"Nothing." Kate looked away and shrugged her thoughts.

"Okay." Fein nodded suspiciously. 'What's the matter with this girl? Women are really complicated.'

Well, it doesn't matter... For now, he had to give his evaluation of her performance and praise her a little. Praising someone is free, and it's also effective to motivate her. "You did a good job of learning the techniques in such a short time. You just need to have proper control so you won't stumble on a rock in the future." Fein chuckled. He has a teasing smile fixed on his face when he said this.

Strangely enough, Kate didn't look furious at all with Fein's teasing. She only nodded obediently, unlike the drastic measure she employed at her friend.

'Fuck! Where's the fairness in this world?' Kiba complained inwardly. 'Isn't he just a little more handsome than me?'

The difference in treatment made him a little unwilling. Where's the kindness between friend goes? Kiba felt sad about this world that prioritizes appearance instead of the beauty inside.

Kiba sighed, although he thinks like this and likes to rant inside of his mind. He didn't dare to voice them out loud because he didn't want to taste another nut-cracking kick from Kate.

"How about the snake's body?" Fein asked.

He had taught each of them a total of three techniques. One old technique and two new techniques.

"I didn't learn the other technique yet." Kate shook her head.

"Well, that's okay. Learning one is already quite admirable." Then he paused for a second and continued. "Well, who's next?" Fein glanced at Kiba, who finally recovered from his painful endeavor earlier. Then at Azazel, who looked thoughtful.

"Do you want to go first?" Azazel asked Kiba beside him.

Kiba felt that Azazel was targeting him. Although he looks okay, he could feel the stinging pain from his egg yokes. He just suffered critical damage in the men's most vital part! Thinking of this, he turned his head at Azazel, only to see a smirk on the other party's face.

'Just as I thought.'

Kiba knew Azazel's character, so he didn't get mad. He just smiled at him calmly and said. "I'll be a gentleman this time. You go first... After all, ladies always go first." After saying this, he glanced at Azazel with a smirk.

Fein was speechless after hearing the two go at each other. He had gotten used to them long ago. They are like oil and water, they can't mix well with each other.

The corner of Azazel's lips twitched after hearing Kiba's counter-attack. He had to admit that Kiba won this time. Azazel took a deep breath and suppressed the impulse to give another counter-attack. After all, it would not look good to show their childishness in front of their boss.

"Oka, I'll go first." Azazel walked with an expressionless face. Every step of his feet hasn't produced a sound like a quiet animal lurking in the dark. Yes, Fein had also taught his silent step after their pleading.

The silent step is a good assassination technique that was particularly good for sneak attacks. Because the sound of footsteps could reveal a location that would give an enemy sufficient time to prepare. While a soundless footstep would leave them clueless about the dangers which come from sneak attacks.

Azazel closed his eyes and tried to have a complete sense of his surroundings. He channeled all his degu energy into his sense and expanded it outward. When he did this, a thin purple film covered his eyes like a membrane. His sense of hearing, sight, touch, taste, and smell was quickly amplified by five times!

'Seikone!'

Michael felt that the whole world suddenly slowed down significantly. He could feel that he became one with nature as if nature became a part of himself...

The movement of the air, the trajectory of the wind, and every inch of movement of the dust in the ground. All of this, he could feel it!

Suddenly, the purple aura in his eyes spread five meters, which enveloped his entire body in a clear purple sphere. He could feel every movement and every change inside the purple sphere, like a small domain.

,m "He did it!" Kiba's eyes widened like a tarsier.

Kate has the same reaction as him. They couldn't believe it! Azazel managed to grasp the new technique in such a short time.

'He deserves to be the number one genius in the Ranger's Eye main branch.' Fein was also amazed by this. He also felt happy at the same time that he managed to teach a young genius, just like himself.historical

You have to know, Seikone is a downgraded version of his Chess Perception that Fein had created. He simplified it to the simplest form in order to be learnable. After all, if taught Chess Perception to others, they might not be able to grasp it even if they spent their whole life trying. But that doesn't mean that Seikone is easy to learn.

Other martial artists and veteran fighters with fairly good talent might have to spend ten years learning it! Fein also speculates that if he taught Seikone to Michael, he would need months to grasp it.

With this, one can see just how amazing Azazel was for learning the technique in just a week or so!

Those who learn Seikone would not enter a state like Chess Perception but would create a domain-like sphere that would envelop the user. Unlike his Chess Perception, Seikone had a limited range of five meters and one cannot move while it was activated.

But once a projectile or an attack passed through the sphere, the user would be able to block the attack in advance with accurate anticipation. And the sphere also boosts the dexterity of the user's hand by a hundred percent! Although it's worse than Chess Perception, it's not that bad.

"Your amazing." Fein walked in Azazel's direction.

Hearing the praise coming from Fein himself. Azazel felt a sense of achievement. Actually, he wouldn't have done what he did if not for staying awake all night to master the in and outs of Seikone! Yes, it's not just talent. He also spends blood and sweat and didn't dare to waste a second of his time. Now, this is the fruit of his labor!
