I might be a fake Ultraman.

Chapter 5268 Light: Is it all done with just one movement?

"I am the instructor in charge of the Skill Transfer Tower, Berlos."

At the entrance of the skills transfer tower, a smiling young man in an instructor's uniform stood before all the students. His smile was sunny and cheerful. He looked as young as a recent graduate.

Boros's self-introduction mainly focused on light and Bailiyuan.

"Everyone, follow me into the main hall of instruction."

Entering the Skill Transfer Tower is like stepping into the Skill Transfer Hall.

All the trainees arrived at a spacious hall, which was mainly bright yellow, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.

Students of different grades walked by, along with their instructors; they were all clearly there to learn skills.

The floors, walls, and ceilings of the main hall are adorned with epic-style paintings that appear to depict legends.

Guang looked around curiously, spinning around as his eyes widened, overwhelmed by the sights.

"What are these paintings?" Guang couldn't help but ask.

Momona explained the general content of these paintings to Hikari and Hyakuri Eri.

"These paintings depict three important events that humanity has experienced from ancient times to the present."

"These are the birth of humans on the floor, the birth of heroes on the walls, and the rise of humans overhead."

"It is said that the Skill Transfer Tower records all the skills that the human race has mastered from its birth to the present day!"

"Or even some more powerful forces..."

As she recounted these events, Momonao's emotions became noticeably more heightened.

"Cough cough~"

Lingxi suddenly coughed, interrupting Momonao's next words. Momonao also quickly stopped talking and smiled at Hikari.

Everything was natural.

Guang gave a thumbs up: "Although I don't understand it, I'm deeply impressed. Our human race is truly amazing!"

Momonao and Reishi both smiled.

Their smiles were genuine.

"Unfortunately, all that power is in the past. Now, our human race is only a lower-middle-level race in the Great World. The situation in the Great World is not stable right now, and I hope that the human race can rise again," Ling tide said regretfully.

Guang pounded his chest and said solemnly, "It is our duty to rebuild the glory of humanity! Let humanity be great again!"

For some reason, the light felt a special affinity for the human race.

Tai Nao and Ling tide felt even more approval of Hikaru.

Baili Yuan didn't interrupt, but instead looked at all the paintings in the teaching hall.

The three paintings that occupy the entire main hall are naturally not so simple in content.

The floor depicts the gods creating humanity, but also includes humanity's experiences of being oppressed, enslaved, and manipulated.

All that humanity received from the Creator was pain and torment.

The image is dark, dominated by red patterns.

The wall depicts the human race uniting with heroes of all races to rebel against the gods and ultimately overthrow them.

At the very center of the painting, and in the most prominent place, are the Island of Heroes and the Tower of Heroes.

The scene was bright and full of hope.

Finally, Baili Yuan stared at the painting above for a while.

The paintings above were much simpler, but they depicted a human ascending to the mountaintop and sitting on the throne.

What's concerning is that during the epic period, the alien heroes who fought alongside humans all disappeared.

It seems to be merely depicting the prosperity and development of the human race.

However, Baili Yuan thought of something else, a major event concerning the human race that was hidden by all races—the man-made disaster!

Humanity mastered the power of the World Mark, [Devour], and its ambition grew. It then used the power of [Devour] to bypass the Hero Contract and began to wage war against other races, creating a threat that almost swept across the entire continent.

Ultimately, the human race retreated to its original territory under the combined counterattack of various races.

Those who awaken the [Devour] mark disappear, along with their corresponding world mark.

It was after that that humanity gained the power of awakened emblems. In reality, it was a shackle placed on humanity by Alaya, a sugar-coated bullet in another sense. Although every human could become a professional and acquire power more easily, they became dependent on emblem professions, lost their ambition, weakened the foundation of professionals, and thus reduced their own potential.

The end result is that the human race is more likely to have powerful individuals at the level of Great Emblem Envoy, while fewer and fewer powerful individuals at the level of Guardian are being born.

Standing at the entrance of the main hall, Baili Yuan took in all three paintings. He noticed that, whether by coincidence or design, the figure on the throne had the Tower of Heroes under its feet and was looking down at the gods who were the creators of humanity.

"How arrogant... These three paintings were probably created during the man-made disaster."

Although, according to the new pact between humanity and all other races, the man-made disaster was completely erased.

However, the related paintings are still preserved in the teaching hall of Wind City Academy.

However, this does not constitute a breach of contract.

Because none of the three paintings, taken individually, involve human-caused disasters, and there are no written records of them; they are simply the history of human development.

"Xiao Yuan, hurry up and catch up~" Guang called out to Baili Yuan, who was left at the door.

"Coming, coming~" Baili Yuan hurriedly followed with his short legs.

……

Everyone gathered at the center of the skill instruction hall.

There is a ten-meter-high obelisk here.

The skill transfer tower is very tall, but skill transfer classes can be completed in the main hall.

The two instructors, Tianba and Bailuos, stood on either side of the obelisk, facing all the students.

Seeing that a class was coming to teach skills, some passing students and instructors stopped curiously and observed with great interest.

"Alright, line up, one at a time."

"Belos said with a smile."

Tianba revealed a healthy smile.

"Be good! If you do well, you'll get my special attention!"

Guang and Baili Yuan both shivered.

Quack, no!!!

"Haha, you'll get used to it. Instructor Tianba will only give private lessons when students learn special skills," Momonao reassured the two.

"Um~" Hikaru cautiously raised her hand and asked Momonao, "How exactly do we learn skills?"

Previously, they had only learned the basics of the skills.

After thinking for a moment, Momonao gave an answer that she had come up with.

"It's just like drawing cards!"

Hikaru: "Huh?"

……

The first student stepped forward and inserted his student card into a groove on a sphere connected to the obelisk.

That sphere is somewhat similar to the crystal ball used for ability assessment.

Guang and Baili Yuan both opened their eyes wide with anticipation and watched intently.

Then, the student took a deep breath and placed his hand on the obelisk.

The obelisk suddenly lit up, the light shooting out from the top and eventually entering the student's body.

The student closed his eyes tightly, as if accepting something, and three seconds later a faint light flashed on his body.

The student card inserted in the sphere pops out automatically.

“It’s over,” Momonao said to Hikari.

Hikaru: "Huh? So fast? It was over in a flash?"

Baili Yuan: "With such a short time, how can you possibly feel anything? Is the obelisk not up to par?"

Momonao: "?"

Ling tide: "??" (End of Chapter)
