Chapter 33 Theory For The Scars
Chapter 33 Theory For The Scars
?I woke up at and opened my eyes without moving my body. I saw unfamiliar ceiling, rather than my room's ceiling. I looked around and saw Lucy who was snuggled to me like kitten.
I realized that i was in the Lucy's room but i didn't remember that how did i come here. I tried to remember it, but my memories were blurry.
It seems the drug that i took because of some young masters made my memories blurry, or else how could i get dizzy because of a glass of wine. My constitution is [D] rank, it isn't low. It is impossible for me to get drunk with just a glass of wine.
I didn't think that i would drugged because of some petty young masters that rejected by Lucy.
Lucy is beautiful girl, so it was understandable for some young masters to approach her, but i didn't expected that she already rejected minumum 6 young masters in the academy's first week.
I didn't think about dead young masters because academy doesn't take responsibility of the students that dies outside of the academy.
If their families are powerful enough they could find me but they can't do anything to me as long as i am in the academy's responsibility. After graduation, they can try to kill me but i was sure that i would get strong enough to defend myself against to some petty nobles and their soldiers.
Anyway, it seemed to me that my common sense was slightly off. I knew Lucy is beautiful girl, but i didn't think that she would get this much attention, just because of her beauty.
I didn't understand this because no one approached to me in the time that i was academy.
Is it because my beauty was too much for them and they didn't dare to approach to me, or because i was hanging out with creepy Flora Sunwillow? Probably mix of the two.
I decided to lessen my hanging times with Flora, or else how will i seduce new targets and form a contract with them.
I can't approach someone without reason because i made my personality is cold.
That is why i decided to make a situation, which will force my target to approach me.
Though for this, i have to wait for the classes. Which isn't time for them too.
I got out of the bed gently, without waking Lucy up and get out of her room.
Afterwards i started to walk towards to my room but strangely students were looking at me more than usual, while i was walking to my room. I didn't even glance at them and entered to my room.
When i entered to my room, i saw the Aria, who was preparing food and Aria saw me.
"Good morning Aria." I said and sat down to the dinner table.
"Good morning master. Can i ask a important question?" Aria said and lowered her head with shame.
"Sure." I nodded.
"Did master come here from outside with this pretty girly clothes?" Aria asked and pointed my clothes.
I looked at myself and noticed that i forgot to change my clothes because of my dizzy state.
"I did." I nodded.
"Didn't no one say something to you master?"
I put my chin to mt palm and looked at her with thoughtful expression.
"When you said it, i remembered that some students tried to talk me but i ignored them as usual."
"Master, you have to at least listen to around of you. You can't live like this without even listening what other's said." Aria said monotonously and made scolding gestures.
"It can't be helped Aria. I am doing it without even thinking." I said and gestured her to come to my side.
Aria came to mt side and looked at me questioningly.
"Can you look at my back my dear?" I asked.
"Sure master, but can i ask what is this for?" Aria nodded.
"There is 2 scar on my back that i don't remember getting it. So tell me your thoughts" I said.
Aria opened my clothes and looked at my scars thoughtfully.
"These scars were there when i saw master's body." Aria said quietly and slid her finger on the scar.
"But they were shorter than right now around 5 cm. But these scars are around 10cm to 15cm." Aria said.
"Is that so? Why didn't you ask to me?"
"I thought master knew these scars. Usually people knows their scars locations." Aria said flatly.
"You are right." I nodded.
"So what's your thoughts on these growing scars?" I asked.
Aria's imagination and experience is better than mine, thus i left this job to her.
Aria closed her eyes for 5 minutes or so and started to speak.
"They might be some sort of symbolic manifestation of some curse on the body."
"Nope, it is impossible. My curse isn't deadly and i didn't get any new curse." i shook my head.
If someone cursed by deadly curse, a symbol would appear on their body according to curse. According to novel it is twisted way of the world to give them a small chance to save themselves. Appearance of symbols are causes directly by the world, not by the curse caster.
"What if someone comes at night and do something to master's body?" Aria said convincedly.
"Why would someone do something that causes just scars on my body? I didn't feel anything different with my body." I asked.
"Some people likes to leave scars on the beautiful faces and bodies." Aria nodded her head proudly, as if she found the reason.
"Do you have any other idea about this?" I asked again because i didn't convince by Aria's ideas.
"I have 1 last idea but it's little bit absurd." Aria looked at me as if she wanted a permission.
"Go on."
"Well, what if master was hybrid between harpy from mana race and human but for some reason they teared of master's wings when master was just a baby. Harpies are beautiful beings, master too is beautiful." Aria said and lowered her head with embarrassment because of the absurd theory.
It was too absurd that if i have my emotions, i would laugh for minumum a hour.
"Why do you think this scars are from wing wounds?"
"Because i read a novel about wingless harpy." Aria said quietly and looked at down.
"Are you still reading strange novels?" I asked and looked at her without blinking.
"Yes master." Aria said quietly.
"Well, as long as you do your job diligently, you can read them but don't fill your head with strange novels and tentacles." I said seriously.
"Thank you for your understanding master." Aria said.
"Come here." I gestured her.
Aria came to my side and i handed her telepathy earring.
Aria took them like sacred item and looked at me with moist eyes. Though her face was blank like always.
"Is this for me master?" Aria said with little bit joy in her voice.
I just gave her a earring and she became emotional. She too must be broken somewhere inside.
'There is no normal person around of me. Am i magnet for strange people?'
"It is just earring don't get emotional because of it. It is linked to my earrings, so you can speak to me directly if it's urgent." I said.
When my sentences ended Aria jumped to me for hug.
"I can't help it but getting emotional. Master himself made this pretty earring for me." Aria said kissed my cheek. Afterwards she apologized and rushed to her room.
'Why did she even kiss me in cheek and ran away? She isn't just child that embarrasses for kiss on cheek. Although i don't remember her exact age, she is in her early twenties.'
After some thoughts about Aria's strange actions, i started to think about Aria's theory.
Being a half harpy sounded absurd and it was close to impossible but i didn't ruled them out just added more races with wings.
I thought that teared out wings theory was quite possible but being half harpy was close to impossible. Though there are many humanoid beings with wings, harpies aren't only ones.
There are humanoid dragons, some special elves, fairies, angels, fallen angels and many more. And all if them are beautiful beings with good potential. But if ruled out some of them with facts, the rest would be fairies, angels and fallen angels.
Fairies are looking like completely humans with just wing and power to change their body size. So status lenses maybe showed some wrong information. It is possible. It is just [S] rank artifact not some godly artifact that changes the world.
Angels are just servants of the gods or devils and they can't be called a actual race. There are elf angels or human angels.
That is why i thought that maybe Original Kayle was a angel or fallen angel of a divine being but this divine being for some reason teared of Kayle's wings, erased his memories and casted out him to mortal realm.
Although this theory was absurd, this world itself is absurd. Thus i didn't ruled this theory form my mind and thought this about more.
After some time later i stop thinking and prepared myself and went to my magic practice lecture. It was time to act.
