Chapter 504 Ascension To Rank-SS???
"Aren't we missing someone? Where is Zero, the guy who got 7 pills?"
"Is he dead?"
"He must have gotten greedy and stayed inside the Luminary Spring longer than he was meant to. Typical of a greedy human!" …
Other people also began noticing that Zero didn't come out even after Seraphine. This led to many believing that maybe Zero died.
After all, even someone as strong as Seraphine with 8 pills came out but he didn't. And they didn't think his body was tougher than a Rank-S Aasimar.
Murmurs and speculations filled the air as onlookers debated the possible reasons for Zero's extended stay. Many already believe he must have died and for many it was a good thing. Especially for people like Elrond and William who always wished for that.
Sylvia and others listening to them talk about that, were obviously worried. Even Amelia, who reassured them, became a bit worried.
She knows that Zero is stronger than he looks but still she wasn't sure whether he would be that stronger than Seraphine, plus Seraphine has more pills.
But still she believed that Zero must have his reason and he wouldn't die that easily like many thought.
While outside, there was a lot of commotion, inside the Luminary Spring, it was peaceful with Zero occupying the whole male section of Luminary Spring.
And Zero was nowhere close to being done. Although he only got 7 pills, which is less than Seraphine, his strong body allowed him to stay inside Luminary Spring much longer than her.
At the moment, he has taken 6 pills and was about to take his last pills. With this, he could stay for around 20 minutes more.
In any case, this was his last chance. He was still at the peak of Rank-A + and trying to break through to Rank-S -. ******
Outside the Luminary Spring, the people were curiously waiting for Mia Frostine to appear. As for Zero, with many minutes passed since Seraphine emerged, they just kept it as Zero being dead.
It had been 20 minutes since Seraphine had come out from Luminary Spring, and they knew that it was almost time for Mia Frostine, the person with the most pills, to appear. And they also know that if there was anyone who made the highest progress then it would be Mia Frostine for sure.
With 10 pills and being the winner of the Geniuses contest, everyone was patiently waiting for Mia Frostine.
As the minutes ticked away, the crowd outside the Luminary Spring grew increasingly restless. Speculations and whispers filled the air, with many anticipating that Mia's transformation would be nothing short of astounding. After all, 10 pills were a significant advantage over anyone else who had entered the Luminary Spring.
But just when the anticipation reached its peak, the surface of the spring remained undisturbed. There was no sign of Mia emerging, and the murmurs among the onlookers grew louder.
"Where is she?"
"Is something wrong? Did she overexert herself?" …
The anxiety in the crowd was palpable, and even Hiro and his companions, who had already exited the spring, exchanged worried glances. They couldn't help but wonder if something had gone wrong inside. After all, not only Zero but even Mia Frostine showed no sign of coming out.
Inside the Luminary Spring, Mia Frostine was undergoing an extraordinary transformation. With her exceptional talent and the tremendous boost from the 10 pills, her progress was nothing short of spectacular. As she continued her cultivation, her aura grew increasingly potent, and the water around her seemed to respond to her presence. The Luminary Spring itself began to ripple and shimmer with an otherworldly light, reflecting Mia's unparalleled growth.
Mia was determined to make the most of this opportunity. She already has reached the peak of Rank-S + and is now trying to break through to Rank-SS, the rank of the strongest individuals in the world.
If she succeeds, she will not only be the strongest person in the whole of Edolas but also be the youngest to reach such rank.
She was on the brink of a breakthrough that no one could have predicted. Outside, the crowd's restlessness had turned into outright concern. Some were discussing the possibility of sending someone inside to check on Mia, while others believed she must have encountered a problem and needed help.
Just when it seemed like they couldn't wait any longer, the surface of the Luminary Spring finally stirred, and a figure emerged. Mia Frostine appeared from the Luminary Spring!
Her appearance and presence leave everyone in awe. She had not only reached Rank-S+ but had surpassed it, ascending to a realm that was beyond anyone's expectations. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Mia Frostine has successfully ascended to the rank of the strongest. She was Rank-SS -!
Mia Frostine emerged from the Luminary Spring, her aura radiating an overwhelming power that sent shockwaves through the crowd. The onlookers were struck dumb by her transformation, unable to comprehend the sheer magnitude of her newfound strength.
"Holy... that's Rank-SS!" someone whispered in disbelief.
Mia's arrival had silenced the crowd, but it was only a brief moment before the spectators erupted into a cacophony of cheers, gasps, and exclamations of amazement. The news of a young genius reaching Rank-SS spread like wildfire among the gathered crowd.
Hiro, Sylvia, Amelia, and their companions could only stare in awe at Mia's incredible achievement. Even Amelia, who had just reached Rank-S+, was left astounded by Mia's extraordinary progress. Mia had not only surpassed her but had reached a rank that was considered the pinnacle of power.
She thought that she must have shortened the gap between herself and Mia, only to be left in dust by her.
She wasn't the only one. Princess Elenia and Seraphine also looked at Mia with widened eyes. They couldn't believe just how powerful their rival has become.
They knew that Mia would make incredible progress but never to this degree. Now, she was on par with some of the most powerful people in the world and even though they were almost equal in strength before, now they were no longer her match.
Even the arrogant Princess Elenia didn't think she could win against Mia, at least at this moment. To compete with Mia, they also need to be in the same rank but they were far from achieving that.
"WOW!... She really is in Rank-SS!"
"The Strongest! She is an unparalleled genius!"
"Dammit! Looks like we are not geniuses but some trash!" …
The group of geniuses still couldn't believe that someone from their generation has managed to ascend to Rank-SS. It was truly a shock, even for Aranic and Nock Fletcher!
Nock Fletcher is a respectable Rank-SS and he viewed those groups of geniuses like his children. Their age was similar to what his daughter was and now someone from that group has managed to break through to Rank-SS, same as him.
Now, he must view Mia as an equal rather than some genius who needs his protection. And of course, he was happy that Mia was able to achieve such incredible achievement and break through to Rank-SS.
But at the same time, he was starting to doubt his capabilities. He was also a world renowned genius when he was younger and there were a lot of expectations on him which he delivered.
He became Rank-SS which is the highest rank that the world has at the moment but it was only at age 40 that he broke through that rank.
When compared to Mia, he is almost ashamed to have the label of genius. In any case, he believes that it is great from humanity to have such geniuses who can protect the Human Domain in the future.
"Mia, Congratulations!"
Amelia continued, "I can't believe that you have ascended to Rank-SS!"
"Thanks, Amelia! Congratulations to you too!"
Mia replied. She could sense that her friend has progressed a lot and if given the same amount of pills as her, maybe, just maybe, Mia thought that Amelia might have also broken through to Rank-SS.
"Congratulations, Professor Mia!"
Hiro and his group also congratulated her. "Thank you!"
MIa replied and she turned around like she was looking for someone.
"Where is Zero?"
Mia asked confusedly. She thought that Zero would be among the first to congratulate her but he was nowhere to be seen.
Amelia and Hiro's group exchanged worried glances as they didn't know how to answer that question.
