Chapter 148 - Godly Event (1/2)

”But things didn't go as the saying goes. Your grandmother said you'll 'awaken' to your power at the age of 18 yet, no such a thing happened, right? And that wasn't the only thing that went differently from what your grandmother told me. Your power...she said it has something to do with 'space', I don't know what exactly it is though. Perhaps, it might be something to do with the 'Trial Tower' you were talking about. But from the way she said, it was a very powerful ability, much more potent than Clairvoyance.”

Sheila slowly nodded her head with her expression remained as that of surprise.  Space, huh? But that's the system's abilities, isn't it? I am the master of the space within the Trial Tower yet, I don't think it's my power. If it is, it won't just be in the Trial Tower, won't it? After all, when it comes to space magic, there's teleportation and stuff, right? I won't have to waste my energy to walk for 10km just to buy ice cream when I could just 'blink' to the place within a split second, no energy was wasted other than for teleportation. Even in fighting, I could teleport behind my opponent and be like, 'Nothing personal, kid'. At least that was what I would like to do if I could teleport as I pleased, thought Sheila.

”But, how does this got to do with being the successor of that woman?”

Sara shook her head helplessly at her foolish daughter.

”If you have listened to everything I said carefully, you would easily connect the dot. But if you wanted me to say it, alright. That woman is my and your great ancestor. Basically, both of us are her direct descendants. Although I didn't awaken like some kind of supernatural power that could bend reality at a single snap of my finger, I do have one ability that makes it unfair against normal people. It's Photographic Memory.”

”Eh? I also have it.”

”You do? Then that must be the actual reason how your grades have been improving. No wonder I didn't see you study that much these past days yet you easily achieve in hitting high scores. But... you are still my foolish daughter, after all.”

”What's with the last one?!”

Sheila couldn't help but retort while feeling upset when she heard her mother's speaking the last part, it was even more infuriating when her mother was looking at her with a kind smile on her face.

”Anyway, just know that because you're my daughter, a direct descendant at that, you awaken to the special ability that couldn't be comprehended by common sense. This has been passed down ever since long ago, only to the direct descendant though.”

”Father didn't know about this then?”

”Unfortunately, yes. But now it's possible for him thanks to you.”

Sheila titled her head in confusion at her mother's remark.

”What do you mean by that?”

”Well, there's another reason why I couldn't tell your father, and that is has something to do with you. Well, it was very simple. Your grandmother said if you really awaken to a special ability, that's when I have the permission to tell it to Anthony; it was such a promise.”

Sheila heaved a relieved sigh.

”That's good then.”

”Is something matter?”

”Uhh, well... it was just, I have this system where I could bring people inside the Trial Tower, just like what I did to Ria and the others, was what I said, right?”

Sara nodded her head in acknowledgment.

”And by doing that, I could technically, 'awaken' normal people, at least from what you said. I had just realized that I can actually do such an amazing thing like this.”

Sheila paused for a moment before continuing.
