《SSS-Rank Chaos Mage》4. Chaos Element
Advertisement
The field trip ended soon, and before long, the students were back on the bus and headed back to their school. On their way, everyone was excitedly discussing the void gate they had just visited, except for one person who remained silent. Noah kept staring at the message in front of him.
[Ding. System Activated]
[Ding. Divine Chaos System is now initializing…]
He still did not know what this was but he understood one thing. It was not simple magic and it wasn't something that everybody had. For example, others couldn't even see it. So perhaps no one in this world had something like this. And the question was why was it popping up in front of him?
There was a nagging suspicion in his mind. The previous resident of his body was mysteriously gone. What happened to the real Noah? How did he get here? Ian did not believe in coincidences so he couldn't help but jump to the obvious conclusion. This strange system had something to do with the previous Noah's disappearance or perhaps even death! Sure, this was a straightforward conclusion but sometimes the simplest explanation was the correct one.
Noah absentmindedly stared ahead for a while before he sighed and shook his head. There was no point in thinking about all these now. He had a feeling that this thing should soon finish 'initializing' and then he would probably, hopefully, get more answers. The school bus soon arrived at the destination and all the students started pouring out. It was the last class after all so everyone was excited to head back to their dorms and check out their room arrangement.
Noah was one of the last to get out and before he could decide what to do next, he found himself being dragged by a pair of strong yet slender hands. "Ahem. Ella? Where are we going?" Noah tried to ask the girl but she shushed him and then dragged the both of them to the first years building's terrace. Unfortunately, it looks like the terrace was a popular destination these days and two groups of delinquent-looking students were already there.

"Ahem. Why don't we go to the library?" Noah suggested instead.
Ella gave him a look and then the two of them arrived at the library which was on the third floor. There were not many students there so it was an ideal spot to have a conversation.
"Let's go there." She dragged Noah into one of the study rooms and only then let go of his hand.
"What happened, Noah? Now tell me everything." She asked, her eyebrows knitted together in worry.
Ummm… Noah blinked. What am I supposed to tell this girl? As if answering his question, Ella sighed and spoke again, "You haven't even called your mom and dad for the past year. Do you know how worried they are?"
"So what if you don't have any magic talent? They don't care about that. I don't care about that. Why do you care so much? It really is not that big of a deal. You should already just transfer to the engineering division. How is being an engineer any worse than being a mage? They are equally important to our world. You know that. So why are you adamantly staying here and torturing yourself? Before leaving, your mother asked me to tell you to call her. You should do that. She is very worried about you."
Noah remained silent. There was actually an engineering division in this same school? This was new information to him. Damn. I really need to put an effort and learning more about this place. He silently made a mental note.
"Why are you silent? Won't you say something?" The clear blue eyes looked at Noah both angrily and worriedly.
Noah smiled. The girl was a bit bossy but he did not mind it. This was already more warmth and affection than he had ever received in his previous life. His dad was a distant bastard who only knew how to work or drink and he had never seen his mom. Even if he went three days without eating there was no one to ask him about it.

"I will look into the engineering division," Noah replied without blowing the girl off completely.
"You will? Really?" Ella's eyes immediately brightened up.
"Yes." Noah nodded and he was not bluffing. He would first check out what this system thing was and if it didn't work out then the engineering division it was.
"Noah. This is great! Aunty and uncle will be so happy to hear about this. It's not like you are taking a step down. I have complete faith in you. You will become a great engineer and discover some amazing magic device-" While Ella continued saying a few words of encouragement, unexpectedly once again the same flashing translucent screen appeared in front of Noah.
[Ding. Divine Chaos System is now online]
He suddenly felt a strange pull and the entire world around him darkened. It was pitch black everywhere.
"What? What happened?" He tried to see where he was and once again he found himself in the same spot in the library near the same girl.
"Huh? What happened, Noah? Are you okay?" Ella worriedly looked at him.
Noah stared at her for a second and then nodded. "Yes. I am fine." While he was still talking with her, now another screen popped up in front of him and flashed brightly.
…
Name: Noah
Affinity: Chaos Element
Rank: N/A
Level: 0
Experience points: 0/500
Health: 100
Mana: N/A
Chaos: 0
Vitality: 5
Stamina: 5
Intellect: 5
Strength: 5
Defense: 5
Agility: 5
…
...
What the hell… Noah was completely dumbfounded at this game-like script. What was all of this? His name was there so all of these descriptions were about him? More importantly, his eyes landed on the affinity section and it was not empty. He actually had an affinity to an element?
"Chaos element," Noah muttered in deep thought.
"Huh? What did you say?" Ella asked as she was still busy consoling him and hadn't heard this part properly.
"Have you heard about something called chaos?" Noah asked again. He absolutely had no idea what this was and hadn't seen anyone from his class as well testing for this affinity. Even in his archived memories, there was nothing about this. It seemed weird since he was in this person's body, so how could he not know about this affinity? Unless… perhaps it was rare?
Noah looked at Ella who seemed equally clueless. It was a good thing they were in a library. They could simply go and look around to find answers. "Eh? Why do we need to go and search in the books? Everything is online." Ella took out a phone from her pocket. For god's sake!
There was a phone in this world! Noah received another shock. It turns out that his luck was so bad. The guy's body he had accidentally possessed had nothing on him. Not even a phone! "I think I must have lost mine. Can you look up 'chaos element'?"
Ella nodded and typed in. She tried it a few different times but found absolutely nothing useful. "Wait, I will try on the school's server. They might have more information." She mumbled and typed in her name and enrollment number to access that. A minute later, she excitedly shouted. "Noah! I got something!"
