An Extra’s POV

"All complete!"

Rey was done with all the restrictions and commands that he could think of in no time, and Ater accepted them all in full stride. There were no complaints about any of the Commands or restraints that he was placed under.

Even Rey felt like he was being unfair at a point, but Ater didn't raise any objection.

'It's strange, though…' Rey's thoughts trailed.

Why would the System warn Rey about Ater, and why would The Oracle do the same, when his Skills could perfectly keep Ater at bay and the Familiar in question was perfectly subservient.

'Is it because he's dangerous to everyone else, except his Master? I wonder…'

But if that was the case, then why wasn't [Clairvoyance] working on him? At this point, that was the last strand that his doubts were clinging to.

If that could be answered satisfactorily, he would be able to dismiss the genuine concerns of The Oracle, as well as his own.

'And who better to ask about this than Ater himself?'

Rey had contemplated this for a while—ever since he realized that Ater was exempt from [Clairvoyance]—but it was only until now that ht felt he could make the informed decision to present the issue.

"Why can't I use [Clairvoyance] on you?"

"Pardon?"

"I can't use [Clairvoyance] on you, despite it being an SSS-Tier Skill. Does that even make any sense? You should have an explanation for that, right?"
