Kai eyes continued on the system as he stared fixedly at it as if it was going to vanish if he couldn't read it in time. The words on the system screen shone unto his face casting a soft blue light unto it, which it seemed couldn't be seen by any other. As he stared at it without blinking, suddenly he heard a voice.
"H-hey, hey hey hey, Kai…can you see this?" Anthony gulping siliva down his throat asked, his eyes turning slowly towards Kai. Kai stared at him in acknowledgement as he nodded at the question.
Anthony gasped as if shocked by his answer. What the hell was happening? What was this floating panel.
These words and sentence weren't just only present in Anthony's mind or the likes of him but rather in everyone in the classroom, probably the whole earth.
What was this floating panel? Where did it come from?
Suddenly the voice of a student, happy and giddy in its tone traveled through their ear always, breaking their thoughts.
"Woohoo!"
"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it was one day going to happen.. I freaking new it!!" Mark a slightly lean student shouted as he stood up from his sit, fist clenched. As soon as he said that, everyone turned towards the boy including Kai.
The name of the boy was mark. A 17 year old student in Kai's class same in age as him but of course different in school abilities than him. He was a anime loving power obsessed guy who most of the time spent it watching anime and reading books except of course the times when he was bullied or coerced into buying or helping Liam and fin get something.
His eyes seemed to glow with brightness and happiness as he smiled happily, fist clenched fully as he punched at the air in celebration.
Kai removed his gaze from him seeing It was nothing and brought it back unto his own panel. He needed to understand his situation.
The panels words and details washed over him as he read each and every description.

————
Mana? Magic?
Is this real? Is this some kind of joke..
No scratch that, he had seen himself suddenly in an empty space and an eye the size of a city had focused cleanly on him and a floating system was hovering close to him, such a thing wasn't something to be surprised about.
He removed his mind from the thought
System template creation? What's that?
Kai staring at the wordings of the system asking himself. He had no knowledge of it nor any insight into it. He then instantly asked the system saying In his mind the word "ability description"
He had read novels sometimes so such a thing wasn't something major or suprising to say.
As soon as he said that, the wordings of the system instantly changed revealing to him the response from it:
[Ability description cannot be found! System cool-down is in place, host will be able to offer insight on the ability upon the collage of the ability]
Kai read it and expressed a slight frown. An ability yet he could not read it… His grown deepened…Then he took a calm breath.
No he couldn't dwell on it. Kai instantly asked to return back to the system panel information and it did just that.
Now Kai eyes faced the second ability there.
Z class: Partial shapeshift
He began reading the details available on it, eyes scanning the words and letters and as soon as he read it a gasp landed out of his mouth.
Anthony looked at him, but Kai almost instinctual instantly straightened his face.
It kind of seemed like muscle memory
Ability to partially transform into any creature previous seen! Damn what a powerful ability, it's insane.
The power and potential of such an ability was shocking and was enough to rouse Kai, who was known for being calm. His eyes read through it again, making sure he didn't mistake or read it wrong but after a few seconds of steady and concentrated reading he realized he had not read anything wrong.
Insane.. powerful! Incredibly powerful!
The sheer absurdity of such a power…
Calm down Kai, calm down
Kai now calmly steadies his breathing not wanting it to die of over excitement, he then brought his gaze down and it landed once again on the "z class" at the front of the ability.
Is this a reference to the tier of the ability?… no what else could it be, it has to be this, but the word z..where have I seen this before.
Kai scrambled to think, his mind rushing through possible answers but after a few seconds he stopped .He could not find anything. if Z was the tier of this ability then was this the highest? Because it seemed his ability was insanely powerful.
Kai turned to look at Anthony who was in turn ingrained into his own system panel and he asked calmly in a cool tone "Hey what tier is your ability"
Anthony looked back at him and smiled faintly before saying back eagerly "Freaking S class!"
Kai raised his mouth slightly in suprise and smiled at him seemingly happy for Anthony but before he could go back to his thoughts Anthony asked his own question
"What class is yours?"
Kai expression remained neutral and he considered his options and replies quickly and carefully.
He instantly replied with "Class S"
Anthony face brightened up even more as he nodged at Kai with his elbow, a wild smile on his face saying "Guess we have the same ability class uh, Yes!, I was worried you would get a low class ability but it seems I am wrong. Huff! I'm quite happy you have a high class ability. S class in games usually mean high class and my ability doesn't seem to be of any joke so it should perfectly fit the class tier.' He paused for a minute then 'Uh-uh, what's your ability, mine is Absorption!"
Absorption?
"Mines partial shift. I can change only one part of my body into any creature I have seen before, but it seems to greatly consume mana and it also seems to have a huge cooldown rate" Kai replied calmly, a smile tugging at his lips.
"Damn that's powerful, but a cool-down rate huh? That's quite bad, mine doesn't have that but I do have a mana stat, I wonder when did we ever get mama…' Anthony stopped for some seconds seemingly in thought before he continued asking a question "could I perhaps see your panel?"
"We can do that?" Kai asked seemingly intrigued
"I don't know but we should ask right?"
Kai face twitched slightly but he said nothing.
Anthony then faced at thin air and seemed to murmur some words but after some moments answered calmly, "it seems we are unable to do so"
Kai nodded, not suprising him. Seeing each others panels it wasnt bad at all, but he didn't like it, it could put him in a tight spot one day and he did not like it at all, not even one bit.
Calmly Kai rose from his seat, the teacher now changing her gaze and settling them in him, but then suddenly they heard a rumble..
Rumble Rumble!
The ground and chairs began to shake as a quite medium rumble perhaps earthquake hit them causing some students to stagger. The metal chairs groaned as they rocked to both sides slightly, each person shaking both on their feet and off their feet until suddenly the rumble began to slowly dismiss.
Then suddenly they heard it.
Kai and the other students quickly turned their heads and eyes toward the school gate, and what met them was something unimaginable!
