Chapter 488 What's Your Superpower?

?

At this point, all of the entities present started charging at the group. It's as if they were specifically tasked with overpowering the group the moment their third-party member arrived.

Well, that was their basic function since it gave Bruce and Lucy a small window of a breather before the real trial began. There was no way Magnus would indifferently challenge them without having complete control over the variables.

While the entities were there to give the Disciples a hard time, they won't necessarily kill a Disciple. They were just projections of Magnus, nothing more nothing less.

Nonetheless, they were physical projections, not just illusions, so their attacks, if they were to connect, could actually hurt a Disciple. Magnus assured them that none of the Disciples were going to die, but he didn't assure their complete safety.

Deep wounds, injuries, and torn limbs were just a small part of what they had to go through. Magnus wouldn't think twice about driving any of the Disciples to near death because that was what the test was all about.

Unbeknownst to all the Disciples present, the grueling test actually consisted of three parts, each  assigned on their own day. Right now, those that were assigned were just weaker enemies. On the second day, there would be a completely different batch of them and on the third day, Magnus planned on pulling all stops.

It was the best test for the Disciples' teamwork. And no, Magnus wasn't going to judge them based on their performance as a three-man team. There was something else in place of the test— a hidden requirement that wasn't known to any Disciples nor Managers.

"Now, let the games begin," Magnus smirked as he monitored every team using his perception skill.

Actually, the moment he teleported Satoshi into his team, he also traveled through the dimensions of the planet where the test was being held. He didn't bother calling the other Managers to monitor the test since they needed all the respite they needed, considering that the training camp would last for a couple of weeks.

He wasn't surprised that all the Disciples were handling the test outstandingly well. None of them were having a hard time dealing with multiple entities at once. That's why  Magnus had to raise the bar a little bit, offering the Disciples a bit more challenge since he completely underestimated their prowess.

Still, he didn't go too far with the readjustment of the test. After all, they still need to survive three more days before the test would officially come to an end. If he were to challenge them too much, none of them would be able to survive for the entire duration of the test.

"Sometimes, I can't really gauge these Disciples' powers pretty well. Either I end up overestimating or underestimating them. It was never balanced." Magnus said to himself.

After raising the difficulty level of the test, more entities started spawning at a much faster pace. Bruce and Lucy could barely keep up with the entities, and then the moment Satoshi arrived, they were overcome by the horde of entities that rushed at them.

"What is going on?" Bruce exhaled, madly swinging his axe as he entered a frenzy. The entities kept coming at him and no matter how many times he swung his axe, their numbers just kept increasing.

Then there was Satoshi, who was only using one of his familiars— Lighter. Honestly, he didn't act too much, he just kind of stood there in a calm manner while Lighter did all the heavy lifting.

While his teammates were having a hard time dealing with all the entities that plagued them, Satoshi loafed around, trying to figure out why they weren't using their superpowers in the first place.

"I'm sorry, did I miss something?" Satoshi asked out of nowhere, fully knowing that the two of them haven't unleashed their own potential.

"What do you mean?" Bruce grunted after pushing four entities away from him.

"Is everything all right?" Lucy asked, using her Golden Pen and elemental skills to keep all the entities attacking her at bay. She was doing a decent job at it. But at this rate, she was bound to get overpowered soon enough.

To be fair, Satoshi too was holding back against the entities but he eliminated them like a professional. Not a single entity approached him since Lighter continuously burned all of them.

"Yeah, it's just that, why are you making it hard on yourself?" Satoshi was genuinely curious as to why they were withholding their superpowers. He could sense that they were far stronger than what they showed.I think you should take a look at

Bruce and Lucy gulped. The reason why they didn't show any of their superpowers was that they didn't fully trust each other that's why they kept up the pretense that they were weak. Then again, it was clear that they were just pretending since Satoshi immediately caught wind of what they were doing without them explaining it.

"It's because we can't just show our superpowers to other Disciples.  Who knows, maybe they might use it to their advantage on the next tests." Bruce grunted.

As for Lucy, she nodded her head in agreement. She had the same reason so she didn't bother wasting her saliva on answering.

"But wouldn't they see your superpowers sooner than later? If they can take advantage of your superpower, then that just meant you're both weak." Satoshi shrugged.

Even though he wanted to help them out since he felt bad for them. He was aware of their antics so he didn't opt to help them out. They could handle themselves pretty well and they won't need his intervention to survive.

They might have a hard time, but it won't kill them.

There was a brief pause as Bruce and Lucy stared at each other as if they just saw a ghost. It didn't even occur to them that Satoshi made complete sense. They were going to witness each other's superpowers anyways, so why hide it now?

Lightning crackled in the sky as Lucy tapped into her superpower. Not only could she control all elements, but she could also manipulate lightning and ice. There was another reason why she wanted to hide her superpower— it was due to its destructiveness. She could already control all four elements, and adding to that, lightning and ice were on her palms as well. It was a ridiculous superpower.

As for Bruce, his power was actually nuclear. The reason why he couldn't use it was due to its radiation. Well, he has the ability to suppress radiation and control it as well so there won't be any harm done as long as he was conscious while he using his superpower.

However, his superpower was extremely dangerous so he don't use it whenever he pleased. In fact, he only uses his superpower as a last resort.

"So mine's nuclear, and Lucy's elemental... how about you, Satoshi, what's your superpower?" Bruce asked himself. Even now, they had no idea what Satoshi's superpower was.

At first, Bruce thought that he had some sort of a physical superpower since he saw him doing those crazy exercises in the gym this morning. But then, Bruce realized a split second later that Satoshi was actually doing those things with the power dampener activated.

At this point, the three of them did easy work on the entities and they had the leisure to talk to each other.  Bruce and Lucy's curiosity was piqued when they asked Satoshi the question. After all, he went to great lengths talking them into revealing their superpower so they could work as a team. He should also do the same, right?

Honestly, Satoshi still had no idea what his superpower specifically was. However, it did help him become the most powerful beast tamer on Earth.  Whatever his superpower was, it greatly affected his beast-taming capabilities.

"I'm a beast tamer." Satoshi simply said.

The silence that followed was too loud that Satoshi felt uneasy. It was clear that they didn't accept his answer. In response, Satoshi shrugged, wondering why they weren't satisfied with his response.

"Really? Anyone can become a beast tamer if they wanted to. Is that really your superpower?" Bruce asked, confused. Technically, what Satoshi mentioned didn't even come close to being called a superpower. It was merely a skill anyone can learn.

Satoshi had no idea how to explain his superpower into words so he decided to demonstrate it instead.  From afar, he saw one of the entities charging at him and he specifically commended his familiar, Lighter, to not get rid of that entity.

Once it was a couple of feet closer, Satoshi finally activated his superpower in front of them. A hazy blue flame appeared in his hand and it steadily grew bigger. Once the entity was within arm's reach, Satoshi didn't think twice about firing that blue flame onto it.

Fwooosh~! The entity vanished in an instant, causing Bruce and Lucy to wonder what would happen next.
