Chapter 29 Let's Go A Date
Chapter 29 Let's Go A Date
?I woke up and it was quite a bit late than normal because of me abusing my muscles to their limit, hence my body needed for long rest.
My muscles still weren't in a good condition to be honest. Enchanting my low strength with [B–] rank quality mana, put huge burden to my weak muscles. It will take a day or to reverts to it's perfect condition.
I rolled the Aria, who was on top of me to my side and got up.
I learned that even if i don't feel too much pain, my body can't endure it too much. Abusing my body might have dire consequences in long run.
That is why today i won't do anything drastic, just stroll around. There weren't any lecture today, so i was completely free.
I didn't have anything to do, so i decided to read books about golemancy, flesh puppets and souls.
Creating a new race is hard and time consuming work, so i thought that making a golem from human body parts and inserting a soul would do the trick. Though before that i have to learn to see and manipulate souls.
I went to academy's library, chose some of the important looking golemancy book. Students can't bring the books inside of the library to outside of the library, so i had to read the books in the library.
I read the book for a while and closed the book.
Afterwards i took out a paper and wrote important pieces of golem making.
Golems can be made from almost anything, but organic materials aren't recommended because of rotting issues.
Golems usually have a core and their core is like their command center or brain.
All of the golem's commands would have to convert in runes and have to engrave neatly on the high quality mana core.
After that i started to organize important information.
While i was organizing someone sat opposite of me. I didn't even looked at them because i didn't cared.
"Hello there Kayle. What are you reading?"
I looked at the person who called me and saw Hywel, who was leaning to his hand lazily.
"Nothing important, just golemancy." I said with neutral tone and stored my note paper that i wrote.
"Are you interested in golems?" Hywel said boringly.
Hywel must be bored as hell to look like this. I could easily tell that if i stay quiet for a moment, he would fall asleep.
"No. I was bored, thus i read it randomly." I said and sighed.
"I am bored too." Hywel said.
"I can see that." I said.
Hywel was bored as hell, so if i offer a interesting idea to him, he might accept it. So i tried to take advantage of it.
"If you have nothing to do, let me inspect your eyes." I said.
Hywel tensed and looked at me weirdly for a moment.
"You won't pluck my eyeball, right?" He asked fearfully.
"I won't." I said reassuringly.
Hywel visible relaxed and sighed with relief.
"But if you give me permission, i would pluck them." I said and grinned.
Hywel paled and waved his hand front of himself.
"No no no no no. Don't pluck them." Hywel denied immediately.
"Relax, i won't pluck them without permission. So let me inspect them for a while." I said and looked at him with puppy eyes.
Hywel dazed for a moment and slapped himself hard to woke up.
"Sure, but don't give me too much pain." Hywel said calmly.
"Should i inspect here or somewhere more comfortable like my room?" I asked.
"Let's do it in your room instead of library." Hywel said and got up.
I got up too and led him to my room.
I entered to my room and looked around.
"Hmm it seems Aria is still sleeping." I murmured.
"Who is Aria?" Hywel asked curiously.
"My maid." I said flatly.
"How do you know that she is still sleeping?" Hywel nodded and asked.
"There's little bit a dust on there, do you see it?" I said and pointed at small speck of dust.
"Yes. So what?"
"Aria is hard worker and everyday she would clean up the all of the rooms completely." I said and smiled a little to show Hywel that, how much i 'care' my maid.
"I see." Hywel nodded.
"Well i planned to lay you a comfortable bed. Unfortunately for you bed is taken by Aria, so we will use a less comfortable one." I said and made my way to my artifact making room.
I entered the room and gestured Hywel to a operation table. This was my old operation table that i used for 2 years. I brought it with me thanks to the Yarin's [Shadow Storage] ability.
Hywel started to tremble and looked at me to see, if i was serious.
I nodded to him slowly and he looked at me like as if i betrayed him.
"You won't pluck my eyeballs but cut me open like lab rat!" Hywel shouted and pointed me like i was criminal.
Hywel was protagonist in the novel but firstly he was normal teenager.
Hywel, like every protagonist got his first character development after his best friend died in front of him.
He became little less friendly, more cold towards to others and trained harder than usual.
Currently Hywel is normal teenager that didn't get his character development, which means that i can manipulate him with little bit effort and beauty.
"Calm down. I will just inspect your eyes. I wouldn't cut open my childhood friend and why are you even scared. We are in the academy, no one would let you to die." I said with calm tone and slowly pushed him to operation table.
Hywel calmed down quickly because i was right.
If a student in critical condition, academy's barrier would sends a signal to a professor that near the student. If students dying it would heals them enough so that they don't die until professor comes.
Hywel laid down to the operation table and looked at me for explanation.
"Can you activate your eyes to wall or else is it have to be something alive?" I asked.
"I can activate it." Hywel said.
"That is good but don't activate it until i say." I said and leaned to his face.
I looked at his eyes normally but i didn't saw anything different than normal eyes. Afterwards i activated status lenses to on his eyes but it gave me only it's name [Soul Eyes], nothing else.
I poured mana into my eyes, which made my eyes better and look at his eyes one more time.
I saw minuscule amounts of unknown element circulating around of his pupil.
I straighten myself and looked at Hywel's state.
Hywel looked like young teenager that tries to hold back his impure thoughts. He was slightly red and there was slight bulge on his pants.
I am beautiful man, so when i brought my face closer to his, he must have some sort of issues. He must even had questioned his preference.
"Oh my! Are you entranced by my beauty?" I covered my mouth and giggled.
"Shut up man! It is your fault." Hywel shouted embarrassedly and hid his face with his hands.
"You are not a orphan any more Hywel, you are Duke Ashtorn's son. Get used to beauty, or else you will caught in some honey trap." I advised seriously.
Hywel took back his hand from his face.
"I am already used to it man, but your beauty isn't ordinary. My father especially trained me against to honey traps. He said that most of the nobles die because of their lust." Hywel said.
"Well, let's get you used to my beauty. If you get used to my beauty, no one can lure you with their beauty. After all i am the most beautiful human." I said and puffed my chest with pride.
"You are right but how will i get used to it?" Hywel agreed my narcistic statement without a thought.
"Let's go a date." I said flatly.
"No." Hywel denied immediately.
"It won't be even real date. Why are you even denying immediately? We will just stroll around like friends." I said like it was nothing.
"Actually you are right. With that we can talk about how you became a Ceurie." Hywel nodded.
"Enough for chit-chat." I said.
"Can you show me soul element?" I asked.
Hywel nodded and showed to me a cold, ethereal looking gray thing on his palm.
It seems that my guess was right. The element that in the Hywel's eyes were soul element.
"Would you see my soul if you activate your eyes and look at the wall while i was inspecting your eyes?" I asked.
"No. I need to focus on the person if i want to see their soul." Hywel answered.
"Okay activate it and look at the wall." I said.
Hywel did what i asked and looked at the wall.
I inspected his eyes little bit distance because i didn't wanted him focus on me.
I saw that soul element that circulating on his eyes approached to center and merged at the center of his pupil.
"Hywel i will try something and i will probably paralyze for a while but don't worry too much about it." I said.
"Only paralyse, nothing more right?" Hywel said.
"My eyes will bleed too, but nothing more." I said and without giving Hywel time to objection. I transformed my mana to revelation element and injected to my eyes.
My [Revelation Eyes] forcibly activated again for a second or less. My eyes cried blood and my body released itself because of the burden but i learned what i needed.
Hywel got up quickly and tried to grab me but i didn't fall.
I held myself with ice magic. I covered my legs to knees with ice and made ice stick to my back, so that i could stay straight.
Hywel looked at me with wide eyes because of my mastery of ice and chantless magic.
[Thank you for your help Hywel. I wanted to talk with you more but as you can see, i can't even talk right now.] I made this message with ice and showed it to Hywel.
"It can't be helped. Do you need some help?" Hywel asked worryingly.
[No need. Thank you for your consideration.]
"No problem." Hywel said and got out of my room.
I teared my shirt and pants with ice magic and roughly cleaned blood on my face with it.
Afterwards i manipulation the ice around my leg and went to my room and laid myself on the bed.
When i laid myself to bed i heard a shout.
"Brother are you alright!?"
