Chapter 3

"What's happening?"

The middle-aged man frowned after seeing the extreme reaction from the stone. Instead of reflecting energy back to the stone, Mike's body kept absorbing energy. It didn't stop and continued to do so. Until a minute passes, when the energy retracted back to the black stone, turning it yellow.

"E-Rank?" The middle-aged man looked at the stone making a dumbfounded expression. He couldn't understand why an E-Rank Core would make such a huge reaction.

"What happened? Why did the stone give such a reaction?" Another middle-aged man looked at them and asked. Mike and the middle-aged man on his stage shook their head, not knowing what to say. But Mike had his gaze somewhere else.

At the same time,

Another middle-aged man spoke "It must be because of him. But how could an E-Rank core make such a reaction?"

They discussed with each other and finally shook their head. Walking towards Mike, the middle-aged man from his stage spoke "Student, we are not sure what caused this change. But it is no doubt that you have awakened an E-Rank Core. You can leave the stage, now."

They didn't even ask Mike's ability and even if they did, he wouldn't have an answer. After all, he was beaming with joy just because he successfully awakened the innate ability.

Although everyone was discussing, there was a middle-aged man that was a little far away from others. He had brown hair and looked more like a foreigner than others

He picked his phone and dialed a number. When the phone was picked, he spoke "Master! I have encountered someone with the same situation as yours during awakening."

In the faraway state of North America,

A bulky man was laying under the sun, near the beach. He was only wearing shorts. While his toned muscles were tanned, his face was still pale, wearing sunglasses. His body was large, almost seven feet, and big as a small car. Picking up his phone, he listened and spoke "Are you sure?"

"Yes, master! His body completely swallowed the energy from the stone but only awakened E-Rank. It was surprising since in your case, you had awakened D-Rank."

He took off his sunglasses and hoarsely spoke "Do everything you can to recruit him! It's time to awaken another beast." While saying this, a big smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, master!" The middle-aged man nodded and turned off his phone. While Mike was moving down the stairs, he hastily appeared in front of Mike. This middle-aged man was a little different than others. Every middle-aged man had black hair, he had brown and looked much more toned than others.

He walked in front of Mike with a friendly smile and taking out a card, said "Mr. Tyson, would it be alright to have a cup of tea together after the ceremony? By the way, I am the tutor of King's Academy."

Although Mike's gaze was somewhere else, when he saw the middle-aged man appearing in front of him, he instantly looked at him with all of his attention. When he heard a middle-aged man's words, he was dumbfounded, thinking 'Uncle, are you sure you got the right person? Shouldn't it be peoples like Mac that you need to choose before thinking of E-Ranker like me?"

But obviously, Mike didn't say that loud. He only looked at him, took the card, read it carefully, and put it in his pocket while nodding his head.

His action not only stunned him but also other middle-aged men. This led them to fall into deep thinking.

'This man is the right-hand man of Mad Beast Emperor. Just by strength, he is already several miles ahead of us, why would he get attracted by an E-Rank Core?'

'Could it be there is something unusual about that reaction?'

'Even so, it doesn't change the fact that he had awakened E-Rank core, so why would someone like him choose this teenager?'

'Well, I hope nothing bad happens.'

Every one of them had different thoughts. Because, except Lucas, that man didn't invite a single contestant which led to them thinking, he would choose no one but Mike obviously made a change here. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛o𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

Speaking of Mike, he got once again absorbed in something else, something that only he could see, not even that man. This led him to believe he was unique. Because the thing in front of him was a system panel.

As a man from the 21st century, he had read a lot of novels, watched a lot of anime, and so he genuinely believes he was different the moment he got reincarnated to this world. And now the system panel in front of him proved him right.

He doesn't know whether this was a story or not, he doesn't whether he was a protagonist or not, but he knew one thing that was a sentence 'He was unique.'

In front of him, there was a blue screen panel. It was just like a screen panel of any sci-fi movie and in this world, it was no different than his own computer screen. But it wasn't just a single panel rather five different panels in front of him.

"Welcome to the Yin-Yang Harmony System"

"This system is modified based on the user's talent. It helps users to use the fullest potential of their talent. But due to the talent being locked, the user needs to follow several procedures to completely unlock his talent."

"Scanning User: Requirement for opening main Yin-Yang Harmony System- Unachieved" f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

"Generating procedures to follow! Generation completed! Basic Training System Mode Activated!"

"Due to the restriction of the user, the system can only allow the user to access two of its functions!"

He carefully read those instructions on the panel but didn't understand anything. Suddenly, when his thought said 'How do I respond to this? I hope it has an A.I.'

"Is it the user's first question? Slight reminder: The user can only ask three questions to the system. After three questions, System would be unable to answer any further question."

He was startled by the system's reply. But it wasn't sound rather few words in the panel in front of him.

"No, no! My first question would be; explain everything about the system?"

When he panicked and asked, he didn't notice he said that loud. Hearing his words, Lucas slammed on his head, saying "Have you become dumb by awakening an innate ability this time?"

But he didn't have time to chat with him. He simply shook his head and looked at the new panel in front of him.

"Slight reminder: User can communicate with me through three different mediums. Users can either use a screen panel as a touch screen. User can give voice commands or User can give thoughts commands."

"Answer- This question has many restrictions. The most efficient way to explain the system is through three different points."

"1. System can help user unlock his talent through easy methods."

"2. System can't have direct interaction with the user but it can make many slight reminders."

"3. System can use different functions that can help user to get stronger."

'Fuck! I don't understand a shit. I know these things just by the way you are interacting with me. But what are the functions of the system?' Mike yelled in his heart furiously. He felt like an idiot after reading these points. Of course, he could easily understand these but he thought again and remember these kinds of systems only reveal their mysteries when his strength reaches a certain point.

"Is that your second question?"

"Duh! Of course, it is." Although Mike was a little sad about losing a chance to ask a question, he didn't take it to his heart. After all, this system belongs to him and he can check everything he needs to check.

"Yin-Yang Harmony System has many functions among which only two functions are available. One being Status Function and another being Quest Function. You can check both functions through the system- Main Home."

'Is that it?' Mike couldn't help but turn speechless over his system. He felt this system should definitely get itself an A.I. But he knows this system can't respond to his critics, so he simply ignored it and thought 'Main Home!'

After his thoughts, other panels disappeared in front of his eyes and a single panel appeared. This panel had a blue theme with three different sections. Among the three sections, two sections 'Status' and 'Quest' were green while the last section 'Shop' was grey. There were many other grey sections without revealing their name.

'So, does this grey represent a locked function?' Knowing which functions he could use, he easily distinguished between two colors and their functions.

'Status!' He doesn't want to become an idiot in his best friend's eyes, so he couldn't use the touch-screen function and only give commands through his thought. But just when the new panel appeared, Jacus shouted "Down to earth, Mike! Down to Earth!"

"We have to go back." He didn't even let Mike explain anything. Lucas grabbed his hand and drag him out of the arena. Due to Lucas's sudden popularity, everyone couldn't help but glance at me.

"Is he so shocked that he awakened the core with his Dark Energy Resistance Body?"

"Didn't expect him to be so petty?"

"Well, he is just an E-Ranker after all and with his body, he might never improve." Seeing Mike dragged away, teenagers around them began to whisper in each other's ears. Although Mike heard them loud and clearly, he completely ignored them, giving a deep gaze upon his status.
