22.22% My Eyes Can Copy Everything. / Chapter 2: 02 - Useful Eyes!

Kapitel 2: 02 - Useful Eyes!

Feeling a weak pain through my body, I was a little scared as I woke up; still with a slow head from sleep.

The sensation of pain I was feeling was as if I had done an intense workout at the gym to exercise every muscle in my body the previous night.

'Why am I feeling this pain?' I mentally asked myself still confused.

With some difficulty, I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to look at myself in the mirror.

As it was a hot night, I had slept without a shirt on, so when I turned on the bathroom light and looked in the mirror I was shocked.

My belly had shrunk!

Only yesterday I was thinking how great it would be if mana could help me get more defined, but who knew it really helped?!

Sure, I had a demarcated belly, but my abdomen lost at least 10% of its previous fat.

Pushing my finger through my belly, I could feel some muscle that wasn't there before.

Curious, I grabbed the scale from under the bathroom sink and weighed myself.

Yesterday I was weighing 80 kg (176 Pounds) and after weighing myself now again my weight had dropped to 76 kg (167 Pounds)! In just one night of sleep I lost 4 kg!

But after weighing myself I started to feel my stomach growl.

'Looks like the fat wasn't burned by magic, but was probably used to replenish my energy overnight.' I tried to guess why.

Seeing that it was already 05:00 I decided to just make breakfast instead of going back to sleep.

I was famished, and seeing that the muscles in my arms had also grown a little, I figured what I needed most now was protein.

The simplest way to deal with this is to make a typical Bacon Eggs.

As I made the eggs, I was going to activate my eyes, but I realized that was weird.

"Treating this ability as just 'my eyes' is weird, maybe I can give it a name… like what?" I wondered aloud.

My creativity for names has never been this good, so after a few minutes of thinking I just gave up and decided to call it S-Eyes, as an obvious reference in the eyes of the U family of that one anime.

With that decided I activated my S-Eyes and started analyzing my body.

A pleasant surprise was that with the S-Eyes activated I could see in great detail how well cooked the eggs was even though it was still in the shell in the hot water!

'Will I finally be able to cook something delicious?' I wondered excitedly.

Since I moved to live alone the only time I ate something delicious was when I bought food from some restaurant or went to someone else's house to eat, my own food was terrible!

But now with S-Eyes I will finally be able to cook the food to the ideal point.

Looking at my body I was surprised at the amount of Mana I had circulating through the thousands of lines in my body.

If yesterday I thought that I only had 50 Units of Mana in total, now I have found that to be totally wrong! In fact, after comparing what I remembered with my Mana from yesterday I found that I was probably around 100 Mana Units!

That was enough to teleport at least 10 meters!

Finally knowing how much Mana I had in my body, I was able to calculate that my activated S-Eyes consumed around 2 Mana Units per minute, so if I kept the S-Eyes activated for 50 minutes I would already be depleted of Mana, that Regardless of how tired I got low on Mana yesterday, maybe I shouldn't leave S-Eyes on for more than 30 minutes, as apparently I only started feeling tired yesterday when my Mana reached 20% of what I have today.

In addition to the Mana level that grew, I also found why I lost so much weight while sleeping and why my muscles grew overnight.

The Mana that flowed through these thousands of lines was slowly leaking throughout my body, and that energy was actually nourishing my body.

When the protein in my muscles comes in contact with the Mana that has leaked through these lines, the protein breaks down a bit and ignites, which causes my body to consume fat to replace it, causing more muscle to grow in its place.

But unlike someone who trains at the gym for an hour or two during the day, my muscles stayed up all night getting this kind of stimulation, which resulted in a much better result!

'It's a good thing Mana isn't destructive, because if this stimulus was as intense as the one in the gym I probably wouldn't even be able to get out of bed today, or maybe my muscles were really destroyed while I slept and I could never get up again!' I was scared for a few seconds.

After 5 minutes with S-Eyes activated, I deactivated it. My total amount of Mana had decreased by 10%, and now I wanted to see how long it would take to recover.

I waited another 5 minutes and activated my S-Eyes again to observe my body. From what I understand, during those 5 minutes that I waited my body recovered 5 Mana Units, so I understood that I was recovering 1 Unit per minute.

'That's a good rate of recovery with my current amount of Mana, but what if I increase my Mana in the future, will that regeneration also increase?' I started to think of some problems I could have.

Another question came to my mind. 'If I spend 2 Units of Mana with S-Eyes activated, maybe the consumption that this has is 3 Units of Mana per minute, but as I recover 1 Unit per minute automatically this cost drops to only 2 Units!'

'If I can figure out a way to increase my Mana regeneration to 3 Units per second I could theoretically keep my S-Eyes activated at all times!' A bold idea came to my mind!

Thinking about how cool it would be to have infinite Mana I got really excited, so that was set as one of my goals for the future. Unfortunately I still had no idea what to do to increase my Mana regeneration.

'And how can I increase my total amount of Mana?' I started to wonder.

Looking at my muscles I had an idea. 'I can test common training, I will use my Mana several times during the day and see if at the end of the day the total amount has increased.'

The food I made actually tasted so much better, the egg was cooked to the perfect temperature, while the bacon was perfectly fried with no burnt parts.

Having finished breakfast I washed the dishes I soiled and opened one of my drawers.

In that drawer I kept my sunglasses.

As I intended to spend my Mana during the day, instead of using teleportation which would attract a lot of attention and would be more likely to go wrong, if I wore sunglasses while activating S-Eyes it would be safer.

I didn't have many sunglasses, only five, but among those five was a steampunk model. It was round and the edges of it were pulled back slightly, which would cover my eyes from other people even if they were next to me, while the dark lens would cover the front!

To test whether or not it was possible to discern my eye color through the glasses I activated the S-Eyes and took a selfie with my cell phone, in addition to recording a video with the camera in max quality.

After all the tests it was confirmed that my red pupils were not visible through the glasses and that the glasses didn't stop my S-Eyes from seeing the Mana lines on my body, I finished getting ready and went out for work.

The fees of my University were too high for my parents, so in addition to studying I also needed a job to cope.

As I study Business Administration, I got a job as a manager in an Adidas store in a shopping mall near my University.

The salary was enough for me to support myself, in addition to being able to buy clothes from the store at cost price, which already saved me a lot of money, the environment was also quite nice.

All the employees were young, the customers were young, and best of all, it was okay if I wore sunglasses while working, as normally in stores of this type, the more stylish the employees are, the more customers will come in to purchase products.

As the temperature was hot, I just wore a black shirt with a large white Adidas logo on the chest, gray cargo pants and white Streetchecks.

As my hair was black, both the white sneaker and the Adidas logo on the chest were very prominent, which was great for someone who worked at Adidas, and even better for someone who wanted to draw attention away from their own eyes.

[A reference image of his appearance is in the server. Link: .gg/ky35Kv7GHr or at the end of the chapter and in the comments.]

Normally I wake up at 06:00 and go to work at 07:00, and since it took me an hour to have breakfast and get ready, but it was 06:00 now, and the store wouldn't open until 08:00, meaning I still had one hour to spare.

'Can I play a game in this free time?' I thought with a wicked smile on my face.

Sitting down in front of my computer, I was quick to open Fortnite.

This is a game I really enjoy hanging out with, but I have to admit that I'm really not very good at playing it. In terms of both my building speed and the accuracy of my aim, I was not an amazing player to say the least.

But it isn't as if I'm a terrible player, I'd say I'm just a little below average, out of every 20 games I win at least one.

But with S-Eyes for the first time I felt like a really good player!

When the game started I activated my S-Eyes. Games last an average of 10-15 minutes, so I didn't have to worry about my Mana consumption.

Playing Fortnite with those eyes was like using a Hack. When someone appeared in front of me it was like everything was in slow motion and I had a lot more time to build and more time to control my aim towards the opponent.

Even if the opponent appeared in just a few small pixels at the corner of the screen, I could still see them and go towards that person.

In just 10 minutes I got 18 kills and ended the game with a win.

I was shocked by this, I had never killed so many people in a single game!

When the game was over I deactivated my S-Eyes and rested a bit to recover some Mana, then I played again and got another win!

Two wins in two games, this has only happened to me once before, and I was playing squads with some friends.

'Hehe, it seems that even in my daily life I can use S-Eyes to get some perks, I already know I can use it for cooking, now I found out that playing games is also a cheat, what else can that be useful?' I asked myself quite excitedly.


Kapitel 3: 03 - Are mages so rare?

I still managed to play one more game before having to go to work, and won it as well, winning all three of the games I played, a massive win in my book!

'The pleasure of victory is very sweet…' I blithed mentally.

When I went to work I left my S-Eyes off, as I didn't know the danger of using it on the street. My idea is to use it only at work, and only to observe people from afar, as I still don't understand anything about the wizarding world.

I hoped that along the way I might get lucky to see someone using magic so I could copy them, but unfortunately I didn't witness any of that.

Arriving at work I opened the door of the store, since besides the manager, I was the only one who had the key except for the owner and I went to sit in front of the computer that I normally use to write my reports and sales transcripts to send to the owner.

I usually sit by the door waiting for someone to come in and talk to them, but today I just intended to stand further away and watch.

A few minutes later the other staff also arrived and after I used S-Eyes on them, I couldn't feel any Mana coming from them.

'Apparently I'm the only mage here at work.' I thought with a sigh of relief, as I didn't know what would happen if another mage so close to me found out that I had become a mage as well.

After a few hours, when the mall finally started to receive a lot of customers, I got up from my seat and went to the store's entrance to watch the people who were strolling about.

While I was at the door I could hear some staff cracking jokes about how I was acting weird today, but as I knew that they were just jokes I didn't take them seriously as I had something more important to test.

Unfortunately my test didn't have any positive results, of the dozens of people I observed, none of them had magic.

This made me have some theories, one of which was that mages are actually just a small minority among normal humans and that it would be very difficult to find another mage among so many ordinary people.

The other theory was that maybe there is a place where only wizards live, like a country within a country, just like that book series about a young wizard who went to an all-wizard school I read once.

Because of my lack of knowledge, I currently couldn't think of other possibilities, but despite the difficulty I still continued for a few hours watching at the door.

Normally I spent just 20 minutes at the door before coming back and resting for 40 minutes. At least once an hour I would go to the door and watch people walking with my S-Eyes, but after my 8 hours of work and 2 hours of lunch I couldn't find anyone.

'Maybe my assumptions really make sense…' I thought after switching shifts with the supervisor who would take my place.

It was already 18:00, my classes would start in a short time, and so instead of going home, I went straight to campus, since I had already brought my material to work with me.

As I walked around campus, some people waved at me and greeted me, which I responded back with a smile on my face.

During the years I spent studying here I attended a lot of parties, so while I can't call these people friends, most of them I've chatted for a few minutes and we follow each other on social media, the basics of courtesy in a social environment today.

Most of the invites I got were because of how well dressed I always came to classes, as I always came after work, the clothes I always wore were from Adidas, which was already way better than being part of the people who didn't even comb their hair before coming.

Of course, it's not like I look bad, but since I've never bothered to work out, my body has always been a little overweight, which diminished some of the points I got for the outfit.

But now that even this problem has been resolved, I might attract even more attention.

I've never chased attention or sought to be the center of attention, but I've also learned that it doesn't do any good to shy away from attention, especially in a competitive corporate environment, the phrases I heard most from my teachers is 'Enjoy college to build your Networking and don't forget that those who are not seen, are not remembered.'

Because of these phrases I have always been concerned about being well dressed for all occasions.

"Hihi!" I heard a familiar voice. "Why are you wearing sunglasses at this hour?"

With a smile on my face I turned towards the voice and replied playfully. "It's for not seeing your ugly face in such detail."

In my direction there was a man and a woman walking. The two became a couple since their first week of college and have been together for several years now.

They are my friends Luke and Kayla.

"Ugly face? If I was ugly I wouldn't get the best girl on campus in the first week." He said with a proud smile as he ran his hand over Kayla's shoulder.

Kayla just rolled her eyes at him and ignored what he said, before greeting me. "Sup Oli."

From her reaction and how Luke had already come to fawning over her, I soon understood that he probably did or said something stupid that made her angry and now she's ignoring him.

This is nothing new to me, as it happens at least once a week.

"Are you going to Laney's party tomorrow? They said she invited a very famous DJ on Instagram." Luke asked me excitedly.

Of our group of friends, I'm usually the one who gets the party invites, as I'm the single one and in the end I end up taking both Luke and Kayla with me.

At first it wasn't like that, but when people realized that they enjoyed the party for at most an hour before disappearing to do something hidden and never coming back, the invitations stopped coming.

But it's not like people don't like them, during the one hour party they attend they are very nice people, but it's only that they drink a little alcohol and that they can't stop kissing and disappear.

It's not like I worry about it, as usually after they're gone I go out to meet new people, and that's when so many party invites arrive.

The 'Be seen and be remembered' is fully in effect with me.

"Yeah, I plan to go, but I'm depending on whether my boss asks me to work tomorrow." I said pretending to sigh.

This was a lie, my boss rarely asked me to do anything outside of my Monday through Friday shift. In the job interview he wanted someone to work from Sunday to Sunday, but I told him that I could handle everything during the week and that if it wasn't enough then I could go during the weekends.

As I kept my promise, it was hardly necessary for me to go during the weekends.

But my friends don't know that, normally this is the excuse I give when I need to refuse something at the last minute, after all, if the boss says so, who am I to refuse?

The reason I lie about this to them is that with this Mana in my body, instead of going to a party tomorrow, maybe I can spend the night trying to find more information.

I don't want to have to look it up on the internet since I'm going to type in some keyword that beeps at the FBI? But in case I can't figure anything out, maybe I can just live my life with my teleport and my S-Eyes.

"Damn man, you know you're our entrance ticket!" Luke complained.

"If you guys enjoyed at least one whole party, maybe I wouldn't need to be the ticket." I responded with disdain.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw that Kayla had been a little embarrassed when I'd mentioned that, which made me roll my eyes at this perverted couple.

As we weren't taking the same course, our classes didn't match up today, so I went to a room on the second floor while they went to the first after we said our goodbyes.

When I arrived in the classroom a few people greeted me or commented on me wearing sunglasses in class and I replied back with a joke before sitting in the place I normally sit in and took another test.

My Mana had already recharged to 100% again, which allowed me to use my S-Eyes once more while observing the people in the classroom.

As I sat in the back of the room, I was able to look at everyone without them noticing that I was staring at them, of course, not to mention that I had my sunglasses on.

As S-Eyes couldn't see Mana lines through clothing, I focused my attention on places where people's skin was exposed, places like neck, shins, and hands were the most common parts.

Unfortunately, even though almost everyone had already arrived, no one seemed to have any Mana, which left me quite disappointed. I searched all day but couldn't find anyone.

But just before I deactivated my S-Eyes, I saw a person walking through the classroom door.

When the other students saw this person, everyone became quiet and paid attention to him.

Elena Hendrix. From the first day of school she was wearing a mask to cover her mouth, no one ever got to see her mouth as she usually went to some secluded place to eat.

Most of the words she speaks are to answer the teacher's questions, as for the other students, everyone notices that she speaks politely, but she has always kept her distance from people.

She has never been to a party, no one has ever met her outside of college, she has no social media profile, her life is a complete mystery to most students.

Some people even gossiped that maybe she was the daughter of some mob boss, or maybe her father was someone very important in the government.

But that was just rumors, no one had the courage to say it to her face until today because of her aura, a cold aura that despite her politeness didn't let anyone get closer than necessary.

But what surprised me was that when she walked into the classroom, my S-Eyes saw some blue lines running down her hands and legs!

'Is she also a mage?!' I asked myself in surprise.

Paying close attention you could actually see that she was really a mage, but for some reason the Mana in her body was much thinner than mine, calculating by the color of her Mana, currently she was at most, 30% of my total Mana.

This could be because she used up the rest of her Mana before class started, or she really has low natural Mana.

As she doesn't show the slightest bit of fatigue, this adds even more points to the possibility that her base Mana is relatively low.

Normally she arrives in the classroom and goes straight to her seat, but today she paused for a split second at the door, closed her eyes and lifted her nose for a breath, before showing a confused expression and going to sit down as she looked around. Gazing around looking for something.

Seeing this action of hers I was shocked. 'Did she find out that there's another wizard in the classroom?'

I thought about the possibility for a few seconds and saw that it's very likely that it happened, but seeing as how confused she acted, she probably doesn't know who it was.

'Should I go talk to her? As I don't know anything about this world, meeting someone who is also a part of it could be something advantageous for me.' I wondered. 'But what if she has bad intentions...'

During the class I paid little attention to what the teacher was explaining and spent most of the time just thinking about what to do and kept glancing at her from time to time to see if she discovered something, or to see if she used any spells.

But during the entire class she didn't even turn around, as if that hadn't happened in the beginning.

'Maybe I'm too paranoid? She might have stopped to smell someone's perfume that was still in the air.' I tried to calm down.

When class finally ended I continued to watch her.

She is usually the first student to leave, sometimes leaving even before the teacher.

But this time she was strangely quiet in her place.

The other students didn't notice this abnormality and started to leave.

In order not to give in, I also packed my material and got up to leave, even avoiding the row next to her, but as I was passing by, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that she had also gotten up.

And she was coming my way!
