Chapter 3 - THE GRANDMASTERS

We are the Grandmasters, defenders of the Zeikuverse.

GRANDMASTER OF FAITH: We summoned you, young heroes, because we need your help.

The Students: Our help!?

GRANDMASTER OF FAITH: Yes. You see, this verse is on the brink of collapse. In two years' time, a great evil will arise-one that even we, the Grandmasters, cannot fully comprehend.

Reika Achigawa: …Hold on. I don't understand. You said you're the defenders of the Zeikuverse. How is it that this "great evil" can't be stopped by you? What are we going to do against something even you can't handle?

GRANDMASTER OF PURITY: Excellent question. The truth is, we are guardians, not omnipotent saviors. The calamity approaching isn't something one or two of us could defeat. That is why you were chosen to become the next Defenders. We simply aren't strong enough ourselves.

Dranexx (thinking): What a load of BS. They can fool everyone else, but not me. There's no such thing as a "great evil" here… probably just some fabricated story. Hah! Fine. If it's going to cure my boredom, I'll play along.

(Out loud) Don't make me laugh. "Great evil," huh? So… what are our special powers to fight this so-called threat? Also… I only see seven of you here, but I count nineteen thrones. Where are the other twelve? Or are they just doing whatever they want?

THE GRANDMASTER OF FAITH (thinking): No… wait… this boy has seen through our plans? That's… unusual. Normally, anyone summoned from the Other World must first receive blessings from a Grandmaster to gain powers—but he already has them. How…?

GRANDMASTER OF PURITY: Dranexx, is it? You're perceptive… but I'll explain. The other Grandmasters are already engaging the great evil—they're more powerful than we are, but it wasn't enough. That's why we prepared to summon you. I know it's against your will, but—

Dranexx (interrupting): Quick question. You guys aren't the originals, are you!?

Lisa: Dranexx! Be quiet! Interrupting a Grandmaster could come with… well… severe punishment. Let's at least hear them out first. Please, pardon my companion's rudeness.

THE GRANDMASTER OF CELESTIAL: …Hah. I admire his courage, though I already dislike him. But since he's among the summoned heroes, he stays for now.

GRANDMASTER OF TRUTH: I am the Grandmaster of Truth. Everything my colleagues have said is true. We apologize again for summoning you against your will. The truth is… twenty of you were fated to die in a bus explosion. 💥 The bus you were on was already rigged by rival schools.

Students (in despair): SAY WHAT NOW!?

GRANDMASTER OF TRUTH: Indeed. We intervened and summoned you before your tragic end could occur.

Reika: So… there's no going back to the Other World , right?

GRANDMASTER OF TRUTH: Correct.

Akube: Alright… so what's the plan now? Do we get our blessings or special powers?

GRANDMASTER OF TRUTH: Step forward. Your soul will connect to the system, aligning across the verse hierarchy. Then the Grandmaster whose essence aligns with your spirit will bless you.

Akube: That's… aptitude, right?

GRANDMASTER OF TRUTH: Precisely.

Akube: Perfect. Let's get this done we've got a universe to save!

GRANDMASTER OF TRUTH (thinking): This Dranexx… he's unusual. He's already received blessings from two Grandmasters and possesses the aptitude of all Grandmasters… Truly odd.

GRANDMASTER OF CELESTIAL: Yh, that's strange… who are the two grandmasters that already blessed him…?!

Grandmaster T: They're not around much. I'm certain of that.

Akube: Wooo… Dranexx! He's amazing. To think he's already recognized by this world system… I knew he was gifted, but having all the aptitudes of all grandmasters? That's just insane. Man… I've got a long way to go before I can catch up to him. Feels like I've been left behind…

Dranexx: Hmmmm… why are you guys acting surprised…? "Well, you're certainly an interesting one, aren't you?"

Before Dranexx could react further, a grandmaster appeared. It was The Grandmaster of Judgement.

THE GRANDMASTER OF JUDGEMENT: Hold on… wait, wait… he has already obtained ultimate power? Who are you…?

Dranexx: I'm just a guy who seeks entertainment. Right now, what I want is to dominate this world you summoned me to. smirk

Grandmaster J: Alright… I'll give you my blessings. Use them well… Wait, what? You're rejecting my blessings? Why…?

Dranexx: I don't need them. They'd just slow me down for my entertainment. I already accepted two blessings—I don't want to get too overpowered in front of my own classmates. That would be cheating. Hahaha

Akube: Man, you're such a pain! Accept it, you dumbass. Who cares what anyone else thinks?

Grandmaster C: Hmmm… Akube, right? Looks like you have the aptitude of Celestial. I give you my blessings.

Grandmaster J: Wow… you've got one of the most powerful grandmaster blessings. Impressive

Akube: Really?!

Grandmaster C: Use it well. One day, you might surpass your friend there… He may have all the aptitudes of the grandmasters, but I'll never give him my blessings

Dranexx: Like I ever wanted that weak power Hahaha… You're nothing compared to the two grandmasters who blessed me. Am I wrong!?

Grandmaster C: Watch your mouth, mortal. You're in the presence of a being who can erase your very existence… don't push me.

Dranexx: Hahaha Don't make me laugh. You actually believe you could erase me? Check again. I've far exceeded those limits… I have transcended death itself.

The air became intense as Dranexx released a harmonious aura laced with killing intent

Grandmaster T: That's not nearly enough to intimidate us, human

Akube: Hey buddy… cool down. Let's just get out of here … Once again, I'm sorry on behalf of my friend. Please forgive him.

Grandmaster T: Well… you guys can go. Everyone has received their blessings.

Lisa: Honestly, Dranexx… what's wrong with you?

She thought calmly, observing him. "I've never seen him act like this before… He's usually so calm and demure, even at school. But today… I saw a completely different side of him."

Dranexx: "Dimensional Break… Collapse."

In an instant, a crack tore through space itself.

A passageway opened inside the Heavenly Palace.

With Dimensional Break/Collapse, Dranexx can travel across dimensions freely — without limits. At the same time, his mere aura can shatter the laws governing reality. Space bends. Concepts tremble. Even divine order destabilizes in his presence.

Looking at it… it's strange.

Dranexx is truly abnormal.

From the very first moment he appeared in this world, he already possessed power rivaling most of the Grandmasters. And not long after, he awakened two Ultimate Abilities:

1.THE WORLD OF CAVALRY

2.AUTHORITY OVER RUIN

These two abilities are completely broken.

They grant him access to:

•Law Manipulation

•Fate Manipulation

•Reality Warping

•Pure Magic Erasure

•Space-Time Domination

•Extreme Physical Attack Resistance

AUTHORITY OVER RUIN

The ability to erase all forms of magic, devour skills, and overwrite reality itself.

WORLD OF CAVALRY

An ability that grants him access to conceptual weapons — manifestations of every ability that has ever existed, both known and unknown. He doesn't just copy powers… he wields them as weapons.

However, no one can control these weapons without near-limitless energy.

Its core aspects include:

•Concept Manifestation

•Ability Weaponization

•Meta-Ability Arsenal Access

Of course… he kept this hidden.

Even from the Grandmasters who blessed him.

Because he didn't receive this ability from them.

He awakened it on his own — born from his desire for entertainment… the very moment he was summoned into this verse.
