When Vivian opened her eyes all she could see was darkness and no single shed of light.
She couldn't see in the dark, unlike Evelyn who was a light mage that could simply make light or use her special eyes to simply see through it all, or Clement who has physique that rendered such environment useless to him, be it day or night.
Vivian only had one thing in mind as she stood here without any sight, 'Chaos'.
She could feel the presence in the air.
She had fallen into the demon territory just like Clement, but unlike him, she couldn't see.
Although she had a way to see, it would reveal her control over the element, but if she didn't use it, she would fail her exam and drop to the bottom of the rank, and would be out of the top ten.
On one hand, she had to obey her leader's orders and on the other, she had to get into the top ten, and there was only nine spots.
Then she had an idea as she had forgotten she had a skill just for this, she slapped her forehead at how she could forget such an amazing skill.
The skill she had thought of was 'The perfect one' such a heaven defying skill, that could fake anything she wanted about herself.
She immediately activated the skill and tried to fake her mana control to show her control was lower than what she was about to use, she had a smirk on her face as she was sure that only she had thought of this, and the rest of the subordinate would be using their lower control.
Much to her dismay, the skill failed to fake anything, she tried again but failed miserably.
Anthony looked at Vivian from his cottage not knowing if to laugh or cry over her failure.
But he couldn't laugh or he would break his sleep act and he would be caught.
The reason Vivian failed is simple, 'The perfect one' Vivian and the rest had were a skill Anthony created from using his own 'The perfect one' which is an Authority as the base.
Anthony could fake his mana control or anything he wanted because he used an Authority which wasn't even a concept in this world and was only granted to him by ???, how can he share an Authority or create an Authority skill.
Anthony neither had the ability or means to create or share any Authority.
Even if he had the ability to share it, he would have to ask for permission from the owner.
This was the difference between the one Anthony had and the one his subordinate had, one was a skill stemming from an Authority basically making it an Authority in itself, while the other was a skill Anthony created on the bases of his Authority.
The skill wasn't strong enough to fake mana or elemental control yet which was why Vivian failed miserably with such brilliant idea.
He sighed and sent a message to Vivian
'Don't try such things again, you aren't strong enough to bend mana to your will on such level, you may use your original element control and mana control, but you should still restrict you rank unless I say otherwise'
'You should be able to grasp a simple skill like night vision or dark vision on your own, don't expect permission from me when a situation like this happens again'
Vivian was stunned as she heard Anthony's voice in her mind.
She then smiled like a baby girl who just got a pink bow tie for her hair.
'He is always watching me even from another place, wherever he is' Vivian thought as she was still smiling.
Only if Vivian knew that Anthony was watching all ten of them at the same time.
She wanted to use her mana and elemental control in other for her to be able to see.
But the last part of the Anthony's message, it indeed made sense, they had such ridiculous talent for everything, if she couldn't even grasp a mere vision skill then Anthony's resource has been wasted on her.
With that thought in mind, she didn't use her mana control and elemental control again and opted to just create her own skill.
After sitting in a lotus position for a while with her eyes open, she created a skill but it wasn't dark vision or night vision.
[Passive: Ice Eyes:
1:Able to see as clear as the user wants, be it day, night.
2:When other elements are in use to create darkness or other vision distortion skill or effect, they shall hold no effect on the skill holder.
3:Increases connection and control with the ice element
4:Can see through all falsehood and lies, as all lies and falsehood freezes infront of the skill holder]
Vivian smiled at the new skill she acquired, she truly spent thirty minutes on this and was proud of her efforts.
If other people heard this, they would beat her to the death.
Even if they tried to do what she did they would spend years on this and still fail.
They could have used that time to improve their techniques or used it to create their own skill that could help them, but at a lower level.
To others this was not a skill but something else that usually comes as an inherent abilities just like Kevin's eyes, yet Vivian did such ridiculous thing in thirty minutes without even stressing.
Anthony smiled in his mind as he saw that Vivian really comprehend the meaning behind his last sentence and created a skill for her circumstances, but her enemies wouldn't give her time to create skills or contemplate.
But at least he was happy the girl was able to see his true word and didn't use her element.
Vivian stood up as she opened her eyes, and everytime became clearer than day itself.
She saw the forest covered in pitch darkness as nothing related to light came or left the area
Even the trees were pitch black, everything was corrupted with Chaos, nothing having life was spared in this forest.
She has landed in the demon territory called the Dark forest like Clement but she didn't know this.
She also wondered what the demons were doing in such secret realm.
'Did they infiltrate here to kill off students now that the professors aren't here' Vivian squinted her eyes as she had a deep hatred for demons as they were involved in her parents death.
Killing intent leaked from her body then exhaled and calmed down.
'There is no way they would dare invade here with the Dean's presence and the Vice president, and the fact the boss also said nothing about it means the demons are raised by the Academy' Vivian thought.
Anthony looked at the killing intent leaking from Vivian's body and sighed.
He knew everything about his subordinates, there was no way he was gonna accept subordinates without knowing their past, as he had used his 'All seeing Eyes' to look into the past and watched all lives of the ten of them.
He knew that the demons were involved in Vivian's parents death.
He saw how she closed off herself and cried herself to sleep every night and day and swore to raze down the demons, as she couldn't exist in the same world as them.
Anthony just didn't know the hatred was this big, but he gets it.
If someone touched his parents, they better kill him immediately and not allow him to survive, if not...well somethings are better left unsaid.
Vivian immediately started moving as she was done, looking for her prey to gain points.
