Going Outside

Coming out of his room,Mika walked through a majestic hallway as he tried navigating his way towards the pantry room.

On the sides,majestic paintings and art works could be seen,hung on the regal looking walls with occasional antiques in form of swords,armors and axes kept in special casings on elevated marbled platforms.

'Guess the father made these,huh.Pretty good!'

Going though the antiques, specifically the weapons ,he saw majestic and reddish carvings on the blades and handles of the weapons giving them a very regal look.

Mika especially was pulled towards a large obsidian claymore ,with pitch black cross guard along with reddish rubies embedded on the handle.

It really gave a majestic and regal aura as if asking all other beings to bow down in front of it.

Mika was in a stupor when suddenly a notification resound in his mind.

[Symbiotic invasion detected! ]

[Neutralization of invasion in progress...]

[Symbiotic invasion Neutralized successfully]

'Huh'

'Symbiote?....'

'I don't see v*nom here ,so where is this symbiote thingy coming from.'

'Nevermind ...let's be on our way'

Mika didn't give much of an attention to the claymore anymore and started walking towards the end of the hallway again as he took a left, walked down the stairs and arrived at the main lobby of the house.The house was really big, considering this world still being in the middle ages.

Taking a right he finally saw the pantry roomwhere a beautiful maid with luscious brown hair was making food.

Sizzle!

Sounds of sizzling bacon and eggs entered his ears as he tried sneaking up from behind while prying into the pan.

Noticing a stare,the maid turned around as she greeted Mika with a happy face.

"The food will be ready in just a minute,Young master! Please stroll around the lawn for the time being.I'll call you when the food is ready,okay"

"Oh and remember not to go out of the house or near the blacksmithing area, young master.The heat might affect your health.",said the maid in a cheerful tone.

Mika just smiled amicably and nodded while running his hands over his spiky short hair.

Opening the doubled door of the house,Mika finaly came outside the house for the first time since he reincarnated.

And what he saw made him too speechless to comment on.

A tousled field of grass framed by well kept hedges. A lone, broad tree standing near the right edge, its trunk and crown reach for the sky, ever trying to reach higher and higher. The flower beds are in need of some care and love, but look great nonetheless; they're growing in all sorts and sizes. Archways overgrown with flowers are scattered throughout the garden. Grass and plants try to claim every party of the garden as their own with every chance they get, held back only by sheers, trimmers.

The tree, an aconite which seems to have stood there for over a century, and was once on its last legs, but has since grown to the center piece of the garden thanks to great care. The flower beds are nothing to sneeze at, and the hedges are eye catching in their own right, but there's just no way to outshine the tree.

Inshort,the garden was extremely beautiful!

The air was fresh and without impurity,Birds chirped on the aconite in the middle of the small garden while bees and butterflies flew all around the coloufull flowers around the garden.

Mika had already seen the garden after he had come out on his when chair but viewing it with vibrant colours just amplified his joy.

But...ting....

The skill was surely there to ruin his fun...

Mika inhaled a fresh breath of air while looking at such a scenery.

On the other side of the garden,however,a large workshop stood high and mighty.

Sounds on clinking and sizzling resounded the entire garden as black smoke came out of their chimneys.

Mika stood there trying to figure out the sounds when suddenly he felt a tap on his shoulder as he turned his head around to look at the source.

A man stood with a hunched back while staring at him with questioning eyes.

He wasn't very tall,even shorter than Mika and had grey hair and beard and with rimmed glasses on his brown eyes.

"Never seen you here,child?Who are you?"

But before Mika could say anything the man's face suddenly became bright and cheerful as he held Mika by his trembling hands.

"Young master?Is that you.....oh,Ithra....you had mercy on our master",said the man as tear drops fell down from his worn down eyes.

In response to the mans inquiry ,Mika just smiled amicably and nodded at the old man.

The man felt really happy as he wrongly thought that the young master had remembered him.

But only Mika knew what was going inside his mind.

'Who is this old man? .....I dont even know him'.contemplated Mika.

Mika continued talking with the old man while exchanging pleasantaries and came to know about the identity of the old man.

Actually,he was the gardener of the house and as Mika used to play around in the garden,he was naturally quite fond of the boy who played around picking up grass and rolling in the mud.

Seeing the old man reminiscing about past memories,Mika decided to try something on this man.

'Activate,Spirit Vision'

[Skill:Spirit Vision (C-Rank) Activated]

Instantly his entire vision around him became dark and the old man started having a golden outline with blue veins all around his body.

Even the soil,the tress and all living creatures also had a golden outline with dark background with blue lines to define their veins and channels.

Yes,this was the ability he had gained after he went though the audacious chore of burning his eye balls.

It had inevitably granted him to something similar to an X-ray or to be specific Magic sense.

It was an un-named ability when he had checked the system at that time,but was really helpful.

[Speciallized focus on target]

Suddenly all the species lost the golden hue and returned to their vibrant colours except for the old man who still had the same golden hue and blue veins.

Mika then focussed on the orbs on the old man's body.

He had actually classified the orbs into specific emotions and affinites after testing his theories constantly on Rebecca during the past month.

The coloured orbs depicted this:

[Red-Excitement,strength,love,aggressiveness]

[Orange-Confidence,success,bravery,Sociability]

[Yellow-happiness and warmth]

[Green-Healing,peace and tranquility]

[Blue-trust ,loyalty and passion and lust]

[Pink-Compassion, sincerity]

[Purple -Spirituality and Ambition]

[Brown-Trustworthy,Dependable]

[Black -Anger,Jealously,Anxiety and Frustration.]

[White-Coldness,purity, innocence and honesty]

All these colours depicted the emotions as well the affinity a person had.

Every one practically had all of them in their bodies but only in various ratios which keep on fluctuating depending upon the situation the person in question was in.

But coincidentally,he couldn't see his orbs ,no matter how many times he looked at his reflection.

Mika didn't have much information about the various affinities of the world but this ability of reading the emotions of people around him ,made it quite easier for him to guess the mood in the room and say the best of things.

By this ,he could also determine whether a person was trustworthy or not as well as point out potential enemies as well.

In short,it was quite a good ability for recruitment of talents his future organization as well.

Coming back,Mika noticed the man had the orbs of pink and brown to be extremely bright,showing how genuine his feelings were towards him.

Even among his family members,except his rarely present father,all of them had different versions of these orbs inside them.

The mother had almost all the colours from red to brown glowing while she was talking to him but when she was talking about his father, the black glowed much more brighter.

Even the maid had most of the colours glowing much more brighter except for the black and white.

Tapping his thumb and index finger twice ,he deactivated his [Spirit Vision] and bade farewell to the gardener.

He had infact set the activation and deactivation of his [Spirit Vision] skill by tapping his index and thumb finger together for better efficiency as he didn't always needed to shout his skill name inside his head and aslo avoid the involvement of the system in his growth or progression of his skills.

Consiously or subconsciously,Mika was deliberately trying to limit his usage of his system but everytime he did , severe headache assulted his brain everytime and after it went away,he felt weak and drowsy for some reason.

Seperating from the gardener,Mika walked through the garden towards the old aconite tree in the middle and sat down while leaning on the trunk.

Conincidentally,he noticed ,albeit with his hazy eyes ,words written on the tree trunk.

Circling his fingers into a shape of a hole ,he looked at the writing.

What he essentially was doing by circling his fingers into a hole was called the Pin Hole effect in physics which actually reduced the size of his eye lens focus removing excess light from entering his eye lens and increasing his viewing efficiency.

This was also the effect on which modern day cameras where based on!

On the trunk was written 'P+L' and around it was a shape of a heart.

I didn't take someone to be a genius to recognise it letter 'P' to be Phillip and the letter 'L' to be Linda.

Inshort,it was most probably a romantic hotspot for the couple who drifted apart.

'Man,even that crybaby is a hopless romantic',sighed Mika.

Chuckling, Mika finally turned around and started acting to sleep.

Inwardly he said the word ,'Status',and started viewing his changed status window after his transplant.

[World Quest:Updates on Reaching Tier 5]

========================

Looking at his status,Mika contemplated.

'So undergoing the procedure just benefitted me in increasing my perception and intelligence,but that was expected as I have unlocked the skill[Spirit Vision].

'By going through the procedure increased my strength as well as other stats too.At this rate,if I start training my body I will eventually breakthrough into the F- rank in 3 months.'

Closing his system,Mika sighed and peered into the beautiful scenery towards the happily cooking maid who could be seen through the kitchen window.

Noticing his gaze ,the maid immediately turned towards him with a smile and called him while making hand signs.

Mika got up from the ground and dusted of his clothes before strodding towards the backdoor.

Entering the pantry room again,he was greeted by the maid when suddenly she turned her head hearing a loud creak of the main door.

Immediately she pulled out more plates and ran towards the main dining hall before whispering in his ears.

"Quick!....move towards the dining hall,your father,mother and step-sister is here!",said the maid before strodding towards the hall.

Sighing,Mika cursed his fate for encountering both of them ,early in the morning.

'They are in for a surprise Huh',thought Mika with a wry smile before it returned to his usual deadpan face as he walked towards the dining hall.

He was going to meet his father and his alleged step-sister this time.

He had only met with his father the day he woke up and didn't even see him and even though he knew he had a sister,never did she approch him during all this time.

This time however,he was going to meet them but not with his usual golden outlines and veins,but in full colour.

[Note:Only remember the red ,blue ,white and black colours.Others are not important]
