"Clan Head, the figures for the new shark are ready".
"Good, well-done Phase, leave them on the relic crable".
As soon as Phase dropped the figures tabulated on the rock and left, magic power was pumped into the square-shaped structure with 4 legs as it was stimulated, making it move towards the darkness where Old Mak lived.
After the rock on the structure, Old Mak called a crable disappeared in the darkness, the alpha shark started going through it casually.

Bam!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe alpha Shark ignored the slight itching pain on his tail after he subconsciously used it to hit the hard wall, his 2 eyes were widened as he looked more carefully at this tabulated data.
Almost all the stats were exactly as he envisioned, the last one was what left him feeling like he suddenly needed a pair of lenses which his former Atlantian owner always complained about.
If he had hands, he would have already started rubbing his eyes or even pinching his skin to confirm that he was not dreaming.
"What am I seeing?" He questioned his own intelligence.
"Did Shine use some illusion magic on me?"
Without hesitation, he swept the rock surface with his electroreceptor skill which was far more advanced than Sebastian's and the answer confirmed his conjecture, nothing was tampered with.
Unlike Sebastian's electroreceptors, his could outline the exact words that were scribbled on the rock and it also could bypass illusions.
Now, he already confirmed that the figures were not tampered with, so did this mean that Sebastian was just 3 months old?
He shuddered, feeling like his understanding of his world was suddenly not updated enough. Across the many decades that he's lived as a shark, this was the first time that he had ever seen a thing as strange as this.
"Did he somehow interrupt Dangle's vibrational search?" This was the only conclusion that he could come to after thinking as hard as he could, and the only one that he could believe.
He simply refused to believe that a 3-month-old shark was this strong and at the orange tier already. Not only that, it already became a Megalodon while an old shark like him was still shamefully a Great White.
From his experience, 3 months old sharks were in the category of those still being taken care of in the pen and were mostly less than a meter tall.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became so he just decided to ignore it. Despite ignoring the figures, one thing became apparent to him, Sebastian was definitely not an ordinary shark.
He relaxed in his chambers, letting his tail flap at the water left and right as he silently went through the battle experience with Octumpedam again.
…
"Ouch! My brain hurts".
Sebastian whined as consciousness slowly returned to him. His eyes were closed, they still felt heavy to him and a strange sense of laziness prevented him from putting in more effort to open them.
[You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]
For the first time since he started using his skills, Sebastian was grateful that he only needed his brain to give the order to activate them.
As soon as the skill was activated, he was finally able to see his surroundings. He was still in the platform that he was placed in before he fell asleep, and the nanny shark hovered beside him in the water.
He checked every corner of the small chamber that he was in but he found no other shark, puzzling him as he was positive that other sharks were here who were most likely the elders.
"They left without even saying hi?" He grumbled.
As he grumbled, the drowsiness and slight pricking pain in his brain subsided, enabling him to finally open his eyes. The first thing that presented itself to his eyes was familiar, it was the nanny shark.
"Congratulations Sebastian! Your evaluation was successful, you're officially a part of the family".
"Thanks". Sebastian finally swam out of the platform originally holding him in place, taking a glance at the chamber again in the process.
"So, what now?" He asked after confirming again that the elders already left.
"Nothing". The nanny shark spread her dorsal fins slightly. "You're a part of the family now, you can do anything you want".
"You can decide to meet the others and socialize with them. Be polite though, some of the youngsters can easily get riled up which occasionally result in vicious bites at each other".
"Also, there's the family reward system for the whole family set up by the clan head himself". The nanny shark's tone became a little proud as she said this.
"We're one of the only predator clans which have one, the clan head said he learned it from his Atlantian owner".
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Oh, a reward system?"
Sebastian was surprised, feeling like his understanding of the shark clan was once again being renewed. He could feel things becoming more complicated and advanced.
"Yes, a reward system. Ask your brothers after leaving here, they'll show you the way there to get registered". The nanny shark smiled at him.
"Ok, thanks again".
As Sebastian flapped his tail intending to leave, he stopped as his system lit up with a new notification for him.
