Appeared Out Of Nowhere

"You are related to the university's board members!? " Asked Asher in disbelief.

He never thought that Ian had connections in this university.

Moreover, it's with the board members of the university,

They are all important people in the university and are the most trusted aids of Osiris!

What does that mean? Even if their strength is inferior to Osiris, it is far beyond just surpassing Mortal Stage!

Some of them are even part of the World Association! - one of the Sixteen Major organizations.

Ian stared at the astounded Asher and let out an awkward laugh, but inside Asher's reaction confused him.

' Why is he overreacting...' Thought Ian.

To him, those board members aren't a big deal.

Not only did he have no information about them, but he also didn't care.

Aeric, Asher, and Rue are far more essential for the main plot than those so-called 'important' people.

"Anyway, it's getting late... good night," Said Ian; He had some small talk with them until the entrance.

Ian waved at them and walked out of the bungalow.

Asher gazed at Ian's back until the door was closed shut.

Ring!

His phone vibrated; Asher checked it for a minute before his face became serious.

His previous Happy go lucky and Benevolent atmosphere disappeared, and a solemn aura replaced it.

"What happened? " Asked Aeric, noticing the change in Asher's Aura.

Asher didn't reply and went back to his room; He opened his laptop and searched for something for a moment.

Aeric walked beside him and stared at the laptop screen.

"So It's like this huh..." muttered Asher; His eyes started wide towards the document on the screen, and he soon deleted it.

"What is it? " Asked Aeric.

Asher didn't reply to Aeric right away; he appeared to be lost in thought and only responded after a few moments.

"I once asked my family to investigate about Ian... It's blank. There is no information about him at all. It's as if he appeared out of nowhere. " Said, Asher.

Indeed!

Ian appeared out of nowhere! At least for the records in Europe.

After all, Ian 'teleported' to the University of Novaetas, which was on a different continent altogether.

Asher's family - Crowley family is a secretive family dominant in Europe; Hence they can't and didn't bother to investigate Asia, where Ian used to stay at,

"Maybe... his support isn't just any board member, he must have a great background to be able to hide from my investigation. "

Aeric nodded and returned to the lab; he still had to learn a few more Abilities before he could perfect his current grade and naturally breakthrough.

At Privellaged Dorms.

.

Ian returned to his room and smiled in satisfaction.

Today was great!

Not only did he break through, he even got to eat until his stomach was bloated.

' Staying near Asher can increase my luck... ' Thought Ian, confirming his previous suspicions.

Ian immediately wanted to move into Asher's Bungalow and leech out of his luck. However, he changed his mind after recalling his current circumstances.

' I am still staying at the university as Von Griffin...'

Osiris, suspicious about his identity, wanted to use him as a disposable tool. He gave Ian that identity to act as bait to fish out some traitors,

However, Osiris is supporting him right now.

This identity is not only troublesome but downright useless; Maybe an average student in the Gifted class has more freedom and advantages than him.

Due to this identity , he had to use tunnels when he wanted to go somewhere, and his activity range also got severely limited.

He might seem scared of death and overly cautious, but it was necessary.

' I will definitely die if I didn't do all of that.' Though Ian;

Ian shuddered, recalling the tragic events of geniuses dying at university.

He didn't want to be a cold corpse without knowing how he died.

Even if he couldn't die due to his regressions, He- at the very least needed to know who killed him to avoid death.

Ian shook his head; He didn't want to think about these anymore.

He concentrated for a moment and started reading the inheritance.

After reaching Orange grade, he could start learning the Abilities for this grade.

There are many side abilities recorded in the Inheritance; However, only two of them caught Ian's attention.

They were - 'Cognitive Derivation' and 'Thought Reading'

The remaining 16 or so abilities were derived from these Two Main abilities.

In Higher Grades, just as a State was divided into Abilities for different Grades, Abilities would be divided into side abilities.

Ian wasn't dumb enough to not even understand the Abilities in the Earlier Grades, so he didn't even bat an eye toward those side abilities.

Maybe he would start learning Side Abilities from Blue or Purple grade, but not now!

He might be unsuitable for Mind Cultivation, but he can at least comprehend how to use these abilities!

' Cognitive Derivation' seemed complicated, so he shifted his attention to Thought Reading.

' This is an advanced version of Emotion reading... should be easy right? '

'Thought Reading' and 'Emotion Reading' follow similar principles.

Unlike other Mind practitioners who practice these Abilities using their senses in coordination with Mindpower, Ian can directly see them with the help of True Vision - a huge advantage over other Mind practitioners.

' Hmm, there is no need to sleep. I will start practicing this ability right now. ' Thought Ian, gazing at the clock.

And Ian thought of the best method he could practice Thought Reading!

He walked in front of the mirror and looked at himself.

' Will this work? ' Thought Ian, skeptical.

What he wanted to do was simple. Since he didn't have any targets to practice Thought Reading, Ian decided to make himself the target- to be precise, his reflection in the mirror.

For him, the world soon turned Black and white and his pupils once again became Ash grey.

Ian concentrated on his reflection in the mirror- particularly on the Orange Aura emitted by his body.
