"I... I must be dreaming three royals in the same year!" Screamed one of the elders in shock. Looking at Cyra's futures, it was already obvious she was a royal too.
But seconds later, the room turned dead silent as gray smoke began to leak from her eyes and mouth, while it also enveloped her body in a weak layer, as a protective layer of Essence.
In the end, Annabel was the one who broke the silence, "There is just one thing I don't understand. Why hide your futures, your excellency?"
"I prefer to avoid problems and problematic situations. As such, it safer to be hidden, but since I'm in grave need of cultivation resources, I had to take the risk."
"I see. May I ask something?" Inquired Annabel as she looked at Cyra with sparkling eyes. At this point, it was already clear that she was a Shadow Demon. Her futures were just too obvious.
"Um... sure?" Cyra had a bad feeling suddenly. As such, she wasn't sure how to answer that question.
"May we see your eyes?" Annabel's question hit the nail, even Peter stopped fuming and looked at Cyra. Since her eyes were closed from the beginning till the end, he couldn't determine for sure if she was trustworthy or not. It was his foolishness that led him to this outcome.
Eyes meant way too much for demons. Cyra learned that the hard way was causing another troubling matter that she didn't wish to face.
But in the end, she opened her eyes as the reason she decided to come here was safety. As such, she slowly opened her eyes.
As her black eyes and Golden Iris appear before everyone, most of the demons were scared while some were shocked.
Even the teachers couldn't contain their surprise as it was way too rare for someone to possess those eyes. Even among the older generations, they were treasured.
Having seen her eyes, Peter understood that he couldn't retaliate against her, as the demons would kill her if he did. He knew all too well what eyes meant for them.
Regaining their calm, the teachers have begun to test the children's age by looking at their bone age and bodies.
Cyra was the first one who got tested. She had no reactions when it's showed her age as 9. She expected that much to happen; as such, it was no big deal. She was assigned to the first-year x class, allowing her to join the school's best class.
The classes were starting from X, S, A, B, C, D, F. During their studies, the students could rise or fall out of classes allowing them to show their worth to the school.
Other than that, the higher years rarely interacted with the lower years as it was utterly meaningless less to them as their opponents were in their year.
After getting assigned to a class, they were led to their living quarters inside the school. According to their rankings, starting from the first to the hundredth had private places while everyone else was sleeping in pairs.
After the selection was over, everyone went to their places. Cyra decided to refine those Crystals as such. She spent the next three days at home without leaving. She cultivated her strength, rose to Crowned Kir, and gained another 27%. With the breakthrough, Crystal's effects diminished, causing her to gain less power from it.
The next time she left her home was already morning. As such, she was confronted by Keith, who Zayne followed.
"Cyra! Finally, you're out!" Keith jumped at her and tightly hugged Cyra. In the meantime, she was looking at Zayne with a questioning gaze because she didn't remember being close to them, waiting for an explanation.
"The teachers want us to stay together, so we weren't allowed to leave unless you came too." Explained Zayne as he looked at Cyra. Even though he was somewhat angry, it was still better than sitting in a boring class.
"Oh, I see. What about Keith?" Inquired Cyra.
"Just look at her eyes, typical blue, just ignores her. She will eventually mature sooner or later." Added Zayne.
The two of them followed Cyra as she ventured around the school, looking for some fun to do or learn.
She eventually came across a class for the 4th year that explained the eyes. Because Cyra was interested in it, both Zayne and Kaith joined her without another word as even they didn't know everything about the eyes.
Seeing them joining his class, the teachers were amazed, but he managed to hold himself together and continued the lecture with a straight face.
"For us, eyes mean power as well as maturity. As our eye colors change, we will be able to learn how to utilize even stronger powers."
"The first eye color is white. It's representing purity while showing how immature the demon is. These eyes alone can't use powers, but they can see through people much more easily."
"The second eye color is light blue, the person who obtained these eyes has sacrificed their purity for more power, yet they are still on the good side of the scale, usually placing others above them self's and willing to help."
Hearing this, Keith was surprised as she wasn't expected to have this kind of power, but now hearing about it, those started making sense.
"They possess those eyes, eyes that nothing out of the ordinary but they capable of projecting a mirror to a person, when others look at these eyes normally nothing abnormal happens, but in rare occasions, it will reflect enveloping those who looked at them with grave fear."
"These fears come from their very own fears getting reflected. These fears come from secrets or sins depends on the situation."
"When the reflection happens, they are frozen on their spot. After the reflection, they will experience a small trauma or sickness."
"The third eye color is Dark Blue, even though the color is similar the effects are gravely different, these eyes are normally possessed by those who still view themself as good people but regularly do smaller bad thins."
"These eyes can reflect at will, as it lost its randomness and increased the shock that it can cause, this eye could even kill someone with a weaker mind."
"The fourth eye color is purple. Those who possess these eyes will be more selfish and rarely care about others, unlike their blue counterparts."
"Those who achieved these eyes are called the Embassy. They have a chance to become unholy in their lifetime, they also able to learn the way of the eyes."
"The way of the eyes utilizing the reflection as the base, capable of looking many different ways during a fight, these looks are capable of igniting emotions such as fear, anger and ridicule and so on. The look gets automatically associated inside with these emotions inside those head, who look at the eyes."
This part caught Zayne's attention and showed him that he still had a long way to go before his eyes could advance again as he didn't know about any of these and was lacking in other aspects.
"The fifth eye color is pink, the last color of our lesson today. Pink is representing the awakening the seeds of evil inside a demon, the actual wickedness that could be found in all of us comes to life with it."
"These eye powers are greatly different than others. To understand this eye power, you need to fully grasp wickedness and utilize it to the best of your abilities! Well, this is all for today. These 5 are the Demonic eyes of the beginning. These are the most basic eyes that a demon could possess and utilize its powers." Finished explaining to the teacher and quickly left the room, as he was busy as many others.
Cyra spent a little time wondering about these facts but eventually decided to head home as she wanted to learn these things as soon as it was possible.
On the way home, the three picked a different path to be quicker as they were eager to practice the things they learned during the lesson.
Eventually, she began experimenting as they were walking as she performed her eye ability slowly while observed her body near to see what was happening.
The teacher said that it was related to an emotional state. Her emotions were the main factor that activated her eyes.
The strongest emotion she was feeling was emptiness as she couldn't connect to her main body. Cyra was missing her other part. As such, this feeling slowly got stronger as she thought about it.
The two little demons sensed that something was wrong with Cyra and decided to avoid her eyesight. It was the safest thing to do as her Glowing eyes were extremely dangerous.
When she eventually locked onto a human 2nd-year student who was getting bullied by demons, two small throbbing actions happened separately inside her body. 2 of her blood Vessels inside her eyes began to open. Blood spread through their channels, supplying the eyes with power.
When they were filled, another two small throbbings happened to signal that her eyes were ready. Immediately afterward, her eyes changed from Golden to Pitch black. This drained 1% of the blood and Essence that was inside the vessels.
Sensing that it was far from over, she continued to switch targets as she began to blind the students one by one.
Even teachers were alarmed by the sudden events and hurried there to save the injured children, only to become part of Cyra skill's casualties. Teachers drained even more as much of 10% as deities.
The moment she used up all the Essence and Blood, both Blood Vessels burst, releasing the compressed blood and Essence back into Cyra's system.
[Congratulation Host For awakening the combined ability: Blinding Longing]
[Blinding Longing: Created by the user two different eyes, capable of blinding the eyes and senses of the target]
Combined?
[There are many different kinds of emptiness, host feelings combined the two as such it created an eye power]
What about the Awakening?
[The eyes need to be forced to use up 100% of its energy or even more by continuous using of its power]
Oh...
When Cyra snapped out of her mind, she found that Kaith and Zayne were too close to her and hugged her. "This?"
"We felt it your sorrow and longing. Look, even those worthless humans are Crying as they were overwhelmed by your strong emotions!" Pointed Zayne at the humans.
Longing and Sorrow? That doesn't seem right... I understand the emptiness, but why would I feel longing and sorrow???
As she thought, Cyra subconsciously changed her way towards the school's beaches, as it was still the only morning most of the kids were at class or were attracted by the sudden disaster that strikes the humans.
At the corners of the beach, she looked down. She could see the city. As she was looking down, she was longing for the power of her sect, the slaves that could help her in this weakened state.
Keith walked beside Cyra and looked down to the city, "I wonder when we will be allowed to access the city..."
To this, Cyra caught up her head with a questioning gaze, seeing that Keith decided to explain seeing that she managed to sparkle Cyra interest, "We are on the Orbit of Light where only Deities live, this place is the smallest amount the 20 orbits, even together with the City as the lower part it's still couldn't compete with the other orbits, yet the City is the training ground of the Orbit, many schools send students to practice in wars waged by humans."
