Rhys felt his heart sting slightly when he saw that one of the guys on the other team had Gamp's power. He shook that feeling off though and glanced at the others.

"Possession..." Rhys had read the scripts of the brain wave interrupting ability, but why had the system put the word 'possession' in front of it.

['Oh, and here I was beginning to think that humans had not encroached upon the spiritual revolution at all...']

'Huh, what do you mean Spiritual revolution? And why is the brainwave skill being called 'possession?' Rhys frowned in confusion.

The teacher sighed one of his classic pained sighs before explaining. ['Every intelligent race in existence goes through cultural or societal evolutions. I can see from your memories that humans started out wearing animals skins and fashioning tools from rocks, you would call that the stone age. Humanity than evolved to greater things, like the iron age. From there you utilised science and practised industrialisation. When humans were on the brink of extinction at the hands of the Xerserth, you arrived at the Gem and Core stage of your civilisation, where you are now. Have you never wondered what the next stage is?']

Rhys faltered for a moment. He had not even been thinking of a next stage, he had pretty much assumed that this was it in terms of humanity evolving, he thought all that was left was finding better gems and cores in order to secure Earth from alien interference.

['Ghosts are the higher race because they are the only lifeform to have fully integrated into the next stage of civilisation. That is what you are becoming Rhys.']

Rhys stood still for a moment, really unsure of what to say or think. It was just too much information to process before he was supposed to have a match.

['To make a long story short, that human over there has an ability that is spiritually based. It is an extremely pathetic version of an ability that you will inherit, but still, it is pleasant to see a familiar ability.']

'I will be able to use the brain wave interruption ability one day?'

['No. You will be able to use the much stronger possession ability. This brain-wave malarkey is truly pitiable, I doubt that it will even work on you.']

Before Rhys could demand more answers from the system, Sampson, Joel and Nim surrounded him.

"Spill it, Rhys," Sampson demanded sharply.

"Huh? Spill what?"

"Ah Geez." He growled. "Just tell us what their abilities are."

Rhys stiffened at Sampson's demand and tried to keep a neutral expression. "What are you talking about? How would I know what their abilities..."

Before Rhys could finish, Sampson growled so loudly that the other people inside other pits turned around to see what the strange sound was about.
