Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

As soon as Vincent left the room, the four examiners couldn't help but look at each other.

They were baffled by the sudden appearance of this expert Appraiser. Though he can't tell how old the items were, it was understandable considering that he didn't spend a lot of time analyzing them and they were only allowed to touch them.

That is already something difficult since they wouldn't be using other tools and would have to rely on their senses and knowledge.

"Do you really have no idea about his background?" Olivier asked the three Resident Appraisers.

Since Olivier came from the main branch, he's not familiar with the Appraisers around this region.

"I'm sorry, Senior. This is really our first time hearing about him." Therese answered as she was also wondering where Vincent came from.

"Don't worry, Senior. I'm sure that he'll be one of the three new Appraisers today so we will have plenty of time to learn about him. Especially his grandfather that taught him everything. We may not know Vincent but we might recognize his grandfather." Maurice said with a smile.

After they continued talking about Vincent for a while, the second Appraiser finally decided to enter.

***

Vincent was now in a waiting room as he was accompanied by a couple of servants who provided him with some refreshments.

He felt like he was in a restaurant being served by two waitresses.

However, since it would probably take more time before the next person comes in, one of the waitresses also gestured to Vincent that he could take a book on a small shelf in the room.

Vincent did just that and found several interesting books by reading their titles.

History of the Rosailles War.

The Heretic Queen of Enia.

The Real Celestial Beings.

The Mystical Changes of the Human Eye.

The Adventures of Rank 700.

These were only some of the books that Vincent noticed on the shelf. There were about 50 books here and for him who has no idea about the background of this world, he's really interested to read all of them.

Since his grandfather did not teach him anything related to the world's history and only taught him enough on how to master his Soul Art and practice his Mana Arts, he lacks the common sense that most people here would have.

'Right, I also don't have a clear idea about the Barbarians, the Zemin Clan, and other things related to this world. After I get a stable source of income, I should start studying already.'

Vincent mused as he decided to read the introductory part of some books to pass some time.

After around twenty minutes of reading, someone finally entered the waiting room.

"Haa~ So it's really you." A familiar voice caught Vincent's attention and saw Cedric entering the room.

He seemed to be very happy seeing him although they do not know each other.

Vincent can only smile at this as he greeted the man as well. Anyway, if both of them were accepted, they would be working together for the next two months so it's better if they get to know each other now.

After introducing themselves to each other, Cedric felt more inclined to chat with Vincent.

"I heard that you managed to identify the two ancient items… You're more impressive than I thought. I just barely got information about those two but they said that you managed to give them information or theory that they haven't considered before."

"Not really… Do you think there will be a second test?" Vincent asked.

"Hmm… There are other two old men outside that were really good as well. If those two passed, there might be four of us here."

Since the Junior Apprentice position only has three vacant slots, they would most likely have another test if those two passed as well.

"Ehem… So, do you also have one of the Mystic Eyes? Is it the long-lost Seer Eyes? Perhaps, the Lesser Celestial Eyes? Maybe it's really the Advanced Appraiser Eyes?"

"Hmm?"

Vincent had no clue what this person is saying.

"Don't tell me that you don't have a Mystic Eye?! Did you just pass the test with pure knowledge? That's even more incredible!"

"Huh? What are you talking about---Ah…"

Vincent suddenly recalled the introduction of the book he read a moment ago.

'The Mystical Changes of the Human Eye.'

There are several Mana Arts that could help the human eyes to achieve a Mystic Eye.

Of course, there are also cases where humans would naturally be gifted with this talent even without the Mana Arts helping them learn it.

They could have powers related to Petrifying Gaze, Kinetic Vision, Energy Perception, Body Language Analysis, or Attack Prediction, and there was even Hypnotic Vision on the list.

Anyway, since Vincent didn't delve too much into the book, he didn't get to the part where the Appraiser Eyes, and Lesser Celestials Eyes, or Seer Eyes are mentioned. After all, if you aren't born with natural talent, you will need to reach the state where you can learn Tier 4 Mana Arts to apply this. So he didn't really get in the mood to continue reading.

Instead of answering, Vincent decided to get information from him first.

"Well, may I ask what kind of Mystic Eyes you have?"

"OH! I'm being rude. I do have the Lesser Truth Eyes. This is some kind of Essence Reading sight."

Cedric answered without any hesitation as he activated his skill and stepped closer to Vincent.

Suddenly, Vincent saw Cedric's pupils ignited by a green fire. It was quite mesmerizing but since the one staring at him is a fat man older and large than him, he felt a bit uncomfortable.

"Tier 4 Mana Art? Are you an Adept Mage?" Vincent asked.

He learned from his Grandfather that Tier 3 Mana Arts is the conversion of Mana into Element. As for the Tier 4 Mana Arts, it is related to Body Modifications like the Mystic Eye.

"No, Vincent. I'm lucky to be born with this skill." Cedric answered proudly.

Since Cedric already answered his question, Vincent revealed that he doesn't have any Mystic Eyes at all.

Cedric didn't doubt him when he said this but it seems that his competitive spirit was suddenly ignited as well.

The two continued chatting for a bit more until the door connected to the conference room opened again.
