Chereads / Journey into the Dark Universe / Chapter 44 - Sebastian

Chapter 44 - Sebastian

Mady came to the door of a house and knocked on the door. After a minute or two, a man with long gray hair opened the door. The man was a bit stern, but there was no sign of any emotion on his face. The man was almost one-foot taller than Mady. He was almost two meters.

When the man saw two young, energetic and beautiful women in front of him, he did not observe their body. This situation made Mady very curious. After all, she thought she was interesting and the best at attracting men. The man had a very well-built physique, even with gray hair. He had such a beautiful figure to be a complete male model. He had neither very big muscles nor a fat body. Everything seemed perfect.

The man asked Mady and Piper in a low voice between his thin lips "Why did you come?"

Mady spoke directly to what she had in mind without further ado "I decided to be an archer. So, I asked and inquired, the only archer in town was someone named Sebastian. I got the information from the governor. If you are Sebastian, could you sell me your archery weapon-force energy conversion method?"

The man nonchalantly replied to Mady "You want to be an archer or her? Or both of you?"

When Mady said she was just herself, the man nodded "I have to test you. If you pass the test, I'll teach you."

Mady and Piper entered the house. They followed the man and crossed a long straight corridor inside the house. They came out through the door to the backyard. There was a really large garden behind the house. In front of the door was a slightly flat earthen ground. The man took Mady in the middle of the dirt flattened ground and pointed to a fixed target fifty meters away. "Hit the target"

Mady stretched her bow and hit the target with her energy arrow. She hit the target exactly at 12. A toy bird appeared in the man's hand. When he sent some energy to the bird, the bird took off and when it passed 50 meters the man gave the command "Shoot". Mady took aim again but missed the target. Mady shot in her 4th shot.

A different globe appeared in the man's hand. The man handed the globe to Mady. When Mady grabbed the sphere, 2 yellow and 3 green lines appeared on the sphere after a few seconds. The man said, holding his chin. "Hmm, you're under 50. You still have potential. But I must say that you have worked truly little. You just can't handle the bow. But your control is successful. With a little training, you can become something."

The man spoke as he was looking towards Mady the first time after thinking for a minute or two "I will make you work for three hours every day, from 15 to 18 o'clock. My hourly wage is one mana crystal. I will also only train for two weeks. Therefore, from 14 days it makes 42 mana crystals. I'll sell you half of the method for 20 mana crystals. If you can get as far as I expected at the end of 14 days, I will have a few surprises for you. But if you don't deserve it, everything will be left with the trade between us, I will sell the other half of the method for 1000 mana crystals."

Mady, with Piper's permission, paid 62 mana crystals and received the booklet on which half of the method was written.

Mady gave Piper a sad look as they turned on the road. "Sorry. I spent most of what we earned on an incomplete method."

Piper shrugged. "Never mind. It only took one day. It also became a comfortable hunt thanks to your arrows. If you open a few acupoints, only the two of us can go hunting. Don't worry too much."

"I will always try to repay what you have done. I'll even help you make friends with Harper and others. They know you wrong."

"Ahh never mind them. I have other plans."

"Like what?"

"I'll make my dad an agent."

"Ohh your father? This is an interesting idea. Don't you think your father's age is too late for these jobs?"

"Hahaha. Actually, I thought so. Until Sebastian tests you today."

"Why? Is Sebastian older than your father? Because of that?"

"No. Didn't you hear that you were under fifty years old? I still had potential. So, my father also has potential. He is only 47 years old. I am sure that thanks to the system, he will become even more advanced than Sebastian in a few years."

"Hmm, that makes perfect sense. Actually, I also want to make my brother an agent, but things are too risky for me. "

"Why is that?"

"I ... I was with the Lord when the Lord placed you the medallion."

Piper's mouth remained wide open. "This- What does that mean?"

Mady shook her head with a painful smile. "I met the Lord on the way. It was a huge coincidence. Maybe it was a chance that I would not see in 1000 years. Not knowing that he was a lord, I said I wanted to follow him at that moment. He said it wouldn't matter to him. Then things happened very differently. At the end of the job, there is an agent named Marcus from our world..."

"Yes, I know Marcus. That guy who introduced us to the system."

"Hmmm. Marcus had achieved something to please the Lord. So, Lord decided to give 8 medals instead of just one. And at that moment he said to me 'If I gave seven medals, you wouldn't be among them. This is your chance.' That was when the medallion appeared on my chest. The Lord have tens of thousands of servants. Each of them have the right to steal our medallions. He just got me under cover. Because when I got the medallion, there were 3 servants in the room. He told them that he arranged my locket in a way that no one from the earth could capture. So, I am the most protected person in the world. But they know where I got on the coin. They know that I have only one brother from my family. Therefore, it is almost impossible for me to give medals to my brother. I'm very unhappy about this."

Piper continued walking, thoughtfully, without a word. The two returned to the hotel. They decided to have a meal at the hotel for the first time at Piper's suggestion. When Piper looked at the menu, her mouth fell open. The prices of food made with mana energy meats were very expensive. Mady smiled and offered Piper to taste these expensive dishes after the training, with a little hunting and gain. After eating their normal meals with some jokes, they returned to their rooms. The two continued to open their acupoints.

Mady borrowed a pill from Piper and opened the 15th acupuncture point by noon the next day. Although Mady's body did not use the bodybuilding potion like Piper, it improved quite a bit in those three weeks. *(1)*

Mady went to Sebastian's house alone after dinner. Sebastian was holding an ordinary bow in his hand. He told Mady to hold the bow in his hand. Mady tried to pull the bow and realized that it was too tight. 'Huh, young looking old man! So, you want to test my strength.'

Mady took the archer stance with her strong body and stretched the bow by tightening her arm muscles. She took one of the arrows on the ground with her other hand and fired. The man looked with interest at Mady's strong arm muscles.

'Interesting! How can you have such well developed muscles. This is an ideal demand.' He thought. Sebastian started to teach Mady in great detail. Mady opened the 17th acupuncture point a week later. She felt that she could control herself much better after 4 weeks of working with the mind method. *(2)**(3)*

When Mady looked at the clock, it was around 7 in the morning. "Piper, there are 4 weeks left. Let's go to the farm fields and hunt pigeons today. If you put their bodies on your ring, we can hunt dozens. Then we eat food made from the meat of animals with mana. Maybe our body gets stronger by eating these energic-meats. As if the effects of the method you bought disappeared. It has no effect."

Piper opened the 47th acupuncture point with the effect of drugs and potions. They decided it would be good to go out a little bit. *(4)*

*(1)* [Mady's physical strength was 1.7, her power increased by 0.5 points when she opened 5 aqua points (as the value of improvement without method, then the limit of the method will increase to 1.0 points if 81, 1.25 points if 90, and 1.5 points if 99. She gained 0.3 points with the technique she learned from Piper. While opening the next 10 acupoints, she expanded and developed the previous 5 points according to the method and the physical strength increase was 3.75 instead of 0.5. In total, her physical power reached 5.75. Piper's bodybuilding method no longer has an effect.]

*(2)* [Mady Physical Power: 6.25 Agility: 6.25 Intelligence: 2.9]

*(3)* [Mady had reached 1.5 intelligence points in the first mission. When the gathering-energy first level was reached, she had 2.5 intelligence points. She reached 2.9 points with the mind enhancement method in 4 weeks.]

*(4)* [Piper Physical Strength: 14.75 Agility: 14.75 Intelligence: 2.7]
