145 Golden Vector “In the last class, we focused all our efforts on learning stealth. I am sure both of you used the past week to master the movements and techniques I taught you.” Jonathan saw Cain and Orin nodding before focusing on the girl. “Orin, show me Void Breath.” The girl nodded before going to the edge of the auditorium and taking a deep breath. Gradually her aura grew weaker as the Essence Wave inside her body slowly began to adopt a static state. Orin then walked to the other side of the room. Not only did her feet make no sound, but her body did not disturb the room’s airflow. Cain’s eyes narrowed as he focused on the girl, and he knew that if he lost her from sight for even a second, he would find it very hard to detect her presence again without using his Ego Wave. Void Breath was the name of the first level of Void State and consisted in hiding your Ego Wave, vital signs, sound, and even the effect you had on the environment, like a disturbance in the airflow. Finally, Orin reached the other corner of the auditorium before relaxing. There was sweat on her face due to the intense focus and physical effort that Void Breath demanded. Jonathan nodded and could tell that the girl was very talented, having reached that level of mastery over Void Breath in such a small window of time. ..... “Good. Cain, your turn.” Cain nodded at Jonathan before reaching the corner of the room and taking a deep breath. He activated Void Breath, hiding his presence before walking forward. Orin focused on Cain, and a small smile appeared in the corner of her mouth as she saw the young man’s Void Breath. Even though Cain’s mastery was very high, her domain over the technique was better. However, once Cain reached half of the journey, his eyes glowed with red light, and he practically stopped all his vital signs, and his Astral Wave froze. Orin’s eyes widened when she saw that, and her sudden shock made her lose sight of Cain. By the time she was able to perceive him again, he had already finished his walk. “Good. Cain, your mastery of Void Breath is inferior to Orin’s, but it reached a high enough level for the next part of the class.” Orin frowned when she heard that. Although she had a competitive nature, she did not like to receive fake praise. Still, she was smart enough not to argue with Jonathan about something so trivial. “I achieved a higher level of stealth not thanks to a greater domain over Void Breath, but the use of my willpower to exert control over my Astral Wave and body.” Luckily for her, while Jonathan did not see the need to explain his assessment, Cain noticed the look in her eyes and helped her, so her mind would not wander during the class. Orin’s eyes narrowed when she heard that. She, like everybody else, knew that Cain was a great genius, the mighties of the cadets when it comes to brute power, and it seemed that he just told him one of the keys behind his might. “Willpower?” “It is too early for you to focus on your willpower directly. Keep your mind on your assassin’s training, and you will see how your willpower improves drastically. I see potential in you, so if I like what I see for the end of the year, I will give you some personal guidance regarding the Ego Eternal Path of Power.” Orin’s eyes glowed. She had no idea what the Ego Eternal Path of Power was, but she definitely wanted it if it could grant so much power. Her eyes reached an even heightened focus as she prepared to break her limits. Cain saw that, and his judgment of Jonathan’s teaching skills grew even higher. ‘He knows how to stir someone’s desires so they can better themselves. Impressive.’ Jonathan gave the duo a moment of rest before carrying on. “Since both of you have reached the necessary level of stealth, it is time to focus our attention on practical applications along with domain over disguises and infiltration. When I talk about disguises, I am not referring to simply changing your appearance. That would only fool idiots and people that are either too afraid or ignorant about the individual you are pretending to be. You must learn your target’s behavior to the point that even their loved ones would mistake you for the real one. That is the epitome of disguise art. Infiltration is not any easier. You must be constantly aware of your surroundings, keeping an eye for the tiniest details while ensuring no one notices your presence. A true master could enter the most secure place in the empire, and no one would ever know he was there. For disguise, you will need to use a Wave Artifact, most commonly known as One Hundred Faces. As for infiltration, any decent Cloaking Helmet would do the trick.” Jonathan made a small pause at this point as he focused on the duo with a meaningful stare. “You can buy the One Hundred Faces and Cloaking Helmet through the military network. If you were to lose them, there is no need to worry since the Imperial Military Force would know you had one before, and they could help you track them.” Cain and Orin’s eyes narrowed as they heard that and understood that any legitimate purchase of those Wave Artifacts would raise several red flags. Jonathan knew that the duo entered his class not just to master assassination so they could use it against the Dark Races but for reasons of a personal nature. He did not care who they wanted to go against as long as they showed proper skills. — It was already Tuesday afternoon, and Cain’s eyes glowed with red light as he manipulated his Genetic Chambers during the Genetic Coder Class. While the rest of the cadets kept improving their skills with Bronze Vector, he worked with Gold Vectors. Camil’s teaching to Cain was very different from what she gave to the rest of the cadets. It was like a teacher explaining basic multiplications to an entire class while at the same time teaching a single student advanced algebra. None of the cadets dared to complain about Cain obtaining a higher education since they could barely understand what came from Camil’s mouth when she talked with him. By the time the class had ended, Cain had four capsules with Golden Vectors inside his space ring. They were good, with the best only having a 9% Flaw, but Cain knew that reaching 0% would be a long and hazardous journey. Cain left with Lurin and Ophelia, and before they would separate, he took out two red capsules and gave each one. “Those are Wave Viruses. They will improve your Wave Talent by 7 to 7.5% during five days. Make sure to have enough energy at your disposal before using them.” Lurin and Ophelia were surprised by the Wave Viruses, but Cain had already left before they could say anything. Cain smiled as he saw the duo trying to speak to him from a distance. He knew they would want to repay him, but he just wanted to help them. Of the ten Wave Virus, Cain used the best two on himself, gave the worst six to Apex so he could barter them for wave crystals and more Genetic Coder’s materials, and gifted the last two to Lurin and Ophelia. Once Cain reached his residence, he went through his usual ritual before entering Embryonic Breathing and allowing his mind to rest. After feeling energetic again, he took his Genetic Chamber and began to create Enhanced Wave Drive Genetic Chains. After a few hours, there were four Enhanced Wave Drive Genetic Chains in front of Cain, and he smiled as he saw the data from the best one. [Enhanced Wave Drive’s Genetic Chain: Increase of Wave Talent by 9.2%] Even though it was just 0.4% better than his previous best work, every single improvement mattered as it marked Cain’s mastery over Genetic Coding. Cain fused the four Genetic Chains with his Golden Vectors, making sure to pair them according to their level. Finally, he injected the Wave Virus made out of the Genetic Chain with 9.2% efficiency and the 9% Flaw Golden Vector into his chest. High fever and muscle spasms affected Cain for almost an hour before a sense of utter hunger attacked. Like before, he used wave crystals and Dragon Blood Grass to go through that process. When the genetic alteration was over, Cain smiled as he felt the increase in his Wave Talent. He commanded the Absolute Life Form System to give him an accurate assessment of his improvement, and soon a virtual screen appeared in his sight. [Scanning Vessel ... ... -Vessel’s ability to drive Wave has increased by 8.9% -Vessel’s current Wave Talent is Pseudo Tier 5]
