Chapter 99: Ending Spotlight (P9)
At the White Holt Castle
Inside her room, Hanuri stared at a floating, sky-blue, glowing box — an ethereal screen hovering in the air. Her eyes relaxed, almost playful.
Hanuri:
Ohh, so he really is coming… And Zeltra actually asked him to find me, huh?
Alright then… let's see what he ca_
Her words were suddenly cut off by a voice at the door.
Voice:
"Hmm… may I come in, Hanuri?"
Hanuri turned her head.
Hanuri:
"Ohh, it's you, Silvie. Yeah, come in."
Silvana entered -- calm at first -- until her eyes locked onto the glowing box.
Silvana:
"W-Wait… Hanuri… what is that?!"
Hanuri:
"Oh, this? Just the Observer."
Silvana froze.
Silvana:
"W-W-WHAT?! T-The Observer!? Really?! Who is controlling it!?"
Hanuri shrugged with a casual puppy-like expression.
Hanuri:
"Relax. I'm the one who created it, and I'm controlling it."
Silvana nearly trembled.
Silvana:
"B-But the Observer requires insane concentration! If your control slips even once… your soul"
Hanuri (playful):
"Yeah yeah, I know~ Don't worry. I can handle five more. It's fine."
Silvana's mind went blank.
Silvana (inner voice):
F-Five more?! It's already impossible for anyone to master even one… and she's controlling six like it's nothing…?
She cleared her throat.
Silvana:
"S-So… what are you checking?"
Hanuri:
"Nothing big, just looking at someone."
Silvana:
"If you don't want to share, that's fine."
Hanuri:
"Thanks. Anyway, I already got the info I wanted. Let's go _ I need fresh air."
Silvana:
"…Alright."

At the White Holy Castle Library
Ixia sat alone, quietly reading Sector Selection: Legacy of Legends.
She gently flipped a page when Xixi walked in and spotted her.
Xixi:
"Hi Ms. Ixia! How are you?"
Ixia:
"Oh, hi. I'm good. What about you?"
Xixi:
"Same! Umm… what are you reading?"
Ixia:
"Oh, this? The novel Sector Selection: Legacy of Legends. Only one chapter left until Chapter 100… so I'm catching up."
Xixi:
"Ohhh, nice! But um… can I ask something?"
Ixia:
"Of course. Anything."
Xixi:
"I recently learned a bit about the Observer skill, but I can't find any detailed info. Could you… tell me more?"
Ixia:
"Observer, huh? Understandable. It's a skill so dangerous it's practically forbidden. But I can lend you the book."
Xixi:
"Really?!"
Ixia:
"Yep."
She waved her hand gracefully, opening a swirling portal made of pale light.
Ixia:
"Search inside."
Xixi blinked.
Xixi:
"O-Okay… let me try."
She reached into the portal, rummaged for a few seconds, and finally pulled out a book.
Xixi:
"Ms. Ixia, I got it!"
Ixia:
"Good. Pull your hand out now."
Xixi withdrew her arm, and Ixia closed the portal with a soft hum.
Xixi:
"Thank you, Ms. Ixia. I'll return it after I read it!"
Ixia:
"Sure. But listen - do not try using the Observer skill. Understand?"
Xixi:
"…Yes."
Xixi bowed slightly and hurried to her room.
Ixia returned to her book.

Xixi's Study Session (1 Hour Later)
After an hour of reading the Observer book, Xixi highlighted the crucial points:
---
Important Points About the Observer Skill
1. Observer is a scouting ability used to watch anyone from any distance.
2. The Observer is a soul-link skill the caster must place 20% of their original soul into it.
3. The user must stay fully focused.
If they lose control, their 20% soul is erased from existence.
4. Only beings of at least Divine or Angel level can even attempt it.
5. More Observers = more soul.
1 Observer = 20%
2 Observers = 40%
…
5 Observers = 100%
6. If someone uses more than 5, then every set of 5 counts as a full soul.
Meaning: a top-tier being could theoretically summon 10+ Observers.
7. The skill isn't forbidden it's just so impossibly difficult that it became forbidden.
8. Final rule:
The user can hide themselves inside the Observer.
