I Transmigrated as my Bias's Messenger Bird - Chapter 64
7th-level Judgment…? When did I…? Ah, perhaps…
“…Ah, yes. That… um, yes? That lightning that struck the Tower…”
“Lightning… right.” Rai smiled faintly at my words and continued, “More precisely, it’s the 7th-level Judgment that pierced through the Tower’s defenses to target Hicks.”
I hope he’s not going to claim damages on the first day of our lessons…
Trying to calm my trembling heart, I looked at Rai. It seemed impossible to him from his expressions. What should I say?
“Ah… yes, that. Um… well, that was… I originally couldn’t use it, and…”
It came out of nowhere, and it was the High Priest who suddenly gave it to me. However, if I told the truth, it might put Theo in a difficult situation. He must have helped me with good intentions. I couldn’t complicate things for him. What should I say…
As I pondered, Rai spoke up.
“I know the High Priest gave you the Judgment-infused cube.”
It seemed like he thought that was entirely inconsequential.
What the hell? He could have told me that he knew sooner!
“Oh! Really? Phew, it’s nice that you know. Yes, that’s right.”
I laughed nervously in relief.
But Rai continued with a mysterious smile on his face, “But it was a 5th-level Judgment that he gave you.”
“Oh, yeah…What?”
“What you used was a 7th-level Judgment.”
“How did I do that?”
When I asked, Rai gestured to the orb in my hand.
“Well, I guess we’ll just have to find out.”
“What’s this…?”
“It’s Verum’s Eye.”
“…Eye?”
“Yes. It allows you to perceive the true nature of a magical being.”
“True nature?!”
Wait a moment. Revealing my true nature? You don’t just hand something like this out of the blue. What if he found out that I’m a being from another world who got transmigrated here? Will I get kicked out of this world? I haven’t even completed my bucket list!
Of course, depending on what this orb revealed, my life could be at stake. But before that, I might die just from anxiety.
Sweat began to form on my hand as I held the crystal, causing it to slip and slide between my fingers.
How did I end up here? An orb the size of a baseball could decide my life or death. This was so unfair.
“Why are you so nervous?”
Rai asked, taking a step closer as I cradled the crystal ball in one arm and wiped the sweat from my other hand onto my clothes.
“Uh… I mean, it’s just that, um… I’ve never done anything like this before. I’m scared.”
“There’s no need to be scared.”
Slowly held out his hand, Rai took another step toward me. He was close enough that I could feel his breath.
I stared blankly as Rai’s large hand plucked the orb from my grasp. Holding the crystal up in his right hand, Rai stared at me.
“Take a good look.”
After three seconds of Rai silently examining the orb, a vivid violet light began to swirl within it. Then, only moments later, it turned into a light emerald color.
“First, the orb reveals the basic nature of the target’s magic. Regardless of the various magic attributes the target may be learning, it reveals the inherent base attribute they were born with.”
So Rai’s magic was…green? What did green mean?
“My magic is emerald…It’s the color of nature magic.”
…Nature magic? Didn’t he use fire magic? What kind of meteor is summoned through nature magic. This guy was such a faker…
Seeing my bewildered expression, Rai spoke while looking at the gem.
“Look, the next part is more important.”
As he finished speaking, the lights gathered in the orb projected outside like rays, quickly forming a certain shape. There were exactly nine clusters of light.
Nine clusters of light…?”
“Yes. This reveals the target’s magic level.”
“9th…? You’re Level 9?!”
If I remember correctly, even High Priest Theo was Level 8. Was Rai really the strongest in the world? Perhaps that’s why the difficulty level of the sub-quest was so high.
He laughed quietly at my admiration and handed me the orb.
“Now that you know it’s nothing, you shouldn’t be nervous. Your turn. All you need to do is channel a bit of magic.”
‘Yeah, if that’s all it would reveal then…maybe I can live through this.’
I took the orb with trembling hands and channeled some of my magic into it. Three seconds later, the light swirling inside the crystal began to glow a certain color. It was green.
“Nature magic then.”
Rai’s eyes narrowed slightly as he finished speaking. “But what’s this…?”
I felt a cold sweat break out on my back. What did he mean…what’s this?
Rai, who had been staring at the crystal ball the whole time, looked at me.
“…Why do you have the blessing of the Tower on you?”
