Universal Power System

Chapter 301 Magnetism

The room crackled with the hum of pulsating purple lightning as the boy wrapped the energy around his body and launched himself from the hole in the wall.

With a surge of energy, he landed on the floor and immediately began charging hall his Lightning aura into his lower body. Once the boy had condensed sufficient energy into his legs, he charged at the teacher like a human storm ready to unleash his wrath.

“You’ll pay for that, you bastard!” The boy yelled as he displayed speeds that even Mako couldn’t achieve at this point, bolting across the room and toward the teacher with bloodlust in his eyes.

As he ran, arcs of purple lightning continued to erupt from his body and lash out in all directions randomly, creating mini craters upon impact. 𝙡𝙞𝙗𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝓶

To the terrifying force and power that the boy displayed as he charged forward, even Mako was a bit concerned as this display of power was almost equivalent to him going all out and he knew that this wasn’t the extent of this boy’s power and that was what concerned him.

However, the teacher to whom this deadly assault was directed only smiled out of joy, something he hadn’t done from the moment he appeared in front of the students.

From the beginning, Mako could tell that this person who claimed to be their teacher was quite awkward while addressing them as if this was his very first time teaching and he seemed quite uninterested in the notion of teaching them as they were at such a low level.

But now, for the first, the look of excitement shined in his eyes as he was finally getting some action.

The teacher calmly raised both of his arms and swiped them to the side.

All of sudden, all of the students including Mako felt an extremely strong invisible force that they could repel even if they wished to do so. The force pushed back all of the students to his left and right by several meters creating a wide space in between for the charging boy to attack him without accidently injuring any of the students with his wild Lightning arcs.

This was the same move the teacher had done before when he had parted the students aside as he dashed in to punch the boy into the wall in the first place, but only this time, a lot more force was used so that a larger gap could be created.

With a huge smile, the man invited the boy to dash in and deal with his attack while he didn’t take any kind of stance to counter the attack and instead just stood there patiently, waiting for the worst that the boy could throw at him.

Seeing the teacher’s cocky attitude fueled the boy’s rage even more and he let out a mighty roar before finally reaching the teacher.

The first assault came in the form of lightning-quick strikes, each laced with the intense anger and power of the purple electrical currents.

The air seemed to sizzle as arcs of energy streaked through the space, aiming to envelop the teacher in their formidable grasp. Yet, with an almost preternatural awareness, the teacher effortlessly sidestepped, ducked, and weaved through the crackling onslaught.

Not a single punch nor an arc of lighting was able to graze the man as he gracefully moved only slightly to dodge every single attack.

Seeing the teacher’s obvious superior evasiveness, the boy decided to shift tactics by changing things up and trying to constrict the man’s movement.

His aura quickly changed as now he began conjuring the very earth beneath his feet. He commanded the ground to rise and twist, attempting to trap the teacher in a cocoon of earth, restricting him from moving around making it so that even if his evasiveness was high, it wouldn’t amount to much if he didn’t have space to utilize it.

Massive stone pillars in the form of tendrils erupted from the ground, appearing as if they were alive, the tendrils rushed towards the teacher, going to trap him; however, the tendrils surrounded the teacher and came with a certain distance between them and the man, all the tendrils seemingly exploded into dust without any visible interference.

The students who were observing this spectacular battle along with Mako were left stunned to see the earth tendrils just explode by themselves as the teacher hadn’t even raised his arm to deflect or attack them.

The boy who was attacking was also quite confused as he paused for a minute after witnessing his signature earth move not even being able to get close to the teacher.

The teacher continued to remain smiling with confidence as he dusted off the particles of the remains of the earth tendrils of his shirt as a way to taunt the boy.

“Are you done, little boy?” The teacher taunted the boy further with a mischievous grin on his face.

The boy’s pride was indeed hurt by the disrespect that the teacher just displayed as visible veins began to pop on his forehead and he began grinding his teeth out of anger.

***************

The boy stood there in disbelief as he had already beaten trainers who should be on the same level as newbie military teachers who usually assigned to the beginning batches of students with ease.

He was way stronger than the other kids in the advanced level and the only reason he wasn’t in the special class was because of the punishment that he received from his uncle.

His goal was to display his strength and power to the military by defeating all the students and even the teachers if he had to for them to acknowledge his strength, transfer him to the special class, and give him all the privileges that he knew he deserved.

He had already done a great job by defeating the most number of robots but since his powers were suppressed, he ended up getting overwhelmed and defeated.

His pride had already been hurt by being defeated in the very first test that had taken in military school and wanted to establish his authority and superiority by pressing on the teacher who seemed to him like someone was a newbie and a bit too arrogant for his position.

However, that plan backfired as well as not only did he expect the teacher to be strong and initiate the fight by launching him into a wall, but also be able to humiliate him further by dodging and evading every single one of his attacks without ever raising his hands

That cocky expression on the teacher’s face was adding fuel to the fire as the boy didn’t care about anything anymore and just wanted to defeat the man in front of him with everything he got.

********************

After a minute or so of the boy standing there in deep thought after the teacher had taunted him, Mako suddenly felt a shift in the boy’s aura.

This time the aura didn’t resemble anything that Mako had encountered before and yet it did feel familiar as if it was the accumulation of familiar auras that formed something new, something stronger.

Suddenly, the room itself began to shake as the boy released all of his anger in the form of power. The room they were in was lined from the floor to the roof with metal, including the robots that were roaming around and the power weapons that were held by the students.

All of these things began to shake as the boy’s aura reached out and began to influence everything made out of metal.

Mako and the rest of the students were shocked to see such a display of power as in the next moments, sheets of metal ripped themself off the floor and molded themselves into similar-looking tendrils shapes, and parts of the robots were ripped apart and molded into sharp arrow-like projectiles ready to fire and pierce through anything.

Any power weapon that had a blade was snatched out of the hands of the students and was now floating around in the air surrounding the boy as invisible guards that would protect him against anything that would seek to harm him.

The boy’s appearance turned even scarier as now it looked like he had hundreds of invisible hands that were surrounding him. The metal tendrils act like giant, sharp, and deadly whips that could act like extensions of the boy’s body.

The parts of robots that had been molded into giant makeshift arrowheads numbered in the hundreds and looked extremely sharp and could easily pierce through anything.

Lastly, the dozens of power weapons that he had snatched now acted like guards, towering around his body, to attack anything that would come near without him even having to lift a finger.

This was the trump card that the boy had in his back pocket which he had just revealed in front of the entire class!

An insane use of the Magnetism ability that essentially made him a walking, talking, one-man bastion that could attack and defend at greater levels than what he could do himself.

However, the boy wasn’t done as he also began charging his Purple Lightning again, transferring the aura into the metal itself, charging it with the aura of the Purple Lightning, making it even faster and stronger than before.

The teacher who had patiently waited for the boy to finish conjuring up his ultimate skill, still had a smile on his face as he still faced him with confidence.

“I’m gonna wipe that smirk off your face! Get Ready!” The boy shouted as he initiated his final attack against their new teacher.
