"Trial?" I asked the tiny spirit, who pointed her finger at the two swords in the pedestal. "You mean those swords? What do you want me to do with them?"
"Well, obviously pull them out, dummy! I thought my future master was going to be smarter than this...what a disappointment..."
I swear, if the entity in question was not Bayanga, aka another one of my future spirits, I will literally trap them in a diamond cage that is so thick that they cannot get out in the next 100 years. Fuming at the annoying attitude of the Great Spirit of Yin, I approached the pedestal as I suddenly noticed something strange about the two swords.
The sword on the left seemed very... dim is how I would put it. As if it'll melt into the shadows behind it if it wished to, or maybe that's just an illusion. However, the sword on right, was filled to the brim with some sort of energy.
Really? Is this the best you could come up with, oh-so-great Great Spirit of Yin? A cliche scenario copied literally from King Arthur stories? I cannot imagine the amount of 'bruhs' that would be spammed if I posted this somewhere back on Earth.
I proceeded to grab the handles, and tried to feel the depth that of the swords (basically how much they were embedded into the pedestal). To my surprise, no signs showed of their depth, so I just activated Akra and began pulling. To my surprise (yes, once again), they did not budge.
Huh? Why would Akra not work? Usually using Akra to increase my own strength is already strong enough to obliterate a stone pillar, so how come?
I pulled harder, and Bayanga suddenly started laughing.
"AHAHAHA! You really are stupid! Did you really think the trial will be you pulling a sword out of a pedastal? Ahaha-urk!"
Before I can get to the spirit myself to deal a seriously devastating blow (yes, devastating), Cahya appeared herself to sucker punch the annoying spirit into the ground as she fell straight into the floor, accelerating faster due to Cahya's strength increased by Akra.
"Stop teasing Y/N-sama like that, Bayanga! It's quite disrespectful for you to due that, you know?"
Score! Cahya! Punch her again! My thoughts cheered as I watched the Yin Spirit emerge from the crack she was punched into, and threw a tiny purple crystal at Cahya, who dodged as the crystal hit the wall as she faced her friend.
"Just because I teased him a little doesn't mean you have to attack me with a magically-enhanced fist! That's just rude!" Bayanga said as she faced Cahya with Minya spears ready to be launched.
"Oh if it is a fight you want, you'll get one!" Cahya said as she gathered strings of light as she readied to fire a Jiwald.
There was this slight moment of awkwardness before the chaos began, but soon, a bunch of Jiwalds, Minyas, Shamacs, and various Yin and Yang magic spells that I could not identify, lighting up the room.
"Hey, let's focus on that test now, shall we?" Alchemis suddenly popped out as well, and I nodded to him as he sighed at Cahya and Bayanga's childish behaviour. "Even after 400 years... they're still like that..."
"Hmm... wait... these swords, could they be?" I suddenly noticed a pattern on the 'dark' sword, somewhat resembling the Yang Sword Vollachia. However, I brushed away my doubts as I suddenly began to pull on them again.
"El Akra!" I strengthened my body, and the swords budged for just a tiny moment.
"Yes!" I smiled as I pulled harder on the swords, who suddenly started to fall back as if they weighted heavier than they originally were.
I tried fighting back at the force, but the swords continued to drag me down as I reached the halfway point, where I just can't pull them out anymore. I wanted to form diamonds at the bottom of the sword-shaped cracks, but couldn't since it was still a very dark chamber.
What can I do to pull them out?
Tools? Weapons? Magic? Authority-
Authority.
The word struck my mind as if I opened a path to my solution, and I called upon the power that dwelled within me, waiting to be unleashed.
Help me! Authority of Sloth!
The ball of tendrils appeared in my mind, pulsating from dark to light as it beated faster and faster, before its power was unleashed as the two invisible hands of darkness emerged from it, grabbing onto the sword handle as it replicated strength similar to my own.
The arms duplicated the amount of force exerted on the sword, and the swords ejected from the pedestal. After soaring to the air and slamming down behind me, I smiled as I realized my victory.
I then looked downwards, and noticed the two hands protruding from behind my arms, acting as a second pair in addition to my own. Before I could take a better look at them, though, they disappeared as I coughed and spitted out some kind of liquid.
Guess that's for using the authority for the first time, huh?
"EH!? You pulled it out? You can't! You're not supposed to!" Bayanga shouted in distress, and I suddenly felt as if I actually did something wrong. I quickly reinforced the room with diamond, as if it will collapse, but it showed no signs of falling.
"What do you mean, he's not supposed to?" Cahya questioned her, and Bayanga almost immediately started to sweatdrop.
"Eh... haha... so anyways, when master was pulling on the swords, I was using Vita to keep the swords down... so he wasn't supposed to pull it out?"
You-
LITTLE BASTARD!
"Eh? Y/N-sama... you look unusually mad..." Bayanga said as Cahya made a tactical retreat, leaving her friend in front of my wrath.
"WHO WOULD NOT BE MAD AFTER YOU DECIDE TO RIG A TRIAL!!!"
Timeskippu featuring Y/N trying to catch Bayanga with a diamond skewer*
"Uwuuuuuu..." Bayanga sniffled as she sat on my left shoulder while Cahya sat on the right, quietly holding in her laughs at Bayanga's attitude. I swear, they're not better than each other in terms of maturity.
"Well, at least this means I can use Yin Magic now. So I guess you did bring me some help." I patted Bayanga on the head softly, and she suddenly pulled herself back from a state of depression.
"Yay! Does this mean you'll treat me better now-"
"Shamac."
A fume of black smoke erupted from my finger, spraying Bayanga in the face as she coughed. "Hey! Are you still mad? I thought you said you weren't-"
"I did say I wasn't. I just wanted to play with you for a little bit." I smiled devilishly, and Bayanga gave me a terrified look as I wiped the scary face off before replacing it with a genuine smile. "Well, I guess, uh, welcome to the team?"
"It's a pleasure to be here as well." Bayanga said happily, and I smiled back before activating Suitoru, flying up the hole with the White Whale's seal. After I landed on the same level as Subaru, I realized he was still asleep.
How does his time with Echidna last so long? I thought it was just around a dozen minutes, was it not?
"Ah. Getting impatient now, are we?" A voice that was all too familiar said in my head as I fell head first onto the floor, only to wake up in a weird place that I recognized as my bedroom from Earth.
Huh?
EHHHHHH?
I looked around immediately for a calendar of sorts, and found my clock as I saw the time and date.
March 15... of 2016? That's five years before I was teleported!
I looked into the mirror and found myself staring at my 12 year old face in shock. I suddenly realized the time as I quickly grabbed my bag, and ran towards my school.
Being a middle school first-year, I rode my bike to school as I entered the premises five minutes before the bell rang. I sat down in the class as my best friend, Mizuryu Shinsei, came up to me as he gave me our usual high-five before he sat next to me in our seat.
Then, came the person I disliked the most in the entire school approached me as I got a slap on the head with a book, which caused me to slam my head involuntarily into the table as I heard a shrill voice ring out from behind me.
"Ha! Loser, you aren't late today? What a surprise!" Our local bully, who's surprisingly a girl, despite common anime cliches. However, do not let her appearance deceive you. Although regarded as a beauty in our school, she is a very evil person in general who'll try to make anyone she thinks is below her's life miserable. A prime example is me.
"Hey! Do not bully my friend like that!" Mizuryu stood up immediately as he used his burly body to block the attacks, which seemed quite honourable in some sense. I was a coward back then, so I just watched in horror as he took the blows for me until they got bored. However, it is different now. I'm not even afraid of death, so why should I be scared of a bully with absolutely no powers?
"Step back, Mizuryu." I told him as I approached the bully, who's name was Suzune Haruka, and glared at her defiantly. "And you. Do not speak to me that way as if you can trample above me. I have my right to have silence and it is not okay to violate it."
"Huh?" Suzune was shocked as she was taken aback by my remark before quickly recovering. "Since when did you think you can order me around, twerp?" She then proceeded to grab my collar and tried to lift me up, but my feet stayed firm on the ground.
"Since now." I said as I slapped her right across the face, sending her flying into the ground. "Think about twice before you decide to bully anyone in this world. Because sooner or later, that karma will return to you, bitch."
She rubbed her face in shock before quickly scrambling out of our classroom in a hurry as our professor walked in, confused at what just happened. I am going to have a great day.
Timeskippu*
It was the end of school, and I waved goodbye to Mizuryu as we parted. I hummed my favourite tune as I pedalled down an alley, and suddenly a stick was shoved into my bike wheels as the bike was jammed, and I flew forwards before I face planted into the cement, nose bleeding as I swung around to face my attackers.
5 teenage boys who looked like to be part of some gang approached me with metal bats, and Suzune stepped out from behind them as I regarded her with hatred. "You!"
"Yes, me." She replied with an annoying tone as she snapped her fingers. "Boys, go get him and beat him up until he's bloody."
"Coward, do you only know how to hide behind your own lackeys?"
"Well, I have the money for it, so why shouldn't I?" She smirked as the thugs approached, and one of them raised their metal bat.
Although I could not use magic and therefore cannot boost my strength and agility with Akra, my time training with it has improved my overall physique, and I'm definitely faster than those untrained idiot gang teenagers. Using a burst step, I dashed forward straight into a thug as I dealt an uppercut to him, sending him flying as the other four thugs regarded me with surprise.
"What are guys waiting for? Get him!" Suzune shouted again, and the four remaining thugs dashed towards me like mad dogs. As I panicked at the sight of four thugs, a power started beating inside me.
Oh, it's you.
So Authorities can be used here? Or is it just you?
Anyways, help me out, okay? You are extremely useful, despite your current power level.
I haven't given you a name yet, either, have I?
Hm... Subaru called his Authority, Invisible Providence, right?
Well then, you, who lended me hands when I needed help to complete a task, I know what to call you.
Burst forth, my Imperceptible Extensions.
The named ability happily surged forth as I felt the chilly feeling come out from behind my shoulders, and two shadowy hands followed the trajectory of my fists, only more outwards, as my two fists of flesh and two fists of shadow slammed into the four thugs' faces, smashing them down into the ground.
"You damned creatures! What the hell are you doing?" Suzune yelled at her thugs, but they showed no signs of movement. However, she suddenly felt fear as she looked at me, and I was a little confused until I realized where her eyes were staring at: My Unseen Hands.
"You can... see them?" I asked her, unsure of the situation right now.
"Of course I can!" I suddenly turned my anger on her, and she suddenly made another yelp. "How... how did you make them disappear? What...are you?"
They disappeared? But the authority is still active though. Well, no matter. I launched my fist at Suzune, and unbeknownst to her, the shadow fist punched her right on the nose, as payback for what she did to me in the morning.
"The Code of Hammurabi. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." I stated as I walked away. However, before I could get to my house, I collapsed onto my knees, and I heard the Witch of Deceit's voice inside my head.
"Hey, successor-kun? Trust me just this once. Repeat my words." She then spoke a six line phrase, which I had no idea what it meant, but I did as she asked.
To know the root of thy desire,
To know the core behind your greed,
To venture into the graveyard of souls,
And to find the truth of thee.
Open a way to thy domain,
An entrance into the Castle of Dreams!
A blinding light flashed as I woke up to blinding sunlight, and faced the white haired girl with the neon green butterfly hairclip, who gave me a smile.
"We meet at last, Y/N L/N." The white-haired woman said as her smile widened. "Although you probably already know of my identity, it is a bit rude to not introduce myself."
"My name is Echidna. The Witch of Greed."
Authority(ies):
Authority of Deceit (Commonly known as Authority of Elements):
-Vacuum Trigger: An innate ability stored within the tesseract-shaped Deceit Witch Factor, allowing the user to spring themselves from unconsciousness when the mana fluctuations around them changes drastically, as a built-in self-defence mechanism of the body.
-Critical Overload: A mysterious ability that protects the user of the Deceit Witch Factor, causing them to unlock their true potential while their actions are coordinated by ???, helping them avoid certain death. This ability only triggers when the user is about to die and has a 15 minute cooldown.
-- Haywire Warp: A variation of Critical Overload that allows the user to warp the attack that will kill them, creating a tear in space-time to absorb the attack. Meanwhile, the abilities of the elements are unleashed and they will defy the chemical laws before the user decides to cancel their existence.
--Decagenso Rupture: A variation of Critical Overload that allows the user to combine ten elements into one attack, fusing them into a substance unable to be defined by chemical laws. Then, the substance explodes from the inside to spread parts of itself into the opponent's body, replacing their atoms with the substance itself.
-Pure Truth: Y/N's knowledge of the future. Although he claims that he can only know up to a certain amount, it is only a cover-up to avoid suspicion. This ability also allows him to lie without being detected (e.g. Crusch's divine protection), as long as it is part of his knowledge of this world's future.
--Veritas Oneiro Chunyu: The 'Truth Dream Injection'. A sub-ability of Pure Truth that allows the user to show others fragments of Pure Truth to get a better understanding of a situation or past. This ability cannot show the future.
-'Suitoru': A magic spell that allows the user to absorb a certain ??? of the enemy, making it their own and can be stored for later usage.
-Partial Authority Immunity: Y/N is fully immune to some authorities, while some still have a diminished effect on him.
-Scindo: The ability to split the Deceit Witch Factor into pieces to implant them in others, but the pieces can only be taken back a year later. Current Percentages: Y/N L/N: 99.997%, Crusch Karsten: 0.003%
Authority of Sloth:
-Imperceptible Extensions: Y/N's authority also somehow manifested almost the same way as Betelgeuse's did. When activated, two invisible hands can be summoned to be moved around telekinetically. Penalty: If a person is not considered as Y/N's enemy, they will see the extensions. However, another holder of Sloth will also see the hands, regardless of the previous statement.
