God's Eyes

Chapter 344 - Reason

Everyone's attention was drawn to the rift's direction and the tense atmosphere slowly turned into expectancy and joy.

'This rift is different from the four-star rift I entered in Cyro-City!' Jason thought almost immediately.

It was still only one, big and complex rune, but the rift in front of him didn't look like it was manmade! There was no proof for this assumption but Jason could tell that the big and complex rune looked a little bit cruder as if time and nature changed it to allow the rift to take its current form.

There were still the three major affinities in a golden, silver, and distinct black color which his mana eyes perceived in the Cyro-City's rift but the Mythic Garden rift had even more colors intertwined in the gigantic rune.

While the other young men and women were impatiently waiting for the rift to awaken completely, allowing them to enter the Mythic Garden, Jason wanted to comprehend the rift's rune that was a few hundred meters away from him.

The middle-aged woman finished her speech quickly, only to notice that nobody was listening to her anymore which made her angry.

However, she could also understand the young generations' excitement which allowed her to calm down quickly as she allowed them to approach the rift.

The Mythic Garden was extremely important to the Jual clan, but creating bonds and relationships with other big families, clans, companies, and Hunter teams was even more important!

If the Jual clan were to enter the Mythic Garden alone, they would have more resources for themselves, but at the time also more problems on Canir than they currently had.

Right now, everything was going according to their plan and Yvonne Jual, the second head of the Jual clan couldn't help but think that her idea to publicly reveal the Mythic Garden for real prodigies might have worked out.

This year, there were many more young men and women that would enter the Mythic Rift, and one reason for this was the Hidden-Prodigy assessment!

Another reason was that her descendants showed their ambition to establish their own connections which the Jual clan allowed.

It was not difficult to tie small families and clans to them, by using the Mythic Garden as one of the most valuable resources because one received the opportunity to search and bind a blessed being, which might change one's fate!

One could say that the Jual clan was one of the most influential big clans and everything was thanks to the Mythic Garden which caused even other big families to work hard to establish amity with their clan.

While the large crowd, made up of more than a thousand young prodigies that approached the Mythic Garden rift with gleaming eyes, Jason was walking extremely slow to prevent missing out on a single detail if he were to focus too much on his surroundings.

As such, he was still nearby the stage, when everyone else was already waiting for the rift to awaken fully so that they could enter it.

They were pushing each other and one could feel that the previous expectant and joyous atmosphere was slowly turning back to a tense and even hostile atmosphere when the first young men and women started to curse each other.

Yvonne Jual couldn't help but sigh deeply at this sight because it was mankind's greed that caused such behavior.

However, she was unable to deny that her own personality was filled with less greed.

Rather than that, she noticed that her mind became even greedier after she encountered a foreign race that wanted to make a deal with her whole clan.

After hearing how insignificant mankind really was, she couldn't help but become greedier in order to make the best out of their situation.

Some might say that she was evil and taking the wrong path but why should she care about that?

Looking at the crowd of young prodigies in front of the rift that would need a few more minutes to awake, she tried to see if there was someone special who attracted her interest, when she saw a black-haired youth with golden eyes behind the crowd of impatient youths.

While the majority tried to enter the Mythic Garden as fast as possible, there was only a minority who remained calm, standing further away from the crowd to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Jason was one of them, but what made Yvonne Jual curious was his low mana core rank!

She could easily see through Jason's concealment technique that was more complex than what most young men and women could achieve after several years, indicating that his proficiency with the concealment technique was superior.

However, this was useless in front of Yvonne who saw that Jason's mana core rank was barely at the 4th Expert.

'What is someone like this youth doing here?' She asked herself in confusion, not knowing whether this was a bad joke or not.

The golden-eyed youth looked young to her, but his mature aura and calmness were a huge contrast to his obvious low mana core rank.

'How can he remain so calm? Does he not know that the death rate inside the Mythic Garden is 80%, considering that one reached the peak-Master rank?.... Wait? He doesn't seem to be one of the invited youths...How did he pass the Hidden-Prodigy assessment with such a low mana core rank?'

Her curiosity was ignited which caused her to manifest the quantum bracelet's holographic screen in front of her before she opened the document with every passed Hidden-Prodigy assessment.

"Where are you?" Yvonne mumbled, which was looked at with interest from the sovereign-ranked guard that appeared next to her.

It was the same guard who looked at Jason's ID in Asgar.

In the beginning, he didn't really bother about this youth which led him to not scan through his mana core on Asgar.

However, upon seeing how the second-head behaved after glancing at Jason, he became interested too.

Seeing through his concealment, he couldn't hide his astonishment. "That's weird....he is definitely too old to be considered a prodigy with such a low mana core rank."

Yvonne couldn't find Jason on the file and only when she heard Louis word's as she stared at him

"Do you know the golden-eyed youth?"

The sovereign ranked guard, called Louis shook his head

"I was assigned to the teleportation circle on Asgar, where Suo was. This youth, called Jason Laere was also there and he should be around 16 years and a few months old!

However, the AI allowed him to enter the Mythic Garden... which means something about him should be special...I guess?"

Yvonne nodded her head as she searched for Jason's name which she found without much difficulty.

"Martial art proficiency above average(-)? That's low...but...his mana mastery is superior? He is clearly at the Expert rank? OH? A Heaven's will soul awakening?

Interesting!"

Her curiosity and suspicion turned into interest and she stared daggers at Jason, who was suddenly covered in goosebumps while trying to comprehend the Mythic Garden rift's rune.

Turning around, he saw that the middle-aged woman looked at him intently which made him uncomfortable.

Taking a deep breath he tried to ignore her when he suddenly heard an astonished exclamation

"WHAT a fortified soul conjunction???"

This caused Jason to flinch involuntarily as he began to wonder if they were talking about him.

The voice who exclaimed out loud belonged to a female and the middle-aged woman who looked at him before was the most likely to be the culprit.

He became nervous and an uncomfortable sensation approached him which caused him to stiffen involuntarily.

'I should depart as soon as possible!'

Jason was unable to focus on the big, complex rune in front of him anymore and he sighed in relief when he saw that the Mythic Garden rift awoke completely.

Everyone who saw this tried to push each other to be the first to step through the rift and Jason knew that it would take some time before it was his turn.

But how should he know if he had enough time to enter the rift if the middle-aged woman were to follow him.

Taking a short glance at what was going on behind, Jason noticed that the woman smiled at him which caused him to feel uncomfortable as he thought that it would be best to depart right now.

'If I can't enter the rift through the ground, let's take another way!'
