YM778.TV Chapter 146: So You're The Stalker
Is this some sort of new ranking system?
The system brought up a message before Mark could think too hard about what EPIC rank meant.
[The system could not quantify Rose Snow\'s power based on the available rankings that humans use. Therefore, the system has reverted back to the base ranking system that is available everywhere else in the universe. The F to S ranks are still valid and in accordance with the power ranking used by the rest of the universe, but four extra ranks have been added to extend the power system ranking.
EPIC Rank, PHANTASMAL Rank, TRANSCENDENTAL Rank, PRIMORDIAL Rank.]

It only took a few moments for the system to upload the new information to Mark, and Mark managed to digest all of them in almost no time. Mark couldn\'t help but be a bit disappointed by the amount of power that Luna possessed. She was already an EPIC Rank I, but her potential was at EPIC Rank II. That meant that she had a very long way to go, and she could become much stronger if she pushed herself.
Salazar only had a potential of A, but he was already an S Rank. With her high potential, Luna should be a lot stronger than she is now. Why is she only this strong?
Mark didn\'t know the answer to that question, and he didn\'t think he would ever get close enough to her to find out the reason behind it so he forgot all about it. He just watched silently as Luna approached him.
Mark inclined his head slightly as a greeting, and Luna smiled at his silence. So he was not going to respond; that was okay, she could deal with suspicion better than animosity. Luna knew that Mark might not know her, so she was not going to expect him to suddenly greet her in a friendly manner and accept her greeting without some suspicion.
"My name is Luna, the leader of the Moonlight Guild. I was passing through the city and I couldn\'t help but notice your fight against the calamity class. I thought I would come and help in case you could not defeat it alone, but it turns out that it was not needed after all. A shame."
[Styxwatche\'s Discernment has detected a lie: Rose Snow has been in the city for the past week, and she has kept constant vigilance on the user throughout that time.]
Mark\'s guard was immediately up once more as he saw the message from his system. Mark almost forgot about the Divine skill that Charon gave him. The skill prevented people from lying to him and it was always working since it was a passive skill.
That meant that Luna has been stalking him all this while? That was admittedly creepy. Hold on, does that mean that she is the one that has been giving him that strange feeling all this time? Mark had been feeling like someone was watching him, but no matter how many times he tried to find the person he could never see anyone.
If it is someone like Luna, then Mark knows that it is possible for her to hide her presence from him while watching him.
Mark did not know what to think about her watching him, but the expression on his face changed to a slightly irritated one as he raised a brow at Luna. Was she the sort of person who did not understand the meaning of personal life and didn\'t care about imposing on others just to achieve her own aims?
Luna was stunned as she noticed Mark\'s expression change. This was new to her, and she did not know what was going through his head that would make him look at her like that. Luna told Mark that she just arrived in the city to make it seem like she was impressed with his ability.
That would allow her to invite him into her guild more fluidly since humans were all more willing to agree to suggestions when they felt like they were being praised.
But Mark\'s reaction was something that she could have never expected. Did he notice her watching him the past week? That was the only thing that would make him look at her like that. Luna might be a powerhouse, but she was still a woman and she could understand how creepy it was for someone to stick around watching you secretly for an entire week without any sort of interaction.
If Mark knew that she had been watching him all this time, then she was practically digging a grave for herself in this negotiation.
Luna didn\'t show any external reaction, and she simply waited for Mark to say something before talking again. It took some time for Mark to finally talk, but when he spoke, Luna could practically feel a small blush rising on her cheek after she heard his cheeky tone.
"So you\'re the one that has been watching me? I thought I felt eyes on the back of my neck. Who would have guessed that the leader of the Moonlight Guild was a stalker."
Luna\'s blush increased even more, and she coughed into her palm. How in the world did Mark manage to notice her? She made sure that she was not seen, and she stayed at a reasonable distance every time she followed him on his jogs. Luna could not deny his accusation since he seemed certain of what he was saying. Denying it might only make her look worse in his eyes if he has proof.
Since she could no longer deny it now, she was just going to play it off.
"So you noticed me? I suppose I should apologize for that. I was just trying to see if you were a good fit for my guild; I never meant to impose on your daily life. But from what I have seen, I can say that I am impressed. You handle difficult situations far better than most S rank that I know."
"Thank you. But I thought I already sent a message out to all the guilds around that I didn\'t want to join –"
"I know."
Luna cut Mark off with a hard look on her face and Mark rose a brow in surprise.
