Drake was going all out, no holds barred.
However, just as the cosmic energy rushed into his eyes he noticed something was different about it this time.
Whats going on! Whats all this? he cried inwardly.
Normally when he used his magic power to activate the magic eyes, it would only enhance and sharpen his vision and even when he activated it using the cosmic power it only doubled the strength of this effect. Yet, right now his magic energy was doing something he had never seen before.
On top of every person in his line of sight, details about that person like their name, age, height, weight, blood type and all kinds of data about them he could even plainly see their cultivation level and battle power. This really shocked him.
What the hell? Is something wrong with my eyes or did I awaken some kind of hidden system? I thought that was just stuff from anime and web novels. But then again magic powers and cultivation are also the stuff of fantasy but we have those in reality today so he shrugged trying to justify why systems shouldnt be impossible.
But why? What triggered this it cant really be a system can it? he tried deactivating his magic eyes briefly, but when there was no magic energy everything returned to normal, and when he put the normal light blue magic energy nothing happened, it was still the same old magic eyes that just enhanced his vision. Yet, when he used the cosmic vision again it came back still showing the new details.
It only works with cosmic energy and not without magic power or with ordinary magic energy. I guess thats useful to know. He thought. But why? My cosmic energy never did that before, what changed? Dont tell me it really is a system. Drake tried looking at the energy flowing in his body. Maybe he would see something, but there was nothing until he noticed something.
It was the aura the energy gave off, it normally wouldnt be noticed but as he was paying close attention he realized there really was a slight difference in the violet cosmic energy, it was giving of a special kind of charm that was different from what it did before. He decided to take a look into his seal to see if he was just imagining things.
Once his vision switched to the sea of stars he realized he was right, the energy in his body had a slightly different charm to the rest of the energy in the starry sea.
What is causing this? If its energy from my seal there shouldnt be differences. So where is the change coming from. Drake tried following the trail of the energy to its source.
And he found it. it was from the seven stars of energy that he could control, the whole energy of the seven stars emitted this special charm. Why?
It was then that Drake remembered that they had only started giving off this special charm earlier today just before he left home to come for this exam. He remembered it happened when he had arranged them in this new formation pattern.
He immediately tried zooming out so he could get a clear look at the formation from a Birdseye view.
As he looked over the star formation he thought it looked familiar. Where have I seen this star formation before hold on! Stars arrangement, isnt this the Libra constellation star arrangement?! he exclaimed.
He confirmed it after looking carefully, It really was the arrangement for the Libra constellation. Drake immediately recalled every bit of information he knew about the Libra constellation.
Libra was the constellation of the Scales, it had to do with Order. this is definitely it. The change in aura happened the moment the stars were put in this arrangement. Does this mean my power is related to stars and constellations? Drake was instantly excited and in his agitation a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind, he only managed to calm down after a long time.
Either way I cant do this right now, I have an exam to finish, Ill take care of this later. But, then what do I call this new power. Every great protagonist has to have a cool name for their powers. All Seeing Eye? No theres already a power like that I cant be copy cat, its not good for the company image. Hmm lets see Libra thats it. Since Libra is the constellation for Order Ill call this Eye of Order!.
Drake opened his eyes in reality a smirk on his face.
Right now a sea of stars swirled in his eyes looking like a swirling nebula. As he looked at the beast on the table all kinds of information about it started to arrange themselves in front of his eyes. Beast species, beasts cultivation level, battle power, time since death, cause of death, sequence of events that resulted in death gleaned from the clues available there was so much information that Drake almost burst into laughter.
As for Information not available from looking at the beast like what the beast had evolved from and all the likes he could get all that by simply using the Eye of Order to zoom in on the other students work.
Drake took a deep breath to calm himself, then raised his pen. There was only 27 minutes left for the exam to end, time to start mining. He was taking off all limiters for the rest of the test and as his pen touched down on the paper his hand turned into a blur as he wrote everything down as fast as he possibly could.
The lady sitting behind him was frightened when she saw how fast he was putting things down. What a monster! How can he write so fast, I thought he isnt a mage! Was he holding back all this time? Not good I have to hurry or hell leave me to far behind and I wont be able to catch up. She hastily enhanced her own vision and speed so she could copy as much as she could from Drake before time.
As for Drake, even though he knew she was copying his work, he decided to let her. She was a pretty girl, so It was her luck.
…
The exam finally ended and Drake proudly submitted his Answer booklet. He wasnt only satisfied with all he had written, but also with his new power. He walked out not even bothering to turn off the magic power in his eyes, scanning anything and everything.
The others were not out yet, so he decided instead of just standing around he might as well check out the business district, he could test his new power while he was at it.
He wanted to see the limit of the power of the Eye of Order.
…
He soon realized that the Eye of Order had limitations. One of the most obvious was that he couldnt see personal information.
For example he couldnt see the names of people he didnt already know the names of. Apart from people whose names he had learned in during the exams no one elses name among the people he passed by appeared. He thought it was probably because the Eye of Order had gotten their names from scanning the information they had written on their exam booklets. This was only practical since it would really be heaven defying if the Eye of Order could instantly know your name after one look.
But things like height, weight, battle power and other data that could be learned after scanning someone were still available.
…
As he walked and scanned around streets of the Business district, he relied mainly on reflex to dodge so he did not crash into another person since he was not looking at his front most of the time. However, if you walked on the shores of the beach you were bound to get your feet wet.
Ah!
Suddenly, he bumped into somebody he hadnt managed to dodge and a stack of papers they were carrying was dropped causing the sheets to be scattered on the floor.
Im sorry about that. The girl quickly apologized and hastily squatted to pack up what she had dropped.
No its my fault. I wasnt looking at where I was going. Let me help you get that. Drake shook his head and bent over to help.
Thank you! Sorry to trouble you.
Its no problem, like I said its my fault. You took the entrance exam? Drake asked trying to make small talk. He was still thinking about the Eye of Order and other abilities it might have, so he didnt even look at the girls face.
She replied, That is what were all here for today is it not?
Yeah! Im Drake by the way.
Luna!
Luna?! Did your mom pick that name? Let me guess you were named after the moon.
"How did you know?" her eyes widened in surprise, she was sure she had never met this guy before. Did he know her? It wouldnt be a surprise if he did.
But she was currently wearing a disguise, so how would he have recognised her?
He whispered, "I have a super power! Shh dont tell anyone, its a secret."
She giggled lightly. "What makes you think you have a super power?"
"Are you still talking to me."
"Yes."
"Then I definitely have a super power."
"Haha." Luna laughed when she heard this.
"So am I right?"
"Yes my mom named me after the moon."
"Hehe I told you I have a super power." He chuckled. "Here's the last one."
Drake finally stood and raised his head. It was only now that he was finally able to see her face, and he was instantly struck stupid.
