The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

133 2-Star Elementary Hypnosis Master

Cain slowly opened his eyes and was immediately assaulted by immense pain. He grabbed his head as he felt his brain would split in two.

Even in that state, when he saw himself waking up in an unknown room, he immediately rose from the couch on which he had been sleeping and focused on the surroundings with a sharp gaze.

It was a white room with one large painting on each wall, and other than the couch, there was only a desk behind which one of the most beautiful women Cain had ever seen was sitting.

“You finally woke up. It was about time.” The woman spoke with a calm voice that echoed through the room. She did not look at Cain as her eyes focused on the crystal cards in her hands.

Cain stared at the woman for a moment and had no idea of her power, but the feeling he got from her was similar to what Zarak gave him. She was like a force of nature capable of unimaginable destruction.

“I am Cain Laurifer. Who are you?” Before saying anything else, Cain wanted to know the woman’s identity. He was not afraid since he did not think someone would purposely dare to harm him inside the Imperial Lightning Fort, as they would have to face the Zarak’s wrath.

Of course, Cain was unlike other scions that blindly trusted their background. There were all kinds of people in the world, and there was no shortage of madmen that did not care about who they killed.

The woman raised her gaze from the crystal card in her hand and stared at Cain’s before golden light emerged from them.

Cain’s eyes immediately responded by showing a red light.

.....

“So you are Zarak’s boy. You two are really alike, killing anyone that gets in your way.”

Cain grew confused when he heard those words. He had managed to break free of an illusion, but everything after that was foggy.

‘Wait!’

Suddenly, a memory came back, and he remembered transforming his arm into a lightning spear and thrusting it toward a man’s eye. Everything after that was blank; he was unaware of what had happened to that man.

A solemn expression appeared on Cain’s face as he took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them again, they were empty, lacking any emotion. That was a state he found very easy to enter as it seemed to be his default behavior in his past life.

“Did I kill him?”

The woman saw the emptiness in Cain’s eyes, and there was a flash of surprise in her eyes.

“What would happen if you did?”

Cain’s eyes were still empty of every emotion. He did not say a word, making it clear he was not in the mood for games.

After a moment, the woman shrugged her shoulders before looking toward the door. The next second, a middle-aged man entered the room.

When Cain saw the man, his gaze grew normal, and emotion returned to his eyes. Still, he showed pure calm and had his guard up.

“Jack, do you have something to say?” The woman’s voice was soft, but it seemed to carry a force that made the middle-aged man tremble.

Jack stared at the woman before turning toward Cain and sighing.

“I am sorry for my rude behavior. I should not have put you under an illusion. In my defense, I thought you were just another of those dumb scions and wanted to teach you a lesson so you would not waste our time.

Since you almost killed me, what do you say if we call it even?”

Cain could see that the man was not too happy about apologizing, but he also noticed no falsehood in his last words. He was still angry about the illusion, but since he almost killed the man, calling it even was not too much.

The duo walked toward each other and shook hands, resolving their initial animosity.

“Good. Jack brings Cain to the Hypnosis Chamber and tests his abilities before handling the matters of his license.”

Jack did not say a word and only nodded before walking to the gate and signaling Cain to follow him.

Cain stared at the woman one last time before giving a slight bow and walking away.

The duo walked through the hall and did not say much for the initial part of the journey. The fact there was no animosity among them did not mean they were friends. Finally, it was Cain the one that broke the silence.

“I did not catch her name. Can you tell me a little about her?”

Jack glanced at Cain for a moment before nodding.

“She is Lady Akary. A member of the Hypnosis Association’s Council. Also, like Lord Zarak, she is one of the Nine Pillars of the Collapsing Lightning Sector.”

Cain’s eyes widened as he heard that. He knew nothing about the Hypnosis Association but was aware that the Nine Pillars were the mightiest warriors beneath the Collapsing Lightning Duke.

Who would have imagined such a delicate woman was powerful enough to erase entire cities with a wave of her hand?

Although Cain still had many questions, he knew better than to ask. Powerful individuals value their privacy and would take offense at anyone infringing it.

The duo kept walking for another minute before entering a large room. A glass wall divided it in two.

“The people on the other side of the glass can not see us, but they will be able to hear your voice, and your Ego Wave can reach them without a problem.”

Cain nodded to Jack’s words. He needed to test his power on real people to see the strength of his hypnosis. The glass worked to protect his identity but also to prevent the people on the other side from being influenced by the Hypnosis Master’s aura.

“Since this is your first time, nine Wave Warriors will come. First, there will be three Level 4, then three Level 5, and finally three Level 6.

To be considered a 1-Star Elementary Hypnosis Master, you must at least be able to hypnotize two Level 4 Wave Warriors and put them in a basic state of Embryonic Breathing.”

When Jack saw that Cain nodded, he sent a signal through his A.I. Chip, and three soldiers appeared on the other side of the crystal wall.

Clearly, this was not their first time, as they put themselves in position before calming their minds.

Cain took a deep breath as he focused on the group. The next second, his eyes glowed with red light as his Ego Wave emerged and reached the trio.

The eyes of the three soldiers twitched for a moment as a clash of wills happened.

“Rest.”

Cain’s voice echoed through the room as the eyes of the three soldiers lost focus, and then they adopted a meditative position on the ground.

Jack was surprised to see that happen. Hypnotizing multiple people at the time was much more challenging than just doing it with one. It demanded the same mental powers, but the intellect, focus, and imagination required were much higher.

Cain was supposed to do it one at a time, not all three simultaneously. Jack had not mentioned it because he did not think he needed to do it.

‘So this is the might of a divine genius.’ That thought crossed Jack’s mind as he saw the powers of Cain.

Jack had not recognized Cain when he first saw this one, but the name Cain Laurifer was one that everybody that trained the Ego Eternal Path of Power in the Imperial Lightning Fort knew. After all, he was the fourteen-year boy that reached the N°1 in the Pillar of Mind with willpower equal to a Late Wave Champion.

“Did I pass?”

Cain’s voice brought Jack back to reality. The middle-aged man saw the data in his A.I. Chip that showed all the Level 4 Wave Warriors were in a state of Embryonic Breathing.

“Yes, congratulations. You are officially a 1-Star Elementary Hypnosis Master.”

Cain smiled, but he was not surprised. During his fight against the warriors from the Ancient Feral Organization, he was able to hypnotize them against their will, so doing it with people that intentionally lowered their mental barrier was easy.

“Now, the three Level 5 Wave Warriors will come.”

People in white clothes entered the room and took the three Level 4 Wave Warriors before another trio came in.

Cain’s eyes grew sharp as he stared at the three Level 5 Wave Warriors. Theoretically, his mental powers should allow him to put them in Embryonic Breathing, but it would not be easy.

His Ego Wave reached the trio, but this time Cain did not take the trio simultaneously but one at a time.

“Sleep.”

The first Level 5 Wave Warrior heard those words, and his eyes trembled for a moment before he adopted a meditative position on the ground.

Cain stayed focused and concentrated on the second.

“Sleep.”

Just like before, the Wave Warrior’s eyes trembled before being hypnotized.

Cain smiled as he saw that. He had already put two of the Level 5 Wave Warriors in Embryonic Breathing, so he was technically a 2-Star Hypnosis Master.
