God's Eyes

Chapter 332 - What Now?

Jason was unaware of how fortunate he was with the question which he asked the two students from the Aerda school who were also blacksmith apprentices.

The Mythic Garden was considered a national treasure from the Jual Clan that was only open for a few clans and families who have an alliance with the Jual clan.

Nevertheless, there were also other clans, companies and so on that were invited to enter the Mythic Garden upon being invited.

This was the Jual clan's scheming to lure these clans and companies into the alliance after they understood how precious the Mythic Garden was, allowing the Jual clan to demand valuable goods in return for the opportunity to enter the Mythic Garden!

If Jason had asked something different or not concealed his mana core and fluctuations, he would probably be laughed at by the two students before they would have reported him.

He was unsure why one was required to make the 'Hidden-Prodigy' assessment but from the looks of it one required to have a monstrous talent.

It was probably considered bad if normal citizens or too many people figured out too much about the Mythic Garden because of the astronomical value it had.

After he got to know what he wanted to figure out, Jason pondered what he should do now.

There was no need for him to think too long because it was definitely better to tell his masters every little detail he found out.

Jason called them instead of going to their house due to a simple reason.

If his masters' were in the same opinion as him, Jason would immediately make the 'Hidden-Prodigy' assessment!

Their knowledge about the Mythic Garden was still shallow to put it simply.

If he were to finish the 'Hidden-Prodigy' assessment, they might receive more information.

This was definitely necessary, and the only downside was that he would have to reveal himself.

However, this was not really something he and his masters' were worried about because his new ID as Jason Laere made him two years older.

As such he was now 16 years and roughly 7 months old according to his new Identity.

With that, his combat prowess of a Master rank at the 2nd level was at most, above average.

Accessing his quantum bracelet, a holographic screen manifested in front of him as he video-called his masters.

They answered the call without any expectations but when they saw Jason grinning at them like he found a magical treasure at the Monarch rank, both immediately knew that something good had happened.

"I found out a few things about the Mythic Garden!" Jason said without adding any more than that as he waited for his masters to reply

His grin turned into a sly smile when his masters didn't respond to him because they waited for Jason to continue speaking.

When they noticed that Jason didn't answer Dalia remained silent while Shane became annoyed.

"Hurry up, tell us, or do you want to talk to us by staying silent?"

Jason chuckled for a few seconds because he found himself extremely funny before he turned serious

"I didn't find out much, but it seems like the Mythic Garden is known by youths with great potential, influential families, and clans.

However, their information is probably only shallow and not much, at least if I understood everything correctly.

The Mythic Garden is a permanent 'hidden' rift, governed by the Jual clan which we already figured out, but they also let other youths and families inside the rift as long as they have a great talent.

I'm not sure why that is the case, but the person whom I got the information from also told me about a 'Hidden-Prodigy' assessment that is required to enter the Mythic Garden.

One has to have a great result in this assessment to receive more information about everything which only someone who enters the hidden rift get to know.

Furthermore, I'll receive a date when the 'expedition' into the Mythic Garden would start the next time, even if I don't really know what that means.

If possible I would request to be tested by the government to receive more information but I'm not really sure how smart it would be to expose my soul in that assessment."

When Jason finished his explanation, he looked at his masters, carefully inspecting their reaction, only to see that they didn't react in any particular way.

They just looked at him with a faint smile on their lips before Dalia said

"How did you even figure that out in such a short amount of time? It hasn't even been a whole day since you went to the Golden-Soul shop!"

Dalia was curious about how exactly Jason managed something Shane was unable to do, which forced her to suppress laughing out when she saw a vein protruding on Shane's temples.

Meanwhile, Shane tried to stay calm, not show any signs of being frustrated that Jason was much more efficient than him.

In the end, he sighed deeply after his disciple answered Dalia's question.

"I asked two third-year students from the Aerda-school which is a school in the A-grade city next to ours, about it.

To put it simply, I concealed my mana core and all fluctuations tried to put on a confident look, and asked a question while revealing a few information about the Mythic Garden that only a few people should know.

I also said that I was invited and that my guide told me to ask top-students from A-grade schools or the government about the Mythic Garden if my memories turn blurry.

After scanning the youths' mana core that were already at the Master rank while being in the third year, I figured out that they must be top-students or at least close to that level which led me to ask them about more.

Fortunately, they didn't seem suspicious about my question and they explained everything I just said without any doubts."

Showing his masters a peace sign, both Shane and Dalia couldn't suppress a sigh because their student's approach to figure out more information could have also gone the wrong way.

Fortunately, everything went well and they found out more information about the Mythic Garden.

However, Jason's worry about exposing his soul was definitely justified.

He once manifested his whole soul world outside and it was gigantic.

Maybe even this was an underestimation but there was not really something they could compare it with.

Nevertheless, more problematic than his soul world's size was the golden color and hundreds of colors floating through his soul world, indicating that his soul world was not something ordinary, even for youths that had a 4-star soul awakening.

If he were to reveal his soul world's size, color, and the affinities he could contract, nobody would care about his soul energy replenishing speed or the amplification he received because he could contract hundreds of soul beasts.

In the end, Jason could build his own small army which was a scary thought, that was not possible through the high soul world amplification he received.

Fortunately, Shane was still enthusiastic as he said

"You might not know this, but you can also regulate how much of your soul world you want to manifest as long as you practice the concealment technique a little bit. This is a trick people with a four-star soul-awakening like to use, if necessary. Just come back first and test manifesting a small part of your soul world.

It's not even difficult and you can probably learn how to do this in a few hours or at most two days!"
