News; Hello everyone!!! I once again apologize for being late, This time, I was more late in publishing the 38th chapter.

The reason was because I had a fever and the exams were coming up so I had no time to publish the 38th chapter.

And also because I had a vacation with my fam, So I didn't have time to write aswell( I was enjoying myself at the beach while having no wifi reception🥲)

But It doesn't mean I won't update this novel! (though I have always been behind schedule 😢)

I hope to continue this novel's story until the end of it's chapters.

Thank you for your support. :) . . . . [ Expressionless Awakener ]

[ Let the Third Game... ]

[ Commence! ]

The crowd went into cheer, Thrilling excitement that could hear the screams from outside the school.

A series of gameplay like in a videogame.. turned into a reality that was meant for this world and the novel itself.

A battle between treacherous students with honesty that didn't belong on the field in the first place.

[ "Lets see who goes first.. or who'll likely be last." ]

I gulped as I felt myself in slight uneasiness before the system appeared in front of me.

[ Kim lee!! Are you nervous??🥹 ]

'.....' Ever since I happened to remember those incidents, They seem to be too serious to be forgotten.

Because of that, I felt like I have been less absent-minded than before... Is it because of the scenarios that have happened in the past few months?

Honestly... I don't get this at all... I only remembered vague memories of incidents but I keep forgetting to pass my homework to the instructor even if I finished it or not.

'I don't know, How would I know that?' I thought blankly.

[ *Sigghggs....😮‍💨 ]

I yawned slightly as I looked upon the screen of the arena, showing the game's play of recommendations.

It's honestly tiring to look at and my neck is starting to feel sore from moving my head upwards on the screen televisions of the arena.

I yawned as I looked down at my feet again, Rubbing my neck from the soreness of moving way too much.

'I'm tired...I wanna go home......!!' I thought, Feeling homesick for a while.

I shouldn't have done those assignments last night... I'm still gonna fail even if I passed or not, Same to those forgotten projects that I "finished" in this school.

'....But how did I even survive this school for 2 years straight like this...?'

Well... I guess it doesn't matter now.

I've already missed the first gameplay of the arena.. Though it's just a practice game, it still gives points during participation, Though I doubt I'll probably survive another humiliation if I ever participated in that game. (Glad I was able to miss that even though I already forgot what happened during the first game.)

[ "..I'll pick.. this one." ]

[ Screen; > Immense Battle has been chosen! < ]

Suddenly, the crowd immediately went into gossip, Murmuring the excitement of what's gonna be like in the third game.

'Hm?'

I looked above the arena screen as I finished rubbing my neck.

'Oh.. A game has been chosen.' I thought with no expression, giving no care whatsoever.

[ "The Immense Battle! A Game in which students battle and slay each other!" ]

The crowd began to feel confused and started to question: "Huh..? A battle between students? Isn't that like.... an Overrated theme nowadays?"

"I don't know.. I've already seen a lot of students fighting each other, I was expecting something more interesting..."

"Same.."

"But we should wait! It might be something special about it!"

"Idk.. but Ok I guess."

The audience continued to whisper, waiting for the Instructor's words or reasons why that game choice was chosen. It would only get boring if it's just a fight between students on independent power alone.

It would be a waste of time with no excitement if it's going to take longer than an immediate defeat.

I scratched my head for a while as I felt a bit puzzled.

'Aren't these students a bit too greedy for entertainment nowadays..? Especially when most of them are older or younger than me...?' I thought, still giving no expression at all.

[ Well, There'll always be a new generation of entertainment, Kim Lee. There are more exciting things instead of just a pity fight between just the students alone.😗 ] The system replied back to me.

'But.. Aren't they getting a bit too.... should I say... Pushy..?'

[ True, But they're awakeners, They're looking for something interesting even if it contains gore and murder😑 ]

'Seriously...?' I thought with a serious demeanor.

Awakeners and Normal people are different from each other, Like I said before... They are known to be chaotic and child-ish even if they're young or older than me.

They're always eager for entertainment, but even if they watch just more than a few times, the same trend would get boring for them to walk away.

They're pretty much independent with each other, other than the characters from the novel, They're pretty much reckless and only rely on their power alone than just somebody.

But they are.. after all, still human beings, every emotion or characteristic depends on them.

Similar to humans but entirely different.

Alec Kane chuckled as he smirked at the instructor; [ "Heh... and you said you would pick something interesting for the students didn't you Elias Khalid?" ]

I looked upon the arena once more, Trying to grasp the hint of the Golden Grace instructor's expression.

I knew well that a character from the novel like him, Wouldn't choose a game in which students participated in just a 1v1 battle, especially if it's that boring for the audience to enjoy.

The gameplay he chose... is something much more than that.

Elias Khalid, an Instructor of the Golden Grace section, or likely a classroom, Is a known yet genius awakener known from probably the entire world utmost.

He consists of Guild-award winnings, Titled; The most-conquered dungeon hunter and a participant of the most powerful dungeon that helped save humanity from being extinct.

That's not all, He was also the first ever awakener to surpass most of the powerful guilds in just a snap of a finger.

A fast-learner that could do anything perfectly and diligently... But it's not like that kind of talent made him known from most countries.

But apparently his abilities.

Light awakening... Along with other elements like darkness and the power to heal... has much more skills than a normal awakener would normally have.

It's not just one ability that he has... but three.

Three Abilities with corresponding skills.

Useful, Powerful, and with a full meaning.

Those abilities.. that an awakener has... are known as Multi-Awakeners.

Awakeners with more than just a single ability... Not even the second protagonist(Michael Lorn) could beat him so easily.

But I have two similar abilities based on my own theme... Does that make me a Multi-Awakener? or is it just an "All-in-one" kind of thing?

Well, I doubt I would remember any of my skills nor abilities anyway.... I only learned a minor amount of information about Battling and fighting.. Yet too slow to process anything.

....Even so, A normal person wouldn't just gather lessons all at once.

[ "Well.. It's not like I chose this game for that purpose." ] Elias Khalid, Chuckled mischievously at Alec Kane.

The audience began to question even more, murmuring what the instructor meant.

Alec Kane immediately faded his smirk and sighed as he knew; [ "So... It's not just a pvp Game huh?" ] [ "Honestly, I was a bit happy earlier when the crowd went from excitement to disappointment... But now I feel like it's going to be more than just the audience's thrill." ] He spoke as he rubbed his head annoyed, knowing what was going to happen.

[ "We've known each other for a long time...! You should've known a bit better than just chuckling so "Idiotically" at me." ] Elias Khalid, spoke back at him using the mic.

[ "HAH? Idiotically? Didn't you "IDIOTICALLY" fall from a cliff after getting pushed by an F-Class entity a long time ago?" ]

[ "Pushed? I was able to get myself back up right after that!... Besides.... I could float on my own... Up in the sky right? Why bother mentioning something so meaningless if i'm still living much more powerful than you?" ]

[ "Powerful? You think you're much more powerful than me? Were both instructors known from the entire school and almost the entire world! Basically were celebrities with similar power status!" ]

[ "Heh, Well I'm sure I have grown a bit more powerful than the last time you saw me." ]

[ "No Way! You think you've grown after procrastinating yourself by not even getting out of your house for so long? How pathetic!" ]

[ "Procrastination? I was taking care of my family... Don't you think your words are going a bit too far?" ]

[ "What do you mean 'family'?, Didn't your parents die from a dungeon accident when you were 3? And it's not like my words aren't false!" ]

[ ".....You really want to fight me don't you...?" ]

[ "..Heh... Are you suggesting that to me? There is already a probability of me clearly winning anyway... or more of a draw instead. But I'm sure I'll win." ] Elias Khalid, Spoke as he took out his mana firearm.

That Firearm.. Or should I say, A gun in particular, Isn't just a normal gun.

But a gun with bullets with no limit, Depends on the power or skills given.

And Also.... Elias Khalid's... Main Weapon.

Another reason why his specially known for hes power and greatness from most estates.

The audience and the atmosphere immediately felt the quietness in the air, Slowly whispering to each other's ears and gossiped.

I looked at the arena screen with a disappointing glare; 'Didn't they just fight just a few minutes ago..? Why bother fighting again?'

[ Yikes... The atmosphere is really..... awkward😅 ] The System replied with an emoji.

'Clap..Clap..Clap...'

[ "C'mon you two...! You both just fought a few minutes ago! Why bother fighting again?" ] Instructor Lilac sighed as she clapped her hands gently to push the awkward atmosphere.

[ "And Please... Hurry it up with the Third Game! The audience is waiting and so are their grades!" ]

'....I don't want to know my grades.' I thought with the usual poker face.

[ "..." ]

[ "Like I was saying! The third game is a PvP game like all of you have thought!" ] Elias Khalid continued onto his speech as if nothing happened, going along with the speech to change the weird awkwardness.

Alec Kane, also decided to go along with Elias, pretending as if nothing happened as well. (Though it was a bit embarrassing for both of them, especially when they got lectured for the second time by Instructor Lilac.)

[ "But It's a special kind of PvP..." ]

[ "A PvP is not just a fight between students.. But also..." ]

[ "A CHALLENGE ITSELF!" ]

Suddenly, The ground began to shake horrendously, Making most of the students from the three sections drop onto their knees.. Half even dropped themselves onto the sand with their bodies. The other characters, Like Kwan Jihu and other strong impersonations barely even moved and stood like it was nothing, apparently they're showing off.

'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!' I panicked as I felt both of my entire feet drop onto the sand, Shrieking and startled by the horrendous shake.

[ haha! That looks kinda fun!!😆 ] The system replied.

'FUN??? THIS ISN'T FUN AT ALL!!!' I thought as I complained.

[ Don't be such a party pooper Kim! You're definitely enjoying this!😘 ]

'HOW AM I ENJOYING THIS!!!????' I whispered back loudly as I closed my eyes right after reading the system's texts.

[ Well... Not entirely tho! Hehe😚 ] The system replied.

The shaking continues for a few minutes until it finally stops, The dusty air covering the entire arena begins to shave away slowly by the wind.

'That was too sudden!! I almost had a heart attack!!' I thought as I grabbed my mouth and coughed lightly, Waving away the dusty wind.

As the dusty atmosphere meanders, I slowly opened my eyes as the reflection of sunrays revels through the sky.

My eyes glimmed with no expression, feeling a sense of some-what excitement. (The awakener genes)

'Woah....'

The battlefield of the arena... Has changed from plain sandy dust..... TO A WHOLE PLATFORM OF OBSTACLES!

'No.. NO WAY!!!!' I thought as my eyes glimmed more with excitement, while keeping a straight face.

The Battlefield of the arena, apparently the current third game, has changed with a whole new level of obstacles.

The middle center of the arena appears to have a plain-like grey platform where the students battle each other, The corner sides of that concrete have plain yellow lines of students that weren't supposed to touch.

If touched by the student or thrown out of the main field of that platform, You are immediately disqualified and the other student would instantly win.

That's what a normal 1v1 game is supposed to go... But since there are more features of the third game that was chosen by the instructor... and seen right now by the public, There should at least be more obstacles or other challenges that will eventually happen during this 1v1 fight.

'Though the instructor hasn't yet introduced the instructions of the third game... I guess we'll have to wait until that happens' I thought as I analyzed the platform.

[ Wow Kim, I didn't know you could think that way, For you to sharply analyze the current arena's game and structure makes it feel like you're gaining braincells again😃 ] The system replied back as it appeared in front of me

'Are you calling me dumb?' I thought back.

[ Well... I'm sure you're just going to forget about it right after this conversation.😗 ] The system replied.

'No, I don't. Why would I-.....' '.....' 'Uhh.....' '.....What did I just think of earlier again-?'

[ See? You actually forgot.😒 ]

'....' I felt a bit embarrassed right after that.

[ "I will now announce the game's description!" ]

The audiences moved their eyes towards the instructor, giving them a sense of excitement and curiosity right after the earthquake of the arena.

Instructor Elias, cleared his throat before he continued onto his speech; [ "This game has been on the recommendation screen for as long as I can remember." ]

[ "Due to the description not being that interesting enough, It wasn't chosen mostly during big events like our current exam day." ]

[ "But because of a newly added feature that was added inside the game... It really peaked my interest!" ]

The crowd began to gossip again, making their curiosity increase.

'A newly featured huh...?' I thought with the usual poker face. . . . . . . The sudden noise of walking footsteps was heard through an empty hallway...

Walking through a door where the inside was a normal yet forbidding office room.

"Have you found any useful information about the target already..?" An unknown man, with a low rusky voice spoke as the door slowly creaked open.

"Yes sir." A woman's voice answered as she formed a proper posture.

The man had a formal yet darkish attire mixed with mostly black and grey, the aura around him is familiar to a higher-up despite the expression that wasn't visible.

He continued to arrange the papers and analyze them diligently on his office table, glancing slightly towards the woman before continuing onto his work.

The woman had a seemingly sharp look with glasses and a formal attire, although the woman doesn't show her entire visage, It looks just like something that of a secretary or a secret agent.

"Please state it out." The man spoke, writing something on the paper while listening to the woman.

"Alexander Grace, born in the year of 2002, inside a private hospital of lorenburg... currently the age of 22."

"He has 3 siblings... two older, one younger, his parents are owners of the guild named Corruption, Known for being multi-awakeners and the top guild of the century." "They are also famous for conquering dungeons and selling rare items."

"They were a part of the huge dungeon break project from 3 to 4 years--"

"I did not ask for information about his parents.. Mrs., Lin. All I want to know... is how he was able to get this much power in such a short time."

"But sir.. I-isn't he a fast learner..?"

"How could he when he already has the ability to almost summon the Frostwyrm? Even more... An SS-Class Beast?" "Even a normal human couldn't hold that much power.. Nonetheless, it could destroy every organ inside the human body.. and yet, He still continued to live."

Although the man isn't just interested or curious about Alexander's Ability.... He also wants to know... How he was able to predict future predictions.

Alexander Grace was too much of a sharp person than any other genius or top higher-up would have in this world.

Although the information isn't entirely relevant nor is it entirely true, Alexander peaks his interest much more than any other target he ever investigated... though there was another target other than Alexander Grace that he, is also quite curious of.

"Didn't you inform me last time that he failed to do a mana test when he was 6?"

"Yes sir.. But he was able to work it through to get approved by the mana test again when he has 11... Even though the mana test was done only once at the age of 6."

"Apparently... Hes the first to ever done a mana test twice of a young age.. Despite being painful, he still continued to do the same mana test anyway."

"And that time is where he worked and improved horrendously .. Am I correct?"

"It seems like so.."

"Hm... Well, If he was able to handle that much power.. Then he must've had the mana to hold it inside him... Though there might be controversies in exchange." "And hes still continuing to improve like it's nothing."

"He didn't seem to have any signed contracts of constellations from the SpaceLands either... so it seems impossible for him to improve that fast and earn a powerful skill ability."

"Hm...." The man sighed deeply; "Alright then... Please continue your speech from before."

"Yes sir." The woman nodded;

"Right after the mana test was done, He immediately enrolled inside a famous private school for early awakeners and graduated with high academic knowledge." (*Or in High-honors)

"After graduating, He soon enrolled in another famous school or University called the "Awakened Academy" and was ranked second place during the Starter Exams Test."

"Although his current powers are almost as powerful as the students from the top 3 Sections of that university... he seems to be continuing to improve more than he was just a highschool student."

"Hes powers are equal to the 1st top sections of that academy aswell.. But I don't think I have much details of why he decided not to change his section and stayed as a loyal student of the Aurawhales Class."

"He had the opportunity to change his section twice for the past 2 years.. but still hasn't modified hes section once."

"There was no relevant information about his decision nor are there any intentions of changing whatsoever." "There are likely many reasons... But we still don't know the real reason yet." The woman spoke as she gave the man two documented files... with detailed information of the target(Alexander Grace) and another student.

"Hmm..." The man pondered as he took the files.

"Alright... That's all for today... Please come back once you surf his family background."

"Yes sir."

"And also continue the unfinished discussion of hes parents once you're done."

"Yes sir."

The woman turned her back as she opened the door behind her.... and eventually left the office.

The only man inside his office continued his work diligently after the woman left... seemingly exhausted from looking and analyzing from his work, paper to paper.

He yawned tirelessly as he took a quick long glance at the files that he placed on his left table.

'....'

He then took it from his left hand.. finding himself a detailed image and other information about the target; "Alexander Grace."

It hasn't been long since he started searching for data of the unlikely student that peaked his interest.

He sighed lightly as he took a long stare at the file.

''Alexander Grace...." He spoke in a whisper, with a voice so faint yet deep.

'A used to be "weakened child" ..neglected by the world and the people around him...'

'Although his story is quite interesting...'

The man flipped another file, showing another detailed information of another person.

The man that has a similar interest and curiousity to Alexander Grace, directly changed to another target. His curiosity never change even if he did modified another target... He has intentions for both targets.

But Instead of the curiosity of the Abilities and Prediction that Alexander had... Another target with similar yet same powerful abilities that also matches Alexander Grace's status.

'Hmm... What was his name again..?' 'Oh right...'

He took a closer glance at the file... his eyes forming a crescent moon.

It's not like hes curious of the target's abilities... But also curious of another thing..

'His name was Kim Johnson was it..?'

The man chuckled as he grinned at the file, showing another peak of interest at his other target.

'I wonder..... How he was able to control THAT weapon.'

'No... Maybe...'

'....'

He began to smile mischievously, staring at the file to no end; 'I wonder who you both truly are....'

'Alexander Grace and Kim Johnson...'

It seems like Kim, Is now being targeted by yet another being.

[ Expressionless Awakener ] . . . . .
