Absolute Soul
79. The Adele situation

"What the fuck...." Salvia stopped her fight with Verna when she heard Veindal's loud cry that ordered the Blazer guards to disable the arena barrier, she turned to the arena and found her father, Veindal, standing in the middle of the arena field.

"This is the work of Blackout," said Verna intend to explain successfully attract the attention of Salvia, but had not had time to say further Jack came to both while dragging Haikal.

"Hey, let me go, Jack!"

"There's no way that if I let you go you'll definitely approach the Headmaster and ask in dissatisfaction."

"Then explain the situation so I can understand!"

Jack sighed for a moment before throwing Haikal towards the passageway that was on the edge of the arena, Salvia who saw that reflexively caught Haikal.

"Hey, that Haikal is still hurt by your fight, don't throw it!" Salvia exclaimed inadmissible Jack threw Haikal as if throwing disposable items.

"Already Salvia, my wounds have partially recovered, so it doesn't matter." Haikal was upset because he was thrown by Jack, but he tried to calm Salvia so as not to arise other problems.

"If Haikal says so fine." Salvia did not dispute that further considering Haikal also did not mind, but he still did not accept the treatment of Jack who beat Haikal mercilessly in the previous game.

After the atmosphere between the three calmed down, Jack explained their situation as well as what was happening throughout Adele now.

According to Jack's explanation, Adele is currently being attacked by an organization called Blackout. Their goal is not yet known for certain, but it is likely that Blackout will target the finalists of this year's tournament.

"Indeed it's uncertain, but most likely we're all Blackout targets," Jack explained briefly. He also added that Cecil and Heru who are being treated in the treatment room are also their targets.

The reason Blackout was aiming for the six might be because it wanted to recruit them into the organization and strengthen itself. Considering Verna and Salvia were two of the four generation geniuses this time around, it was nothing to be surprised by.

Not only Verna and Salvia, Cecil who was the owner of the rare Jade Phoenix was also bound to be their target because of his powerful healing abilities.

In addition to the girls, Jack who is able to adapt to his enemy's fighting style is also a rare and good asset. If Jack were to join Blackout, their abilities could obviously improve considerably.

"Heru is also quite strong as a candidate for Blazer, but maybe his talents that are classified as ordinary will be ignored by them." Jack then pointed at Haikal after saying so, "Then you, the one who mastered the embodiment of high-level soul energy."

"Me?" Haikal pointed to himself a little surprised and did not understand why Blackout would recruit himself, even though he was just a loser who had not been able to awaken the Soul Arc.

Jack sighed at Haikal's surprised reaction, "Look yes, you probably don't know because you have no comparison, but your soul energy embodiment technique is as high or higher as the Cardinal Blazer, though, it might even be equivalent to the level of the Divinity Blazer."

Haikal wanted to reply to Jack but did not find the right words, but before that Jack said that the Berserker Plate technique and Void Breaker that can withstand his Gaia's Maelstrom was probably a move that only Master-level Blazers can do upwards.

Haikal's expression shriveled when he heard Jack's opinion. He felt Jack's words were too exaggerated because he was just a Blazer candidate who had not been able to awaken the Soul Arc.

"Haikal, Jack's words have a point. Your ability to control pure soul energy without the Soul Arc is probably higher than my father's," Salvia argued. He could see Haikal feeling Jack's words were just exaggerating himself.

Hearing Salvia's statement, Haikal's feelings were mixed after finding out. It never occurred to her mind that the inhumane exercises she had been doing had yielded more results than she had expected.

It is true that Haikal has been looking for various things about the world per-Blazeran earlier than children his age, but because it has no standard to compare Haikal never knows how high the control of pure soul energy.

Without realizing Haikal's face seemed radiant when knowing his ability was rated so high.

"I know that you're happy to be praised, but we can't be happy in the current situation" Jack said, noting that Adele is currently being beaten by Blackout.

"I know that," Haikal replied a little upset his precious moment was destroyed by Jack, but he himself understood this was not the time to be happy, "By the way, I remember that Blackout was not based outside Wulodhasia? Why would they attack Adele?"

"You know the rumors about Spaceless Blazer?" Jack asked.

"Spaceless Blazers? What'sthat?" When the atmosphere was quite serious, Salvia who did not know anything suddenly cursed with a flat face.

At once Haikal, Jack, and Verna patted their foreheads while forgetting Salvia who lived in a different world from them. Thanks to his insensitive nature, Salvia lived only in the residence of Volksky and knew almost nothing about the outside world other than the per-Blazeran world.

Verna then briefly explains that Spaceless Blazer is a nickname that refers to a Wizard-type Blazer who has one of the rarest types of Soul Arc, "His ability is to manipulate space and time."

"Manipulating space and time?" Salvia's eyes widened to hear this.

Manipulating space and time is hard to believe when speaking from the side of science and technology today, but the story is different if a Soul Arc is able to do that.

Soul Arc is a weapon, power, or ability created from the human subconscious. The shapes and abilities possessed by each Soul Arc usually vary but remain in one group according to their respective categories.

"Well, it's likely that that's how they can do chaos in several countries at once even if the distance is so far away," Jack closed their discussion about how Blackout attacked Adele despite the distance from their headquarters quite far, "As I recall recently they also messed up in the Kingdom of Wileshia."

Haikal clenched his hands so tightly at Jack's reasonable words, then he suddenly recalled one thing about the out-of-town incident that had recently filled his head.

"Spaceless Blazers.... Blackouts.... Verg movement.," said Haikal slowly just realized this.

The look on Jack, Verna, and Salvia's faces changed immediately upon hearing Haikal's slow muttering. They realize that the possibility of these three things being continuous is not low.

"Don't the explosion just now...." Jack's eyes widened once recalling the powerful explosion capable of shaking the academy's ground, he suspected that the explosion might have been caused by something terrifying.

As the atmosphere between the three felt so gripping, the sound of a special siren was heard so loudly spreading to the entire side of Adele along with the sound of a warning from someone, "Verg! Verg's entering the city!"

Author

Hey, long time no see in this story. I don't want most of the pleasantries, get to the point and maybe this sounds rude to a lot of people, so sorry in advance.

I'd like to point out that "IF YOU GUYS WANT TO FIND THE OP DIRECT MC, GENIUS, COLD-BLOODED RUTHLESS, ANTI-HERO/ANTI-VILLAIN, OR SOMETHING, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER READING!"

I was a little offended when a reader said "The MC is weak, stupid, and naive, not exciting". I'm sorry, but I'm not a big fan of MC OP, genius, or psycho who doesn't snack.

Gini yes, I wrote this Absolute Soul story on the basis of "Shounen", he said", for those who do not know Shounen is something similar genre whose main target is boys to teenagers whose main element is "Zero to Hero", the general example is Naruto, Dragon Ball, and others, Black Clover, One Piece, etc.

Then, I made the MC of this story (Haikal) instead of reincarnating a second life like most fantasy stories on this platform and Haikal was just a teenager, not an old geezer in the body of children like Xiao Chen in LPN who already bitterly frowns the wryness of life. His mental age is much different bro/sis.

The word "naive" in this story is normal for a teenager in his 15s and does not need to be too commented on, there will be character development.

I accept criticism and advice, BUT his commissar makes sense too. No krisar "MC weak bego naive, not exciting". That's not the name, it's "thousands in style" but just because it doesn't like the naive MC Zero to Hero.

If reading like this does not suit your taste, you can read other stories and I will not forbid. If you really want to continue reading then accept the consequences as a reader for following the story.

I swear to God, I most do not like it if it is arranged the same reader 😑 krisar may, but do not let the basic elements of the story like the case of AoT: Requiem because fans are not satisfied with the ending Hajime-sensei, because the fans are not satisfied with the ending Hajime-sensei, those who read should have accepted the consequences.

Don't be that kind of reader, okay? Be a wise reader. Indonesia is already short of wise and moral people, please do not be reduced.

So, yes, this is my last warning, if this reading is not in accordance with taste please find another reading. No one forbids it.
