Apparently we were being graded for the duels
The principal had called everyone that scored a high grade over
It was me, Nagumo, Jaclyn and Ningxin
The door creaked open
The principal had a menacing aura
The room had a red carpet with a shelf filled with books from different eras of history
Within the center of the room was a wooden desk where the principal was sitting upon a large chair
From his large build to his face cloaked within shadow
Nagumo whispered into my ear
“Doesn’t he look kind of scary”?
He was slightly shaking
He’s overreacting
“You’re getting too worried for no reason, stay calm”.
His voice was deep and rough as he spoke silently
The pressure was insanely heavy
Even Ningxin couldn’t utter a single word
“I’m going to assign you all on a task to get some experience, it won’t be easy fighting monsters but as future adventurers, you’ll need to fight for humanity, your generation is our future, your generation has the most potential. You’re going to get an A+ class adventurer protecting you just in case”.
Adventurers are not judged by their power or skill alone but their overall ability to achieve their functions
So the best fighter in the world with an F class power would get the adventure ranking of B due to it being the middle of the road.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
“You all are going to protect someone for around three days, there will be assassins and monsters that will be drawn to her energy, try to keep her entertained as much as possible while keeping her safe”.
His eyes pierced through our souls
A feeling of submission against him
The pressure pushed both Ningxin and Nagumo onto the floor
They were forced onto their knees
I was able to barely stand
Jaclyn was somehow brushing it off as if it were nothing
What was this power
“Holy shit, I can’t even stand, I’m on my goddamn knees”.
Ningxin’s mouth was still shut as if it were trapped
“Well mr principal, can you at least please tone down your aura a little”.
Jaclyn was the first person that dared to speak to the principal
The pressure increased tenfold
I was on my knees, I could feel my throat drying up
Every time I swallow, it hurts
“What the fuck, principal”!!?
Both Nagumo and Ningxin were bleeding out of their noses as if they were barely alive. Their veins were bursting out of their heads. Their eyes turned red.
Jaclyn looked like she was slightly struggling but she wasn’t on her knees yet
“This is my first request of you all, escape this room”.
“What kind of goddamn power is this”!?
“This is not just a room, this is a different dimension! This is his ultimate ability”.
An ultimate ability can only be accessed by those who have an S- power or above with a 10/10 mastery with their power.
“My Queen, stop time”.
Time had stopped, the pressure was gone
The sudden change in pressure was nauseating, my ears started to blank out as it became harder and harder to breathe
Blood rushed out from my ears as I began vomiting
The taste of food rushed out as my throat started burning as if I ate something spicy
My eyes started wavering
As if I was about to faint
I forced my legs to move out of the carpeted room
The muscles on my legs were straining, it felt compressed
10 seconds had already passed since I stopped time
My head hurts
I’m so dizzy
I have to get out of this room quickly before my time runs out
Too many changes in pressure will rupture me from the inside out
I’m a dead man if I don’t escape
But it’s too far from here, I can’t give up I want to live, I want to get out
Why did I even stop time in the first place, it would’ve been easier if I just crawled out of here
I’m so stupid, I always detriment myself for no reason
There’s no point if I’m a detriment to myself and the people around me
I’m just a nuisance to everybody
I don’t deserve to have this kind of power
But I don’t want to die
I don’t want to lose everything
I want to survive
My eyes
I can’t see anything
I ran and ran
I tried to run
I felt the door frame as time began flowing
