《God's Eyes 》Chapter 72: Starting classes
Advertisement
His eyes were pretty obvious because of their color and the golden luster around them. It wasn't that much of a challenge to conclude that his eyes weren't normal.
"Yes" and with the single word which came out of Jason`s mouth, the class began to murmur among themselves which their teacher dispersed with another finger snap but now without mana.
The students were already scared about him snapping and they turned immediately silent
Straits were already extremely rare and probably only roughly 1 in 1 million had one.
Traits could be inherited with a certain possibility and the ratio of trait holders increased slowly but mana eyes among these trait holders were especially rare.
"Stage?" He asked calmly
"What?" Jason was confused… What did his teacher want to know? Jason didn´t know
"I asked you what stage your mana eyes are?" Mr. Greil was extremely impatient and turned slightly louder while asking
"Eh...I don't know?" Jason replied hesitantly
"OHH MY DEAR LORD!!" Mr. Greil wanted to curse but he had to remain at least a little bit of an image.
Calming down, he explained it slowly
"To put it extremely simply.
Traits are divided into different stages.
The higher the stage the greater are the trait's overall effect.
When you did your special trait test to get your remark you should have been tested about your eyesight, visible mana particles, other special abilities, and so on.
Just tell me the stage, the doctor told you"
Till Greil was impatient and he didn't notice his extremely rude behavior which made Jason uncomfortable.
Jason didn't know his mana eyes stage and even if he did, he wouldn't tell it to anyone except his closest friends and new family.
The only certain thing Jason knew about his eyes, was that they were special and he could see something nobody else could
"I don't know the stage because I'm from a low-grade city without the required high technology and the equipment wasn´t able to tell me anything" Jason believed it was useless to lie right now and it wouldn't be that much of a hassle, to tell the truth, because he was sure the tests provided in small cities would be many times worse than the ones in the higher graded cities.
Mr. Greil listened to Jason and thought for a moment before he checked out Jason's profile.
'C-grade city? That means at least stage 2...even if his mana core rank is bad, his eyesight, motion vision, and observance during combat should be quite good with the ability to read the mana flow of his opponents…'
He concluded this information and thought Jason could be quite good but one thing that bothered him was Jason's low mana core rank even if he didn't want to admit it.

'Is his mana sensitivity bad even if he can see the mana flow? I doubt it… Maybe he is lazy?..No that can´t be true...his theoretical exam results were full marks...OH! his control over mana could be lacking… That should be it!`
Everyone was silent and carefully looking at their teacher in front of them.
"Now that everyone has introduced themself… we can finally start... To start the lesson we should look at the cultivation process or mana gathering prozess overall and how one can improve the speed in ranking up without harming one's body….
There are multiple important characteristics, which are important to rank up fast.
→ Focus
→ Stamina/Endurance
→ Ambition
→ Mana control
→ Mana sensitivity
These characteristics can be combined into two sections also called innate talent and trainable talent.
While trainable talents are Stamina/Endurance, mana control, and focus, innate talents is the ambition to strive for more and one's mana sensitivity.
It is debatable for some people if ambition is an innate talent but in my opinion, it is, because the more ambitious you are, the better you want to be and it is extremely difficult to change one's own ambition.
If your ambition is only strong enough to survive on Astrix and build up a family with children, it makes you strive for less power than one who wants to take revenge on some big families or even the capability to enter and survive on Canir.
While ambition is debatable, whether to call it trainable or innate talent, mana sensitivity isn´t, because every human is born with a certain degree of sensitivity and it is almost impossible to improve.
There are a few drastic exceptions humanity tried like blinding someone to force the body into a state where it has to rely on its senses for dozens of years.
Another way to improve one's mana sensitivity would be high-graded magical treasures with the ability to improve the body's senses but these treasures are rare to find even on Canir.
These items are rarely sold if found and mostly used for oneself or given to a family member with bad mana sensitivity to increase the aptitude in mana gathering.
I don't think anyone of you would sell such a treasure, right? Wouldn't that be a huge waste?
To come back to the main topic. Trainable talents can be increased by making efforts and this is what we want to do for now.
I want everyone to maximize one's mana gathering and circling speed to cultivate faster.
Right now our class is the worst in mana core rank and exam results but that doesn't mean we are bad.

Everyone entered this school, while millions of kids couldn't enter it.
Even those who are older than any of you gave it a try and some might have used the chance while being a year older than the others but still… everyone that sits here right now, overshadowed millions of students!!!..keep that in mind!!
We want to strive for more and keep going...Cultivate hard and reach the higher ranks to protect your loved ones and annihilate the foreign races!!"
Everyone began to clap, even Jason, but he wondered why his teacher was emitting a fog of mana with killing intent inside it, surrounding his teacher as if he wanted to massacre the foreign races right at this moment if he could.
Jason shuddered ass goosebumps spread all over his skin, before he continued to clap, which was somehow similar to group pressure.
`At least he is ambitious to make us stronger`
The detailed explanations about how to train one's focus, endurance/stamina, and mana control took more than two hours and it seemed like their teacher was still not completely done when the bell to initiate a short break began.
Mr.Greil said that they have ten minutes break to think about the injected knowledge as he left the room for the time being.
While internalizing the new information in his mind, the other students stormed into smaller and bigger groups to gossip about their teacher or some students.
Jason was one of the most talked topics, with his almost non-existent mana core rank compared to theirs and his unique mana eyes.
Some even talked about his good looks but this was only the minority because the guys were envious and prevented the girls from talking about that.
He was immediately an outcast but Jason didn't even notice that while he realized many facts he didn't know.
Jason noted down that he had to employ his newfound knowledge as soon as he came home and without noticing, their teacher was already back.
Unbeknownst to Jason, he was made an outcast and had even ignored a few students that called him because of ulterior reasons, like being an errand boy for them, unconsciously.
This made these youths angry and they wanted to teach Jason a lesson, when the teacher came inside
"Tch!! What bad timing" one of the youths in the first row exclaimed"
He looked like a tough guy with more muscles in his head than brain mass but this youth was still a 5th Adept- rank.
His mana core rank was above the average requirement to enter the affiliated school but his theoretical exam was devastating, causing him to end up in this class and that only with the help of his parents.
In this class, many students had a decent mana core rank but they somehow ended up in the worst class.
Either their exam results were extremely bad or their temper brought in minus points from the examinee, which was quite common.
Or maybe their soul-awakening was not good enough for the better-affiliated schools or even the main school.
Considering that even a 2.5-star rating was the worst to get accepted under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be difficult to end up in Class 75.
Brute force was everything some students knew but that was something they were proficient in.
Jason was still unaware of everything and only when he sensed the familiar mana fluctuations of his teacher, he lost focus on his thoughts and looked up.
Now was the first time Jason looked directly into his teacher's mana core and it was shocking…
`Ohhh my god!! So much mana liquid?!?!`
His Aunt and Uncle were not even close to the quantity of mana liquid inside his teacher.
`Is he a Grandmagus?...or maybe even the rank above???? I believe the old man had similar vibes, even if his mana fluctuations were suppressed…Even if he is a Grandmagus, why should he degrade his status to teach a class at the 6th affiliated school of the Vanguard school? He could even apply for one of the higher positions inside this school or even the whole Astrix island?? …..Weird…`
Before Jason could continue his train of thoughts, Mr. Greil continued his lesson but now he was talking about the various kinds of herbs, fruits, trees one could find everywhere including their characteristics, rarity, how to pick, and so on.
This lesson only took an hour and everyone received three book files send onto their quantum bracelets.
'How to find magical herbs, Healing herbs, and magic plants, Journey into the woods'
"Your homework is to finish these books by next week. We will write a test about them."
While everyone was flabbergasted while looking at the large files inside their quantum bracelet and back to their teacher, he continued talking.
"We have still more than enough time left. Today is a special day for everyone. You got to know each other at least slightly but the most important thing is that everyone should know the combat prowess of each other.
I'll give everyone four hours time to reach the most perfect combat form and after the time is up, we will have spars to renew our intern class ranks" The teacher finished and the class roared in fighting spirit

Winter Sovereign
Serra Recquir, a boy born in the world of Sierra, was born with weak and with mediocre talent. Despite the odds, he pursued the path of cultivation. He faced numerous trials, deadly foes and great friends. Eventually, he stepped into the world of the Divine Realm. Breaking past the limits of the world and traveling to higher planes. After millions of years, he finally reached the summit. Becoming a Sovereign Paragon. Longing for the world he left countless years ago, he finally returns to his own world. Author's Note: This story is different from other wuxia novels. If those novels focus on characters that struggle from the bottom and reach the top, this story is one where someone already reached the top. I figured it would be interesting to start a novel from this concept so I started it. Well, however this plays through, just like how I finished my previous novel, Doll's Smile, I'll finish this novel too. Of course, I'm writing this novel just for fun. I like to write lighthearted novels like this. Novels that I would read while listening to music and eating snacks on a pleasant and relaxing afternoon. Do forgive me if I'm slow in writing.
