Chapter 6 Chapter Six: New Skill
< Elven spiritual eyes, level 1 >
"A spiritual eyes?" Kevin clamored. "Like, what does it mean?"
There wasn't any information about the spiritual eyes but an option had suddenly appeared under the skill.
< Do you wish to equip your new skill? >
< Yes > < No >
"Why bother asking, I'm an Elf after all. I need skills like this right at the moment." Kevin chose yes and the skill was equipped by the system.
As he closed and opened his eyes, it was then that he realized what the system meant by asking if he wants to equip the skill.
Everything around him was displaying only the colors of their auras. He could see different colors of auras coming from the magic tools and equipment that were in the room.
The magic book that was on the table also had its aura. Everything around him had its distinct aura based on what they are and where they origin from.
Kevin hoisted his eyes towards the door and could see another color of aura moving around.
The aura was in the shape of a human, so Kevin knew it was probably one of his father's disciples.
He was thinking maybe it was perhaps his father and not his disciple but even still, the person was an Elf. The color of every elf's aura was green. The only thing that differentiates a strong elf from a weak elf was how strong and bright the green aura glows.
While Kevin was having fun scanning around his environment, he suddenly sighted a different kind of Aura. It was yellow and was shining more brightly than every other yellow aura he had seen.
He strode towards the yellow aura and then pulled it out of where it was hidden. But he had caught a glimpse of another aura again, beside it. It also have a yellow aura but it was glowing more brightly than the one he had first spotted.
Kevin canceled his spiritual eyes skill and looked at what he had found using his normal eyes.
As he held the two things in his hands, the system suddenly notified him.
< Two different kinds of gemstones found >
Kevin separated both gemstones and then examined each differently.
While he looked at the more glowing gemstone which was now green in color from the view of his normal eyes, the system revealed the information about it and he started reading.
< Emerald gemstone: [Mostly used by new students to enter the Mage Academy, one gem per student. This gem was acquired from a Horned Chameleon beast] >
"Horned chameleon,.. that doesn't sound like a beast one can easily find. So that's why those guys from earlier wanted to kill me."
It's so hard killing a horned chameleon. First, it is a dangerous, deadly beast that uses its tiny sharp horn that was placed on its head to slice at its enemy.
Secondly, it also has the qualities of a Chameleon, if not more advanced than a normal chameleon. It changes color according to the surrounding it is, thereby making it difficult to spot easily.
Upon looking at the second type of gem which was red physically, the system showed him another piece of information on what it was.
< Ruby gemstone: A gemstone that could be extracted from a mud crab beast. It is usually located at the chest area of the beast. Ruby gemstone could be used to create swords and arrows, due to how strong and unbreakable it is. >
"What if I steal those crystals?" Kevin smirked devilishly and as if the system was in support of what he was thinking, it had suddenly notified him.
< Ten Emerald gemstones received: 10 >
< 5 Ruby gemstones received: 5/20 >
< Collect more Ruby gemstones to unlock your first magic. >
"You didn't even allow me to decide if I want to steal it or not." Kevin thought of stealing the gems although he didn't want to at first, he was later convinced to take the gemstones.
"My first mission is to get stronger. Let's see if I could find a mud crab in the forest. I think there's a mud located close to the mountain foot."
"Did those elf brats from earlier not say they were going to the mountain. If I could catch up with them, I'll teach them a lesson they will never forget."
Kevin could see that the window was open. If he leave through the door, some of the disciples might stop him from leaving. And yet, he wants to get stronger.
There was no burglary that would hinder him from passing through so he quickly jumped over the window and started running toward the mountain side.
Before he left, he made sure he take the gemstones and a few items with him. He kept on running without looking back.
As he fled towards the mountain, he made sure he avoided being seen by any of his father's disciples.
But little did he know that this was all planned by the wizard.
"Master, should we follow after him?" Bona asked.
"No, don't. He finally find a way to grant him a system, who am I to interfere? I hope you choose the path that suits you Kevin. I'll send a letter soon."
