The Extra's Indifference

It took us 97 days to reach Ceurie city.

My nerves and brain partially transformed while on the road. Which made my thought process faster and improved my reflexes.

I tried to learn meditate while moving. It was half successful because it's efficiency reduced. Which means i couldn't properly did it. Though its good enough for now.

Normally mages learns moving meditation with utmost care which takes for 5 to 20 years because if they do a mistake while absorbing mana they can go mad from mana poisening's torturously process.

Anyway we arrived to city, i sold all of the [D] rank cores and rest of the the lower rank cores and got 10 gold.

Afterwards i rented a house for 3 months like the last time.

We got into the house and sat down on the couch.

"Yarin don't go out without us and if you go out anyway, don't spoke to anyone.

Lucy if you want to go out, come to me i will cast illusion spell. But don't go into trouble and come here immediately." i said and looked at them to see their reactions.

Yarin was frowning but didn't said much. Lucy was happy.

"Brother let's go out to eat something delicious." said Lucy.

While we were traveling only eated jerky or biscuits because Lucy ate the delicious food in the first month. Though i didn't care about the food's taste just ate it.

I looked to Lucy and said in serious tone:

"We can't do that Lucy."

"Why?" Lucy got serious too

"Because i have to sleep in the bed after months of sleeping in blanket and i need my Lucy to my side. Do you understand?" i said with very serious tone.

Lucy nodded her head bashfully.

After seeing this i laughed.

"Hahaha my Lucy is embarrassed because of this? I can't understand you at all."

it is true that i couldn't understand the Lucy. We sleep side by side everyday but she gets embarrassed because i said this loud. Well i didn't care too much and honestly i liked it. My dull emotions hardly reacts anything, which makes my life more boring, but when i teased and embarrassed Lucy my dull emotions slightly reacts and it a little bit of addictive. It's like only eating bread everyday and one day there is few drops of honey on the bread. It is nothing much but it feels good to have it once in a while.

'Is this what original Kayle felt when he was with Lucy? Will i follow the original's steps and killed by mere monster? I don't know what will happen to me. Like the original i don't any desire. Desire to become stronger or desire immortality, i don't have anything. I am just thinking to lift my curse not because of the desire, because my emotions taken from me forcefully and it is against to my principles. I lost my emotions and desires, what would i be if i lost my principles too'

I laid down to bed and enjoyed its softness.

After a while Lucy laid down to bed too.

I pulled Lucy to my side, hugged her and buried my face to her hair.

"Brother?"

"Yeah?"

"Why are you clinging to me more than usual?" said Lucy. Her embarrassment clearly evident on her voice.

"I am not the one usually clinging my dear Lucy, it is you. 'Why i am clinging to you?' you ask, I am clinging to you because we are growing." i said.

"Because we are growing?" said Lucy

"Yes. Because we are growing that if i show you my affection like usual in the public it would bring lots of bad rumors. I don't want any bad rumours around you because you are delicate girl and bad rumours can upset you." I said with sad tone.

"Brother why would even bad rumors spread if you show affection to me?" questioned Lucy.

Fuck. She doesn't even knows that normal siblings aren't act like us. In the noble houses siblings are each others throat constantly.

"They could misunderstand our relationship say things like 'these two aren't in sibling relationship, their relationship are that of a men and women relationship' do you understand, even if you not i can't tell you more detailed." said with serious tone.

Lucy became blushed so hard that even her neck was red.

"Umm Brother. Is it bad thing?"

"hmmh?"

"Rumors i mean."

"Frankly i don't care Lucy. I don't care humans, rules, rumors. Though i don't know why, but i only care about you. Do you know the reason Lucy?"

I openly told Lucy that i didn't cared anything because i am sure in the future i will kill lots of people near Lucy and i don't want Lucy to feel like i betrayed her trust or something like that.

"I don't know brother. But do you really don't care anything?" Lucy spoke meekly

"I really don't care anything. Even if you kill a child front of me, i wouldn't even try to save the child. If you can, try to don't care random human lives and idiotic rules, just pretend to abide them" I murmured to her nape.

"Now shut up i want to sleep" i whispered her ear after that kissed her cheek and sleep.

******

I woke up late at night. Well i slept at evening, so it was normal to wake up this early.

Lucy was sleeping on me, so i slowly rolled her to side and get up.

'Why is my lips are sticky and wet? Did i droll again? Meh i don't care.'

I went to bathroom and washed my face. After that i walked to front of the mirror and lifted my attire to look at my muscle condition.

'i became more beautiful and my muscles became more apparent'

'If my progress continues like this, i wouldn't die to monster in the academy, like that of a original.'

After looking at myself i went to bed and sat down in lotus position.

Normally meditation doesn't have to be in lotus position. If you are comfortable you can absorb mana in every poses.

Why i am meditating in lotus position? Well because i want to humor myself feeling like that of a 10 thousand years old cultivator. This is my unskillful way of humor myself to escape momentarily from boredom.

Anyway, i took out the [B] rank mana ore that Ivrin gave it to me and started to absorb it.

Mana ores are contrary to mana cores are made of pure ambience mana. So any mage or fighters can absorb them without purifying.

Though if 3rd circle mage tries to absorb a [B] rank mana ore quickly, they could die. Because even if its ambience mana, [B] rank mana ore's mana quality are way too much to bear for 3rd circle mage. Therefore low rank mages usually slowly absorb the high rank mana ores/cores.

Anyway i absorbed mana from mana ore for 2 hours. I felt that my mana quality breakthrough to [C–] rank and my quantity breakthrough to [D+] rank. With this my transformation will take less time.

Mana ore diminished slightly because i was able to absorb faster because of my trasformed blood and skin.

Though it seems that even [B] rank mana ore can't get me to [B–].Well first four circle called apprentice for a reason. After 4th circle, making progression becomes extremely harder for every circle. So It was expected to be honest, most mages absorb hundreds to thousands of [B] rank mana ore/core to breakthrough to [A] rank.

After inspecting my gains, i took out the smooth black cane to inspect.

I didn't inspect it because i wasn't curious, but right now i don't have anything to do. So i decided to take a look.

From what i can sense, this cane is made with [B] rank core.

I tried to sense its functions. Even though i can inspect it with my lenses and found the functions of it easily. I didn't use it because if i learned to sense functions of artifacts, it can be usefull and well, i can pass some time.

'Hmm Silent? Changeable? Well i could only found these. It was good for my first try i think.'

Who would have thought that half mad skeleton that likes to called grandpa carries around a torture tool of this caliber.

'He wanted to play games with me and Lucy though. Were his games some sort of torture?(definitely not, he was just grandpa skeleton that wanted to play children) Well i don't care.'

"Yarin." I called Yarin

"What?"

Yarin appeared front of me and i took her to my arms.

"Do you want to stroll around with me?"

My intuition was ringing after i woken up and after i absorbed the mana core for 2 hours, my intuition started to shout at me. I think some thief or gang member must have seen my mana core transaction. Even though 10 gold not much money to my eyes. It seems some measly thiefs covets my money.

I easily forgot these kind of things can attract some attention.

*Sigh

"Sure." answered Yarin.

'Well it is good time to try this cane.'

I transformed the cane to dagger.

Dagger was fully black, lusterless and looks like flat as paper, though it wasn't flat. My guess was that it was made from [Lost Forest]'s bizarre illusion like trees that looks like flat paper.

Well its good weapon, so i didn't care its shape or looks.

I got out of the house and spread my mana to around of the house. I am not proficient on using aura, hence i am using only mana to find someone/something.

"Yarin do you sense anyone around of the house." I couldn't find something or someone, thus i asked to Yarin.

Yarin's red eyes closed for 5 seconds and she said:

"There is someone under the house. Low 4th crystal thief."

I didn't know if i was lucky or unlucky.

At the first day in the city some thief come to us directly and i needed a practice dummy to test out my new weapon.

I asked Yarin for the exact location of the thief. She told me the location of thief and i rushed to there.

After a minute, i closed the distance between me and thief and took a look at thief.

Thief was about 180cm tall with slender build, though i couldn't see clearly because thief was wearing robe. Afterwards I analysed her aura to find her characteristics.

Her aura was warm and lively, full of positiveness. It was strange aura that shouldn't belong to a thief, so i got interested and looked at her status.

'Hmm i wanted to research innate powers for a while, but i didn't have any experiment materials. Well i have one now.'

I took the stance of my dagger art, strengthened my body with mana and rushed to her.

I appeared behind her, activated the [Pain amplification] and swung my dagger to her lower left back to her right shoulder.

She noticed my attack but it was too late, she couldn't react to my attack.

She was about to scream from pain but i activated the [Silence]. Well she still screamed but there was no voice.

I kicked her and spoke with emotionless tone.

"Shut up."

She continued to scream, so i show her my dagger and said:

"Shut up or i will stab you until you are corpse."

She stopped screaming and look at me.

"Why did you come to my house?"

She didn't spoke.

"Why did you come to my house? Speak, this is your last chance."

She shook her head and pointed her mouth.

"What? Open your robe and show me your mouth."

She opened her robe. She has red hair, red eyes and oval, cute face. But strange thing is, she was blushing.

'seriously, i just slashed your back and you are blushing because of my pretty face, what a weirdo.'

Anyway, she spoke, but there was no voice.

"Ah." i remembered the fact that i didn't deactivate the [Silence] enchantment. I quickly deactivated and said: 'speak'.

She shivered and spoke with meek tone:

"Please don't kill me, i was just curious who were the ones that rent the house while using disguise type magic. I was just curious, i am not assassin or thief."

"So you are stalker huh. Well it can't be helped, but first we need to sign a contract or else i have to kill you."

"Hiiik! I will sign, i will sign. Don't kill me" Thie- Anna scared shitless and quickly agreed.

I wrote the contract's conditions. Conditions were quite few;

•Kayle won't kill Anna, likewise Anna too won't kill Kayle and his sister.

•Anna will help Kayle with experiment and obey his orders while experimenting.

•Anna won't tell anyone about this contract.

I quickly make the contract ritual of Goddes Esnera.

We signed the contract and Anna ran to her home.

'Signing a contract was good choice. I couldn't lock her up in the basement for a long time. So this is best outcome because right now she will come to house with her own legs for every time i asks to come to experiment and after that do whatever she wants.'

"Yarin do you know anything about Innate powers?" I asked to Yarin.

"No, why are you asking?"

"I am little interested in them and that girl has low rank innate power. So i will experiment on her. Do you have any experience on the human experimentation?"

"No and i don't want any experience on human experimentation."

"Well i won't cut her to pieces but well do what you want."
