Soul Avatar

Unusual Ability

The Imperial family, guards, maids, butlers and priests were shocked by the attributes of the otherworlders.

Half of them had extremely rare attributes and the others, though they had nothing special, their affinities on their attributes were very high.

Indeed, they were all already very strong even though they had just awakened!

There was no doubt that in a few weeks they would be the strongest people in the Empire.

Now, there were still two people left to awaken and the atmosphere was very lively.

"You want to go first, Orion ?"

Austin asked with a smile, causing several girls to blush.

"N-No, it's okay. I will go after you."

Orion also replied with a smile, but there were no blushing girls around but concerned people.

Orion was so different from his classmates that the people of the empire wondered for a second if he was not a random guy from their Empire.

"Okay", Austin nodded and walked toward the stele.

Placing his right hand on it, he waited.

[Austin Lachman, Blue Fire Unique attribute]

"A-Amazing!"

The usual calm Emperor shouted.

They all turned toward him.

The Emperor recomposed himself and spoke.

"Cough...Unique attributes are really rare, so I was surprised."

Unique attributes are derivated from their normal attributes. They are stronger than the normal ones but difficult to control. For example, Liana had a unique attribute. A golden fire capable of healing even serious injuries.

"W-Wow as expected of Austin"

"How unfair! Plot armor, I say!"

Austin's two friends, Jake and Jaxon, supported him.

"Look, Elena, your future husband hit the jackpot!"

Daisy elbowed Elena teasingly.

"Sh-Shut up! Dont' speak s-so loud!"

Elena replied angrily with a blush, but she was somewhat happy and proud.

But two people weren't happy. Andrew and Jordan were glaring daggers at Austin.

Austin, unaware of that, formed a beautiful blue fire in his hand. All the people gasped, it was a very beautiful dark blue fire.

'Now I won't be helpless like before.'

Austin thought as he squeezed the blue fire. Since the incident he had been feeling really pathetic.

He couldn't do anything but watch from the beginning with the driver to the end with Orion.

But now he had the power to defend himself and his classmates until they could go back on Earth.

Fortunately, there was a way to go back to Earth. That's why his classmates could be that cheerful. They were confident that with their newfound power they could easily find a soul relic and go back to Earth.

Of course, several of his classmates were just trying to think about something else to not break. It was another world where danger could hit anytime and their families were not there to support them.

The only solution was to support each other as they were classmates and fellow otherworlders now.

Austin had every intention of helping his friends in this aspect and getting back to Earth with everyone.

"H-Hum Austin ?"

"Hm ?"

Austin turned around to see Orion looking awkwardly at him.

Orion was feeling awkward seeing Austin staring at his palm like thinking about the truth of the universe. His position was very similar to those dramatic heroes in animes and manga...

"A-Ah my bad." Austin, embarrassed, got off of the autel.

"Tsk what a show-off, right brother ?" Vincent sneered at Austin.

Jordan didn't answer to his younger brother, but there was no doubt that he was thinking something worse than him about Austin.

"Then you are the last Lord Orion."

The Emperor said with a smile.

"Y-Yes!"

Before heading toward the stele, he glanced at his only 'friend' if he could call her that, Liana.

The latter, noticing Orion's gaze, smiled gently at him.

Several teeth gritting sounds echoed in the hall at that.

Orion was happy and became more confident. He quickly headed and placed his left hand on the stele.

[Orion.....Kenway, Fix...? Unique attribute]

There was a slight pause in the ethereal voice after saying his name and attributes, but nobody noticed it.

*Gasps*

Everyone in the class was stunned, there was a second person with a unique attribute and it was none other than Orion!

Orion was feeling extremely happy and excited.

'I can't believe this!'

"Hum, Lord Orion ?"

"Yes ?" Orion turned toward the Emperor.

"Can you tell us what your ability is? We haven't seen anything like that until today."

"Ah yes."

Orion replied with a nod.

He was also eager to understand his ability.

He closed his eyes and concentrated.

After the awakening, all the information about his ability will be sent to the brain and Orion was trying to figure out his ability like that.

But the moment he understood what his ability was, his smile vanished from his face.

'Wh-Why...?'

He tried again to concentrate. Maybe he didn't understand his ability, but it was useless. He did understand his ability without doubt.

"Lord Orion ?"

The Emperor called out to Orion, who was strangely silent.

"Y-yes...?"

"Hm...your ability ?"

Orion really wanted to run away, but it would be more pathetic, so he replied with a quivering voice.

"I-I can fix br-broken ob-objects..."

"Eh...?"

Nobody heard him as his voice lowered in the end.

Orion took a deep breath and repeated in a louder voice.

"I can fi-fix broken objects..."

""""...""""

A long awkward silence permeated the hall.

"AAHAHAHA! You heard him Brother! He can fix broken objects! AHAAHA! That's perfect Orion! You will be able to fix our weapons if they are damaged!"

Vincent burst out laughing upon hearing the ability of Orion. His brother Jordan was just looking at Orion like trash. If before he considered Orion like an insect, then now he was even lower than a bug in his mind.

"Pfft!"

"Ahahah!"

"So funny!"

Soon more than half of the class were laughing loudly.

Andrew was trying hard not to laugh but his three friends, John, Tyler and Joseph weren't able to hold back and rolled on the ground.

Orion was red from humiliation and wanted to bury himself in the ground. He didn't dare to look at his classmates or even Liana.

The knights, maids, butlers and priests averted their gazes.

The Imperial family didn't know what to say, though Liana was very angry at Orion's classmates.

For her, Orion was the most gentle and innocent person she had met in her life and mocking someone like him was too much.

"Do-Don't worry Lord Orion, no abilities are useless in our world..."

The Emperor tried to cheer Orion up, but he was just rubbing more salt into the wound.

Orion was looking at the ground with a bitter expression.

'It was obvious for someone like me...I am just an idiot to even have expected something...'

"Lord Orion..." Liana wanted to comfort him but...

"Ahahah! Even his family must be laughing hard!"

"!"

'Orion, you will be someone great in the future'

'My son will be a great man.'

'Big Brother is the best!'

What his family said echoed in his mind again, but it was tearing him apart now.

Soon, tears flowed out profusely from his eyes. Then he ran away from the hall.
