Lost Origins: SS Ranked Awakening-Chapter 115: SS Rank??

"What is it, Micheal?"

August’s tone was sharp, mentioning the name of the white haired man for the first time.

Micheal hearing this, let out a deep breath and finally said what he himself still had issues believing.

"They were inconclusive!"

He felt his body shiver after letting those words out of his chest.

August furrowed his brows in confusion.

"What do you mean, inconclusive?"

He asked again.

"Exactly that, his physical ability seemed to have tripled from the last test"

"How? That was only yesterday!"

August questioned, his hand shooting to Micheal’s shoulder.

"I’m not done!"

Micheal said peeling August’s hand off his shoulder as he proceeded to give the full breakdown on the result of his test.

"I took into consideration that he’s practicing that technique, but it still wasn’t enough to justify the crazy increase. There hasn’t been a record like that before"

"He handled the Illusions pretty well...a little too well. I’m pretty sure he knew he was in an illusion."

August’s eyes darkened as he heard those last words and the ones that followed right after.

"Honestly, while all that made shocked beyond words, that’s not exactly why I said they were inconclusive."

"It’s definitely clear that he has indeed awakened his ability, but what ability is it? I couldn’t tell. What type of ability is it? I couldn’t tell. Anything similar or regular patterns I could use as reference while combing through the databases? I couldn’t even identify what I was seeing."

"This is the first time I’ve ever come across or heard of something like this. That kid is something new. I think you understand what that means right?"

Micheal asked August who had a still expression on his face.

"His rank?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"I haven’t checked it yet. He has to be in control when he goes through the process, but isn’t it obvious? This is something you can’t handle al—"

"So, I need help??? Don’t make me cry Micheal. This isn’t a bad situation at all, in fact it’s the best we could hope for. Now end this and let’s see just what rank this anomaly kid is!"

August said, the craziness was back in his eyes and mannerism as he exhibited a part of him that couldn’t be faked.

Micheal sighed, hearing those words.

August had made up his mind and there was nothing on the surface of this planet which could convince him otherwise.

Not even the old man up there could change the mind of this badshit crazy bastartds whenever he was like this.

At this point, all he could do was shut up and follow up with the process completely.

He walked back to the terminal and pressed on some buttons, cutting off the gas flow from Kieran’s system and slowly, the machine pulled his body out of the viscous liquid which all fell off him as his body left the tank completely.

Kieran’s eyes opened slowly feeling the sake attractive force drom before pulling him out if the tank and onto the side where a change if clothes had been prepared.

The metal prongs and arms appeared to take away all the tubes that had been attached to his body.

He was gently placed back on the floor with his back facing the two men who still had solemn expressions on their faces.

Without saying a word, he picked up the pieces of clothing and put them on, a little surprised that it matched his stature.

Talking about stature, Kieran glanced at the reflection of himself on the silver, metal body of the machine.

Back then, he had arrived on the planet as a skinny commoner who had barely eaten enough for himself in his life and now, he stared at his reflection, taking a moment to admire his own lean and chiseled build which he had gotten after several hours of muscle burning and tearing pain.

August suppressed a chuckle watching as Kieran slowed down, taking his time to admire his body. His 6’2 body with that handsome face of his would surely be a lady killer of he if managed to leave the military.

Then the words of August flashed across his mind again and he was reminded of what he had told Kieran earlier that day.

"Humans are naturally scared of what they don’t understand and can’t control."

’I’d just have to stand in between them and you are strong enough then!’

August eyes narrowed, his hand subconscious moving to his left where he felt nothing by but an emoty sheathe and sighted.

It was time he drew his blade again.

If Micheal, who was also watching from the side, knew what was going on in August’s head, he wouldn’t know whether or not to celebrate the return of the phantom blade or dread this development.

Kieran put on each piece of clothing without concerns like he hadn’t just been ripping apart his supports just with a slight push.

With the help of the Illusions, he had manged to practice how to control his strength and bring it to the proper level over the course of a few weeks.

Weeks which were just moments on this side.

Now that he wss all dressed up. He walked up to August and Micheal.

"What next?"

He asked the two men in front of him who had quickly masked their facial expressions from bfr.

"Well, we still have to check for the rank of your ability. This is probably the most important part of all we’ve been doing today."

Micheal explained and Kieran looked to August who gave signaled him ti which he just nodded his head.

"Alright. Let’s do it?"

Kietan said and seemed like wes getting to excited now that he had awakened, but all Kieran wanted to do was to be dine with all the tests and get them over with.

Hearing that he had been out cold for four days made him want ti catch up ti whatever he might have missed.

"Alright, let’s go then"

Micheal said leading the both of them to another room.

He pointer at the centre and when Kieran got there he spoke to him.

"Don’t worry, you don’t need to do anything. You’ll get scanned and then I can te you your rank."

He said, turning on the machine and kietan could feel something lass through him, going from his head down to his toes and back up.

It wad an uncomfortable feeling but he didn’t mind.

BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEPPP!!

"Hmmm?"

A confused expression appeared on Micheal’s face from behind the computer.

"Was that supposed to happen?"

August asked what was in Kieran’s head.

"Inconclusive??"

Micheal muttered looking at the "???" result on the screen and after a while, a long loading bar showed up on the screen taking almost 3 minutes to load!!

A diabolical amount of time to process data on a machine like his.

Finally when the bar loaded completely, he looked at the screen with a weird expression unsure if he could belive what wss right in front of him.

"SS rank?"

It came out of his mouth like a shy whisper, but it was heard clearly by the other two in the room, hitting August’s ears like a clap of thunder.

His eyes widening in disbelief.
