2 Steal

I was glaring at them while gripping a kitchen knife. Two soldiers who uses long sword, the other two uses Big sword and the last one uses spear.

The problem is one of them suddenly rush to slash through that little girl while I'm the one who had a disadvantage. However, I can disturb them to pay attention to me. She can't run away; her legs were shaking and she's scared but at least I put a small healing magic her to go away and to buy time. Watching her makes me remember in my previous life when I was bullied in the school and the time my mother died, thinking what to do.

"Hey, kid do you want to die along with that little girl"

The one who said that was the one who wielded a spear. Aiming his spear at me and started to thrust into me. I held my knife like a killer and slashed upwards. The spear guy suddenly stopped with a stunned face.

"what?"

I grinned and stole their stamina to make them tired. Bullet of sweats appeared in their faces and their breath is getting heavy. They all were wondering what happened to their body.

"oh, what's wrong?"

Judging from their appearance, I found out that they aren't soldiers but a party of Lower ranked Adventurers. The two adventurers who wielded long swords began to enhance their weapon by pouring their mana onto their swords.

The two of them slashed me together at once. They are now getting serious and they saw me as a little threat. Their sword swinging is getting faster for me to dodge. Somehow, I managed to dodge by enhancing my agility while the two adventurers who wielded big swords crushed the ground to disrupt me from dodging their swings.

I lost my posture and was about fall after the ground was crashed, there's a spear that was about to pierce in my body. I can't dodge, I won't make it in time, at this rate I will die.

I rotated my body sideways to dodge and the spear guy is breathing heavily after he thrusts his spear because I stole all of his stamina. His exhausted body lost consciousness and there are four left breathing heavily same as the spear guy.

A person who wield a long sword, was chanting offensive magic at me and I forgot to steal all of their mana while I have limitless both stamina and mana. "Aqua Cannon" a large amount of compressed water was fired towards me.

The large amount of compressed water hits me in an instant I was blown away to a large tree. there were no broken bones in my body. However, the pain swells in my left arm and my butt. The blood appeared in my head due to the impact.

I stood up and stole all their skills, strength and agility without them noticing it. as my punishment for hurting a little girl, they are now powerless that will destroy their reputation.

I decided to use a skill [smoke bomb]. A huge black smoke appeared and I disappeared in their sights, they all covered their mouth and nose then started to cough. I rushed to the girl who was trembling and I put my hands on her shoulder and legs to carry the princess. my left-hand hurts while carrying her but I endured it until we escaped.

She was surprised for being carried all of a sudden and now she was staring at my face while blushing. I can feel her heart beats faster through my right hand that was put on her shoulder. "Accelerate Advanced" I went away carrying a little girl going to the nearest river with a help of map to clean up.

"where are you!"

The guy who wielded a longsword who's still standing was looking for me like he was so pissed.

Then smoke disappeared and the rests who were still standing also lost consciousness or in other words all of them fell down being unconscious. On the other hand, at the riverside, northern part of the magical forest. A young boy was washing his face while half naked and a young girl who recently recovered thanked the young boy with a white hair, Magna.

"Umm….th…ank..you for….. saving me"

Her face is red when she thanked me, which made her cute. We haven't known each other's name yet so I should ask her what's her name.

"what's your name?"

When I asked her name, she's making a shy face, a shy type indeed. She slowly opened her mouth and her face is getting redder and she began to tell me her name slowly. Even though I had a 24-year-old mind including my current age, I can't read the atmosphere. Perhaps because of my stupidity carrying her all of a sudden. But I felt really uncomfortable with a stranger alone.

"…I… Iris Grayroad..."

"…"

I almost forgot to introduce myself to her, I may feel kind of weird about the young cute noble who didn't know the name of her savior, a thief won't trust anyone and I was thinking that if she remembers my name until she grows up, there must be a chance that I will become a pet of a royalty with this such ability. Now I'm anxious about what will happen if I tell her my real name. afterwards, I told her my nickname.

"I'm Isna cherre (snatcher) nice to meet you!"

"Isna…."

"you're a noble right?"

She nodded with a stiff reaction then returned to her shyly face. I've decided to accompany and escort her on her way back home. I took a peek at her personal status and I found the location where her home was. It's too far and I was wondering about the distance the party of adventurers had taken her here in the forest. Or in other words, it takes three days for her to arrive to her house walking. The adventurers I had encountered earlier, one of them had mastered teleportation skill which I have stolen after they lost consciousness.

Now I must try this teleportation skill I have stolen. I wonder how it feels to be teleported, I'm curious. I was making an excited face while I stretched out my right hand supported by right hand like I was pouring mana. Apparently, the red haired noble beside me was looking me like I was doing something weird, she has a mind of a kid so it's obvious.

When I was about to cast teleportation skill, I felt my mana being sucked out and my hand is getting numb. However, I have limitless mana so I need to deal with this. This isn't the problem but the main problem is I can't afford to show myself and my power in the city.

I will do something if I arrive there. Now is not the time for me to think about that. A white magic circle appeared under me, the size of the circle can fit ten people here. the light glows bright and a few seconds later, we found ourselves in alleys where no one can see us.

Somehow, it made me remember in my previous life that there some lover having a public s3x in alleys. It is something that needs to be erased in my memories. Anyways my intentions here is to bring her back to her home. but, this is a city so she can go home all by herself. I stretched out my hand and said the word "steal" after I said it, two small coats were held in hand that was originally stolen from the dressing shop using my ability, "steal".

I lent the coat that I stole and I can't afford to see a young noble who had her fancy clothes turned into a rag. She slowly wore the coat I lent then she was about to say something.

"I can't thank you enough"

Her eyes were shining with her cheeks turned slightly red while I replied like no need to thank me. but, she's so cute especially when she's shy. Shy type is my type but now, she's a loli there's no time for feelings of love.

I was about to wear a coat that I stole but I'm not comfortable wearing those, so I stole and wore a short green robe that also looked like a cape. I lent my hand into her and said "let's go, your home is nearby". She slowly grabbed my and she nodded.

"yes…"

She replied with a low tone then I started to walk to the main road with her. from the moment went out of the ally, I was surprised, I can smell a food came from a stall nearby and it seems that people here didn't notice a girl like her. I wonder what kind of noble is she, a viscount's daughter or a baron's daughter or something like that.

Well, I don't care if she's a noble or not, there reason why I'm here is to finish my own mission that is to accompany her on her way back home.

There are many stores here and I can see some students of the academy or some adventurers walking down the streets. This place is surely crowded and it's my first time having myself here. we walked for a few minutes and after that, I saw a Mansion. We stopped in front of the gate and she was about to open it.

"this is the place where I lived, the Grayroad Mansion"

"I see, aside from your clothes you wore before and a place where you lived, you surely a rich girl"

"….."

A middle-aged man with a white hair who has a butler attire suddenly rushed out and saw an unknown person who was about to open the gate. When he began to rush through the gate he suddenly notices that the one who opened the gate was Iris Grayroad. And after that, he was making a worried face when he finally found Iris.

"are you hurt? Did you come back here alone?"

"no I was with Is…na… wha-"

When she glanced at her back, Magna disappeared from the moment she lost sight of him. She put her hand on her chest and smiled a little. while I suddenly popped out at the alleys then started to wander around the city to steal for fun such as coins, artifacts and weapons. spending my time on the city and ended up returning back home at night.

"I'm home"

"Magna, where did u came from, I'm worried about you"

"Hmmm, I'm bored staying at my house so I decided to go outside and went to the forest just for fun"

Well, I know that this reason is invalid but I have no choice but respond even if it's wrong. Hiara is a kind person, she won't scold me but to spoil instead. The problem is whether she will tell father and mother about this. Father is clumsy and pervert who does stupid things but he wanted me to do as I please so he won't make any expression about this.

Mom, is a violent person who usually yells at dad but she's a strict person who disciplines everyone living here and that makes bad news for me.

"Geez, the forest is dangerous, there are many kinds of monsters living in there and yet you go to the dangerous place just for fun, why don't you play with some young neighbors."

"Well, I can play with them but I prefer to go the forest."

After she heard my response, she sighed and told me not to do anything reckless again. But she was relieved that I came back safe so the problem I cleared. Not to mention, she already prepared a dinner for e instead of scolding. She really is a good person, I want to marry her once I get 16.

In this country, 16 is considered to be an adult. The adventurer's guild allowed people who reached the exact age to register as a new adventurer. you're allowed to build a company, marry a person you loved and to be become a knight.

The only thing that still isn't legal is polygamy, people who dreamt to have a harem must be disappointed for now.

At the house, Hiara was the one who was actually worried about me. On top of that, it seems like she entered my room. My pillow is filled with her underwear and there are things I've stolen was stored inside my room.

Her underwear that she washed vanished with my power and of course, she thinks that there must be a pervert who steals her fancy underwear. I don't really mind If i get found out because we get along for a couple of years. I guess it would better not to get my bad things exposed.

While the food is served for me in the table, the person beside me is my sister, a black-haired girl who was always looking down on me. all I did is to ignore her and do what I want.

"you suddenly went missing early this morning and you still look pathetic as usual"

"says the person, who gets cocky just because you mastered the basic of the basic skill, [fireball]"

"you've got guts to say that to your older sister."

"….."

I sighed and started to eat the food that was served. The food that was served tonight was a rabbit steak. I missed eating rice and some instant noodles in my past life. the food that Hiara cooked is delicious like I wanted to have seconds. Not just the food I want to eat, I also I want to eat her.

To be honest, I'm in love with her even though I did something wrong to her. my plan to marry her is serious. I don't really care if the gap is 12 years, love doesn't matter. No matter the reputation, the age, the gender. None of that really matters.

My parents are so busy and they can't return home just for today. Hiara told us that my parent would be staying at an inn. I wonder if dad's gonna screw up mom tonight since they were alone.

And so on, I enjoyed my meal and declared it as another day of an abnormal life.

1 week later, the sound of a tacking carriage is getting louder when a second has passed. It must be the swordsman that father recently hired to teach me how to use sword. I looked through the open window with a silent wind that was about to be blow. The servants opened the door and they welcomed the swordsman that just arrived in time.

A blonde-haired and man who's around his 20s arrived with such perfectly built up muscle wearing a short black cape with heavy leather pants with a Broadsword on his back. He seems pretty cheerful in a long distance. So that's the person who will teach me swords, I will be finished in a second if I were meant to fight him. Of course, magic is also involved with training so I need to get to my senses.

"Magna, your teacher has arrived, come and greet him"

"Okay"

I wore my normal attire and rushed to greet him. To be clear, I'm a little bit scared to interact with a strong looking guy like him. But I should get a grip of myself to make the training go smoothly. Getting along with him is an option for me to improve my close combat skills.

I bowed down to greet him with a formal word.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Magna Nacau. I really look forward to have you teach me"

"no need to be formal, just speak you usually speak and anyways, I'm Jeras Fretz, a A-rank adventurer who is also a swordsman. Nice to meet you"

He was literally staring at my whole body and he's describing about my size, height and the body build. it's understandable though, the mentor knowing the condition of the apprentice is first thing to do before he teaches me.

[He really is an interesting guy]

I nodded and went back to my room to lie down on the bed as a warm up. not to mention, sleeping is the best part of my training that I can't miss. All I need to do is lie down and wait for him to train me. he currently just arrived to there must be a few hours to take a break.

Back then I was used to play RPG fantasy games. I always use close combat than ranged combat even in game. I wanted to use sword for along time and now the time has come. I've decided to make my own sword with my ability steal.

I've wanted to use Katana or Samurai since I was a gamer in my past life. actually, I don't want to remember about my past life but I ended up mentioning about my previous life. I'm not used to live in a world of magic so it can't be helped.

A few hours later, I found myself fully prepared in the field and the swordsman, no, the teacher asked me if we will start the training with an energetic face. With his teeth shining as if he's complimenting me. the wind whistles as if I was on a duel. On top of that, my older sister and Hiara is watching.

The other servants did the chores as usual while Hiara's main job is to look after me so now she's observing me now while I'm practicing. I took a glance at her and our eyes met in a second. She's gorgeous and I think about that every day.

She smiled after we exchanged our stares and I did the same to her then paid attention to the teacher. Jeras slowly takes something in his huge bag. He threw a wooden sword at me and he himself slowly opened his mouth to say the first instruction.

"since you're so young, this is my first lesson to you. Take that wooden sword that was displayed on the ground start swinging it. I made that wooden sword in Astria Empire, that wooden sword is made of high-quality wood so, it's heavier than common wooden sword that can be found here. good luck"

I looked down at the wooden sword and picked it up lately. I sighed and quietly do as my mentor says. Sword swinging is the first thing I could do with a 5-year-old body. tagging along with the instruction is the only thing I could do for now.

A hour and a half later, a bullet of sweats appeared in my forehead, torso and my back. Both of my arms swell for swinging the heavy wooden sword both horizontally and vertically. Actually, I can do this as a piece of cake with the use of my ability to steal someone's stamina but I decided not to but to rely on my own physical body and something so tiring happened to me even in just a short time.

[1412,1413,1414,1415…..1500….1525….]

My mentor suggested to take a break but I replied that I think I can handle it because the sword is getting lighter as I swing it many times. Jeras told me that I shouldn't overdo it and I, who have a mental age of 24, it obvious that i already know when to stop.

I noticed a little pain near my armpit and my legs are getting stiff and numb for standing in a few hours. my body was dripping wet with sweat and I decided to take off my shirt to proceed swinging.

"your body can't keep up, take a break even if it's just a minute or an hour"

"Alright"

I gripped the wooden sword that I've been used earlier, I held it in my hand and walks away to the direction towards the huge tree where Jeras was sitting under the tree shade. my thin body is covered with sweat and my hand feels a little bit light after I practiced by sword swinging.

So, if this is in the game, I've received EXP and leveled up, improving my statistics in just a one-digit improvement. While I was getting exhausted, I stole some of my mentor's stamina and lied down to the grass. I can feel the wind that passes through me, facing the clear blue sky makes me feel paradise and on top of that, it's quiet and I finally take a break in peace.

There no need for me to worry about, no one can notice if use my ability [steal] with no limitations and a short time cooldown. unlike in the RPG fantasy game, there's a long-time cooldown with more mana cost to be accurate. Playing a game is fun and so Is living a life.

As expected, life is a game but both of them have difference yet they are both similar.

"The weather sure is great, am I right, Magna"

"yeah and it's also relaxing."

I've decided that I want to enroll to the magical academy where my mother is teaching there. maybe I can meet talented students there and steal their talents and ability. There's no need for me to think about that if that would for a long time.

It would be better if I prioritize progressing my physical body rather than having my plans on the future. Somehow, I've been asking myself what am I using this ability for but I also heard the goddess said this to me before I get reincarnated into this world.

"you can use that ability, it doesn't matter if you can do it for good or bad that unique ability is yours so do what you want with that. I want to say this to you so soon, that world is totally different than your previous world."

That's what the goddess said before she sees off my back. The world is literally different after I met my families here In Farrei Region of Getzard Empire. Having myself living in a peaceful life, that's all that matters. However, my mentor, Jeras, took something in his bag and slowly stretched out his hand to lend me something.

"here"

A water bottle with yellow liquid filled inside. At first look, it makes me think that it was a urine that being put inside a water bottle. While me who recent just existed in this world for five years, there are more thing that I still don't know even I have an intelligence in my past life. Jeras lent it to me and it may be rude if I don't accept it so, I guess I have to tag along with him. I slowly took the bottle he lend and I tried check on it.

"drink it"

"what Is this?"

"that's a potion that removes your fatigue and it make you feel you're not tired. Most adventurers call it a refreshment potion"

I opened the bottle and drank it all slowly. The mentor is watching with his normal face and in a moment later, what the mentor said is actually true. I no longer feel the swelling muscles in my arms and the taste is like an energy drink in the past.

On the other hand, Jeras after seeing myself being refreshed, slowly opened his mouth to say something to me. the moment he said that, I was surprised a little because it's something I don't know but it feels understandable.

"Actually, people above 12 years old is allowed to drink that, kids with their young body would get side effects such as sickness or much worse if they drink a potion something like that. I don't want to do this but I have a feeling that you're different from other kids and the results was beyond my expectation."

Jeras apologized to me for with such a lower tone and I quickly responds like it fine and it's doesn't bother me at all. My body is light and it feels like I just woke up from my sleep and feel refreshed. I guess it's true that there will be side effects for youngsters who'll drink this. The most important here is I have him teaching me.

He slowly stood up and he decided to say that we will be hunting monsters in the forest. After hearing that makes me feel excited and Hiara allowed Me to go with my mentor leaving and left some additional words, don't do anything reckless.
