Chapter 15: Shock The World
"Aisha?"
"Hm?"
"What am I seeing?"
Aisha turned her gaze towards the monitor where Malachi was being orbited by several weights as he silently pondered something with furrowed brows.
The timer at the bottom of the screen read thirty minutes and forty eight seconds.
Turning back to her shocked guild master, Aisha fought the urge to roll her eyes. "Boss I think you should learn to not be shocked by the things you'll see him do otherwise your brain will explode."
Luna absentmindedly nodded.
What kind of a freak was this kid?!
Morgan and Alex weren't having much better reactions.
With a glance at each other, both men knew they'd come to the same conclusion.
This man had to be blessed by atleast a godking.
There was no way he got such incredible power from someone like Persephone after all.
'As if this bastard and his blessing from Surtur wasn't enough now there's another one of us.' Alex was fuming as he stared back and forth between Morgan and Malachi.
Alex could tell that this brat who was barely half his age had to also be blessed by a primordial and he immediately got a headache.
Malachi was just as strong as him, and his other stats weren't far behind his either.
If he wasn't controlled, he'd become a problem that he couldn't allow to live.
Inwardly, he was thanking Luna.
If she hadn't let him know about such a big fish, he might've missed the catch and had to put him down instead.
'Maybe I should let her have the next one as a thank you.'
-
"A-alright we get it, you can put them down now." The examiner stammered.
"Hm? Oh, right." Malachi snapped out of his thoughts and placed all of the weights back down.
The young man looked up at the other examinees and most flinched at his gaze.
The only ones who didn't were Bianca and the white haired young man.
Even though they did not flinch, each of them were giving him strange looks of their own.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Mal got tired of waiting and decided to just be direct.
Whatever problems would arise would be dealt with but after the hard life he'd lived these past few years, he felt like he was owed some time to just be himself and not worry about anything else.
And this was the first step to doing that.
He reached the magic circle and four of the stone tablets vibrated furiously before a gem began to glow in each.
-
Outside in the viewing lobby, the only sounds that could be heard were those of chewing coming from Aisha and Aubrey.
The two girls had gotten slightly hungry while watching the exam, so they were currently snacking on bags of chips as they sat in their own world seemingly oblivious to the silence around them.
Nobody blinked.
Nobody even spoke.
They were all too stunned to say anything.
Alex was the first to break the silence as he stared gobsmacked at the young man he believed he'd had totally figured out.
"This.. this has to be some kind of malfunction!"
Seemingly in response to that, Malachi began demonstrating his powers on the monitor and everyone could see his hands crackle with black lightning.
Luna felt her brain completely freeze as she watched the young man who was just in her office last night shoot a destructive lightning blast from his fingertips that pulverized a target and the wall behind it.
"How…how is this possible?" Luna weakly muttered.
As if the sound of Luna's stunned voice was all they were waiting for, the girls suddenly looked up from their conversation to see the entire room staring at the monitor in disbelief.
"Aww brother started already and we missed it!" Aubrey pouted.
"It's okay, it seems like he's not done quite yet."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Malachi got down on all fours and his body shifted and stretched until he was a panther the size of a horse.
"I-it's really true.." Morgan muttered.
"Did you know he could do that, Aisha?" Aubrey asked.
"No, but do you think he'd let me ride his back if I asked?"
"Maybe?" Aubrey shrugged.
The crowd that was watching this was completely shocked.
Why are they treating this like it was normal?!
"Hey I just realized something funny!" Aubrey suddenly exclaimed.
" Let me hear it."
"If brother is blessed by a god of thunder and a panther goddess, does that make him a thunder cat?"
"Pffft… Aubrey that's so lame!" Aisha tried to hold in her laughter but it proved to be to no avail as the two girls laughter resounded throughout the silent room.
