The first thing Nn noticed was that the person before him belonged to a race where their power was majorly controlled by their eyes.


    And the first thing Nn observed was that Norgomodev possessed a total of six eyes.


    He wasn''t really too sure, but he guessed that the slit on his forehead was also an eye.


    However, he was willing to discount that one as it was the only eye that was shut.


    Based on what he''d learned from Norgomodev and what he''d been able to observe for himself, one of Norgomodev''s eyes emitted lightning, and the other spat out mes.


    These were just two of eyes Norgomodev had been able to awaken.


    If the young man before him were to reach his full potential, he could control a total of six elements!


    One had to understand that a single element was usually specific to a bloodline, and a person who controlled a me bloodline would find it nearly impossible to control lightning at the same time, unless they were a prodigy.


    Even then, they would only be able to control exactly two elements.


    Yet, here was a boy who could potentially possess six at full potential.


    This revealed to Nn just how special the Hexives races eally were.


    Beyond their ability to control six elements due to their eyes, it was also clear that the Hexives had better sensory abilities than normal celestial heirs, and their eyes seemed ultra-sensitive to dirt.


    That was an added advantage to their specialty.


    It was something truly impressive.


    "You know, there are also a few members of my n reportedly in the academy."


    "Hmm, really?" Nn asked.


    he didn''t really know if that''s true or not since he had yet to go out to the higher level of the academy.


    ''f you say you haven''t met a person like me before, you''ll most likely meet them in the upper parts of the academy."


    "Just know, if there''s something we hate the most, it would be getting dirty and lying!"


    "So please, don''t lie to one of my race."


    "We can sense it as easily as breathing, and definitely don''t get filthy with us."


    "We can kill for that!" Norgomodev said.


    Nn stared at him for a while before nodding his head.


    The boy had actually done him a favor.


    At least if he ever had a roommate in the Ascension area or met a person like Norgomodev, he would be able to avoid getting on their bad side on the first day of meeting.


    The boy had helped him a bit.


    "You''ve done me a favor, Norgomodev."


    "Let me repay the favor and tell you something..." Nn suddenly called out to the boy, whose ears perked up as he looked at him with wide, innocent eyes, brimming with naivety.


    "And what is that?" Norgomodev asked and Nn''s eyes turned serious.


    "Firstly, you''ll do better here keeping your powers a secret known only to you."


    "Stop unting your powers for others to see..." Nn warned seriously, but his words only brought confusion to Norgomodev.


    "And why is that?" he asked.


    "Because one moment, you can beughing with the new ''friends'' you''ve just made, and in the next, their de will be an inch from your neck—stopped in time, if you''re lucky, by your shaky arms."


    "If they knew your strengths and weaknesses, just like I now know that your right and left eyes at the foremost part can shoot out beams of lightning and me, then the difficulty of driving that de through your neck reduces by 90%."


    "At least now, I know that I simply need to avoid your gaze to bring you to your death. It''s easier than before when I don''t even know what your powers are."


    "So, don''t go around shing your cool powers to everyone."


    Nn exined lengthily, but the young man still couldn''t grasp his point. It was something Nn could immediately sense on seeing how Norgomodev was looking at him nkly.


    "Imagine it like a wealthy man with five star coins, in a world where everyone else has only three and are willing to kill to gain one more."


    "And then you, who got five due to some lucky situation, start shing your five coins around for others to see."


    "What do you think will be of you?"


    "There''s no trust here. You''re all alone."


    "Letting others know your weaknesses will make you the first to fall."


    That was all Nn said before he turned his gaze away from the boy and looked towards the window.


    Slowly, his eyelids quivered, and Nn drifted into a slumbering state.


    Through the night for about three hours, Norgomodev simply stared at Nn, whose expression remained calm as he breathed in and out.


    Norgomodev''s eyes soon shed, and a grin appeared on his face.


    "So, you can''t even sleep fully because of my presence."


    "Is it that bad?"


    Norgomodev said to himself, and Nn, who was clearly in deep sleep, opened one of his eyes and grinned at him.


    "I wouldn''t doubt it if someone told me you were nted here just to drill a hole through my skull while I was sleeping."


    "So, no, I don''t trust you at all, Norgomodev."


    "Not even after I told you the secret of my power?" Norgomodev asked, and Nn chuckled.


    "Not even after I know for sure that you''re no threat to me at all, because you''re naive and very innocent. You''re too dumb to be an assassin."


    "Still, I can''t sleep with both eyes closed..."


    "You don''t even trust your own judgment. You have serious trust issues. You know that, right?" Norgomodev asked.


    Nn dazedly looked at him for a while before turning his gaze away and settling into his nap.


    Norgomodev eventually left the room, and Nn could hear the sound of him lying on the sofa and propping his head with a pillow.


    It was clear the young man had gone to sleep.


    [Don''t you think what he said is true, though?]
