Chapter 53: Undercurrents
"I seem to have already been marked either way, so my choice doesn’t matter. Isn’t that right, Dean Rochester?" Kaizer answered, glancing to the area behind Madam Sylvia, which was occupied by nothing.
A soft chuckle sounded out as Dean Rochester walked out of nothingness and appeared within the conference room, shocking everyone else. Madam Sylvia especially became pale as she realized her near corrupt promises to take advantage of her position for her pupil’s benefit were heard by the dean, but the fellow didn’t even look at her.
Dean Rochester simply stroked his chin and laughed. "Truly an S-grade Telesthesia ability, even able to sense me within the folds of space."
Kaizer, as a matter of fact, did not sense the dean with his telesthesia ability. Telesthesia was based on his five senses expanded outward using psychic power as a base, and that could not possibly pierce through the folds of space yet.
What he did sense was the dean’s mind, which could not be hidden from his telepathic ability when within the range of his telesthesia. It may sound contradictory, but the mind was a transient thing that was not necessarily based on spatial location, but on existence.
"Well? What is your offer then, Sir Dean?" Kaizer asked calmly, not willing to fall into the dean’s trap.
Dean Rochester narrowed his eyes and cursed inwardly that this young man was as crafty as his grandfather. Why couldn’t he be a dumb bimbo like his cousin there, who seemed to only eat, sleep, and think about clothes all day?
If Rina knew that her questions had created this perception about her in the dean’s eyes, she would... probably not care because she didn’t value his opinion anyway.
"How about this? I will offer you what Madam Sylvia gave to your cousin, and on top of that, ensure that you become the new strongest esper in the world." Dean Rochester proposed as he waved a hand grandly.
