Dungeon Of Pride, Laplace

Though he did not know what she did, Simon at least knew that the information displayed on the device were false and something which she had manipulated. When his thoughts arrived till this point, he couldn't help but be amazed.

"Hmm… Adalinda, level 300, Class- Dragonfire Adept?... potential High… good, very good... incredible even" the guild manager stroked his beard and smiled broadly.

His old eyes went over her rare class that he had never heard of, her potential and her level, his head nodded in satisfaction and excitement.

There was even a fierce glow in his eyes that was difficult for him to hide. A human with a high potential and strange rare class … how rare was that?

Potential referred to an individual ability to level up and the heights that they would reach in the future. Naturally, a high potential meant that the person would be able to reach greater heights and their achievement would be truly astonishing.

Those with high potential were also seen as a genius that was difficult to come by and there were only a few of them in this entire kingdom with a potential like that. How could the old man not get excited?

Even if he counted all the people currently living in this city, there would be no more than 2 individuals with a high potential. Counting the little girl in front of him, doesn't that mean that there were currently three individuals with a high potential and an ability to reach unknown heights currently in their city?

Gill's face was flushed but it boiled even more when his gaze went over to her level. Level 300… what kind of concept was that? Even when counting all of the veteran adventurers amongst all of the guilds here, those people who were able to reach level 300 wouldn't even cross thirty.

Just this fact alone was adequate to lift his opinion of the little girl who doesn't even seem to be more than fourteen years old.

The thick eyebrows of the old man trembled and his body quivered with excitement. 'An excellent find… an excellent find' he repeatedly thought in his heart.

Adalinda flashed a cheeky smile while reading the information displayed by the mirror before turning around and walking towards the baffled looking Simon. She couldn't help but smile even brightly when she saw the expression on his face.

Simon eyes quietly followed the figure of the little girl as she approached him and it took him quite a while to come to his senses.

"You… that… how?" Maybe due to him receiving a relatively big shock earlier, but he was having trouble forming coherent words.

Seeing him tongue-tied, Adalinda proudly puffed her chest and declared "Of course, I have my own methods. It's just a Perusal Mirror, even if the technology of the mirror has become obscured and difficult to create in present times, if they think that they can use that against me then they are sorely mistaken".

Simon blinked his eyes a few times after hearing her words, why did she sound like the Perusal Mirror which was viewed so highly by the adventurer's guild, was nothing but a simple toy in front of her.

While the two were having their own secret discussion, the old man finally finished with the thing he was currently busying himself with before looking at the two of them. The eyes with which he viewed them was now less stern and more gentle than before.

How could he not, there was an individual with high potential and level 300 standing there and although he did not know what potential and level the handsome looking young man over there was, but from the way that they tagged along he did not believe that the potential of the young man was any less than the little girl beside him.

Shaking his head, Gill turned around and faced the Perusal Mirror once again, he stared at the information for a few seconds before taking out a transparent marble the size of a peanut from his space ring and throwing it into the mirror.

The transparent marble swiftly passed through the black surface of the mirror without generating any ripple before coming out of the other end. The marble was still transparent; however, there was a small light at the centre which was previously not there.

The marble which dropped onto the floor after passing through the mirror, was swiftly picked by Gill and kept tightly within his palm. He then looked back at the mirror and surprisingly, there were no longer any lines of words floating on the black surface of the mirror.

The Perusal Mirror was back to how it was before being used.

"Alright, young man it's your turn now" Gill turned towards Simon and beckoned him with a smile. Even the way he used to address Simon, had changed from brat to young man.

The young man in question hesitated for quite a while, he was not Adalinda and did not have mysterious powers like her. if he went up to that mirror, it was likely that he would be seen through by this device and his façade would be immediately blown.

Should such a scenario come to pass, he would no longer be able to stay idle as he would be constantly besieged by humans from all over the city.

Yes to start with, the old man in front of him would become his enemy first the moment his race was revealed. While such turbulent thoughts was churning in his head, he heard a soft whisper from Adalinda beside him.

"Hehe, don't worry I have tampered that device a little… it is unlikely that the mirror would be able to tell your race" with her insight, she could clearly tell what Simon was worrying about.

After hearing her words, Simon finally felt a little relieved and his feet which were previously glued to the floor, moved. Being assured by someone on the level of Adalinda who could even tamper with the result of a device such as the Perusal Mirror, he felt his body relaxing as he approached the mirror.

He glanced at the guild manager standing beside the device and then at the mirror, the old man was not the slightest bit aware that the device had been tampered with and whatever results he got, was false.

"Place your hands on the surface of the mirror and quietly channel some of your mana into it" Gill said with a slight tone of excitement in his voice.

Simon nodded and followed the instruction without any complaints. He placed his hands on the smooth glossy black surface of the mirror and felt that it was quite sturdy. He then next circulated the mana around his body before channelling some of it towards the mirror through his hand.

The moment his mana pressed on the surface of the mirror, it was quickly sucked in and before long, the previous phenomenon where ripples started generating spread all across the edges of the mirror.

Simon arced his brows when he felt the device quietly eating the mana he had channelled in it. He must mention that the amount he had inserted into it was enough to turn a boulder into fine granules yet the mirror looked perfectly fine with no hint of it shattering.

It would be a lie if Simon said that he was not at all curious as to how this device and the materials used on it were made.

By the time such thoughts passed through his head, the ripples on the mirror started dying out and before long few lines of words started surfacing on its smooth surface.

Looking at the information displayed on it, he sneakily spared a glance at the little girl who was currently giving him a bratty smile.

Name- Simon

Race- Human

Class- [Sword Master]

level- 300

Potential- Low

The excited smile of the guild manager quickly became stiff when he saw the normal class and the potential of the young man displayed by the Perusal Mirror.

His brightened eyes quickly became a little dull, nonetheless, he quickly hid it. In his heart, however, he was sighing intensely. Although the young man was also at level 300, due to him having a low potential his future was limited and the heights he could reach was not very high.

The potential displayed how pure the bloodline one inherited was, thus Gill couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the limit of the young man was already set.

He was the guild manager and therefore he quickly hid such feelings and nodded at the young man. According to him, the limit of the young man would be appearing soon and when that time came, he would no longer be able to level up.

Shaking his head, Gill started busying himself with his work once again and brought out a transparent marble similar to the one in his palm from his space ring.

Meanwhile, Simon walked back towards Adalinda who had difficulty containing her smile and stared at her with a hidden meaning.

He was unconcerned about her prank of putting his potential at low while her at high and was more concerned with how she achieved it. From the sensation he felt from the Perusal Mirror, he could immediately tell that it was no ordinary device, however, Adalinda had easily tampered with it.

This fact once again reminded Simon how insanely powerful this little girl who had a short temper was.

With her help, Simon was able to outwit the guild manager without being found out.. His race was displayed as human while his name remained the same, it seemed that Adalinda had also tempered with his level which should be higher than 300.
