章節 7: 7 Attacked 1
Ben was utterly confused by the name of his school then he thought back to that face that came from the ring to ridicule him. He took a second glance at the ring in his hands but saw nothing. Ben stood confused until the black robed wizard, wizard Ella, came up to him saying.
"They do that to test the Will of whoever wishes to enter their school. No one knows how they did it, not even my school that specializes in darkness-type spells do."
Ben looked at her with even more confusion, he had no idea what that ghost face of himself was but he was glad he would never see it again. Six other people had picked up the same ring as Ben but only three were able to hold on with a ghastly pale face at the end. This was when they knew wizardry wasn't a bed of roses or a walk in the park. They were an additional two girls and one boy making them a total of four that were going to attend the same institute, The Phantom.
The choosing took about an hour at most mainly because it took sometime for a ring to be chosen.
" Alright, all these rings have been chosen by you. You must keep these rings with utmost care and do not allow others to take it from you, for without these rings even though you are all now a Chosen you won't be given entry to your institutes. There have indeed been cases where the owner dies or it gets stolen away from them. I advice you keep them with your life. You will continue to live your lives for the next 275 days in preparation to leave your home of comfort, luxury, pain and misery to take a road filled with power and great exploits so you better start meditating from this moment onward. "
The six wizards behind stood up in unison and gave a slight bow. They stood on their feet with the power that they possess rolling off their body. People could clearly see that this was just an act of pride. The seven wizards met the Count and gave their regards then took off to the next destination, Pika state, a state after Swetz state, Ben's state.
There are indeed other wizards sent to other part of the Kingdom. Roughly four sets of wizards are led to bring the Chosen from other states, so it would take some time to finish the choosing in the Kingdom.
By the time they were done and left the palace hall it was already dark and only a few friends were allowed to wait outside.
"We've spent so much time, we have to go to the market to buy some things before heading home" said Anna in a long face but she felt her heart doing a thousand back flips a second.
After spending two more hours shopping they decided to head home. On their way back Ben took out the meditation scroll he was given. He figured it would take a long time to fully understand how to meditate because the process written is extremely lengthy. On the bumpy road Ben closed his eyes and let his mind drift.
"I wonder what type of wizardry spells or section I'll be put in. But first I need to make my body stronger than this, maybe there's a gym here?" Ben mumbled to himself knowing that he has so many preparations to make. When Ben was remembering the feeling he had while traveling he suddenly came to a realisation. "beside what was that voice I heard when transversing program project T43 computer, I've never... ".
"Program Project T43 Super Computer activated. Is there anything you want to know, Project T43 is ready." Ben was cut short by female mechanical voice that sounded sweet but had no expression to it.
Ben was completely taken aback, he didn't understand what was happening from the very beginning till now and this, a mechanical voice, that says to be of a year way to distance from the year of his previous life and then being sent together him to a year way to back to be his. 'what's really going on? '. Well looks like he would have to ask the voice. But how is he going to do that, more like how is he going to look talking to himself. Utterly awkward.
"Uhm Project T43, what are you? "Ben asked after thinking for a suitable question to ask.
"I am a super computer created for the world. I was designed after the Third World War to help the human race make better decisions and since the human race has had a breakthrough in technology they built me the strongest fastest and versatile Super Computer. I am the first of its kind."
"THIRD WORLD WAR!!! My goodness are human beings really not going to get along with their differences? Weren't the other two World Wars enough already. Wow, just wow... " Ben was amazed by the answer, he could remembered that there hasn't been any technology at such an advanced stage, and now for such a technology to be in his possession... uh, in him, is pretty cool.
"Is there anything else you could do? " Ben asked, he didn't believe that a super computer at such an advanced stage would only be a calculator.
"I have 8492 functions available. However, a high number of functions have been disrupted due to some disturbance while I was launched. Repair Program can restore those functions. Do you want to repair?" said the female robotic voice.
"Huh? You can repair yourself? Now that's why you're worthy to be called a Super Computer... " Ben was glad to hear the Super Computer has so many functions and still had some damaged ones that could be fixed. He knew for such task it would take some time so he asked, "If you are in Repair Mode, can you still use your other functions?"
"As long as the task given to me aren't among my damaged files, then yes, I can still be of use." at this point Ben was extremely relieved
"What should I call you thought? it feels weird not knowing what to call you, don't you think? " Ben asked another question.
"I am originally named T43, while it is up to the user's wishes to decide if the program can be renamed to the user's choice. " Ben sighed in relief, he wasn't sure if he would remember that in a long time. So he chose to change the computer's name.
"What about Lucy, that sounds about right doesn't it? "
"If you.... "
BOOM!!!
The carriage was tumbled over by so much force it broke many parts of the woods to pieces.
Wails could be heard a bit far from where Ben was laying down on a pile of rubble.
"Anna... cough, cough... Anna! " Ben was in a lot of pain but he didn't care as he tried moving and crawling awkwardly on the floor looking for his sister.
"Ben... cough, cough... " west of Ben's current position Anna raised her blood stained arm then promptly dropped it. Maybe it was because of pain or that she didn't have the energy left to lift up her arm any longer.
"...in... incoming... incoming danger" Ben tried to focus of the voice in his dizzy head "Incoming danger in 6 metres, 9 individuals, 7 males and 2 females, they add heavily armed... " before Ben could look at his surroundings he heard again "...duck and roll left, danger! duck and roll left..." he tried to understand the warning as he tried to look around him.
A giant axe the size of a small boulder came crashing down at his direction, that's when he understood the warning. He ducked, rolled over to the left then stopped.
BANG!
The heavy axe landed heavily sending gravel and stone everywhere.
"...incoming danger, behind you, stand up and run forward... " Lucy said another set of instructions but the problem was the direction he is meant to to take was where the axe wielding person is. He couldn't do anything but follow Lucy's advice and charged toward the axe wielder.
Ben was only about one metre away from the axe wielder and found out that the axe wielder was having trouble raising his axe. He had originally exerted so much energy to give Ben a killing blow. When a person finds out his weakness has been found he would try his best to counteract. However, in this axe wielder case he was just too slow.
Ben had noticed he has become a lot more stronger, faster and agile than the previous owner of this body after he transverse into this world. Ben then allowed himself to move with great speed towards the axe wielder and in a blink of an eye he reached his destination. Ben used the opportunity and gave him a powerful uppercut on the chin. He previously had the strength to lift fifty to a hundred pounds but with the boost from his Universal plane he knew he could lift a lot more than before.
"...turn around, back step left foot, back step right foot, duck... "Lucy have another order and this time Ben didn't think twice.
Ben turned around and saw fine slashes of silver coming his way from behind. He quickly took a left step back followed by a right. The swordsperson was so fast the only thing he could make out of him was his after image. After taking the steps back Ben ducked as the person tries to use his broad sword to dismember his head from his body.
"...front roll, back kick... "
Ben saw the opening and rolled forward. The swordsman was shocked to have failed to kill his target with his most favorite assassination skill. While he kept thinking how he missed and how he let Ben escape he suddenly felt his left knee dislocate. Ben followed Lucy's instructions and was glad that his attacker was in a state of shock so he chose to act then. if he was any second late it could have been him in the ground now.
"Ahh...!! " the Swordsman fell to the ground crying in agony. Ben never thought he would have been able to do what he just did if it wasn't for Lucy.
"...side step to the left... " another order came as Ben was trying to catch his breath. He wouldn't stop obeying unless he wanted to die. And that is something he wouldn't want to experience again.
Swoosh Swoosh
Two steaks of fine metal passed by him just as his legs touched the ground after taking a side step at the nick of time. Those arrows passed with so much force it drove half way into the ground. You didn't have to be genius to know that the string of that bow was pulled by a very strong man in his thirties. In this world where there is endless killing most men and women decide to train their body to be stronger. And this person is definitely one of those people who did.
Two more figures decided to step out of the shadows and watched Ben. They could see Ben wasn't an easy target as they thought. They chose to surround him in order to flank him from all sides.
"Left figure: 6 foot 9. Strength: can lift approximately 250lb. Medical status: healthy. Disability: fractured ankle, poor eye sight. Weakness: ankle, eye sight, speed... " Lucy's voice came again, it wasn't an order this time but a health report. This left Ben speechless.
'what do I have in me??? ' Ben cried inwardly.
Ben had been thought by his father, old Williams, on simple locks, disruption of formation stance, stance, and other basic skills used while fighting. For this guy he knew just the move to use on someone who's weakness is speed, he has to further destroy his opponents legs.
