Zaeryn acknowledged that he had leveled up.
And the effect was very noticeable too. With his hyper cognition now at Rank B, he felt like everything had slowed down, giving him a chance to analyze.
The world didn't just slow down; it shattered into a kaleidoscope of cold, hard data.
As the notification for Hyper-Cognition [Rank B] burned into his retinas, Zaeryn felt his consciousness expand, stretching across like a spiderweb.
He could hear the individual droplets of water sliding down the tiles. He could track the heat radiating from Viora's body. Most importantly, he could see the geometry of her intent.
Viora wasn't just moving; she was displacing the very air.
He saw the atmospheric ripple a microsecond before she vanished. In his old state, he would have been a blind man swinging at shadows. Now, his brain processed the displacement as a vector.
'Behind me. High angle. Downward force.'
