172 Rina Hagane

Despite all his efforts aside from his own fireball he still wasn't able to feel any other prana. Maybe he didn't have any elemental roots in the first place. Well, now that was a disappointing thought. Even though he didn't want to admit it when Richard told him about the Sovereigns he could not help but imagine becoming one as well. He was still 15, so his root wasn't completely developed. Maybe, the stones would affect his root development or something and he would be a Fire Sovereign.

Even though the club never mentioned something like that if it ever went that far in the power scale Max would have definitely given that bullshit reason to make Linri op again. So why can't that happen in reality? Why did he have to fucking try so much when his other 'friends' had it easy? Kris was basically born with his powers and he had perfect memory. Jaime studied an ancient family sword style which she immediately picked up. Kou was a wind mage... well she changed genders but it shouldn't be hard to become a girl again with enough money right? The only one that got the end of the short stick aside from him was possibly Fosse but from his attitude, Linri felt like he was going to awaken his vampiric bloodline to see again just like RP Fosse. As for Drake, his multiple personality disorder should have been solved and he didn't even do anything to solve it himself.

Now let's look at what Linri went through, he first had to fucking starve himself so that he would have the upper hand in his 'deal' with the gods. Then his arm was broken because he disrespected Lozna. His parents were trapped because of the butterfly effect. Oh yeah, also because of his 'soul' his bloodlines were awakening faster each time he used his power and he could implode at any minute now. Oh, how could he forget? Because of his loose mouth, the gods had learnt he was a transmigrator and he closed the door to his [Ex-Burst]! Do you fucking know what that means!? It was basically playing LoL without your sweet level 6 ability. He was the fucking abomination known as Udyr and we all know how he turned out...

Phew, now that he complained a little he felt good. Of course, at this point, he was aware that all of this was his own edgy teenager mind's fault so there was nobody he could blame but himself. So just like that bastard past Max did, he was going to leave the elemental root problem thingie to future Linri. He was bound to figure something out by that point.

*Fwoooosh*

The door to Linri's room opened signalling that the time for the final battle had arrived. Linri got up and got ready for this battle. As he walked out the door he took a deep breath. Even though he was feeling more confident against Rina now that his element had changed from fire to ice he was still extremely scared of her. In the RP club, Linri and Rina had battled for a total of 17 times and of those battles, he wasn't able to win a single time. Her [Ex-Burst] was just too OP! Linri was also sure that if Muffin himself wasn't an admin that wouldn't have passed.

As he stretched Linri saw Rina walking out of her own room. Her eyes were puffy as if she had cried till now. That didn't fit into her wild image but then again she just lost her brother so it was reasonable.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Name: [Rina Hagane]

Health: 100 / 100

Prana: 500 / 500

Stamina: 200 / 200

Age: [18]

Race: [Human ]

Attributes:

[0.75x Below-average Speed]

[4x Extreme Willpower]

[3x Superior Accuracy]

Primary Ability: [Goddess of Lightning]

Speed Swap - Rina gets 1 extra level of Prana (Extreme [x4]), in exchange for having 1 less level of Speed (Below-Average [x0.75])

LightningBolt - This ability has three attacks that can be used with it, each with varying levels of effects. Each Bolt can only be fired 4 times per 5 seconds, and attack at a rate of 2 Bolts a second. She can also charge for 10 seconds to Limit Break any of her Bolts. The charge can be used while on the move, but not with any other ability.

Piercing Bolts: Rina sends out a fast bolt of Lightning capable of piercing through flesh. The Strength of this attack is 1 rank less than the Speed of it. Using more Prana will make this attack move faster, at the Maximum speed of Extreme. This attack is most effective against Non-Armored targets, due to the bolts not able to pierce most armour. If Rina charges for 5 seconds, she is able to Limit Break her Bolts.

6% Prana makes this attack move at Exceptional Speed and hit for Above-Average Strength.

10% Prana makes this attack move at Superior Speed and hit for Exceptional Strength

25% Prana makes this attack move at Extreme Speed and hit for Superior Strength (Requires 5 seconds of charging)

ImpactBolts: Rina sends out slow, fat bolts of Electricity that are more effective against slow, armoured units. Using more Prana will make this attack hit harder up to the maximum of Extreme Strength, but at the cost of 2 less Speed than what the Strength is. If Rina charges for 5 seconds, she is able to Limit Break her Bolts.

8% Prana makes this attack hit for Exceptional Strength and move at Average Speed

14% Prana makes this attack hit for Superior Strength and move at Above-Average Speed

22% Prana makes this attack hit for Extreme Strength and move at Exceptional Speed (Requires 5 seconds of charging)

FastLightning: Rina sends out fast bolts of Lightning that can be shot more in a single round. They can be fired 9 times in 5 seconds with a fire rate of 3 Bolts a second. The downside to these bolts is that they are not as strong as the other bolts. Their Strength is 3 less than their Speed. They only go up to a maximum of Extreme Speed and Above-Average Strength. This attack does not need a charge to Limit Break.

6% Prana can make a bolt that hits for Below-Average Strength and move at Exceptional Speed

12% Prana can make a bolt that hits for Average Strength and move at Superior Speed

24% Prana can make a bolt that hits for Above-Average Strength and move at Extreme Speed

AOE Lightning: Rina can 'unfocus' her Lightning Bolt ability to create a cone of Electricity that hurts enemies based on how much Prana she puts into the ability. The Base damage for this ability is Exceptional Strength. The cone can also get bigger depending on how much Prana is used, but it is normally 5 feet long and 4 feet wide and costs 20% Prana without enhancers. Damage and Area Enhancers stack with each other to give both extra range and damage but costing extra Prana based on which enhancements are used.

Weapon of lightning - Rina can imbue any weapon with lightning. This makes the weapon hit for 2 ranks of Strength higher. If Rina Infuses her own [Blade of Lightning], she gets the same effects as infusing any other weapon, but the weapon itself will look different. The infused weapon will stay infused for 25 seconds or until Rina chooses to cancel it. Infusing a weapon costs 10% of her Prana.

Additionally, Rina can perform different moves while her weapon is infused, at the cost of not being able to use her Lightning Bolt or AOE Lightning.

Lightning Rails - Whenever Rina is on a powerable source of electricity (like a power line or train tracks) Rina can glide on the said line and increases her speed by 2 ranks. This uses 6% of her Prana every 5 seconds.

Electric Slide - Similar to Lightning Rails, Rina can use Electricity to reduce the friction between her body and the ground, making her able to slide and dash similar to the PTX-140 from Lost Planet. Rina can use all of her abilities except Electromagnetic Barrier with this. Rina can make herself go faster with this ability depending on how much Prana she puts into it (Capped at Superior). She can use this ability for as long as she has Prana for it, and the Prana drains every 5 seconds she uses it. If she is slowed, she can use more Prana to counter-act the slow. Rina can only use this ability once every 5 seconds. In addition, Rina loses one rank of Accuracy while using this spell.

Like a battery - Rina can charge any electronic just by touching it, because of electricity. Rina cannot use this power to charge the device past its normal limits, (so she can't make anything explode). This uses 1% of her Prana reserves.

Electromagnetic Barrier - Rina can charge the iron particles in the ground to come out of the ground and cover herself. This cover will protect all of her body at a Maximum Endurance equal to 3 ranks higher than her own Endurance but renders her unable to move for 5 seconds. This can be used in conjunction with Static Cling at the cost of doubled Prana cost for Static Cling.

Electromagnetic barrier uses varying amounts of her Prana depending on how strong she wants the barrier to be.

10% equals a 1 Rank increase in Endurance

20% equals a 2 Rank increase in Endurance

30% equals a 3 Rank increase in Endurance

Static Cling - Rina can cling to any metal surface with her electric powers due to Electromagnetism. Latching onto the ground to prevent herself from moving costs 2% Prana every 5 seconds. Latching onto a wall costs 4% of her Prana each five seconds. Latching onto the Ceiling costs 10% of her Prana each 5 seconds. Rina can also run along the walls, and only the walls, using this ability, but this costs 10% of her Prana each 5 seconds. This ability can be used in conjunction with Electromagnetic Barrier, but costs double the amount of Prana when doing so. If an enemy uses skills or strength to try and move Rina while she is using this ability, the Prana cost is increased by each level of Strength used.

1.5x Prana for 1 level of Strength

2x Prana for 2 levels of Strength

3x Prana for 3 levels of Strength

Control of Nerves and Muscle - Rina is able to use her powers to take control of her muscles and nerves when they have been rendered ineffective through the use of drugs or other powers. The cost of this, however, is that she requires to constantly use her powers on her body, making her a walking stun gun. She can not keep this up longer than 3 minutes, and in battle, this lowers down to 15 seconds. After 15 seconds, all of her Prana is used up and she is considered defeated and Incapacitated. If Rina turns off this ability early, then she loses Prana corresponding to the number of seconds she used for. If she used it for 5 seconds, she loses 33% of her current Prana. If she uses it for 10 seconds, then she loses 66% of her current Prana.

Secondary Ability: [None]

-------------------------------------------------------------

Linri's eyes popped up the moment he read her stats. These weren't supposed to be her abilities. She was much weaker than that. Heck! Much weaker doesn't even cut it. This version of her was even stronger than her fucking evolved form in the club. How the fuck was this allowed? Hello! GM! GOD! Whatever you are! How the fuck can you allow an abomination like that exist? Where was the fucking fairness in this?

Linri started to sweat for real this time. Looking at his own ability he felt like cursing again. How the fuck was he supposed to defeat her. I mean sure he had some tricks up his sleeves thanks to his fight against Udcek but the tricks he figured out was more geared towards the AoE attacks. He was fighting skeleton hordes each night so of course, he was more fighting against weak mobs rather than a strong individual. .was fighting her even worth it? He could surrender right now and get on with it. Then what was he supposed to do when he met with stronger opponents? The stats he had read didn't even include Rina's [Ex-Burst] which he guessed she hadn't awoken yet. If he can't even defeat a pre-evolution Rina, he might as well just commit suicide in this world. Mind you, she was just a student character and in the following events, the students were going to fight against raid bosses. So if even a single student was this strong how strong were the so-called raid bosses?

This was frustrating, more frustrating than he thought it could ever be. He had gambled his life just to gain this little bit of power but it was nothing in front of the eyes of the truly strong. Huh, how could he ever think he was the strongest student in Autumnfall? Admittedly, alongside Linri and Kou, Rina was one of the strongest students in the whole school so he shouldn't feel this bad but he couldn't stop himself from getting depressed. It was like his whole world view was shattered overnight.

"Scared?" Rina said in a haughty expression.

"Yeah, I am so scared that I can't even put it into words. In-game terms you seem like a true end game boss" Linri said honestly. Unlike normal, there wasn't a single bit of sarcasm in his words.

"Too bad, I can't say the same to you, coward!" Rina kept on provoking Linri. She was hinting on the fact that he had decided to hid her stats instead of making it public. Wait, that was somewhat of an advantage, wasn't it? She shouldn't be aware that he could ice at night. Maybe, if he could use his [Bracers of Nox MK I] to attack he can take her down in a single ambush with his [Ice Wall]... No, this was too cowardly. He didn't want to feel small anymore. If he was going to defeat her, he was going to do it fair and square. He was going to destroy all his inner demons starting with her. As the end result he might implode from overusing his ability but this time and this time only he was not going to make an excuse. He was going to overpower her with sheer strength!
