Her hair floated effortlessly, as if she were a shining, golden star, illuminating everything around her.
The principal, awestruck and intimidated by Mi-cha's celestial presence, stumbled backward, his eyes wide with fear. "I didn't know you were this strong!" he exclaimed, his voice trembling.
With a burst of confidence, the principal attempted to punch Mi-cha in the stomach, but his fist froze in mid-air as Mi-cha paused time itself. The world around her became a statue, with everything and everyone locked in place.
Mi-cha's movements became a blur as she danced around the principal, her golden aura leaving trails of glittering stardust in her wake. "This is incredible!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with wonder. "I'm so fast that everything's come to a halt!"
With a gentle touch, Mi-cha's finger made contact with the principal's back, sending him flying away from the school and into the vast expanse of the multiverse, his body burning up because of the force of impact created by her finger, due to his durability he was able to hold on a little but eventually her energy kicked in, his body burnt up quickly and explode. Time flowed again, and in the blink of an eye, Mi-cha appeared beside Ji-hoon, who was in his Nova Awakening state, and Kim the elf, who was in his Runes state.
With a swift touch, Mi-cha cancelled Kim's Runes state and defeated the other four first-class students in a flash, her movements a whirlwind of golden light and energy.
Kim's eyes widened in shock as he gazed at Mi-cha, who stood before him in a celestial form that seemed almost divine. "I…I can't believe I was defeated so easily by Mi-cha, Muhan's girl," he stammered. "If I couldn't even get past Mi-cha, then I never stood a chance against Muhan."
As Kim spoke, Ji-hoon, still in his Nova Awakening state, Mi-cha, and Kim the elf descended from the depths of space, returning to the school. Mi-cha's presence was like that of a star ascending, shining brightly as she flew down. As she landed, she deactivated her celestial state.
Her system notified her that she needed to name the state herself. Mi-cha thought for a moment, reflecting on the characteristics of her newfound power. "This state makes me look like a bright, celestial, omnipresent being, and it allows me to do everything with grace," she mused. "How about… 'Grace Form'?"
She input the name into her system, and a notification appeared, announcing that she had gained a passive skill: Celestial Eyes. This skill allowed her to see into the depths of space, zooming through universes and multiverses. Her eyes glowed dazzling gold as she gazed into space, her brow furrowed with worry about Muhan. However, she couldn't find him.
"I hope he's okay," she thought to herself, her concern for Muhan's safety growing by the minute.
Meanwhile, Muhan and Jin-ho had taken their fight to unprecedented heights, their battle raging across the omniverse and into the Hyperverse. Their movements were imperceptible, their punches colliding with such force that they destroyed half of the Hyperverse. The other half was thrown off balance, reality itself torn asunder by their blows.
Muhan, still in his Aether Awakening state, and Jin-ho, still in his Beast form, continued to exchange blows, their fight threatening to destabilize the very fabric of existence. Just as they were about to deliver the final blow, a powerful presence intervened, shattering reality and restoring balance to the vast expanse of the Hyperverse.
The Demi-god of the Leveling Realm stood before them, his aura demanding respect. "Interesting, Muhan and Jin-ho," he said, his voice like thunder. "You've taken half of the Hyperverse. That's quite a feat."
Muhan and Jin-ho, still in their empowered states, froze, their eyes fixed on the Demi-god. They knew that they were in the presence of a being far more powerful than themselves.
The Demi-god's gaze swept across the ravaged landscape of the Hyperverse, his expression unreadable. "Your battle has caused significant damage to the fabric of reality," he said, his voice firm but measured. "I will not permit this destruction to continue."
Muhan and Jin-ho exchanged a wary glance, their chests heaving with exertion. They knew that they had pushed the limits of their power, and that the Demi-god's intervention was a stern warning.
The Demi-god raised his hand, and everywhere turned dark and it enveloped Muhan and Jin-ho, the darkness was so thick that it could be felt. When the darkness faded, they found themselves standing in a vast, empty space, the Hyperverse restored to its former glory.
"This is a temporary reprieve," the Demi-god said, his eyes glinting with a hint of warning. "Your battle will resume, but next time, I will not intervene. You must find a way to resolve your differences without destroying the fabric of reality."
With that, the Demi-god vanished, leaving Muhan and Jin-ho to ponder the gravity of his words. They knew that their next battle would be decisive, and that the fate of the omniverse hung in the balance.
Meanwhile, back at Wysteria Academy, Mi-cha was growing increasingly anxious about Muhan's whereabouts. She had tried to contact him using her Celestial Eyes, but he was nowhere to be found.
"Where are you, Muhan?" she whispered, her eyes scanning the vast expanse of space. "Please come back to me."
