Looking over at his title tab, a brand-new addition had been made, and now something was labeled as a passive title.

[Passive Title] ⓘ

[The Passive Title is similar to the Active Titles such that they provide a certain boost or power to the user; however, unlike active titles which need to be activated manually, passive titles can be activated automatically without requiring any input from the user as long as the conditions for its activation are all met]

[The user can only keep a single title active at any given time and now the user has the choice between whether the selected active or selected passive title would be in effect]

Another great addition to his evergrowing arsenal of tactics that Mako could use in his battles.

Impressed with the quality of passive skills being able to be activated automatically, Mako was curious as to what buffs INNER HARMONY would provide and whether they would be good enough for Mako to switch it out for PERSEVERANCE that gave him access to Rage Mode; something that had helped him in intense situations time and time again.

[INNER HARMONY] (Level 1)ⓘ

[Through relentless introspection and self-discovery, the user understood a sliver of what it means to have a great responsibility and has earned the passive title of INNER HARMONY.

This title awakens automatically in moments when the user is critically injured and has less than 15% of their total HP and is at a serious risk of losing their life.

INNER HARMONY activates and immediately unleashes its first skill called "INNER HARMONY CASCADE".

INNER HARMONY CASCADE: Activated the moment INNER HARMONY is triggered, this title releases a massive verdant green pulse of energy that pushes every single living thing back 30 meters. The pulse of energy remains on the battlefield like a dome for the next 5 minutes. The dome created by the energy pulse now acts as a healing field for the user as the user will be granted the Regeneration buff as long as they remain within the boundary of the dome.

Note: Anyone who tries to enter the dome in order to reach the user will be inflicted with the Leach status effect.

LEACH STATUS EFFECT: Any person who attempts to enter the dome of Inner Harmony Cascade will be inflicted with the Leach status effect making the person feel drained as the dome will begin to siphon mana from their bodies and convert it into "Harmonium Energy" before storing it in the dome itself.

Once the time period for the Inner Harmony Cascade has elapsed, the green dome of energy will retract back into the user, condensing all, if any Harmonium Energy that was stored inside the dome into the body of the user and granting the user the option of whether to activate the second skill of INNER HARMONY called "ASCENDED HARMONY".

ASCENDED HARMONY: Upon deactivation of the Inner Harmony Cascade, the accumulated Harmonium Energy will enter the user's body, instantly energizing their whole body and presenting them with the prompt of whether they would like to enter "Ascended Harmony Mode".

ASCENDED HARMONY MODE: The user's body goes through a fundamental change as their whole skin starts to glow the same verdant green color. While Ascended Harmony Mode is active, the user receives an Omni Boost of 50%.

Note: The duration of the Ascendend Harmony Mode depends on the amount of Harmonium energy the dome was able to siphon and store and if the user decides to not activate Ascended Harmony Mode, the system will compensate the energy for additional EXP and rewards.

After Ascended Harmony concludes, The user's stats return to normal; however, the user is now marked by "PERIL DEBT".

PERIL DEBT: The activation of Inner Harmony comes with a heavy cost given the amount of support it provides the user for absolutely nothing. Moving onward, every time the user recieves a reward from the system be it EXP, coins, or attribute points, 20% of it will be removed and offered as debt payment for PERIL DEBT until it is completely paid off.

The PERIL DEBT for the activation of Level 1 INNER HARMONY is set at 25,000 Harmony Points.

Conversion Rates:

(20) EXP ---> (1) Harmony Point

(1) Bronze Coin ---> (25) Harmony Points

(1) Attribute point ---> (125) Harmony Points

NOTE: INNER HARMONY can only be activated again once the PERIL DEBT has been paid off. In the meantime, the user does have the ability to switch out INNER HARMONY as the active title for another title while it remains inactive.

Upgrade Conditions: In extreme moments, when the user aligns themself further with their true purpose or makes a great achievement that creates progress towards that true purpose, Inner Harmony will evolve further and display its true power and potential.]

*******************

As Mako stood still on the battlefield, reading through the very long and detailed description of his brand new title, the rest of the cadets who had followed him and the brown-haired girl were just about finished dealing with the robots that were chasing after the duo of students.

The duo students themselves were quite frightened from the whole experience as they were both very low ranked in the advanced class and didn't have much strength outside of their ability usage which is why they felt so weak when facing the robots and hence decided to just run although that plans also backfired.

Andrew turned back toward Mako, only to find him standing in the same position that he left him in when he saved him from the giant robot, and that he was just staring blankly into space as if he was disconnected from reality.

Mako was so shocked by his recent self-enlightenment and receiving the brand new title that he was completely absorbed in trying to understand the sheer overpowered and groundbreaking skills that came with the title.

This was Mako's first overpowered defensive/supportive skill. Up until this point, Mako had a pretty strong offensive build with several very strong skills and abilities combined with all of his attributes, but he always did lack on the defensive side as he would usually always get a strong beating if he were to fight against an evenly matched opponent.

He had worked on increasing his fortitude by incorporating the Earth's ability a lot more into his fighting style as it was mainly a defensive ability whose aura boosted fortitude.

The only thing that Mako didn't have was a good healing/

recovery skill that would help him get back into the fights quicker and better, but the only thing that he was ever able to receive from the system regarding this was the stupid Recover Skill that was so bad that he ended up selling the skill back to the system.

Although this title wasn't the perfect solution to Mako's problem as it was only going to activate in extremely dire situations where his life was on the brink of death and it also came with a pretty strong setback that being the debt that he would have to pay for using it, but it did provide a cushion for Mako as now in those dire situations he wouldn't have to only rely on his healing pills to make it through alive.

Mako was just about to finish reading through everything when all of a sudden a strong tug pulled him back to reality.

It was the girl from the duo who was running away from the robots. She was still shaken up from the sudden experience as she had not expected her very first day to be this hard and cruel from the get-go.

Her arms were trembling in fear as she firmly wrapped them around Mako's arm with tears falling down her face, sobbing as she continued to sing praises and thank Mako for saving her from the robots.

*******************

Although Mako tried his best to hide it, Mako's face had turned completely red with him not knowing what to do in this situation at all.

Mako was always the kid who was always looked down upon and bullied, he never really got the chance to interact or get close to any girls, much less form a relationship with one so let's just say he was quite inexperienced when it came to matters like this.

Fortunately, Andrew was quick to notice Mako's sudden change in color and instantly realized the situation that he was in, after all, he had been in that same situation with Erin when he tried to get close to her and try and ask her out.

Andrew quickly approached Mako, and calmly pulled the girl off of him, trying his best to calm her down while simultaneously winking at Mako.

Mako breathed a sigh of relief as his heartbeat finally started to slow down or else it would have completely exploded.

He nodded to Andrew as a way of thanking him for saving him from embarrassing himself in front of everyone and quickly turned away from the crowd of cadets that were closely approaching, trying to quickly compose himself.

The group had successfully defeated the robots and was going to regroup before heading out and trying to save more cadets when all of a sudden...

*BUZZ!* *BUZZ!* *BUZZ!*

All the spotlights in the ceiling of the training hall had been turned on, instantly illuminating the room back to being bright white. All the remaining robots were powered down and they stopped chasing the cadets.

The cadets were caught off guard by the sudden change in atmosphere but quickly realized that the trail was over.

Soon Mako's group could hear the echo of strong clicky footsteps approaching them from behind. They all quickly turned around towards the source of the footsteps to find a tall and thin yet muscular man walking towards them.

His tall and lean frame moved with effortless grace, each step resonating with confidence and skill.

He had beautiful silver-coloured flowing hair that was held up by a headband that was wrapped around his forehead which held the hair straight up.

He had powerful energy terminating from his body as he confidently approached the group, one step at a time.

This was the teacher for the Power Weapons Class!
