"The only few things I need to do right now to find a little bit of freedom within the academy are, first, to get rid of Quinn\'s threat. Once even Quinn is no longer after me, others would surely learn not to bother me."

"Then, I would need to get new clothes to be able to go to class tomorrow." Nolan mused as his current only outfit was stained with blood, and the clothes he found in the wardrobe in this new house of his didn\'t belong to him.

He wasn\'t too comfortable wearing others\' clothes, and he had planned to empty the wardrobe of those clothes once he got his new ones.

"But before facing Quinn, I need to understand my own strength first, and his as well."

"Right now, he is also at the Heavenly Disciple stage, just like me, and he controls four abilities to perfection."

"He can use his Divine Essence, and I can only rely on my physical body."

"He holds a great advantage in that, and also when I fight him, he won\'t be alone but with his goons, which means it will never be a fair fight but more of one versus a couple dozen..." Nolan analyzed with furrowed eyebrows.

Right now, it seemed like he was still at a disadvantage, but Nolan knew this wasn\'t the current limit to his power.

"Activate System Interface."

Nolan ordered, and instantly the tab blinked, and quickly, he chose one of them:

[Descent Skills]

1. Lost Dagger of Kratos

Description: The ability to sever through anything possessing Divine Essence.

Pantheon: Kratos.

2. Chains of Chaos

Description: Grants the user the ability to summon the fiery chains of the god Kratos that can bind the enemy. The chains\' strongest point lies in their ability to drain the life force and energy of anything they ensnare, weakening them while passing energy to the user, therefore increasing their power.

Pantheon: Kratos.

3. Crown of Kratos

Description: This ability summons the crown of Kratos, which allows the user to channel the energy of every god that Kratos has ever slain.

Pantheon: Trimurti.

Looking at the new abilities, Nolan was more than surprised. He had gained a new ability, just as Instructor Tiamat said, whenever one enters a new level of cultivation.

Now, Nolan also possessed two normal abilities like the average Descendant, but he also had an extra ability due to his descent from Trimurti, and therefore he was given the ability of the Crown of Kratos.

"The Chains of Kratos, I can easily understand its ability, judging from its name. But the crown? What does it mean by the ability to channel the essence of gods slain by Kratos?"

Nolan wondered, and the system promptly gave a reply.

[During Kratos\'s time, he had slain many gods.]

[Wearing the crown of Kratos means being able to use the power of those gods that Kratos had slain.]

[But, right now, you have no control over the crown and therefore you simply obtain a random power from one of the gods that Kratos had slain, and you can\'t use all the slain gods\' power at a single time.]

[I\'m guessing this will change as your comprehension increases, but for now, that\'s as far as you go with the ability...]

"So, that would mean being able to use the ability of another god. More like possessing the power of another Descendant?" Nolan asked.

[Yes, you would be able to channel their power, meaning also that you gain their abilities... temporarily and randomly... for now.]

The system further explained, and Nolan himself was already satisfied with that.

"It is clear my power too has massively increased. At least, taking care of Quinn and his goons shouldn\'t be much of a problem. Now I need to get a new pair of clothes and also fix the glass, or I won\'t be able to go to class tomorrow..." Nolan thought to himself.

Without clothes, he couldn\'t go to class, so that was what he needed to do right now, this night.

And therefore, Nolan rose up and walked to his door, while grabbing Ayu\'s wallet and dipping it into his pocket. Then, he moved out, not bothering to hide himself within the hoodie.

He wanted to walk boldly around and stop living under the influence of others.

He wanted himself to be respected just as anyone, and bow to no one or demonstrate he was afraid of them at all.

And contrary to what Nolan expected, he was able to walk all the way from his Greek Descendant building and straight to the store, where he hired academy staff who helped him fix his glass for a nice fee.

He even got himself a few trousers and a shirt that were perfectly his size, and as good as new, without anyone ridiculing or laughing at him at all.

It brought quite the sense of peace and accomplishment to Nolan, but it also puzzled him.

The only reason why no one looked at him in disdain anymore was most likely because the news of what he had done before got passed around.

But how was that possible if he had just done it a few minutes ago?

How can any piece of news spread so fast through the entire academy? It was nothing but surprising, but Nolan appreciated it.

At least, he would stop getting the disdaining gaze all the time and be able to walk around without having his head suddenly tapped by bullies.

Less than an hour later, he was back in his dorm room, and he replaced the wardrobe with his new pairs of clothes.

The clothes he wore to the class before were all shabby and old, and were what the previous Nolan had taken from other students dust bin, since he couldn\'t get his hands on money to buy one.

But now, he had his dorm room back, his respect back, and his new campus pairs of clothes.

Right now, it seemed the heavens were finally favoring him, and so, Nolan went to sleep that night on his comfy bed, a big and beautiful smile on his face.
