridian system as a birthday gift unlocking her potential to make chi, which she naturally generated. She produced life essence thanks to the gamer space, psychic energy and True Qi during summer break.” Chasm Might said.

“She’s quite talented, that child.” Esper said, surprised that someone could achieve so much despite their powers not being on that.

“I thought the same but when all’s said and done, both twins are extraordinary to be honest. Even without the Hero’s Rival title, she’s been keeping up with Robin in almost everything except strength, which is his forte.”

“Right. So that is why huh? When you’ve fully adapted to these blended energies, let’s call Mephesto and experiment with the extent of these forces and see what you can do with it. It is a rare chance to possibly expand our power. You should also get used to the flow pattern of the areas to be able to parallel channels like the kids. If it actually works, next time you fight Time Tempest, you might just splatter him into a bloody mist.” Esper said.

Chasm Might grinned when he heard this and actually got excited at the sight. The capacity to evaporate one of his greatest adversaries and one of earth’s biggest threats for good was a great prospect.

“Oh right, did you hear that the other continents have been in quite a bickering mood with the government trying to get their heroes to form a Hero’s Academy.” Chasm Might asked.

Esper chuckled, “I have, it is quite the comedy. Like a parent trying to tell children what to do.” he said and both men laughed and shook their heads before they decided the conversation was done and went to prepare for the first classes of the day.

***

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Like a machine gun blasting out, Robin was punching the wall as he tried to mimic a move from the anime. It was a barrage of punches like a gatling gun that used spring force to launch dozens of punches in moments.

PA!

As he stopped, his arm actually snapped back with the sound of a rubber band and he huffed as he looked at the barrage of fist shaped punches against the wall.

On the side, Double’s clone sat on a table with a camera and computer and Robin walked over. The clone pressed play and he watched as a slow motion view started to play. There were a few cameras spread around and anchored with a strong support so that the shaking did not rattle the camera or fall over.

Robin saw how his arm extended from the front before the back tried to follow through, thought it was a lot better after he became conscious of this and was actively winding his arm back up on the return but he would still lose about 10% but when the punch returned and he was already throwing out his left punch, the right arm was in the process of tightening again.

“I’m impressed, in just a week’s time since starting class and going through internal force classes, you’re able to take the parallel channeling and turn it into parallel thinking. To punch and wind up at the same time is like drawing a triangle and a circle at the same time.” Double said.

“Did you count how many punches I sent?” Robin asked.

“Yeah, in 20 seconds you shout out… 82 punches, that's a little over 4 punches per second. Considering the damage you do, this capacity would probably actually be a little faster than the number of bullets a gatling gun can fire when shooting .58 caliber rounds.” he said.

“It sucks that I can’t last longer.” Robin said.

“You’ll get used to it. You’ve been getting much better as your psychic energy adapts to your body as well. After all, your skill in control is also growing.” he said.

Robin nodded as he examined everything and stretched. “I think I might actually need that trait.” he muttered

“Huh? What trait?” Double asked, serious.

“Oh, it's nothing serious. I've noticed that my kinetic vision is starting to be unable to follow my body speed. Along with that is a trait that makes my hardening as strong as it normally is on all my joints but they gain better flexibility. That will mean my hardened joints will move more naturally and be less restricted by the hardening without compromising my defense.” he said.

Double’s face softened and nodded. “What is the kinetic vision one, It affects your eyes and brain so it is a bit serious.” He said.

“Oh, it's not that serious. “ he said and looked through the Trait shop and showed him.

“The prices for your merged power is always breathtaking. Just to prevent side effects from happening it costs so much.” Double said.

“I can’t really do much about it, that's why I save so much money and exp crystals when I can.” Robin said and purchased the traits.

The amount was instantly deducted from his inventory and his body momentarily glowed. He checked his status after that.

He smiled when he saw his level had jumped again thanks to the upgrade to the Atlas stone. Maybe also because he was training while spinning his life essence and psychic energy, it also began to infuse into the vessels and nerves and make him stronger. The most surprising was the natural advancement of wisdom, something that had never really happened before.

With a smile, he only added the 25 stats required to assimilate the traits.

He naturally collapsed but his brain was much stronger than before and he didn’t fall unconscious like he originally did. His brain did continue to become more efficient to use psychic energy and this time his brain signals skyrocketed for a moment before everything began to radically improve in efficiency and the speed of the transmission doubled.

Notice

Traits have been assimilated, feedback recorded. Scanning for full analysis.

This was another thing that was noticed. Depending on the trait, it improved skill levels or increased stats.

He let his mind clear out as he felt the probing until it finally stopped and he heard the ding when messages appeared and he was focused on something.

Notice

Hardened Flexibility joints has increased dexterity by 25 points

Stolen story; please report.

Efficient Brain Capacity has increased wisdom by 15 points and several skills have leveled up

Kinetic vision has increased by 10 levels and evolved into Enhanced Vision Level 10

High speed mental processing has increased by 20 levels and evolved into Accelerated Perception Level 10

Accelerated Perception

Level 10

A unique skill which allows the user to perceive everything at an accelerated rate and analyze information at much faster speeds then normal.

This skill triples Intelligence when active.

IQ is generally calculated by 1 wis to 50 int due to the rapid increase of mental processing.

Enhanced Vision

Level 10

Vision that has gone beyond Kinetic vision. When focused you can activate this with or without Accelerated perception as your eyes are capturing everything efficiently but the capacity enhances many fold when used together.

Without accelerated perception, user can see, in detail, a moving object at over 500 km/h

With accelerated perception, user can see, in detail, and react to a moving object moving faster than Mach 1, aka the speed of sound

A moment later, Robin felt the world seemingly freeze around him and he was moving a little slow but he felt his psychic energy running fast in his mind. He closed his eyes and felt that accelerated flow of energy and soon found the flow going through his eyes and restricted that before he analyzed the flow in his brain and started to actively control it.

He learned the way to activate and deactivate the skills and small things to improve it, mainly just spinning the energy as he had learned to make it more stable.

When he finally calmed down, the world was back to normal and he smiled because he felt everything was so much more vibrate and his eyes were catching so much more.

“It seems you got more than you bargained for.” the clone said.

“The efficiency trait evolved some of my mental skills. Kinetic vision for Enhanced vision and High speed mental processing for Accelerated Perception. If I hadn't noticed a flow of psychic energy that caused these, I would have thought they were traits.” Robin said and got up. “Time for me again.” He said and walked to the middle and his arms wound up again and he got ready to try his barrage punch again.

That said, he activated the two skills and when he finally heard ‘Go’ he opened his eyes and moved.

Although the world seemed stagnant, his body moved, though slower but his eyes caught the moment his arm started to extend. He made a conscious effort to release the entire spring instead and it burst out and came back without unwinding.

He went for minutes even as he punched and let go of a flurry to the point that his control of his arms actually became a habit to prevent the spring load being launched like a second punch and when he personally decided to stop and calmed his perception down and sighed. He blinked a bit as the enhanced vision was still something to get used to.

With a small shake of his head, he turned and walked over but Double was staring at him.

“What?” he asked.

He blinked and looked at him before making a straight face, “You’re a freaking monster.” he said and showed him the camera view and even in that way his fists were moving ‘normal’ speeds while he saw the cone where he breaks the sound barrier.

“How many punches did I send?” he asked after watching it all.

“I counted about 500 in 60 seconds. Well within the range of an actual gatling gun shooting .30 caliber rounds.” he said.

Robin grinned, happy that the move was actually possible. “Heck yeah, the flexibility and enhanced mental process worked just right. Being able to see the extension and control my body without letting it do weird things like before is so much better even if I don’t it has the double impact.” He said.

“True but that could also be a move of its own.” He said.

“I know but I need to properly train it so that I can do it willingly and can wind it up or it does nothing for me if I have to separate a part of my attention to charge up my punch.” He said.

After he said that, he began to move his body and it drew Doubles attention.

“What are you doing?” He asked.

“Hmm? Well efficient brain capacity increases the speed of all signals going through my body so it enhances how fast I register my senses and even reaction time. I'm just trying to get a feel for it.” he said.

Double looked at him and frowned, “Now that he mentions it… how is he so casual about suddenly increasing his brain efficiency.” he thought and took a moment to whisper a question to the system and ask what kind of effect it actually had.

Notice

Efficient brain capacity doubles the speed and efficiency in which brain signals travel through the brain and body. It improves the processing power of information captured by the body. It has a minor effect of improving memory storage and improves skills related to perception and sensory organs.

After reading it he suddenly realized what it was, Robin was now processing information twice as fast even in his natural normal state. His body was capturing sensory output inside and outside of his body and processing it to a greater degree.

“Robin, I'm going to do a weak qi infused slap. I want you to tell me how much it hurts.” he said and got up.

Robin stopped and just extended his arm while unwinding the springs to expose his arm and unhardened to leave just his bare body exposed.

Double just lightly coated his hand and slapped. The blunt force was instantly deflected but the qi hit the energy of his body.

“It’s a dull pain, not too serious.” He said.

He nodded and raised his hand again but with more force but he just said that same thing until it started to produce heat.

“The heat feels… how do I say it… spicy. Like it’s sizzling where you hit but it's already dispersing.” He said and rubbed his arm that had turned a little red and began to channel life essence through his arm and then Titan force, which absorbed the heat.

“Is there a reason for this?” Robin asked.

“Yes… I asked the system what improved with your efficient brain capacity and it improved your sensory processing capacity as well. That means you would feel pain more keenly and the message came across faster.” He said.

“No it didn’t.” Robin said, “It says it improves skills related to sensory organs. Only the speed at which my mind registers pain and other touch comes faster. Instead it improves my reaction time against threats. An example is feeling heat faster and which areas of my body are gathering more heat and when I get hurt and where. As a person with a rubber body, most if not everyone has blunt force resistance or immunity so we tend to not feel pain from common blunt injuries. The presence of so many people in the school with energy is simply because everyone filtered so many specific talents but not everyone can use it without actively searching for it. I mean Marcus only now started to train with chi and I heard most of the kong clan students are trying to make Ki to enhance their physical power with it. If compared to the normal person, it would be amazing to find someone with a normal power and using internal energy. I mean, Beat Springs, who trained for nearly a decade already, only has some level of control over life force, not even life essence like many students here.” He said.

Double frowned when he heard that but it was also true. The number of people who are not born with an internal energy or energy based ability are actually a minority. It just so happens that certain powers or parts of powers bloom with internal energy.

“Also, if I were to fight someone with a cutting edge, I would already be hardened and when I harden, it dulls my sense of pain. It wasn’t a random choice that I picked this trait to buy. There are others such as sensory upgrade, it would have enhanced my vision but would have also made all my senses more keen and actually made my pain receptors more sensitive but the speed it transmitted would be the same, just that it transmitted larger loads.”

“So that’s it.” He said, realizing just how much thought Robin had put into it. “What do you plan for next?” He asked.

“I’ve mostly been making basic moves, I'm not sure what to do about special moves… what I once thought was a killer move is… uh… feeling lackluster.” He said.

“Hmm? You designed a killer move? What is it like?” Double asked.

“I call it burnout. With my arm wound up, I punch someone but don’t extend. Punching them into a wall or into the ground, I force my arm to spin for as long as my arm is wound up.” He said.

He said it casually but Double turned pale when he heard it.

“Ah… I… I think that is more than enough for a killer move. Unless someone is heavily defensive, most people are likely going to be twisted and ripped to shreds.” he said with all honestly he could muster. “Especially if you add your other energies to enhance the initial punch and damage bone and organs. In all honesty, I would avoid ever using that move.” he said.

“I’ve used it before, it was really ineffective. There was this guy with this weird wax ability that he could produce wax and make it as hard as steel but even when punching and spinning the most I did was melt some of it through friction.” He said.

“Yeah… I would hope so since you didn’t even have world power at the time.” Double replied.

“True I did grow a lot after I got it since I run while it pressures me almost daily.” He said.

“Right… that’s right, you learned to use that blood pressure trick right?” He asked.

“Yeah, it consumes my life essence though and it really hurts to use. I've actually asked the system for traits that would enhance the effect and reduce the side effect of this but it actually hasn’t discovered anything. The most it suggested is to keep growing my body and maybe enhance my biological heart and circulation system. It’s not a natural usage of my power anyways but if I need to I can use it.” He said.

“Right… you were already punching at mach 1 when you were training the gatling punches. Why not try seeing the speed. Also, you should try to channel your life force while you do that. Your blood vessels were evolved during the transformation to channel this energy so it is possible that flowing energy could reduce the side effect of burning your body's own life essence and instead it uses your excess.” He said.

Robin’s face brightened when he heard this. It also went to show his critical thinking and creative thought process.

Robin hopped over to the middle of the platform and began to channel just life essence only on his main vessels while spinning before he breathed deeply.

The next moment, Double saw his legs budge as Robin’s veins swelled and pumped up and his body trembled.

That said, surprisingly Robin coughed and quickly stopped the process.

He looked at his hands for a moment.

“Did something go wrong?” He asked.

“No, it’s just that my control was just a little off.” He said and shook his body but the next moment, Double saw Robin channeling both life force and psychic energy through his entire body before he did it again and opened his eyes.

THUMP!

His legs bulged again but with more blood and pumped.

THUMP!

His heart was actually audible from his seat and Double was shocked as he saw Robin start to turn more pinkish colored as blood started to pump.

He was surprised when his legs gathered into a large balloon and pumped one final time and his chest even expanded for a moment and heatwaves started to come off.

Robin looked at his hands and grinned. “This is it.” He said and turned while his spring formed. To him, the world rapidly slowed down but he moved much faster and his punch extended fast even in his eyes.

It took a blink of an eye in his vision for his fist to hit and pierce right through the rock and out the other before a lot of cracks spread out and he pulled back, fully wound up as he first shot it.

“Heck yeah!” He shouted as he calmed his own heart down and after a moment his blood pressure returned to normal.

“Robin… what was that?” Double asked.

“I finally realized why it was so hard to control my heart to be as strong as before. I needed to parallel channel psychic energy as well to give me a heightened control of my body to properly and stably make my heart pump while not causing my body pain because I was getting distracted. The fact that I am also channeling both energies means I am also enhancing my punches. This is awesome, if I can learn to skillfully move in this state it will be so hard to catch me.” He said and laughed.

Double blinked and looked down at his screen and replayed the video but he had to slow down the speed even further.

He found Robin next to him the next time he looked up and looked him up and down, “Are you fine?” he asked.

“Yep… the technique still consumes life essence but now I know that I need to properly flow my energy to safely use that. I think the next thing that is important is improving my mastery of my energies and learning to move in that state.” He said.

Double nodded as he agreed with the boy. Robin calmed himself down and started training his parallel channeling, which became easier with the new traits.

Down below, Marcus looked up after the immense explosion caused by Robin happened.

“That is… he actually broke through this shit!” he thought and felt extremely angry but a shout called back his attention.

“If you’ve got time to think about Robin’s absurd usage of his powers then you have time to train.” Double called out.

Marcus growled a bit in his giant ape form but he calmed himself down and focused. His body was already much stronger with the activation of his life force and his vitality was vibrant, especially in his heart.

That said he ignored it before starting to channel Chi once more.

It took a bit to build the system and he felt the vague ambient energy enter and slowly increase the quantity. After a moment, his mouth opened and double tossed two pills that he swallowed. Soon an eruption of chi came and his body began to absorb it into his system and increase the density to a more desirable quantity for his giant mass.

It took a bit to absorb before it was running through his body.

“There, that is all the pills Chasm Might left you and it should be the sufficient amount.” Double said.

When Marcus heard that he started to channel his stored life force.

It ran through his body and entered the acupoints that were running the chi.

When it entered the first, he stopped flowing naturally and began to dump the energy into the flow. Life force left the blood vessel at the acupoint and was spun around by the chi and dragged into his meridians where it made it spin alongside the chi, hitting the acupoints on the channels he could touch before it returned to his dantian where it all mixed up.

The energy was a bit uncomfortable as it didn’t belong but he held it and made it flow and channel alongside the chi. Naturally this also meant that there was a rapidly rising quantity of energy rising.

It kept spinning until it came out of the bottom before running through his body and filling every acupoint. His life force reacted to this. He was still draining his stored life force but the life force that was channeling on all the acupoints actually started to stimulate his entire body and draw it out slowly. The first life force to empty was in his heart dantian but it didn’t stop.

He groaned as the life force of his blood started to slowly concentrate as they passed through the acupoints so it slowly absorbed it.

His body naturally had to preserve itself so his body released more and more from his cells and the dangerous process started.

If it was just life force into life essence, the problem would not exist but it wasn’t.

Slowly his fur started to grow and soon his back started to turn silver like those of a silverback gorilla.

What was mystical was that each hair that turned silver seemed to flow and glow.

His face and body also seemed to get more frail as his life force concentrated in his energy flow and the pressure increased but so did the blending of the energies.

Soon his entire back was silver and it slowly spread across his body as he seemed to age into something that looked like an ancient ape with full silver fur. Even calling it a yeti would have worked because he fit the appearance.

That said, when it did get like this, at the final moments, the separate energies finally produced blended energy that gathered and began to absorb all the two blended mixes.

It absorbed everything and released a life force rich chi through his meridians and filled each acupoint. Spinning like a vortex, almost half of that power leaked into his blood and he began to growl as he clenched his hands and waves of aura started to gather.

“Distribute your stats!” Double said.

When he said that, Marcus opened his eyes and suddenly his extra stat points from his stored level gathered around him and filled his body and he seemed to turn into energy.

The next moment he roared as his aura began to strengthen and form a true flame like wave while his body began to expand and fast. From 16 meters all the way to 25, his body rapidly grew but the next moment a shocking thing happened as everyone watched the giant that nearly reached the roof.

His body began to shrink back and it went down until it was 7 meters and stopped. Slowly the glow of the stats vanished into his body until he was fully enhanced.

Marcus stood there but he wasn’t completely an ape anymore. His face was humanoid and the front of his chest was fully bare of fur but his arms and back were covered in silver fur and he had all of his youth of a 16 year old.

Everyone looked at him and started to notice the changes. His hands were purely human hands as were his feet.

The aura of Ki was blazing strong after being fully created and his life force restored by the system. It now naturally gathered in his heart before channeling to his dantian just like Harold's chi channeled into his head to make mana. Ki was moving through his body and blood naturally infused through both systems.

“Amazing.” Marcus said.

He returned to normal and shrank down and the fur vanished but his body was as strongly built as before.

“Good job, you’ve properly created Ki, it is a dangerous process for sure and you would have been left weak for a few days or even weeks if not for the system.” Double said.

Marcus nodded and looked around before grinning when he saw the students looking at him.

“I guess I should really learn martial arts now.” He said before frowning, “I really don’t know how my clan will take it but I've not really changed my ability, just refined it.” He said in thought, “If I had a tail, they would be happy to call me a monkey king as well.” He said.

“Why not. I'm sure if you train properly, you might actually get called that. Your hero name isn’t set in stone.” Double said.

Marcus smiled at the comment but inside he actually was worried about what those idiots would say. Nonetheless, it was his life, they just wanted a hero so he would give them what they wanted but following the path he wanted.

“Come on, I want to see how much my strength has changed.” He said and jumped to the other side as he transformed again before he turned around, “Mind your own fucking business or I will test my strength out on you!” He shouted.

Many of them were actually scared of that happening but among them, the stronger students of the class were not.

“So that’s Ki huh?” Robin said, looking down from above. “It really did refine the animalistic side to be more blended.”

“Reminds me of the spinoff transformation from the old dragon ball.” the double clone said.

Robin was confused but the clone smiled and showed the super old anime and Robin finally understood what the jokes that had been running around during the presentation and the in depth class of Ki. Ironically, no one could escape jokes being made but Robin found that it was a lot better this way.

He actually asked about the Ki of this anime and how it worked and it was basically the same. Of course, it required quantity but the quality was enough to cause a big change because now, Marcus had the strength of a 25 meter tall King Kong honed into a 7 meter tall giant human.

When he looked back down, Robin was shown the clear brute strength of this and even more because Ki was being channeled to enhance his body and increase his speed.

He was still pretty slow in Robin’s eyes but he knew it wouldn’t stay like that. From now on, Marcus would be constantly increasing the amount and adapting his body, it is likely that his transformation would shrink down to his natural height when he was fully adapted. The concentrated power of king kong in a human form.

“His family is not going to be happy after working so hard to get a combined ape and giant. Then again, if they want that, they can pay the club to be allowed to use the trait system and give giantification to one of their people. No one honestly wants to become a weapon for another.” Robin said.

“Chasm Might is already preparing for this. If that clan could actually do something to him, he wouldn’t have actually helped.” the clone siad.

“Right, I can’t be left behind.” Robin said and returned to training as well.

“Oh right, be prepared because next month will be another internship. Because the east coast is so danger free after the event last year with Time tempest and the crime bosses from Virginia all the way to New York, students will be going to different cities instead. Those with strongman graded strength will even be sent to more dangerous cities while weaker vigilantes will go to safer areas as backups.” Double said.

“Already?” Robin asked.

“It's being graded as bi-monthly test so work hard.” double said.

Robin frowned and knew he couldn’t waste time so he started to train harder to control the flow. There were two weeks and he wanted to at least be able to flow his primary vessels at the unconscious level.

The others all soon heard the same and in their thoughts, they began to finalize things from purchasing traits to enhance their abilities and more.

Ruth obtained the same efficient brain capacity as Robin. Later the same day, he taught her how to activate advanced perception. She felt her brain hurt from the unfamiliar process but it was another mental training that she could do and honestly, it also improves the capacity to parallel channel their energies.

The last thing Robin would train is naturally compressing Titan force but it would be a while for his body to contain the sufficient capacity again so instead he just trained in his natural energies most of the time.
