’’Come out, everyone’’
Having answered the summon of their master, the shadow creatures appeared on the large terrain full of grass.
Kailen leapt into the air, performing an aerial flip and landing on the back of Vengeful, the towering 6 meter tall shadow wyvern.
Vengeful flapped her obsidian wings, propelling herself into the air.
Observing the approaching horde of different diabolic beasts, Kailen mused ’’ 400 C ranked diabolic beasts. Let’s let the shadow creatures sit this one out’’
The shadow creatures disappeared back into the shadow expanse as an obsidian katana swirled to life, being clutched by Kailen firmly.
Then, without even creating a shadow armor to protect himself, Kailen moved with extreme speed, leaving a trail of wind behind.
Bathing in the sense of calm and exhilaration that welled up in him, Kailen met the approaching horde of diabolic beasts.
First slash, first blood, serpentine head rolls.
’’Bastard reminds me of the coiling terror’’ Kailen clicked his tongue, his gaze briefly lingering on the serpentine creature he had just slain for a split second. ’’Unto the next target’’.
His figure blurred through the horde of diabolic beasts, the obsidian katana weaving life after life.
If one were to observe the scene, one would see flashes accompanied with thumping sounds, splattering of blood , severed limbs and spilling innards of diabolic beasts.
With shadow manipulation at work and Kailen’s increased perception after attaining the B rank, Kailen was not just superior to the C rank diabolic beasts in terms of strength. He could see the trajectory of their attacks through the shadows their movements mimic with shadow manipulation, coupled with his perception, aiding him to react more quickly and advantageously to the attack patterns of the enemy.
Kailen moved, then slaughtered. Beast fell one after the other. Various affinities from the diabolic beasts would be launched towards Kailen, yet a tenebrous shield of moving shadows akin to a bendable stream of water would swirl to life, preventing the affinity containing attacks, along with the blood of his slaughtered opponents, from landing on Kailen.
Kailen hurtled himself towards a towering C ranked lion with three heads, the shadow Katana cleaving through the beast’s three heads, claiming the monster’s life.
Its blood whistled through the air, accompanied by thumping sounds of the beast falling sideways, it’s headless body and head lying meters apart from each other.
Kailen stood before the carcasses of the dead diabolic beasts, the indescribable exhilaration of being on the battlefield still evident in his eyes.
The whole battle took a while to describe, however it had lasted just a couple of seconds.
[You have cleared the difficulty mode of the first floor of the university tower and obtained 1000 student credits. Would you like to proceed to challenge the next floor?]
Kailen’s eyes gleamed at the notification of having obtained 1000 student credits for clearing the first floor, as a greedy grin graced his face.
[Greedy for money, well in this case , student credits as ever]
Kailen ignored the time dilation artifact, as he said [yes], as his vision grew disoriented, the environment completely changing.

’’For a kid who bested an A ranked instructor, clearing the difficulty level of the first floor is bound to be easy. What I am more impressed with is his skill with the katana. The sword art is extremely unique, precise and lethal. This kid is interesting, and whoever is responsible for helping him hone his sword arts is not ordinary’’ Dean Donalds observed the video of Kailen with amused eyes.
’’Also, what is with this affinity? He summoned some ginormous black colored monsters that made even me, an S ranked awakener have an ominous feeling. Just what is this affinity? and who is this kid? and what is his background? Quickly look into the background of this Kailen Darkhaven as soon as possible. I am really curious about him.’’ Dean Donalds stared at Kim, his assistant, with a wide grin plastered on his face.
Kim was quick to reply ’’Sir, I already did a background check on this monstrous genius after he started causing commotion in the university ever since he arrived. He seems to be an orphan who grew up in an ordinary family. He hails from a small city in our nation called New Alexandra city where he has stayed all his life and attended school. His parents seemed to have died 2 years ago during the massacre involving the Coiling Terror two year ago in New York City.
According to what I gathered, he failed to also awaken on his sixteenth birthday, then showed up around roughly a month ago at the awakening center of his city to register himself as an E ranked awakener with an affinity called Shadow Affinity’’
’’How can someone awaken at the age of seventeen? Is this not the first-time something like this has happened in the Federation? Isn’t news concerning his awakening supposed to have blown out of proportion?’’ Dean Donalds mused with shock.
However, Kim only added more fuel to the fire ’’ Sir, take a look at these videos’’
Dean Donalds stared at the videos with shock.
From the video of Kailen at the Smallville county, to the video of him summoning his shadow creatures to register himself with them as guild members, to how he singlehandedly wiped out the powerhouses of the Sunset Guild, to the event of Kailen wiping out the black market, to the incident on the train.
’’How is news like this not known? Even if he is from a small city, such feats should have travelled far and wide. It’s like someone is purposefully, controlling the news of Kailen Darkhaven from spreading at a pace quicker than it should’’ As a veteran S ranked awakener who has fought on numerous battlefields and dealt with various people and situations, the dean of Zanpala University was quick to connect the dots with his sharp instincts.
’’Could that monstrous kid have something to do with this?’’ Donalds mused as he chuckled.
’’Sir, by monstrous kid do you mean....’’ Kim’s eyes widened at the revelation.
’’Yes, I mean Xu Reynolds, that brat may have decided to control the media so that Kailen Darkhaven is not exposed to the spotlight too quickly after probably seeing the video of Kailen at the guild war most especially, concerned that being in the spotlight too quickly may influence the youngster negatively and affect his growth. Last time I spoke to him, he said he had seen some videos of an interesting youngster who might surpass him, I , however assumed he was indirectly boasting about his nephew. It seems he has his eye on this little monster rather. Call him for me ’’
****
In a region of the world where all one could see was ice, blizzards swept through the icy fog incessantly, as a human figure was engaged in a fierce battle with a towering reptilian creature akin to a crocodile boasting about 10 meters in height.
The duo’s relentless clashes that would look like streaks of light to the naked eye would cause shockwaves that could raze a city to nothing to occur from time to time, evidenced by the absurd damage being done wherever they clashed. Their clash would cause frozen fields several hundreds of kilometers to crack, and swarms of diabolic beasts to be ravaged into nothings.
The towering reptile inhaled deeply, it’s throat bloating and assuming magmalike color.
The human figure with lightning flickering beneath his feet, hovering high in the air, muttered hoarsely ’’Sundering Impact’’
Ssssszzzzzrt!
An extremely large hand made of lightning, boasting several meters appeared around the human figure’s body as he clenched his fists and threw it forward.
At the same time...
Fwooooooshhhh!
A large ball of magma like flames shot out of the mouth of the towering reptile, meeting the attack of the human figure head on.
The atmosphere grew still, until shockwaves spread to multiple directions, ripping the environs several kilometers away from the battlefield apart.
The human’s ginormous lightning fist, shrouding his figure consumed, or rather tore through the magma like flame attack of the towering crocodile, making impact with the diabolic beast’s head and blasting it into smithereens.
The headless body of the reptilian creature tore through the air like a comet, smashing into a mountain kilometers away and destroying its towering peak.
The headless creature fell into an ocean exuding thick cold vapor. sinking beneath its depths.
’’The more we kill, the more they appear. I have fought with this S ranked diabolic beast for days and had no option but to go all out in the end before defeating it. Humanity is really in a tight spot. Perhaps, with that kid’s monstrous growth and judging by what I observed from his affinity watching those videos, he will definitely play a key role in humanity’s survival.Time to head back to the base’’
The male figure with chestnut hair, brown eyes and young handsome face and an athletic build, clad in some sort of black battle gear, panted heavily, then shot through the air with lightning flickering beneath his feet.
*******
’’Reynolds, you monstrous kid, when are you coming back to the capital? Have been trying to reach you for the past 2 hours too. Just where do you keep your phone?’’
Xu Li Reynolds stood on the towering walls of the base. The cold breeze brushed past his face , causing his chestnut hair to flutter, as he sighed, staring at the middle-aged man in the video call.
’’Master, you know I cannot come back anytime soon. The situation in Antartica is getting more serious. As the Federation president, I have to lead the other awakeners here to push back the Diabolic beasts as much as we can. I even fought for several days with an S ranked diabolic beast,managing to defeat it by going all out a few hours ago. Besides, I like it here. There is adventure and thrill here everyday so-’
Donalds sighed. This disciple of his was very wierd. He preferred the environment in Antartica because it was full of adventure and thrill?.
’’Anyway that is not why I called. Kailen Darkhaven, He’s the kid you mentioned right?’’ Donalds’ question caused a smug expression to reveal itself on Reynold’s face.
’’Yeah. Looks like he’s causing a commotion at the university err’’
’’He is, not just him, that nephew of yours is also doing the same thing ’’
’’Interesting. Charles always seems uninterested in anything except there is chaos, commotion or adventure. Could he have been impacted by Kailen Darkhaven?’’
’’Could be. That Nephew of yours is just like you. Anyway, you secretly slowed down the speed at which Kailen’s videos spread, afraid that the fame could distract him right?’’
’’Yes, that is true old man. Teenagers could be unreasonable at times’’
’’ Figured . Anyway ,Kailen Darkhaven has set a new record. He did not just clear the tower up to the ninth floor, but he cleared the final floor too,unbelievably in 45 freaking minutes, at the difficulty level"
