Chapter 6: Truths and Lies between Brothers

"H-h-how???" I'll just act like I'm the most confused of what's happening right now.

'A. I. Chip! Scan the original body's memory and find similar cases of what just happened!'

'Brother? A. I. Chip? Original body? ' So I still can control to hide my true thoughts to Leylin? The system is more superior than I thought.

'A. I. Chip...it's... ... ...this shouldn't be possible...should I tell him or not?'

'Tell me what brother?'

'He can even read my deep thoughts???

A. I. Chip, tell me the results quickly.'

[Beep! There is no memory stored in the brain of such phenomenon. Phenomenon is deemed harmless.]

Now, even I can hear the A. I. Chip. What a thrill! Also as expected of the system, the A. I. Chip is either telling the truth or the system made it so that the Mind Link is considered harmless to the host.

'A. I. Chip scan and find the reason of this phenomenon'

"Brother, what's happening?"

'STAY QUIET.. and speak with your mind'

[Beep! Results show that the host's mind is connected to Seely Farlier's mind. Unable to comprehend. Data is insufficient.]

'I had heard of siblings having a connection with each other on my former world but hearing each other's thoughts directly from the mind is far from it. Seely, did you do this?'

'I don't know?...brother.. Are we gonna be alright?'

'Since the A. I. Chip already said it was harmless and I've already scanned our stats which stayed the same. It might be focused more on the mind and brain wavelengths of us as siblings although this is only a hypothesis. On the other hand, I am in a new world with forces like magic and life energy that exist. This shouldn't be surprising. On my former world, some siblings usually twins, have some subtle connection and they can feel when someone is in danger. Maybe in this world this ability to have a connection with a sibling, my brother is stronger or is it because of my brother itself. The A. I. Chip did said that the unknown energy that triggered our minds to be connected came from Seely so there's a chance that Seely has some kind of power that the A. I. Chip can't detect.'

'Brother, wait, please explain. What is the A. I. Chip and what do you mean about the original body, I'm not stupid you know. I can understand some part you said. What is this other world you talk about?'

'Err... Hmm.. Before that... A. I. Chip, Is there any solution towards this phenomenon?Breaking the connection is preferred.'

...

...

"Leylin?"

Leylin just looked at me then said, "Wait a minute"

...

[Beep! No solutions to break the connection with Seely Farlier. Data is insufficient.]

'Break? Data? Brother Leylin, you want to stop us from talking with our mind?'

'You even heard that!?'

'I've been hearing that from the moment I heard you talking in my head. Who is it? Are you possessed by a demon?'

I looked at the MC and continued my pretending act. Who will think that a 13 year old weak boy will know about the A. I. Chip beforehand?? Not even Leylin, the MC, would dare to think about it.

'No, it's not a demon.. It's... An ability I was born with. (Although he knows about my A. I. Chip, I don't have to tell him everything.)'

'Oh... Like my ability?' Oh so you chose to hide being reincarnated from me. That's okay brother, this is better so we can still be brothers. Ah Ignorance is bliss. Too bad I already know your not from this world..but so what neither am I. But still...I don't really have an ability. This is just preparation for when I get that elemental affinity as a reward because let's be real, that was just a total cheat! Imagine me controlling one of the elements, not needing spell models or incantations but rather using my Max affinity to instant cast with the minimum energy required. From what I remember, abilities that was born with the person is totally possible in this world. I think it's fine to foreshadow my ability so that when it comes, i don't have to create another reason.

'What ability?' (He has an ability? Born with an ability? Our father, Viscount John Farlier seems pretty ordinary except for being a Knight in the memories of Leylin so how did this kid -ahem..brother of mine have abilities that he was born with?)

'It's a secret for now but I will tell you when we reach the Magus academy, okay brother? .' Like hell, how can I tell you if I haven't even received the elemental affinity reward? Let's just say it's a secret for now. That's right a secret.

(He doesn't want to tell? Well that's okay. Although I'm really curious about what happened, his secret ability and our mind link, I'm also glad Seely has his abilities. Even if he has a weak body, maybe his ability can compensate for that) 'If its what you decide on but tell me as soon as we reach the Magus academy, alright Seely?'

'Yes brother' This brother Leylin of mine... Do you think I can't read your deep thoughts even of you try to make them deeper, in front of the powerful system, all is known. Hmp!...hmp? What am I saying? Is this the arrogant attitude of Seely?! If I found out who created Seely as an arrogant weak boy, I'll-

"Seely"

"brother?"

"Let's help each other and survive this journey"

Oh brother! That's what I wanted to hear from the MC! First I was afraid, I was petrified. But I will grow strong and I'll learn how to carry on but... Let's stay with the MC instead... I don't dare underestimate the power of plot armor! Yesh! I just caught me my very first pokem- Ahem.. I mean...My brother will protect me and I will protect him!

"Yes Bro!"

"Ah... yeah... bro.. ahahaha"

I think my brother just got surprised with the bro thing but brother is so long and Leylin is so long. Let's try using the bro call first and see how it goes.

*Yawn* Am I getting sleepy... that fast?!? It's hard to have a weak body.*Yawn* 'Im sleepy'

"You should sleep if you want to sleep already."

"Hmm okay bro. *yawn* You should sleep too bro."

"I'll sleep after a while. You sleep first. Try sleeping while sitting since the floor is cold. It might get you sick."

"Okay... I'll just... Zzzzzz"

So with that I slept peacefully with the cold wooden carriage wall at my back. Though for some reason I'm feeling I forgot something important that will happen. Hmmm... Whatever, let's deal with it tomorrow. This weak body of mine can't take it any longer. Good Night.
