God´s Eyes

It was only 2 pm when he left school and initially, Jason would either go back to the hideout inside the lake in order to increase his proficiency with the forging process of perfectly purified grade-1 bars or home to the Fler´s house.

But not today!

Jason was not sure if the plan that formed in his mind was either completely stupid or a prodigious piece of art, but he wanted to give it a try.

As such, he ordered a shuttle, which brought him to the main Vanguard school within 40 minutes.

While sitting inside the shuttle, Jason began to read the new batch of books he received from Shane and Dalia.

He wasn't sure how many books there were in total, but the sheer number of files was extremely vast, while in some of them were multiple books at once.

This time, however, there was not only knowledge about the basic lifestyle occupations within the books, but it mostly focused on Beast-Creators, beast evolutions, beast habitats, characteristics, magical ingredients used for evolutions.

This subject alone was already extremely deep but Jason also received a lot of knowledge about the foreign intelligent races, rifts, origin flames, special/unique soulbonds, affinities, and much more complex topics.

These books were already categorized into different sections or comprehension fields in order to allow Jason to decide what to read, even if it might be hard to understand without the fundamental knowledge.

In his masters´ opinion, he was an obsessive bookworm that had to read in order to feel satiated which was similar to Dalia´s behavior towards beast evolutions and her curiosity.

However other than Dalia, Jason was also extremely talented in fighting, had a vast soul, unlike Dalia, while his talent towards the basic lifestyle occupations seemed to be also extremely high thanks to his special trait eyes and high mana sensitivity.

Both Shane and Dalia were jealous and proud of Jason at the same time, as he might even be able to unite humanity under one banner, as long as he was nurtured long enough, without him dying.

This could also end as a big mistake with Jason betraying them, but they believed his principles and trusted him naively, while he himself never promised anything in particular to his masters.

He would just do whatever he believed was the right thing to do, even if that meant he would have to disregard his masters' ideals.

Walking towards the large Vanguard school gate, Jason saw an old man guarding the gate which wondered him.

`What the hell? Is that really necessary?` he thought as he noticed that the old man was a Grandmagus rank, even though his mana core was not really amplified in any way.

The old man noticed him and his uniform as he let him through without checking anything else, which astonished Jason quite a bit, as he suddenly felt his whole body being scanned through with his mana eyes perceiving something weird.

His whole body felt as if it was searched through when he walked past the guardian.

As for his mana eyes, they told him that the old man released a weird kind of transmuted mana, he had never seen before.

But Jason was sure of one fact...this weird kind of mana could analyze his physique which not even his mana eyes were capable of.

It was uncomfortable but getting to know that an ability to detect someone's physical strength existed was extremely interesting for Jason.

He could only see the difference of the mana core rank to the mana core size within other humans, while the old man was capable of scanning the mana core rank and at the same time his physique.

Both could roughly estimate others' soulbond´s strength with their abilities as long as they calculated with a certain soul amplification percentage.

He could for example tell that the old man contracted at most three beasts at the unblemished rank or something similar to that.

Maybe it was also a single magical ranked beast or something like that, but Jason was not sure.

However, in the old guard's opinion, Jason was more interesting, as it felt like he was at the 7th Adept rank according to his physique, while his mana core was at the 3rd Adept rank.

A difference of four ranks at the adept rank could have multiple meanings.

Either his soul amplification was extremely high, he either had an unblemished beast that enhanced all aspects, a physically enhancing soulbond, or multiple evolved/awakened beasts contracted, if he were to calculate with a soul world amplification of 10% as a rough average.

Considering that the black-haired youth that walked past him wore the uniform from the 6th affiliated school not a single theory of his should be correct because the youth walking past him shouldn´t end up within an affiliated school.

The old guardian wasn't sure what to think about the black-haired youth as he continued to rake his brain about a logical reason for an individual with such weird soul amplification to stay at the 6th affiliated school.

There was only one thing for sure.

The owl which circled above Jason was only at the lower-evolved rank.

`Is nobody aware of this kid, or what is going on here?` he thought, as he slumped back on his chair, trying to forget the black-haired youth.

This whole work as guardian was unnecessary, to begin with as he was told to let students through the gates during the special combat class challenges, while he should only protect the school from terrorists or suspicious people.

Even though the challenges were canceled for the next three days, he hadn´t received any other order that told him to prevent anyone from walking through the gate.

Walking through the gate, Jason only had to confirm his ID and the reason for him to enter the Vanguard-Main school at the automatic system.

If there was something wrong, the old guardian would either help him out, or if he were to do something bad, throw him out.

But everything worked as it should, as the AI accepted his reason, which felt quite weird.

He just wrote [Let me be the Tracker] without anything behind that as his reason, which was stupid yet the real reason for him to walk into the main Vanguard school.

According to his knowledge, there had to be a forest somewhere with the school buildings relatively close by, which were his final destination.

Running towards the center, Jason was confident that he would find the three school buildings for each year within a short amount of time and roughly 20 minutes passed until he found what he searched for.

However, there was only one problem Jason noticed, as he stood in front of the three identical-looking school buildings, that were innately different from the 6th affiliated school´s constructions.

Suddenly he remembered something, as he slapped his forehead as he exclaimed

"I´m so stupid!" before he turned around to rush towards the combat arena he saw a few minutes early.

Similar to his schedule, Malia and Greg also had their practical lessons in the afternoon, which meant that they were both in the combat arena instead of the school building.

Jason was only searching for Malia as he remembered that she had to go on an expedition as one of the major exams to graduate from the Vanguard school.

With this in mind. maybe Malia and her team wanted to make an expedition into the four-star rift which would perfectly fit into the required strength for their major exam, which ignited a tiny ray of hope within him.

If his prediction was correct, he may even be able to convince them to let him join their expedition!
