Help! I don't want to NTR the protagonist!

Chapter 7 07. Fraudulent Djinn

?At most Djinns could grant the mid tier talents like <Sword novice > or < Martial Arts adept>

But when it came to such basic talents it wasn't cost effective.

If you wanted truly supreme talents, making deals with Djinns wouldn't cut it.

It had to at least be in the realms of Greater demons or even the legendary Archdemon himself.

Asking for a great talent from a Djinn was just begging to get scammed.

You would only get a result so watered down you wouldn't even be able to recognise the thing you asked for

It would be like asking for a Bugatti and then getting a Prius.

Lucius had known this, so he was never expecting to get a good talent in the first place.

From the very beginning, he had not been asking for a talent, only something that appeared like one.

When someone checked for his talent, they would see the impressive. [Supreme Student] talent but that was all he had no benefits or any abilities from it.

In a way, it was nothing more than a fancy title.

The reason the Djinn couldn't harm him was that he had asked Lucius to pay the corresponding price.

Naturally, with all things considered the price he would have to pay would be negligible. What Lucius had asked for was just an elaborate and fancy sticker.

There was no way the Djinn could have expected what happened.

After all, there was no one stupid enough to try something like this.

Even if you managed to gain a powerful sounding talent, people would expect you to eventually start showing results.

If you still can't show any signs of talent you would brutally be outed as a fraud and the consequences would be dire.

The treatment of someone with high talent that still showed no signs of developing was much harsher than that of someone who had no talent, to begin with.

The reason Lucius dared to play this elaborate game was that he had something nobody else in this world would have,

A system!

With his system he would be able to earn Love Points and exchange for a combination of talents that would be no worse than his fake [Supreme Student] talent.

Besides, Lucius had also left the description of the talent vague enough that he would be given plausible deniability should he show some flaws.

The poor Djinn couldn't possibly know all of Lucius's plans but he did know one thing,

He was fucked!

Hunched over, the Djinn looked towards Lucius with a set of pleading eyes but he was only met with a ruthless smile

"Please my lord, spare me! It was not my fault, I was ignorant-"

But before the Dhin could finish, Lucius cut him off, and just like before spoke the same sentence.I think you should take a look at

"Jump his ass!"

The revolutionary soldiers didn't need to be told twice and with smiles that made even the pure blooded demon shiver, began their one sided beating.

"Wait... n-no... please! not my jewels!!"

The foul mouthed demon faced its early retribution as its pig-like squeals echoed throughout the room.

The revolutionary soldiers were prepared to kill the annoying Djinn but Lucius quickly orders them to spare its life.

With the new contract formed between them, Lucius had a mark that could allow him to summon the specific demon another time as long as the conditions and timing were right. The ability to summon a specific demon could still be of use if handled correctly.

In its most basic form, the Djinn could even be used as extra combat power, besides even if the Djinn didn't end up killing his enemies, just sending it into his enemies' presence would surely disgust them half to death.

Either way, the value of the Djinn to Lucius was much higher alive than dead.

...

Time passed by and now the day had come for Lucius to leave.

Lucius looked in the mirror and took a peek at his reflection he saw a handsome young man with burring crimson eyes staring back at him.

He was dressed in a rather fashionable white academy uniform with faint blue with a bright gold badge showing the fortress symbol that represented Sanctuary.

Lucius nodded.

He was rather pleased with his new appearance and he didn't know if it was because Lucius was designed to be a character that infiltrated the academy but the school uniform really did look quite good on him.

Before leaving his room Lucius looked at the place he had spent the last few weeks in and couldn't help but be overcome with a strange feeling.

This was the first place he had first come into this world so it was natural for it to cause some strange feelings in Lucius.

It was not that he was overly attached to it or anything, it was just that this room would represent something new for him.

It was the place and start of his new life.

It was the place the name Marcus was left behind and all that remained and all that anyone would ever care about would be now on would be the name Lucius Vexx.

There was a faint feeling of melancholy as Lucius stepped out, closing the door on the room and the last attachment he had to his previous world

....

Lucius was walking through the corridors of the bar and picked up his briefcase that Albert had long since prepared for him.

The briefcase had nothing too special inside of it. Just a few sets of clothes and some spare change that he could end up using on his travels.

Lucius originally wanted to bring more money, after all, he was the bonefish head of an organisation, in his previous life wouldn't that make him the CEO, if not the CEO then at least a rich underground mafia boss?

Since he had come to this world and it was now decided that he was here to stay, Lucius least wanted the ability to spend money arrogantly like a truly rich man. Unfortunately, Lucius's naïve dreams had been quickly shut down by Albert.
