Chapter 41: Nevis the Streamer

Both of them walked away from each other, Felix treating others with a cold shoulder while Varth walking leisurely towards the boisterous crowd.

"The instructors are scary when angry," Peter said as he gulped.

Not just Peter, but even most of the students were terrified by the energy wave attacks executed by the instructors. It was terrifying to consider that the difference in their strength was so great that the instructors could decide their life and death in a single second.

"Try your best to not attract their ire. It won't do us any good if we get on their bad side," Leila said as she looked at Peter.

While she and Peter continued to talk with one another, Vincent silently observed the students in order to complete his mission.

‹ Mission Activated: The most talented! ›

‹ Task: Scout and evaluate the students with the highest potential: 0/3 ›

‹ Completion Reward: +60 experience points ›

He had received this mission right when the first one to take this test walked to the front of the crowd. Since then, he had been standing away from the boisterous crowd, leisurely leaning against the wall while gazing at each person that took the test of titan's strength with scrutiny.

"Varth has a mysterious feel about him, but I discern that he is talented, shrewd, playful, and especially vengeful. He is the type of person I don't want to make an enemy out of. On the other hand, Felix comes off as an idiot that is easy to aggravate. However, he is powerful. In a battle of strength, I might lose against him, but in a battle of wits, I can mop the floor with him," Vincent internally thought.

All of a sudden, a notification popped up in front of him. He glanced at it.

‹ Task Progression: 2/3 ›

'I just need to evaluate one more talented student amongst the remaining ones.'

Vincent waited in silence as he had been since the start of this test. Nevis stood up from his cross-legged seated position, swept back the length of his silver hair with his finger while walking to the front of the crowd, planning to take the test. As he was walking towards the iron wall, a metallic cube with a blue lens in the middle floated out of his pocket, hovering behind him.

‹ Virtual reality connecting terminal has been activated. According to the settings set by the user, the terminal will now live stream, record, upload, and share videos on your channel, Rosenfeld ›

The metallic cube hovering around him and recording his actions announced as he whisked his way near the iron wall. It was a device specially created to link to the virtual reality created and ruled by the third great royal family. A person gains access to all public services provided on the virtual reality and platforms established on the virtual reality once his device links to the virtual network.

Nevis was a newbie live streamer on the platform called SX. The reason as to why he wanted to become a streamer was pretty simple. It was his dream to become popular and gain fame and attention. He wanted to show his family that he can be loved as much as anyone else. That's why his channel name was Rosenfeld meaning field of roses, signifying the fact that one day he will receive so many fan letters and gifts that it will be enough to create a field out of them.

"Welcome to my live stream. Today marks the beginning of my new life. I'm about to take the test of titan's strength–a part of the military academy entrance examination. The rules are simple, I just need to prove my strength by punching this iron wall. The better I perform, the more contribution points I will earn. They can be used to purchase a lot of things. So wish me well!" Nevis said as he winked at his live stream's viewers.

[This guy is so pretty, almost like a pop model.]

[Damn right! He's totally my type.]

[Little handsome, noona(big sister) wishes you the best. Kiya~]

[Hey boy, show them what you got, beat the shit out of that smug-looking iron wall for my sake!]

He only had a thousand subscribers. Out of them, only four were watching his live stream. However, he still put on a smile and prepared himself to perform the best for them. Everything starts from baby steps. He believed that one day he will a thousand times more subscribers. To attain that goal, he just needed to do his best every day.

"Let's fucking do this," Nevis exclaimed, bubbling up in excitement. He took a battle stance in front of the iron wall. He was standing extremely close to it. So close that his curled index finger almost touched the wall.

He took a deep breath and started to gather up 30 units of the battle energy contained inside of his body into one place. He could only gather 30 units of battle energy in a single point for now. He had more than eighty units of battle energy that could be utilized to increase the strength of the body by eight times that of an average human. However, that is only the case when battle energy is evenly distributed throughout the body.

"Rather than evenly distributing battle energy throughout his body, he is focusing a lot of it into his index finger, the strength of this attack will improve significantly," Alex said as he excitedly looked at Nevis.

At first, his eyebrows twitched in annoyance when he saw that Nevis is an annoying live streamer but then he felt impressed with him.

"His control over battle energy is amazing!" Kayle praised as she looked at Nevis.

It wasn't a simple task to focus battle energy into a single point. To explain battle energy in simpler words, it exists as the fifth limb of a human being. It is automatically evenly distributed throughout the body and utilized to enhance a person's body, allowing them to possess incredible strength, defense, and agility for a short amount of time with a single thought. However, this was most simplest way to use battle energy.

The combatants use battle energy to execute transcendental-grade combat techniques, and these techniques can only be utilized by people who have great control over battle energy. For example, Vincent had gathered battle energy in his legs to drastically improve his speed in the past, and the first examinee gathered battle energy in his steel fist to increase his damage output.

"Well, nothing less expected from the seventh son of the Truemight family."

As soon as Theodore said those words, Alex and Kayle nodded, agreeing with what he said as they knew that the members of the Truemight family were born with an innate trait called [Energy control]. They were born with better control over energy as compared to an average human.

"I am reaching my limits. I need to find release!" Nevis said as sweat trickled down his forehead.

When approximately eighty units of battle energy gathered in his curled index finger, Nevis felt thankful to his cousin, the only person that treated him with kindness and gave him a transcendental-grade combat technique before he left for Earth.

The battle energy that used to be automatically spread evenly throughout his body each time he utilized it through willpower and thoughts has now gathered into a single point because of learning the technique his cousin gave him. He felt the battle energy converting into bodily strength. His index finger bone strength increased. His finger muscle density increased. The agility of his index finger increased. The amount of strength of his finger as a whole increased by a few tons.

"Sky-piercing finger!" He exclaimed as his curled index finger stretched out with incredible speed.

His index finger carried such immense strength that a resounding reverberation spread out along with shock waves.

"Nevis Truemight! Strength Grade-72!"

Soon, the dull mechanical voice of the system echoed to announce his result.

The eyes of the students, medic, live stream viewers, and instructors opened wide in shock, and their mouths gape as they looked at Nevis with an expression of disbelief and bewilderment. The students were having a hard time believing that his finger contained such extreme powers.

The medic and instructors were awestruck as his finger has exploded. They believed that the shockwave must have shattered the bones of his arm also. The viewers were split between deciding whether this person is an idiot that doesn't fear or an outright crazy person.

"Well, I did my best. Don't forget to like and subscribe!" Nevis said as he flashed his white pearly teeth to the live stream. He also gave them a thumbs up before he fell down to the ground, seemingly losing consciousness as blood dripped out from his half-blown index finger.

The healers immediately went down the raised platforms and performed first-aid treatment on him. Then they placed him on a stretcher before taking him away.

Vincent believed that the healer will be able to heal his finger and cracked bones entirely. 'His control over battle energy is better than mine. From what I discerned, he was able to gather thirty units of battle energy in his index finger. On the other hand, I can't even gather more than twenty units of battle energy in my legs. But I think he is stupid, to fortify a single point with battle energy and leaving the rest of his arm far weak against the strength outputted from his finger. He must have suffered. Maybe he didn't know?'

‹ Task Progression: 3/3 ›

Vincent smiled as he was now only 60 experience points away from leveling up and receiving free attributes points that can be used to increase his strength.
