CHAPTER 40: MEETING A RANKED SPECIALIST She raised an eye brow. "I don't feel any power coming off you, you seem plain weak as a worm. Whether my assumptions are true or not I don't know but Valtor Rose did seem quite interested in you. Like you were some special guy, he told us to tell you this.'AS MY NUMBER ONE STUDENT DONT SLACK OFF ON YOUR FORCE CONTROL". Some might say he thought of you as a successor." Marko's eyes beamed wide. "And where is he now?" She laughed loudly. "Hahahaha, you really are dedicated to the cause worm. Valtor left a week ago to deal with the urgent rise of terrors in the far region. No one has heard a peep from him since then." "Oh?" Marko sounded disheartened. "What about number zero? He is in the school right?" "The search is still ongoing, even now we still have yet to identify the mutant within the academy. We suspect it has blended well with our society for it to go unnoticed even with our investigation but aside from team five

CHAPTER 41: OLD FRIENDS

CHAPTER 41: OLD FRIENDS [NAME: SASAKA] [AGE: 22] [GRADE: A] [RANK: SPECIALIST] [GIFT: DEXTERITY & ???] "Wow you really do get everything in one go." Marko was surprised. "Way to go system." Marko was not fully positive about the new development or his current state but the system seemed to be bonding with him. Could it be a good or bad thing, that he could no discern at the moment only that he would have to keep trying to understand his powers. There was also the case as to why Valtor took all the glory for slaying the high rank terror. Marko was not one keen to glory but he suspected Valtor did it for his own good and to draw attention from him. [IT IS MY DUTY TO SECURE YOUR SAFETY AND ANALYZE POTENTIAL THREATS] An idea popped into his head. "Do you think you can find the mutant with your scanning thingy?" [YES! BUT IF THR MUTANT HAS MASKED ITS PRESENCE FOR THIS LONG I DEDUCE I WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO DETECT THEM AT CLOSE PROXIMITY] Marko who had never heard the

CHAPTER 42: THE NEWS

CHAPTER 42: THE NEWS "I understand you are in a not so good state now Marko but that is what makes what I'm about to say even harder to..." Selena said as she sat by the bed. Marko raised an eye and stared at her. "Hmm? Whatever it is, I'll hear it." Selena looked at him and sighed heavily. "I am not being selfish about this but I wand you to pay close attention to this." "Huh?" Marko huffed. "What is it?" Selena swallowed down hard before saying. "The light festival is coming up in a week's time, I am so happy you woke up before then. Around this time is when we assure the people of the schools reputation and the power of the gifteds." "There is a tournament that we usually have around this time and the only people allowed to participate are those who have been on team extermination assignments, that is the only qualification. I don't want to sound overly forceful but you have to partake in this tournament." She waited to see his reaction which was

CHAPTER 43: THE TRUE MEANING OF GIFTS

CHAPTER 43: THE TRUE MEANING OF GIFTS Marko stepped out of the door to see Ted waiting for him outside. "Ted," he stopped himself short unsure of what to say. "You are off to see the old geezer, I'll walk ya there." Ted said as he led the way. Most of the walk was quiet with none of them uttering a word. The hall seemed even longer than usual. Marko was a bit surprised to find Ted taking him down routes even he did not know off. He thought that perhaps Ted was a regular at the headmaster's. Marko sighed. "Ted..." "Don't bring it up." Ted said under his breath. Marko continued, having not heard him. "It really means a lot to have you by my side. That was I won't feel lonely anymore." Ted raised and eyebrow but refused to look his way. "When did you get it?" "Huh?" Marko almost had not heard him from him speaking in a normal tone. "Get it?" "Don't play dumb, your gift when did you get it?" Ted asked again with a little hint of anger. Mar

CHAPTER 44: MEETING WITH HEADMASTER HAVADR Perhaps some of you have wondered what it means to have a purpose in life. What is my standing, what is the gift I have to share within me to the world. And not realizing that gift, our purpose and giving in to the darkness is what we call a terror. Failure, loss and hopelessness. The world operates round these two concepts but there are those caught in the middle those with no definite side and these are called anomalies... "You wanted to see me sir?" Marko asked the old man with long grey hair before him. The headmaster of the gifted academy wore his usual silver robe with gold lines and the crest of the academy on his chest. Seeing Headmaster Havadr Damocles again sent him jitters, his gold eyes scanning him with calmness and an indepth sense. "Please sit." He gestured to the chair before him. "Thank you sir." Marko said as he sat down. "System, what is his level?" [COMPUTING DATA] "Mr Riv

CHAPTER 45: THE GAMBLE

My Limitless System/FantasyLord

CHAPTER 45: THE GAMBLE "Now Mister Marko, what makes you special?" The headmaster threw the ball at an insane speed. "MACH ONE SMASH!!" Mach was a ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound in the medium which the object travels. It was usually used to describe a supersonic speeds; the Mach number. BOOM!! "ACCCCKK!!" Marko felt his body shatter as a huge hole appeared in his chest next to his heart. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" The Headmaster frowned at him. "What a sorry sight. After all the praises Valtor gave you, like you were some big thing in this world. I actually wanted to believe it." Marko dropped to the ground with blood gushing out of his chest in great quantity. "He missed my heart on purpose, dammit it hurts. He's stronger than the high rank, I can't use the power of the limitless eyes or my lifespan will get cut. But I have to make a gamble." The headmaster kept his distance and prepared another ball on his hand. This time I will aim fo

CHAPTER 46: THE TEACHER'S CONFERENCEA big round table surrounded by numerous seats dominated the room at the top of the tower. The room, with its high ceiling and grand windows, overlooked the sprawling grounds of the gifted academy. Here, the prized teachers, the protectors and mentors of the nation's most promising youths, gathered for a crucial meeting."We have to make sure the tournament this time around goes well," said one of the teachers, his voice tense with the weight of the responsibility."Since when has it never gone well?" another teacher replied, a hint of exasperation in her tone. She was a veteran, having witnessed many such gatherings, each fraught with its own set of challenges."The circumstances in Saceria make this even harder on us," interjected a third teacher, his brow furrowed in concern. "The faith of the people in us is very weak at this moment. They doubt our capabilities more than ever.""But we are the only line of defense for the people," another teach

SIDE STORY: MARKO & TERESA – THE TURNING TIDEIn the weeks that followed, life continued its unrelenting pace. The days grew shorter, and the chill of winter began to creep into the air. The small village, nestled between rolling hills and lush forests, prepared for the harsh season ahead. Despite the looming hardships, Marko and Teresa faced each day with the same determination and resilience that had carried them through so many challenges before.One frosty morning, Teresa woke to find the ground covered in a thin layer of snow. She watched the delicate flakes drift down from the sky, her breath visible in the cold air. Marko was already up, his boundless energy pushing him out of bed even in the early hours."Good morning, Mom!" he called out cheerfully, rubbing the sleep from his eyes."Good morning, my dear," Teresa replied, her voice warm despite the chill. "I see you're up and ready to face the day."Marko grinned. "Of course! There's always so much to do." He paused, noticing
