Chapter 82 - Reason For Separation

Randy continued to think to himself about the reason why his attack power had abruptly increased drastically compared to before.

"Is it because…  at the last moment, I could feel like the strength in my arm was abnormally denser than when I had used it in the virtual world… at that time, I had thought it was because this was the real world instead of the virtual which led to this difference, but now…  it seems like my magical energy's change had even affected my attack power. Haah—" 

Randy deeply for a brief moment and then he sighed in dismay when he thought of the ruckus that he had caused just now with his sudden strength gain. 

"Haah… whatever what is done is done, but still, I wish that I knew this beforehand…" Randy sighed once again as he muttered in a low voice. 

After a moment, he suddenly thought of something and then turned to his instructor before saying with hesitation in his voice: "Uhm… teacher Yang, about this… would I have to compensate the academy for this?"

Randy sheepishly scratched the back of his head as he asked this. That was because he did not have any money to compensate in case, they demand that he pay for the slightly broken testing doll.

And so, he was hoping that they do not blame for this accidental occurrence.

"Huh?' 

The instructor, who was still dazed from shocked, upon hearing his question, immediately snapped out of his daze, and then said: "Oh right, A-Ah about that… you don't have to worry about it, the academy would take care of the repair since it was our fault for bringing this doll that could not withstand our student's ability. This was a mistake of our academy so you can leave without worrying about being blamed for the damage." 

Hearing this response, Randy appeared pleased and then he muttered in relief: "That's good."

After saying so, Randy walked away from the testing doll under the watchful eyes of every student present in the training field. 

When he walked past the students, he exchanged glances with the shocked Jeremiah without saying anything. 

Jeremiah still had his eyes wide open and mouth slightly agape in incredulity.

At this point, the instructor's voice resounded as he announced for everyone to hear: "Randy Smith, A-rank Low State Attack power! Very excellent! To think that there would be a dark horse in instructor Liu's class, I really envy him!" 

Although Randy's attack power was the lowest for the Low State of Rank A, which was 5 whereas the highest Low State was 33, thus the highest for an A-rank Low State attack damage would be 533, followed by 566 and then finally 599. 

However, this was only the attacking power, and only those with 600 statistic points in physical strength or corresponding destructiveness of an ability's attack power would be able to unleash a 599 attack damage, and also, those people were classified as A-rankers.   

Nonetheless, there are those with special physiques or ability that allowed them to bypass this threshold and even capable of fighting those of higher rank than them, meaning their attack damage could even surpass an ordinary A-ranker's attack damage limit of 

599, thus reaching 600 or more attack damage while their official rank might just be B-rank or even lower than that. 

Those people are the so-called geniuses that belong to big families or sects and most of these people had awakened naturally so their abilities themselves were stronger in the early stages compared to those that awakened with the help of science and technology. 

And because of all that, one could only imagine what the students might be feeling right now when they heard that Randy's attack damage had reached an A-ranker's level despite being officially classified as a C-rank ability user. 

At this point, Emilia stood in the distance with a look of surprise and then followed by a pleased expression. 

And she quietly thought to herself as she gazes at him, 'Thank goodness… it is great that Randy had finally awakened his innate ability, now no one can look down on him anymore…'

She thought in gladness, however, she did not have the courage to approach him or say anything to him. 

Because she believes that it was better for them to not get close even if he had awakened his ability. 

That was because she believes that her mother might still not like him and will only find some random reason to cause him trouble in the future if they were to get close now that he had awakened. 

In the first place, she did not distance herself from him because Randy did not awaken his ability, but only because her mother threatened to cause trouble for Randy if she does not cut ties with him. 

With that thought in mind, she proceeded to gaze at Randy's figure in the distance with a lonely expression for a while before ultimately turning away from his direction. 

…

The sparring session of the test carried on and when it was Randy's turn, his opponent gave up instantly when they recalled how he smashed that doll that Jeremiah was not even able to put a dent in. 

And so, the day went by, and all classes ended and now, it was the end of the school with everyone excited to go home.

Randy also walked out at this point, and then after thinking of something, he tapped his smart bracelet as he walked. 

After browsing through the list names, he selected one by tapping on the projected screen.

Instantly, he put on an earpiece that was connected to his smart bracelet.

Du~ du~ du~

Dialing tone responded in his ears and soon, his bracelet had connected to the dialed number, and immediately a surprised voice resounded from the other end.

[Randy? Why are you calling me? What happened?] 

"Nothing, I was just wondering if you had sold the items that I had given you." Randy said to the owner of the voice. 

[Oh? About that, I did. I was busy with something when the payment was transferred into my account a while ago. But I can transfer the money to your account right now if you want.]

The owner of the voice said to him. 

"Alright, oh, by the way, Jiang Chen, you did take some of the money like I told you before, right?" Randy replied and then he suddenly asked in return.
