[7494 Words, posting this way earlier than expected because I might forgot to do it tomorrow. Well other than that enjoy this chap]
***3rd POV***
Early in the morning. The sky is very clear along with the wind that gently blows from time to time.
Up above is the sun that positioned high in the sky, illuminating the world with its fullest glory.
The grass is swaying in the garden and at the same time also filled with morning dew. All in all today is a very peaceful morning.
Even then Luna felt light headed for some reason, but he instead of thinking over it decided to just shake his head as he started to stretch his body to wake himself up.
'System separate my status into just 3 main attributes then display it'
⟦ Affirmative Displaying Simplified Status… ⟧
⟦ Name: Luna Spencer
Quirk: Space Manipulation, Time(75%)
Strength - 175
Agility - 150
Intelligence - 125⟧
'I really got pretty strong really fast in this few years time, ah~ I still remember when I tried so hard just to increase one point of each' Chuckling at that thought he smiled unknowingly
'System the hell is this 'Time' in my quirk?' Luna asked as he checked his status more carefully
⟦ Answering to the dumb User…
After the host enter a comatose state some lights nurture the dormant cells of the host, as a result it then nurtured the dormant quirk… ⟧
'Meaning?'
⟦ Find it out yourself… Idiot ⟧
'Youu!!…*sigh* Nevermind'
'Note to self never… and I mean never let Lyra play with the system's reply function' I silently thought
Today he decided to find and talk to his dad. Following that train of thought he reached the stairs pathway leading to the dinning room.
While walking he see his dad that seems waiting for someone. Luna's father then walked towards him and called out his name
"Luna we need to talk, go find me in my study room after breakfast" Alex said seriously
Luna hearing from his dad make him raise his eyebrow questioningly, but in the end still nodded his head.
After that small talk, the both of them continued to walk towards the dinning area to eat their meal. He then proceeded to go to his father's study room as planned.
Fortunately the said Study Room is just across the room of Luna's parents bedroom so he quickly found where is it.
(A/N: If you are wondering on why he seems not familiar with his own house? Remember there is still some on going construction inside)
Arriving at the location they then find a seat as they begin their talk.
"Luna tell me honestly do you feel different after you kill those assassins??" As Luna sit down his father asked him directly with a serious expression on his face.
'Oh I guess just like mom he also wanted to make sure that my mental health is fine' Luna thought and felt touched at his father's love for him.
"I don't really feel different dad, maybe just a slight shock because I didn't expect that giving 'that' plans to your company attracted the attention of some people. But other than that there is nothing."
"Are you sure Luna killing is still killing?" Alex said while watching Luna like a hawk.
He looked closely and genuinely afraid to see if his son is just acting strong. Like what if he's just bottling up his feelings to not make them worry.
After sometime of continuous checking, his son seems really fine, so Alex then asked Luna.
"What do you mean?? What's the connection of your blueprint about the attack?"
Seeing Luna's face completely turn serious as Alex asked him completely forgetting their previous topic
"I think the mastermind behind the scene is our competitors. You should know that some companies received high losses as we launched our touchscreen phones along with our other products from before right?" Luna said trying to point out his guesses.
(A/N: FYI this damn world where many people have radioactive/Hyper concentrated powered guns STILL don't have touch screen phones. Maybe in the later season there is but this current time mostly people all just use flip phones like.)
Luna then see his father thinking deeply before he straighten his back and replied
"Then what are you waiting for let's destroy their lovely place then, I will contact dad so we 3 raid their respective companies." He said excitedly.
Luna hearing that facepalmed as he already predicted that outcome from his father.
"Damnit dad be serious!, we can't just waltz in there without evidence. I can also tell from your face that you just want to test your new arm am I right?? don't try do deny it."
Alex hearing that just looked away while whistling.
'*sigh* I knew it'. Luna thought
"Why don't you just pay someone as a mole inside their group then get the evidence before we go atleast" Luna said as his energy continued to decrease every time he talk with his father.
"Sure~ sure~ nice plan but we will still destroy them right? Hey don't ignore me!!" Alex said nonchalantly then shout as the end as he see Luna walked out the room without even looking back.
After that stupid discussion many days passed by. Luna can now feel his body get stronger every day.
His body now looks more refined and now have much lesser baby fats day by day.
His soul is also adapting to his body quite nice and currently at 98% finished now.
Maybe In the next 3 days it will be completed if his calculations is right.
It's currently night time around 11:45 PM and Luna is roaming around the city.
He is quite tired to always be caged inside the mansion so he decided to sneaked outside for the first time.
As he walked around the silent roads Luna suddenly felt some presences nearby. He can feel the fear and desperation on one small presence.
And currently that small presence is also followed by 2 another presences that is feeling rage, agitation and slightly nervousness(?).
Luna being Luna decided to just ignore it instead of going to the scene like a moron.
He then without much thought quickly decided to take the other path, avoiding the troublesome matters.
Luna already have his hands full of people trying to kill them, so adding some more to the equation, will be unnecessary for him.
'I don't want another trouble, I'm sorry' Luna internally thought as he continued to walk away from the scene.
-----
After finding some secluded spot Luna silently trained his space manipulation quirk.
His continuous flow of energy seems to be in a some sort of bottleneck.
So after sometime of fruitless training he decided to just sit down and looked at the dark sky trying his luck to give him some inspiration.
While looking up he can see many stars align to each other. He just continue stargazing as felt relaxed.
As he stare at the dark sky, everything seems fine till he suddenly see the star form some image.
'Thats right!!! How dumb of me maybe I can create some of my special moves based on constellations!!' Luna thought excitedly as he indeed gain some ideas from the stars.
While Luna seems to dozed off he didn't noticed the little girl with a blond hair running in his direction.
The said girl is also not looking so she bumped upon Luna's back breaking his train of thoughts.
"Hmm?"
Looking at the figure, Luna then feel the familiar feeling with her until it clicked in his head.
'Shit please don't tell me that shes the presence I felt trying to run away earlier.' Luna tried to pray
Seeing his prayers didn't work, Luna once again tried to get out of here ASAP.
He tried and keyword 'tried' to not get involved in whatever this is all about.
But before Luna have time to run 2 guys suddenly blocked his path. The first guy have scaled arms along with his sharp claws.
Meanwhile the other guy on the other hand looks completely normal and is currently holding a device of some sort that beeped every now and then.
'Damn I already tried to run but trouble seems always find me' Luna cried internally
Using his thought acceleration Luna quickly deduced the current situation.
'So they want to capture this little girl for some reason huh'
Luna look at the thugs and can now also clearly see the box that one of the thug is holding. Looking closely it really looks like a tracking device.
"*Sigh* What situation did I get myself into this time." Luna said out loud feeling a little numb of the situation.
'I just decided to come out late at night then a new trouble appeared in front of me. Am I really a trouble magnet??' Luna cursed his bad luck mentally
"Alright what's happening here" Breaking his own thoughts, Luna said trying to finish this up as quickly as possible.
Scaled Guy: Give us the girl and anything valuable on you kid.
Normal Looking Guy: That's right comply to our demand and we will let you go.
Luna grimaced at their monologue 'Damn this is really cliché'.
"I will not give her to you alright? Just please go and annoy someone else" Luna said dismissively as he quickly run after he stealthy grabbed the girl away.
But he soon also quickly remembered that they have a tracking device so he immediately changed his plan.
He put the girl down behind in some random abandoned built from his back and now face the 2 guys chasing them.
'〔Scan〕'
'They seems pretty strong, but let's try something different this time' Luna thought silently as he looked at their status
⟦Leonardo ???
Quirk: Lizard Constitution
Strength - 175
Agility - 125
Intelligence - 45⟧
⟦Rai ???
Quirk: Spring
Strength - 110
Agility - 187
Intelligence - 90⟧
To be honest, he just want to try fighting with daggers so following his own preference.
Luna created a small sized dagger construct completely made out his space energy, after making his weapon he then quickly burst forward with the use of 〔Soru〕.
*Swish*
As he approached and see his targets enter his attacking range, Luna quickly reversed the grip in both of the daggers then put the whole weight in both of his arms.
"Haaaaa"
He then followed it up by a strong stab in the duos shoulder but unfortunately the two of them seems have some experience in fights so they immediately reacted quite fast.
The plain looking guy compressed his legs and bounce away as he dodge the sudden strike.
But the Scaled guy unfortunately can't dodge as he got one of the dagger embedded deep in his left arm as he couldn't get away in time.
"Arrgghh" Leonardo the lizard growled in pain as he suddenly feel the dagger penetrating his arm.
"What the hell" Rai or the ordinary looking guy lowly muttered.
'The kid just disappeared then suddenly when he re-appeared he already stabbed Leo' Rai mental thought as he calmly analyze the situation
Seeing he got atleast one Luna decided to leave the dagger as he backed away to get some distance.
The situation looked bad, so the normal looking guy named Rai quickly hide his figure as he can feel the frail looking kid in front of them is releasing some kind of dangerous vibe.
But jokes on him Luna can still feel him using not only his normal heighten senses, but what more of his passive Haki.
"Tch…" Luna clicked his tongue, completely dissatisfied at his own attack.
After leaving one of his dagger embedded, Luna swiftly created a slightly longer dagger this time.
'Looks like this guy really have lizard like constitution' Luna squinted his eyes as he see the buffed guy infront of him.
'Looks like he also have Minor regeneration' Luna muttered as he can see the guy called Leonardo's wound already recovering bit by bit.
But to prevent from happening, Luna focused his attention to the leftover energy in the still embedded dagger as it enter the hole.
Seeing his action got unnoticed he then use it to act like a poison to slowly counter the regeneration.
As he stealthy do that, Luna also spread out his senses wider and as soon as he feel that the normal looking guy didn't want to fight him head on he decided to ignore him for now.
Luna planned to quickly knocked out the injured enemy in front of him first before he chase the other guy trying to hide.
Luna knows that his fighting experience is almost none as his first time fighting is againt those weak ass invaders.
So for now he decided to use this chance to improve just like the previous time.
Luna clearly knows that he just relied on his instinct and also just got lucky that time.
So for now he decided to use this chance to practice and polish some of his moves. While thinking that, Luna continuously perform his combo.
He slashed his longer dagger downward, after missing he then followed it up by a swift vertical strike.
Seeing his attacks didn't do much, he then instead focused on some multiple swift stab by his small dagger as a support.
He use the other dagger so the slight delay in his strikes got covered.
"Is this all kid?, Haha take this" Leonardo taunted as he take some hits but unfortunately he dodged the strong hits.
While dodging, the lizard guy also didn't just stand to just take Luna's offense.
So the guy called Leonardo clenched his arm then punched with his full strength and met Luna's slash.
*Crack*
As their hit collide both of them suddenly heard a cracking sound. The lizard guy grinned as he take the upper hand on the clash.
Luna hearing the sound knows what happened, so he looked at his weapons.
He then see it slightly breaking down as he blocked the Lizard guy's strong punch.
"Damn looks like this Goofy looking guy is also quite more powerful than I thought" Luna silently muttered
He then summoned more space particles and fix his daggers but as he tried to repair his weapons, the Lizard used this opportunity to attack using his sharp claw in a quick stabbing motion.
Without giving much thought Luna abandoned what he is doing as he tried his best to parry the force of the Lizard's barrage of claws using his still cracked daggers.
*Cling*Clang*
*Cling*Crack*
The two of them keep exchanging attacks for sometime and now 10 mins passed by since the start of their battle.
As they swiftly hit each other, just like Yami(Black Clover) said. Luna continuously broke his limit.
Because of that he learned on how to use thought partition to his advantage and multitask smoothly in the middle of the fight.
Luna use it everytime they hit each other, he then used the slight delay from the recoil of force to fix the broken daggers slowly.
By doing this continuously his control over the space also steadily improved tremendously.
-----
Meanwhile the normal looking guy hidding can clearly see Luna's fast improvement in the middle of fight.
"This is bad" Rai muttered
Rai can clearly see Luna's movements smoothened at each exchange making him more alarmed at the kid's battle talent.
–––––
Luna got exited as he see that fighting this Lizard, leveled up his dagger proficiency by a huge margin slowly.
At first he wanted to use his scythe to give it some practice mid fight, but as the battle proceed Luna decided to stay with daggers for now as he can slowly feel familiarity over it.
While they are in a heated battle the normal looking guy wait for an opportunity to make a sneak attack.
Unfortunately for him Luna can feel him backed away far at the side.
Seeing the other guys position Luna then decided to take the chance to slash the scaled thug at his neck.
"Haaaaa-"
"Heh~ You are getting predictable kid" The Lizard guy mocked as he grinned menacingly.
After saying his monologue, Leonardo dodged sidewards and move a little to avoid Luna's slash easily.
He then use that slight gap of mistake from the kid's part to gain momentum in his right claw strike aiming for Luna's back.
Because of the sudden increase in the enemy's speed Luna's tempo also got disrupted.
But even if he is shocked at the sudden development Luna still tried his best to quickly react. Time seems to slow down as Luna used his 〔Haki〕 to the best as he could.
He then tried to use it to either reduce or dodge the incoming claw.
But unfortunately for him, his currently 〔Armament Haki〕 is not that dense enough yet to ignore the hit.
Along with the protection of armament Luna tried his best to twist his body using the slight time he gain from 〔Observation〕.
*Riipp*
But even then he still received the claw attack, but this time it just hit his abdomen.
"Damnit I just got careless!!" Luna cursed at his own stupidity
After that exchange Luna quickly jumped away and distanced himself between the Lizard guy. But now if someone looked closely they can see a four clawed wound on him.
"Haaa-… haaa-" Luna is currently panting heavily as he used every bit of his concentration just to dodge.
On the other hand the Lizard thug is still breathing lightly but now he move quite sluggish compared when they first clashed.
–––––
Luna's stamina consumption is in massive amounts courtesy of the space energy manipulation along with his untrained swift movements.
'Practicing and battling really have very large difference' Luna silently thought as he tried to catch his breath
He then looked at his wound and luckily it's not that much deep but even then it still stings every now and then.
Seeing that Luna is distracted by the pain the normal looking guy dashed forward quickly.
"Chance!" The Normal looking guy named Rai lowly whispered
He then use his spring quirk to bounce using his legs and then have his right arm tightly compressed just like a real spring would, thus giving his quirk name some justice to it.
'Shit I shouldn't have been distracted in the middle of the fight' Luna once again cursed internally as he see the incoming fist
"Hahaha die kid!!" The spring armed guy maniacally screamed as he punched Luna's stomach causing his former wounds to bleed.
Along with the flowing blood Luna also have a big purple bruise from the punch.
'Damn they are also fighting dirty' that is Luna's last thought before he flung away for a dozen of meters away.
The guy named Rai's punch added by the his spring like arms give and added more force upon his fist's contact.
Due to that the stinging pain Luna currently feel worsen and made him more several small windows of mistake.
Of course the two thugs, having more fighting experience utilized this weakness.
"Haha die kid that's for meddling in something you shouldn't have!!" The Lizard guy crazily shouted as he keep slashing at Luna's small figure.
Luna seeing the duos strikes tried his best to defend but due to the mental fatigue and the large consumption of stamina give him much harder time to do so.
As they see their prey cornered they then quickened their combos of multiple punch, kicks and claw strike. Seeing the kid in completely tattered clothes, the duo got cockier.
"You give us so much trouble so we will kill you slowly!!" The two of thugs simultaneously screamed
Unfortunately Luna seems didn't paid it in mind as he keep receiving the small cuts and punch.
And with that the fight goes on, suddenly in the middle of battle the system prompt some notification.
⟦Congratulations!! You Learned…⟧
Looking back from his past mistake, Luna still didn't give it attention as he fully immersed in the flurry of attacks.
As the time passed by, slowly but surely Luna can now stand his own ground against the thugs.
Well at first he used all his everything just to either block or parry but as the time goes on, his actions now looks more natural and less stressful.
But even then he still received multiple small injuries every now and then against the duo of thugs.
Luna knows that he can finish the fight immediately before by a quick sneak attack but now his own selfish decision really made him on edge.
As of now the only thing that keep Luna awake is the burst of adrenaline steadily rushing in his veins.
And due to that it made his body to overdrive and give him more bonus strength, pain resistance and boosted mental awareness.
Looking at the current situation Luna know that he can't just win if this keeps dragging out. So getting feed up at the fight…
"*Sigh* Looks like I can't capture them, then elimination it is" Luna silently muttered as his poison green eyes shined maliciously
As he said that, Luna then throw his current twin cracked daggers at the spring guys direction.
*Swish* *swish*
But even his unorthodox move just caused the guy to stop in his track, but the said guy can still dodge the incoming daggers albeit more frantically.
Seeing that move slightly work, Luna once again do it again and again.
Luna continued to create multiple throwing knives as he slowly took some distance from the duo little by little.
*Swish* Swoosh* *Swish*
Luna keep bombarding the duo with his tiny creations, not giving them the chance to rest even for a slight second.
"Alright that's it, that's enough you brat!!!" Leonardo screamed angrily
Unfortunately the Scaled thug got some chance to charged forward and hold Luna in his place.
'Shit'
Seeing that, Luna then take a defensive stance once again as he endured the barrage of punches from the Lizard.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
After some dozens of punches the Lizard guy named Leonardo backed off completely exhausted.
"Haaaaa… haaaaa… why…don't...… you just die…haaaaa…brat" the Lizard guy complained as he breathe heavily
Seeing the Lizard guy stops in his track Luna silently create a hidden dagger in my left hand.
He then also eat one Senzu bean stealthy, and now without the duo noticing Luna fully recovered from his injuries.
*Swoosh*
"What!!??Again?? Where did he go?!" The Lizard guy panickingly screamed as he see Luna's figure suddenly disappeared in front of him.
Moments earlier, as soon as Luna eat the bean he quickly use soru and landed at the back of annoying guy with spring related quirk.
Luna followed his burst of speed with 4 multiple swift cut to the guys limbs, because of his speed it then give each of his strikes more damage.
Luna after cutting the guy, then made the hidden blade extremely sharp by condensing the space particles and concentrating it all in its tip.
After sharpening he then stabbed the blade of his dagger deeply in Rai's leg.
The thug who realized Luna's attack got surprised and can't dodge in time, he can only watch as the dagger pierced his right leg.
"Argggh…Ugh!! damn you!!!… I will torture you" The Spring man aka Rai shouted as he feel the first, fast and swift slashes of Luna earlier.
Without everyone in the field noticing, Luna's moves become much more silent, deadly and nimble as he keep fighting longer.
His whole demeanor also change slowly as he keep fighting using this self made daggers.
As of now he can now really move like a real seasoned assassin that trained for 3 whole years.
Unfortunately not even a single one of them seems didn't notice this change.
But as of now Luna decided to quickly finish the battle up using his newly created sword technique.
Mid-fight Luna gain some insight as he keep slashing the small and long daggers.
As he move… he can see something… he can see some sort of 'light'
"Haaaaa~" Taking a deep breath Luna decided to let go of his twin daggers returning it to space particles.
The duo seeing the opportunity they then grouped up and approached each other.
"Be Careful he seems preparing something extremely dangerous" The Spring man said to his partner as he also prepared himself.
"Alright your call" The Lizard guy immediately agreed.
Between the two of them the spring man seems to be the brain while the Lizard guy seems to be more on brawl, so without much thought the Lizard guy easily complied.
While the dumb thugs think of plan and slowly recovering their stamina, Luna on the other hand calmed his nerves and prepared his new technique.
While preparing the two thugs just looked at Luna's visage with more and more vigilance.
They both seems trying to figure out what's this dangerous kid trying to do as they feel the sudden shift in his bearing.
'I hope this worked out as I planned it to be' Luna silently prayed in his mind
He then created a small katana fitting to his current height and take an Iai Stance.
He completely focused and concentrated hard. Until he suddenly feel like everything drastically slows down in his perception.
Seeing the surrounding forzen still, Luna instinctively feel that it's now time to strike.
Luna following his instinct, he quickly dashed forward and draw his blade that is currently placed in his left waist.
As Luna's figure blurred without the use of Soru but by just properly utilizing his real agility.
Luna swiftly looked at his two target and cut as fast as he could possibly can.
*Swooosh~*
Luna can see the scaled guy tried to defend but then he counter reacted to it as he channeled some spiritual energy in his blade to deal extra damage and cut throughout the Lizards sharp claws.
*Ziiiiiiingg~* *crack* *crack
Lunas figure now once again can be seen at the back of the 2 thugs.
His self created katana construct also cracked then slowly broke down to pieces.
As the sword disintegrate into air the thugs bodies also started to fall down.
*Spurt*x2
Looking at the two, there is a large deep straight cut can be seen in the both of them ranging from each of their shoulders down to their waist while also bleeding fast.
*thud* *thud*
Seeing the fight is now finally over Luna then once again used his Soru to leave the battlefield.
He then reach the little girl's location only to see her silently sleeping in the ground.
"The heck, I am fighting for my life and you are just sleeping?" Luna complained at the unconscious girl.
Seeing her like that, Luna decided to leave this place with the kid before some backup of those thugs arrived.
Luna searched her whole body for another tracking device or some sort.
After Making sure that everything is fine Luna then gently picked her up.
Currenty It's now dawn so Luna quickly picked the little girl up with both of his hands.
After carrying her Luna then walked to the direction of his house.
(A/N: If you are dissatisfied at the MC's current Strength, just remember he is still recovering from his coma.)
–––––
Arriving at the mansion Luna called our their butler to take the little girl.
"Cedric would you please put this girl in our guest room. Also call and inform me immediately if she woke up." Luna said to their butler
"Right away young master" Cedric bowed
But before entering the mansion Luna used the Mind Arts Skill to put some small illusion in his appearance to make him look completely fine outside.
Checking that everything is in place Luna go upstairs and go to his own room and eat one more Senzu Bean.
After recovering from the injuries he then changed his clothes then closed his eyes to sleep.
(Next Day)
Waking up around 7:00am, after my usual and everyday rituals.
'I remember that I have one notification yesterday?, Meh~ I will check it later'
I entered the inner world, then read the difference between Weapons Mastery and Sword Mastery.
This question is bugging me for a while now since I got low wepons first before the sword mastery.
⟦Skill⟧:
< Passive >
Weapon Mastery(Low) - Increase the learning speed of anything related to weapons by 500%.
Giving the user's mind all the basic stances of the weapons. Also have different guides to reach the peak of each weapons.
Swords Mastery - Increase the learning speed of anything related to sword by 250%. Giving the user all of the 'best choice' of path for entering the Sword Saint stage. Attacks using sword will have 250% bonus damage.
(Grades For Mortal Realm: Apprentice - Sword Practitioner - Swordsman - Master Swordsman - Grandmaster Swordsman - Pseudo Sword Saint - Sword Saint - Sword King).]
"Ohh that's why I can use the improvised dagger I made before. Wait a second, hey Lyra can this two passive stacks with each other?"
"Yep that's right onii-chan~ " She said nodding her head excitedly.
"Hey just to clarify this. Does that mean I have 125,000% learning speed when studying about swords?"
"Hmm?, If that's true then you should already reach the Sword [*****] by now. So nope~ but you have 750% increased speed at least." Lyra said as she expand the horizon
"Maaan~ that a bummer"
"Okay gotta go I need to check the girl I saved also have some breakfast. I'll be back later." I hugged her quick followed by a quick kiss in her forehead before I return to the real world.
It's just 8:45am so I can take a jog first before eating with my family. After of morning exercises I then greet the maid, butler and my family as I go towards the dinning area.
"Mom can I go to gramps dojo again? I want to start training my quirk" I said asking her permission as we eat in the table.
"Are you sure you can handle it after your coma? If you can then just be safe and visit us from time to time" She said quickly approving my request
'Wow she immediately accept? I already planned if this failed miserably. Ohh well' I happily thought.
Having more small talks here and there. After breakfast everyone of us quickly separated their ways.
But as they leave the dinning area I called them to get their attention.
"Oh yeah I want to say something!!. Mom I also bring a girl yesterday and currently in the guest room right now" I said as I remembered the small girl I saved.
Lily: "Girl?"
Mom/Dad ""Youuu whaaatt!!??""
'Maaan~ sounds so wrong for some reason'
'Hey!!Heeyy!! why are they looking at me like that' I screamed inside as I see their eyes looking at me like they all want to kill me.
"Uhhh… I mean I saved a girl yesterday as I roam around the city late at night(?)" I defend myself trying to solve the misunderstanding.
"So you sneak outside late at night" My mom said with scary expression
"N-nno-oo?? , I m-mean yes yes I sneak at night okay it's just that day I promise." I explained stuttering.
If you can fight word by word with your mother then you are my hero or just an idiot and unfilial or maybe both I don't know and I don't care.
(A/N: No he is not beta or something like that. He just have some little trauma from the earlier days with his mom. Well if he ever did become beta I will just change it later I guess...)
"I just want to find inspiration for my special moves okay, can you let me go just this once mom please" I begged
"Suuure~ but you need to come with me tomorrow morning." Alesha said sweetly with stars in her eyes
'Damn another scam'
"*sigh* Fine but I want Lily to come too okay~" I begrudgingly nodded and agreed to her.
Hearing that mom and I both shake our hands together as a sign of our final deal.
"*ehem* So what about the girl again" My father said trying to get us back in topic
"Yeah I save a little girl and ask Cedric to take here in the guest room" I replied to dad
"Big brother do you think she will play with me??" my little sister said with a ckear expectation in her eyes
"I don't know Lily but you can try to ask her if she woke up alright" I said as I pat her head.
Well I didn't want to give her concrete answers just incase the girl didn't want.
"Oh okay~" she said while looking down
*Sigh* I can practically see her imaginary cat ears down as she answered back
"Let's ask Cedric if she woke up, also bring her breakfast if necessary" I said trying to diffuse the situation.
After that we then followed our butler as all of us walked towards the guests room.
⁂Guest Room⁂
???POV
"Papa?? Papa!!" I screamed as I opened my eyes and waking up in an unfamiliar room.
I then begin recollecting all my last moments before I faint. But All I cab remember is I am trapped inside a dark room.
I also tried calling papa but he didn't come. Then there is alsi some people walking outside the room.
I think hard trying to remember more.
Ahh!! I remember I tried to run ouside that room without them noticing but there are some bad uncles found me and they chase me away.
Hmmpp Those mean bad uncles want me locked so my papa will support them
I then remembered that I want to hide somewhere but I bumped into a cool looking big brother along the way.Then after that everything is foggy.
While thinking deeply I suddenly feel my stomach rumble.
*Growl*
—————
***Luna's POV***
We entered the room and search for our guest. She is standing in front of us.
The small girl around 6 years old having a shoulder length blond hair wearing new clothes.
'Hmm?…Looks like the maids changed her tattered clothes'. I thought and nod my head while looking at her figure holding her tummy with teary eyes.
*Sniff*Sniff*
"Uwaa"
She the suddenly run towards my direction and immediately hugged me.
Seeing her like that and shrugged my shoulders as I just let her do what she want.
'maybe she felt safe around me?' I internally thought
Well it pretty normal I guess, that is if you suddenly wake up in an unfamiliar room then you see the person who saved you.
But while hugging me I also noticed My mom is looking at me with suspicious gaze.
'The hell!!, Hey I'm not a lolicon'
Meanwhile my father is currently shocked(?).
"Umm… are calm now? If you are, can you please stop hugging me?" I said to the little girl
"Un" She replied shyly while nodding her little head. But she still keep the distance between us close feeling cautious.
"What your name? can you play with me?? can you, can you pretty please??" Before I say anything my cute little sister pushed me aside and asked her continuous questions enthusiastically.
I just remained silent looking at the two of them.
Then I remembered my little sister will soon turn 4 in a few months or so.
I wonder what will be her quirk, that's for later I guess. Listening to their talk to each other I atleast know that her name is Clara Stone.
I think I heard that name somewhere. My mom give the breakfast to Clara as we invite her to the living room.
After eating the meal my mom pampered my little sister and Clara not remembering why we are here.
I just sigh as I really want to know how my mom's mind work.
I can see my dad just looking at little Clara. I walked forward near my dad to ask him why is he shocked seeing her at first.
I also want to know if my dad know who is she maybe we can help her back to her family.
"Yo dad what's wrong with you, why are you looking at Clara like that?"
"Oh don't mind me I just feel familiar with her name. Hmmmm" I can see my father thinking hard
'Damn that's new, my happy go lucky father is thinking?'
"Aha!!, I remembered now she is the daughter of the president of Stone Corporation, so that's why I feel like I seen her somewhere" My dad said while nodding his head feeling proud of himself.
"Ehh??Oh yeah I remember that too, I also seen some of her photos in the news and meet her in some events right?." I also nodded as well after we complete the puzzle of her identity.
We then keep talking for some time before I remember the problem. Waking to Clara's direction, I called out to her for a talk.
She seems awkward near my mother at first but she quickly bond with them after my sister forcefully play with the both of them.
After a few hours playing around I can see Clara is now smiling instead of being afraid in everything in here.
I walked forward and said "Clara can you tell me why did those guys chased you? And also why are you away from your own house maybe your father is now panicking trying to look for you."
"Hmmmpp guys want to lock me up big brother. They want my father's money like I saw on TV" Clara said cutely
'Kids are watching something like kidnapping in TV? What's wrong with this world is this really normal?' I'm sweating profusely inside but as a 'cool' guy I still keep my calm look outside.
"Do you know your fathers private number so we can call him to pick you up?" I asked her.
As I know to don't trust the workers inside the office because there is a possibility of a spy working there.
So It's more safer to ask her father directly to avoid future problems.
"Sorry big brother… I don't know" she said sadly with teary eyes. Seeing her like that I immediately pulled Lily so she can cheer her up.
I then walked forward and ask my dad if he have her father's number.
Remembering every time that I talk with my father I massage my forehead. Ignoring that feeling I find where dad currently is.
"Dad can you send an appointment to Mr. Stone" I asked him as I enter his study room
"Hmm?? Why all of a sudden? Can we just call his office and be done with it?" My dad answered
"Yeah let's do that, then if some problems comes up I will be the one cleaning up again, no thanks" I sarcastically said
After that the day ended up being with us setting an appointment with Mr. Stone in the next three days.
So for the meantime we will let Clara stay in the house. She will sleep with Lily's room as she requested.
Now that I think about it, looks like she is still afraid, so for the mean time we just let her near that bubbly little sister of mine.
Lily is also excited to have a roommate so they hit each other off rather well really fast.
And viola!! just like that I sleep like a log after a tiring day as I also silently planned something for Lyra in my secluded mind.
She's been with me for a long time so I decided to give her a gift atleast.
I hide my thoughts of planning to make it a little surprise for later.
I will also need to go train my quirk with gramps in a few months or so.
***Next Day***
Inside my Inner World I am using my self constructed katana made up of space energy as I swing it continuously.
I keep having this strange feeling that something is near as I swing my sword.
But again and again that feeling slips my hold everytime I tried to chase after it.
After hours of 'I will never give up' internal monologue like a certain shounen protagonist and maybe some continuous downward slashes.
I then suddenly feel my swinging felt much more smoother.
Sweating hard that my shirt is now sticking to my body, I can now feel like I can cut the very air itself as now its slowly making a way everytime I slashed.
I then continued whatever I'm doing as I feel closer and closer to something.
My swinging speed also steadily increases as the time goes by until
*Swoosh*
I can see a small white cresent air slash burrowing to the ground leaving a trail of thin cut in the ground.
I just dumbly stared down at the thin long cut in ground completely shocked. I don't know what to feel right now.
'Holy moly Did I just do a flying sword attack??!!' I fanboyed internally
I then tried doing it again and again getting addicted to the feeling till I can't feel my arms anymore.
After learning air blades, I return towards our mansion completely exhausted and decided to take a bath after the tiring practice.
Now that I learned something new I then decided to walk around the mansion to clear my head a bit.
While walking I passed the newly created garden. I can see two little girls running and playing around looking peaceful.
I also hear their sweet giggles while they are trying to catch each other.
I just smiled at them as I continued my walk, only to see my mom in the kitchen.
I decided to go inside to see if I can help her or something. Maybe feeling me, my mom approach me while holding a plate.
Seeing the cookies I tried to grab some but my fingers is slapped by her.
'What?? can't a man just have some cookies?' I internally thought while staring at my mom, but well… she also just stared back at me.
So instead of arguing with her I decided to make my own snacks instead.
I make some sandwiches using some sliced bacon and my 'secret ingredients'.
(A/N: I just don't want to write down my own long ass sandwich recipe)
Seeing my work of art food, mom suddenly grabbed one of the sandwich without me noticing.
"Recipe" Mom demanded as she put her hands in front of her.
After that she then continued to annoyingly ask me about the recipe of it.
Heh~ As a businessman of course I then traded with her for some cookies.
While giving it to her, I suddenly hear her softly wispered 'idiot' but I didn't pay it in mind.
In the end she agreed and give me some of the cookies while I give her the recipe as we both go with towards the two cute girls in the garden.
After joining them playing around for a bit. I invited them to eat as I set up the table.
Having a picnic in the garden with my family feels nice. I then slowly closed my eyes as I can feel my body and mind relaxed along with the peaceful environment.
Suddenly I can feel everything freeze up or maybe slowed down is the right words.
I'm currently feeling free and unhindered by anything in this moment.
But unfortunately after a few seconds the feeling disappeared as my surroundings returned back to its normal glory.
'*Sigh*Looks like my perception or something increased again or maybe my soul brokethrough' I questioningly thought
The good news about that is my soul strength soar higher. Bad news is that my soul adapting progress reduced by 10% and now back sitting at 89%.
'Damn I knew this feeling damn too well. It's like I'm back at my old world casually trying to download large files and currently at 99% then suddenly my file will be unsuccessfully downloaded' I face crunched up while remembering those miserable days.
I wonder what will happen after the process of my metamorphosis.
It's already revealed that I will enter some sort of cocoon stage but it didn't indicate how long the transition is.
In the end I decided to think about it more later. Continuing our little picnic for some hours. I returned to my room and locked it tightly as I buy my gift for Lyra silently.
I brought something called 'Abraxas' the world egg in the shop.
Well I picked this gift for her so she won't feel lonely when I'm not around the inner world.
And so that give me the thought to give her a pet or companion inside because soon I will start my hardcore training once again.
Closing my eyes I suddenly felt weird for a second but I just ignored the feeling before I slowly fell asleep...
