Chapter 386: First time she uses that ability (1)
The next morning, the First Academy dawned with less hustle and bustle than the day before. Practically no people could be seen walking the streets of the Academy; most of them had already left for the place where the Graduation Ceremony would take place, the Capital City.
It was not too far from the Academy, but people left days in advance to have a place to stay. As one of the most important events for the students and their families, naturally, a lot of people gathered.
But this year is different. The number of people in the Capital City was abnormally larger than in previous years because this year there would be two notable changes.
The first one is that Sophia Murphy would be graduating from the Academy, so she would be handing over her Student Leader position and also her Final Test score would be revealed.
This Final Test is not just anything. It's not a written exam; it's not an oral exam. It has nothing to do with the academic circle, for sure, but it is something that everyone pays attention to because everyone will have to go through it. Students or not, everyone will have to pass the 'Final Test', which is taken when the person is between 25 and 35 years old.
These Tests receive another name: The Path to Greatness behind Death.
Being the most difficult tests a vampire has to face in his life, they naturally receive a lot of attention. Even more so because there is a Ranking based on these tests, which is based on scores. Most want to see what the score of the Heirs is to measure it against the current generation of 'normal' people.
Sophia is the penultimate Heir remaining to know her score, which would naturally attract a lot of people's attention.
On the other hand, many people were paying so much attention to this Graduation because the last of the Heirs would be taking the student leadership today. But many people wondered, is this girl worthy? Will she really be able to fulfill her role at the Academy?
Sophia Murphy was the Heir with the lowest growth percentage of the last 3 generations, and it's all because her first ability does absolutely nothing to help her grow. Despite that, she was still the undisputed Student Leader of her generation. Her power earned her that title.
Is Alice the same? As far as is known, when she participated in the Battle a few years ago, she was just touching 7,000 power.
Is her current strength above 10,000? Did she get her first ability finally or could she really be the embarrassment of the Heirs?
Many people wanted to know this and so another number of people came with that in mind.
That made the Capital City abnormally crowded with people walking back and forth rapidly.
The place where the Graduation would be taking place belonged to the Academy and was a huge auditorium.
Many people had already arrived there and were getting ready.
But Matt and Isla had just arrived in the City and were flying over it.
Matt smiled as he saw that they were not noticeable to anyone's eye. "Flying over the Capital City can be punishable by jail time. How do you feel about being a party to something like that?" Matt asked, smiling softly as he looked at Isla on his arm.
She smiled sheepishly, but her face was sweating. "It's the first time I've used the ability on so many people. I didn't think it was so powerful; it even seems to fool the perception of people in the Castle." She replied.
She looked below; in the streets and squares, there were too many people. "And I think I'm fooling too many people. I won't be able to keep it up for long if I go on like this. The best thing would be to come down." She spoke.
Matt nodded. "This event seems to be bigger than I expected. I never imagined a graduation could attract so much attention. It seems I underestimated Sophia Murphy and Alice's fame." After saying this he began to descend and soon hit the ground.
"Focus your power alone in front of us. We will enter that place while using your power; I don't want people bothering me while I'm going in."
"Hn, okay." She nodded with a little sound and raised her hand to shake it lightly.
In her mind only a huge map of the City remained, where she had to choose the street they were on. Because the ability was already being used, she didn't need to deactivate it; she just had to simplify it to one place.
Matt could feel all these changes. 'Amazing. It has a range of several kilometers, ' Matt said.
'Your becoming a spirit made the range of the ability so great that I'm amazed. You really have become a Perfect Entity, as you affect people with a much greater power than you as well."
Isla smiled at these statements. "Does it affect you? I don't think I can find you within my domain. It's as if you don't exist. Is it because you created it?" she asked.
Matt smiled softly. "You'll know soon enough." He replied and started walking.
As they walked through this street with so many people, people indirectly made space for them despite no one seeing them. Many pushed and shoved each other and some came to blows.
While others who were talking about something would suddenly change their conversation when Isla passed them.
This was the effect of her ability.
A mass Mental Disorder, an ability capable of creating chaos where there is order.
This ability could not be described by Mei and so she was trying to study it. Because within the Five Types of Spirits, there is none where such an ability could enter!
The knowledge that the encyclopedia gave Matt didn't have either, and according to the Spirit Essence... This was possibly a new type of spirit. But according to the same Essence, such a type of spirit could not be too broad.
That means it was a type of spirit limited to one thing: Its power.
That's why Matthew called it a Chaotic Spirit, a new type of spirit that he should investigate in the near future. Was his creation luck? Or was he really capable of creating spirits that break the Nature of Spirits?
