Chapter 113: 113: Discovered
'Wait... Why the fuck am I having so many useless thoughts lately?'
Just like that, Caleb appeared beside Shu. He saw the latter conversing with the three members with a casual smile on his face.
'Well, this seems to have good interpersonal skills. Good, such skill is also important.'
Caleb looked at Kidd. Unlike the two, he looked like average at most. He had an annoyed face, as if not glad talking with Shu.
Kidd has quite a good physique. Caleb was sure that the latter had reached the middle prerequisite, which surprised him. Reaching the level at such an age can be considered a genius already. Enjoy exclusive content from m-v l'-NovelBin.net
As for why, he said that the other party looks average at most. Actually, he has decent facial features, it's just his features don't harmonize with each other. A nose with a straight bridge and a narrow, well-defined tip. High and Defined Cheekbones. Prominent and sculpted cheekbones give him a sharp, chiseled appearance. It was Kidd's most redeeming feature. Unfortunately, everything was average after that. He has a recessed jaw and high body fat. Brown eyes, brown skin, and hair. Overall, Kidd doesn't look ugly or handsome. He was someone that would blend well in the crowd.
'Wait... When did I start judging people's appearance?'
As for his attire, Kidd sports a black, long-sleeved jacket with a high collar. The jacket is open, revealing his white shirt underneath. It has a loose and somewhat relaxed fit. Underneath his black jacket, Kidd wears a white, high-collared shirt. The shirt has a simple design and a buttoned-up front. On the back of his jacket, there's a symbol that represents something. The symbol resembles a stylized eye within a circle.
That's for his upper body... While his lower body.
Kidd wears black pants that match the color of his jacket. The pants are plain and unadorned. He completes his outfit with black boots, which make him look a bit taller than he should be. Has distinctive blue stud earrings in both ears. These earrings are part of his overall style.
'Welp, it seems the team I would be in are all guys that know a thing or two about fashion.'
"Johan, good... You're already here." Shu smiled in greeting. Then he gestured towards the other three with his hands and said. "As you can see, there's five of us in this team. I hope we can rely on each other in the future."
"Hmph... Rely on yourself. I don't need your help." Kidd snorted, displeased.
Caleb couldn't help but turn his gaze at Kidd and Shu. 'Disagreement already? Tsk... Tsk... It seems this team won't be as harmonious as I thought.'
Shu scratched his head. He didn't understand why Kidd seemed to dislike him. He didn't do anything to him as much as he could remember.
"Well, you can also rely on me. We might have to be together for a few years, so... I hope to have a pleasant year with you and I'm looking forward to fighting side by side with you." Kazuto gave a friendly smile. Then he looked at Caleb curiously. "What's your name again?"
"Caleb... I mean, Johan." Caleb smiled and offered a handshake as he perceived that Kazuto was an extroverted type.
Kidd's eyes fell upon the newcomer, Johan, taking in the sight before him. He couldn't help but assess Johan's appearance with a critical eye.
Johan had short, dark hair that partially obscured his forehead, adding a touch of mystery to his countenance. His nose was unremarkable, blending seamlessly with his otherwise plain features. The black pupils of his eyes held secrets that Kidd couldn't decipher, framed by thin eyebrows and delicate eyelids that gave him an air of quiet introspection.
However, Kidd couldn't ignore the stark contrast between Johan's facial features and the rest of his appearance. Johan's skin was eerily pale, reminiscent of that of a corpse, and it left Kidd wondering if this guy had an aversion to sunlight. His slender, almost emaciated frame further added to the enigma, though Kidd couldn't help but question, "Is this damned guy not fond of the sun?"
Johan's attire didn't escape Kidd's scrutiny either. A plain white shirt clung to his body, revealing holes and stitched patches that told a story of wear and tear. Plain black pants completed the outfit, devoid of any accessories like piercings or necklaces.
At first glance, Johan seemed fragile and weak. But Kidd sensed something more beneath the surface. There was an unknown energy within Johan that was stirring, and it was evident that a dormant strength lurked within him. He carried a powerful force in his body, a fact that hinted at a hidden reservoir of potential. Kidd couldn't help but feel a mix of curiosity and wariness toward him. His ability might not have given him a strong power, but it allowed him to sense the power level of others through the intensity of colors.
'What kind of energy is that? Is he perhaps already a Destiny?'
Kidd had a special ability when he was born. He could feel different kinds of energy that exist in the world. However, he cannot interfere or use them in any shape or form. For example, physical energy looks like a yellow energy that every human or creature has. It was a yellow energy that humans and animals alike exude. However, the stronger the human was, the thicker the yellow energy, which means stronger physical energy.
Except for the other Scouts outside who were exuding a yellow aura, it was as if they were enveloped by yellow flames. Unlike ordinary humans who only exude weak yellow light. David, on the other hand, has the highest intensity almost akin to a blazing sun. His entire being was exuding rays upon rays of intense beams of yellow light.
Johan in front of him was wrapped in yellow light with the intensity that only Tier 9 Destiny possessed, and he was surrounded by weird, purple energy. It was the first time he saw someone wrapped in two colors or energy. Not to mention, they are equal in intensity.
