God's Eyes

Chapter 372 - Exposed

From the looks of it, Suo seemed to be able to think calmer than Jason expected.

That was after their small incident that occurred barely a few minutes prior.

Jason was unsure if he had to fight against Suo in three months because that was just something he said without any meaning.

However, if Suo challenged him in three months, he wouldn't back off. Instead, Jason was confident to reach a combat prowess comparable to that of a peak-Master rank, without the need to let a soulbond occupy his mana core!

That way he would be weaker than Suo, but it was not like he relied on his common combat prowess for anything either way.

In the worst case, Jason was confident that he would be able to fight Suo head-on by using his fortified soul conjunction and black origin flame.

As such, he was unbothered by Suo's anger towards him.

Nevertheless, Jason couldn't help but think that Suo might be smarter than he estimated him to be!

'Was he just fooling around before? Or is that his personality?... Like having a serious attitude but being hot-tempered?'

He didn't know about that and decided to not mind it for now as he followed Isga and Milan, both astonished about the information Jason hinted at.

Meanwhile, the light affinity meerkat and horned lightning panther, that were both beasts at the Lowest Lique state, couldn't help but eye their masters weirdly, not knowing what to do as their gaze turned towards Jason.

They stared at him as if they wanted to say 'You caused this mess, fix it!'

Sighing deeply, Jason decided that it was best if he were to talk to them in order to distract them from thinking too much about their clans.

"I didn't ask that yet, but how old are both of you?"? This was a simple question but it was enough to drag Isga and Milan out of their trains of thought.

"I'm 18 years old and Milan is still 17 years old," Isga said before returning the same question

"You two must have a great mana aptitude, considering that you've already liquefied a drop of mana and Milan will also enter the Liq-.... Magus rank at or below the age of 18. That's great!"

He didn't answer Isga's question because he was suddenly reminded about Malia, who was younger than both Milan and Isga. However, she wanted to enter the Lique stage before this year was over. Jason knew that this was unlikely for her to achieve this year, even more so after he had heard about what happened to Astrix.

He still didn't know what happened to any of the Fler's and if they were safe… However, he could feel that they were still alive, which was the most important thing for now!

Isga and Milan couldn't help but feel a little bit proud about their mana aptitude which caused them to brag for a moment as Isga asked Jason about his age once again.

Not actively listening to his new friend, he just answered "I'll turn 15 in a few months."

While he continued thinking about Greg, Malia, and the Fler parents, Milan suddenly exclaimed.

"You...are WHAT?!"

Drawn out of his train of thoughts, he began to wonder what was going on when he recalled what he subconsciously said.

'My stupid mouth!' He cursed inwardly before thinking of a lie as he said

"I mean 17…."

Unfortunately, his try to fix the mess he created was ignored because Isga, who stared at him intently, detected his lie.

"You have yet to turn….15? How?"

Jason was glad that there was nobody else around them because he dragged them further away when he wanted to distract them from thinking about their clan.

Nevertheless, the fact that he exposed himself so easily was embarrassing and if his masters were to find out what kind of pushover he was, they would laugh at him, at least Shane.

"Let's say that I'm younger than both of you...and that my mana aptitude is especially high. Further--" Before Jason was able to finish his sentence, Isga suddenly intervened

"You don't have a relative with an extremely high soul world amplification, right? That's you! Otherwise, why would someone who is not even 15-years-old try to enter the Mythic Garden, instead of waiting two more years? With your strength, it would be stupid to enter the Mythic Garden. However, in two years you would be much stronger….The only reason for your family, clan, or whatever you have as backing to allow you to enter the Mythic Garden right now, would be to find a cursed soulbond! It's similar to my case last year with the Debilitation Centaur….just a little bit more shocking!"

'Why is Isga so quick-witted?' Jason lamented before he nodded his head.

There was no need to lie right now and instead, he could clear the mess he created for good.

'At least they're distracted now….'

Clearing his throat Jason said

"It's true that I don't have a relative with a high soul world amplification, and it's also correct that my soul world amplification is high…

I hope that nobody will tell anyone about my age because it might complicate everything. It's not that I have to hide my age but it's better that way if you two can understand that… I can't wait to bind a weakening cursed soulbond because my body is already on the brink of tearing apart and I can barely restrain it because my soulbonds' don't enter the L-...Magical rank!"

For a few days, he was uncomfortable with calling beasts at the Lowest Lique stage, Magical ranked beasts, while the same applied for humans.

It felt weird, but it was not as important as the situation he was currently inside.

"it's true that you wouldn't be taken seriously even though your talent should be extremely high and superior to most prodigies here… but having a combat prowess comparable to that of a peak-Master, if now newly advanced Magical ranked beats while being younger than 15… That's truly shocking… Either way, I have no reason to tell anyone about it "

Isga said and Milan nodded his head before adding

"I won't tell anyone about it too… that might be out of context but how high is your soul amplification that you already need to curse it at the age of 15??"

Without a reason to lie to both Isga and Milan anymore, Jason decided that it was fine to let the others into one of his secrets.

"My soul world amplification is roughly 33%. My mana core rank is at the Expert rank, which is not extremely unique at my age, but I have two peak-Unblemished ranked soulbonds!"

"33%!!" They already expected his soul world amplification to be high, but it was much more than they expected.

Yet, Isga was able to retain calmer than Milan as he mumbled

"That's why the Debilitation Centaur's curse is too weak…"

Jason nodded his head, feeling like he made some friends, even though they only got to know each other for a short period.

This was because both Isga and Milan seemed genuine when they talked and reacted which was also the reason he told them about his secret.

It might have been an accident that he revealed his age, but it was definitely better to expose the rest before turning into a mysterious young man that attracted everyone's curiosity more!

Not knowing something is sometimes worse than knowing something shocking!

While the three continued to talk with each other about all kinds of things, their main topic remained Jason's high soul world amplification.

Isga and Milan weren't even jealous about Jason's soul world amplification because they heard the fairy tale about the 'Cursed prodigy' way too often.

Rather than feeling jealous, they pitied Jason to a certain extent. He lived with the constant threat of tearing apart which was mentally taxing.

It might be advantageous at some point in the future, but for that to happen, several decades had to pass until Jason's soul world reached its limit.

For that to happen it had to be filled with soulbonds that reached their racial limit, without a single space left for another soulbond.

However, Isga and Milan could tell that Jason had a major reason to look out for a strong soul world amplification curse which was probably his soul world's size and the possible affinities he should be able to bind.

Following Suo and his small group of close subordinates that walked around as if they were Mythic Garden's overlords, Isga and Milan tried their best to think of multiple more possible cursed soulbonds for Jason after he told them that his soul world was larger than they might expect.

Jason only revealed this after they asked and both Isga and Milan felt that Jason's sincerity to let them into their secret, despite not knowing each other for a long time was worth helping him to their best extent.

Thankful for their help, Jason told himself that he had to remember this favor to repay it once they needed him too!
