The Awakening Unknown

"Planning"

Tuesday, April 3rd

7:39 a.m

"26 days, in just 26 days the temple is planning on taking us to a Qi control raid. They're planning on buying five dungeons, they will assign 6 people per raid. On day 15, they will pick our squads. And starting tomorrow we will prepare. Preparation includes studying, gathering weapons, and obtain items. The temple classes will be shortened and they will supervise the raids. Temple training has been in effect for 30 days. It's time to show your improvements."

We sit listening to the lead student explaining the details of the raid. The raid will begin April 29th and finish on the 30th, which gives me until April 25th to come up with a plan.

*Ting Ting*

Ever since they attacked me, they will glance over at me. And each time I would just smirk at them... and each time an immense feeling of fear emits from them. Orsa missed two straight days with "sickness" The other two are left here...alone.

Mister Xing Ti dismissed the classroom, Miss Li stands waiting for me to leave the classroom.

"Abis, it's been quite a while since I've seen you! I was informed by Mister Xing Ti Quan. He told me you were a special case, and for me to personally train you after class."

「If accepted player progress will increase immensely.」

'When are we starting the training?'

"Now!"

She grabbed my arm, and we were instantly transported elsewhere. We tilt on a slightly tilted mountain. So high up we face the clouds.

'So... where are we?'

Miss Li takes the view in before responding. "This is Yeager mountain, this mountain is known for having zero survivors. This is where your training begins." Before giving me the chance to answer.

'...'

She pushes me down the cliff, I see my life flashing before my eyes. What am I supposed to do, she just pushed me?

「Assassins Movements grants you stealth and stable landings.」

Once again the system grants my wish. 「Assassins Movement activated」 The air passing through my hair feels exhilarating, with the gust of wind blowing my clothes I lead straight down. My body moves on its own, I flip frontwards, landing on the heels of my feet.

"Are you still alive?"

Miss Li voice reaches me from the bottom of the mountain. My body functioning normally yet my brain still processing.

'Yes!'

Without seeing her face, I can sense her feeling of relief. I glance around the area, to find nothing but snow. I decided to finally stand and climb the mountain. The rock that comes across strong and stable, are slick and unstable.

'System, anything that can help me travel up the mountain?'

「If wishing to climb the mountain you must absorb skill Assassin Movements.」

'I'll do it.'

「Body/Skill fusion beginning. 0.4% of 100%」

It's downloading? I guess that makes sense, but if I want to climb this mission I'll need to use my real strength. The rocks formation will make it a bit more difficult. This mountain not normal, and she just pushed me off the cliff not thinking of consequences.

I clenched onto the more stable rock and with most of my strength, I carve my fingers Into the rocks.

The shock traveled throughout the rest of my body. I start climbing and feel as if I'm making progress, but when I glance down I barely left the ground.

*Drip Splat*

Blood drips from my fingers, the pain resistance caused my fingers to become numb to the bleeding. I have only been climbing the mountain for 2 minutes, yet it already rips and tears my fingers.

***

-5 hour-

If Assassins Movement didn't download I would probably still be at the bottom of the mountain. I don't know how much time has passed but I know I've been climbing for hours. I can see the top of the mountain! the first time in hours.

I almost reach the top before sliding down, frustrated I punch the mountain. But then an idea came to mind. Climb this way! I punch through the mountain walls flinging my body upwards.

***

I finally make my way to the top, I eagerly glance around. Where is Miss Li? She vanished, once on top of the mountain now somewhere else. I "sigh" and grabbed a large rock and carved my initials into it, to show proof of me finishing the climb.

- Strength Level: 25

- Agility Level: 23

- Intelligence Level: 40

- Qi Amount: 19

- Stamina: 36

- Fatigue: 90

- Sense: 20

All of my stats increased by 8, the change became very notable. In the past 30 days, I acc.u.mulated 21689 stat points. Today the system added 8 points by itself, but the points that I earned throughout my training have been personally added.

'This should do it!'

- Strength Level: 65

- Agility Level: 60

- Intelligence Level: 80

- Qi Amount: 39

- Stamina: 56

- Fatigue: 67

- Sense: 40

I added a 20 to each stats except for strength and agility. I feel if not dealt with enough care I will become behind in class. I have 21509 points. I can tell the difference in power before I felt like a normal human with enough training to go pro. But now I can tell I'm leagues above any humans.

'What's my power level?'

'What title am I closest to earning?'

「Qi Master」

'Qi master?'

「A title given to those who have mastered or perfected Qi.」

'Where's my progress for that and the other progress?'

「Progress: 32% other titles N/A」

I gather enough Qi and focused on the energy of the temple. 「Shadow Travel Activated」 In an instant I appear in front of the gate of the temple. I sense Miss Li's energy from the building next door. I choose to ignore it and enter the temple and report my progress to Xi Lao.
