Immediately Ryuk sighted the name of the skill, he already knew what it was all about.
Since he had become a Beast Sovereign, he had gained an aura that enhanced his beast’s strength by almost double and also struck fear into his opponent’s hearts.
It might just be the thing that would help him well, if used properly.
But from the discussion with the system, Ryuk could say he had gained something better than the class change, and that was resolve and a unique perspective.
Now that he had chosen the type of path he wanted to walk on, he could easily begin maximizing his training.
"I can create a schedule in my head and include Isha too," he thought.
"From 7 in the morning, I’ll go for class training. Running around and climbing a mountain won’t do much for Isha, who is a beast anyway, and I don’t think it’s even allowed, so I won’t allow Isha to join it."
"But once the test finishes at 2:00 in the afternoon, I’ll go to the training room. That is when I will release Isha. I’ll not only train myself but train Isha too."
"Today, we finished earlier due to the six hours, and I’ve sat here for close to 30 minutes now. The time should currently be 1:30."
"I’ll start walking to the training room, and then Isha and I will begin our training at 2:00."
"That is how I will maximize it," Ryuk thought as he turned a corner and began walking straight to the training hall.
With a clear goal and a unique perspective in his mind, it was time to start acting and keep growing.
"Ascension Academy, you just wait for me!" Ryuk thought as he jogged forward towards the training room.

19 Days Later...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A fearsome energy wave continuously bubbled out from a closed door, its noise loud enough to cause some of the geniuses to raise their eyebrows. Two students happened to pass by the door and couldn’t help but mutter.
"Most likely one of the Top 10 Ultimate Geniuses."
"Their powers are no doubt beyond this world," the second genius said as they scurried away.
Inside the training room...
VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
White humanoid robots of close to 30 in number flashed around the area with incredible speed, laser beams flashing through the area with even more speed, and rippling out destructive energy waves.
Their opponent? None other than a white-haired boy who weaved through them like a ghost.
Occasionally, his punches erupted forth with power, smashing the robots into absolute bits.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A powerful shockwave exploded right by Ryuk’s side as he dodged it by tilting his head. His fist shot forward with speed, tearing through the robot’s armoured body and extracting its core.
Instantly—BOOOOOOOOM!
A powerful beam of energy erupted from one of the robots, a laser beam shooting out from its chest where a glowing core could be seen implanted. Ryuk managed to avoid the beam of energy, and in the next instant, a smirk appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Is—"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Before he could finish his words, an ice crystal materialized out of thin air, emitting a terrifying amount of cold energy.
It reached about two meters in pure length before piercing forward at high speed, rotating like a drill.
The robot that had just fired its laser beam instantly had the rotating crystal embed itself into its chest.
Unluckily, five other robots standing behind it were also caught in its path, their cores nailed to the wall, instantly ending their functionality.
Around Ryuk’s left arm was none other than a python, which slowly closed its maw, oozing with ice energy, a dangerous blue light flashing in its eyes.
In the next instant, all the robots began closing in with speed, surrounding Ryuk from all sides, attempting to corner him.
Some floated into the air, laser beams blasting forth from their chest and piecing forth towards Ryuk and Isha.
Ryuk slowly raised his right hand, the arm where Isha was coiled, and then he smiled.
In the next moment, the runes on Ryuk’s arm began glowing, with Isha’s form embedded within the runes.
Suddenly, powerful cold energy emanated from both Isha and Ryuk, turning the world around them into a domain of ice and snow.
Mist spread from beneath Ryuk’s feet, blowing toward the robots and drastically slowing down all their movements, until the robots appeared to be taking only one step per second, and the beams in the air piercing towards Ryuk halted.
It was like time had stopped in the room!
In that same instant—
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
A powerful snake’s screech resounded through the frozen world. Rotating ice shrapnel began appearing all around Ryuk’s raised hand. They were about 20 of these pin-like shrapnel pieces.
Instantly, they began spinning with ferocious speed before shooting outward.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The scene transformed into utter chaos. The rotating shrapnel tore straight into the cores of the robots. In less than a minute, the room shifted into silence as every single robot collapsed to its knees, slamming hard into the frozen ground.
In less than 10 minutes, all 40 robots present in the room were crushed to pieces, their cores shattered, and their metallic parts scattered across the walls—a testament to the utter devastation wrought by Ryuk and Isha.

[Host has killed a total of 40 robots and gained a total of 2,000 EXP!]
[Total EXP: 3400/4000]
"Ahhhhh," a breath of cold air escaped Ryuk’s lips before he turned his attention to Isha, who slowly closed its maw and rubbed its head gently against his hand.
"Your accuracy and power have increased a lot, Isha. You’re the strong one."
Right now, Ryuk had reached an unprecedented fusion with Isha.
Before he could even say anything, Isha seems to be able to read his mind and adapt to his battle, and during these past few days, Ryuk had noticed a lot of things about Isha and himself.
For firstly, Ryuk could share his Mana with Isha and also share Isha’s Mana.
It was how he had turned the training room to a world of Ice and Snow.
By combining his Mana with Isha’s Mana, something Ryuk could make possible with Isha covering the Snake runes around his arm. Ryuk was successfully able to use the skill, Frost Veil, to slow down the robots and almost fully pause their beams of energy.
Isha also used the opportunity and timing to activate its own special skill, Frost Manipulation, to create Ice Shrapnel and borrowing a little more Mana from Ryuk increase their numbers and one shot all of the robots!
All of this was achieved without Ryuk even needing to complete a single sentence, and so fast it took just a few minutes to easily eradicate 40 Robots easily beyond the Plane of Origin!
