Chapter 12: Realms of power in Anomalies

    Paulina joined them a minute later, and Drakarion arrived last after about ten minutes.

    When each of them stood up to leave, a group of people walking their way caught their attention.

    A blonde woman was leading the group, her attire was a tracksuit with red linings.

    Is she a professor? And why are they heading towards us?

    Eryndor was indeed correct.

    The leading woman introduced herself with an extended hand which Eryndor was quick to reciprocate.

    "I am professor Melissa, my team would be travelling alongside you."

    Upon noticing that all the four newbies before her were confused, she explained patiently.

    "Your mission is in Kantos town too, right?"

    Eryndor nodded, but refused to elaborate.

    "Good, you shouldn''t share your mission details with anyone other than your group.

    "Anyway, we are the team which is responsible for dealing with the Anomaly."

    All four of them raised their eyebrows at that, feeling quite surprised inwardly that they were already able to encounter squads which dealt with anomalies.

    "As your professor and the seniors who constitute the rest of my group, you can ask us if you happen to have any trouble. We''ll try our best to guide you regarding your mission.

    "But don''t get your hopes up, you''ll still have to carry out the mission yourself."

    Eryndor agreed with her, and politely responded to accept her help.

    Out of courtesy, the four of them waited as the Professor took her group to register for the mission.

    *****

    The vehicle had two long rows of seats facing each other.

    "What kind of anomaly is it?"

    "Professor Melissa, yesterday was our first lecture at the Academy, and I haven''t yet had the chance to visit the library. Could you tell me about the realms of power in anomalies?

    "In the lecture, we were taught about the Risk class, Disruption Class, and Containment class. But they are basically an evaluation about its ability right?

    "There should also be inherent levels of power within them just like our power systems, no?"

    Professor Melissa had a look of appreciation on her face as she replied.

    "That''s an astute observation you have there. Most students overlook that point once they are taught about the classification classes of anomalies."

    She took a look outside through her window then glanced over everyone before resting her eyes back on Eryndor.

    "We''ve almost reached so I can''t really go into details. Since the Cosmic Limit has increased twice, we''ve assumed the current Cosmic Limit as two.

    "And since the Cosmic Limit is two, the power level allowed in anomalies is also up to two.

    "The two realms are Latent at realm one and Stable at realm two. You can find more in depth explanation and examples at the library.

    "If you want to know even more, you''ll have to increase your authority level. Which I am sure you know how to do."

    Eryndor nodded his head, making sure to keep everything about himself normal.

    There wasn''t a hint of abnormality in his expression or any body movement.

    Latent and Stable huh. Looks like I really am an anomaly sealed by the Human Federation in the past.

    I wonder what level ''active'' is at? Third level? Doesn''t that mean I have an even greater advantage over others than I initially thought?

    My abilities are literally above the Cosmic Limit.

    Unless my opponent''s abilities are so powerful that they can jump realms, it would be difficult to contend with my abilities haha.

    A minute later the vehicle stopped near a gate.

    As everyone disembarked wearing the battlesuits they were provided and equipment in hand, Eryndor looked at the signboard above the gate.

    Welcome to Kantos Town.

    Here begins my first mission.
