I am an Eldritch Entity

Eryndor's focus was on the section of the board which mentioned how the Bureau of Anomaly Control would be formed.

He was looking at it because this was the best way in which he might be able to come in contact with more hidden information.

He hadn't forgotten the original reason he was sent here.

Dr. Kirchoff had sent him here saying that a danger was brewing and it would erupt in three months.

If he was still alive after three months then he would come to get him out of here.

Even after scanning so many memories, he hadn't even discovered a hint of danger which Dr. Kirchoff had talked about.

If it couldn't be found with a normal method, then what better way than to enroll in a department which would be dealing with anomalies?

Anomalies more or less always had something to do with danger. There was a high chance that he would be getting information which he couldn't find normally.

Within a few moments, he had already finished reading the board thoroughly.

He read it despite scanning the memories because he really didn't want to miss anything.

The requirements say that they would prioritize disciples on the rankings.

But it also mentions that they would also consider other disciples if they happened to have special talents.

It could range anywhere from information gathering, good at finding clues, or even good at alchemy no matter how basic your knowledge was.

Hmmm, did the only alchemist present in the Training Camp not join this department? Why else would they need a disciple with alchemy knowledge no matter how little?

Also, this department will be formed in a month, so I guess I still have a bit of time to prepare for it huh.

As Eryndor thought that, he turned around and left the main building while still in his thoughts.

Hmm…how do I join this department?

As mentioned before, even the lowest rank, the one at hundredth position, was at stage four of foundation building realm.

Eryndor would have to work incredibly hard if he wanted any chance at joining the department this way.

Well, he had a month.

Maybe if he worked hard and kept hunting beasts, exchanged for pills and madly strove to increase his realm, maybe it would work?

Well, there was a chance that it might not work as well.

For a greater certainty, he would also need to find resources in the wild which could facilitate his cultivation speed.

Finding resources is better than hunting beasts after all. The difference between the profit to effort ratio is simply too large.

He could save the time he would spend hunting beasts and invest it into cultivating that way.

As he kept walking, he also thought about the different ways in which he could join apart from just combat prowess. The special talents.

Well, how about efficiency?

Eryndor knew about the efficient style in which his eldritch form fought.

It was incredible. Simply too good.

Even Drakarion, who had the second closest efficient fighting style according to him, was far from the level of his eldritch form.

In the memories of these disciples, none of them came even close to Drakarion, not to mention his eldritch form.

Of course, he wouldn't really use his second form when applying for the department.

He was well aware of the effects his eldritch form bought, and what if the cultivation world had already invented a method or device to sense the anomalies?

It would be ironic if the first anomaly the department caught was in the form of a disciple looking to join the department which would handle dealing with its own type.

Yep, I definitely don't want to come on news like that.

Eryndor shook his head.

If he decided on displaying his efficiency, he would start learning from the eldritch form itself, at least to a degree that he would be better than the majority of the disciples, if not all, by a huge margin.

Look at it this way.

The efficiency of how the disciples fought was on average a twenty.

His eldritch form fought at hundred.

The masters here at most only had an average of forty to fifty based on the memories of the disciples where they fought the masters.

As mentioned before, masters were equivalent to professors of the Academy.

Lastly, Eryndor's own efficiency level was at twenty five considering that he had been inadvertently influenced by his second form.

Was it higher than the average student? Yes, but was it enough to impress the committee and join the department? Most likely not.

That was why he would be learning from the eldritch form instead of paying spirit coins to take notes from the masters.

If he learned from the best, he would improve much faster than if he learned from someone else.

Alright, what else specialty can I show?

While walking he had already reached the starting point of the forest.

He didn't forget that he had to kill the iron armored anaconda for his mission. His mission wasn't complete.

Could I use my Telekinesis or Cognitive Scrying as a means to show my 'specialty'?

Immediately after, he rejected that thought.

Both of these things consumed Energy of Consciousness.

True, he could perfectly contain his Energy of Consciousness when he was using his abilities, so no aura would be leaked out.

However, when you use cultivation arts, your aura would leak out.

Even if you somehow used some cultivation art to mask your aura leak, a higher realm cultivator could still easily see through your aura.

How would he explain it to the higher realm cultivator present when they asked him why they couldn't sense any aura of Qi or cultivation realm on him while using these two abilities?

Well, he could always say that he was using a treasure, but won't that invite covetous eyes?

In short, this is a dangerous way to go about it.

Eventually as he kept thinking about various ways, Eryndor reached the swamp again, the habitat of the iron armored anacondas.

The first thing he sensed was an enormous corpse some distance away.

Huh…free corpse?

Just as he had that thought, a way to enter the Bureau of Anomaly Control also struck his mind.

A rather easy one if what he was thinking was true.
