It didn’t take long for the Staff Woman to briskly powerwalk back to her kiosk with a small box in hand. Then, seeing that Cynrik was waiting patiently, she hurried over, straightened her pencil skirt, and sat back at her desk. Then she placed the small wooden box on the tray and sent it over to Cynrik, explaining its contents.

“I apologize for the wait; it took me a bit to gather all the contents of your New Student starter pack, not to mention I had to verify that the extra items were in line with your contract.”

Cynrik didn’t stand on ceremony and opened the box only to find a small spatial ring inside. Realizing what it was, he picked it up and placed it on his left thumb before examining the shiny platinum exterior of the ring and its contents alongside the woman’s narration.

“The starter pack is standard for all enrollees; it contains the basic necessities such as bedding, hygiene products, kitchen utensils, and the training modules for your dorm room’s Training Room. With the modules, you need to install them in the dorm’s Artificial Intelligence, and the AI will take over from there.” The Staff Woman rattled off a checklist of items stored in the small ring while Cynrik verified everything along the way.

“Next, as per the notes on your file, I have included the Tier-2 Evolution materials, one Evo-Stone Fragment, three Affinity Stone Fragments, one Fire, one Wind, and one Dark, a batch of metabolism boosters, one mental fortification pill, and two efficiency boosters.”

This time, Cynrik’s eyes shot wide open, and if he weren’t in public, his mouth would have dropped open as well. There was a lot of information to unpack in that simple list she had just listed out, leaving Cynrik at a loss for what to say.

Realizing he had stayed quiet too long and feeling the heated gaze from the Staff woman, Cynrik nodded a couple of times, changing from a shocked expression to an all-knowing one.

“Everything seems to be here.” He said, trying to calm his rapidly racing mind.

‘Tobs, what the fuck are Affinity Stones, and efficiency boosters? I can assume the basic function of metabolism boosters and mental fortification pills.’

Keeping up with the conversation with the Staff woman, who had explained more useless info, such as how to sign up for classes and whatnot, Cynrik split his attention to Tobs descriptions and explanations.

-Unlike when a being evolves to Tier-1, more resources are required the higher you advance to aid your body through its changes.-

-Tier-2 is vastly different from Tier-1 as the being will undergo fundamental changes to how their body processes the accumulation of Mana. As such, a catalyst is required for the being to “upgrade” their Codex and Affinities into the next Tier. This is the purpose of Affinity stones. Unlike in previous Tiers, where the being can rely solely on Ambient Mana Particles to undergo their Evolutions, from Tier-2 onward, an external source is required. This is why Affinity Stones are listed as an essential material for Evolution.-

-Affinity stones, like Evo-Stones, are materials that have been saturated in Mana to the point where they have, in a sense, evolved into something that can contain higher levels of Mana particles.-

-Efficiency Boosters and Metabolism Boosters are materials created by beings with the Alchemist or Chemist classes. They aid the Evolving being in processing the energy absorbed from Evo-Stones and Affinity Stones. Efficiency Boosters allow you to have less wasted energy during the transfer, and Metabolism Boosters give you much needed extra nutrients which your body will burn; if not, you would lose a lot of weight and muscle mass during your Evolution.-

-Lastly, the Mental Fortification pill…well, it should be entirely unnecessary for all the members of MyrkLys. It is used by weaker beings with low MIND Stats or weak wills. Something none of you lack, I advise you to sell them for more Merit Points since you, as you say, “Done Goofed” by tossing aside your chance to get free materials for your Tier-3 Evolution.-

“That’s everything you need to know; your enrollment is completed; as the Head Dean stated, classes will begin the following Monday. You are free to use the remaining time settling into your new dorm or going to the training facilities until then.”

The Staff woman finished her side of the conversation just when Cynrik was about to reply to Tobs, pulling his attention back to her. He stood up while thanking the woman before walking away from the kiosk without saying another word.

His mind was a storm of questions, but he suppressed these thoughts and walked towards the center of the office building, opting to observe as many of the other S-Ranks as possible before Selene and Brance, who were still in the process of finishing their paperwork, joined him.

Using [Mana Sight], Cynrik scanned each kiosk, allowing him to look at everyone’s strength quickly. But after a few minutes of not finding anyone he considered a challenge, Cynrik became bored and went back to trying to figure out the timing of the Futae no Kiwami, also known as the “Double Layer Limit.”

Although it appeared simple to the naked eye, the attack was anything but. The Futae no Kiwami revolves around the theory that all matter has a certain resistance level, causing a single strike’s impact to be wasted upon meeting this said resistance.

The critical point of the attack is using two blows, which will first break that innate resistance before delivering the full power of your strike. However, what Cynrik was trying to complete was only the first part of the skill, which can be further broken down into stages. The final one is the use of any part of the person’s body to execute the full strength of the Futae No Kiwami.

In the first stage, you use only your fist; the first strike, which is intended to break through the object’s innate resistance, is delt using your hand’s proximal interphalangeal joints (the first bending joint above your knuckles). After breaking through the object’s resistance, Cynrik has less than a millisecond to collapse his hand into a perfect fist and strike the exact same point a second time, hitting the target nearly the same time as the first strike.

If executed perfectly, the end result should be registered by his system as a devastating critical hit since the target no longer has any resistance and takes on the full impact.

In theory, it shouldn’t be too difficult to pull off the attack, but Cynrik quickly realized how naive he was to believe that. Setting aside how hard it was to get the timing down, another issue presented itself: the accuracy of his second blow.

Every time he landed the second blow, it would impact too high, approximately the distance between his first and second knuckles, nullifying the attack’s fundamental principle.

Thus, not only was he fighting to get the speed of the attack down, but he was forced to add an extra step into the attack, rolling his fist downwards as he completed the second strike. This, in a sense, completely threw off his accuracy, and as a result, Cynrik had yet to execute the attack successfully.

Sighing heavily, Cynrik could only resign himself to repetitively working on the combination of collapsing his left hand into a fist before rolling his wrist downward and pushing forward.

Luckily, with how his mind worked, he imagined a punching bag in front of his hand and could picture where his knuckles would hit, saving him the time and potential physical issues of constantly striking the bag hundreds of thousands of times. Thinking back to the character in that show and how he practically pulverized the bones in his hand, learning and eventually executing the Futae no Kiwami, Cynrik had chosen this route of getting the timing down before using his strength to hit something solid.

Around 15-20 minutes later, Brance and Selene met up and found Cynrik standing in the room’s corner, punching subtly towards the ground while leaning against the wall. Except for Brance, who already knew what Cynrik was working on, Selene and anyone else who saw him would just think it was some kind of stim from ADHD.

[[Hey, we are all finished here, Cyn, Let’s go find Gabby and Benny and head to get a bite to eat.]] Brance said calmly, not wanting to startle Cynrik, who was deep in a training trance.

[[Ohhh, food sounds good, im fucking starving.]] The mention of food had Selene’s mouth-watering since they hadn’t eaten since before they left for the Selections in the morning.

[[Fine, let’s head over to Hall-A and pick up the kids,]] kicking off the wall and walking passed Selene and Brance, Cynrik said and headed for the exit back towards the arena.

While they walked away from the Enrollment office, the three Over-Break hosts chatted about the materials and the revelation that more items other than the Evo-stone would be required for future Evolutions, which were unknown even to Selene, who came from an affluent family.

[[It’s that fucking information Law. How closed-minded is the stupid government of this country? Honestly, I am surprised it’s still flourishing with how heavy those restrictions are. The general populace appears to be weak as fuck since they have no idea how small their world is.]] Cynrik aired his frustrations and stepped out of Hall-S and into the arena, where he spotted thousands of kids forming into cliques and groups.

However, just as he stepped away from the giant banner showing off the name of the Hall, Cynrik sensed an object come hurtling towards him.

He sidestepped to the right without bothering to look and lashed out using only 20% of his full strength with a sidekick.

“UGHHHHH!” a voice screamed in anguish as Cynrik felt some weight hanging over his leg, which annoyed him enough to finally glance over only to see a teenage boy in the air, held up only by Cynrik’s leg.

“HOLY SHIT!”

“Did you see that? He stopped that guy mid-air?”

“Woah!”

“Hey, wait, that guy just came out of the S-Rank Hall!”

Still holding the half-conscious, struggling teenager in the air with only his extended leg, Cynrik ignored the gasps of nearby onlookers and glared at the bastard who tried sneak attacking him.

“Troublesome fucking kids, can’t a guy just walk in peace to pick up his party members.” Spitting out the sentence with apparent hostility, Cynrik flicked his leg to the right, bouncing the teenager off and into the air, before whipping the same leg at a strange angle and firing off a question mark kick.

BAMMMM!

Upon impact, the teenage spat a mouthful of blood and was sent crashing into a group of onlookers.
