God's Eyes

Old Drake forgot that Jason asked an impolite question and went closer towards him, causing the youths to feel uncomfortable.

Noticing this, Till obstructed Old Drake´s way, gently reminding him, where they currently were.

"This place is not the best for us to talk about something private like traits, right? It would be the best if we go to a more secluded place, like my office."

Hearing that, Old Drake woke up from his stupor approach, as he noticed the situation they were in.

It was as if he was an old pervert, causing him to feel ashamed when he nodded his head as a sign of agreement.

Till notified other teachers that he had something important to do in order to replace him at the current special combat class, before the three youths, Till, Old Drake, and Artemis went into Till's office inside the school building.

Sitting down on the couch, Jason felt comfortable, even though Old Drake and Max stared at him like he was their prey, but he didn't really mind that.

Artemis landed on his shoulder, where she barely fitted on, as she returned his opponent's gaze with her blue shining eyes.

It was only known that the Old Drake and Max really noticed Artemis' existence, which astonished them, as they didn't know what type of beast she was.

Max knew many beasts, but his experience within temporary, permanent rifts and other mainlands was shallow but that wasn't the case for Old Drake who lived for more than 200 years and experienced more wonderful landscapes and hazardous battlefields than most humans could wish for.

Pondering deeply, Old Drake couldn´t remember a remotely close race to Artemis, as her eyes and pitch-black horns were distinct features he had never seen.

If it were only her white plumage in addition to blue almost aquamarine eyes, Old Drake could name a few races, but adding pitch-black horns, caused his knowledge to be entirely useless.

Figuring out, that Jason not only had special eyes but also an unknown owl species as his soulbond, Max assured himself, that Jason was definitely from an ancient clan, while Old Drake thought that Shane might have caught it because he hadn't seen Artemis before and didn't know about her mutation.

Jason knew that he couldn´t hide his eyes forever and fortunately, it was impossible to steal his special trait by transplanting his eyes, as it was a matter of the genetic model that unlocked special traits and supplemented them with energy.

As such, transplanting his eyes was only possible if the opposite individual had an infinite close genetic model and the exact same mana fluctuations.

Jason only knew this because humanity experimented with things like that, at least that was what Shane and Dalia told him, which he found extremely disgusting and frustrating.

Thankfully, transplanting was impossible, otherwise, he would have to be afraid of everyone with a minuscule amount of power.

Each and every special trait holder would be scared to lose their life in order to supplement others with special traits and one could say that luck was on the special trait holder's side with the stated requirement.

In the end, this meant Jason could reveal his eyes just like that, as they couldn´t be exploited like Dalia´s special physique.

The only thing Jason would keep hidden partially was his ability to figure out how high a beast´s potential was, even though he already told the Fler´s his secret to a certain extent.

After everyone sat down, the room was awkwardly silent, waiting for someone to start, while Till and Seron sat there in order to alleviate their curiosity.

Because they were within the room, Old Drake and Max were slightly uncomfortable with any revelation but Jason began to talk, without minding anyone listening.

"As everyone here might know, I have a special trait and it's similar to mana eyes, that allows me to perceive the mana flow in the surrounding.

In addition to that, I have an additional feature that allows my eyes to inflict a certain degree of fear within everyone below my mana core rank while the amount of mana required for someone at higher ranks is extremely huge and only possible with external support.

Both Till and Seron should already know that, right?

But that´s not all, my eyes can see through many things and it revealed Max´s disguise in addition to his mana core size, transmuted mana, and so on because his concealment is shallow.

The reason why I asked both of you to reveal your secret was only for me to figure out something my eyes spotted which I´ve never seen before.

Apparently, my guess about Max having a special constitution was correct, but I would like to ask more questions if that is allowed?

I hope this is possible because I revealed my own special trait to receive both of your trust as an exchange for your trust if that is feasible."

What Jason stated was almost all true with the exception that he had never seen anyone with a constitution like Max, as he omitted everything about Dalia as even Old Drake and Till didn´t know about her at all.

However, what he hadn't expected were four pairs of dumbfounded eyes staring at him as if he was about to con them.

"What's wrong?" Jason was confused, as Seron who sat next to him sighed in frustration before he said.

"The problem is!!... that you have most likely mutated mana eyes with an extremely advantageous mutation at that…. Being able to see through concealed mana cores and tell what kind of affinity someone has is more than a little bit overpowered, but you're probably aware of that fact.

Every time you fight someone for the first time, you're at an advantage as long as you can see their mana core size in addition to his affinity.

With this information, you can already estimate your opponent's combat prowess and maybe even his or her strategy and now you're asking us what's wrong?!"

Seron couldn´t accept this anymore… he felt powerless next to Jason, whose background was shallow…. But even so, Jason was much more diligent and determined than everyone he ever saw, causing him to feel only jealous about his trait, without any ill-intention.

Till knew more about Jason than anyone else but even he was astonished, while Old Drake and even more Max, were shocked to their cores.

Jason meanwhile looked innocently between everyone who sat around the small table, as if what Seron said had nothing to do with him.

Old Drake figured out that something had to be special about Jason in order to attract Shane´s attention, which would not happen lust like that.

As such he estimated a few certain perks about the black-haired youth, which included the ability to see mana fluctuations.

However, he underestimated Jason, causing him to feel shocked right now, while Max couldn't even think straight.

Unknowingly, his jaw dropped as he stared at Jason with shock.

Previously, Jason was nothing but a beginner-Adept rank to him, but now he was extremely astonished.

It took Old Drake a while to gather his thoughts before he decided to partially Jason, as it could be an advantage for their future, as he estimated the profits they might gain.

Additionally, Max´s physique wasn't that much of a secret on Canir and many high authorities knew about it.

With Jason´s capabilities and background, it wouldn't take long for him to reach Canir, and figuring out Max´s special trait couldn´t be considered a hassle with enough star notes.

"You are right about Max´s special trait, he has a certain constitution or rather physique which gives him higher amiability towards the water affinity."

He revealed and Jason nodded his head without showing any signs of being surprised as he already knew about that.

"Does his physique has a special name and how did he obtain it?" Jason asked straightforwardly, not hiding his curiosity at all, causing Max to frown slightly, as Old Drake said.

"Our Family called Max´s physique [Lord of the Ocean] because it leans towards the water amplification."

Right when Old Drake was about to continue explaining Max´s physique, he was intercepted by a quiet voice.

"So that's what you call an amplification of 30%?" Jason mumbled quietly, but everyone around him could hear it, as the surroundings suddenly turned eerie and dangerously quiet, causing him to look up

"Did I say something wrong?!"
