After reaffirming his own views, with the words from Beat Springer, Robin took another day to organize his thoughts and plans before getting back into a focused training schedule as before.

That said, on the same day that he did, the teachers said they would be toning down the usage of the death system to 3 deaths and leaving 2 extra lives. They explained why at that time.

“As you all know, because of the changes to the Gamer system, we effectively destroyed the underworld network in 8 regions, news of only 5 regions was actually revealed to the public but this has severe consequences. More often than not, the network is created and funded by the Oceania Villains. The problem with such a cleansing is that almost every time we do it there is a major war against oceania. They would send several hero level threats along with a strike force. Also, prior to this we had never had massive breakdowns, only political breakdowns and crippling the network, never a true takedown. With such a massive washing, without a doubt we will get an ever bigger pushback.” He said.

“Mr Might, are you saying there might be war?” One of the students asked.

“Yes, that is why we are already in the process of moving all powerless civilians into the digital realm created by Techno and the Evers twins. Furthermore, we are moving around most of the weaker gamers that have moved to America until after the attack.” He explained.

“Sir, what about the rest?” Robin asked.

“Over the last year, since the academy was planned out, Techno has built a wide spread bunker system that will break out of the ground. It has been certified to handle casual hero level blows so it can withstand some punishment if attacked directly and it is made in compartments that will house many different units underground. Of course, this is in the case they attack here in richmond.” He said.

The children noticed something, “Sir, are you saying you think they are likely to attack here explicitly?” Lola asked.

“Their leader is a very sadistic man, since we took something he values, quite firmly in fact, he is likely to aim for something we value dearly and that is without a doubt, you children. You are the next generation being trained in a very unique and effective manner. You can easily see by looking at all the top students of each branch of classes. You’ve all gone through several power bloomings since we came to this school and it’s only gotten more intense since the start of the year. You’ve all still got 2 years to graduate so what do you think the future might hold for all of you. This is something they are keen to take down so I’m saying this now, the incoming month will be one where everyone should be on alert. The attack can come at any time since they possess teleporters on their side.” Mr Might said.

Everyone’s face hardened but they understood that they weren’t going to be protected, they were the next generation meaning they would have to fight if it came to it.

Robin trained hard but he also started to look at the world core and tried to understand its power and think of methods to fight with it even if he couldn’t use the power it produced.

He breathed calmly as his psychic energy and life essence channeled through all of his body and he moved about to see how well he could maintain it. He smiled as he saw that it had become a lot easier thanks to the boost in intelligence.

When he finally achieved a stable state the system, funnily enough, updated his skill level for the life essence and psychic energy to level 20.

“It’s really been a while since that was updated, I had been wondering why it wasn’t actively going up.”

System was primarily focused on scanning user’s status growth over skill growth.

The reply made Robin chuckle before he started to wonder how he would work with the core and moved it to his hand. Because it was in the acupoint, it was also in the middle of the blended flow of psychic and life essence. When it was there, he was surprised to feel something as it lightly vibrated on contact with the two energies.

He didn’t know how to explain it exactly but he tried to activate, very weakly, the gravity and to his surprise, it released a weak wave into the surroundings that actually began to affect the surroundings and not just Robin.

He frowned and stopped as he looked at the hand with the stone.

He stopped the life essence flow and gathered up the remaining energy and tried to test out what each energy did and spread his psychic perception first and then started to activate the stone but it was significantly weaker as it spread out slowly from Robin at the center out towards the edge of his field of sense and stopped at the edge.

He called it back and used Life essence and felt a rapid strengthening of the gravitational force but in a very wild manner.

Robin blinked confused and tried to do something.

He channeled both energies but instead of a widespread psychic sense, he extended a small channel and surrounded a rock on the side of the training field like he was going to use telekinesis. He then activated the gravity and to his shock, the gravitational force filled only the field of psychic energy he had spread and when it hit the object, it savagely pulled to his hand.

Robin looked at it in his hand he smiled as he aimed it and tried the reverse and he shot that rock out like a cannonball.

“Hehehe. This is very interesting.” Robin said and looked at Mr Might but stopped himself before looking at another rock and trying other things. He needed to know if he was limited to push and pull.

As such he slowly experimented and after several attempts he discovered that indeed he was but the gravitational force would follow the path of his psychic energy while Life essence would fuel the external manipulation. It was different from what he did to control his own body's gravity, he was forcing and manipulating external gravity.

In essence, if he put it following a path that connected to someone’s chin and pushed the gravity savagely, it could effectively create a gravity punch.

In the end he had to go try it out on Mr Might.

“Sir, I found out an ability with the World core and want to just test it out to see how strong it is.” Robin said.

“On me?” he asked.

“Well… if its effective on you then it is for sure going to work on bravemen.” He replied.

“Fair enough.” He said and went to the sparing zone. “Alright, fire away.” He said and took a confident pose.

Robin smiled and raised his hand and he made several small trails to his teacher's body before ramping the repulsion as hard as he could.

Not a moment later, Mr Might felt danger and instantly exploded and covered his body with not only True Qi but blood energy before he felt several heavy impacts that even pushed him back a short distance before he felt waves of psychic energy surrounding him and suddenly he felt gravity massively increase causing the ground to start cracking. He groaned slightly as he looked and saw the middle of Robin’s hand letting off a slight glow.

“This is pretty intense.” Mr Might said as he raised his leg to spring forward but just as his leg came down, out of nowhere, the heavy gravity turned into reversed gravity of the same intensity and he was suddenly sent in the air out of control. “WHA!”

When he was off balance about to fix his position, he felt all that psychic energy focus on his back and suddenly pulled him extremely hard and smashed him into the ground and even buried half his body into the ground.

BANG!

The ground exploded as he came out and looked at the boy and started dusting himself. “This is interesting. Try it again.” he said.

Robin knew it was one thing to catch someone by surprise and another to do it when he is focused and he did what he did before and this time he just groaned as the repulsion force smashed from different sides and also came in small sizes packing a strong punch that he could defend against if his sense of danger picked up on it but the really surprising one was when it suddenly came from the sides and even behind. Robin assumed it would get harder and had even sent one push force and tried two make both forces happen and actually succeeded but attacked a pull force on his back and was able to throw him again but he quickly adapted.

At the end of it, Mr Might gave his analysis.

“Well that is one hell of a trick. How much energy does it consume and how does it work?” He asked.

“I learned just now that using psychic energy I can project gravity waves. It follows the flow of my psychic perception so if I extend it in a cone shape, I can ‘fire’ gravity waves. To get the sufficient power though I need to consume life essence to amplify and project gravity fast and strong enough. It actually consumed HP… let me see here.” Robin said and looked for a moment, “One wave consumed roughly 100 hp each wave.” He said.

“Wait, that is more dangerous than.” Mr Might said.

“Yeah but it’s because I don't have any power from the core itself to power it instead.” He replied.

“I see, have you checked with the system how many stats you need to naturally produce energy naturally?” He asked.

“Not really.” He said.

Mr Might looked at him and Robin sighed, “System, what are the status requirements for natural production of Divine Force.” Robin said.

“Isn’t it divine power?” He asked.

“I call it a force, you can call it power.” Robin replied.

Mr Might just nodded and the system replied right after.

The requirement for Divine Power projection needs the user to have all physical stats over 3,500 and wisdom over 500

“Wisdom over 500 and all physical stats over 3500. That would also mean intelligence to match agility.” Robin said.

“What are your stats at?” Chasm Might asked.

Robin opened his stats to see since he had been training.

“Hmm… then we should deal with Wisdom and Intelligence with stat points since they are the most difficult to raise.” Chasm Might said.

“That means 500 wisdom and 700 intelligence right?” Robin asked.

“For 3,500, yes.” He said.

Robin did the quick math and added 180 to Wisdom and 150 to Intelligence.

“That is 330 points for mental stats, want to save the rest?” Robin asked.

“Yes, who knows when you need quick healing and are on your last life or outside of the Gamer space.” Chasm Might said.

Robin nodded and knew he would keep growing so he didn’t have to worry so he accepted the change and let the transformation happen.

When he came out of it he felt refreshed like something was liberating. He also felt like his psychic energy was getting more excited and growing because of the huge growth.

“Alright, go get used to the changes and tomorrow we can test your full power but try to learn this new power in moderation since it still consumes your health.” He said.

“Yes sir.” Robin said.

On his own, Robin channeled his inner powers and it all felt very natural and as expected.

Update, due to the enhancement of intelligence, several skills have improved. Please proceed to use all skills requiring mental processing.

Robin took the time to go through all his skills including his energy control ones until the system finished.

Accelerated Perception has leveled up to level 30

Enhanced Vision has leveled up to level 30

Life Essence Mastery has leveled up to level 25

Psychic Energy Mastery as leveled up to level 25

Life essence and psychic energy has balanced out with Advanced Elastic Control and will now level together.

Accelerated perception now calculates 1 wis for 60 int

Enhanced Vision has improved.

Without accelerated perception user can see, in detail, a moving object at Mach 1

With accelerated perception, user can see, in detail, and react to a moving object moving close to Mach 3

Robin smiled because that means he would be even more ready for fast braveman and would likely be able to react to his enhanced speed.

After that he started to shadow box with flow energy and found that was incredibly easy and even felt comfortable to maintain the flow constantly but when he felt comfortable he also felt like some energy leaked, making him frown.

“Huh? Leaking, that’s strange, I thought I would have dealt entirely with this problem.” He muttered as he focused on the flowing power and at the capillaries they would not be able to hold a tiny fraction, barely 1%, of the energy flowing through his arteries and nerves of both powers. “System, is it normal to leak power?” He asked.

Affirmative, all life will leak energy, this process is what creates a lifespan as life force and mental forces leaked naturally with age even if they constantly grow, only supreme beings should be able to complete isolate their bodies, mortals would only be able to achieve a 99% isolation and this includes demi-gods. They are immensely long lived but not truly divine beings so they still age.

Robin looked at that and wrote down this information but then looked at Marcus who literally fought with an explosive aura constantly even with the type of flow he had.

Robin thought a while before going over and calling Marcus over and showing him the information.

“What about it?” He asked.

“Your power is qi with life force, that means you have an explosive life force but any time you even use a little it explodes outwards so I was thinking that to improve your control you should try and figure out how to contain that explosion instead. I’m sure it will burst out in strength even more.” Robin said.

“Yeah but I'm still on secondary channels.” He said.

“Have you increased wisdom and intelligence? They improve your ability to control energy as well as improve your perception of speed.” He said.

“Hmm, Mr Might had said about the speed but not energy.” He said.

“Yeah because I just noticed this. Also the system has been focused on status scanning and not skill levels so you should improve a lot in control.” Robin said.

“What are your stats in those?” he asked.

“700 int and 500 wis because the system said I needed 500 wis to prepare my body for producing divine force from the world core. The intelligence is for the 3,500 overall I need to have for me to properly produce the energy naturally.” Robin said.

He looked at his own stats before adjusting them and improving wisdom and intelligence to match Robin’s and accepted.

He felt his head pounding from the huge growth but in the end he got through it standing. “Alright but you had better fight me to adjust.” He said.

Robin nodded and the two rivals took a distance before they began a heavy melee fight. Robin was holding back for him to adjust but his Ki was still exploding out each punch but after ten minutes they stopped and only a small glow covered his transformed frame that would shoot out.

“The control went up to capillaries like you said and it really did get easier to control.” He said. The system began to chime in his ear and after a moment he grinned, “The system finally updated my skill levels that had been stagnated. It really shouldn’t focus so much on stats but I guess it's still not completely developed. I feel really good, I’ve been irritated that all the work I put in wasn't updated but now I get it.” He said and laughed proudly.

It was a rare moment of pride for him but Robin was just grinning at him and made him notice. “What is with that grin?” He said.

“You still haven’t gotten me to full strength or speed. Didn’t you notice that i didn’t use my blood pumping even when you were going harder near the end.” He said.

This instantly pissed him off, “I’ll catch up you fucking anomoly!” He said and huffed off.

Robin felt happy that he could still say that and looked at the many punch zones he had gotten from Marcus. “Level 5 Energy burn resistance is really amazing. It’s effectively resolved half of my energy based weakness. Now I only have to worry about getting hit since it hits deeper than normal but I barely get energy burn anymore.” He said, chuckling.

After going over everything Robin headed to the track and began to jog on his own initiative.
