God's Eyes (Web Novel)
chapter-333

Less than a day passed since he found out more about the Mythic Garden and Shane explained everything necessary to know about how he can conceal his soul world.

In the beginning, Jason imagined it to be extremely difficult, but it was not different from concealing his mana core.

The only difference was that he leaked a little bit of his soul world instead of concealing it completely.

He was even able to conceal the affinities that floated within his soul world from being manifested which was definitely an advantage.

As such, after he got the hang of concealing his soul world partially, Jason couldn't help but become impatient as he rushed towards the Government-assessment hall that was situated in the center of the city.

Upon entering the large building whose walls radiated thick mana currents, he approached the reception without any hesitation.

The receptionist who saw a youth with black hair and golden eyes that were full of confidence walking toward him couldn't help but think frustratingly 'Another one?'

He sighed deeply and Jason wasn't even required to say anything as the receptionist asked with a faint, fake smile

"Hello Sir, I assume you're here for the Hidden-Prodigy assessment, or am I wrong?"

Hearing this, Jason couldn't help but lift his brow.

It seemed like the receptionist asked this question several thousand times.

His gaze showed how bored and annoyed he was which was a big difference from his faint, faked smile.

However, that was not something Jason cared about as he said

"Yes, that's true. I want to make an appointment for the Hidden-Prodigy assessment!"

Looking into Jason's eyes that radiated pure kindness at the moment, the receptionist shook his head before he said

"There is no need for an appointment. It won't take long either way! Please verify your identity first, if Sir wants to do the assessment immediately!"

'Won't take long?' Jason asked inwardly, but this was good because he wouldn't want to be observed and tested for several hours either.

As such he nodded his head and showed him the new Identity he received, before he simply said "Great, where should I go?"

The receptionist who was talking to him before informed his colleague that he was testing Jason now before he stood up

"Just follow me."

Following the receptionist, as he said, they entered an elevator that brought them to a lower floor, underground that was humongous in size and completely white.

In the center of the room were two orbs, which Jason was already familiar with.

One of them was the soul-awakening orb that could also be used as a tool to assess someone's soul world later and the other orb's name was unknown to Jason.

However, it was the same orb used by Till to determine one's control over mana and the accuracy.

The height of the floor they entered was more than 20 meters and Jason asked himself if he should just fill the whole room with his soul world to get a good grade, when the receptionist said.

"Let's not waste too much time, alright? We will start with the martial art proficiency assessment! Please demonstrate two of your martial art techniques. The AI will determine your proficiency and grade you according to your age."

Hearing this, Jason could tell that he had to give his best because he was 16 years old according to his new Identity instead of 14.

Smiling lightly, he began to wonder if his proficiency with the martial art technique he learned was good for a 16-year-old youth.

He was sure that he would be considered a comprehension prodigy with his real age, but two more years of training could make a great difference.

As such, Jason pondered for a moment which martial art technique he should demonstrate.

In the end, the answer was easy and not something he would normally ponder about.

He just had to show the two techniques he was the most proficient in!

'Why am I suddenly so nervous?' Jason asked himself, knowing that there was not really a need to be nervous.

He was confident that even if his martial art proficiency was not considered prodigious as a 16-year-old youth, he would be able to get bonus points for the other exams.

With that in mind, Jason started to run circles through the room before he started to exert the weightless steps technique which increased his speed by roughly 60%.

From one corner to another he barely needed a second and pushing using the walls to push himself away as a means to not crash into the wall, Jason ran a whole circle.

Without waiting for the AI or the receptionist to say anything Jason decided that it would be better for him to demonstrate another Tier-1 he had a perfect mastery instead of one of the Tier-2 techniques he began to learn some time ago.

Taking out the Viridi-Starstream dagger from his spatial ring, he switched into the basic combat stance of the Transience-Strike martial art technique he learned a long time before he exerted it.

Circulating a large amount of mana through his body while showing sequence after sequence, his short show only took one minute before he halted in his tracks.

One sweat pearl poured down his temples as he heard the AI's announcement

[Peak-Tier-1 Movement technique detected, Perfect Mastery, Grade: Above-average]

[High-Tier-1 close combat technique, Perfect Mastery, Grade: Average(+)]

Hearing this, Jason could only nod his head, thinking that the assessment might be more difficult than he expected

'Only real prodigies will probably be able to enter the Mythic Garden, right? At least it looks like that to me' He thought before he turned towards the receptionist who looked like he wanted to abandon Jason right off the bat.

"Should we continue with the next tests or does Sir wants to know how exactly the AI made the assessment?"

It was as if the receptionist was already accustomed to youths complaining about their martial art proficiency result which caused Jason to smile lightly as he confidently said

"Not really, I'm good to go with that result. We should continue, I want to read the information about the Mythic Garden as soon as possible!"

Lifting an eyebrow, the receptionist began to wonder how the youth in front of him was so confident after his martial art proficiency test result was between average and above average.

However, he couldn't be bothered about that and just nodded his head before saying

"Next, we will test Sir's mana accuracy, sensitivity, and control! Please take the left orb right in front of you into one or two hands, and untie as many mana threads inside it within one minute. This test will start immediately after Sir touches the orb!"

Nodding, Jason approached the left orb without hesitation because his mana eyes already detected the main issue with the mana threads within the orb as he touched it with one hand.

Inserting his mana to move the mana threads and untie them, 50 seconds passed before Jason stepped back.

"Sir, you have 10 seconds left." The receptionist said without sounding too hurried about it because he thought that Jason encountered the main issue of this test when the AI announced.

[Mana mastery test was successfully solved in 51 seconds. Grade: Superior!]

Jason smiled seeing the receptionist's reaction who showed a proper reaction for the first time as he looked at him in astonishment.

Even if he wanted to, Jason couldn't suppress himself as he said with a faint grin on his face

"Should we move to the soul assessment?"
