Ability Test (Part II)

Then for number nine, like number eight, he also feared for his life.

"Please don't do this. I won't ever commit a crime anymore!"

He begged me to stop, but my empathy was pretty low. Plus, if he didn't want to be here. Don't commit a crime. It was as simple as that.

With my ability activated at ninety percent, his body turned green. Did he obtain some disease in a matter of seconds?

While he wasn't dead, I could tell it would be agonizing. His skin turned green, and his eyes were drying up a storm. It was an ugly sight to see.

"Is the disease contagious?" My boss asked.

"I don't know. All it did was make them unlucky. While it was my fault that the disease had increased, he probably already had it, but it was minimal."

After finishing the ninth subject, some people with complete body protection suits took his body. I wondered if he would get experimented on.

As for the final test subject, he was shitting himself. His death was guaranteed at this point. Even if it weren't death itself, it would be painful.

"Please forgive me! I will do whatever you want! Don't use your powers on me!"

I then looked at my boss, and she ignored him. Death was something that was going to happen to them anyways. They were going to rot in the cell if not for me.

Finally, for the final subject, it was different from anything that I had seen. Under him was a dark portal full of creepy nightmare-looking things.

They dragged him under, and the man was screaming from fear. With him fully dragged, the portal was gone.

"Holy shit..."

I couldn't help but mutter. That's pretty bat shit insane. My boss was undisturbed by this, but Jasmine didn't take this well.

While we were testing, subject number three stumbled and tripped with almost all of his hair shaved.

"Hmmm..."

She was satisfied with the results, and my boss smiled, seeing my potential. Subject three, who had been cursed a while, was now dead. He had tripped and fallen into an iron maiden.

The other subjects that are here were one and two. The rest were taken to be recovered. I was surprised that they would help them.

"Let's go back. We will have these two monitored, seeing the results for them."

Returning to her office, the both of us sat on a chair. Boss had sat at a tall chair, making herself comfortable.

"Now that I think about it, what do I call you? Calling you boss sounds weird when you're not my boss yet."

"You may call me Linsey."

She flashed me a smile saying so. It was creepy how she could smile after what had just happened. It was like she found a fantastic new toy to play with.

"I decided to change the contract."

Linsey, who somehow was ready, gave me a geass. Everything in the previous contract was added, with 200M added. A defensive artifact and an ability-level capsule.

Looking at the restriction, I'm not allowed to use my ability on Linsey herself. Why am I not surprised that she didn't add anyone else?

The rules were pretty lax. I'm free to do what I want without betraying them or going to any other organization.

There was one thing I only had to do. If Linsey orders me to curse someone, I must do it. Of course, there was an exception, and that was me! The rest doesn't bother me, and this contract was much better than the previous offer. I quite like it.

"Do you accept?" Linsey asked.

With my mind made up, I signed the contract. There weren't any losses for me signing this. While I may not be able to hurt my boss, I have no reason to.

"May I ask why you're giving me so much with so little return?"

"I feel like we will get along."

I don't know how to reply, but I doubt Linsey was hitting on me. She just found me more entertaining to be with.

"Then, could I ask for a few requests right now?"

"Go ahead."

"I plan to disown my parents. And doing so may take a while."

"That's easy. Consider it done in an instant. Anything else?"

"I also would like to find a new place to stay."

"There is a suggestion that I could give."

"I could transfer you to an academy. There you would be able to live life as a king."

School? I couldn't help but frown when I heard that word. The school itself wasn't bad, but the people around me were fuckers that I wished could die.

"Not so fond of the idea? Don't worry. The school prioritizes your overall ranking. Think of this as a do-over. You will enjoy it with your rank."

It sucks how she could read me like a book. But she is right. With my current ability, no one could mess with me.

"You would also gain additional resources attending that academy."

Additional resources? Count me in! There is nothing wrong with being greedy.

"Then please sign me up."

"That is all. Get ready to pack up. In two days you will start attending. Everything will be handed over once you get there."

Linsey had instantly teleported me back to my house.

[Third Person POV]

"Boss, why didn't you add me to people not to harm!"

Jasmine, who was acting mature, had now cried in panic after seeing Charles gone. She had seen what he could do and was scared of that happening to her.

"Hmm? If you don't want to be cursed by him, then do it yourself."

"To summon things from the realm of hell. What a scary ability."

The realm of hell is a dangerous place. Monsters that live there are immortal. Going in there is instant death.

They say these monsters were sinners killed and revived into monsters with a curse of immortality, unable to seek salvation. They are living in the world only to suffer. How tragic it is to be in a place like that.
