Universal Power System-Chapter 71 Military Introduction

It was quite a normal day for the students of Emerald High, but the excitement was in the air because a military official was coming to school to announce this year's recruitment test.

The students were walking to school, some together in groups while others just walked on their own as they do every day. The school had two entrances, one was for students who came to school by either walking or using public transport while the other one was just a parking lot that was used by students who came to school in their vehicles.

These students were all children of rich and powerful people and that was why they were given this level of luxury. These were also the kids that owned power weapons and had a level 3 ability.

The highest level of ability that a student could have was a level 3 ability. It wasn't that their rich parents couldn't afford higher-level abilities, it was just that abilities were only commercially available up to level 3. To obtain higher-level abilities, people had to get special permits or work for an organization, or get sponsored by a company that would permit the usage of a higher-level ability.

Both scenarios required both power and money, which a common person would not have and would forever be stuck at the level 3 stage of power. Students could not obtain such permits so they were also stuck at level 3 for the time being until they graduated.

This morning; however, all the rich kids were exiting their vehicles as usual when a luxurious black limo rolled into the parking lot. It parked in one of the corners and from the front passenger seat, a huge muscular man wearing a traditional black suit exited the vehicle.

The car was long and had six doors with completely tinted windows. He walked over to the middle door of the car and proceeded to open the door which was a Gullwing door. A young man exited the vehicle wearing quite a stylish black shirt and jeans each with gold trim and a golden chain around his neck.

"Thanks, Big bro," Leon said to Enzo as he exited the vehicle.

The rich kids that were currently in the parking lot were quite shocked to see such an expensive car roll into their parking lot. Their parents were still quite rich compared to the rest of society but they were still nowhere near the level of wealth as Leon's father.

The girls in the parking lot started blushing as they saw Leon walk out of the car.

"Oh wow! I wanna be friends with that guy, he looks loaded." one girl commented.

"Look yourself in the mirror first, he is too good for someone like you, I will make a much better girlfriend than you," Another girl taunted her.

They all just assumed that it must be one of those mega-rich kids that were homeschooled and came to the school today, just to hear about the recruitment test.

After opening the door for Leon, Enzo moved over to the other door which was just a regular door, and opened it as well.

Two boys came out of the back of the limo and it was the last two people anyone in the parking lot would have expected.

"Thanks for the ride, Enzo" Mako said as he and Bill exited the car as well.

"Isn't that the nerd?!" A guy said as he noticed them coming out of the car.

"And... Bill Johnson! I thought his father disowned him. He hasn't come to school in a long time." another guy chimed in.

"What is going on?! Why are those two with someone as handsome as him," A girl started to complain as she saw the three boys walking toward the school gate together with Enzo closely behind?

It was quite obvious that these children were spoiled rotten with over-inflated egos. They were all quite shocked when they saw the school's biggest nerd and bully come out of the same vehicle as a super-rich kid and it looked to them as if they were all friends.

Now being the egotistic brats that they were some of them couldn't believe such a sight and went to confront the trio themselves. Three guys approached them while releasing their aura completely.

"What do you think you're doing, nerd?!" One of them shouted at Mako.

"You don't belong here! The audacity for you to even set foot here is unacceptable!" Another chimed in.

"And you! Since when did your daddy start giving a shit about you again? You always take the bus to school!" The guy in the middle shouted at Bill.

The guys expected Mako to just be scared away by the intensity of their aura and if Bill decided to engage them, they could take him on since it would be three against one.

Of course, nothing like that ever happened. Bill and Mako stood still in front of the three guys who approached them without showing any signs of fear or cowardice.

Leon didn't care about what was going on and proceeded to just walk past the guys leaving Mako and Bill alone to deal with them. Enzo followed closely behind and easily towered over the three guys. The guys were quite intimidated by Enzo and didn't want to mess with him. They allowed Leon to leave and focus their attention back on Mako and Bill.

Leon made it to the school gate but stopped just before going in. Instead, he leaned back against a nearby pillar and started to observe the confrontation.

"Don't you want to go in?" Enzo asked.

"I will after I see what happens to them," Leon replied with a small smile on his face.

Some of the girls also made their way to the gate in an attempt to get close to Leon, but Enzo started emitting his aura and they were quickly repelled back. Embarrassed by the whole thing, they just decided to stand where they were and observe their friends confront Mako and Bill.

"You want the first go?" Mako asked Bill with a smile.

"Oh no, by all means, be my guest," Bill said rejecting Mako's offer.

The guys only got angered by how light the duo was taking this and that their aura had no effect on them.

[Dash has been activated]

Mako suddenly bolted toward the nearest guy and grabbed his hair very tightly.

"AHHH!" The screamed out in pain as he couldn't react fast enough to Mako's speed and was now held firmly by his hand.

"Here's the deal, boys! I am not a pushover anymore, and I will give you just one chance to walk away otherwise I can't promise what will happen next." Mako said to the other guys.

"AHHHH! Simon, James help me! Kill this guy!" The guy shouted to his friends.

The boys sprang into action as one of them shot a lightning bolt toward Mako's head.

"Wrong choice,"

[Motion Sense has been activated]

Mako tilted his head slightly and dodged the lightning bolt. Flames erupted from his hand that was holding onto the hair and the hair started burning.

"AAAHHHHH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" The guy yelled in pain.

Eventually, Mako let go of his hair and almost all of his hair had been burned off leaving a massive bald spot on his head.

The worst thing you can do to a spoiled rich kid is mess up his social image through humiliation.

Tears started to well up in his eyes as he touched the top of his head and felt no hair on there. His two friends didn't know what to do. They had not seen Mako use his ability before. Mako had kept his ability hidden in school and only used his strength to defend himself in case any bully tried to hurt him.

The girls that were watching from afar had their jaws wide open as the scene they were witnessing was something they couldn't imagine seeing in a million years.

"Alright, your turn," Mako said as he walked back over to Bill. He had a huge smile on his face as he cracked his knuckles and approached the boys who were still in a state to shock trying to process what just happened.

"What did you say about my father?" Bill asked as he conjured an earth club.

*Gulp!*

[1 hour later]

"You didn't have to go so hard on them you know," Mako said to Bill.

They were currently in the auditorium waiting for the rest of the students to be seated so that the announcement could start. Mako and Bill were sitting a few seats apart from Leon discussing the morning fight.

"Nah, they deserved every last bit of that," Bill replied.

Bill had a tendency of getting carried away when inflicting pain and even though he was quite a changed man from before, it didn't mean that he was completely different.

Old habits just die hard!

The girls who witnessed the whole thing had to drag the boys over to the nurse's office. They were covered in bruises and cuts all over. Mako dropped them some Low-Tier healing pills so that the injuries could heal without any complications.

Mako and Bill continued to converse about different things while Leon just silently waited on his seat waiting for the announcement to begin.

Soon the principal of the school walked in front of the stage and started to address the students.

"Students! Please be seated and remain quiet! The wait is over, Brigadier Jones will begin his announcement momentarily!" The principal announced.

After that, the principal walked away from the stage and a man wearing a military uniform walked onto the stage and turned toward the crowd of students. 𝚋ｅ𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖｅ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐

'Finally!' Mako said inwardly as he couldn't wait to hear what this year's test would be about.
