The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 135 - 135 Obtaining a license

135 Obtaining a license

Cain showed a radiant smile as he saw the woman fall into a profound sleep. Although he could not say for sure, he felt that her state of mind was changing drastically.

The brightness in the red light of his eyes began to fade, and Cain had no way to summon it back. He understood that his hypnosis worked this time because of his Alter-Ego’s power. However, he had no way of directly harvesting its power yet.

‘It is still too soon for me to use my Alter-Ego, but once I have the ability, my battle power and everything else will rise exponentially!’

Cain clenched his fists as he thought of the might of his Alter-Ego. After a moment and having regained focus, he turned toward Jack and saw this one looking at him with pure shock.

He grew a little confused by the awe in the middle-aged man. Although it was surprising that he could help the woman, he was sure that it was something any other Healing Hypnotist could have also done with ease.

Cain was not wrong, and any decent Healing Hypnotist could have helped Shara without a problem. However, to achieve that level, they required years of training, and even then, they could not have healed her trauma with just one session as Cain did.

Jack only expected that Cain could have some trick due to the status of this one as a divine genius to put the woman into Embryonic Breathing. That would have been the first step in a long journey of recovery.

Never in his wildest dreams did Jack expect that Cain could have reached the root of Shara’s trauma and burned it to ashes in a few minutes.

“Is everything ok?”

.....

Cain’s voice brought Jack back to reality, and he turned toward the young man before silently using his Ego Wave to put his emotions under control.

“Hahaha, everything is better than ok. You have done a great service by helping that woman. I am sure she will remember it for the rest of her life.” Jack’s admiration was sincere as he truly respected Healing Hypnotists from the bottom of his heart.

“Since you obtained a perfect score with the Level 5 Wave Warriors, you can take your chances with those at Level 6. Don’t push yourself. Just use this chance to train.”

Cain could barely hypnotize those Level 5 Wave Warriors, so the chances he could do it with Level 6 were almost null. Still, it would help him to know just how far he was from the 3-Star classification.

Jack sent the signal, and people from the bureau came into the room and took the three Level 5 Wave Warriors before another trio went in.

Cain focused on the Level 6 Wave Warrior on the left, a 1.90 meters tall man with a bulky body full of vibrant life. He initiated the clash of wills and won it easily, but when it came to putting the soldier under compulsion, he failed.

The Level 6 soldier was not resisting and put his mind in a state of relaxation, but his natural mental defenses were too high for Cain’s current hypnosis powers.

Cian accepted his failure with the first soldier and attempted to hypnotize the other two but also failed.

“I guess that 2-Star Elementary Hypnosis Master is your limit. You are young and full of potential, so you will surely rise very fast. You might even catch up to me in a few years.” Jack smiled at Cain before guiding this one out of the room.

The duo walked through the halls before reaching another room. Jack opened the door, and Cain saw a middle-aged woman in military attire sitting behind a desk.

The woman seemed about to fall asleep, but the sound of the door opening woke her.

“Aaa, someone new... Lord Brier!” The woman’s slumber vanished the moment she saw Jack entering the room. She almost jumped out of her chair and adopted a military stance.

Jack did not give the woman a hard time. This place was where Hypnosis Master’s licenses were processed.

Hypnosis Masters were very rare, so it was odd for even one license to be processed once a week. Since that was the case, all the woman did almost every day was just waiting, so one could not blame her for her lack of focus.

“At ease. I will send you some information. Send it to the Hypnosis Association, process the license, and create the crystal card.”

A complicated expression appeared on the woman’s face as she heard Jack’s command and glanced at Cain by his side.

“Lord Brier, there are formularies that he must fill along with a period of surveillance and background checking before a final review of any past criminal activity.”

The woman did not try to antagonize Cain, but there was a protocol. All Hypnosis Masters were extremely dangerous, as even the weakest could plunge an entire city into mayhem without leaving a single trace of evidence.

“I will handle all those things. Just do as I say.” Jack did not waste time and went straight to the point.

When Cain saw that, he only smiled and remained silent. While he would not display his background to oppress others or show off, he was more than willing to use it to go around all this red tape.

“Yes, Lord Brier!” The woman did not dare to refute Jack’s command and went to work. This job was very secure and paid exceptionally well, so she was not willing to risk losing it.

She went to the back of the room and used a weird machine before processing some documents.

Cain saw her return in less than ten minutes with a crystal card in her hand.

Jack took the crystal card and handed it over to Cain once he saw that everything was in order.

“Your name and status as a 2-Star Hypnosis Master are registered in the Hypnosis Association’s database. You can use this crystal card to present yourself to future employers.”

Cain nodded and stored the crystal card. As he was leaving the room, he glanced at the woman one last time. She, Jack, and Akyra were the only ones that knew he came to obtain his Hypnosis Master’s license.

‘If she has a job like this, Lady Akyra must trust her. There might be ideas implanted in her psyche that prevent her from sharing information about what she sees in this place.’

Cain knew that powerful Hypnosis Masters could implant ideas in your mind that you would not even know until it was too late. Of course, people capable of that were powerhouses with the power to destroy entire cities like Zarak.

“If there is not anything else you need, I will guide you to the outside.”

Cain nodded to Jack, and the duo walked toward the teleportation matrix before the first one used it and vanished from the room.

When Cain returned to the first floor of the Licence Bureau, people glanced at him but did not pay much attention. Obtaining any license took a long time, so it was not odd for Cain to vanish in the morning and return at night.

Those people did not know that the reason Cain took so much time was not a bunch of bureaucracy, but he blacked out shortly after breaking the illusion of a Late Wave Champion.

Cain greeted the receptionist, who helped him when he arrived before leaving the building.

‘Should I go to Master and tell him I became a 2-Star Hypnosis Master?’ Cain considered that for a moment before shaking his head.

‘With his power and network, he would surely find out in a few minutes.’

Since there was nothing else for him to do here, Cain summoned his Wave Cloak and Lightning Armament before vanishing.

—

While Cain dashed toward the cadet’s section, Jack was in Akyra’s room. The moment Cain left, Jack ran toward the woman before reciting every single thing the young man had done.

“Oh, so he was able to heal that Level 5 Wave Warrior’s trauma with a single treatment, and he seems to have done it almost effortlessly.”

Akyra’s voice was plain, making it impossible to decipher anything from it.

“Yes. Once that brightness overflowed the red light of Cain’s eyes, that young man’s powers seemed to have obtained a qualitative evolution.” Jack made a small pause as he considered his following words.

“My Lady. I think you should use your influence in the Hypnosis Association to pull that young man away from the battlefield and guide his path toward becoming a Healing Hypnotist. It would be a great sin to allow such a divine genius to fall into the claws of war.”

Akyra’s eyes narrowed when she heard Jack’s words. The path the middle-aged man spoked would give Cain incredible fame as a Healing Hypnotist but would cripple his battle power.

Of course, the Hypnosis Association would give Cain all the cultivation resources he could need, but developing his power that way would extinguish his battle drive.

“I heard you. Leave.”

Jack bowed toward Akyra before leaving the room. The moment he did, a figure appeared.

The newcomer had an imposing body and blind eyes that glowed with blue light.
