Ceres

"This... I wonder if anyone was able to sense it."

Old Pang looked worried right after being amazed by what he saw.

"It wasn't that long and don't forget that this place of yours has a different time than the rest of the world outside so stop worrying about such things!"

The old men started exchanging insults and forgot that Ceres was still waiting for their assessment. Gil, on the other hand, quietly stood behind Ceres while looking as if he was not interested.

When the old men realized that they were like children in front of the younger generation, they both coughed twice. Old Na was the first to speak and he has a serious expression on his face.

"Young lady... Are you sure no one tested your attribute before you were five? And, are you really sure that no one told you anything about your spiritual body before?"

Ceres nodded. She didn't know a lot of things about Ceres' five-year-old self as some of those were part of Ceres' missing memories. But, she can never disclose it to these old men. It might be a problem if they knew that she transmigrated to this world.

"I have never seen any attribute with that kind of reaction. Old Na, can you tell what attribute she has?"

Old Pang had long suspected that Ceres has a rare attribute given how she was almost proficient when it comes to spiritual essences. Thus, everyone looked at Old Na.

"I... Am not sure. Let me refresh my memories. It has been a long time since I saw a rare attribute."

Everyone waited for Old Na's response. No one dared to move as Old Na closes his eyes to search in his memories. Afterwards, Old Na opened his eyes with a surprised look. He carefully examined Ceres from head to toe and then looked at Old Pang.

Old Na seriously looked at Ceres and instructed her to concentrate her spirit essence and force it out of her body. She should gather them in a place not too far from them and focus on picturing herself standing there.

With the instructions from Old Na, everyone can clearly guess that those words were the basis for teleportation. It looks like when you're teleporting, you have to first transfer your spiritual essence and spiritual body in a certain place before your physical body gets in there. Even though it seems like an easy thing to do, not everyone can do it. Separating your spiritual body from your physical body is a difficult task. No one can just separate the two bodies which are considered as one. In addition, if something bad happens to her spiritual body then, it would be really dangerous.

The difference that this teleportation has with those from wind attributes is that the latter can only travel fast but not appear and disappear in a place. Wind attributes only use spiritual essences to help them adjust the changes in the wind and aid in their movement. However, what Ceres was about to do doesn't even touch the concept that those wind attribute magicians use.

Ceres tried Old Na's instructions and after some minutes, she was able to appear three meters away from her previous position. Beads of sweat can be seen in her forehead. She clearly didn't have it easy.

"Teleportation!"

Old Pang was flabbergasted. He knew that teleportation is a skill from the space attribute. However, Old Na's amazement never ended in that.

Ceres walked over to her original position and asked,

"What is my attribute?"

Of course, she was clearly overjoyed learning about teleportation. What kind of an assassin would not be happy knowing he has gained an advantage? Ceres was already thinking about practicing her teleportation more so that she can travel a distance in an instant.

"How was it? How do you feel? Anything strange?"

Looking at the beads of sweat in Ceres' forehead, Old Na knew that she had difficulty executing that skill.

"Concentrating on the place of teleporting was hard. I have also depleted my spirit essence and currently replenishing them. Other than that, I don't feel anything."

Old Na wanted to speak more but he avoided what he wanted to say first and directly opened the topic that the others were waiting for.

"You... Have a space attribute."

"Oi, Old Na! Are you sure? Isn't there another space ma---"

Old Pang suddenly stopped talking since Old Na started to speak once more.

"Space mage... I once knew this guy. He was the one who created the space bags. Before people used arrays, these space bags can only be created by that person. But, if Ceres owns this attribute right now..."

"...That person is dead?"

Ceres remembered her discussion with Old Na in that certain forest. If a rare attribute exists in two or more people at the same time, the balance of this world would be disrupted. That concept was the basis of magicians' records and conclusions; that no two people can exhibit the same kind of rare attribute at the same time.

Ifthat is the case, did Old Na's friend die?  -tbc

A/N: I seldom go online and that's one of the problems with updates ;A;

A/N: (As of March 11, 2018) I really do seldom go online. When I use the net, it's always for work and thus, I find it hard to get the energy and use the net to post chapters. ;A; My bad. My generation is not that old but somehow, I think I'm really an odd-man out among my generation.
