Daniel walked away from the crowd. He kept his head up, but he did not look at anyone. The whispers followed him like a swarm of bees, but he ignored them because he had something more important to do.
His right hand was still tingling. The S-Grade Skill Crystal he had crushed earlier had left a burning sensation under his skin. It wasn't pain per se, it was power.
"Stellar Superman Strike," Daniel whispered to himself. The name sounded simple, but the description was terrifying.
Daniel needed to know its true power, so he headed straight for the training sector of Platform Alpha.
The training sector was a long hallway lined with heavy metal doors. Each door led to a high-level simulator pod. These pods were special rooms that could create virtual monsters for aspirants to fight.
They were built to take a lot of punishment.
Daniel found an empty pod at the end of the hall. It was Pod 7. The light above the door was green, meaning it was free.
