Whiteocean: The Limitless Testament

Chapter 5: Towards Japan

Stage 7, It was the highest level in the Stage system. They are the ones who are said to be able to effectively have the ability against a single Country, destroy a large island, and fight against over 100 special ability users.

Most of the people who use the Stage system are Espers, although there are some Magicians who use it as well.

They are all in the calculation and research of the Stage Research Community, or better known as SRC. They were an organization that oversaw the research into the ins and outs of human Special Abilities, they also invented the Stage system that measured one's skills, strengths, and control over one's abilities.

Currently, SRC has 3 main laboratories, namely in Tokyo, Japan. Florida, United States. And in Munich, Germany.

In this world, there were only 8 people capable of reaching Stage 7. Even so, there might still be many Magicians out there that can be paired with Esper Stage 7, such as the Magic King and his confidants.

Normally the Stage 7 abilities are quite balanced. However, there were 2 people out of the 8, who were said to be able to fight the entire World Military alone.

They are evidence of the horrors of mankind.

And now, right here... Two people who said that he was a member of SRC admitted that I had Stage 7 potential.

Do you want to know if I'm surprised? Of course, I was very surprised.

Growing up as a human of the Unknown class who did not know what Special abilities were. And now, I'm called a potential Stage 7.

Even if the potential means uncertain. Still, this is very surprising, only people from Stage 5 or 6 are mostly said to be potential.

And I'm just an Unknown class. Even so, I should be able to handle the situation calmly.

“Sorry, can you repeat your previous words..!?”

I said to make sure of it again.

“We can see the potential for Stage 7 on you!”

Mr. Tri repeated his words.

I raised my hand. And pointed it at the two of them as if telling them to stop. While my other hand was twitching the temple.

“Wait a minute! Let me get my brain to digest this first!”

“Ahh, of course! This must be a very confusing situation for you, right.!?”

Uh..? his reaction was not what I imagined.

“But, this is still just the opinion of this colleague of mine.”

Mr. Ari continued his words while pointing towards Mr. Tri.

“... This can be wrong, but it can also be true!”

“If you can know... is there a particular reason, why do you think of me as a potential Stage 7??”

My toot.

“Sure, only! If you want to be clear, Mr. Tri please tell him.”.

“I..?”

He said pointing to himself.

“Of course, instead of this is your argument!”

“All right, I'll explain! As I asked before, you replied that the attack was in a different world than the rest of us. From there I decided that you could potentially be Stage 7, no. I'm pretty sure you're really Stage 7!”

I just cheered him.

“You know, this ability of yours has to do with space!"

"The room?!"

"Yes, there are indeed some Espers or Magicians who also use the concept of space, such as teleporters, even the current Magic King, his type of magic is related to space.”.

“... However, for your case this is a little different. Those I mentioned just now are just using the concept of space.May as well influence that space! Whereas you directly affected the space on a large scale!”

"Me, affecting space on a large scale?”

“Ya.. For example that attack! In my opinion, actually the attack had an infinite delay, where your ability could make you expand the space around your body to almost unlimited stages! Therefore, Kira's attack is impossible to get to you.”

“So so..”

Then, I understood more about the dream I had just seen. Nothingness and Infinity, huh. Empty Space, Void Dimension.

“Yaa, back again it was just my argument to call you a potential Stage 7, we can know the results after doing Test”

“So, I see... Then when will we do it?”

The two of them stared at each other at my words just now.

“Sorry, for now, our country is not enough to do Test Stage 7! Our target is Stage 6..”

“So, where..?”.

Mr. Ari smiled hearing this.

“Of course, we will go to one of the main Laboratories of SRC, in Tokyo, Japan!”

I was surprised to hear that.

“We will go to Japan....!?”

Mr. Ari smiled because of that.

“Of course, yes..”

...----------------...

Now it is already 2 days after the incident at the reception of the new disciple, now it has entered the lesson as usual. During this time, various rumors and gossip circulated. Even one of the rumors that circulated said that I was on stage 7.

This should only be known after the official announcement. Because if not, then the excitement can happen.

Not only in this area, maybe even the whole world can be excited. With the arrival of the new Stage 7, of course it can happen.

Stage 7 has the possibility of being hostile to the whole world which is quite high. And of course, this will be troublesome for me personally.

At times like this, I can only snuggle in class.

A few moments later, I felt a cold object in my head. I lifted my head and saw who he was.

“Yaa..!”

He is Rei, the person I am most sorry about right now.

I put my head back on the desk.

“Didn't I tell you, I'm still pissed at you.!”.

“That's it, then let it pass! Here, I give it to you!”

He thrust a can of cold soft drink at me, and of course it was because of me that was still angry at this fool that he just accepted it, gladly.

Open this canned drink and drink it. Then I stared at the blue sky, coincidentally I was sitting in a corner seat close to the window.

“Omong-by the way, you're going to Japan right? Mr. Ari who told me..”.

I slightly turned my eyes towards Rei.

“That's how, we'll leave in a week, maybe more..”.

I responded.

He just looked at me with a slightly surprised look.

“Over time, yes..”

“Ya, that's it.. You know for yourself right, contacting the main laboratory is not an easy matter, quite a long time needed!!”

He simply responded by nodding and then saying.

He said it by putting on an expression that looked innocent. Even I myself feel angry about it.

I could only look at him with a sharp look.

"Eh, what the fuck is your look, eh? Painful tofu!”

I just sizzle slowly.

“No, not nothing..”

The momentary silent atmosphere. Uncomfortable with the situation, Rei said…

“So, do you have any plans after getting there.?”

I just responded by shaking my head and saying.

“Nothing special..”.

All of a sudden, Rei stood up from his seat and immediately kicked down the table a little, he looked at me with a serious look.

A lot of my stuff on the table fell off. And of course, he was the center of attention in this class.

Some female students, started talking about us.

I felt uneasy about this atmosphere, starting to ask Rei in a slight whisper.

“What's up.?”

He finally regained his senses and began to sit back down.

“Ah, sorry... I was just a little surprised!”

He said while drinking his drink again. I looked at him somewhat inquiring.

“What does that mean.?”.

He just glanced a little at me.

He put his drink on the table back and sighed.

“Oh, Saidhan my friend..!”.

Rei said that with his hand that had already touched my shoulder.

“Even if you go there just to do a Test, but still! You went to Japan! The Otaku's dreamland! At least there may be free time all day after having done the Test.”.

I was silent because of this.

Ahhh, right also yes.., why did I not think of this?

Rei looked at me with that annoying smile of his.

“Hehehe, right, right?”

He slightly elbowed my chest many times. Because of the annoyance, I just kept him away by pushing his head.

"So where are you going.?”

“Entahlah... You think I'd better go where?”.

I asked this, just to provoke him, and sure enough, from his eyes it looked as if he was giving off light.

And after that he started raving about everything interesting about Japan. Well, he's an acute otaku…

And of course, we're back in the limelight. No, it was rather Rei who was the center of attention now.

Everyone was very surprised to see the true nature of a Reinhard. It turns out he was an acute otaku.

Hahaha, I told you, don't expect too much from this guy…

...----------------...

Now is the time to go to one of the 3 main laboratories owned by SRC, which is in Tokyo, Japan

And right now, I'm on the plane right now.

With a Headphone on the head, a cup of coffee to accompany reading a magazine on the edge of the chair. It's really comfortable, it feels really comfortable, it's very comfortable…

And suddenly, a grown man came and sat down beside me. He's Mr. Ari.

“How? Are you ready?”

I took a breath and smiled.

“Of course..”.

Of course I was very prepared, after yesterday hearing Rei's long chatter, I became a little interested.

I searched a little on the internet and immediately found things very interesting. Because of this, I immediately forgot the main purpose of this trip, which is to do the Test Stage with full technology provided there.

Because in the lure of the holidays, I have completely forgotten about it.

Really, too…

Yak, ignore all that. Everyone will also have the same thoughts if he wants to go abroad. Yeah, right?

Of course, that applies to me too.

I looked to the side, and Mr. Ari was asleep now.

“…”

It's fast sleeping this guy…

Maa, let it go, maybe he's tired of working. From what I've heard, it was Mr. Ari who kept trying to contact the main laboratory.

And I heard, too, he went straight there to ask permission and prepare the necessary for the Test Stage. And then he came back to Indonesia to pick me up.

Huhuhuhu, Mr. Ari, you really moved me. I really understand how you struggle. Take it easy, I am not like that fool who was not present after the struggle you did.

After that I realized one thing…

“Where is Mr Tri?”

I slightly looked towards the seat beside Mr. Ari, and the place was filled by someone else.

“Didn't he come, huh?”

And suddenly, a buu hit my head slowly from behind.

“I'm here!”

I looked in the back seat and it turned out, Mr. Tri was there.

“Eh, Mr Tri...!?”

He just went back to reading the magazine he used to hit me on the head.

“Let's relax, I'll come too! There's no way I'd miss a rare opportunity like this.”.

Uh, what's that rare opportunity?

“But, why don't you sit here?”

“Nothing, just me uncomfortable near Ari..”

He responded with a little bit of gusto.

Moments later, the flight crew informed them the plane was about to take off. I sat right back down and took a little breath.

“Let's go..”
