Lu Kai stood, still reeling from the revelations about his sister's awakening and the existence of the Lost Emperor System. The training hall, with its myriad of stations, suddenly felt less like a place for improvement and more like a stage for hidden conflicts and unknown powers.
Just then, a familiar, almost intrusive, chime echoed in his mind. **"Host,"** the Authy System resonated, **"You requested your status. It is time to review your current foundation."**
"Status window," Lu Kai commanded, his voice a low murmur, still tinged with the awe of his rediscovered divine essence.
A holographic screen shimmered into existence before him, displaying a detailed breakdown of his current state:
**NAME:** Lu Kai
**AGE:** 18
**CLASS:** F (Furious Class - Growth Type)
**AFFINITY:** Platinum
**PHYSIC:** 10007
**MENTAL:** Infinity
Below this, his skills were listed:
**SKILL: Platinum Armor**
* *Description:* The entire body will be covered by platinum armor, increasing power by 10%. (Growth Type Skill)
* *Notes:* This skill will grow stronger as Lu Kai himself grows stronger.
**SKILL: Platinum Arms**
* *Description:* Can create weapons of any shape desired. Platinum manipulates and transforms into anything the owner wishes.
**SKILL: Will of Fury**
* *Description:* When the owner has lost all energy in fighting and faces a do-or-die situation, can use Will of Fury as a last resort. The owner's movements become like lightning.
Further down, a tantalizing section was marked:
**18 Elements of Origins:**
* **LOCKED:** Origin skills combined from all Pokémon created by Arceus. When this skill is unlocked, all related abilities will automatically advance to higher growth stages. Arceus can use any moves he wants.
Lu Kai stared, stunned. All of this had been in front of him, a part of his very being, and he hadn't even noticed. The raw Physique value alone, over 10,000, was staggering.
The Authy System's voice chimed again, a slight amusement detectable. **"Host, your Class is F, but it is not a Common F. It is called a Furious Class, a Growth Type classification. This signifies immense potential for development."**
Just then, Niexi's voice cut through the hall, commanding attention. "Students, observe. We have a special demonstration of power." She called forward a girl who radiated an aura of chilling power, a stark contrast to the bright energy of the training hall. "This is Tang Nia," Niexi announced, "the daughter of our Academy Master. Tang Nia, please demonstrate your strength."
Tang Nia stepped forward with an unnerving grace. Her punch against the power testing machine registered an astonishing **1200**. Then, she entered the gravity chamber. Without faltering, she completed Level 7, her movements fluid and controlled even under immense pressure. Her affinity was clearly **Absolute Frost**. Her class was displayed: **Extremely Cold Empress**.
Lu Kai watched, a shiver – not entirely from the ambient temperature – running down his spine. Tang Nia's power was immense, her aura palpable, and her "Absolute Frost" affinity hinted at a terrifying potential, perhaps even surpassing his sister's nascent Unique Frost powers. It was a stark reminder of the sheer power that existed in this world.
After her demonstration, Tang Nia gave a curt nod and, without a word, returned to her own designated room. Her presence was like a cold front passing through.
"Class dismissed for individual training," Niexi announced. "All students will return to their assigned dome areas to consolidate their learnings and begin personal practice. Remember your upcoming tournament team formations."
Lu Kai, his mind still buzzing with the implications of his status window, Tang Nia's power, and his sister's unique abilities, sought out Lu Er. They met in a designated common area, a space designed for brief student interaction before dispersing. They spoke for a long time, Lu Kai carefully sharing what he knew about her frost powers while omitting the system's commentary, and Lu Er excitedly recounting her own feelings of nascent strength.
Later, Lu Kai headed to his own designated dome area. The academy was divided into sections, with separate domes for male and female students. Each room within the dome housed four individuals. Lu Kai entered his assigned quarters, ready to process everything he had learned. To his surprise, he wasn't alone. Standing by one of the beds, his posture relaxed but his eyes sharp and observant, was Xiao Luo.
