Chapter 15: Star-Prime

"The pickup is here. Let's go," Evelyn said as she picked up her bag. Aside from Arkhen, everyone had bags.

After Arkhen went outside, he was surprised to see the bus actually hovering over the ground. "The technology is so high that they can make such a flying bus?"

"This is exclusively for Star-Prime academy. Only they can make it," Mark said with a smile. "Now get on and have a good day."

Arkhen also entered the bus lastly and saw twenty-one students of varying ages, from seventeen to twenty-seven. The bus was wide and had two columns of seats, with each side having three seats.

"Come here, brother. Sit between us," Zoe said as she beckoned Arkhen. Nolan and Daniel were sitting in a row ahead of Zoe's and Evelyn's seats.

Some students looked at Arkhen curiously, some just glanced at him for a couple of seconds, while some didn't pay any attention at all.

After Arkhen entered the bus, the bus became invisible to the naked eye so nobody from outside could see and flew up.

The bus was moving extremely fast, and a barrier of energy also covered the entire bus to block the air pressure.

"Where exactly is this academy located?" Arkhen asked.

"It's located on Devon island. Common people think it's an uninhabitable island due to its extreme condition, but it is occupied by Star-Prime academy for the last hundred years," Evelyn said.

"I see…" Arkhen nodded.

"Yep. The entire academy is spread over a fifty-five thousand square kilometers area. Basically, the entire island is filled with buildings and facilities," Evelyn said.

"You will be surprised when you reach there," Zoe said with a light chuckle.

"I can't wait," Arkhen smiled.

[My lord, the main quest and a side quest are available. You can check them in the quest panel]

'Nice. Let's see…'

[Side Quest: Energy Power]

-Task: Form the primal energy core in your body, so you can start harnessing the primal energy.

-Reward: 1x random skill box (the skill gained from this box will use primal energy)

[Main Quest: Tyrant's Urge]

-Task: If you get the urge to do something, you must complete that urge within 24 hours.

-Reward: 50 reality points, 1x shop ticket.

'This is pretty brutal…' Arkhen raised his eyebrows after looking at the main quest. 'Why did you give me such a quest?'

[My lord. The quests are not assigned by me, but by the system itself. I am just a medium. But I do agree with the quest. A tyrant must not hold himself back. My lord, your past has been not good but you can live your life however you want now.]

Arkhen took a deep breath as a ferocious grin appeared on his face for a second before he quickly wiped it. 'Heh, you are right. I want to live freely and do whatever I want. I won't be constrained by this society or the world.'

Now that Arkhen thought about it, he had many wishes unfilled and his desires and ambitions had also grown after getting power.

'I am going to live with my every wish and desire full-filled, no matter what it takes. Heh, no way in hell I am holding back myself anymore!'

…

Soon, the bus arrived at the destination after twenty minutes. From California to Devon island, in just twenty minutes!

After the students left the bus, Arkhen had to separate from Zoe and others for his assessment by the academy.

"Brother, we'll meet on the lunch break. I'll call you," Evelyn said.

"Alright," Arkhen said before he followed the man in his late twenties while looking around. The environment was not cold, but very comfortable. The atmosphere was also energized and felt full of life. It didn't look like the Devon island he saw in photos on the Internet since there were many buildings and a giant tall and round building with many pathways leading to everywhere from around it.

After entering the assessment palace, Arkhen was led inside a room with two men and two women of middle-aged sitting on chairs behind a large rectangle table.

"Arkhen Walton. We have received your reports. Apparently, you are already a superhuman."

"That's right," Arkhen nodded as he already had planned to reveal this, so he told his father to not hide anything about it.

"Would you mind telling us how you awaken your power?"

"I don't know. I just awakened it four days ago," Arkhen answered.

"Show us your power while standing on that round platform, please."

Arkhen walked towards the small round platform and stood on it before creating a force-field around him.

The four people looked at their table, where they saw a display with some information.

"Hmm, so you have awakened the uni energy and a power of force-fields," the middle-aged man with a red beard said. "Your father also reported that you can take out a spear out of nowhere? Since you awakened the power of force-fields, which is related to space, I guess you opened a pocket space?"

"Yes. I could feel the space and put things inside, but only things I can carry on my hand, and it must not be in contact with anything else aside from my hand," Arkhen said with a nod.

"I assume you have yet to create your energy core since the device didn't detect an energy source. Do you know how to create it?" the woman with curly black hair said.

"I don't know," Arkhen shook his head.

"Since you are a superhuman now, you will join a group with people who have also awakened uni energy as you and learn with them under Teacher Azela, who will teach you how to create the energy core."

"You can go now. The person outside will lead you to your class."

'Damn, all of them had well over 20,000 EP. It seems that I have to become more powerful,' Arkhen thought as he left the room.

[My lord, once you finish creating the primal energy core, you can harness your power and increase it. As I guess you already understood, since they have higher EP than you, they can easily break your force-field.]

'Yeah, I guessed as much. EP is like a measurement of their power. For instance, if my 1000 EP force-field is a wooden board, then their EP attacks should be powerful metal. They can easily break my force-fields,' Arkhen said as he understood the concept.
