My Space-Time System

Chapter 248: Commission from the Winchester family.

It soon got to the stage he was getting a glimpse of the blue mana with his eyes. At that moment he felt like the entire environment including his was damped by a liquid.

2 hours later after the soul candle was lit, the color of the air in the room had changed to blue and so did Blake's eyes. His black pupil had changed to light blue while his eyes as a whole began radiating a blue color.

"Is this mana vision?" Blake waited for the system's confirmation before he could celebrate.

[Yes, it is the initial stage of mana vision. At this stage, you can see the basic representation of spells as the blue form of mana, but the effects of the candle aren't done yet.] The system explained.

Blake looked around the room, and apart from the damped blue look and the now mana Eiffel tower in front of him, everything had remained the same.

Unlike average candles that could last 5 – 7 hours straight of burning, Blake had been in the same position for a lit bit close to 3 hours and the soul candles had gone half.

"Not bad, 6 hours of narcotic effects will be considered godly back on Earth." Blake thought aloud as he continued to inhale the mint scent fragrance of the soul candles.

His sensory skills continually kept on getting sharper. After 5 hours, he felt like the environment pixels had shed skin and had gotten brighter.

[I think you have reached the 2nd stage of mana vision. Try casting an arcane spell.] The system instructed Blake.

Blake followed his instructions and conjured an arcane barrier, but this time it wasn't blue. The block of mana had turned to a combination of colors that comprised of the 9 elements.

His eyes moved from the mana barrier to his sheets which now had a blue kind of glow to it.

"Seems everything really is made out of mana. I just need to go into more levels of mana vision for everything to turn to mana particles." Blake thought.

"Almost forgot to check this out." Blake took out an array inscribing plate from his dimensional space and inscribed a basic mana gathering array.

"Why isn't everything like when I share your mana vision?" Blake couldn't help but ask the system because right now he was feeling scammed.

[The 1st stage of mana vision grants you the ability to see mana. The 2nd stage breaks down the mana into its 9 components. It is from the 3rd stage that the quality of magnification of your vision increases. If not everyone can go ahead and start cracking arrays.] The system explained.

"You got me hyped for no reason." Blake could only complain because he couldn't sue the system for false advertisements.

Just as expected the soul candle got burnt out at the 6-hour mark and immediately the narcotic effect wore off.

"Things are getting better, not only can you get high for 6 hours straight but you will return to normal with no side effects immediately after using it." Blake couldn't help but imagine being a trillionaire from trafficking soul candles.

[Ahmm!] The system cleared its throat.

"Alright back to business." Blake got serious and began recounting what he felt when he activated mana vision.

The main reason he used the soul candles was to give him a feeling of using mana vision and giving him something to refer to.

"My mana sensitivity was increasing rapidly. It felt as if everything was peeling away and was getting clearer." Blake paused as he began thinking of his next approach, but that was when his adventurer communication amulet began ringing.

"What could the association possibly want from me?" Blake thought as he picked up the call and a hologram of Susan appeared.

"Mr. Zero there is a job commissioned to the order of chaos adventurer party by the Winchester family. We would like to know if you will be available to accept the commission?" Susan reported.

"My team will need more info about the commission before we can make a decision." Blake replied to Susan.

"Of course, the information will be sent to the communication amulet. Whenever you are done making a decision you can call up the association using the amulet." Susan informed him. "Also note that the earlier the better."

Once the conversation with Susan was cut off, Blake left his room in search of both Castiel and Brian.

To make sure he didn't move around in circles or miss them Blake used the powers of a Locator.

The clairvoyant ash light led him to Brian's room before he led them to band together and moved to Castiel's room.

"The Winchester family wants us to transport crates containing liquor, spirits, and so on. From their manor to one of their establishments which is a popular pub in the slums." Blake explained the details of the mission to the rest.

"Doesn't sound difficult and it is something we can accomplish in a day." Castiel said.

"I say we accept the commission." Brian suggested.

"Since you 2 say so then it is agreed." Blake said as he began contacting Susan to inform her that they were accepting the commission.

Once the info was relayed to Susan, the trio boarded a carriage that took them to the association where they met Arnold, the butler of the Winchester family.

"Good day adventurer Zero. Before we go ahead in determining a price for the commission. I have been tasked to deliver something to you." Arnold brought out a gift wrapped in leather and sealed with wax that bore the insignia of the Winchester family.

"The Winchester family congratulates you on your outstanding and brave performance in the recently concluded team test." Arnold said as he handed Blake the package.

"Thank you." Blake made a courtesy bow as he undoubtedly collected the free gift and placed it in his dimensional space.

With that out of the way, both parties began going back and forth in the price for the commission.
