I walk out from the bathroom with a towel covering my lower body. I was too agitated, I forgot to bring my pajamas in the bathroom with me.

I see Malvis eyeing me, but after seeing that I'm half naked, she looked awe?

"What?" I say.

"I've never seen an 8 year old with such trained body." She say. "Why are you looking at me suspiciously? Relax.. I'm not a pedophile."

I shrugged my shoulder and grabbed my pajamas and went straight back in my bathroom.

The entire time I was having a bath, I hugged my sword tightly, and watch the door. If there's even a single sound frequency nearing the door, I will attack.

I put my pajamas on. I walk outside.

"Alright what do you want?" I say as I go to the chair near my bed.

"Well.. I just want to know you better.. You see.. I've seen many impossible things," Malvis said. "I have seen the acorn before the oak. I have seen the sun rise from the west and set on the east. But never have I seen such as this: An eight year old boy whose as deceitful as the fey themselves, a boy who has the will of a devil, a boy who is as smart as the smartest sage.

You intrigue me, Killigan. Especially the time where I dive deep inside that brain of yours." Huh?

"What.. did you just say?" I wasn't imagining things right?

"What? I said I dived deep inside that brain of yours. Oh! You think that a mere Bolorix drug can stop my psionic attacks? Haha don't be ridiculous." What?

"B- but Brooke said that Bolorix drug can abolish any mental disturbance." I say.

"They can cure. But not make one immune. The phoeltics drug can." That's the drug Tessa is afraid of! "However the recipes to make them are long forgotten."

"So all of that conversation we had in the forest.. was all an act?" I say.

"Boy, You have so much to learn." She say.

"So? Why are you here?" I say.

"I told you I'm intrigued with you. So? Tell me about yourself." She say while seating down and crossed her arms.

"I mean why don't you just take any informations I have directly from my head. I know you can do that, Malvis?" I say.

"Well, that would ruin the surprise, wouldn't it? Killigan." Malvis say.

"Alright, alright, but after I tell mine you have to tell yours."

"Okay."

Then, I started, "My name is Killigan Norhanrey, an heir for 6th generation. I love nature, I love reading books. That's one new information, your turn Malvis." I say.

"Okay. My name is Malvis Fellidica, the supposed an heir for the 7th generation of Fellidica Household." I love this world, full of surprises, wow. Another plot twist.

Cory did say that he merely theorizes that a certain maid brought my grandma into safety, what if this maid is not a maid at all, instead it's a family member of The Fellidica family even if it's a long distanced family, their aether skill still runs through them.

"That's how you know mom, your mom's mom's mom is the savior to my mom's mom." I jokingly exclaim.

"Yeah, basically. Your turn." She say.

"When I restore Northanrey's past glory and wealth. I want to travel this world." I say.

"Oh? Interesting. I would love to travel as well.. Alright, my turn. I have turned 17 years old this day." WAAIT. 17? Yet this powerful? Dylan now is 21 years old. Is he as strong as this when he was 17? No! He's stronger, I think. He reached legion class when he was 17 so, I suppose he's stronger than Malvis.

"Umm.. Happy birthday." I say half-heartedly. "My turn, my favorite food is Fettuccini aglio olio." I say.

"My favorite food is steak. Well, hasn't this become quite boring, should we.. harden the game?" She say and I'm up for it.

"Should we?" I say.

"Yes. Instead of telling a story about yourself, we ask questions towards each other." She say.

"Haha. Interesting. I'm in." I crossed my arms, "Ladies first."

"Then, Killigan, If you are offered a place as The Emperor of Acasti Empire, what would you do?" She ask.

"Starting off with a difficult question aren't we? I will.. introduce a new schooling system because the current system is just.. inefficient." I say. "Malvis.. What is your aether skill?"

"I call my aether skill Alterization. I can use it to alter any physical aspects about my self. For example, I can alter my gender, my species, my voice, my adrenaline, my size, my age, my facial features, and any other things." She openly says.

"Malvis, aren't you worried that I can take advantage of this information?" I ask.

"No. This information is public anyways, my name is Alter Witch for a reason. And it's not like I wanted to make this information public, It's just I was forced to. Codic law section 2 third clause said that, "Any criminals whom has been proven guilty shall inform the public the information regarding their Aether Skill and Magic."" She say.

"Good! I thought you were an idiot for a second. It's your turn." I say.

"Then, Killigan, what's your aether skill?" She ask.

"The same as mom's, every-time I kill my strength increases." It's technically a lie since it hasn't been proven yet, "Now my tu-

"Lying is prohibited, Killigan.." Shit why did I think of that.

"My aether skill.. May I skip this question?" I ask.

"No." She answers.

"Fine, it's already a huge blunder that I'm in this game. My aether skill is Quantum Manipulation, I can manipulate time limitedly." I say.

"Oho? Are you one of The Outcasts?" She say.

"The Outcasts? Like those fictional terms often mentioned in those fictional books?" I ask.

"Yes. Except the fact that they really do exist, they're just rare." She say.

The Outcasts is a fictional inter-species group who has a very different aether skill than they're parents even though they're their true offsprings. Dylan can't be specified as this since his skill is fairly similar to his bloodline.

The Outcasts.. So they do really exists huh?
