Everyone got the language converter masks, which they had to put on so that they could deal with the Crappy Birds.

    The mask could do both, convert Crappy Bird’s language to Human language, and vice versa.

    It was so that humans would be able to deliver a more appropriate insult if they knew what the Crappy Birds were talking about.

    Eryndor was new to such an idea of fighting with beasts if he was being honest.

    I guess there are all kinds of things in the universe huh.

    After putting on the mask, he followed everyone, disembarking the spaceship, and headed towards the small base.

    Once he was given a few supplies used to deal with Crappy Birds and essentials needed to wander alone, Eryndor departed from the small base.

    He didn’t go far though. Eryndor climbed on the branch of a certain tree and let loose his range.

    Once he had confirmed that team Lockheim had left the small base, he returned.

    Once inside, he asked an agent for a location tracker.

    With a deliberately embarrassed expression, Eryndor said.

    "I am kind of bad with directions, can you not inform team Lockheim about this?"

    It was the same agent who had patted him on the back and boasted about other energies being not less important than the new four ones.

    The agent laughed heartily after hearing the request.

    "It’s alright. Being bad with directions is nothing to be ashamed of, just make sure to keep learning how you can deal with it.

    "In this era, nearly nothing is impossible. Don’t worry, I got you covered. None of them will know about this."

    After getting a location tracker, he put it in his pocket and headed into the opposite direction from where the other three went.

    Naturally, it was all an act, he just wanted to get the location tracker.

    Why? He wanted to make an evidence for himself just in case. He intended to keep records on what locations he had been to.

    Glancing at the map of surroundings locations, he moved from tree to tree, eventually arriving at a small clearing.

    Eryndor’s enhanced memory after cultivating allowed him to remember minute details, not to mention he was already good with numbers before this.

    Else he wouldn’t have had a job in the IT department.

    The name of the movement cultivation art he got from the library was called shadowstep.

    It was one of the more difficult movement arts out there, with there being two modes.

    First was a normal one, where Shadowstep would increase your speed as soon as you circulated its given circuit once, and the second one was when you stepped onto shadows.

    If you stepped on a shadow while circulating the Shadowstep, the movement boost one would get would be more than in the normal case.

    In short, this movement art was best used with multiple shadows around.

    After making sure the circuit was correct, Eryndor controlled his Qi through the meridians mentioned.

    As soon as the cycle was completed, Eryndor felt a lightness in his legs unlike anything he had felt before.

    It lasted only for a few seconds.

    If he wanted to keep up his enhanced speed, he would have to continue circulating the Qi through the circulation route of Shadowstep.

    Eryndor made sure to keep his ability in a passive state at all times to use the extended vision.

    Even if he had deliberately picked a location away from the base and opposite to team Lockheim’s direction, he didn’t want to take any chances.

    He would also be able to achieve the state of using his ability and moving proficiently at the same time.

    Eryndor recalled that, up until now, he had only been able to use his ability once during battle.

    It was during his first mission, when an infected cat jumped on him. Back then, he had used Telekinesis to slightly shift the jump path of the cat.

    He hadn’t switched to third person view back then.

    Is it because I acted on instinct? There’s a part in me hidden away which can use these abilities as easily as breathing.

    From this incident itself, Eryndor knew he was far from being able to proficiently use his abilities.

    Keeping his range of vision active was exactly because he intended to be able to increase his proficiency.

    It was time to train Shadowstep and his abilities at the same time.
