Re-Awakening: I Ascend with a Legendary class

Chapter 68: Mana Techniques (2/2)

A crystal-clear, translucent golden film appeared around Admiral Rudra, coating his body like still water. The aura even extended over his clothing, a sign of an advanced Fortification. Maintaining this seamless connection from skin to clothing was no easy feat—projecting Fortification outward without losing the bond to the skin required mastery at a high level.

"You must keep the entire pathway of the chakra network consistent, and no chakra point must connect to more than one. Assign a starting chakra point and an ending chakra point while connecting all chakra points into a seamless network."

Almond nodded, immediately closing his eyes and focusing inwardly as he began.

"Keep at it. I’ll return in half an hour to finish some procedures concerning your entry into GAA."

Half an hour later, Admiral Rudra returned and saw Almond as he promptly recognized a proper activation of Fortification on his body.

"Good. Now, let’s begin your evaluation for your profile."

"Profile?" Amond blinked.

"Like this," Admiral Rudra showed his profile.

"Admiral Rudra, are you perhaps the highest stage in all Mana techniques?" Almond asked while wondering about Admiral Rudra’s combat power.

"Let me tell you a secret. My profile is classified solely to me," Admiral Rudra said, a faint smile playing on his face. "I’ve shown it to only three other people, and you are the fourth one. As for your question, yes. I am the one who explored, developed, and coined names of these techniques, so I am indeed at the highest possible for now."

Almond blinked before he grinned and didn’t hold back as he punched Admiral Rudra with his full power.

*Boom!*

Naturally, Admiral Rudra had Fortification activated, so not even his clothes got damaged, let alone him.

’I expected it, but still...’ Almond wryly smiled.

"Not bad. Your Body Enfold increases your Physical Stats by 27%—That’s stage 1 level 2 Body Enfold, and you’re already close to reaching level 3."

"Next, use Weapon Enfold in your sword."

Almond took out his Preying Hunter’s Sword. He had already trained 10 hours solely in Aura Enfold at first, so he was proficient in using it with this weapon.

Admiral Rudra observed it for a moment and said, "Extend its range as much as you can while keeping Weapon Enfold activated. Its aura must not budge even in a bit."

Almond nodded, his expression focused. The sword’s length range increased by half a meter, and its blade width also increased. One must know that the extended ranges, although not physical, share the same level of power as the boosted sword.

It was essentially like the sword had gotten bigger and longer while getting the boost from Weapon Enfold.

"Attack me."

Admiral Rudra saw Almond’s wrist and body resonating as his sword slashed, and a hint of amazement appeared in his eyes. ’This kid is indeed monstrous with the sword. His vibe entirely changes subtly when he wields it. That’s perfect slash imbuing the flow and power of his entire body.’

*Slash!*

"Wonderful. You managed to increase your weapon’s attack power by 48%," Admiral Rudra wryly smiled. "Your rate of improvement with Weapon Enfold is absurd, alright."

"True, but I think it’s only when I use a sword," Almond said before he shrugged, "Well, I am not going to use anything other than swords, so that’s fine by me."

"Your Mana control is already high, so when you studied this sword and activated Weapon Enfold, it paired well, allowing you to reach a higher boost in Weapon Enfold than Body Enfold."

"So I need to study my body better to allow for a better execution of Body Enfold? Got it," Almond smiled.

"The last evaluation is of your combat power, but it’s better that you do this in Firefly City," Admiral Rudra smiled as he showed a hologram screen to Almond from his wristwatch.

"Special Hunter?" Almond read it out loud, surprised. "What’s that?"

"A new position in GAA for you."

"Ehh?"

Soon, Admiral Rudra explained why he did this.

Apparently, Admiral Rudra had decided to create a special position for him in Firefly City’s GAA branch to allow him more freedom than usual new low-rank members. After all, Almond was capable of clearing Labyrinth Floors at higher cycles and stronger than his usual rank.

This would scream bias and make him look like a case of nepotism, but it was Almond’s job to shut them up, which was why he decided to let Almond hold the last evaluation to determine his Combat Power at the Firefly City’s GAA branch.

"Alright, your profile’s completed. I am going to send it to the GAA branch in Firefly City. Your jet is also ready, so you can depart after half an hour."

Admiral Rudra handed a wristwatch to Almond—an advanced Magitech device that was like a minicomputer. It acted as a mobile phone with ’Magic Whisper’ ability and information source.

Wearing it on his wrist, Almond checked his profile.
