Chapter Six: New Skill

< A new skill has been unlocked >

< Elven spiritual eyes, level 1 >

"A spiritual eyes?" Kevin exclaimed. "Like,.. what does it means??"

There wasn't any information about the spiritual eyes but an option had suddenly appeared under the skill, Elven Spiritual eyes.

< Do you wish to equip your new skill? >

"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 were displaying only colours of their auras. He could see different auras coming from the magic tools and equipment that were in the room. The magic book that was even on the table had it's own green aura. Everything around had different auras based on what they are and where they came from.

Kevin lifted his eyes towards the door and could see another colour of aura moving around. The aura was in shape of an human, so Kevin knew it was one of his father's disciple. Actually, he was thinking maybe it was perhaps his father and not his disciple but all in all, it was an Elf. The colour of every elf's aura is purple. The only thing that differs a strong elf to a weak elf is how glowing the purple aura is.

While Kevin was having fun scanning around his environment, he had suddenly spotted a different kind of Aura. It was yellow and was glowing brightly than every other yellow auras he had seen.

He moved towards the yellow aura and then pulled it out of where it was hidden. But he had noticed another aura again, beside it. It also have a yellow aura but it was glowing more brightly than the one he had first seen.

Kevin cancelled his spiritual eyes skill and looked at what he had found with his normal eyes.

As he held the two things in his hands, the system had suddenly notified him.

< Two different kinds of gemstones found >

Kevin separated both gemstones and then observed each differently.

While he looked at the more glowing gemstone which was now green in colour due to his normal eyes, the system had shown him the information about it and he can't help but read it.

< Emerald gemstone: [Mostly used by the new students to enter the Mage Academy, one gem per student. This gem was obtained from a beast called Horned Chameleon] >

"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 an horned chameleon. First, it is a dangerous, deadly beast that uses his tiny sharp horn that was placed on its head to slash at his enemy. Secondly, it also have the qualities of a Chameleon, if not advanced than a normal chameleon. It changes colour according to the surrounding it is, thereby making it difficult to spot easily.

Upon looking at the second type of gem which was red in colour physically, the system showed him another information on what it is.

< Ruby gemstone: A gemstone that could be extracted from a forest crab beast. It is usually located at their chest area. Ruby gemstone could be used to create swords and arrows, due to how strong and unbreakable it is. >

"What if I steal this crystals?" Xin smirked devilishly and as if the system was in parliament with 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 really want to steal it or not." Xin thought of stealing but was still unsure of doing it but he was later convinced to take the gemstones. 

"If I could catch up with those kids from earlier, they might tell me where the mage academy is. I need to get away from here, from my father." 

Xin could see that the window was opened. There wasn't any burglary that would hinder him from passing through so he quickly jumped over the window and started running towards the city. Before he left, he made sure he take the gemstones and a few items with him. Part of those items is the book of magic that his father wrote several magic tricks and spells. He then jumped over the window and kept on running without looking back.

As he ran towards the city, he made sure he avoided being seen by any of his father's disciples.
