The courtyard of Origin Academy lay quiet in the pre-dawn light, the calm before the storm. But for Zeryth Malakar, silence was never idle—it was a canvas. His mind raced with possibilities, each more audacious than the last. Lava, gravity, air, water, fire, ice, lightning, and shadow—all flowed within him, integrated, perfected, and ready.
Today, he would push beyond control. Today, he would create combinations that no S-Class student, teacher, or even Principal could anticipate.
He lifted a hand, and molten streams of lava pulsed from the earth beneath him. Flames roared along the flowing stone, yet Zeryth did not stop there. With a flick of his wrist, air currents accelerated the flow, shaping the lava into serpentine streams that danced like living dragons.
The lava no longer burned randomly; it struck with precision, slithered around obstacles, and could lift itself over barriers using air currents. It was a perfect hybrid of offense, mobility, and control.
Lava plus air… speed and heat combined. Deadly, but predictable to me alone.
Next, Zeryth drew power from the nearest fountain and the residual ambient electricity in the training grounds. Water swirled in a sphere around him, responding to his thoughts, while lightning sparked across its surface. The water carried the electric currents like veins, a conductive weapon of blinding speed and force.
He tested it, discharging a bolt that split mid-air into multiple arcs, striking targets at differing trajectories. Each strike carried the intensity of lightning and the reach of water's flow.
Water and lightning… adaptability and lethality in harmony.
Zeryth turned to earth and fire. Gravity pulsed from beneath his feet, subtly altering weight and pull. Fire erupted, dancing under the influence of gravitational currents. The flames compressed, stretched, and formed blades of concentrated heat that could slice through stone or crush steel beneath weight manipulation.
He imagined the battlefield as a single, living organism: fire blades bending around enemies, molten streams crushing armor, gravity wells pulling enemies off balance.
Even the S-Class would falter here. Even the Principal might hesitate.
Shadow and ice were subtler, more insidious. He drew darkness from the corners of the courtyard and cold from the fountains and shaded areas, weaving them together. Ice formed shards that hovered invisibly within the shadows, ready to strike from angles unanticipated.
When he released the hybrid, the courtyard became a storm of phantasmal frost. Invisible blades cut through air; the temperature plummeted in isolated pockets, freezing or slowing movements instantly. Every attack was both unseen and deadly, a perfect blend of stealth and control.
Shadow and ice… subtlety and lethality combined. Perfect for manipulation and ambush.

</p><p>[<Integration Status: Complete – All known elements and hybrid permutations active>]
</p><p>[<Environmental Mastery: Absolute>]
</p><p>[<Combat Potential: Infinite within integrated elements>]
</p><p>The System pulsed rapidly, struggling to categorize the scale of his abilities. Even with its omniversal processing, Zeryth had pushed beyond conventional classification. SS- Tier no longer contained him; he existed beyond tiers, a nexus of elemental mastery.
</p><p>He watched Malrik ignite his fire in a controlled burst, unaware that Zeryth had already integrated residual traces of his aura into a hybrid form. Isolde sent a water shield spiraling toward him, yet he allowed it, letting the water interact with his lightning-water sphere, creating steam explosions that never harmed him but tested potential integration limits.
</p><p>Even their combined efforts are now data points, fragments for observation, or material for future integration.
</p><p>To test fully, Zeryth created a controlled simulation: elemental constructs rose from the ground, lava pillars, water serpents, lightning wisps, air cyclones, ice blades, shadow phantoms, and gravity wells. Each moved independently yet obeyed his integrated guidance.
</p><p>He stepped into the middle, commanding them like a conductor. Lava serpents struck a target; gravity wells shifted the terrain; lightning-water arcs struck the edges; shadow-ice phantoms ambushed from above. The constructs did not tire, did not hesitate, and adapted instantly to his commands.
</p><p>Hybrid control… limitless. No battlefield can resist this orchestration.
</p><p>Zeryth considered the Academy's S-Class trials, the students, and the teachers. With hybrid elements, he could manipulate the environment, predict student and teacher movements, and force even the most talented to respond to him.
</p><p>He could create lava rivers that split pathways, gravity traps that redirected attacks, lightning-water maelstroms to neutralize coordinated strikes, and shadow-ice ambushes to immobilize targets. Every combination had a purpose, every element a role, every attack calculated for maximum effect.
</p><p>This is not just power. This is control, strategy, and inevitability combined.
</p><p>As the sun set, Zeryth's constructs dissolved seamlessly. Lava cooled into harmless stone, gravity currents returned to equilibrium, and shadows faded. Yet every trace of power remained within him, integrated fully.
</p><p>He observed the quiet Academy grounds: students training, teachers preparing lessons, and the Principal and Vice Principal patrolling. None noticed the subtle tremor of power that pulsed from Zeryth, nor the latent threat hidden in every hybrid elemental combination.
</p><p>The first step toward absolute control has been taken. Tomorrow… more combinations. More experiments. And soon, the Academy will be mine—not by force, but by inevitability.
</p><p>Zeryth Malakar, the background character turned sovereign of elements, stepped into the shadows, already planning his next move.

His future seemed radiant; he was set to marry his beloved Lily right after the election. But fate had a darker design. During a heated campaign rally, an assassin’s bullet cut his journey short. As the world faded into gray, his final, lingering thought was a question to the universe: “What is the reward for a life spent doing good?”\nWhen his eyes next flickered open, the sterile scent of death was gone, replaced by the damp, earthy fragrance of an ancient forest. He was in the body of a youth.\nSuddenly, a resonant, crystalline voice vibrated not in the air, but directly within his mind.\n“Master Rola.”\n“I am your System,” the voice replied with a melodic yet mechanical precision. “As a reward for your past deeds of virtue, Nature has granted you a second chance at life. To ensure your survival in this world, I have been bestowed upon you as your Unique Skill.”\nAyan gasped, his mind reeling. “A second chance? A reward?”\n“Correct,” the System continued. “I am the 'Skill Mimic.' With my assistance, you possess the ability to copy and master any skill you witness. I was sent to find you by the directive of the Great Master. You are no longer Ayan; you are Rola.”\nFinally he realised that, He had been reincarnated.
