Shackles Of Reality

Chapter 13: Rank Advancement



**Adam Walker's POV**

Today's the third day since I started training with instructor Blake I thought as I made my way to the portal station. By the time I arrived it was already 4:55 am and just like the last two days he was meditating.

I already knew what to do by this point. The "conditioning" as he called it. In about thirteen minutes I was done. That was two minutes earlier than yesterday.

The moment I finished, instructor Blake opened his eyes and stood up.

"Good morning" I greeted.

He nodded before saying "l let's get to work"

I became a punching bag throughout the remaining time we had that is almost two hours and like the past two days I dragged my body back to my dorm.

I reached my dorm around ten minutes after seven. I freshened up went out of the building. I sighed for the nth time as I paid the ten points for using the portal. Points suckers I say.

Soon I reached the class and at least half of the cadets were already present. I climbed up the stairs and took my seat by the window. I thank God because Owen didn't seem to notice my arrival as he was busy talking with victor Crimson the rank 5 guy from the crimson family.

I sat down in silence with some students often sneaking a glance at me and whispering. I wondered what they were gossiping about. I knew it was definitely about me.

At exactly eight o'clock a fat man with an enormous pot belly came into the class before walking towards the teachers stand.

"My name is Charles Ross but you can address me as instructor Ross and I'll be taking you history" he said while facing the cadets.

The history class was overwhelming, overwhelmingly boring.That fat dude was just repeating everything on the holographic board like a broken record.

We headed to the combat class as it was the only class we had every week day except for Fridays. It was also surprisingly boring as instructor Blake didn't show up today.

Only a young man claiming to be his assistant showed up saying he had something to do. And to his astonishment most of the students were rejoicing at instructor Blake's absence.

I was enjoying my food in peace and silence when a certain nuisance appeared before me and started talking nonstop.

"Don't you ever get tired of talking?" I asked the noble.

"Nope not until you agree to be my friend" he replied dramatically.

"Sigh if I agree will you stop pestering me? I asked. The guy was a chill dude if not for his flaw. Granted everyone has their flaws but this guy just talks too much and if I keep declining hell just keep on pestering me.

"Yes we'll be best friends and I'll keep to my promise to teach you how to live life" he exclaimed.

"No you don't need to do that" I said in a flat tone irritation almost managing to slip into it.

"No I will fulfill my promise" he exclaimed dramatically.

"Suit yourself" I said with a sigh.

Today after lunch we had wild life codex class. It was the class about the currently known beasts and wild plants from their names to their abilities. The instructor was a nice amiable lady and she also sent the codex to each of our smartwatches to memorize in our free time.

The moment the class was over I sneaked away to avoid Owen. When I reached my dorm I didn't sit after all today was the day. I freshened up and put on a matching hoodie and sweatpants before heading out.

After I came out of the building I started jogging to the far west. It was three pm and the sun was still high in the sky. As soon as I was out of sight I increased my speed and as if feeling it was not enough I used my gravitational field to enhance myself making me go faster. I was running at about two hundred miles per hour and this was just iron rank.

After I was sure I had gone far enough away from the dorms area I stopped by a lake. The academy doesn't care how you spend your free time or where you go as long as you are back in your room before curfew and abstain from a few restricted areas.

I sat down in meditation by the lake, I could feel it I was about to breakthrough to silver rank. I looked inside bloodline abode I saw my bloodlines in a condensed state.

I had condensed them to 100%. I increased the pressure on them and they started to shrink until they could not shrink anymore before exploding outwards with a newfound power and vigor. I had done it, I had entered silver rank.

With the breakthrough came enhancement of my entire being. From the bloodlines themselves to my abilities, increase in my bloodline energy. And also physical and mental enhancement. It felt like I was reborn anew.

Now to test my current physical capabilities. I tested my base strength by punching a tree. But I couldn't quite get my current physical strength that way as any tree I punched simply exploded so I had to switch to boulders

As for my speed it also increased dramatically and when I enhance it with my gravitational field I was easily twice as fast as before. If I decided to just follow the maps now from the dorms to the academic building it'll take me no more than an hour.

We had the entire map of the academy and it was showing from our dorms to the academic building the distance was roughly four hundred and twenty-five miles.

My gravitational field also increased from 400 metres diameter to about a kilometer.

I tried my other abilities and each of them had grown stronger. I could increase the gravity and crushing force in my gravitational field to higher levels and faster than before too.

The decrease of gravity too became easier and faster than before.

Now I could attarct and repel matter as heavy as a ton and the best thing is everything in my gravitational field as long as it's not heavier than a ton could be attracted or repelled.
