Chapter 1123: Handling energy circulation
[OP: ]
[{ It’s not easy, big brother. She knows when someone lies. }]
[{ Did you know how it happens though? I mean, there are many ways to detect if someone is lying or not, like by their physical changes or the changes in their mind.
Did something like that be detected? How did her eyes know you were telling the truth? }]
From the start, Eon wanted her to find these cubes and go after the room that, in fact, was hidden away by his master.
It was not his intention at first since she in fact found the training cubes by pure coincidence, however, it was a good opportunity so he asked Zoe to go and help her when Rein asked him about these cubes.
[{ It was not that simple, big brother. While I could not tell exactly how those eyes interpreted it, it seems the way they see the truth is different from how the usual skills work.
Think of it like this… the eyes evaluate the very fabric of reality in real-time. They have a set understanding of what is real and what is true. They take it as base fact and interpret the information that is obtained from the environment and then, in a way that allows them to, they show it to her.
It’s like someone who knows something diluting a higher level of information into pieces that a child could eat. However, to do that, I do not actually understand the processing that goes on. }]
Eon had more than one reason to send Zoe and stir up this conflict with his sister as well as his fiancee.
Through this ’assignment,’ he wanted her to find the places that he could not. Not only that, he also wanted her to distract her mind from everything that was going on right now.
[{ Ah… I see. So it’s more complex than we imagined. }]
Since she was still getting adjusted to the time and space in this place, instead of staying in one place, it was much better to go around and look at the different floors.
But since it was difficult for her, he did not want to ask her to do that himself. It had come from her, from inside. So, since the opportunity presented itself, he pointed her in that direction.
Also, since Zoe could see the world in her own unique manner since she knew how things worked and how there were various elements of the world that only divine beings like her could understand, she was the best at evaluating what was going on with her powers.
[{ At first, in the dormant state, the powers were simple. The eyes could read the properties of the matter as it was perceived by her and understood by the world around her.
Then, after getting her unique title, her powers evolved into something that not only had a will of its own, it could now perceive the elements of reality as well. That’s when she started seeing the people’s actual abilities and followed their connective strings.
However, since the reality and the truth that exists within the various fields of Reality, what her eyes could perceive expanded further and she can now see things on a level that is difficult to even prove the existence of." }]
Eon now knew that if she continued on with the way she was growing, there would come a time when she would be able to ’see’ everything at once, and perhaps, there would come a time when she could see much more than just this world and the universe that this world existed in.
[{ Right. I’m even more worried about her now, big brother. }]
Zoe could not possibly stay mad at her for using her for something so small. He was ultimately looking out for Rein and she did not mind this. Even though she was angry at him at first, she answered all the questions she asked him, and since she had seen and understood the process through which Rein perceived her truthfulness, she also had an idea as to how her eyes might be working.
[{ Worries are understandable, Zoe. However, her powers to see things and her inability to perceive time in a way that flows in any location– the way she only perceives time in a linear form– might not be related after all.
We predicted both things had some kind of deeper connection, but she might just coincidentally possess the ability to see and perceive, as well as the inability to think of the flow of time in any other form. }]
Right now, Eon was teaching Anna how to handle her Arcane energy once again. It was a lesson that had been going on for a few days now and it was going to continue for a little longer as well.
She was meditating right now, understanding the way her energy circuits had been formed. She was trying to understand the way her inner energy channels would connect to the core using the {Understanding} skill that she possessed.
She was also trying to keep her mind calm, not mixing in any of the environmental energy in the pure Arcanum that was present inside of her.
It needed extreme concentration, she was doing this in a certain closed dorm made of a unique magic formula that even Eon did not understand.
They were on the training floor dedicated to training various aspects of one’s power. Here, they had specific dorms like these to help one train with different kinds of energies.
Eon did not have to do anything right now, at least until she learned how to channel her energy throughout her body and take it out of her core to use it for the various kinds of magic and arcane arts.
[{ I understand. For now, let’s watch after her and see how fast her abilities grow. We will do something to test her in a few days to see if there are any changes, and after a month, let’s evaluate her again to see the bigger picture. }]
The matter regarding Rein’s problems was something he could not do much about. All he could do with his limited understanding of her powers was to help her somehow cope with it and understand it section by section.
She was an anomaly, or at least she thought she was one. The inability to understand the timelow that they considered to be a part of her innate powers might actually be something like a side effect of possessing those eyes.
And if it really was a side effect, there was bound to be some kind of cure to make her feel better. He would find it if that is the case…
If not, he would look into this a little more and find the answers to those questions, as well as questions related to his own powers, in the new sections that had been opened to her in the great library on the higher floor.
[{ I understand… big brother. Haaa… don’t push Anna too far. She can be a little dumb, so instead of being harsh so that she grows faster, be more considerate of her at least.
She might not grow as fast as you think. }]
With Anna’s unique skills, growing faster was not a possibility but a fact. Her eyes were not simply shiny and precious, they gave her the ability to feel and understand emotions.
In addition to being the owner of the Jeweled Eyes, she also had unique skills that helped her understand various aspects of the world and the things around her.
She also had high-level affinities for various things, Arcane energy arts being one of them. It was simply a matter of time before she could use all kinds of techniques that even someone like them had taken years to master.
[{ I know… }]
Eon wanted to protect her. He wanted her to have a childhood that he sadly could not. He wanted her to experience the brighter side of the world before she could see the darkness that was present everywhere.
She was his little sister. The being that added the most sense to his existence and gave meaning to this hectic life of his. However… he knew she would not have all that if continued like this.
[{ She’s going to learn the energy circulation and handling method in a few days. }]
The speed at which she was inferring the energy channels within her body was pretty crazy even to someone like him who had never needed to do it.
Still, he knew how difficult it was. If he compared it to opening the energy blockages for his Solnova, she would have come quite close to opening the first blockage already.
[{ …but didn’t you say it would take at least a month even for her? }]
[{ Seems like we underestimated the desperation of this little one as well. }]
Despite all her abilities and gifts, the main reason Eon was so worried about her, was because of how much she wanted the powers, because of how desperately she wanted to do the things that the ones around her could.
She wanted to cast magic like Alf, Eon, and Rein. She wanted to use swords like Carla and Chry. She wanted to use energies like Aura like her grandpa and dad could.
She even wanted to use all the powerful artifacts like her mom… but she could not have those things unless she was strong enough.
’She did not have any way to get stronger quickly until now.’

He knew about her longing.
But since he did not know how great that longing actually was, he could not stop worrying even if he wanted to…
