Mutated

"Thanks. I will do my best." Ambrose said with a smile on his face.

Nelson smiled back at him and moved aside. "I know you can do it." He said and then moved to his father Geis.

Geis had a smile on his face as he looked at the Beetle on Nelson's shoulder. "I knew you would get one. Now you have got it. Don't be too proud and slack off. You have to give it your all if you really wanna do something."

Nelson listened to his father and smiled back. He then turned around and looked at Ambrose who was going to open the cage.

"I hope he can do it too. I want both of us to train together." Nelson said a he looked at his father.

Geis smiled at his words. "Don't worry about him. He is more capable then he looks. Just like his father." He said and looked at Ambrose with reminiscent eyes.

Celia, on the other hand, woke up from her slumber and looked at Village Chief. Her eyes and lips dried up. Fever integrating with her body as shivers loosened up.

The fast change of temperature made her shiver with even a bit of air. "Father I can't do it! That bird is going to kill me if I tried even once more." She said as her eyes moistened with tears.

Village Chief listened to her and gritted his teeth. He looked at the Fire Arrow Bird with anger. "Only if that Metallic Theif hasn't stolen my money and the Ice Mushroom. That pesky Bird would have been yours!"

He then hugged Celia. "Don't worry about it. Just tame a Magma Dragon. Your Father here will find a way to get you in the Golden Falcon Academy!" He said.

Celia listened to him and wiped her tears away. "Thanks, father." She said and stood up. Her legs spindled down towards the Metallic Cave. She pushed the guy standing in front of the Cage aside.

"Get aside you Fool! This Magma Dragon is Mine!" She yelled at the boy who was currently on the ground.

Everyone when heard her yells stopped what they were doing and turned their head towards her. Many when saw her condition had looks of contentment in their eyes.

Many were happy that she didn't get the Fire Arrow bird. However, none of them spoke even a single word. As they have already seen her wrath on that pitiful blonde and her father.

Nelson sighed at her behaviour and turned around to look at Ambrose to check how he was doing. However, just as he looked at his direction his eyes widened in surprise as no voice came out of his mouth.

It was like he has seen a ghost. "You... You... Why are you standing here and not focusing on taming a Molten Beetle?" He said and then looked at the cage and even more shocked expression appeared on his face.

He almost let out a shriek of terror. There was only one Molten Beatle left in the cage. "Don't tell me you have..." Before he could continue his sentence Ambrose opened his palms.

"Fizz..."

A Black-Red coloured Beetle flew out of his hands and landed on his shoulder. It bobbed its tiny head around looking at everyone with his Mosiac vision.

Ambrose had an embarrassed smile on his face as he looked at Nelson's shocked expression. 'It looks like those Mushrooms were mutated. Or how could just a small piece help me so much? This Beetle didn't even struggle.' He thought.

"I think this Beetle probably likes me," Ambrose said with an awkward smile as he ruffled his back hairs.

"Like You? Am I turning stupid or those Mutated Berries have some side effects?" Nelson couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"I almost fainted there when I was trying to tame this little fella and you are saying that your Beetle 'probably' likes you? That's some next-level modesty. Now tell your brother here how did you do it?" Nelson said as he looked at Ambrose with puppy eyes.

He wanted to know what Ambrose did to tame this Fiery beast in few moments.

"It's really nothing. I think it may be because you went before me and this Beetle was already half-tamed by you and then I completely tamed it." Ambrose tried to make up an excuse. However, just as he did so he regretted what he had said.

"Bullshit." Nelson punched him lightly in the chest.

Geis came from the back and tapped on Nelson's shoulder lightly. "I told you that he is not as weak as you think. Both he and his father had a very bad habit of being an underdog." He said with a warm smile on his face.

Ambrose listened to him and smiled. He wanted to ask about his father more. However, he refrained himself as he doesn't wanna affect his happy mindset now.

"Let's see what the rest of the Villagers have managed to get," Geis said.

Nelson let out a sigh and nodded at Geis.

Ambrose looked at both of them and said. "I have to go. Uncle Geis. My mom would be worrying for me at home. I don't wanna make her wait anymore."

Geis ruffled his hairs with warmth in his eyes. "You are a very intelligent boy. Now go, I am sure Nelson would tell you everything that you missed."

Nelson nodded. "Yes, you don't worry. I will tell you anything significant and make sure to meet me tomorrow morning in front of my house. As now we have got the same beast. We should also train together."

Ambrose just nodded at him and ran away. He wanted to see his mom first. He knew that she hasn't slept last night because she was worried about him.

After moving for just a minute he stopped in his tracks and looked at the two people stopping his path.

He bowed down in front of them. "How can this humble one help Master Zoe and the Lady here," Ambrose said and then looked at them.

His heart was beating at a very rapid pace. 'Did they saw my ring?' He thought and gulped his saliva.

He knew that his mecha was something strange and peculiar in this world and if they knew that he has one. No one would be able to save him.

The muscular bald man in front of him had a wide smile on his face as he looked at him while his moustache made him look even grander.

The Girl standing beside him had emotionless eyes. Her face was covered by a chain veil. Her hairs silky black as she looked at Ambrose.

"Such Audacity. To not kneel in front of your Princess. You know that it is Imperial Crime for peasants like you to not kneel in front of Princess." The bald man said as he took a step forward and placed an invisible force on Ambrose.

Ambrose suddenly felt like someone has placed a mountain over his head. His body automatically slumped down on the ground as he almost vomited some blood.

He looked up kneeling on the ground and saw the Bald Man with a wide smile on his face. "Master Zoe. Forgive me, I didn't know that her grace is present here. Or I would have never dared to offend her." Ambrose said quickly as he clenched his jaw.

'He is too powerful! I can't even move to take my ring out!'

"Stop, uncle Zoe." Suddenly an ethereal voice resounded in his ears and all the pressure on him vapourised in seconds.

The magnificent beauty came in front of Ambrose and showed him her beautiful jade white hand. "Here let me help you." She said in a sweet voice.

Ambrose looked at her hand. He knew that she wants him to hold her hand and stand up. However, if one thing that he had learned after coming to this world is that Powerful people don't even like to touch poor people.

And she was a princess. He placed both of his hands on the ground and stood up. "This lowly one doesn't dare to touch Princess." He said and kneeled in front of her.

Lena looked at him and smiled. She took her hand back. "You are intelligent indeed. Not like these poor Villagers." She said and backed up.

"Boy, consider yourself lucky that you didn't dare touch her grace or death would be the only option left for you today," Zoe said with a smile.

"Orders Princess, what task you have for me," Ambrose said as his heart pounded against his rib cage.

"I like that you went straight to the point. Stand up." Lena said.

Ambrose finally stood up and looked at both of them with respect flashing in his eyes. He knew that even with his Snipe Suit he was completely helpless in front of them.

"We were just having fun and scanned all the Villagers bodies. I didn't expect you to have two mutated mushrooms on you." She said and looked at Zoe.

"Boy, as you are a straight forward guy. I will not waste much of your time. Princess Lena wants those mutated mushrooms that you possess. Tell me about the price." Zoe said with a smile.

Ambrose listened to him and relaxed a little. 'Thank God they didn't find out about my Ring.' He thought.

He smiled at them and took out both the Mushrooms. The blue one had a little Piece missing from it. "I don't dare to ask for any price from the princess. Everything that grows on this kingdom is rightfully hers." Ambrose said.

He was very cautious about the two. They could kill him in an instant.

Lena listened to him and smiled. "You are good at keeping your life. Here take this as a gift. And I hope that you come to the academy. I would love to befriend someone intelligent like you." She said and threw a pouch at him.
