The panda who was managing the numbers was no weaker than Shin. He was hiding his aura and seemed quite docile due to which Shin didn't care much. But after seeing the system notifying him about the restriction of using his skills, he realized that the panda was no normal being.
Without wasting any time and without panicking, he tried to look at the panda's stats.
Of course, if he was using a skill called Analysis or something similar, then that too would have been restricted. However, since he was using the system directly to take a look at the stats, the skill restriction wouldn't work for him.

Shin wanted to laugh after seeing the stats.
'Happy Panda? What kind of status is that?', he controlled and prevented himself from laughing.
Also, the stats were more or less what Shin thought and predicted to be.
Although the speed was way too low, which was obvious for a panda, its defense was higher than Shin. The same could be said for MP and his level as well.
Other than that, everything was like Shin or less than him, of course, except its age too.
Regardless, Shin had nothing to do with him right now. All he had to do was choose a wooden slab.
The panda was indeed standing happily and was waiting for Shin to choose. But by the time Shin took a look at the stats and thought about all those things, another group had already arrived.
It was a group of Hyenas who loved teasing and taunting others. In a fact, it was kind of their genetic habit.
Yes, even if they didn't want to tease or mock anyone, their mouths would work on their own and whatever they say would feel like a taunt. Therefore, they always tried to keep their mouths shut.
A group of seven hyenas were just behind Shin's group and wanted him to hurry up because they wanted to go and look at the water screens so that they could see what other races and groups were participating in.
Until they went to the room, they couldn't look at other competitors. They couldn't even hear the announcements as the commentator only spoke loud enough to be heard through the screen. He used the water screen in front of him as the mic which transmitted the sound only via the screens thus it wasn't audible to anyone else.
That was one of the reasons why the forest was calm and quiet despite clan wars being held.
"Can you please hurry up?" – this is what they wanted to ask and instead, they ended up asking in a rude tone, "You bastards, what are you wasting time for? Can't you hurry?"
The hyenas ended up sounding rude just as usual. Moreover, it felt as if they were belittling Shin's gang.
The moment they said that all the wolves turned their heads towards the hyenas and glared at them.
"Huh?", said the wolves with no names.
"Ha?", said Deoras and Raka.
"Heh?", said Aella, Alira and Kaily.
"…", Terran said nothing and just glared.
"Eh?", said Shin as he heard all of them make one or the other noise.
He then looked at the Hyenas who were trembling after being the target of so many glares.
"We apologize." – this was something simple that they wanted to say, instead, they ended up saying, "You bastards, what are you glaring for? It's not like we won't apologize."
'I want to die…'
'Why am I a hyena!?', said their leader who closed his eyes shut after saying all that.
Well, this only further enraged Shin and his gang. But for some reason, Shin found it funny.
Of course, that was because of the status effect that he checked on the hyenas.
'Who are these to talk to us like this? Are they some hotshot?', Shin questioned.
'I saw many beings tremble after seeing us, but these punks outrightly badmouthed us?', he asked himself.
And this curiosity led him to check all their stats.
[ Race: Level 29 Hyaena ( Exp 81.00%) ]
[ Race: Level 28 Hyaena ( Exp 63.57%) ]
[ Race: Level 25 Hyaena ( Exp 11.79%) ]
[ Race: Level 23 Hyaena ( Exp 07.55%) ]
[ Race: Level 23 Hyaena ( Exp 09.41%) ]
[ Race: Level 22 Hyaena ( Exp 11.06%) ]
[ Race: Level 19 Hyaena ( Exp 00.55%) ]
They were barely even Lv.30. After seeing that, Shin laughed. Of course, this was not the main reason, it was because of the status effect that the system showed.
[ Passive Skills ]
1] Mock/Taunt Lv.Max
-> Rude toning of words to taunt everyone within a radius of 500 meters.
-> Increases the chance of dodging the attacks temporarily
-> Decreases Communication skill temporarily
[ Status Effect ]
-> Mockery
After seeing the passive skills and status effect, he couldn't control his laughter. Earlier, he was trying not to laugh after seeing the status of the panda, but after seeing the stats of the hyenas, he had no choice but to burst into laughter!
Regardless, after seeing Shin laugh, all the glares vanished. He then said, "Pardon us, we will be going soon."
The hyenas, after being relieved and hearing that, wanted to thank and apologize.
They were about to open their mouths when Shin used his skill.
*Ding*
[ You have used the skill of Telepathy ]
With this, he was able to converse with them.
'Don't speak, just a gesture is fine.', Shin said using telepathy.
After hearing that, all of them bowed in order to show their appreciation.
But a big question yet remained unanswered, how was Shin able to use the telepathy skill despite being under the range of Skill restrictions?
It was quite simple, the passive skill of the panda was quite powerful indeed. It could render all skills useless within its range – at least, that's what was known.
But that wasn't true. If he could indeed do that, then the celestials and even the supreme celestials would be useless in around him. This would make them, not only vulnerable but also weak as heck.
*Ding*
[ The skill All-Seeing Eyes cannot be used due to the passive skill 'Skill Restriction' ]
This was the notification that had popped up earlier and after looking at the panda's skills, Shin realized that this skill restriction was applied only to certain skills.
Yes, it would only work on skills that came under the category of observation, heightening senses, or something related to the physical body.
As for telekinesis and telepathy, they would have no effect at all.
Of course, Shin tried other skills as well and the only skills that he could actually use were none other than Aura Domain, Dispel, Steal, and Telepathy.
He couldn't even use Heal so he wasn't sure anymore about the limitations on the skills. Regardless, he activated all these skills one by one, and the moment he felt his own eyes glowing and power surging from his body, he would abruptly de-activate his skills.
Regardless, now that he used telepathy as the Hyenas to remain quiet, he decided to choose a random wooden slab.
He placed his paw on top of one. The panda then lifted it and flipped it so that Shin could see what group and what number they got.
"A9?", he looked at the tag.
The panda, without wasting any time, moved towards the board and placed the name of his clan and tag on the board.
Right after that, an elven maid appeared who took the tag and then asked Shin and his gang to follow her.
Without wasting more time, they followed. She was wearing the maid outfit and since Shin was in the front and had a low point of vision, he could see all her private wearings.
He smirked as if he was in heat or horny. Aella, who observed him doing this, marched faster and towards him only to nibble at his right ear.
"What are you doing, your highness?", she asked while being enraged by his activity.
Shin didn't say anything and just turned his eyes in the other direction as he walked.
"Here...", the maid then showed a specific room which had the same tag 'A9'.
"Please rest here until your group's name or your clan's name is called out.", she said in a soft voice.
"..."
