Chapter 08

Hearing the words of the ghost in front of him, Izaki's eyebrows furrowed and his expression darkened.

"Why do you say I'm stupid?"

"Of course, I said that because low-rank humans like you are running around in the Hika Mountains. Do you know, this is the same as looking for death?!"

the ghost in front of Izaki said excitedly. He gave that statement which made Izaki wake up a little.

"It's quite complicated to say because I arrived there immediately and only recently left the place," Izaki said in a tone that was hard to explain.

these two ghosts looked at each other in confusion.

"So that's how it is, then why not clean yourself first? Look at the blood everywhere." The ghost right behind Izaki said in a light tone.

"I forgot about this, but is it okay for humans to enter Yokan City?" Izaki asked while looking at the ghost in front of him.

"Of course not, this is strictly prohibited for humans who are still in Rank E and F."

Izaki was a little stunned because he didn't know such a rule existed. "So, only Ranks E and F are prohibited while Rank D and above don't get any ban at all?"

"Yes, because Ranks E and F have not awakened what is called spirituality. If someone does not have spirituality, then their lifespan will be taken away."

Izaki immediately understood why only Ranks E and F were banned. then, he looked at the surrounding area and asked directly.

"Is there a pool nearby for me to get rid of the blood stuck in my body?" Izaki asked the ghost in front of him.

"Come with me," said the front ghost with a gesture. however, before leaving he looked at the other ghosts. "Kai, you guard the gate first. I will take this human to clean the body."

"Okay, Kei." The ghost that was previously behind Izaki now disappeared after receiving the order.

Izaki is still shocked by the disappearance of the ghost named Kai. He looked at the ghost nearby and asked in surprise.

"Is that one of the techniques that ghosts have?"

"Yes, we call it a short transfer. a kind of teleportation, but only within twenty meters."

Hearing that explanation, Izaki nodded and then he followed the ghost to the nearest pond.

It didn't take long for the two of them to reach a clear pool. even the soil that turned into mud disappeared in an instant, leaving no dirt at all.

"This water..." Izaki said in a tone full of surprise.

"Pure water, this water will remove dirt. Whether it is difficult or easy to clean, everything disappears in this water."

"It should be where humans exist and this is the most basic thing that existed in this world even before the portal opened."

Izaki was stunned, then he thought again and asked, "Did things like spiritual and other things exist before portals?"

"Yes, what brought about the change from the portal was awakening. Originally spirituality was the power of each race. Then each race created its techniques."

"We Ghost Race created that teleportation technique and this is no longer a secret, as for you, you should know the techniques of your race."

The ghost looked at Izaki after telling him about the power in the era before the existence of portals.

Izaki scratched his head, he didn't know what the true strength of the Human Race itself was. "I don't know, what is human strength?"

"Have you forgotten your memory? Matters related to strength in the past, before awakening were the most basic lessons of every race."

"Did you not know this?" The ghost asked again with furrowed brows.

Izaki nodded, then he began to clean his body which was stained with blood from fighting the snake before.

"Okay, humans themselves have a special technique, namely body strengthening."

"Humans were born weak compared to other races, so they created body enhancements to increase their strength to match them."

"However, this only matches physique so it doesn't match each race's unique strength." The ghost explains in detail the special abilities.

Izaki, who heard this, was certainly not angry because he thought humans were weak.

“Body strengthening… I haven't studied anything like that at all.” Izaki said in a light tone.

"Is that so, it's quite possible because you don't have any spiritual energy yet." The ghost said in a light tone.

"So, it is necessary to reach Rank D to obtain Spiritual Energy."

"Yes, increase your Rank and learn Spiritual Energy." The ghost answered with a smile.

"Thank you for the information." Izaki thanked him and he had now finished cleaning himself.

"Are you going back to Maroc City?" The ghost asked Izaki while looking at him curiously.

"Yes, I've had enough rest timeMoreover, I need to buy a house there later." Izaki answered while nodding his head.

"Oh, so that's how it is. I'm going back to the gate and before that, how about we introduce ourselves?"

"No problem, my name is Izaki, an ordinary young man," Izaki said with a big smile.

"My name is Kei, and the previous one is Kai. We are twins. The only difference is our favorite color."

Kei introduces himself and his relationship with the other ghost.

"Then, I'll go first," Izaki said while looking at the sky which was slowly entering nighttime.

"Okay, be careful on the road. Especially at night, monsters will wander around the Yokan City route with Maroc. But it doesn't matter, the average monster is probably at level one to three."

"Thank you for the reminder. I'll go first," said Izaki, then he turned around and sped away towards Maroc City.
