ESP, Extra-Sensory Perception. In other words, going beyond human senses.

Before ESP abilities were proved, it was normal that some people get premonitions of things that were about to happen. Such as someone feeling the presence of a killer, or someone that detected a disaster before it happened, or even the famous deja vu.

In truth, it was later proved that the reason behind these was psychic power. When someone had a psychic power above average, they could sometimes feel things most people could not feel, going as far as avoiding danger.

This phenomenon was called external perception.

However, a very small number of people went beyond simply detecting the danger around them. Some people could feel danger days or months before it happened or feel that something was going to happen half a world away from them.

These people were known as prophets.

And although most of them were in fact, fake, a few of them were truly people with asleep ESP abilities related to precognition. Such ESP abilities showed themselves in that way.

And one of the most common ways such ESP abilities showed themselves was through dreams.

That was the reason Bloed and Regina looked so serious when they heard Gina's story.

" Bloed, are you sure this is safe?" Gina asked in a nervous tone.

Bloed smiled gently and patted her head. "Don't worry, nothing will happen." He then closed the ESP activating capsule with Gina inside.

Gina gulped down, but she decided to trust Bloed despite her nervousness. One second later, though, she started to feel really sleepy.

"This is"

But before she could understand the situation, her eyes closed and she fell asleep.

"Master, the anesthesia was effective."

"Good. We can start the process then." Bloed nodded. He then pressed some buttons on the floating screen in front of him to configure the capsule.

At that moment, the other two people beside him were unable to suppress their doubts.

"Young master Bloed, what are you doing to my sister?" Sara asked coldly. She seemed ready to unsheathe her dagger at the first sign that something was wrong.

Bloed, however, was unruffled.

"Don't worry, I just want to know if my guess is right."

"Guess?" Sara frowned. To be honest, since the moment Regina activated a black jewel and this chamber appeared in the garden, she was completely lost.

Just the fact that Regina was in possession of a spatial artifact was incredible, but after she entered inside, her surprise multiplied. She saw many things that she had not seen before and she did not have any idea of how they worked. It was as though she had entered a completely new world.

When Bloed asked her little sister to enter the strange capsule and later put her to sleep, Sara got the impulse to attack them. If not that she didn't feel any ill will coming from Bloed or Regina, she would have attacked already.

"Bloed, could it be that you truly believe Gina's words?" Liu Ying asked curiously. "I have head about prophets before, but they are always swindlers. Even the gods themselves admitted they could not predict the future."

"Hey, are you telling Gina is a liar?" Sara's eyes turned cold.

Liu Ying shrugged. "I just said that it's impossible to see the future. Maybe she just had a strange dream and is confused."

"Now now, stop it." Bloed shook his head. "Now is not the time to argue. And yes, Liu Ying, I believe her."

"Huh?"

Bloed smiled mysteriously. "Liu Ying, the universe is bigger than you think. Believe me, the ability to pry into the future truly exists, and I'm 60% sure Gina has it."

Both Liu Ying and Sara were stunned.

Bloed then looked into the capsule. "We are here to prove it. Regina, start the process."

"Master, are you sure you don't want to activate her ESP abilities? She will need to rest 15 days if she did not activate them today."

Bloed hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "Better not. I'm not sure if I want to bring ESP abilities to this world yet."

Regina nodded.

She then pressed a button, and the process started.

"Confirming vital signs Nothing out of place. Confirming the width of her brain waves The width of her brain waves is normal. Loading subject data Data recognized Starting in three, two, one"

*Tsuuuuuu!!!*

With that sound as a signal, a powerful brainwave was released. The brainwave was powerful enough for Bloed, Liu Ying, and Sara to feel a slight headache.

Sara's expression turned worried. "Are you sure everything is alright?"

"It is, don't worry." Bloed smiled to relieve her.

Sara nodded. However, her hand clenched the hem of her shirt.

At that moment, Regina spoke.

"Psychic reaction confirmed. It looks like there are ESP abilities in her body after all."

"As expected." Bloed nodded with a smile. "Do you have the data?"

"Wait a moment Here it is. Miss Gina has a total of, mm?"

"Regina? What happened?" Bloed looked at Regina in surprise.

Regina shook her head with a wry smile. "It's nothing, I was just a bit surprised. Master, miss Gina has a total of three ESP abilities."

"Three!!!?"

"Yes, three." Regina nodded. "One more than you."

Bloed was speechless. He was not expecting this.

" Whew~ Is this girl some kind of monster?"

Regina did not know how to reply. She just shook her head and explained the data.

"The first one is nothing great. [E-Grade Mana Manipulation]. It's the standard ESP ability of this world's inhabitants, but hers is not very strong."

Bloed nodded. He already knew that although Gina could use mana, she was not very talented at it. Such a result was normal.

"What is the second?"

" [C-Grade Allure]" Regina said with a strange expression.

Bloed's expression turned weird. "This is a very strange ability."

Thinking about it, Bloed remembered that he was normally unable to raise his guard against Gina. This was probably the reason.

[Allure] is a very uncommon ESP ability. It did not have any uses in battle but was very good for negotiations and interpersonal relationships.

It was a kind of passive ability that affected the people around the user. The people affected will find the user more approachable, and find it hard to have ill will against him.

Gina's current psychic power was around E-Grade, so currently, this ability of hers was not very effective. But if she raised her psychic power to the C-Grade, or even higher, people will find it hard even to talk badly of her behind her back.

"[Mana Manipulation] and [Allure] huh What is her last ability?" Bloed asked.

Regina looked at Bloed with a serious expression.

"As you expected, master, it was a predictive ability, and it's of a rather high grade."

Regina then stared at the girl sleeping in the chamber with a complicated expression.

"SS-Grade, [Precognition]."
