Chapter 104 - The Choice Is Yours!! (1/2)
”Sigh…. Leave it. I will pay you a hearty amount, as promised. Before that, we must deal with this number now. A chakra score of 15000!! Of a 10-year-old girl. She has infinite potential before her,” commented chairwoman Linda, and dialed a number through her mini virtual pad.
”Ah Aditya, are you free now?!!”
”Yes, what happened aunty? Didn't you just meet with me and the rest of the family?!”
”Yes, there is a problem with your kid here, can you come and deal with it?” asked chairwoman Linda.
”Problem?! What problem?!!” asked Aditya in a panic.
”The thing is when your Ryan I mean Aryan put his hand on that chakra measuring device of yours it didn't work at all, nor showed any movements.”
Aditya laughed at that and said, ”Isn't that obvious?! My kid's soul sea is in the form of a mega galaxy. Those low-grade devices made for measuring school devices won't even respond to him.”
Chairwoman Linda ”....”
”For now, all you can do is upscale the machine and ask Ryan to try again. It won't show the result, but it will show something better than the blank result,” said Aditya and disconnected the call from his side.
Chairwoman Linda did as he said and instructed Mr. Robert to upscale the device and let Ryan try again. Mr. Robert hesitated for a while but he spoke out what he wanted to say, that if he upscales the device it won't pick up the chakra traces of Ryan, if his chakra amount is less than 30000 score.
Chairwoman Linda didn't hear his rubbish and asked him to do as instructed without any question. Mr. Robert disconnected the call and noted down Nagisa's score. A perfect 15000 with soul sea projection of a gigantic world tree covering the entire room, even in its compressed form.
Now all the score and soul sea forms have been recorded, excluding Ryan. As ordered by the chairwoman, Mr. Robert upscale the machine and asked Nagisa and Rajesh to put their hands on the scanner. As expected, the score counter didn't even budge, similar to what happened earlier in the beginning.
Nagisa became worried over the zero scores and asked Mr. Robert about it. He didn't reply anything and instead called Ryan again to put his hand on the scanner. All of them including Mr. Robert, Principal Li, and Nagisa had a confused expression on their faces.
Ryan went near and like the first time put his hand on the scanner. Just a minute ago all their heart was beating faster, but the moment he put his hand on the scanner their heart stopped beating.
The counter….. This time the counter started working and kept on working. Just within a second, it crossed 20000 even after that it was not showing signs of stopping.
25000…..37000….490000....60000.....99999...….
It kept on increasing, increasing, increasing, and stopped exactly at 99999.
Silence~~~~
Complete Silence. No one, literally no one, made a single sound for the next two minutes. Not even chairwoman Linda. Then only she understood what Aditya meant when he said those low-grade devices can't measure his son's chakra energy.
The machine in the school stopped because 99999 was its upper limit and couldn't go any further than that. Mr. Robert was the one who came out of daze first and noted his score as 99999. One more thing he noticed that the device didn't project any soul sea in Ryan's case. He tried to search it within the entire hall but couldn't find out the projection anywhere.
Meanwhile, in the principal chamber Miss Ynna was standing behind her father, I mean Principal Li as a typical secretary when he noticed a light behind her, through the glass wall. She turned around and saw something above the elementary school training hall and dropped her A4 sized virtual pad in fear.
Chairwoman Linda got alarmed by the dropping sound and turned out and saw the same thing that Miss Ynna saw through the glass wall. Principal Li saw the color devoid face of chairwoman Linda and turned around casually to observe the projection of a mega galaxy on the entire school premises.
Though the device couldn't measure Ryan's chakra energy, it showed it best by projecting the form of his soul sea's compressed version above the entire school.
Principal Li hurriedly picked up his virtual pad and dialed Mr. Robert's number, asking him to shut down that damn machine immediately, or he will be fired in the next second. Mr. Robert did as ordered by the Principal and asked him the reason for such actions.
Principal Li rubbed his eyes and sent a picture of the sense that he had captured some time ago. Mr. Robert opened the file then...…
Completely dumbstruck, his legs started to tremble in fear because of the monster before him. Now he was confirmed that Ryan's score was above 99999 and that's why chairwoman Linda asked her to make adjustments with the device.
After calming down his chaotic mind he noted Ryan's score, shape of his soul sea, image of the compressed projection, and sent it to someone else whose last name was Hiragi.
”Break time, kids,” announced Mr. Robert and barged into the principal room without asking permission. ”Principal Li, the heck was that?!! Who is that kid?” he asked out in a single breath.
”Mr. Robert, calm down first,” came a sound from the side.
He turned out hastily to find chairwoman Linda sitting on the sofa.
”Ch-cha-chairwoman Linda!!” What are you doing here?!!” blurted out Robert.
