Telepathy: a Blessing or a Curse
Chapter 27 - Into the Wild

...

The exercise we did that morning was enough to help us to know to what extent the development of our Bless.

For follow-up practice, the three of us agreed to inspect the artifact we just got the other day.

After we put the energy into our respective Artifacts, I can also feel the energy that Gio and Lulu have.

It felt like my perceptions and senses had become sharper.

"Hey hey, let's see your system right now. There is a new mode under the Grade column", Gio said to us.

Lulu closed her eyes and opened her return.

"Try to activate the 'Alert' mode.

I did what Lulu said.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I was then able to see the Grade belonging to Gio and Lulu above their heads.

"Hmm, if we activate this alert mode, it means we can know which Blessed is not". I said carefully.

Lulu shook her head and looked at me. "It looks like it can, but this alert mode consumes energy. I can feel my energy diminishing every second".

Because Lulu had such a high level of perception, she was instantly able to realize it.

Gio and I only felt a decrease in our energy after 2 minutes we activated the alert mode.

Within 2 minutes, our energy was reduced by 5 percent.

It would be wise if we use this mode as necessary.

...

That afternoon we regrouped at the History Club because Mr. Goethe called the three of us.

"Father called the three of you here because I will teach you about the artifacts and the grade of the blessing that you just got yesterday".

Mr. Goethe clasped his hands together on the table.

Mr. Goethe explained that the alert mode will improve our perception, intuition and proficiency in using Bless, with the energy we have to pay.

He said that the alert mode could only be used as long as we were carrying the artifact.

Artifacts can also be used to search for dark fields.

There will be a resonance that appears on the artifact if the artifact user is near a dark field.

For grade level, Goethe explained that Grade C is the lowest level to be able to use Bless well.

The grade level of Bless will increase along with the rise in points in the Bless system.

Mr. Goethe also said that his current level of Bless is Grade B.

Even if it is only a difference of 1 tier with us, I believe the difference in our current abilities is huge.

Lastly, Mr. Goethe asked us to explore areas with dark terrain, as well as search for dark terrain that may not have been touched.

All of that can improve our ability, because each dark field has different energies.

So, these different energies will greatly help us to increase our expertise in using Bless.

The three of us agreed to circumnavigate the United States first for starters.

For all our needs and costs during the trip will be borne by the organization.

We were registered with the organization by Mr. Goethe on the day we became Bless with Grade C.

More information about the organization will be notified again after we reach Grade B.

This first trip will take about 1 year before we return to campus.

I packed the things I would carry during the trip.

I closed my backpack neatly and took it to the living room where Gio and Lulu were also getting ready.
