Consequences Of What You Are
It had been went felt like 5 to 6 hours sense I completely obliterated that group of bandits. I now sat in a interrogation room with these stang bracelets on my wrist that seemed to be connected by an invisible force allowing about half of a foot of wiggle room. Ironically this was my third pair and the 3 guards from the gate entrance were shocked after the second time i had broke them. Turns out if you put the right amount of magical fluctuations in them they simply disintegrate. The first time was an accident, the second time I joked about doing it again. Tom and Bill looked at each other then at the third gaurd i learned was their northside post boss named Gray.
Well long story short Gray spoke his curiosity and before he could look away from my wrist they simple burst into a myriad of colors like a rainbow that was a 5 year old kid juiced up on all kinds of energy supplements. The 3 guards jaws dropped as the flames slightly lifted and vanished. After a conversation about kindly not doing so again i acquired my third pair. At this point i wanted to keep them for the simple memento of this moment, but i digress.
As i sat with a completely wooden mug of water half full from my accasional sips i decided to check my status. Keeping both hands near each other i used my right hand to tap my temple.

I'd have to really do a deep search and all the point stuff later when i had the time, it was nice to see my skills leveled a little bit. It was at this time I heard a stiff single knock on the door with a solid loud click followed by the door opening. Two people entered. The first was a man looking to be around in his late 20's or early 30's with black medium long hair pushed to the back of his head in a slick combed style. He also had a full beard well trimmed and groomed. His sharp eyes locked onto me with a calculating gaze.
Behind him to his right was a blue haired female. She was a true beauty with a pair of small fancy glasses on the bridge of her nose with a well complementary skin that was almost pale. She wore a white coat that seemed to hang loosely around a formal shirt and pants both of a black color. She had this gaze filled with a silent glee of excitement. It honestly gave me a truly ominous feeling in my gut.
After prying my attention from the women who seemed to be in her mid 20's i notice the man wore a heavy metal chest plate with heavy grieves on his legs both in a blueish staind color with a complementary royal blue officers uniform. There was the same cresent moon symbol on his chest above his heart with a name tag under it embedded in the Armour that read 'GW: Hatting'.
The two entered and sat in the two chairs across from me as the women sat a folder infront of her that i seemed to have not noticed. We sat in silence for a bit as i smiled and took a couple more sips of water in the moments that seemed to become stagnant.
"I am Gaurdian Ward Hatting and this is my accomplice Carly she is a researcher of magical items and phenomenon. It took us a while to get here because we had a few complications of.... protocol." The man spoke slightly eyeing the women while still facing me at his short pause.
"Well, hello, the name is Seth Lyr Sandmen, it is a pleasure to meet you guys but i'm not exactly sure what all this is about." I spoke in a amicable but cautious tone.
The man opened his mouth to speak but the short women cut him off immediately. "Theres been a report about the cuffs your wearing. Despite being a low grade magic item that can cut off magic particals from the surrounding area within 3 feet of the wearer making it impossible for them to use mana, you are apparently able to... overload them. Could you show us?"
Both me and Hatting looked at Carly as she basically had a nerd-gassim in the form of a fit of words. I glaced at Hatting as he glanced back at me with a warry gaze with a squint of his eyes. We stared at each other as i waited for somekind of affirmation with my casual smile. After what seem like him thinking he gave me a nod. I glaced at Carly as she stared into my eyes with glee.
"Haaaah~~" I let out a long sigh followed with "Fine, but after this i dont want anymore of these on me because its the third pair ive.... well gotten rid of today." After i looked the cuffs and focused on the mana pull from my environment in my hands cause a brief but massive suction in the ambient mana, and like that the weird rainbow flames did their thing soon disappearing. Carly's widened beyond what was even thought possible while Hatting face showed intense shock while his eyes had a brief and quick flicker of fear.
Carly slowly turned her head to Hatting as he simply stared at my hands now freed of their bonds. She then spoke words that i very much would regret latter on that following next couple of nights later with a glare full of murderous intent. "He's mine. No other magical enthusiast can know about him. Actually i forbid you from letting anyone know of this. Simply brush it under the rug."
Hatting visably flinched with a quick jolt of his head looking at Carly. Then he looked at me with pity. I didn't like that look at all and even became a bit soured by it. I'd understand later in all honesty.
Carly then look to me and spoke with extreme excitement. "Well Mr.Seth how about you come to my home and labratory on the outskirts of the nearby forest close to town and let me peer into some of your magical abilities. In return I will feed you and give you a warm place to sleep with a handsome amount of golden coins when im done?"
I thought for a moment and before giving my agreement Hatting simply mouth a phase that i seemed to make out. With the same pitied look that became more expressed he mouthed "the consequences of what you are".
