Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

The more she talked, the more amazed and excited she became. She knew that this ability this woman was using belonged to Matt, so she would eventually be able to investigate it. Somehow, she found something new that piqued her passionate interest.

"That's where my theory comes in. If what I think is correct, Sophia Murphy should have no limitations around what she can see. For this, you know that the only way to see through a Perfect Entity like Isla, which has an active ability that can affect everyone in the range of her ability, is to reject or cut off that ability. That is, a more powerful power needs to cut it off or counter it, right?"

Matt nodded. Naturally, he knew that. 'That's right. But there's a problem with that, you know, countering an ability like that implies that Isla will receive a knockback. But she didn't.' He replied, and Mei nodded.

"That's right, what you say is true, as it would be like a counterattack. But you should also know that there are skills that can be activated on top of other skills. That they don't have the character of counteracting other skills, if not that they can be activated on top of these, right?"

Matt nodded again. Not only did he know that, but he also had skills that have that ability, and he has extensive knowledge regarding those types of skills, as they are not that common. Although if they are 'Domains', the probability that they can be activated over another domain is high, but it's not 100% since domains are limited by the power of the person and not by the domain itself.

But Sophia Murphy's ability should not be a Domain, right?

'It's not a domain, is it? Sophia Murphy's ability, which is possibly Clairvoyance, doesn't tend to be abilities capable of mass use. I'm pretty sure there aren't any skills of that type among those of that style.' Matt replied, and Mei smiled.

'Of course, that's not what I mean. I'm sure that type of skill doesn't exist. Seeing 'Fate' is meant as a way to see the future because fate, ultimately, is a part of the future, but by seeing fate, you can't see very specific situations. You're only going to see that this person has the destiny to achieve 'this', but you won't be able to see the process.

That's the way the vast majority of skills used to see destiny."

"But she is not limited by this. Sophia Murphy doesn't actually see destiny; she sees the future directly! And the way she used to see you and Isla was because she saw one second at a time ahead of you! That is, in the present, she was affected by that ability, but in that future, one second ahead of you, Isla's ability didn't affect her.

That was why she wasn't affected by Isla's ability, and it wasn't until you activated your ability that she lost track of you."

"This means that she is Isla's default counter. Whenever Isla tries to affect her with her ability, Sophia will be able to slip out of control by looking into the future. That future that no one besides her can see and Isla cannot affect is what will allow Sophia to stay sane in the face of such an ability." Mei's response was clear and concise once again.

Although she rambled on and on at first, as she needed to explain several things for him to understand the type of ability, in the end, her explanation was clear, and Matt was able to understand her without any problems and formulate his own theories about it.

'I see. So that's why it was so strange to her that we had both disappeared from her perception, was because she was looking into the future. And although this ability has several problems at first glance, as long as it's used in the right way, it's an ability capable of counteracting most of the existing ones.' Matt replied but frowned as he thought about this and looked up a little.

'Come to think of it, that time, she didn't mention to me various alternatives; she simply mentioned one future. But if what you say is true, to see destiny, you're always going to get several answers, and almost never, you'll get just one, won't you? But Sophia was able to accurately predict the future for me, about 1 year ahead. Is her ability that powerful?

The minimum of 1 second and the maximum of 1 year?' Matt asked, and Mei nodded, albeit dubiously.

"1 Year is quite a long time to predict such a future. But it is possible that she may not be able to see exactly 1 second because the closer to real-time she is, the more difficulty and demand increase. But it is likely that she can see the future in minutes; although this is just my theory, I think it is pretty close to reality.

Also, you should keep in mind that she may have a second ability that allows her to see Destiny naturally. When we were in the Human Territory, remember I told you that someone was trying to investigate your destiny? It may have been her."

Matt was surprised by this. The ability to see the exact future is impressive, even if it has problems that can be annoying.

The urgency to obtain this ability that belonged to him increased. Even so, he knew how to restrain himself.

He first needed to observe the ability more closely, so approaching this girl seemed to be a necessity.

'It would be nice if I could get her to use her ability... I heard that the Heirs tend to do some work for contractors, depending on their abilities, to develop the territory that belongs to them. Looks like I'll have to pay her a visit in the future.' Matt took a deep breath and calmed down.

Isla had been trying to talk to him for a while. "Matt? Are you okay?" she asked, bringing her hand up to stroke his face.

Matt, coming back to himself, smiled at the worried look on her face. "I'm fine, don't worry. Did you want to tell me something?" Matt asked.

Although Isla looked at him with a worried look, she nodded in the end. "Yes, I was saying that these rooms look like Auction rooms, and it's possible that this auditorium is used for auctions, but did you know that these crystals are going to be removed when the Ceremony starts?"

"Oh? Why? Isn't it better to always maintain privacy?"

Isla smiled. "That's right. During the auctions, these glass panels are darker to maintain privacy. But during the Ceremony, the idea is for guests and graduates to have more connection, so the glass is removed. The technology behind these rooms is impressive," she said, smiling in admiration.

Matt found this curious. The people of this world feel that things like the virtual reality they have achieved and the huge flying boats are not advanced technology, or at least they don't feel it is too impressive.

But basic things like making a crystal move sideways or having a way to cover a crystal in 'darkness' without having to move seem like amazing ideas to them, even though they're not really all that useful.

It was a rather strange way of thinking.

And soon, the Graduation Ceremony started...
