Chapter 2 - The Gifts Of Duality (2/2)

”Sigh, anyway, I know that you wouldn't disturb me for something trivial. What is so urgent?”

”Yes Sir, Firstly, a lower planet has been added to the system.”

”Oh my, that is indeed quite rare.” Modus said as he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

”I am unable to access the system to ascertain the reason why. I came to consult with you Lord Modus.”

”Hmm. Let me see.”

Modus closed his left eye and began to move his left hand from left to right. He could see things that Adelda couldn't. His expression changed many times. Finally, he opened his eye and threw a rock to Adela. The rock appeared out of nowhere, but Adela caught the rock and ignored its sudden appearance as though she knew it would happen.

”Inside that, you will find an explanation as to why the earth was deemed worthy to become a part of the system. Now –I hope the other reason is important enough to disturb my meditation, otherwise, I will be angry.” Modus toyed with Adelda in a playful tone, but she knew that he was very serious.

Adelda swallowed and said, ”Sir, normally I would have approached another system administrator with this issue –However, before you left for your meditation, you told me that I must only disturb you if an interesting user appears. I believe I have found one.”

Modus grinned like a child, yet somewhat sarcastically. ”Oh? What did they do? This they gain a rare ability, or level up quickly? Perhaps they unified an upper world? If it's any of these, I will be somewhat disappointed.”

”Sir, I assure you, they did something far more interesting and rare. Please look at the user called Peerless Dao Master on Earth. He is a boy of 16, in the city of Cardiff.”

Modus grew suspicious of the anticipation on Adelda's face. He closed his left eye and waved his left hand abut again.

”Hmm, His beginner stats are normal. His class is –oh –Water Meister? It is rare are indeed. That is a Duos Class with much potential that is usually wasted. Gaining a Duos Class, in the beginning, is interesting, but I don't see why you are acting so smug about this.”

”Sir, look at his second list of parameters.”

”Second parameters? That means that he intentionally chose a Duos Class. He must be smart –interesting. Keep an eye on him Adelda. If –”

”Sir I apologize for interrupting, but you are missing the point! Please look at the parameters he has requested for his second class.”

Modus was irritated that he was cut off in the middle of his sentence. No one would dare interrupt him. However, he decided to see what this woman was being so persistent about.

”Sigh –Fine, let me see...what!”

In surprise and amazement, Modus stood up gawking at what he was reading. As soon as he finished reading, he started to pace back and forth in the small room, mumbling to himself. He stopped, and then grinned devilishly at his thoughts.

”Adelda, I assume no one else knows about this?”

Adelda nodded fiercely.

”Good! I will take full control of the conquest system in this world; I will also take charge of this boy and his class. You will be promoted three ranks and from now on, you will work directly under me, and no one else. ”

”Th ... the... three ranks?”Adelda stuttered out her words in bafflement.

She was so thrilled, her body shook. She was just a minor system controller. She had just been promoted three ranks, because of the discovery she made. It could take centuries to be promoted just to a sub-rank! She immediately expressed her gratitude and handed the control of the Earth's system to Modus before being told to leave the small room.

In his dark room, Modus grinned as he sat down. His eyes lit up with excitement.

”A Dao of the sword. Huh, he didn't ask for power, but understanding. If I do this right, this boy may change everything. Ha! Let's see –he needs some sword Qi –Stances –Flexibility. It seems that Adelda forgot to check this boy's history. It's a good thing I didn't, hehe. What a frightening –”

Modus' voice trailed off while he closed one eye and started waving about using both of his hands this time. His hands moved so fast that they were blurs.

After a half an hour of waiting, Will finally heard the sound he was waiting for.

”Ding! Congratulations, you have been awarded the class –”
