Perfect Avatar-Chapter 91: The Second Coming

"Okay, pause!" insisted Candace.

Several hours had passed since the start of the challenge.

In front of a Rift, Mercy, Freya, Solaria, and Moonra were on their knees or sitting on the floor, trying to catch their breath.

Zuri cleaned some blood from her misshapen wand, and Iris crossed her arms, glancing at Dora.

The boy, who was about to enter a Rift, stopped and walked over to Midgard, lying on a deckchair next to Eryl.

"Wanna clear those six one? I need to hydrate my mind."

"Hm? Can't Sloth just close them? They won't open anyway."

"Yes, but that would be a waste... Well, never mind, let's take the next step."

He joined the nobles and began applying healing magic to them.

The girls recovered their breath little by little and sighed as soon as they had recovered enough energy.

"So... Anything to say?"

Freya threw a deadly star at him, then sighed in annoyance.

She looked at Zuri, who was pretending to look around the arena.

"It shouldn't be over if we don't give up."

"... No problem, it's only 52-11, I'll make it 100."

"Ugh... Don't you ever get tired?"

They stood up and looked at each other, only Solaria and Freya seemed angry for some specific reason and did their best to ignore Zuri.

"Are you all right? Frey-Frey? Soly?"

Both remained silent, looking away.

"Dora, they're not answering me, I feel so sad..."

"Hmm?" He looked at them, scratching his chin. 𝒇𝒓𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝙢

Solaria laughed angrily and leaned on Zuri.

"But of course, fufu, I was so choked... You're not hurt? I was so scared for you... in that Rift... where you were barely moving... and I'm sure the debuff I suffered didn't come from a monster..."

Zuri looked away, Solaria following her gaze until it met Dora and Gémit.

"M-M-M.... Miss... Tress.... Z... Zu... urk..."

"Aren't you ashamed?" Freya crossed her arms.

|>>The evolution<<

Dora smiled as he finally saw these jobs, unmovable for so many months, at maximum capacity.

Midgard stood up and joined him, beckoning the others closer.

"Is it time? Is it finally happening???" Iris insisted, growing increasingly impatient.

Dora grinned at the girl and turned to Midgard, who nodded.

The screen glowed periodically, signaling that it was much more than a visual screen.

He raised his hand and touched the screen, which glowed a luminous yellow.

He hadn't evolved for months, and now, as his body began to glow, Dora realized he was about to enter a new world.

Outside, Lisa, Sunnah, and another D-tank student stood guard.

Lisa yawned loudly and groaned in annoyance.

"I told you to go to sleep, boss, what are you trying to prove?"

"Sleep is for the weak who need it, like normal humans, an emissary must control her body."

"... But we're still humans." Sunnah murmured, before being silenced by Lisa's murderous gaze.

Suddenly, a powerful earthquake shook the three of them.

A jet of white, yellow, and black light erupted from the arena, visible from outside.

The council members, scattered to several corners, joined Lisa's group in front of the entrance.

"What the hell is this? What's going on?" asked a student.

The earth shook slightly, far from the initial shock, but the energy grew exponentially.

Everyone held their breath, transfixed by the cyclone of energy.

Lisa was in a trance and suddenly rushed inside.

"Wait! Boss, we can't..."

But she was already far away.

The wind blew for a few seconds before stopping abruptly.

In the middle of the arena, the group was protected by an Elizabeth's barrier and watched the young man emerge from the light.

Dora stood upright, his eyes glowing in a captivating yellow. He inspected his hands and then shook his right arm up and down a few times as if to assess the condition of his joints. After that, he tensed his muscles, displaying his impressive muscular physique before relaxing and examining his hands again.

"Is that all? Maybe it's better than healing... But I don't really feel any difference."

He turned instinctively behind him, to where Midgard was looking at her own body.

No change could be observed, her skin was as pale as ever and her hair still had its natural softness.

For their part, the others watched, petrified, as the young man's energy increased tenfold in seconds.

If a person closed their eyes, they would think Dora was all around them, such was the reach of his aura.

Midgard opened the system screen and widened her eyes.

"Little Dory, look at our system."

She smiled, opening her mouth wide.

Dora did so and was surprised by what he discovered.

Dora opened his mouth wide as the list went on and on.

"What... the fuck..." he whispered, next to him, Midgard had an opposed expression as she looked like she was about to pass out from pleasure.

"My God, look at this, look at all this, oh my Gosh..."

Candace was the first to join them.

"So for you to have different reactions... What kind of witchcraft is happening?"

Midgard coughed, trying to regain her composure, her face remained pink with euphoria.

"Glory, Sloth, I realized how wonderful my other half is."

She took Dora's hand and rubbed it against her cheek; the young man, continuing to read the endless list of tasks, became more and more pale.

"E-enough! Now let him go!" Zuri stepped between the two.

She glared murderously at Midgard while hugging Dora like a precious treasure.

"Ah, be careful, in this state, he could accidentally dislocate your shoulder just by sneezing."

She laughed hysterically until Iris bumped into her back.

"So? What's going on??? That explosion earlier, it worked, right? He's a C-rank, right??"

"... Why do you care so much? There are a lot of good reasons to feel involved and I don't sense any in you."

"Come on... we have to work together, remember? Please..." She clasped her hands in supplication, much to Midgard's disgust, but seeing the others gathering around them, she decided to speak.

"Yeah, it's a C-rank, it worked as expected."

"I can say..." Eryl nodded. "But why is he so afraid?

They looked at Dora who stopped reading, without having yet completed the list, looking ahead in distress.

Midgard sighed and smiled at him.

"It's just that the condition for getting to Rank B might be... Fancy."

"Fancy?..." He finally looked at her. "How the hell am I supposed to complete all these jobs? How many more will appear when I'm B-Rank?? And A?! What the hell?!"

Everyone looked at each other, intrigued.

"How many jobs do you have?" asked Elizabeth.

"YES!" He responded with a cry of despair.

Freya frowned and asked the same question to Midgard who smiled and placed her hands on her face.

"Yes!"

A few minutes later, Midgard and Dora managed to read the entire job list, skipping a few lines.

The task seemed impossible at first glance, but Candace reassured them that her powers would be enough to cover Dora's raiding needs.

"I hope you're ready for this, this one isn't your average holy knight, this is..."

"Yeah, yeah I know, old reptile, he's the androgynous monster with a personality disorder who carries the sin of 'uuugh, my money!', I know what I have to do!"

Dora looked at her for a few seconds and looked at the sky.

"Sloth but with a 'u'."

Candace jumped on him, held back by Elizabeth.

Eryl looked above as well before turning to him.

"If possible, I would like to confirm your power now, can you have a quick duel?"

Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Dora had become famous for his performance against Thomas and for those who had followed him since, the realization of his level at that moment placed him above the rest.

To put it simply, no one could be a real challenge in this place, Elizabeth was out of reach and the others were not at Thomas' level, or rather before this night's training.

Dora's eyes wandered and landed dangerously on Oddegürd.

"No, you're not fighting a teacher." Candace groaned.

"So what? Are you gonna take his spot? Or should I ask Thomas for a rematch?"

"... You barely know him yet you're acting as if he wasted your life!"

"Well, someone's life definitely got wasted but hey, that's not mine."

They glared at each other with intense hatred until the tip of the sword hit the ground.

"S'kuse me, but I think you're dodging the best challenger possible."

They turned around, facing the face of the academy, student council president, and strongest emissary of her generation.

"I've been waiting for too long."
