The Cheat Seed

Chapter 41

"Woah, Nice punch"

*CHUCKLE*

Marcus chuckled as he held Dave's fist with his pinky. He then changed his fingers and held his whole fist inside his palm and gave it a warm squeeze.

Dave's eyes were wide opened. His thoughts scurried inside his mind as he thought about his childhood bestie and his new power.

"There he goes again, Dave why'd you go easy on me?"

Marcus said just so that Dave's parents wouldn't have a heart attack or two at the same time.

Marcus smile made Dave calm. But he chanted the same words again and again inside his mind.

'That was my full power' (Chant).

Marcus snapped his fingers and the whole destroyed curb along with the house vanished and only him and Dave were present inside an abyss standing on a piece of land each.

It was A Domain Expansion. Marcus had just activated The Flame Emperor's Alternate Domain. He learned it from the system a few days ago when he made his way back to his home.

Highly talented Seed users could make an area their own domain by expanding their Soul energy over the land. Being a Cheat Seed user Grants them with an extra Domain Slot.

What Marcus was using now was The Flame Emperor's alternate or the second Domain.

The Abyss Hole.

He still hadn't yet figured what his main domain was. He was only able to form the Abyss Hole mainly because of the system and his own experience in it. He had felt how it was, inside the Abyss. His 6000 dungeon years were really bearing fruits now. He had just blocked a full power attack from the 3rd most powerful person in the world and his Best friend, A legendary Seed user at his peak!.

That day The Emperor had expanded his Domain on the whole Guardian trial Dungeons. That drained a lot of energy out of him. Maintaining a Domain for 2 whole years was no joke and it was the Flame Emperor so that was no surprise as well.

Marcus was standing on a piece of land which was suspended in the air and Dave was as well on a land just 10 meters away from him.

Dave looked dazed. But he managed to ask his friend.

"Isn't this a Domain??"

"Yes it is"

"How'd you..."

Dave's voice faded into a distance. He was speechless. He didn't know what to ask Marcus.

As if knowing what Dave was going to ask, Marcus shouted across to him.

"I have a Seed now and It's not a Legendary one"

Dave's eyes widened when he heard Marcus's words. He remembered Marcus telling the same thing two days before the Awakening test. His eyes closed and his mind drifted back to two years.

Marcus's Academy face came to view. The burgundy red hair which was set up in a bang and the specs he wore on his gaunt face became more detailed as Dave's memory got stronger.

Marcus flashed a smile at him.

"Dave, Why don't we create some cool dialogue to say when we Awake our Seed??"

Dave remembered Marcus asking him and he smiled subconsciously when he realized he had also chimed in with Marcus on that idea.

Then came those words.

"I know a perfect line when I come out of the test with a Cheat seed"

Marcus said in the flashback.

"I have a Seed now and It's not a Legendary one"

Marcus grinned as he said that line to Dave and he remembered how He had slapped Marcus across the face, his specs flying across the classroom. He slapped him because he had thought how cool that line was and why he wasn't the one who could say that.

It was plain Jealousy.

*SLAP*

Dave spat out saliva as a palm forced through his cheeks.

"And that's for the slap you gave me for no reason back then"

Marcus said as he grinned, hanging upside down in the air.

His loose hair fell down on Dave's face and tingled his nose buds. Dave took in a huge gulp of air and sneezed. Marcus saw it coming and landed himself down on the land beside Dave.

"You have a Cheat Seed now?....Bro??"

Dave asked as his Eyes widened with light at the end of his speech.

Marcus looked at Dave and saw his eyes gleaming. Marcus grinned at Dave. That jerk Dave he once knew was back....

.....

Dave and Marcus had the best time of their life inside his domain. Marcus filled in details about his Dungeon life but left out the details of Crayalus and Guardians on purpose.

Dave also filled in the details about his two long years without Marcus. How he had gone into a berserk mode, taking on Dungeons after Dungeons which landed him the nickname 'The DaveDevil' and how he was a second year in the Unreal academy.

Marcus snapped when he heard about the Acdemy.

"Now that I am 'capable enough' to be a student in the Unreal Academy.."

Marcus said sarcastically.

"Will I get a an admission there sir 3rd most powerful person!!"

Marcus completed his sentence.

"Stop it"

Dave said with a chuckle. This time they were spending together made them feel like that they were back in High school.

"Of course you will, I will pass a personal request from my side to the Headmaster"

Dave said as he remembered Marcus's question.

"And by the way, I want to fight you again Marcus"

Dave said shifting his gaze at Marcus.

"Yea?...Well I am ready..you tell me the place and time"

"No, No, not like a street brawl"

Dave shook his head.

"Then?"

Marcus perched his eyebrow.

"There's this Annual Battle Competition happening in three months time."

Dave said as he kept his brown eyes fixed at Marcus's turquoise green pupils.

"I want you to rank up to the second year within that time and battle me.....with your own team"

"Wait, My own team??"

Marcus asked in confusion.

"Yes, You can choose anyone within the Academy, by that I mean the students from first to third years, that is the only rule, This is not going to be an individual battle, Instead the battle is a Five versus Five match"

Dave finished his words.

His eyes found the dirt for a moment and then glanced back at his friend's eyes.

"That back there, was not my full powere"

Dave said with a grin.

Of course it was his full power, but... All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Nah, It was my full power but.....just because it is going to be a team battle, My team has hope against you, that is if you succeed fulfilling the conditions first"

Dave said as his voice went deeper like he was being really confident as well as serious.

"And why is that?"

Marcus asked with a smirk of interest.

"Because one of my teammates is.."

his look changed into something ferocious as Dave looked into Marcus's eyes in complete confidence just like a predator would watch its prey.

"RAKA....RILES"

'DOOOOOOM'

Marcus's eyes went wide at the name.

'Riles' he thought..

Wasn't that the Family name of The Flame Emperor!!!!?????.
