Chapter 111 A Stormy Day...
The Great Freya Academy, Rio's Dorm Room.Trace the roots of this material to novelb!n•
Rio sat on the couch with a teacup in his hand. As he watched the TV, he ignored the thundering of the dark clouds outside.
Lightning struck several times and deafening thunder sounds came one after another, but Rio paid it no mind. It seems that even stormy weather can't make his expressionless face flinch even a little bit.
The News anchor started his reporting, while Rio sat on the couch in a relaxed manner. (Today is a national holiday in the human empire, today they celebrate the victory of the human empire in the fifty-year war against the 'Orcs' and also mourn for all the people whose lives were lost in this war.)
...
"As all our audience may already have noticed, the weather today is very unusual..." (John, the anchor.)
"A huge thunderstorm has been artificially created today over the whole human empire, to celebrate the national sacrificial day, this is also to celebrate the appearance of a new SS-ranker..." (John)
"The opposition points out and says that this is excessive and we should have used that money for helping the poor families, but the government disagrees..." (John)
"The president has given his well wishes to all the citizens of the human empire and has said "This storm and thunder represent the war cry of the rising human empire, with the birth of a new SS-ranker our nation has become safer and stronger." This was the exact statement of the president..." (John)
After telling all this John showed a bar graph on the screen behind him and said in a serious tone:
"In this data, we can see that the military spending this year has increased by 300% compared to the last year, this is an astronomical sum of money being spent on the military..." (John)
"The opposition party leaders questioned the government about where all this money is being spent, some great figures take this as a sign of a new war approaching us at a very fast speed..." (John)
"This has made many people question the fact that is it really necessary to waste money on creating a giant artificial thunderstorm, or is the government trying to kill all the poor people in the disguise of this thunderstorm..." (John)
The Anchor continued rambling about the extraordinary spending of the government on useless things instead of helping the people in need.
...
Eventually, the anchor showed the videos of several reporters rushing and blocking the four SS-rankers and trying to ask them questions about this thunderstorm.
"Ms. Raji, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
A daring reporter pushed everyone aside and questioned Raji who was sitting in her luxury car through the half-opened windscreen
Raji lowered the glass fully and replied in a vague tone.
"I can't tell people about the classified information, but all I will say is that there's no need to fear about the safety of humankind, with the addition of one more person in the ranks of the SS-rankers, our nation is stronger than it before was..." (Raji)
After saying that Raji put her branded sunglasses back on, the windscreen closed again and the car drove away in a hurry while being surrounded by many bodyguards and muscle cars.
...
The video ended and the Anchor appeared again on the screen of the TV.
Then the video of Rio using that immense thunder beam appeared on the TV, the sound of the thunder produced by Rio's sword, made the outside weather look tamer in comparison.
The absolute devastation that was unleashed upon the area from that 360 degree swing of the thunder beam appeared and made everyone watching the TV shocked beyond words.
"Yes, we are informed by our sources that a student named 'Rio Flash' who is also famous among the netizens as 'Link's biggest Rival' has awakened the legendary power of 'Sword Intent', moreover his mastery over his 'Sword Intent' has reached a remarkable level..." (John)
Then the camera zoomed out and showed the aftermath of Rio's attack. The area which was originally covered by large trees was now converted into a barren land, where thunderbolts crawled everywhere like snakes.
"This attack eliminated six of the members from the opponent side..." (John)
The anchor repeatedly described the power of that attack and also, showed many other videos of Rio, beating the daylights out of the others.
Then the video showed the moment when Rio's sword turned into liquid all of a sudden.
"Look at this sudden change, I believe that student Rio's sword must have been a defective one, otherwise there was a great possibility that the winner of this test would have been this underestimated student Rio, the Dark Star." (John)
Later, all these videos made many people question who was stronger between Rio and Link.
This sudden appearance of videos about Rio's feats caused a major sensation on the internet and a war started in various forms about who is better among Link and Rio. Some argued that Rio's attacks couldn't even damage Link and some argued that Link's attacks didn't even land on Rio. (This event laid the foundation of a new fandom, the Dark Star fandom.)
...
Rio looked at all this with a bewildered look on his face and only one thing came out of his mouth.
"F*ck!" (Rio)
...
