Chapter 130 - Spiritual Rebirth
Although Roan wouldn't be doing as much as Rean, he could still move on the shadows and find the best spots. His perception is much better than Rean when they are not using Spiritual Sense too. One must remember that if Rean or Roan used their Spiritual Senses to move around in the Mission Hall, those at their level would feel it. Also, there was an even more significant reason for Rean and Roan to infiltrate the Mission Hall together.
"I hate it."??
Rean shrugged his shoulders.
"There is no helping it since I need to use all my concentration for the task alone. Also, it's not like you will feel tired anyway. Besides, the smaller the area I have to cover, the better. It will be even better if I can leave all the movements to you."
At this moment, Rean was piggybacking Roan, much to Roan's dissatisfaction. Rean wasn't lying. If the only thing he has to concentrate is the Light and Spiritual Sense bending, that will be much better. Even having to walk around would use some of his concentration. So as much as Roan doesn't want it, he has to follow this arrangement.
Rean and Roan were behind a corner outside the Mission Hall. Rean then began to use the Light Element and Spiritual Energy to bend the light, making them transparent. At the same time, he covered the two of them with the same two energies to form a weird barrier.
This barrier was the result of Rean's study and training. It simulated the same natural barrier that all cultivators had. The best thing is that it really worked as if Rean's cultivation was much higher. He could feel when someone scanned the area he was in with Spiritual Sense, but they couldn't tell that he was there.
Of course, this ability of his is still on an elementary level. Rean believes that he would at most be able to hide from Spiritual Senses at the Initial Level of the Core Formation Realm. Simply put, Rean couldn't make the two of them 'aerodynamic' enough to hide against stronger cultivators. That is also the reason why Roan preferred to go to the Mission Hall instead of the Blue Orchid District. That place is full of high-level talented disciples. It would be much harder to avoid their Spiritual Senses compared to the disciples taking care of the Mission Hall.
If someone could see the twins now, they would think that they are playing some game. Roan moved from corner to corner as if carrying some kind of precious package. It's just that the package was Rean himself.
Finally, they entered the Mission hall through the front door. Rean could feel some Spiritual Senses from the Disciples around. Usually, the place would have a lot more disciples looking into the mission. However, since they came late, there weren't many at the moment.
Roan quickly moved in the counter's direction, where a disciple took care of a few documents.
With a jump, Roan passed over the counter and beside of that disciple. When he landed inside the office, there wasn't even the slightest sound. Roan was definitely much better than Rean in this kind of thing.
However, the disciple still felt a breeze passing by his side. He spread his Spiritual Sense for a moment to see if something fell there, but it returned no results.
Rean and Roan didn't care, though. Roan looked around and waited for Rean's signal through their Soul Connection.
'Alright. There is no Spiritual Sense passing through here.'
Roan looked around and could see three disciples in total. He waited for the moment that none of them was looking and opened the door to the archives.
The twins went directly to the Mission Reports. Everything was well organized by day and time, so it was easy to find what they wanted. Now that they weren't moving, Rean extended his Spiritual Sense bending ability to the files in front and had Roan browse through them. If he left the files out, others' Spiritual Senses would see a bunch of paper floating in the air by itself. Naturally, they would come to verify straight away.
Roan didn't know the exact day the Malaka 'took' a mission, so he went to the files that started the day prior and backward.
Yesterday...
Two days ago...
Three days...
Four...
He kept browsing through all the missions ongoing. Although he passed through two tasks taken by the Blue Orchid District disciples, neither of them had Malaka there. Finally, he reached on the very first day that day joined the Sect.
It was then that he saw a few highlighted worlds with a different color in a mission file.
-Internal Mission Request, Spiritual Rebirth: Inna Malaka and Oka Talantoi.-
-Posted by: Zaia Shinsuo.-
-Duration: Unlimited.-
Rean and Roan looked at each other.
'Isn't Oka Talantoi the only other girl that joined the Blue Orchid District with Malaka?'
Roan nodded.
'The one and the same.'
They confirmed that Malaka was indeed in a mission. Not only that, but she also started that mission on the very first day they entered the Sect.
However, why were only their mission highlighted in the files? They had seen a few other tasks that happened inside the Sect and that were issued by elders. However, none of them was highlighted like Malaka's one.
Besides, this 'Spiritual Rebirth' made them feel very uncomfortable.
'Someone is coming.'
Roan quickly put the files back, and they stepped aside. A disciple quickly put another bunch of mission files in their place and left right after.
'We should leave. This Light and Spiritual Sense bending of mine aren't perfect. Besides, it is very tiresome to keep it running.'
Roan nodded, and they quickly made their way out of the Mission Hall. From start to finish, no one knew that they had been there. Once outside, they began to ponder about Malaka's issue.
"Should we ask elder Guliva or Hulian about it?"
Roan shook his head.
"That's a terrible idea. Even if elders knew, it is probably something important. Why would they tell us? Besides, the way it was treated, it might be a secret of the Sect. The fact that we know about it could instead spell calamity for us. Also, how do you plan to explain that we know about it? They will want to know how we found this information."
They couldn't help but think.
'Is there really no other way to check what is happening to Malaka other than going there?'
