Eye System

Chapter 91: E-Rank Voltac

Walking into the alleyway that was next to the orphanage, Lex withdrew Kano that wrapped around him and grew in size and adapted to form him a hooded robe that mysteriously covered his face.

Lex never understood how it was possible for a mysterious white cloth that seemed to be alive, to be able to achieve such wondrous feats, but was glad that he had Kano that saved him a lot of trouble.

He hadn't explored the uses of Kano but knew that it could produce weapons and eat weapons and somehow allowed Max Ford to become the greatest blacksmith in the country from being a trash, but he had no idea how to do so.

[I will figure out your uses when I have time after I train somemore] decided Lex who didn't want to lose the momentum he had now for training and was too focused on gaining strength.

Jumping upwards than kicking off the wall on the wall of the right side, then bursting upwards to the left side, Lex jumped from wall to wall in a zig-zag then jumped onto the roof of the residential building next to the orphanage.

He felt his body was not only strong in terms of LVL, but was now much more flexible and had more explosive power due to not only relying on energy to temper his body but also training at the same time.

Bursting off his feet off the edge of the buildings, Lex dashed from building to building relying only on his bodies strength and reaching the Volitac Base he usually went to, flipped in mid-air off the building and landed gently on his toes in front of the entrance.

Lex's control over his body was now better than it had ever been, not in terms of battling with the Eye Demon but his control over his muscles, and was now able to accomplish tasks more efficiently using his entire body and was able to accomplish more intricate tasks with his control.

Walking in he received a gentle smile from the woman that was always standing at the front, but received aggressive looks from the rest of those that sat within the Base drinking beer as they conversed and spread rumours.

"How may I help you today Ashura," said the woman warmly, but deep within her eyes Lex could see she was analysing him and trying to gauge his identity and power and she seemed to have been specifically waiting for him as he saw from the jolt of emotion in her eyes when she saw him. 

The warmth she was showing was merely an act to get Lex to feel comfortable around her and she was probably going to try and uncover his hood and seemed to be under the orders of somebody.

Ever since his Eye Knowledge had increased and reached LVL 1, Lex has been able to read the real intentions and emotions of somebody through their eyes and just like the system told him, the eyes cannot hide emotion like the rest of the body.

[I am drawing too much attention and should be careful] Lex thought to himself seeing her intentions and that she was under the orders of some sort of superior.

Everybody's eyes were like a book for Lex to read that would spill the person's intentions and emotions and he had been able to completely read everybody he had met so far apart from his master, which is also a reason why he gravitated towards her as a senior.

Him coming here to become an E-Rank Voltac after only 14 days was the worst timing when he is under the surveillance of the guild, but he wasn't willing to miss out on such a valuable reward that the mission gave him and decided he would make sure he was careful to draw less unwanted attention in the future until he was strong enough.

"I would like a promotion to an E-Rank Voltac" stated Lex directly.

Hearing this she gaped in shock knowing that he had only joined 2 weeks ago and remembered he was weak and visibly she could see he seemed to have gained muscle.

After a few seconds of daze, she regained composure and behind the front counter, there was a desk that she scribbled something down on with a pen and tried to return to her usual smile.

However, her eyes revealed everything.

Knowing his face was covered and he could use his Eye Powers again, Lex couldn't help but smile to himself.

Scouting Eye

As his iris and pupil became white and fused with his cornea and the rest of his senses, Lex felt the all-seeing vision around him that he hadn't felt in a long time.

[With this along with my fighting skills that I am training I will be unrivalled in battle] thought Lex after reuniting with his Eye Powers.

Looking past the counter and onto the desk Lex saw her hands were nervously shaking trying not to give away her real intentions and saw a pen and note pad.

'Within 14 days of joining he has completed 10 F-Rank missions and came back to become an E-Rank Voltac' was scribbled on the page of the notepad.

Lex could see she was nervous and decided he wouldn't tip her off that he realised, but noticed that she was grabbing a circular crystal and placed it on the counter.

"You as a Power Leveller will be tested using an energy crystal, and if you were a Body Leveller you would be tested on a gravitational pad" she announced as she placed the circular crystal before him.

"This is a Mortal Crystal and will light up according to how much f the Mortal Level you have completed and to become an E-Rank Voltac it should dimly light up which would represent you are halfway away from completing it" she explained.

[So to test Internal Cultivation they would use a crystal that lights up according to how much energy it is supplied and to test External Cultivation they would use a gravitational pad that I assume increased the pressure to a level that the body should be able to handle to test if they have reached that LVL] noted Lex, who became very analytical.

Lex placed both his palms on the crystal, but it weirdly lit up quite brightly, but only had the signs of a midway complete Mortal with it not being completely lit up.

Retracting his hands as soon as the light began to shine realising that he still seemed to be able to light it up even more even after already proving his LVL.

[It must be because my energy is much denser and purer compared to those restricted by levelling] assumed Lex.

The woman could no longer keep her composure and covered her gaped mouth in shock.

"I need my verification and need to leave" interrupted Lex who didn't feel comfortable and didn't want to continue to draw more attention.

"I need your identification and I can complete the process," she said as she bit her lip trying to stay calm.

Not wanting to cause even more of a commotion he pretended to withdraw it from his robe, but withdrew it from the inventory into his hand and placed it on the counter.

She took the card and behind the counter were a line of a few crystals that weren't to test energy but seemed to link Lex's identification to different.

Placing his card over the second crystal he felt another connection and assumed it was that for the E-Rank Voltac, which it was.

"You are now an E-Rank Voltac and to become a D-Rank Voltac you will need to complete 20 E-Rank missions and become a complete Mortal" she announced to him as she returned his identification card to him.

"You now have access to the E-Rank missions and a few more things such as more books within the library and.." she explained, but suddenly stopped as she noticed that Lex had turned around and left.

Lex had, had enough of her constant talking and left while she was talking and left unbothered by what she had to say.

For Lex, the Voltiac Guild was merely a way to gain wealth and status by completing missions and rising with the guild, but wasn't infatuated with the guild and only wanted to complete his missions and get his reward without them knowing his identity.

{Ding, Mission Completed: Reward - Dual Eye and C-Rank Eye Power Draw} the system announced.

Returning his Voltac identification into the inventory so that he couldn't be tracked with it, Lex jumped up onto the building and searched for a quiet place for him to open his reward.

Meanwhile, inside the Voltac Base he had just left from, as soon as he left the woman fell back into her chair in relief.

"He really is mysterious and Elder Mason was right to be interested in him" she mumbled to herself as she wrote down a formal letter and after closing the envelope, climbed up the stairs to the roof of the Base.

"Chip, you are going to have to quickly deliver this to Voltiac Base 234 in the Inner Country," she said to a small red bird gently as she stroked its head and place the folded letter in the pouch attached the bird's leg.

The intelligent bird squawked in affirmation and flew off towards the Inner Country,
