Chapter 27 - Independent Seed

"I also have a problem and I hope you can look at it from another angle…" 

Taking a deep breath he continued "As you must have noticed I also have a twin…"

Seth nodded, that was a no-brainer, Seth found out the second day in the academy, it was just as he assumed the young man that trailed behind Dione must have been Valesco's Twin.

It was funny really to find out two of his roommates were twins, it made him wonder could it be Gerald also had a twin.

"Me and my twin brother are special, In the sense that when we became irregular we awakened a single seed …" Reaching this point Valesco's arms trembled recalling the day it all began, that day was the start of his brother's life and the end of his.

"Our Seed was a unique seed called an independent seed, it is called that because it holds the ability within itself, and it doesn't grant them unto the user, so usually irregulars with independent seeds can't use abilities without holding their seeds.."

"The seed we awakened was called the ten blades of the sword king, and as you must have guessed each of the ten blades had their abilities. Our parents were so happy at the revelation of this as both of us didn't need to go through the stress of awakening any further, as our seed had already awakened to its fullest, each of us could have taken five blades and we would immediately have ascended to the peak of power, joining the ranks of the strongest in Elyon…"

Seth's eyes were wide in shock his mouth agape 'This…. This was simply unfair' to think that there were individuals that could fully awaken with all five abilities on the first day…. They wouldn't have to go through the stress of looking for requirements to unlock their seeds or trying to complete ordeals like Seth.

They would become powerhouses from the very start, but looking at the single sword behind Valesco, Seth was pretty sure something tragic must have happened midway…

"Well or so we thought that was until our situation was reported to the higher-ups, and General Scar heard of us" When Valesco called the General name his handsome features warped into a resentful scowl.

"The old bastard wasn't thrilled at the fact that our unique seed could take us to the peak In one sitting, not far from it even only God knows how the old bastard's twisted mind works but where others saw two new powerhouses he saw one unprecedented Monster, and that reasoning was the start of my downfall" the more Velasco spoke the more his words were laced with malice.

"The general saw a chance to break through the limits of the human race, the limit that put us under the restriction of five abilities. You see, the thing is, the fact that me and my brother awakened one seed, that had ten sets with ten abilities, gave for the loophole that allowed one of us to be able to use all ten swords claiming all ten of abilities in one body…"

Immediately hearing this Seth thought back to the figure that stood before him a few days ago, he vaguely remembered nine swords sitting on his back right….

Monster Alert!!!! To think he encountered such a formidable person and to think they were around the same age….. God the desparity!!! 

Looking at the camera hanging on his neck, he sighed inwardly why couldn't this be one of those stories where he the main character gets the most overpowered ability…

(⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

As though not noticing Seth's emotional state he continued.

"The original plan was to give one of us the ten blades while the other became a regular person. Naturally I couldn't accept why one of us had to rise for the other to fall when we could both get to the peak 

in one leap…" 

On reaching this point valesco trembled this time Seth could practically feel the malicious intent seething in the atmosphere…

"Unfortunately for me, I was the only one who disagreed, my brother meanwhile seemed overly optimistic about being the first human with more than five abilities, So from there with the support of General Scar he was able to be the chosen one…. He was supposed to take all ten but the scientists said that leaving one of us without the seed would be lethal, so through the sympathy of my brother, I was bestowed the weakest and most useless sword called the little cutter…"

Looking into Valesco's eyes though he tried to hide it Seth could see it, the pure hatred he had for his brother and the killing intent hidden within his heart.

"My blade called the little cutter was a pair, its other half was called the giant cutter, as the name states the giant cutter was a blade that could cut down mountains and sunder seas, while the little cutter was the opposite it could be able to cut anything as long as it wasn't bigger than an apple…"

Looking at the sword behind Valesci Seth finally understood what he was called here for. "Can I hold it?" Seth requested.

Hesitating a bit Valesco pulled the sword from his back and handed it over to Seth. 

Accepting the blade first thought in Seth's head was ' So light' Yes the sword was as light as could be, and that didn't affect the balance of the sword, on its silver hilt a complex imprint could be seen, that read 'little cutter' and the blade though sharp it didn't cut Seth when he picked his index with it, he was assuming that it was because of the restriction of not being able to cut anything bigger than an apple.

After examining the sword for a moment he asked his system mentally 'Scan this seed.'

Buzz!
