"You guys know looking at me wonât change anything right?" I couldnât help addressing the audience that was currently looking at me like Iâd grow a second head or something..
After getting up, Iâd made my way straight to the training grounds, wanting to start my task for the day, only for my training to be interrupted by the impromptu trio..
"You bastards kept me up all night!!!" Khalifa yelled, looking like roadkill..
"Ahh, I guess thatâs why you look like a homeless wanderer.."
"Dante! You motherfucking.."
"You guys couldnât have taken a moment to use the noise canceling runes?" Mira yawned as she rubbed her puffy eyes gently.
"Yea.. what were you even doing to get her to make such sounds." Kaila asked, of course it had to be her..
"Well, I donât mind showing you personally if you like.."
"Fufufu.. careful, I might just take you up on that offer.."
"Alright.. enough flirting you two, Dante, what are you doing?" Mira interrupted our little talk..
"Oh this? Iâm trying to see if I can begin comprehending another supreme law, Itâs urgent.."
.......
.....
...
The silence strentched until it finally became uncomfortable..
"What is it?"
"This bastard is messing with us right?" Khalifa cussed..
"I know youâre hot but at least donât say such wild things carelessly.." Kaila sighed, disappointed?
"Yea, of course, you donât need to tell us if you donât want to." Mira rolled her eyes, "do you think a
Supreme Law
is something you comprehend just becuase you want to? What are you? A
C-rank
warrior and youâre here talking about comprehending another..." her words cut off there, the other girls seemingly catching on to something as well..
"Wait... wait... wait a fucking minute!!!" Khalifa was already in my face before I could even blink..
"Did you just say,
comprehend ANOTHER!
Supreme law?
" She asked, her expression morphing into one of utter disbelief...
The other two just stared at me in disbelief..
"Yea, though itâs barely just an initial comprehension, but itâs pretty useful." I shrugged it off.
I could understand their surprise, but I had other important matters to tend to than to worry about their shock..
"Hold on a fucking minute.. since when did you comprehend a flipping
Supreme Law??"
Kaila, cusse, that was new..
"Wait, what did you girls think I was doing when you were busy feeding youâre eyes with my glorious form? Playing? I told you guys I was training."
"So you mean, youâve had a
Supreme Law,
for over 3 days now?" Mira asked.
"Yea."
"And youâve barely been a week in this academy, having only just learnt about laws?"
"Pretty much, yea."
"And now, you want to try comprehending another one?"
"Now youâre getting it."
"I canât tell if youâre messing with us or telling the truth, I wish Mel were here, I know for a fact you wouldnât lie to her." Mira still seemed unwilling to believe such a thing, and speaking about Melissa.
"Where did she even go?" I asked, curious.
"She got bored waiting around, so she took a mission sheâs been putting off for a while now." Mira answered, sitting down cross legged, her nightgown riding up her pale thighs..
Yes, they were all still in their nightgowns, theyâd just woken up afterall...
"Ahh, thatâs my girl, hardworking, unlike a couple of slackers I see before me." I snickered..
"Bastard! Who the hell are you calling a slacker?" Khalifa snapped..
"Hey, I didnât call any names, but if the shoes fit, then feel free to wear em.."
"I swear Iâm going to tear that mouth of yours apart." Khalifa was seething..
"Haa... you guys, weâre digressing from the topic here." Mira tried to steer the conversation back on track..
"Thereâs no topic to discuss though, I already have a rudimentary comprehension of a
Suprem Law,
and I need to comprehend another one soon if I donât want to be caught off guard." I said to the three, getting ready to begin..
"Caught off guard by what exactly?"
"I donât know yet, but I can feel it, better safe than sorry, now, if you beautiful ladies can please give me a moment." Saying that, I closed my eyes, shutting out the world, though not before hearing Mira sigh at the ridiculousness of my words..
I smiled as my mind finally delved into dissecting my newly gained skill,
<Zero Distance strike>
I didnât know if I was going to find what I was looking for within this skill, but if
<Chronostasis>
had given me what I thought it would, then even though it seemed far fetched, I was hoping Lady Luck was finally back from her vacation, because I needed that law to make headway in my plans...
Slowly, my mind turned blank as only the skill
<zero distance strike>
remained.
[Chaotic comprehension activating....]
I couldnât even see the notification that popped up, the systemâs chime sounding like something echoing from a distant memory...
Slowly, my breathing stilled.
This was it.
That feeling I had when I consciously tried to understand something.
Iâd experienced it earlier when I held the
<Nameless Halberd Arts>
also when I was trying to dissect
<Chronostasis>
so I was intimately familiar with the feeling of enlightenment...

[You gained insight into the [SUPREME] Law of...
[You gained insight into the [SUPREME] Law of...
[You gained insight into the [SUPREME] Law of...
[You gained insight into the [SUPREME] Law of.....
.......
Slowly but surely, my mind expanded as the workings of the supreme law rushed into my head..
Itâs fundamental functionality within the wider cosmos, and how I could use it to interface with reality itself..
.....
"Did he really... enter a state of enlightenment just like that?" Khalifa whispered, shocked.
"You guys.. you donât really think heâs about to comprehend a
supreme
law
do you?" Kaila asked, all her teasing and playful demeanor gone, what remained was a solemn expression on her face..
"I donât know, itâs hard believing that someone that has just been here a week, could comprehend something that even the monstrous instructors of the academy, the heads of ancient lineages, all these powerful figures, could only dream of." Mira sighed.
"But, he seemed genuinely sure about himself." Khalifa seemed to be the only person really entertaining the thought that Dante had done something that ridiculous..
"Come on khali, he might just be messing with us, you know how heâs always trying to tease." Kaila argued..
"Then explain this!" Khalifa pointed at the stationary figure..
"Explain how you enter enlightenment on a whim just so you can tease some women. Even that bastard wouldnât be that shameless."
"This.." both Mira and Kaila exchanged doubtful expressions.
They were really unconvinced.
Because if that were true.
If Dante had somehow succeeded in comprehending a supreme law, and is now attempting to comprehend another one right before them.
Then they wouldnât be worthy of the titles of geniuses that theyâd been given.
Hell, no one within the entire academy would be worthy of stepping up to him.
Just as the girls were about to speak , the world suddenly glitched.
Almost like reality was reacting to something that had happened and itâs only just now accepting it..
The girls froze in shock.
"Whatâs happening?".
They could feel the laws theyâd comprehended tremble in quiet acknowledgment..
"Im.. impossible!" Kaila was shook, her body turning robotically towards the source of the disruption..
Not just her, all three girls turned slowly, dread and disbelief painting their faces..
"How...?"
"It canât be.."
There, their eyes found a scene they would never forget.
Dante, seating calmly, a serene and enchanting smile on his face, but it wasnât the smile that caught their attention.
It was the surrounding area around him..
Multiple shadows of phantom weapons were striking continuously.
Each strike, hitting a single spot in space precisely, none missing a beat, causing fissures to appear and the void to blow out its chilly air constantly..
They didnât need a notification.
Theyâd never even seen someone comprehend a
supreme
law
before, but somehow they knew.
This wasnât in any way how things reacted when one comprehends a
major
law
.
It was almost as if the world, the universe itself was announcing the birth of another
Supreme,
and this time the girls could only stare in stunned disbelief..
"Did Dante just.... Comprehend a
Supreme law?"
........
The moment the understandings of the fundamental workings of the supreme law filled my mind, I could feel
Chaotic Comprehension
ramping up.
It had finally caught a tether, and it wasnât letting go..
BOOM!
A silent explosion went off in my head, as my consciousness winked out for a moment, my head feeling bloated, before the feeling vanished just as quickly as it appeared..
The process this time was significantly louder than when Iâd comprehended
Time,
but nevertheless...
[DIING!]
The resounding chime of the system, something that seemed to resonate with the universe, echoed through my subconscious,
Chaotic
Comprehension
finally proving to be the cheat Iâd always known it was as I had just comprehended a
Supreme Law
within a few hours.
A slow smile curled up my lips as I focused on the sweet notification that had just appeared before me.
