Reincarnated With the World Domination System-Chapter 13: Sophia’s status

Rael left Sister Sophia's room.

An avalanche of emotions overwhelmed him, making him stand still and bite his lip.

Little tears gathered at the corners of his eyes, only to vanish when his third innate ability began awakening on its own, without his command or Dominica's prompt.

Like every ability awakening, an intense heat attacked Rael, but this time, it centered on his eyes, burning into his irises and altering them.

A single crack formed in each eye, turning them into purple slits, each flanked by two half-crescent lines.

His vision expanded, letting him zoom in on distant objects as if he had a built-in scope.

As he unconsciously stared out the window, one of the sisters entered his field of view and triggered a new system screen.

[Name: Sister Carol][Rank: Awakened(Abilities Unknown)][Age: 61][Race: Human][Attributes: Strength(E), Agility(E), Stamina(E+), Vitality(D), Magic Power(D plus).]

Although this status screen appeared unexpectedly, Rael understood it came from his newly awakened ability, which granted him powerful optics for examining people and objects in minute detail.

His vision improved drastically, and now he had something akin to an aim lock built into his eyes.

This sudden awakening happened because he had confirmed the traitor's identity and yearned for greater strength to protect everyone in the orphanage.

[Congratulations on awakening your third innate ability, Lord Rael.]

[The Maker's POV(F)]

[The information Lord Rael receives is limited by certain factors: his own abilities, experience, attributes, and knowledge.Using Sister Carol as an example, Lord Rael can see her attributes because they are equal to or lower than his own.Her ability remains unknown because she has not used it in Lord Rael's presence or mentioned it.]

By the time Dominica finished explaining, Sister Carol sensed someone watching her and turned around.

She noticed Rael, smiled at him, and walked away.

[Lord Rael, if you could run to the window and call her again.]

Rael didn't know why Dominica requested that, but he wasn't in the mood to talk, so he followed her instructions.

He leaned out the window and shouted a greeting to Sister Carol.

Before she turned around, Rael saw the precise path of her motion and was shocked to realize he could predict how she would glance over her shoulder.

When she did, matching that path perfectly, Rael stared at her.

"Good afternoon, Rael," she said with the same kind smile, then turned away.

Is that what it means to look at someone down to the tiniest details?

[Lord Rael can now see through muscles, clothing fabric, and anything else to anticipate someone's next action.Once something is observed, you will never forget it, and it becomes muscle memory that warns you.This is not seeing the future but using all available factors for near-flawless prediction.]

I see.

Rael nodded and gazed down at the lawn.

He felt overwhelmed again, since he had confirmed the traitor was someone who raised him.

He disliked staying under the same roof with a person who intended him harm.

Why all this ruse? Why can't they just say the military is good and push us to join? Why is she even doing this?

[There are flaws in Lord Rael's thinking.Some sisters may oppose Sister Sophia, so she is acting in secret.Because abilities dominate society, orphans with mediocre skills struggle in military facilities.Also, society disapproves of enlisting children before the age of eighteen, so lowering that age would cause an uproar.]

What are the chances I could ask the other sisters for help?

[I believe Lord Rael should first check their statuses.]

Rael nodded and decided to wait until dinnertime, when everyone, including the sisters, would be together.

He went to his room, changed his blanket and pillow, and soon dinner arrived faster than expected.

Everyone gathered at the long table, standing upright.

"We shall now pray to God and thank him for the food," Sister Sophia said, beginning the usual prayer.

All eyes closed, and Rael shut his for a few seconds before opening them to activate his newest ability.

His eyes changed as he scanned each sister, his heart pounding with every look.

[They're weaker than you, Lord Rael.Only their magic power is higher than yours, since magic power does not fade with age.]

Silently, Rael focused on Sister Sophia.

[Name: Sister Sophia][Rank: ???][Age: ???][Race: ???][Attributes: Strength(???), Agility(???), Stamina(???), Vitality(???), Magic Power(???)]

Seeing so many question marks, Rael inhaled so sharply that, if not for everyone praying, they would have heard him.

When the prayers ended, he sat at the table, picked up his fork and knife, and realized he had no appetite.

We need to step up our game, Dominica, so I can at least see her abilities.

[Understood, Lord Rael.I believe I would be smiling right now, knowing these truths have not defeated you.]

Maybe what I need right now is that awkward smile of yours.

[I'm honored.]
