" Master, what gave you the illusion that I am still here? "
With Akira's words, the surroundings began to distort. And before anyone realised it, they found that they were already on the boat drifting in the sea.
This sudden change of scenery caused another commotion amongst the guild members.
"Hey, hey, am I dreaming? Weren't we at the harbor a second ago? How come we are at the sea now? " a guild member asked as he squinted his eyes just to make sure.
" And what's more it seems we were in this boat for some time now " someone else muttered as he looked at the Hargeon harbor that is quite far away.
" Hey Akira, how did you do it ? " Cana, who came along, asked as she nudged Akira. Her eyes were filled with curiosity.
In fact, it wasn't just Cana who was curious; everyone, including Makarov, was curious as to how Akira pulled off this stunt.
" Well, it's nothing serious; I just used my ability as soon as we left Magnolia. So for the whole trip you guys were under my spell. I just had to make your senses a bit dull and leave your subconscious to take over your body. So when you guys were talking, your bodies were under the control of your subconscious, boarded the ship, and set sail. " Akira spoke as if this were nothing special.
And hearing his words, everyone felt silent. At this moment, all of them had the same thought, ' WTF can you also use illusions like this ?'
Although everyone knew that Akira's illusion skills were amazing, they never expected it to be this amazing. Now this kid has become a very terrifying existence who could make everyone lost in his illusions.
" Kid next time please don't pull such a stunt it's too terrifying " Makarov spoke honestly as he clasped Akira's hand. Akira was already dangerous with that unique skill of his, but now with this illusion magic along with his inhuman talent to master any magic made his danger level had increased 10-fold.
At this moment, Makarov decided that he would definitely promote this kid to an S-rank regardless of the result. This way this kid would not be easily targeted by those enemy forces.
Having an S-rank title is like a huge deterrent for many parties. After all only those who reach S rank can represent the guild. And at least 60% of the enemy forces would be scared when they hear his S-rank title.
" Okay then, kid, you should also start your journey. If you just stay until the boat reaches Tenrou Island, it will be too late for you. " Makarov reminded.
" Don't worry, Master, this is just a clone. My real body has already stepped onto Tenrou Island. " Akira spoke as he snapped his fingers.
Then a few mirrors appeared, and soon a live broadcast of the assessment was displayed before everyone. Each mirror showed each contestant, allowing the guild members to see the livestream from different angles. This is another magic item Akira made. And this item is also the reason why many guild members were able to come and watch the S-class assessment.
" By the way, Master, for this assessment, does someone really need to meet Gildarts " Akira suddenly asked with a strange expression.
….
Stepping onto Tenrou Island, Akira immediately released his Observation Haki, covering the whole island. And in a few seconds in Akira's mind, a mini map of Tenrou Island appeared. And with this map Akira found the location of every single being on this island. And this also included Gildarts, who was sleeping on top of a rock.
"Phew, thank god Zeref isn't here " After repeatedly checking, Akira breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't find any dark mage here. If he really met right now, things could get messy.
After all Akira had still not forgotten how embarrassed he became because of Deliora. And as the creator of demons, everything the demons do, Zeref has to bear some of the blame. Like they say, 'The children's sins must be borne by their parents'.
" Hmm, what's this? " Just then, in Akira's senses, she found a small place where his senses were blocked. From his experience, this means this place is blocked by a barrier.
" Hmm, is this the grave of the First generation " Akira muttered as he thought of his next action. And in less than 3 seconds, he immediately decided to go there. Since he had already found such a place, it would be a waste not to explore a little. And besides, he just asked the Master and got his permission to skip the whole process of fighting and finding clues.
Humming a tune, Akira began to walk towards the location where he felt the abnormality. On his way many monsters tried to block his way, but Akira easily made them sleep with a bit of his Conqueror's Haki.
And so on Tenrou Island, a pathway filled with unconscious monsters was created. If we add some fake blood, this can even be taken as a massacre. But with this deterrence, many monsters who wanted to join the fun all ran away in fear.
But Akira completely ignored these guys and walked towards his location. And in no time he arrived at the place where Akira felt the barrier was placed.
It was to the right side of the base of the Sirius tree in a cave that was carefully hidden by the barrier. This barrier has a simple function of distorting the perception of anyone near, so they would automatically ignore this place.
Akira walked inside the cave, completely ignoring the barrier. For him, this barrier was nothing special.
Walking deep into the cave, Akira couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic. Remember, he used to live in a cave for 5 years before arriving in Magnolia. And coming here made him remember those days.
" So this is the grave of the first generation " After walking inside for at least 30 meters, Akira came across the grave of the first generation. The grave consists of three rectangular stone steps, four small corner pillars, and carved top stones.
"Hmm, if I remember correctly, there should be two super magic here, right " Akira mumbled as he looked at the center of the grave. Sure enough, he could feel two super magic formulas carved there. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a restriction placed here, making it impossible for just anyone to take these two super magic.
" Hmm, what to do " Akira rubbed his chin as he thought of his next actions. He could undo the restrictions, but that would take at least 4 hours, especially if there is encryption magic placed inside. Furthermore, even if he managed to learn this magic, he would definitely get beaten by Makarov when he gets back.
So that means he must pass this trial without using brute force. Well that's what Akira wanted to do, but who told him to be able to cheat a little?
Thinking so, Akira activated his dragon eyes and looked around the cave once again. And sure enough, he found his target.
