"Congrats Albert. I feel so envious of having such a talented student." The Director of the Awakened Center said after his secretary passed him the phone.
"Rodney? What do you an by that?" Albert, the principal of Greenwich High School asked as he was confused by the sudden greetings from Rodney, the Director of the Awakened Center.
"You should know what I an." Rodney took a puff of his cigar, grinned and said.
Albert pondered for a mont and said, "Well, having a student with S Level ability is definitely great."
He had misunderstood Rodney and thought that Rodney was talking about Patricia with her S Level Fire ability.
"S Level? No. I’m talking about the student, or more precisely ex-student, with SSS Level ability."
"SSS Level ability?!"
Albert quickly turned on his computer and checked the system.
And there it was, at the top, Lukas with his SSS Level ability.
Below Lukas was Patricia with her S Level Fire ability.
Albert frowned at the screen, and he said, "I’ve got a eting coming up. Talk to you next ti."
This pesky Rodney was still sore about him and his wife.
His wife had always rejected Rodney, but Rodney just wouldn’t give up.
But Albert wasn’t in the mood to deal with Rodney right now.
He put down the phone and clicked on the details of Lukas.
Lukas was indeed one of the top students until his funding got cut and he left Greenwich High School.
Bang.
Albert banged on the table, and he called the staff in charge of Lukas’s class and funding into his office.
He wanted to figure out what had happened and to get to the bottom of it.
Having a SSS Level student ant that their chances in the high school finals would be the highest in the history of the high school.
But now it was all gone due to soone cutting off the funding for Lukas.
He also asked for Patricia to co to his office.
Maybe Patricia can help persuade Lukas to co back to the school, he thought.
After a few monts of waiting, Patricia arrived at the door of his office.
"Principal, you were looking for ." Patricia knocked softly on the door of Albert’s office and waited.
"Co in."
Patricia entered and the principal gestured for her to take a seat in the chair in front of his office desk.
She sat and looked at the principal nervously as she didn’t know what to expect.
It was rare for her to be called into the principal’s office.
"I hope I didn’t break any rules." Patricia said and lowered her head.
"Break any rules? No. I summoned you to ask you about Lukas. How much do you know about his SSS Level ability?"
Patricia startled, opened her mouth slightly and froze for a mont.
What?
Lukas had awakened and on top of that, he had awakened a SSS Level ability.
She tugged at the corner of her blouse and bit her lip.
No wonder Lukas didn’t return my ssage.
They were now worlds apart, she thought.
"Ahem." Albert gave a cough after seeing her in a daze.
His cough worked and it knocked her out of her thoughts.
She lifted her head and started to talk about her interactions with Lukas.
When she was done, Albert drumd his fingers on the desk repeatedly.
He had more or less figured out what happened to Lukas.
Jules Robertson isn’t soone he can easily get rid of.
His family is a big donor to the high school.
The board of the school wouldn’t be too pleased if he ssed it up.
He will have to first try and persuade Lukas to co back.
See if Lukas was willing to ignore what Jules Robertson did to him.
Albert looked at Patricia and said, "Patricia, I need your help."
...
Outside the training room, the crowd looking on waited anxiously as the light beam projected onto the ground.
If Lukas survived this round, he would be on par with Riley Kain, the current leader in the monthly rankings.
They held their hands to their mouths as the light beam slowly disappeared, revealing a huge standing figure that remained.
Thump.
The figure thumped on its chest with its fists.
It was a Water Gorilla.
The Water Gorilla took a deep breath, and it stared at Lukas.
When Lukas took a step forward, the Water Gorilla opened its mouth, and a water spout shot out from it.
The water spout sliced through the ceiling of the training room and onto the ground, leaving a trail of broken cent along the way.
Lukas leaped away and stepped onto the wall near him.
He kicked hard at the wall, making use of the force and he shot at the Water Gorilla like a bullet.
However, the Water Gorilla quickly reacted, and it was engulfed in a wall of water the next mont.
Lukas’s montum was slowed down by the wall of water and his fist just touched the arm of the Water Gorilla.
The Water Gorilla held up its arm and clapped its palms together at Lukas’s head.
Clap.
The clap missed as Lukas ducked away by squatting down.
Splash.
The water wall that surrounded the arms of the Water Gorilla splashed into tiny water droplets.
These weren’t any ordinary droplets as they penetrated through the cent on the ground, walls and ceiling.
Thud.
The water droplets, however, weren’t powerful enough to cut through the skin of Lukas.
Red marks appeared all over Lukas’s skin as the water droplets bounced off his tough skin.
Lukas in his squatted position leaped and using his forehead, went for the Water Gorilla’s chin.
In such a short distance, the Water Gorilla wasn’t able to react in ti to this attack.
Thud.
Lukas’s forehead hit the Water Gorilla’s chin and its head tilted back and it took a few steps away from Lukas.
Crack.
Lukas pulled back his fist and then punched at the Water Gorilla’s chest with all his might.
A loud crack of the ribcage could be heard as Lukas’s fist landed on the Water Gorilla’s chest.
