Breaking Point

Mika's eyes glowed yellow as his pupils constricted into the typical serpentine slits while looking at the frizzy haired woman who opened the door.

But just as her eyes fell on him,she jolted away as she looked at him with a face full of terror and anxiousness.

"Young master?",said the woman in a quivering tone as she slowly stepped back inside the room under his gaze.

Noticing that the woman was scared ,Mika deactivated his [Spirit Vision] and smiled,changing his entire demeanor.

"Good afternoon,Miss Catelyn.I came here to discuss our curriculum for the 2 years you would be teaching me."

"And ,as you can see, I am perfectly fine now and looking at your healthy appearance,I believe you are free as well?",asked Mika with a smile on his face while bowing.

Hearing the the so called ' retard ' speak so fluently to her,she just looked at him with a confused expression as she inquired,

"Eh? You can understand me?"

"Huh?...ofcourse I can"

"But weren't you mentally retarded? You woke up two months ago, didn't you?

Even when I visited your chambers ,you didn't speak a single word...."

Hearing her mutter ,Mika chuckled inwardly as he potrayed his inner thoughts with a fake smile on his lips as he said,

"I am perfectly healthy both physically as well as mentally ,Miss Catelyn"

"And,as for your second question...",said Mika while fulttering his white eyelashes,

"Yes...I woke up two months ago..."

Catelyn's constricted as she looked at the youth she was about to teach.

'How can I be such an idiot to never consider this possibility?'

'Ofcourse he is healed,other wise why would I be summoned here to teach him', thought Catelyn.

Seeing that the black haired woman was standing wordlessly,Mika cleared his throat,

"Heum..."

"Can't we talk about this somewhere better,Miss?"

"Ah! Please come inside", coming back from her stupedified state, Catelyn regained her bearings as she invited him inside the room.

Mika entered the room and strodded towards the chair beside the tea table,breifly looking over the drawer beside the bed.

He was actually very tensed,though not visible on his expressionless face,to speak to this woman as he tried his best to maintain proper etiquette.

During these two months,he had attended the mandatory etiquette classes all people of this world had to learn in order to not offend either the Nobility or big shots of the other races.

Hence,he went through thorough training from the church priest regarding such matters and as Catelyn was a noble lady from the capital,he didn't want to offend her.

Taking his seat,he looked over to the squirming lady infront, sitting far away from him on a chair.

Seeing that the lady was absolutely silent ever since he came inside the room,Mika tapped his index and thumb twice ,activating his [Spirit Vision].

But before he looked into her body to discern the colour of her orbs,he decided to make her speak.

"So,Miss Catelyn,would you mind elaborating my curriculum on what you will be teaching me during this 2 years tme period?"

"Ah!..yes ", Catelyn said absentmindedly,before returning back to her scholarly look and started elaborating on his curriculum.

"We will be under a teacher and student relationship during these two years.I will mainly be focusing on teaching you the Geography of the Theocracy.It's laws,customs and the life style.

"I will also be teaching you Element-Neutral spells like [Flint],[Spark],[Clean],ecetera , for performing basic nesscessties for our body and ..."

Just as she became engrossed in telling him about his curriculum,Mika focused on his view of her body as he scrutinized the orbs.

His eyes constricted as he noticed the orb of black colour glowing intensely while other orbs glowed faintly or were dimly lit.

'She has something she is scared about, it seems and looking at her blank alignment,....

'She is hiding something...',thought Mika as he subconsciously grabbed the arm rest of the chair.

This act of his didn't go unnoticed by Catelyn as she looked over at the youth sitting infront of her.But to her surprise,she saw the youth just looked at her chest with a scrutinizing gaze.

'What...what is he doing!', thought Catelyn as she looked down at her chest .

Seeing that her cleavage was on display through her White V-neck blouse,her face flushed she hurriedly covered her chest,while looking away with a scared expression.

Noticing the sudden movement near her chest,Mika flinched as he noticed his mistake.

'Shit!...I forgot I was looking at her chest!She will distance herself from me.Now that she knows I am a perverted creep',thought Mika as he instantly decativated his [Spirit Vision].

'But it isn't bad either.She can use this to try and seduce me to either kill or threaten me as well.'

'When she does that,I can somehow use that to my advantage and find her motives',thought Mika while standing up.

Looking at her shivering figure ,Mika sighed as he said,

"Is there something else you want to talk about,Miss?"

"Ah!..Yes! Your classes will start from next week as it would take sometime to prepare for your curriculum.During that time,I will provide you with some study materials and sample tests to get a better understanding of your knowledge and learning ability",said Catelyn regaining her professional demeanor,still covering her bountiful chest with her dainty hands, while trying really hard not to look at him.

Hearing her speak,Mika nodded his head and bowed before leaving the room.

Click!

The door closed.

And just as the door closed , Catelyn removed her hands from her chest and quivered, as tears welled up on her eyes.

"Is everything all about my body?"

"Am I just a breeding tool and nothing more?"

"Even a 13 year old boy lusts after my body....",muttered Catelyn as she subconsciously rubbed her elbows while pulling up her knees to her chest.Trying her utmost to hide her sinful body from the world.

But this time,she didn't cry.

Her seemingly beautiful eyes lost their last shred of kindness as she forcefully wiped of her tears,she he declared in a vile tone.

"If all that matters is my usefulness and my body,then I will use them"

"I will prove my usefulness to them and show them that even me,a mana-less bastard is not just a breeding tool...."

"And I will kill them!

"I will take my revenge!",declared Catelyn as she clenched her fists,blood flowing through her dainty hands as the nails dug into her fair flesh.

Standing up from her seat ,she strodded towards the full body mirror inside the room.

Looking at her lovely yet distraught appearance,she gritted her teeth as she ripped of her dress.As tears finally flowed down her face.

Creek!

Creek!

Eventually, her entire dress and her underwear were in tatters as she looked over at her body in the mirror.

Her fair white skin,her bountiful mounds and her seemingly fine honeypot were on full display but her eyes were filled with bloodlust and and a thirst for revenge,despite having such an alluring figure.

Tying her cascading black hair into pony tail,she muttered with eyes full of pure evil,

"I will surely have my revenge!"

***

It was already 7 in the evening when Mika returned back to his room on the other end of the hallway.

Entering his room,he sat down on his bed while massaging his forehead.

'I need to observe her more to figure out what she is thinking..:

'Is she the demon spy the system was talking about but...her race clearly said human...'

'Am I reading to much into things or Is my deduction faulty?'

' I need more information as well ,but....I didn't touch and see the Step-sisters status window ,Did I?'

'I need to get close to her and use my skill to see her status window.... atleast to confirm my suspicions..'

'But,either way,be it the Step- Sister or Miss Catelyn not to mention the gardener ,all of them are suspicious and without touching them, I can't determine weather they are a demon or not'

'Ill check up on the gardener tomorrow...', thought Mika.

Knock!

Knock!

Click!

Suddenly a knocking sound entered his ears followed by the clicking sound of the door,only to reveal a blonde haired woman entering the room.

Noticing his mother entering the room.,Mika changed back into has Oscar worthy acting mode and smiled at her.

"Mother!",said Mika.

"Hoho,young man,how is your health, dear?"

"It's fine ,mother.What brings you here?"

"Oh my goodness.Can't this poor old lady visit her only ,sick son. ",Said the woman in a melodramatic tone as she sat beside him on the bed.

'You don't look old, though' thought Mika.

Mika shook his head as if denying her plea and said,

"It's not that,mother.Dont you have a date with father now?"

"Haha,my son is being cheeky nowadays, huh",said Linda while pinching his cheek.

"Ow!", exclaimed Mika while rubbing his cheek.

"Anyways,it's not that I have a date with your bastard of a fa- I mean your father,it's about that thing",said Linda while winking.

Seeing her wink,Mika fell into a dilemma before his realised what she was talking about.

"Ah,that!", exclaimed Mika in a fake tone.

But inside he was banging his head on a hypothetical wall.

'F*ck! I forgot about the slave!'

Seeing her son understand her wink,Linda said in a soft tone,

"It's ready and ...It will be arriving tomorrow at midnight ..."

"But that is not what I am trying to say,it's about that thing's existence."

"No one should know that ,it is yours..."

"In the eyes of the public,it will serve as a knight under you but internally,other than the other members of the house,except the gardener,will know her true indentity "

"Miss Catelyn,your teacher can know as well , considering she is a Noble"

Placing her hand on his should, Linda said while caressing him,

"Listen,Mikhaela,we love you and don't forget that.Even if you screw up in the academy,don't mind it and come running into my arms.We will try our best to give you a better life,this time."

"Live your life to the fullest! Even if you end up becoming weak,don't mind it!We will put our utmost resources into you and make you strong enough to survive.."

"Dont even think about it being a waste and have the confidence to see a new day ,okay!"

Closing her eyes,she muttered,

"I couldn't hold myself when you became paralysed or when your mind regressed... "

"I was devastated and shocked.I lost my reason to live in this world.I gave up on life.Only the hope you waking up some day kept me alive ,but..."

Opening her eyes to look at her only son,she said,

"I just hope you won't give up,like I did and live a peacefull and healthy life this time..."

"Remember about his old lady when everyone in the world turns their back on you, and come running into her arms,okay..."said Linda before pulling her son into her embrace,as the accumulated tear drops fell down from her glistening green eyes.

Mika subconsciously felt his stomach churn up as he heard his mother's lovely voice full of concern as he hugged her back .

'She.... really is a good woman.A good mother indeed'

'I would love to act like her son but....'

Mika's eyes glowed yellow as he thought.

'What if one day she tries to kill me'?

Immediately he muttered,

"Identify"

[Emotional Status: Thoughfull;Scared: Concerned]

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

'Half-Elf?..and a Cleric with a Ranger Domain...'

'She is quite powerfull it seems.Much powerful than Rebbeca but it seems tha her potential is low as compared to Rebecca but ...who knows her bloodline might help her....'

'And Ranger Domain? Is it something that people speciallize in after acquiring their main class?

'It seems she has a class of a healer but the combat ability of a Ranger, which also means she can use buffs as well as support in a battle through ranged attacks.'

'Quite the useful class indeed,but I will need more information regarding domains I guess.I should also ask Miss Catelyn in regards to this matter'

'Her alignment seems good too'

'But I can't deny the possibility of her killing me if she found out I am not her son.And I can't believe the system as well,because human emotions always fluctuate ...'

'This day's friend might be that day's enemy'

'It all sums up to...just when..'

Tapping his index and thumb,he activated [Spirit Vision],noticing the fluctuations of the orbs on her body.

As he hugged and carresed her back,the black coloured orbs depicting anxiousness, uncertainty or other negative thoughts slowly faded away as the red ,orange and other colours glowed intensely.

Deactivating his [Spirit Vision],Mika sighed...

'It seems I can only predict to a certain extent,if a person is an ally or enemy.This skill on the surface might look omniscient but is quite vague and changes depending upon the situation'

'I need to have a better understanding of this skill and experiment on it.Not to mention that bloody skill is also there, waiting for establishing control over me.I will need some mastery over it as well'

After some time,he removed himself from his mother's tight embrace,and wiped her tears with a smile.

Looking at her beautiful face,Mika pecked on her fair cheek as he said in a comforting tone.

"Dont worry mother.Neither will the resources not will your support go unhonoured.I know you love me but I want you to know that I love you as well."

"Thank you for looking after me all this time and for not giving up on me."

"Thank you...",said Mika with a cheerful yet fake smile on his face.

Linda's eyes started tearing up again as she came back from the shock of getting kissed on her cheek.

Her floodgates opened as she started crying again,hugging and rubbing her face on his white shirt.

But contrary to what Mika had thought about a beautiful scene where a pretty woman would cry on his manly shoulders.

But looking at his snot soaked shirt,he thought otherwise.

He realised,that fantasy should always be kept in fantasy and shouldnt be brought to the real world,except in his case this fantasy world being his real one,for the time being.

After another round of kisses and hugs ,Mika went down for dinner with his mother ,who clinged to him like a koala bear.

After eating a hefty dinner with the family of four ,Mika came back to his room while massaging his belly.

Coming inside his room,he layed down on his bed as his eyes subconsciously glanced in the ceiling before drifting off to sleep.

Tomorrow was a new day and the arrival of his slave as well.

But unbeknownst to him,a giant blood red eye with black veins manifested above him on the same place as it looked down on him, after which it closed its eye lids and disappeared.
