Chapter 156 - The Blue Crystal (1)
'Someone has been watching me ever since I stepped into this house. Even now, my Sixth Sense is operating to its fullest potential, yet I can only feel that someone is observing my every movement at all times. Still, I cannot pinpoint out where or which direction exactly the guy is watching me from...'
Jeremy thought to himself in annoyance after hearing Kahn's demand to show his Status Window.
He had been prepared for this anyway, so he didn't feel worried at all.
Instead, the thing that had been bugging Jeremy was the feeling of being watched by a dangerous predator after he came inside this wooden house some minutes ago.
*Sigh...*
Jeremy suddenly sighed audibly after Kahn's words died down.
It appeared that Jeremy's sigh had managed to attract everyone's attention as most people were looking at him, waiting for his response now.
They were wondering what Tommy's reactions would be. After all, the man had been asked to show his Status Window to a stranger.
Some people even wanted to voice their opinion to protect Tommy, not wanting him to do something against his own will. However, Jeremy's voice resounded out before those people could speak anything up for him,
"After you see nothing wrong within my Status Window, will you this matter go?"
Jeremy asked while looking fixedly at Kahn as within his mind was another thought entirely,
'After seeing my Status Window, hopefully, you will lose interest in me and won't be watching me again, damned cupid.'
After everyone had heard Jeremy's words, some felt surprised at his daringness to show his own Status Window, while some felt that it was customary to show that useless interface if it could solve such a big problem.
At the end of the day, Earthlings were still newbies and didn't know anything much about Ortus, so some of them ought to view the Status Window as a somewhat useless thing.
"Are you sure, Tommy?" asked Morgan in attentiveness as he didn't want Jeremy to act according to Kahn's demand.
"If you don't want to do it, you can just stay put. He won't dare to kill you with all of us here anyway," said a man within the scout team, whom Jeremy didn't even remember his name.
Jeremy only remembered the man was the one who had teased Kurt earlier about Jessy. However, the man had kept quiet ever after seeing Jessy's head and Kurt's downheartedness.
With the watchful eyes of others around him, Jeremy smiled slightly in assurance before saying,
"If I can solve this issue just by showing my Status Window, I will gladly do it without any hesitation."
Upon hearing such words, Kahn furrowed his eyebrows in doubt at the middle-aged man's confidence as he didn't think that the man would be willing to show his Status Window.
After all, if the man, Tommy Samson, was indeed someone who had come here, intending to disrupt this Tutorial or the bet between the two cupids, he should behave more conserved and tried to act tough in this situation.
There was no way in hell that such a person with so many secrets behind his existence would bend down for his harsh demand. At least, the man should express some hesitation or fear of his secrets being reviewed.
'Am I overthinking things? This guy doesn't even hesitate...'
'Whatever... let's see his Status Window first...'
Having finished his thoughts, Kahn spoke up with a stern expression,
"Alright, show it..."
Upon hearing Kahn's approval, Jeremy thought to himself before commanded inwardly to activate a skill,
'I have to make a quick adjustment to my false Status Window...'
'[Information Falser]'
Then Jeremy adjusted his Status Window swiftly. As he had already prepared the outline for the false one, he only needed a few seconds to adjust and give it the finishing touches.
Before Kahn could express impatience with the wait, an interface suddenly showed up before everyone...

"What!? Kind-hearted, Benevolent, and Compassionate?"
"Wow, Tommy... your Status Window..."
"You have three traits? All of them are good alignments, too."
"A literally good guy, no less..."
"Look, there! He has that effing expensive skill, Stealth, which is numbered in the 180s or so..."
"Well? So, that's how he had managed to sneak up behind the kenkus when he helped us earlier."
"I remember Knife Wielding is a skill number ninety-eight, which costs around 2,500 SP."
"Holy moly, isn't he at least as strong as Rachel and Clinton?"
Voice and exclamation were heard within the guest room after the Status Window was projected.
They felt like the Status Window was too good to be true...
However, considering the man, Tommy, had cleared the tenth horde of monsters, such an interface was justifiable for his profile.
Even Morgan and Kahn felt shocked after seeing the unreal Status Window of a newbie, especially Kahn, as he had another feeling deep inside his heart, discontent, towards the man named Tommy Samson.
How could such a newbie have a fundamental skill of a class-1 pathway?
Even though Kahn was a class-1 mage himself, he had to learn runes, incantations, meditation, and the methods to cast spells by spending buckets of blood and sweat. However, this guy had been here, within the Tutorial, only just some days ago and already possessed an equivalent skill of a class-1 pathway.
Kahn furrowed his eyebrows even deeper than earlier before shaking his head in the end...
*Sigh...*
A helpless sigh suddenly escaped from Kahn's mouth.
He had never thought before that he would become so insane with just a small matter like this.
After all, before coming here, when he was still a prestigious student within a great mage academy, he had never become jealous of others or killed a person before.historical
