"I want to fight" Said Hilbert resolutely
"Nice reply and resolution. However, I don't offer charity to make you strong. I need you to become my loyal servant who never betrays me." As I took out my blood and soul contract.
I give him a warning, "Think carefully before you sign this contract. Since it will bind your freedom forever for power. However, if you want to ever feel hopeless against such a strong opponent you can just shrug it off this contract and forget about it."
He thought for a while and looked at me. "How do I sign this contract?" he asked while glaring with his resolute eye.
"Just sign your name with blood in there. But, Are you sure? I may have asked you to many horrible things like killing, raping, robbing and other things that will not according to your principle."
"I can even make you kill your own parents" I told him the truth about the contract and told him the worst scenario that will happen.
"Kill… My.. My parents…" he is getting more restless and can't decide. However, He don't want to feel hopeless like before again. After a lot of thought, he bites his finger and signs his name with his.
"I will take this gamble and trust you from now on." As soon as he signs his name, he feels some chilly wind enter and bind his whole being.
"Good, for the first big task I want you to kill the most loving person you love." I ordered him expressionlessly while he slump on the ground looking so hopeless.
"What… no I can't kill my parents NO…" he struggles a lot since his contract is already working to make him want to kill his most loving person which is his parents.
"If you don't want to kill the person you love. Try to beat me first." I give him some hope as he is going a little bit crazy because of his contradictory feelings.
After hearing my response, he glares at me and wants to beat me up. But, before he can do anything, I bombard him with a huge killing intent. His face is getting paler and can't even breath.
Few minutes later, "If you can survive this night, I will not kill your loved one. However, if you can't, just say goodbye to them." I leave him while bombarding him with more killing intent before I go back to my room.
Over the years my killing aura is still the same and even grew after killing few spies in the academy. Normal person will go crazy and want to suicide themselves after feeling a little bit of my true killing aura.
Then, I told Moru to bring him to his room since now he is in a state of cannot move. Because every time he gets conscious, he will remember my killing intent and go back to half conscious state along with a crazy state.
The reason I torture him like this is because this is one of great way to improve his strength and mentality. However, there is also chance he will die or suicide from the burden of my killing intent. But, I don't need a servant that can't even withstand my killing intent.
I need to make him feel despair and at the lowest point of his life. If he can pass this experience he can always move forward in all conditions.
Because he has been through the lowest point and came back from there. No matter how many times he falls, He will be able to rise up again. Moreover, He is still a kid who doesn't have a very strong belief and personality which I can reshape him into my liking.
After that, I go back to my room, I go to my time dimension and try to comprehend the ancient language book.
Occasionally, I will also try to fuse three mana stones at once which ends with another failure. I need sort of epiphany or lady luck to succeed in making fusion of these three mana stones.
Of course, I also get progress during every failure and very close to success in the fusion of mana stones. If I have AI that Greed made on earth, I could just do a simulation and it will be done in a few minutes with a huge probability of percentage.
However, this Ai system knowledge is also stored in Greed's forbidden memory as it is one of the most advanced AI. It can make the world go into chaos like in the movie Terminator, I-robot, or another post-apocalypse robotic movie.
Greed created this AI to become very powerful and intelligent. But, He also made this AI become our loyal servant since every move that this AI made was already predicted by him 100 times in future.
Greed also makes this AI to have emotion and like human beings, So, we can also 'educate' this AI and shape it into our most loyal servant.
Remembering it makes me think just what happens to this AI when we kill ourselves. It is because this AI is always everywhere when we call it. I just hope it didn't do anything stupid since it quite attached to us.
By the time I go out from the time dimension, it is already in the morning. Eve is still sleeping peacefully in my bed. I give her a deep wake up kiss.
"Good morning, my cutie Eve." I greet her.
"Huamm… Morning Sep, eh.. how is your body? Are you alright?" She response with worry tone?
"It's okay now, I just got side effects of mageforce deficiency. Why don't you take a bath first? I need to do my routine exercise." I patted her head.
"Huft.. Just don't push yourself then… Muach.." as she gives me a peck in my lips then go to the bathroom.
During these seven years, Eve and I already like husband and wife except we still don't do any intercourse despite our clingy behaviour.
Fortunately, we only have intimate acts in our dorm. So, there are no rumors about us having a relationship. If not there will be another trouble when the rumor comes out. Of course, I don't fear such trouble but it was not time for me to reveal my true strength yet.
Then, I worked out and did my training program. Since I can't use any necessary equipment or supplement. I change it with mageforce in some part of the training set.
It works at first, but it is also twice exhausting. I need to concentrate on controlling my mageforce and do the training set. Still, this is more useful and gives more progress than my usual training.
After a few sets of training, I stop and look at my door room. "It seems you survived yesterday night. You can come in Hilbert" as I say toward the door
Not long after that, the door opened and revealed Hilbert still in his pale and panda eye from not sleeping the entire night. He wants to say something to me. But, before he says anything I bombard him with another killing intent and make slump down into the floor.
"Why did you come here, Hilbert? If you do not come in I may kill your most loving person now. Next time we meet I hope you can come in not slump down like a doll with string." I keep bombard him with killing intent
After a while, he collapses from my killing intent, "Moru bring him to his room again." I ordered Moru.
Not long after that, Eve came out of the bathroom already in her uniform. She asked who is the one that just came in and I told her about Hilbert.
Of course, I did not tell her that I torture him right now. I just tell her that Hilbert needs my help to become stronger which also does not lie.
Princes of light like Eve can tell someone when they are lying or not. They are also very good at judging people.
That's why we Septem still in a dilemma as to why princesses of light in our past life help us the vilest and damned person. Anyway she seems unable to see the entire truth as long as I really don't completely lie to her.
After that she goes out of the dorm and goes towards the facilities. We kiss passionately with each other before we separate.
Later, I took a bath and had my breakfast. I go out to the main area which is now in preparation of competition. I don't really care about the preparation and the event, however there is a small market that is built for students to sell the product of their facilities.
This market event is always held once every month. They choose a week before the competition to make more profit. I plan to meet with Ben in the market for tools that I request from him. I also plan to look at the products that he sells in the market.
All these past years, I helped Ben occasionally by making a few production runes for his product.
Since we partner up, I also get a lot of profit from it. The last month's market almost netted us 500 white gold coins. Ben is really a genius. He created a lesser version of re-equip armor using the electricity stone that I provided.
Re-equip armor is high class enchantment equipment that could only be created by level 5 enchanter. Using this enchantment, people wear their battle suit instantly or revert back to their normal clothes.
It is very useful against sneak attack or sudden battle. This enchantment is very expensive and hard to do. Usually only granted as a gift to a person that reaches level 5 in their path.
The lesser version that Ben made is only made in accessories like the other enchantment. However, it can only do it with one equipment unlike the real one which can cover the entire suit/armor.
It also doesn't use mageforce but electric current so all people need is to tap the accessories to activate it first.
Still this is a popular product since it was less expensive and had a lot of use compared to the Re-Equip product. At first we thought that only the commoner will buy this product.
However, after our first sale, the noble also purchased in bulk for their bodyguard or employee. Some aristocrats even try to purchase in bulk to supply their own private soldier.
We split our profit in 40:60 ratios which I get 40 percent since I only supply him with the mana stone while he designs the whole product.
Of course, After I created a perfect production rune, he thanked me more and wanted to give me more of his shares. I decline as I still need him to supply himself when he researches and build my tools.
After slipping up from the lousy guard that annoying brats place to secure my dorm perimeter, I arrive at the market without any interference.
The market is already very crowded, especially Ben's booth which is packed with people. I guess his new product is also popular among the students. I decided to meet Ben later when he was done selling his product.
