Chapter 144 Teacher?



Miranda\'s mind was rattling when thinking about Nial\'s words.

If his words were anything but false, Gods were the creators of the dungeon portals. This was simply insane and not something Miranda could actually believe if she were to be honest.

But Nial\'s expression made her falter a little bit, and he shrugged his shoulders when he noticed the unstable mana fluctuations of Miranda and his friends.

"Of course, I could be lying, or making up stuff. So, even if you tell others about this, it\'s not like they\'ll believe you.

Furthermore, nobody would believe me because I\'m just a blind Original at the 3rd Origin rank. How should I know such things?

That being said, I don\'t really care if any of you choose to believe me or not. I\'m not in danger either way as most Orignals won\'t trust my words, either way!"

Nial was pretty sure that he was not risking his life even after divulging the truth about the creators of the dungeon portals to Miranda and his friends.

While Mathias was quite simple-minded, he did not feel like ruling out the possibility of his friend stating the truth.

Meanwhile, Bella couldn\'t help but frown as she kept glancing at Nial and was trying to process the information. Standing beside her, Miranda tilted her head, while her frown deepened even further.

"If his words are true…what would be the reason for Gods to come to Jundra? Gods…have probably their own race and a home planet to live on.

Maybe they want to expand their territory by nourishing Jundra with mana?…Humans are either in their way or the perfect cannon fodder or meat shields to nurture as well…Innate abilities provide memories occasionally… is that how it is?"

But even if Gods were the creators of dungeon portals, there was no reason for them to create ancient ruins type dungeons and other types of dungeons.

This was simply too confusing under the condition that they didn\'t want to nurture the human race, and strengthen them.

If that were to be the case, everything humanity had theorized so far would change radically, which was why Miranda\'s mind kept rattling.

In the end, she believed that Nial\'s nonchalant attitude originated from the fact that only a handful of Originals would believe what he said earlier.

However, even then, it didn\'t seem as if Nial noticed the dangers of speaking about Gods so easily.

The human race was known for following different religions. Even until now, they prayed to all kinds of Gods.

As such, too many humans would turn the government upside down if they were to know that it was possible for Gods to have created the dungeon portals.

\'Some would think of the dungeon portals as a connection to heaven, or maybe even doombringer, and that mankind is bound to be annihilated owing to the sins we committed as an entire race.

It doesn\'t matter if his words are true or not, he shouldn\'t speak out his mind so easily…\'

It was not really difficult to sense that Nial wasn\'t weighing his words carefully and had no clue that they might lead to severe problems.

As such, Miranda could only shake her head in an attempt to clear her mind before she said,

"Even if what you said is a lie, don\'t tell others about it. This will just lead to unnecessary problems, which we can avoid if you would just stay put…"

Nial was not really bothered by the fact that Miranda seemed to think that he was lying.

It was easily discernible given the fact that he himself couldn\'t help but doubt various memories of the late Darkness God.

Some things were simply too complex and he was having a hard time figuring out everything.

As such, it was only obvious for the others not to believe him.

Miranda, however, was still thinking about his words and came up with an idea to find out whether Nial was lying or not.

"Either way, just tell nobody and you will be able to avoid lots of trouble. However, what I want to know is whether you underwent a Trial for Innate abilities during the last few days or not!"

Her question was directed at Nial but her eyes studied all the three young originals.

After seeing everyone\'s reaction when she mentioned the Trials for Innate abilities, Miranda didn\'t even feel the need to receive an answer to her question.

She could tell the answer already, which was reflected in the way Nial\'s suddenly stiffened.

\'His Innate ability must be more powerful than expected if he received memories from it so early!\'

Miranda chose to believe Nial\'s words. There was no reason to do so, but if she were to be honest with herself, it was the first time a theory about the dungeon portal\'s existence and creation made somewhat sense.

Earlier, most people tried to make sense of the dungeon portals by using science and some otherworldly phenomenon.

These explanations were so bizarre that one even included the possibility of a huge planet being connected to Jundra due to various reasons, just to merge together once certain requirements were met.

Thus, Miranda chose to give Nial the benefit of the doubt before changing the topic because it was something that made her feel a little bit depressed.

\'Our chances of survival, let alone freedom, are close to nil if Gods are out for our lives…\'

Reality was cruel, but thinking too much about it made things worse, which was why Miranda took a deep breath to disperse her worries.

"Alright, let us forget about that for the time being… I have already accepted the three of you as my employees, disciples or whatever you want to call it. And before we move ahead, it would be best for everyone to tell me about your Innate abilities and bound abilities!"

Contrary to before, when Miranda had been a bit apprehensive of Nial, she was now able to keep her act together.

Numerous thoughts flashed through her mind, but Miranda felt like clearing her mind by distracting herself.

Nial could also tell that the Old Medic was slowly regaining her composure, which was quite helpful. Thus he cleared her throat before answering,

"I have bound the Curse [Hodur\'s Heir] to my mana core. It increases my senses manifold, curses my eyes, and allows me to create black miasma with a decay trait and other characteristics.

My Innate ability has no name. It is a mixture of the dark energy you\'ve already sensed before, and a mana sensory ability that allows me to perceive the mana currents in my surroundings, without attracting anyone\'s attention.

Most Originals don\'t even notice my Mana sensing ability."

Even if it looked like Nial was foolishly revealing everything he kept a secret before, he had put considerable thought and carefully weighed the pros and cons before speaking it out loud.

Bella and Mathias were only looking at him dumbfoundedly, not sure what exactly was on Nial\'s mind.

On the other hand, Miranda felt like the young, blind man had grown way too much in the last few days.

\'I guess it is good that he is on our side.\' She thought before averting her attention to the other two young Originals.

p They took a while but after some consideration, they followed suit as well.

In the next two hours, everyone had revealed what their Innate abilities were about, roughly what their Innate ability and bound ability were capable of, and the extent of their strength.

Numerous pieces of information were exchanged, and Miranda patiently listened to everything each of them had to share without saying much.

She was thinking of the best way to teach them while glancing at Nial every now and then.

Allowing three young Originals to be trained by one of mankind\'s five strongest existences in exchange for the tiny pieces of information she had received about the origin of dungeons, might not be worth it for most people.

Furthermore, the information Nial shared with her might not even be true, if one were to think about it in all honesty.

But even then, Miranda felt that Nial and the others were worth it!

This became even more apparent after she got to know their combat prowess, the extent of their abilities, and Innate abilities.

Mathias could be said to have the best chances to become something called an \'Elementalist\' in the future; someone who was adept at wielding several elemental affinities at once.

Meanwhile, Bella seemed to be working on building her foundation and creating an overall strong base in order to bind more powerful abilities in the future.

It could also be said that she wanted to bind supporting abilities, which allowed her Innate ability to shine more brightly.

There were many ways in which Bella could develop, and Miranda was quite interested in teaching the young woman.

On the other hand, Nial had given up on his eyesight in the entirety.

Even if he was blind, there might have been ways to tend to his condition. However, with the Curse he bound to himself, this possibility was taken away from him.

But that didn\'t seem to bother Nial much because he replaced his eyesight with the radar-like Innate ability which was a multi-purpose, highly functional ability.

All of his senses were manifold stronger than the norm, while his Mana sense allowed him to perceive every single trace of mana in a large radius.

According to his own words, and the comments of Bella and Mathias, his combat prowess was far higher than his Origin rank.

He had merely undergone two enlargings, and it would take him some time before he would reach the 4th Origin rank.

Miranda knew that Nial\'s dark energy was extremely strong, but even his physique exceeded the norms.

This was great, which was why she came up with a great plan to determine the intellect and strength of her three new disciples in a rather simple manner.

"I want the three of you to enter the ancient ruins dungeon this evening! The government will open it for everyone while saying that one can either enter directly or improve one\'s strength and make preparations!"

While Nial and the rest would enter the ancient ruins dungeon, Miranda was ready to make some preparations.

If she was unwilling to teach the three young Originals before, right now, her mind felt much easier at the prospect of the youngsters training under her.

They wanted to become stronger and fight with all their might. This was everything that mattered in the end, and given the talent they seemed to have, they ought to become a powerful existence.

But for that, they first had to grow more and overcome all kinds of life-threatening events.

After all, mankind had birthed numerous prodigies in the past, but sadly a majority of them died before anyone could get to know about their existence.

And to prevent this, they required a perfect foundation, whether it was knowledge, combat experience, and other teachings, which was everything the Old Medic had to take care of for now.

Because…it looked like she was going to train the next generation of mankind\'s heroes…or villains?
