The Extra's Indifference

Chapter 25 Equivalent Exchange

?I woke up at 6.am, washed my face, brushed my teeth and ate breakfast that Aria prepared.

Afterwards i ordered Aria to find me a house with big basement which was located in desolate street or neighborhood close to academy.

Although finding a desolate street close academy is close to impossible, i knew there's a place like the what i wanted. Though i didn't knew it's exact location, but i knew it's range, it's 3 hours long distance to the academy.

I was searching a place to make place for my experiments and i remembered that there was a third rate villain that living in a place that i was searching. This house has long distance to the academy and if i don't attended to classes with good excuse, i would be expelled.

Fortunately my space affinity has risen to Grand grade. So if i use more than half of my mana, i can teleport there with ease.

I took out my second storage artifact, which was in bag shape and poured all of its contents to floor.

For the last months i extracted hundreds of mana crystal from thugs and stored them without absorbing them. I thought that registering academy with 5th circle power would attract attention more than my beauty, which i decided that it would be bad for me in long run.

Anyway i absorbed this hundreds of mana crystals in a hour, it didn't took long because most of the mana crystals were low rank. Though quantity is some sort of quality itself.

I felt my mana quality became [B–] and quantity became [C+]. I thought that quantity too would breakthrough to [B–], it seems that i excepted too much from low rank crystals.

I went exercise room of the academy, which was empty because no one uses it.

Anyway i plan to improve my physical stats to [A–] rank before i became 18 year old. I am rushing because according to my estimation, my muscles will be completely transform at 18 and if my muscles are strong before transformation, they will be more stronger when fully transformed.

After about 2 hours of exercising, i took a bath, wore clothes that Aria choosed and went to Lucy's room.

I knocked the door, after a few seconds later Katie confirmed my identity and opened the door.

"Where's Lucy?" I asked.

Katie pointed at Lucy's bedroom.

"Is she still sleeping?" I asked.

Katie shook her head.

I entered her room without knocking the door and saw Lucy while she was changing her clothes. Well she too saw me, she blushed in an instand and opened her mouth but i was quicker, i stepped back and closed the door before she scream.

'Am i some sort of cliche anime protagonist?' i thought but quickly threw this thought process out of my mind.

I didn't have any time to think useless thoughts.

I needed to make myself blush, because i wanted my image in Lucy's mind is cold teenager not some sort of rock. If i don't blush, i will appeared like cold monster that didn't feel anything even front of semi-nude girl and this will probably make her scared of me or will feel insecure of her body which will make her more possessive of me.

Well i couldn't blush with natural means, thus i manipulated my blood with blood magic and tried make my face red.

My face became red like i wanted but i injured myself badly because of my inexperience of manipulating my own blood, which made me cough some blood but i gulped it and quickly drank water to erase the evidence.

"Why didn't you tell me that Lucy was changing, Katie?" I asked to Katie.

Katie made 'i didn't knew too' gesture.

"Is that so? It is not believable thing but anyway." I said and gestured her to get out.

When she got out of my side, i took healing potion, drank it and my injury healed in seconds.

After a minute or so later Lucy stuck out her head from corner and looked at me. I looked at her too and bowed my head slightly because of 'embarrassment'.

"I am sorry Lucy, it was my fault to enter without knocking the door." I apologized with slightly embarrassed tone.

She came towards me slowly and sat to my side.

"I accept your apology but i have 1 condition." Lucy said and smiled.

'She must have liked to see me 'embarrassed'.

"Thank you. Ask me anything, i will do it, if it's possible." I said with relieved tone.

"Umm brother i will say but don't think me like pervert." Lucy said with strange tone.

'She wouldn't cross the line right?' i asked to myself.

"I won't. If its something drastic, i just wouldn't do it but you can be at ease i won't judge you." I said calmy and smiled reassuringly.

"Let me see your body." Lucy whispered with red face.

"Why?" I asked with slightly embarrassed tone.

"Don't get me wrong! It is just equalevent exchange, every mages do this. You saw my body so in exchange i have to see your body." Lucy said loudly with serious expression but i knew that she was burning with shame.

'It isn't hard or drastic request so fulfilling is okay, i think.'

"If my dear sister wants to see my body, no, if you want equivalent exchange, i can't deny it. But you can see later we have classes." I said with grin.

"You got it wrong brother!" Lucy shouted while punching my shoulder slowly.

Afterwards we went to our classroom and after our first lesson, which was compulsory lecture, we separated to our non compulsory lectures.

Well i saw Flora, my new slave/pet, when i entered the classroom. So i sat her side and put my arm to her shoulder.

"Why did you choose basic meditation course that almost no one chooses?" I asked to her calmy.

No one chooses this class because it is not useful. So i thought that Flora choose this course with important purpose or something like that. I choosed this course because i needed some references of different meditation techniques.

Flora looked at me with her signature grin.

"Why? Are you curious?" Flora said.

"No, not really." I shook my head.

"Anyway, can you lift curses partially instead of fully?" I asked.

"I don't know. No one tried to lift the curse partially instead of full." Flora answered without looking at me.

I grabbed her chin and turned her face to mine.

"Aren't you useless?" I said with serious tone.

"No, i am not. What you asked isn't searched topic but i can try this when i got stronger." Flora said this and turned her eyes away from me.

"Well if you can lift my curse fully, can you recast it partially?" I asked.

"What!? I can try but i thought that you wanted to lift your curse." Flora bewildered.

"Well i am thinking to lift my curse but on the one part is useful to me, so i am thinking of leaving the curse's one part while lifting the rest of them." I explained slowly.

"There isn't useful curse. You are just mad. Kukuku... " Flora said and giggled.

I casted illusion magic around us, so that when someone look at us, all they will see just sitting students blankly.

"I am not, dear Flora, but in the end you will be mad for me." I said and kissed her neck sensually.

Seducing my subordinates or slaves usually more beneficial than not, because someone in love would do almost anything for their love. I am seducing them, so that in the long run they would do beneficial things for me with their free will. Though contract is necessary for safety measures.

Flora trembled for a moment and quickly closed her mouth with her hand and pushed me away with other hand.

"What are you doing Kayle!" She whispered and looked around.

"I am fulfilling my part of contract." I said.

"What if someone sees it?" Flora asked.

I looked around. Well in the class there were only 5 students, except me and Flora and professor didn't even come yet.

"I casted Illusion magic and they can't see through it except professor who isn't come yet." I said pulled her neck to my face.

"If you don't want it, i can stop." I said and let out a breath on her neck.

"You demon bastard!" Flora said sharply.

"Why are you resisting? You yourself asked this yesterday. Or else did you regret it when you recovered your head?" I asked calmly.

"Yes i did, so what?" Flora said.

"It is too late you know. We signed the contract, resistance is futile. Just relax and enjoy yourself." I whispered as if i was some sort of devil.

Flora pushed me away again and pointed the door that professor coming through.

"Stay still for a moment. Look professor came." Flora said with heavy breath.

Well Flora can't resist to me for a long time, maybe few days. So i leave her be, there wasn't any need to push her more.
