Chapter 70 - Newfound Powers (1/2)
Whoosh!
In an instant, the aura that Aurus normally exuded intensified by two times thanks to him being accepted into the alliance. Even Aurus could feel the changes in his power as he looked around his surroundings.
”This is too surreal...” Aurus felt like he destroy a mountain with one Spirit Spear, but he knew that he did not have that capability since that would only be possible in the Animate level according to his memories. ”Herellia, is this norma—”
As he was about to ask Herellia about this feeling of ultimate power, Aurus saw something that made stop in his sentence midway.
'Herellia [Alliance Leader]?' This was the thing Aurus saw, specifically it was hovering above Herellia's body. After seeing that, he closed and opened his sense of vision a few times, and the text was still above her body.
He then decided to look over his body and noticed that the same text was hovering him, albeit changed to suit him.
'Aurus [Executive]'
”Hm?” Herellia could not help but hem as she heard Aurus' question that was cut off midway. Of course, she could not help but stare at Aurus because a holographic screen was levitating in front of his body.
She tried to control her excitement of knowing that her intuition was true about Aurus, and decided to lightly cough as she noticed that Aurus was also out of it. ”Ehem. What were you about to ask me, Aurus?”
”Eh?” Hearing his name being called, Aurus snapped back to reality as he noticed that Herellia was looking at him. He took a few seconds to recall the question he had in mind and then asked, ”Is it normal for newly admitted members to feel a sense of overwhelming power?”
”Yes, yes it is,” Herellia replied with an affirmative aura. ”Do you have any more questions? If not, let's go back to the entrance since all of the alliance members have now gathered there according to Horell.”
”Oh...ah...” Since Herellia told him that there were people...well sticks waiting for him, Aurus decided to ask the most obvious question after staring off into nothing. ”Why is your name hovering above your body?”
”Ah that.” Herellia could not help but stiffly chuckle. ”This is so we can differentiate enemies from alliance members. Once you enter the hall, you'll see a ton of this so I advise you to disable that in your mind.”
Aurus let out an affirmative aura after that and willed his mind to remove the fact that a line of text was hovering over their bodies. After doing so, he looked at Herellia and noticed that the text hovering over her body was gone now. ”Okay, I'm done, let's go back.”
Herellia let out an affirmative aura after that and turned around to hover out of the alliance lobby, heading back to the large hall of the alliance base. As for Aurus, he activated [Gale Hover] before following Herellia from behind.
...
As they were travelling back to the hall, Herellia could not scream inwardly from excitement. 'What the heck! He actually has a system!'
Ever since the Goddess of Kinship blessed her, she was bestowed with a system that allowed her to grow at an incredibly fast rate compared to her peers. After growing to X-grade and establishing an alliance, she then decided to experiment with her system. Topics like the system being able to be seen by others and such were tackled by her, getting to a few fruitful conclusions.
'Since I can see his system, then that means...those who don't have the system cannot see the system I have or Aurus has,' Herellia said to herself inwardly. She looked back at Aurus and noticed that three holographic screens were hovering in front of Aurus' body, as if he was engrossed in the system.
'You know what? I'll tell him that I have a system later,' Herellia said to herself before fully focusing on heading towards the hall.
What she did not know was that...Aurus already knew she had a system thanks to the inheritance.
...
”I received two active skills and a passive skill from joining alliance,” Aurus murmured to himself. He tried to check his notification log and find out what the names of the skills he received were.
”Identify [Alliance Call],” Aurus commanded inwardly to the system.
Ding!
Not long after, the system completed Aurus' order.

”Hmm...I don't know where this will be useful.” Aurus tried to think up of situations where he could possibly use it, but got nowhere since no situation popped up at all.
”What about the other active skill?” Aurus continued to talk to himself. ”Identify [Judgement].”
Ding!
