Chapter 346: 344: Obtaining the Trait of Severability

"Shall we get going now?" Jyorta watched the figures of Madam Mary and Madam Rizenne disappear from the dais. He stood up along with the rest, looking at Haesha when he noticed her dazed state.

Only after he called her a couple of times did Haesha regain her senses, looking at Jyorta as she expressed her complex feelings, "It feels unreal that I can obtain Regen."

"It is the result of your hard work, nothing unusual." Jyorta smiled, accompanying her as the two exited the auditorium, taking the flight of stairs at the end of the corridor before they proceeded up. A large crowd was also doing the same, intending to make use of the Credits they had obtained.

"Quick, the October Batch only has two Relics remaining," A couple of Amplifiers erupted with all their speed as they ran through the corridor. A couple others from the October Batch that had heard their shout too burst with speed, even going to the extent of activating their Tier 2 Skills to further boost themselves.

"Do you want to exchange for any Relics?" Jyorta looked at the ensuing chaos, "There won't be any left after this."

"Even if I wanted to, I don't have enough Credits anyway." Haesha spoke, unaffected by the chaos, "Moreover, I already have what I need. Having an extra Relic won't help me in any way in the Wilds, since I would need a psychic arm per each."

"Indeed," Jyorta nodded, "Having a single Relic that you are accustomed to is better than having two or more Relics that would constrain your base abilities."

"Even in your case," Haesha made eye contact, "Your second Relic is only for support and not something you would use in battles."

"True," Jyorta nodded.

The students from August and September Batch were even worse than the October Batch, with some of them engaging in fights as they impeded each other, wishing to be the first to exchange for items of their choice.

Not everyone had chosen the Stingray Battle Armour. Now, with the 40,000 Credits, their plans had changed. If they were able to set aside 8,000 Credits after using the rest for their goals, then obtaining a Tier 3 Relic would be the best. But, Tier 3 Relics were given on a first-come-first-served basis. Chances of any remaining were little.

Jyorta looked at an Area Controller from the September Batch, waving his hand in greeting, "Gwansa, how many Relics remain in your Batch?"

Gwansa turned in the direction of the shout, waving back as he spotted Jyorta, "Just one, that's why they are fighting like this."

He said with a laugh, "I knew something like this would happen, so I took a risk yesterday and already obtained a Relic. The situation of August Batch is somewhat better since they still have 3 Relics to obtain."

Jyorta and Haesha walked along as they witnessed numerous fights take place in the corridors. The surprising fact was that the staff didn't intervene, even choosing to not appear along the path. A couple of Espers among the staff only protected the walls when the attacks of the students impacted it.

On seeing their stance on the matter, the attacks of the students increased in fervour. All forms of aura blasted around, followed by wind generated from the attacks. The Area Controllers were clearly at a disadvantage, getting suppressed soon before being kicked out of the race.

It soon became the battle between the Amplifiers, entering a high-pitched scale as they pitted their Nurtured bodies against one another. The battle in the October Batch was only between four Amplifiers, contesting for the two remaining Relics, so it was relatively less intense.

Jyorta and Haesha had already wrapped their psychic arms around, shielding themselves from the auras. A few minutes later, they had arrived at the circular room where four staff sat facing four directions.

It was the place where they usually exchanged the Credits for their respective rewards. There was a long queue before each staff, the fighting had died by the moment they arrived. The staff calmed the fighting crowd, simply making the ones who entered first to join the queue earlier.

Those who failed to join the queue grumbled, staring in anger at the ones who had joined before them. Some still didn't give up, joining anyway in hopes that one of their batch mates before them would leave either by mistake or for some other reason.

Jyorta and Haesha joined the queue, chatting along the way. He allowed Haesha to stand before him, unwilling to expose the fact that he hadn't come for Regen. Officially, he didn't have Regen. So, that was the lie he went with while conversing with Haesha. But in actuality, he was aiming for the Trait of Severability.

If he stood before her, then Haesha would find out about his lie the moment he spoke to the staff. So, he played it safe. Moreover, Haesha was glad to stand in the front, wishing to obtain Regen even a second earlier. It worked in his favour.

Jyorta calmly turned around, noticing no one else behind him, smiling as a result. It was currently class hours, so no student would come to exchange for treasures at this time. The only ones in the area were the ones who had been called to the auditorium.

As Jyorta and Haesha took their time to arrive, everyone who wished to use their Credits had joined the queue before them.

Soon, it was Haesha's turn. Haesha handed her ID card, her hands trembling in excitement as she gazed at the staff with wide eyes, unwilling to miss any action.

The staff smiled, used to such a treatment by now, calmly pulling up Haesha's information window, looking at the Credits she had accumulated. "Cadet Haesha, what do you wish to exchange?"

"U-Unranked Skill, Regen," Haesha stuttered, almost biting her tongue in the process. The staff laughed as she typed on the keyboard, motioning for Haesha to stand a fair distance away, "I'll call you when it is ready."

"Thank you," Haesha bowed and obediently stood in her spot, watching the back of Jyorta from far away. She then focused on the actions of the staff, tracing each of her activity, intending to respond the moment she signalled.

"I wish to obtain the Trait of Severability," Jyorta muttered in a soft tone, unwilling to let anyone else hear. Thanks to her superior senses, the staff heard him loud and clear, nodding as she typed a couple of sentences, "I'll call you when it is ready."

The positions they were told to stand was near enough to converse as Jyorta looked at Haesha's jittery state, nervous as she looked at the staff without budging her sight. Jyorta chuckled, "Just relax, a calm state is a must in these situations."

"I won't be able to relax until I get Regen," Haesha smiled wryly.

…

Two hours later, Jyorta returned to the circular room, clenching his hand as his face was flushed red, 'I obtained everything I had planned to get here.'

'The Trait of Efficiency, the Trait of Recovery, the Trait of Resistance, the Unranked Skill Regen, and finally, the Trait of Severability. The two Relics are a bonus. I am especially excited about using healing salve.'

Jyorta smiled, his thoughts churning at a faster rate, 'Even though I don't require anything else, for the time being, I'll spend the rest of my Credits on Frenzy Fruits. Raising my Sync Rate to 100 percent should be my next goal.'

Jyorta looked around, failing to find Haesha. Most of the students had left by now, having already obtained what they sought. The only ones that were still waiting were the ones queuing to buy the Relics.

It would take each individual significant time to go through all the Relics and finally select one. So, most of them were still waiting patiently, not daring to leave in fear their turn might be revoked.

"Guess I'll head to the cafeteria," Jyorta headed towards the flight of stairs, descending all the floors before exiting the Head Office Building.

His body seethed with energy, his Brain Crystal filled to the brim. There was still plenty of the viscous solution accompanying the Trait of Severability circulating in his body, settling for later use. Even on a fair estimate, his body currently held enough energy to fill his Brain Crystal twice.

'That viscous solution contains a lot of energy that I can quickly make use of. I wonder why they don't give it to the soldiers as energy rations when they head to the Wilds?' He then thought it further, retorting his prior thoughts, 'Maybe the viscous solution contains the secret to the Traits and Unranked Skills? So, Marble City doesn't wish for the Frenzy Beasts to reverse deduce the recipe.'

He thought as he walked on the ground, 'Or maybe the energy in the viscous solution is a product of the item immersed in it? Maybe the source of whatever the Traits are made from mixes into the viscous solution, making it contain this much energy?'

"Ugh, I don't know," He shook his head, and arrived at the cafeteria, ordering some snacks to fill up his belly.

'The nurse, Vaika's shift starts at 4:00 PM. I would probably be expending a lot of energy to grasp the mechanics of Regen. So, if I retain any more energy after that, I will head to the Labyrinth of Frenzy to harvest more Credits and healing salve.'

Looking at the plate of snacks before him, Jyorta submerged himself in thoughts, 'It seemed like I had spent a long time in the military academy. But, I have less than 2 months before my Graduation Ceremony.'

He sighed once, "Does this count as me having taken a couple of steps further?"
