Novel Full 551 Thief’s Vision
After Ace left Yehuda’s office, he again met Mylah and the others.
They had also done signing their institute contracts and changed into their institute attires. Everyone’s attire was black, except for the white ribbon outlines on them.
Only Charles’s attire had a blue color like Mylah’s.
These colors represent different groups of students and departments in the Royal Demon Institute.
White color was for Ordinary Students, Blue for Extraordinary Students, Violet for Special Students, and Red for Core Students. Then there were yellow and orange for staff members.
Green for Council Members.
Instructors wore silver, and Housemaster-level figures wore golden.
Mylah didn’t wear her instructor attire because she was also a student and could only wear it during classes. Only the graduate and full-fledged instructors can wear the instructor’s attire all the time.
Having an instructor title was also a common thing for Grade-3 or higher-grade students. Any students who could manage to enter Grade-3 Class were elites among elites.
Most of these students ended up appointed as official instructors at their graduation, and the title of the Instructor at Royal Demon Institute was no joke, and many wanted this position, but only a few got them.
After Ace changed into the special student’s attire, which was actually his Deft Thief’s Robes, which could change into any clothing, Mylah took them toward the bridge.
While walking, Lucas and others were glancing at Archie, who was still as nonchalant as before. He didn’t seem to be excited about getting into the special class at all.
Lucas couldn’t help but ask with a bitter expression, “Which house do you choose?”
Everyone’s ears perked at this question.
The personal information about the students was on their student badges, and there weren’t any symbols of houses that distinguish the students from each other except the colors.
It was done deliberately by the institute for some reason, and most believed it was a sign of unity among all the houses.
Archie flashed an amiable smile toward Lucas and Nancy, which sent chills down their spines, and he replied, “Little cousin, and little Nancy, we’ll be all together in the Soul Assassin House in the future. I’ll visit you daily.”
Lucas and Nancy’s faces went dark because they knew their life was going to be miserable from now on. Especially, Lucas knew Archie was going to take revenge by making things difficult for him.
It was extremely easy because Archie was a special student while he was only ordinary, so it would be going to be quite easy to bully him.
As for Nancy, she was regretting provoking this little demon and could only pretend to be happy. It was also not a bad thing because Archie was now a special student, and she might benefit from his backing.
So, she decided to stop resisting and seduce Archie seriously, even if she have to suffer some humiliation. She knew it was worth it!
Nancy even planned to seduce someone from the special class in secret and then sow discord between that person and Archie while reaping benefits. All kinds of schemes started to appear in her head at this moment.
On the other hand, Mylah’s eyes shimmered in a peculiar glint as she also questioned Archie, “How’s your relation with your cousin Daniel Soul Life? He’s in the same generation as you, right?”
Ace instantly sensed adoration in Mylah’s emotion, and his eyes narrowed ever so slightly while Lucas was also startled by this name, which he hadn’t heard for over a decade.
Archie coolly answered in a subtle tone, “We’re not enemies, I guess.”
Mylah chuckled, “Heh, do you know your cousin was promoted from special class to core class within five years after he entered the institute? Last year, he was promoted to 2nd grade after completing the promotion assignment.
“He’s a rising star of Soul Combatant House and the youngest personal student of Housemaster Ampersand. He might help you if you look for him.”
The others were also shocked when they heard another genius, even scarier than Archie, was present here.
Although their clans also have some core-grade students, they weren’t from the same generation as them.
Lucas’s eyes shone with dark light at this moment as if he had gained a treasure and his gloomy expression brightened, and he threw a sharp glance at Archie.
‘How could I forget about the genius of the main clan? The institute would never let the news leak from inside, so it’s only natural that father didn’t know about it as well. The main clan might be hiding it deliberately as well and have some other plans of their own.
‘Nevertheless, if he finds out Archie has a chance to enter the core grade class, he might be interested in dealing with him. Furthermore, this woman might be someone already under Daniel and approached us deliberately or on Daniel’s order.
‘If I could earn Daniel’s support, then I might crush this bastard and live without caring about his shadow…’ He thought maliciously.
“I’ll pay him a visit.” Archie agreed, saying nothing else.
Mylah merely smiled ambiguously and didn’t say anything.
They all reached the bridge; the entrance was lit in a green translucent barrier.
Mylah said at this moment, “Everyone remembered, only with your student badges in your hand can you pass this barrier and the entrance bridge.
“Furthermore, once you entered, you’ll require a special permit on your student badge from the Student Service Department if you want to exit the institute ground.
“If someone tries to cross it without a student badge and permit, you’ll be trapped and captured.
“Although you won’t suffer any injuries and could be saved after the institute confirms your identity. However, afterward, you’ll be sent to the enforcement committee and will be punished for breaking this rule.
“So, try to sneak here, or you’ll regret it. Heh.” She giggled lightly before she took out her blue student badge as well.
Everyone remembered this warning in their head while Ace felt this security measure was quite hard to overcome.
From the moment he entered this place, he was feeling all kinds of undulations, as if it was filled with rune symbols. He even opened his fate map, and he only saw terranes, nothing else, which means the runes were higher level than the compass.
Ace also took out a palm size, triangle shape, violet color jade badge which has Baphomet’s face engraved on its front and a complex array on the back. It was like a storage ring and could be bonded by a Qi mark or soul mark.
As long as he poured some Qi into it, a projection would appear which could show Ace his personal information, and other important information, and he could receive notices from the institute with it.
Others also took their different color badges according to their classes and just as Mylah said, nothing happened, and they easily crossed the barrier and walked on the long stone bridge.
Ace closely looked at the vast water body, which could be seen as far as his eyes could see. But the water was static, which could also be that the vastness of it was an illusion and its size was limited.
When Ace thought about how his vision skill had been useless. He then suddenly remembered the Thief’s vision he got as a reward for completing the first condition.
Since they were still far from the other side, Ace quickly opened the mission panel and saw the details of Thief’s Vision with great anticipation.

Ace marveled when he saw Thief’s Vision was a secret cultivation art and it was based on two of his already mastered eye skills.
Although he was ecstatic and wanted to claim this cultivation art right away and start learning it, he knew this was not the place, so he stopped himself. He was going to wait until he was alone.
There was still the third reward that could instantly raise his dismantler principles by an entire grade. This time, Ace knew the dismantler principles were going to be a big factor in this thievery.
He never got the chance to use them in thieveries, since their levels were too low, and he was stuck at his current level because of his current cultivation realm.
Ace’s first aim was to search for the lightning orb’s location and then break into the next realm before he starts this thievery, or any thievery, as a matter of fact.
Before, he could still theft and remained hidden because no one took him seriously.
However, things were different now. The entire demon race was searching for him, and the moment he showed any movement, they will swamp toward him, like hungry wolves.
That’s why he first raised Archie’s identity as a special student of the Royal Demon Institute. Now, he could go to places where other demons couldn’t and start searching for the lightning orb!
