The Genius Evolution Store

Madam Shelly stood in front of the room, looking at the specific room on her left. She said to the instructor next to her, "You’d better check the room thoroughly. I’m going to teach that brat some manners."

"Y-Yes." The instructor could only answer to her, considering that the other party was a Rank 6 human, while he was just a small Rank 5 human.

"Go!" Madam Shelly pointed to the door, as the time had arrived.

The instructor hurriedly opened the door, only to find no one inside. "No one’s in here!"

"What?" Madam Shelly widened her eyes in shock. She hurriedly checked it and even released her energy to scan the entire room thoroughly.

Unfortunately, the result was the same. She determined that no one was inside.

"Kh..."

The raid’s timing was different from last night, so the students would have to be on standby at all times. In fact, the purpose of this raid was to make sure that even in the training program, they would need to have someone on the lookout.

However, Auric once again found them coming and erased their presence from the beginning.

"I’m going to find that brat even if I’m going to tear this room apart!" Madam Shelly clenched her fists, thinking that this must be Auric’s little trick. They might still be in the room, but their presence was completely gone. This was why Supervisor Jacob had been fooled the previous night.

While Madam Shelly was conducting her own search, Auric and his team had already gone.

...

A moment earlier.

Auric raised his head as Lindwurm notified him of their presence again. "It looks like they have come again."

"Yep, shall we play along?"

"No. It’s time to escape. We need to be fast since I don’t want them to track us completely. They might not play by the rules." Auric walked toward the girls and woke them up.

"Mhmmm?"

It looked like the girls hadn’t fallen into deep sleep either. They were also maintaining their alertness, since their minds immediately became clear the moment they woke up.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t actually sense the instructors outside.

"Are they really outside?" Katarina squinted, trying to sense them.

"Yeah. They’re really good at hiding their presence. However, what I track isn’t their presence, but their energy. Unless they can completely erase their energy, it’s going to be impossible to hide from me." Auric nodded.

"What shall we do? Wait until they break in?"

"No, we will go out right now. Let’s go to the first spot." Auric smiled.

They nodded firmly as Ellia immediately used her storage.

"Help me move them, guys." Ellia maintained the space storage while Katarina and Vera put the beds or other items in the room into her storage. This way, the room would be completely empty.

"Remind me to buy some beds once we have free time, so that we don’t have to do this anymore." Katarina shook her head helplessly.

"Without you even telling me, I’ve already asked my usual manufacturer to prepare the highest-quality beds." Ellia smiled.

"Oh!" Katarina almost forgot that Ellia managed several hotels. "Right, you have your hotels."

"I will also bring in some essential items, such as towels, soap, and so on. This way, we can move around without any problems."

"All right. Let’s go now. I want to sleep." Auric yawned. "I’m done studying today."

"Yep. Now, let’s go."

As soon as they finished packing everything, they opened the window and exited through the window before anyone else.

Of course, Lindwurm still erased their presence in the room, so even when they exited, the instructors wouldn’t notice, as they focused too much on the room.

Vera led them to another building within the academy.

"This place should be safe. Those guys can hide everywhere, but not this one. Not many people know about this place in the first place." Vera raised her finger.

"Oh, this place. The people on the student council told me about this place after I entered."

"Yes. I’ve been researching the student council because I want to be one, so I discovered this place." Vera nodded. "Most of the time, it’s the student council’s backup location in case something happens. There is also an evacuation shelter in case the beasts end up destroying the capital city."

Auric had decorated the space earlier, so he had already made bathrooms and other things, making the room like a hotel.

All they needed to do was to bring out the beds and other furniture.

Auric could make them as well, but they thought it would be fine this way. At least the girls would feel like they had contributed something.

"Okay. We’re done moving." Vera nodded, satisfied.

"Good. There is still time until morning. They’re probably doing the raid two hours early so that they can have more time to catch us, but well, sucks for them." Katarina chuckled.

"I don’t really care. I just want to sleep." Auric simply hopped onto his bed and closed his eyes, not wanting to care about other things. "Good night."

"..." The girls looked at each other. If they didn’t know him, they would probably shake their heads.

Auric truly did everything at his own pace. Even if the others told him to stop, he wouldn’t stop unless it was really necessary in his mind.

"Shall we get some more sleep?"

"I agree."

"Just don’t bother him."

In the end, they slept through the night.

The instructors were doing their best to find them, only to fail once again. Of course, most instructors were trying to find any nearby students.

Meanwhile, Madam Shelly seemed to be fixated on Auric as she ignored all other students she came across.

Unfortunately for her, no matter how hard she searched, Auric was nowhere to be found.

She couldn’t help but think that Auric had left the academy. This was the only way to escape from her.

So, after searching for a while, she chose to focus all her attention on the entrance. She wanted to make sure that Auric couldn’t come back.

She thought she had won this time, but Auric had won once again.

"Good morning." Auric waved his hand to the other students as he reached the meeting location. The direction they came from was definitely from within the academy.

"You..." Madam Shelly gritted her teeth, not expecting Auric to actually escape once again. There was no one exiting or entering the academy.

Their faces looked shiny as though they hadn’t lost any sleep. No, they’d even had time to take a shower before they came here.

Other students couldn’t help but feel envious. They wanted to live like them.

Auric acted as if nothing had happened. He went to the instructor for the next lesson without any prejudice and finished the lesson with a spectacular result.

At the same time, he also continued with his own studies.

It seemed that they didn’t intend to do the raid all the time. The next night, they didn’t do anything, allowing the students to rest.

Finally, Thursday arrived. It meant they could choose any instructors they wanted since it was free study time.

Auric’s team focused on their respective studies for the time being, away from everyone else.

Finally, after a grueling few months, Auric was able to reach his objective.

Auric asked Katarina to accompany him.

"Where are we going? Back to the dorm?" Katarina asked in confusion.

"I want to evolve my dark element to Rank 3."

"Oh! Is it finally time?" Katarina looked curious.

When he evolved his first element to Rank 2, Maya was with him. At that time, he could immediately determine what had changed.

’Previously, when I evolved my element to Rank 2, my eyes underwent a small change. I could actually look at the flow of energy in their bodies by squinting. It was actually a clue, because the actual upgrade was an enhancement to my vision.

’In the end, it allowed me to see the energy in the entire area. This time, I wonder what kind of small change I will have. It will be the clue to the full upgrade I will receive after evolving all my elements.’

Auric turned to Katarina. "It won’t take long."

"Don’t worry. I will be here to ensure that you’re evolving just fine." Katarina pumped her fist, gesturing that she would beat anyone in the way.

"Thanks." Auric checked his element again. It was already 99%. In a few minutes, he would reach 100%.

There was another reason he kept studying until late at night. During the night, dark energy was more abundant. He wanted to absorb as much of it as possible. That was why he managed to reach this level a few days faster.

Auric immediately closed his eyes and started absorbing as much dark energy as possible.

As Auric said, it didn’t take more than a few minutes for his element to reach 100%.

The reaction of the evolution immediately began. Normally, people would receive energy from their avatar and spread it throughout their entire bodies to enhance their five senses, including the sense of touch.

Instead of the energy from his avatar, the energy from the dark element orbit exploded. It spread throughout his body, but it found no place to settle.

"!!!" Auric was a bit surprised because the energy kept moving. There was only one place where the energy didn’t move.

It was his eyes.

Since the energy couldn’t settle down in other parts of his body, Auric decided to direct it all to his eyes. Surprisingly, his eyes were able to accept all of it.

In other words, the only sense he could enhance was his vision.

Once the energy was fully integrated, Auric officially evolved his element to Rank 3.

"Huuu..." Auric let out a long breath as he gradually opened his eyes.

Katarina noticed him exhaling and immediately checked on him. "How do you feel?"

Auric raised his head and looked at Katarina. He didn’t see any change.

"Hmm?" Auric squinted, trying to see if there was anything different.

"What’s wrong?"

Auric looked around him, but he really couldn’t see anything unusual.

’Weird...’ Auric didn’t understand what was going on. ’Is there any other trigger? Is it energy?’

"Auric... I don’t know what’s going on, but have you been using a battle technique all this time? A battle technique from your eyes," Katarina asked.

"!!!" Auric turned back to her. "What do you mean?"

Katarina took out her phone and opened her camera, showing it to him directly.

Auric had black hair but white eyes, but his eyes had now changed slightly. It looked like there was a black ring around his pupils.

"This..." Auric noticed something. ’Energy?’

Auric channeled his energy into his eyes, and his pupils changed again. He then tried to look at the entire room while channeling his energy and discovered the change.

When he poured his energy into his eyes, he saw that the dark energy could be singled out, either to make only this energy appear in his eyes or exclude the dark energy from his vision entirely.

Once he stopped channeling his energy, his vision would return to normal. His pupils had also returned to normal.

’Does the upgrade this time allow me to single out specific types of energy? If I fully upgrade my eyes, does this mean I can single out every type of energy? It’s useful, but I think there must be something else. I don’t know what it is yet, but it’s definitely going to be even more useful.

’Still, my pupils have changed as well. It might look like there is a ring on them when I use this ability. No, wait. Single out the energy... What happens when I look at the ruins? Their barrier...’

’Can I visit the Mysterious Cave ruins again? No, I can’t sneak back in. Maybe the Underground Mall ruins? I don’t have time to go there right now.

’Well, I will have time to visit them again. It doesn’t necessarily need to be ruins with a dark element.’

Auric finally replied to Katarina. "No. I just confirmed the change. Thank you."
