Chapter 4 Isekai Ability

"If there is a hole, there is a way."

Literally, every anime reverse trap.

===

(Mael's POV)

"Jeanne, we eat the same food, right?" I asked her soon to be bride.

"Yes, Mael~" She replied cutely.

"Then why are you so dumb!?" I scolded her and tucked her forehead lightly.

"Ouch! Meal, what was that for?!" She started rubbing her forehead that wasn't even slightly hurt.

"I have been teaching you for two days straight but you can't even write alphabets correctly," I started showing her drawing characters, which were supposed to be alphabets.

"I am sorry, I will try harder~" She replied with her puppy eyes to calm me.

I sighed since I was just weak against her if she decides to cry or plead for something.

I then patted her head and asked her to write alphabets and pronounce them again.

After receiving a blank book from Priest, I decided to literate her so that she could survive in upper society.

And I have to say that, apart from her strength and stamina (that is superior to mine at that time) she was extremely dumb. Even making her signature took her almost 3 days.

'But why that Priest had kind of…. Familiality around him?' I thought. Even though his face can never be taken seriously, he had a kind of warmness around him. Maybe due to being a priest of a church, I didn't know.

Wheeh*

I was teaching Jeanne when both of us heard whining of a horse outside.

When we came out, we saw Jacques holding a halter of a beautiful horse along with a cart.

"Haha, come here brats, and meet a new family member," Jacques said pointing at the horse standing beside him.

Jeanne had stars in her eyes since she loves animals. She started patting the giant horse without any remorse whilst I was worried how the heck he even got this extremely luxury animal.

Although it was not the kind of horse breed that one could use in race or jousting, the fact that he even managed to get his hands on such an animal in the warring period was still something I couldn't ignore.

As if sensing my curiosity, he gently rubbed my hair, "Relax, I didn't make a deal with a devil or rob any noble. I was just saving money that you were giving me past 5 months plus I had some savings of my own." He said then added, "Consider this… what do you call again, ah investment."

He then showed me a bow and few arrows along with a rope.

Seeing all of this, I smiled and thanked, "Thank you, Mr. Jacques!"

He knew that I was struggling to become stronger and in the last few days, I was saving money to buy weapons and equipment to test my strength in wild.

"Isn't this time you start calling me father?"

"Maybe when I marry your daughter in the future."

"Forget it."

He plainly said before leaving Jeanne and me with the horse. We then decided to make a small stable for our new Ferrari of the time.

The next day, Jeanne and Jacques woke up early to start our expedition in the deep forest. Jacques was hesitant to bring a girl to the forest for the hunt but I was able to convince him since I didn't want Jeanne feeling inferior or weak just because she is a girl.

It could be a one to three days trip so Jacques asked his sister to look after his wife for the time being.

Then we departed early in the morning to avoid dark.

"Mael, Mael, look! A monkey!" Jeanne tugged me nth time pointing at various animals and plants that she had never seen before.

I looked at Jacques with pleading eyes to somehow stop this brat from disturbing me to observe the surroundings but he only rolled his eyes as if saying, 'Your wife, your responsibility.'

"Yeah…" I said looking at the monkey. Even though it can be eaten but neither of us were hungry enough to eat animals forbidden by the holy book.

(AN: It includes pork. Even though it is regularly eaten in western countries now, it was forbidden to eat by early Christens and Muslims since it is forbidden in both of their holy books.)

I have also encountered wild boars but then again, my family would be hanged even if I try to sell their fur only.

"His butt looks funny. Red and big, kind of like yours. Hehe~" Jeanne then added with a giggle.

The monkey was a baboon known for its infamous cherry butts.

Jeanne had seen me naked, no, she always peeked whenever I took bath after my short exercise. Even though neither of her parents has a problem having me and Jeanne taking baths together since we both were children and water was money but there is no way in hell I would ever take a bath with a 12 years old chick with the mentality of an honorable adult.

So she knew how my butt looks like.

Then we stopped after we came near an open field and spotted some deer.

"Ma-" Jeanne was about to shout but I and Jacques, both of us covered her mouth.

I then asked Jeanne not to make any noise that could disturb our hunt.

After making our foothold, I took the bow and few arrows and asked Jacques and Jeanne to wait patiently.

Then I stealthily started to crawl to get near the pack of deer.

I had taken basic military training in my previous life and was also knew how to hunt so I had a basic understanding of hunting but the only difference was that I had a bow and arrows instead of a gun.

Soon, a male dear got separated from the rest of the pack.

"My chance…." I muttered with a smirk.

I placed the bow aiming at the head of the deer, placed the arrow on it, and pulled the string. Then…

!!!

The horizon around me changed. I could see deer very clearly even though I was hiding a few meters away from the deer but that was not the only change. A straight line was emerging from the end of my arrow connecting to the head of the deer.

Yes, just like in games where you could see the stricking point, I could also see the line to pinpoint my target. My greatest ability is to see the after images of my action.

I didn't discover this skill until late at night when I was practicing my aim.

In short, whatever I would aim for, it will create after images of my future actions.

It was a very strong skill to have but it also has its restrictions.

First, I could only use it for 15 minutes with a cooldown of an hour or I would suffer headaches. Second, it only predicts the future if other variables remain constant from the point I take my actions. Meaning that my target will be a bull's eye if airflow doesn't change or it could change the outcome of my actions.

(AN: Suggest me a cool name for this skill.)

I then smiled and with confidence in my newly discovered skill, I released the arrow.

It flew straight towards the deer until it pierced the eye and ended up in the brain, killing the poor creature on the spot.

Sensing the tension, other dears began to run away.

I didn't wait for even a second before pulling another arrow towards another deer and shot it on its throat. After the pray slowed down due to the arrow, I quickly ran after the deer and slice its throat to stop it from suffering more pain.

'Wait… how did I react that fast?'

Then I realized something and questioned myself. How the heck I moved that fast? Even though I knew about hunting I was not that fast in my previous life.

'Maybe it is due to my training….'

I put these thoughts to be questioned later.

Jeanne and Jacques came after me and were stunted how I killed two adults dear with just bow and arrows within few seconds.

"Wow, Mael you are so cool!" Jeanne ran and hugged me. Although she doesn't like to kill innocent animals, it was not forbidden to hunt in the wild to survive, and even if she was innocent and gentle at heart, she was not stupid enough to understand the harshness of reality.

We then decided to pack things up before sunset but before going to skin the carcasses, we prayed for the souls of two deer. Then we skinned then rinsed their blood to avoid being tailed and then decided to return.

On that day, I was unaware that those eyes were just the fragment of my real strength.
