Jin was really surprised upon hearing those observations from Solesia. He frantically looked left and right just like a guy who was hiding something to see if there are others who heard the same.

*Whew*

“Thank god no one’s here yet. This will be a very sticky situation if someone hears it.”

“Is what I said earlier really that dangerous?”

“Of course, The fact that no one, not even me talks about it means it a well-guarded secret of Roa. So I was really alarmed when you just brought that out here in a public area.”

“I see… Then I will remember this mistake of mine and be careful next time. I shall talk about certain things with you now in a more secure area. I apologize for such blunder on my part”

Solesia bowed her head as she regretfully apologized for her carelessness as she never knew that saying those secrets would get her killed if Roa discovered that she was capable of seeing through his real condition.

“Apology accepted as we all make mistakes in our lives but I don’t take chances so I’ll use a life detecting just to be sure, You will help me too, Solesia, search around the surroundings for hidden objects with your .”

“Affirmative. I will search for unwanted individuals at once and immediately apprehend them.”

“Then let’s start.”

The two quickly focused their concentration and started invoking different kinds of techniques to detect hidden objects around them.

“< Internal Soul Arts - Extreme Sensitivity >.”

His started to flow very fast from his body up to his brain as he maintained his standing posture. Then, he felt a burning sensation all around his head, especially in his eyes, ears, and nose until he slowly becomes aware of every tiny detail in his surroundings such as the moving tiny ants and the flow of the wind.

“Trees, roads, and the podium?”

With the help of his enhanced sight, he carefully observed his surroundings for signs of any odd movements coming from the trees. All he saw was bird’s nest and sparrow birds that were protecting their newborn babies.

(Negative, There’s no unusual rustling nor hiding people on the podium which is strange, Beneath the ground perhaps?)

Jin took a deep breath and started to cancel out other noises except what’s below him then he carefully listened to the activities such as crawling or shaking that was happening beneath him to detect any kind of unusual movements or signs of devices planted underground to record the conversation they had.

(Also the same results as before… No signs of any life except for worms, Maybe above?)

He looked above the skies to see if there are any signs of hidden entities or devices but what appeared in his sight was only a clear blue sky with clouds and a bright blinding sun the warms his body.

“No signs there too, the wind flow is normal, I can’t feel any other breathing near us, and there is nothing unusual in the flow of anywhere. I don’t know if we are lucky or this place is just a very good blind spot but I can say that there’s no one here except us.”

Jin declared the area cleared of any suspicious activity but what was bugging him was the lack of people roaming around, he’s on an occasion where thousands of people were attending yet this area was void of such individuals.

“I’m also done here, master Jin. I scanned the area by pulsing my around to see if there are reactions and the result was negative too.”

*Whew*

“That’s a damn relief to know that nobody is here yet or else I will be forced to render them unconscious.”

Just like a large block of boulder weighing on his shoulder on heavily, It was instantly removed upon hearing that the whole area was cleared on wiretapping, eavesdropping, and recording on what was currently happening here.

“Master Jin, I have to tell you something before we continue discussing his secret condition.”

“Don’t tell me you actually found one?!”

His moment of relief instantly turned into panic time once more. He heightened his senses once more via and started to look around the whole area again to see if there’s something that he missed.

“No, There’s no one we missed and the whole area is clear. What am I about to say is about the reason why there are no people in this area yet.”

“Ha?”

His together with his panic quickly dispersed and returned to normal after he heard Solesia speaking about other things.

“Then why is it empty here? I noticed it during my scanning but I deemed it as a coincidence as I never felt any disturbance in the flow.”

*Snicker*

“You might be capable of sensing the flow of but never looked inside the flow master Jin.”

An interesting answer from Solesia. Naturally, normal mages only observed the behavior . This includes that external appearance, speed, intensity, and the direction of the flow. If there’s something different on one of those categories then there’s a high possibility that is being used for a spell.

“Explain Solesia.”

“It’s because I used a spell that never disturbed the flow of mana. I made sure that the execution of this spell would be hidden as possible to prevent any suspicion from anybody.”

“I understand it now, A very complex spell that coexists with the flow. I believe that it will take a very advanced mage to detect this kind of hidden spell.”

“Correct, and this spell is to ensure no one is supposed to wander around this place as I want to tell you something important.”

“A spell that wards off people… Then what I did earlier was for nothing.”

Since Jin didn’t know that he’s inside a barrier spell that warded off unwanted beings, he used for nothing at all. It just like a person looking at an empty room for people without reading the warning sign that the room was already empty.

“Yes, master but since you were so eager to scan the entire area then I had no choice but to scan the entire area too. It’s just what you said, we can’t take any chances therefore I abide. I apologize if I didn’t tell you about this earlier.”

“No need to apologize Solesia, the blame goes to me who immediately panic and looked around.”

“If you say so then I think we can now continue with our discussion earlier right? We only have a few minutes left before people notice that there’s something wrong here.”

“Yeah ”
