[The Analyze skill has reached the necessary requirements to evolve]

[Analyze has evolved into a C-Tier skill]

The notifications continued onwards, but Mako stopped on this particular prompt as it was most likely the most important one to Mako. The Analyze skill was a skill that Mako was blessed to have from the very start and has helped him out in countless situations.

When Mako defeated Bill in the school duel, he received the Analyze skill as a reward from the system. This was the first time that Mako had observed a skill with the caption "upgradable" next to it.

The conditions for the evolution were quite vague and misleading so Mako ended up forgetting about them completely but he understood that the last piece of the puzzle was the level upgrade of Analyze to level 5 which triggered the evolution.

Mako was excited to see just what benefits this new and improved skill brought to the table and he quickly changed tabs over to the skills tab to see for himself.

[(C-Tier) Analyze] ⓘ (Level 1)

[Upgradable!] ⓘ

[Analyze is an ocular type skill that upon activating, turns the user's Iris a faint red color. While active, the user's eyes become special as they can bring up and read the information regarding any object as long as it is within the range of the user's knowledge, and the profile chart and vitals of any person as long as that person is weaker or equal to the user in terms of power.

Additionally, Analyze now has the ability to be able to use sonar detection. Sonar detection is a sub-skill of the main skill Analyze, as it allows the user to sense anything around them in any direction up to a defined limit.

While sonar detection is active, the user can only see beyond walls and any other solid objects, but only in black and white as the skill is not advanced enough to register colors. While active, the user can use Analyze on anything that is within the range of their sonar detection without ever directly looking at it.]

[Upgrade requirements: Upgrade Analyze Level to a certain level (unknown), Continuous usage to a certain point (unknown), Acquire Player Status Level to Level 15]

[Evolution benefits: Unknown]

The evolution definitely did not disappoint as the skill was basically turning into an ability itself as the skill itself started to branch into sub-skills. Mako had no knowledge about whether or not sub-skills were a legitimate thing or not with high-level skills, but from the information that he knew now, that was not the case and his skill was quite unique.

**********

Mako could hear the faint sound of clashing as his friends battled against Natasha and the imposter. He looked over at them for a quick second and noticed that Natasha and the imposter were quite decent fighters in their own right; however, they were heavily outmatched as the imposter was facing Iris, Bill, and Leon at the same time while the imposter was facing the enraged Erin alone.

Before checking the system notifications, Mako had tried to use Analyze on the imposter again and this time his skill had succeeded.

Keep in mind this was before, Mako had viewed the notification that he had leveled up. The way that his system worked for level-up rewards was quite tedious and it was that until Mako had opened the system and viewed the level upgrades himself, he wouldn't receive the upgrade rewards.

This meant that Mako was still using Level 4 D-Tier Analyze skill which had failed to analyze the imposter before but had succeeded now. Mako really had no idea why such a thing had occurred so he decided to see whether the imposter's profile would give him some answers.

[Analyze]

[Profile: Haruto Tanaka]

[Ability: Shape-Shifting (Level 4), Lightning (Level 3)] ⓘ

[Ability: Shape-Shifting (Level 4)] ⓘ

[A utility ability excellent for covert and undercover operations. The ability allows the user to transform into the shape of any living thing that they have consumed an ounce of the blood of. Though a bit rare, the abilities, the main feature is that not only does the ability mimic the look and shape of the target but as the ability grows and evolves, it can also mimic the voice, DNA, and even auras of the target, thus completely fooling everyone.]

This was the first time that Mako had seen a shapeshifter in real life as the usage of the ability was actually heavily restricted by the military. They were extremely rare and the ones that did exist all became part of the military as the military gave them a special contract that would make them set for life.

This was all done because the military didn't want anyone else to have them and potentially infiltrate their bases to extract information.

Both Natasha and Haruto were invaluable assets to Mikhail; however, they weren't that strong by themselves as they always relied on Mikhail to protect them. Now that, Mikhail was gone, these two were being given a taste of their own medicine as neither could properly defend themselves and were being played around with by Mako's friends.

Leon and Bill had some really tragic things happen to them in the past and Natasha made them relive those moments several times while they were under the control of her ability which was why they weren't holding back at all and were letting her know just how painful it could be to mess with one's emotions.

On the other hand, Iris had her own beef to settle with Haruto as this guy had impersonated her boyfriend and fooled her into thinking she was finally reunited with her love. Just the memories of kissing and cuddling around with that fake Andrew were making Erin's blood boil and that was reflected by the intense glow she had in her eyes.

There wasn't much Haruto could do against an Ice ability user who had also awakened her mutant ice gene as he only had one combat-based ability which wasn't enough. Now, he was basically being tossed around and slammed into walls of ice again and again by Erin who didn't have any intention of stopping anytime soon.

Mako decided to leave them to his friends to deal with as he resumed scrolling through his notification to see what else the system had in store for him.

[Match the conditions to evolve a skill one time]

[Reward: +50,000 EXP, One Random skill, +50 Attribute points]

[Choosing Random Skill]

[New Skill Learned: (D-Tier) Sprint!] ⓘ

(NEW!) [(D-Tier) Sprint] ⓘ (Level 1)

[An advanced ability move that allows the user to temporarily increase their blood flow to their thighs and legs by 100%, giving the user increased agility for one minute. The abnormal amount of increased blood flow would generally be dangerous for any human being; however, sprint allows the user to also direct pure mana toward them which allows the user to reinforce their legs and utilize the output of their legs at maximum capacity.]

[Agility: +25]

[Requirements: 45 Fortitude, 40 Stamina]

[Cost: 300 Energy]

Another great skill that looked like an upgrade to the skill that Mako already had is called "Dash". Dash would provide a less significant boost than Sprint but it also used a lot less energy making it so that Mako could be more versatile and choose how much of a speed buff he wanted and whether he had sufficient energy to do so in the first place.

| сom Mako was genuinely impressed by the rewards given by the hidden quest, but he still had one more set of notifications left to go through and that was from the rewards for turning level 13.

Mako was already so impressed by how many things he had unlocked in a single run; most were chain reactions to a precious accomplishment.

Before checking out the final set of notifications that the system had for him, Mako wanted to first check out his profile and see how much had actually changed.

Nothing really drastic had changed in his status sheet other than the fact that he now had to somehow obtain 4 MILLION EXP in order to level up to level 14. Mako had been trying to ignore this problem for a while now because he was hoping that the system would find a way to compensate him and give him relatively increased amounts of EXP for his quests but that doesn't seem like the case at all.

Mako had to really focus on figuring out a way to farm EXP if he ever wanted to reach level 15 which would be another 8 million EXP. However, there was nothing he could really do about it at the moment so he decided to keep to the side for now but vowed that he would figure out a solution to his EXP problem.

With that out of the way, Mako excitedly reopened the notifications tab to read through the last reward that he had received for leveling up and it was one Mako was most excited about because he had only ever received this reward once before.

The new skill set reward was how Mako learned the phantom skills which were his very first skills and one of his favorite. The system had always given him great skills as rewards and was super excited to see just what new skill set had he obtained this time.
