The blond man looked towards the door with annoyance in his face. He looked at Hana then towards Alex. His eyes opened wide when he saw Alex walk side by side with Hana. But just before he could say anything, Master Zhun Spoke.

"Hana, I see that you're just in time. Now come along, bring that lad to me. I want to end this as quickly as you want to end it too." Master Zhun smiled as he indicated for the two to come to him.

The two nodded and followed Master Zhun. Alex looked around at his surroundings and noticed many seemed annoyed by his presence, while some smiled at Alex.

Alex looked towards all of them and greeted them with a smile, 'It doesn't matter if they like me or not. A smile won't do that much harm.' Alex thought as he smiled.

He then looked towards where they were going, completely oblivious of the fact that some people looked even more annoyed after seeing Alex's smile.

As Alex and Hana entered the entrance, following Master Zhun. The entrance closed up behind them.

A woman walked towards the middle of the 6 other. She had purple, wavy long hair. She was tall and slim but she could see some defined muscles on her arms. The woman looked at the entrance and laughed, "I like him."

The blond man looked at the woman and said in a deep voice, "Midnight, What do you mean like him? As soon as he came, a smug smile appeared on his face. Is that what you mean? I bet he is a weakling as well. I'm just ready to laugh as soon as Master Zhun calls him a C-Rank." The man laughed as he looked towards the wall.

Midnight smiled, "Well, Gold. Are you just jealous of Hana? She did get a man who seems to ticks all the marks. I can't help but be a little jealous of Hana." Midnight had a sultry smile on her face.

"I can't help but think about stealing him for myself."

Hearing Midnight's words, Gold walked outside of the door. He was clearly very angry. "Gold, Don't be so annoyed. It doesn't matter what the minority says. They still are a minority. The majority have already said that they would want you as the future head so it doesn't matter if she has a new toy."

Gold looked towards the girl with anger but just before he could say anything about it, he heard another voice.

"Gold, You should relax a bit. Go and take a breather. I'm sure that by the time you calm down, they will be done with it all and you'll come back just in time to see everyone laugh at how powerless that man actually is." The man who spoke up was standing in the corner. His hair was white in color. The man, even though he had a big muscular built, seemed to be blending in properly with the background. Even if one were to search with full attention, they might not have even noticed the man.

Gold looked towards the man and smiled, "You're right. I shall go and take a breather. Don't want to show an angry expression towards the lower rank leaders. Thank you, Vis. " Gold said as he walked out of the room.

Vis nodded and watched Gold leave the room. He then looked towards the others, a smile on his handsome face.

-Within the entrance-

Alex and Hana walked close behind Master Zhun.

"Now tell me, boy. How powerful do you think you are?" Master Zhun said as he continued to walk in front of the two. Alex looked confused by Master Zhun's question."I… I'm not so sure. I guess I might be a bit more powerful or as powerful as Rhino… If I remember correctly, he was in a state of mind control. So he didn't think properly. If Rhino was using his brains properly, he would have won. So, for now… I guess I'm as powerful as him."

'Why does he sound distracted? Don't tell me…' Hana looked towards Alex with a confused expression.

Alex, even when he was answering the question seemed to be very distracted. He was looking at his prompts. Something bothered him.

[Illusion detected.]

[Does the player want to break the illusion?]

Alex was confused about what was happening. 'Now that I think more, this cave-like interior… We've been walking for some time now, this building didn't look large enough for something like this to continue for so long.

Alex looked towards the prompts but just before he was about to press it, he noticed that they were heading towards a shrine-like area.

Master Zhun sat on the shrine, a small white ball spun around him.

Alex looked towards Hana who seemed to have a calm expression, she seemed to have seen this before and was used to it. Alex also smiled when he thought about all of this being an illusion. He knew that he could break it any time so he would save it for later just in case.

"Come," Master Zhun said as he indicated Alex to come towards him.

Alex looked towards Hana, who nodded at him, telling him to go. Alex also nodded back and walked Toward Master Zhun.

"Sit." Master Zhun said as his wrinkly face curled up into a smile.

"Now, give me your hand and relax. The more you relax the better. I shall now look into your fate and see how far you can go."

Alex nodded and have to master Zhun his arm. Alex then closed his eyes and tried to relax as much as he could.

Master Zhun smiled and took Alex's hand, "Hmm, it will now begin." He said as a blue light illuminated from his finger.

Alex heard a prompt.

[teller powers detected. Teller's power, no hostile intent, however, it breaches the system. Powers closed.]

Alex furrowed his eyebrows when he heard the system.

Master Zhun looked towards Alex with a horrified expression. But quickly calmed down before anyone would notice. "Hmmm." He said as he continued to hold Alex's hand. But now the blue light was gone it just seemed to be an act.

"Hmm. Your future, I see many things. But at the same time, it seems pretty simple."

Alex opened his eyes and looked towards Master Zhun. A confused look in his eyes. "What about my abilities?"

Master Zhun looked towards Alex with a conflicted gaze and said, "Well, I don't know… It didn't show me your powers. I would normally see a certain shape when looking into powers. A powerful man had a smaller object. A weak one had a bigger object. The objects would be different, depending on their personality. But for you… I saw nothing… There was nothing at all. Like you weren't bound by any object."

Alex looked towards Master Han with a complicated gaze. He didn't know what to say. He looked at Hana, who also seemed to be confused.

"Well, I guess we will leave your awakened powers to time. As you get stronger, your rank will increase accordingly to what you show. So I guess it really isn't that bad." Master Zhun smiled as he looked towards Alex.

Hen then looked at Hana, I guess we can just end this here. The meeting is soon and that is more important. I just want to get it over with." He said as he got up from the ground.

Alex also stood up and walked towards Hana. 'I think he saw nothing because the system prevented him… But now, I'm more curious about who he is. To have powers that nearly breached the system, this man is dangerous. However, the system, said that he had no hostile intent so I guess I can trust him.' Alex made the decision to trust Master Zhun.

The same reason he didn't break the illusion, he had enough trust to believe that this wouldn't be harmful to him.

The three walked back to the cave like a tunnel from which they entered. 'But to make such an illusion… I don't think this is the powers of Master Zhun, I think this power belongs to someone else and I presume they must be trustworthy individuals if they make such illusions for Master Zhun.' Alex said to himself.

"It sure is lively." Master Zhun said as the doors opened. Alex looked outside and was surprised to see a lot more people standing outside, that there were when he walked inside. He looked towards Hana who seemed to sigh when she saw the people. "It seems like they also brought representatives of the lower ranks. I was told that there would only be high ranked awakened here but… I hope this just ends quickly."

Alex laughed when he heard Hana. But after seeing a certain prompt appeared, Alex's smiled turned into a horrified expression.
