YM778.TV Chapter 10: Battle suit
But when he realized that he wasn\'t in the Unclaimed Lands, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He looked around and saw bright rays of sunshine seep through the window sills in his new house. He still wasn\'t comfortable with anything, so he ended up sleeping on the floor.
The bed felt too soft; it was too comfortable.
He then remembered about his advancement to the next stage of his LifeSkill.
[LifeSkills]
Specialty: GLOBAL
—God: (SSS) Grim Reaper Physique
———1st stage Student Realm
————(1000 / 1000)
Specialty: Vanguard
—DPS: (SSS) Cherubic Retribution
———Consolidating the 2nd Stage
————2hrs : 30 mins : 12 secs
Surprisingly, he was able to advance to the next stage of his LifeSkill.
I thought I could only advance in the Remedium.
According to Lizzie, Saviors could only advance their powers in the Remedium.
Is this because my skills are SSS class-rated? Or is it because of my 10-star genus? But then why couldn\'t I advance back in the Unclaimed Lands?
Atlan already tried to advance back then, but nothing happened. He only advanced once he entered Genesis City, a God\'s Territory.
But why did only my Cherubic Retribution LifeSkill advance? Why didn\'t my Physique LifeSkill advance with it? It has enough experience…
Atlan could only guess that it had something to do with the mysterious specialty it had. There should only be two specialties: Vanguard and Operator. There wasn\'t supposed to be a third one called GLOBAL, with a job such as a God.
He then looked at the consolidation period and saw that he still had a few hours left till he fully advanced to the 2nd stage.
Should I test out my skills?
DING DONG
A bell rang inside the house followed by a knock on the door.
"Good morning, Atlan. Are you ready for today?"
Lizzie opened the door and walked inside. She was wearing a green version of her skin-tight suit with padding.
"Why are you sitting on the floor? Whatever, you better hurry up and take a shower."
"Are we going to the HeadQuarters?" he asked her as he got up off the floor.
"Yes, you\'ll be tested on your physical capabilities. After that, you\'ll be able to take on missions according to your skill level. Now go and put this on."
Lizzie handed him a suitcase. "This is your battle suit."
Atlan opened it and saw the same green skin-tight suit with paddings that she was wearing, neatly folded into the case.
He quickly went over to the bathroom and took a shower. After ten minutes, he came out with steam coming out of the bathroom.
He was wearing his first battle suit.
She was surprised to see how natural he looked with it. The green skin-tight suit fitted well with Atlan\'s body, making him look like a full-fledged Savior.
He slowly stretched his body, feeling the suit expand and retract along with his movements. It felt very comfortable, like a second skin.
"It\'s nice," he commented.
"Good. You\'ll be wearing that for most of the time, so tell me if you\'re uncomfortable and we can change it. Are you ready?"
Atlan took a deep breath and nodded. "I\'m ready."
The two of them walked out of the house and onto the streets. They followed the road back to the way they came yesterday, moving past the busy morning streets of the City Center.
As they walked, Atlan noticed that people were looking at them with lingering eyes.
When he looked back at them, they nodded at him with a very thankful smile.
"It\'s because of your battle suit," Lizzie explained. "The people here are very thankful to Saviors like us. We keep the peace in the City and make it a comfortable place to live in."
Only now did he feel the responsibility of wearing the suit. He thought it was just another piece of clothing. He didn\'t know it was a symbol that people looked up to.
As they got closer to the Savior HeadQuarters, he saw more and more people wearing battle suits like him.
But they didn\'t all wear green ones like him; some of them were blue.
"The color of your battle suit distinguishes your LifeSkill specialty.
Green battle suits are worn by Vanguards. They have more defensive paddings for more protection in the Remedium. It\'s a little heavier, but Vanguards generally have better strength than their counterparts.
Blue battle suits are worn by Operators. Theirs might look simple but don\'t underestimate it. They have complex circuitry and mechanisms embedded deep into the fabric. It\'s kind of like their toolbelt to help with their work."
Atlan\'s green battle suit looked simple and crude compared to some of the ones he saw others wearing.
The older Saviors he saw were on their mounts, with strange weapons slung on their backs. He also noticed that their battle suits had symbols on their shoulders.
Lizzie tapped his back. "Don\'t worry. You\'ll get your epaulet once you advance."
Atlan and Lizzie walked up the stairs and reached the main lobby of the Savior HeadQuarters.
As soon as he stepped foot inside, he immediately saw a large electronic map of Genesis City just behind the reception area. Some specific parts of the map had disturbances, like a rock dropping on a still pond.
"Good morning," Lizzie said to the receptionist. She wore a blue battlesuit, which meant that she was an Operator.
"Good morning. What can I help you with?"
Lizzie pointed towards Atlan and said, "I\'m here to register him. I already recorded it yesterday, so it should be in the system by now."
The receptionist looked through her computer and saw that Atlan only had a B class LifeSkill. But when she saw his job, her face completely changed.
"Wow! You\'re a B class Porter! That\'s great news. Your registration is complete, you only need to finish your assessment today and you\'re all good!
Just follow Miss Lizzie over to the testing center. Good luck, Savior!"
The receptionist bumped her fist on her chest two times, and Atlan awkwardly returned the salute.
