As I talked to the guild master Leila, I finally let out the reason of why I was here today, the way that I was thinking about earning some money.
"I lived among monsters for maybe 4 to 5 years and in that time, I had collected many valuable monster materials. I didn't really know at the time how valuable they were but you could say it was a hobby. Then, when I started to travel with Grandmother, I started to collect the whole monsters in her storage, but in a year that also filled her storage up, as that happened, She said she would only keep the valuable monsters in the storage. after I arrived in the country, We had a storage full of monsters. she had said ``I should only sell these monsters to you. It would be easier for some reason I don't know." As I explained as plainly as possible, I finally heaved a sigh and looked at Leila to get her answers.
"Soo…. cough you mean to say that there is storage... especially my masters storage is full..!!! Of of the monsters which umm she deemed as valuable…..?!" For some reason her cool air was partly gone. Her expression turned into a panicked one. She could hide it really well but my perceptiveness won, so I could see past her façade. Also I was focusing hard to not get distracted since she was beautiful. My carelessness might make me look like a country bumpkin. Not to mention, I don't want her to see my face forming a lust filled expression. Even if I desire her, there is no reason for me to show that to her, it will be really uncouth, as such I was able to form a serene expression in front of Leila. I know that many men might have made rather vulgar gazes at her… I don't want to be among them. A girl you like certainly deserves at least that much respect from you.
"Umm yes, I also dismantled many of the monsters when I was resting, so there wasn't much stuff to throw out. On the other hand, the Treants need to be dealt with. We just shoved those in storage as I killed them."
"Okay…. Then master Melinda needs to come here too then, where is she…?" As Leila said, I think she wanted to meet granny rather than encounter me now.
"Ummm no, I have the monsters now, well I learnt the storage spell some time ago, so that's when I took them, I didn't really want to bother grandmother too much you know? Also, who really wants to run around with monster carcasses? Even I felt a little silly, what can I say, I had nothing to do." I acted a little silly but Leila just sat there thinking like she had been dumped in an information vault.
"Hmm you can use storage magic… of course you can.. well then… let's see come, we will go to the courtyard." As she gestured, we followed her to the courtyard. It was big and I mean huge, there was so much space, I think I could dump all the monsters at once.
"Okay then Rekka, can you bring out the monsters" said Leila
"Alright ..Storage" Now something even more shocking happened that just threw Leila off even more. When She saw my storage spell she fell over and lost her consciousness.
"Wah?!"
OOps I forgot. My storage magics, not normal, magicians who are serious about magic will become too stimulated seeing it. god... Granny I should have noted it. Man, she even warned me about it...
"Ooh noo I forgot hmmm …. Let me try something."
"What are you gonna try Mr. Wolford?" Pamela said from the side while I was holding Miss Leila.
"I'll try to wake her up or she won't even wake up in 2 or 3 hours. It seems she has been covering her feelings for some reason, and her exhaustion is clearly building up, she really should have a full night's rest. And Pamela, why are you calling me Mr. Wolford? I thought we had become friends, did something change sometime ago?" Leila here was quite stiff and restless, it seemed my spell was the only thing left that hit her hard enough to cause this black out.
"You tell me !! I thought you were a promising newbie. You looked good too. In a few years you might become my face of the adventurers I managed, I was going to take you under my wing. even my reputation was going to soar through the sky but you turned out to be the hero's grandson and I didn't even see it until you pointed it out, how pathetic I was?!!" She started to vent out and at the end started to sob pathetically… I was really thrown off by my game. I really thought she was a professional at her job but all that was only an act huh?
So that's why she became so stiff. But I see that she even told me of her selfish plans, is she an idiot? She probably thought I was ridiculing her now but I found it quite amusing, her easygoing attitude. Even now she seemed to forget she was complaining to me in her friendly way, well I should clear this out.
"Come, it was my mistake, you introduced yourself but I just gave you my vague Identity so forgive me okay and be my friend again. Is that all right?" As I said to clear out our misunderstanding, she seemed to get back to herself and her lost smile came back to her face. Leila also woke up at that time.
I had manipulated her spirit a little, it could wake someone who was receptive to magic and Her exhaustion was also taken care of by my spirit energy flowing into her. Although now I realized that I could also have sprinkled some water on her… well, what's done is done.
My hands were at her cheeks. It was the most effectible place but seeing my hands on her face, she turned beet red. Her cool air from the first time I saw her was gone like it had been a dream.
"Pardon my rudeness for touching you Guild Master but I had to…"
"I know what you did… You manipulated my mana...." She said, completing my sentence. it was her innate spirit energy, but why not just say mana?
"Yes I think I did that or you wouldn't have been up for hours." I replied while standing up.
"How..?" as Leila sat on the ground unable to even get up, I gave her a hand to help her get up.
"Hmm..? How what?" I repeated as she meekly got up looking red as a tomato.
"How can you manipulate the mana in my body?" She asked this time looking at me. Her eyes were like ones that were defying reality..
Did I make her magic obsessed mind tingle? That's not good, eccentric magic investigators would eat all your time talking about those things.
"I can just do that, I learned somehow when I was at the edge of the world. More importantly Guild master, can I start getting the monsters out?" I tried to gloss over the subject.
She nodded remembering herself and I let out all the things I had in my storage to the courtyard. it got filled to the brim from small to big monster parts and many big monsters, in whole it looked like a graveyard from hell.
"Rekka, I think you just surpassed your Grandparents in leaps and bounds. The whole human race couldn't kill this many monsters even in a year. I can assure you that, but I believe you have killed every single one of them?" Leila asked in a casual way.
"Hmm yeah, I did kill every one of them but how did you know? I thought nobody would believe me, Even Grandmother said she didn't believe me even while seeing this."
"I know how your grandparents fight, and they kill monsters thinking about killing them but you killed them while thinking how they could be useful. It's an adventurer's intuition. I think you have developed this naturally and it's unbelievable ...." She again sat on the ground as if being overwhelmed.
That's how the same day I earned respect from everyone. I also started to bring the human race's economy to a stand still. From here my pockets would only grow and grow. But I only wanted a bit of a boost you know?
.....
"So then what do you think?" I asked Leila, she was looking at all the materials. Some were dissected, some were still in full pieces like it had just been killed and a big portion of the monsters were treants. Leila had been going around the courtyard while looking at all these items for the past hour.
"I haven't seen this many monsters in all my life!!" exclaimed Pamela with a bewildered look.
"What can I think? Can you tell me?" Leila asked me back, her cool air was already gone, it seemed she was done with putting up a facade. I think with my imagination I could see smoke rising off her head from overthinking. She looked cute this way too but I still felt like holding myself back around her. why do I feel like I want her to know everything about me? even just talking to her like this made me feel good.
Honestly, me being this much affected just by standing and talking to her is kind of intimidating. The mansion is also full of beautiful girls, but Leila had a completely different effect than that. As if that mansion full of maids were much easier to talk to then to face Leila.
"How do I know? I mean I just lived in a house yesterday for the first time, You should know what happens now with all this." I answered as if brushing off the subject, at this point even I could tell that I had gone overboard. More than that, for some reason making Leila troubled over me is kind of tickling my heartstrings.
"Okay I have an Idea, there are many varieties of monsters here, some are dissected but some aren't, so we will have to dissect them first. Also I don't think a normal dissector can even scratch them. We will need stronger people too, Oh my god I don't know! I think I'll lose it?!" She was getting light headed again while going around the yard looking at the huge pile, stuttering here and there.
"Wait, that's not a problem, I can do it, yeah you just think what we will do afterwards." I said to her reassuringly. Enough messing with her, I needed to handle this mess too, just because granny told her to handle this doesn't mean I can't help her.
"What are you blind? Can you not see how many there are? Even those treants you have killed are hard as rocks and we have to make proper pieces out of them all. The monsters here are also A-rank grade and that big thing that's a sage treant. How did you even kill it? My… the whole body is unharmed, my god!! after selling all this you could probably buy a country!!!!!!" She had started her chatter again so I stood up and headed to the monster piles. It was time to show them what Rekka could do. Action was 10 times more effective than words.
"Just watch." saying so I put everything in my storage then I brought out the dissected materials and piled them in one place as I started.
System, when I say, bring one whole monster out of the storage, and after I finish dissecting it repeat the process until all the storage is empty and let out the same type of monsters in one serial okay?
{Command accepted starting procedure}
Spirit body enhancement starts at 20%. Stamina recovery starts every 1 hour.
{Command accepted starting procedure}
Ahh now let's do it Amanori !
[hmm hu hu huhmm hm hm hm!] For Some reason she was humming some tunes, as long as she's happy. The reason Amanori was happy was since she could harvest the miasma that these monsters were hiding. I didn't know at the time, but Miasma was something akin to food for Amanori and it put her at ease if she had a good supply of it at hand.
I started dissecting and dismantling monsters at speeds that could barely be possible. I had my way of doing things, with a good mind and proper way, any impossible task can be done as easily as eating pie.
...…
Rekka was dismantling the Monster corpses at superhuman speeds. Leila the Guild master, Systy who had recovered from her earlier experience and had seen a glimpse of Rekka's wild side. As per Melinda had mentioned in their former meeting, she had said that the wild side doesn't get out that easily but when it gets out something would definitely happen, And that was the case.
He had subjugated 26 men who were all the strongest Rank-C adventurers in town and also that guy who was harassing her and the whole town had been so thoroughly dealt with that it still couldn't be believed. That man was also strong enough to give Systy a run for her money. That scum had always a trump card up his sleeve but Rekka had incapacitated his whole gang of scum like they had presented themselves in a silver plater.
And then there was Pamela. She was a simple minded person so she was seeing Rekka's work with sparkling eyes and thinking that her day wasn't going that bad. She thought 'I mean I just made friends with the hero's grandson. How cool is that?!' also in her mind she felt that her future was safe now. For all she knew hanging around him might make her famous enough to live off any danger.
So as the three were looking at what was going on with different thoughts, time went on. even night fell at some point. Seeing Rekka still not stop, Leila used magic to light up the courtyard that had already been surrounded by barriers and such.
"Doesn't he get tired? I mean I just had a nap too." Said Pamela, she also had prepared snacks to eat while seeing the awesome display of the work Rekka was doing.
Leila was watching in wonder. Rekka's speed has not decreased in the slightest, when she looked with magic increasing her senses, she saw that Rekka had already closed his eyes. The famous cursed blade was being swung left and right so fast, it couldn't even be seen. Also 10 more black hands that were shaped like daggers at the end were swinging all over the place.
First a monster's body was brought out of storage, then it looked as if every part was separating on its own. how the hell did he pierce and slice those monsters that were naturally resistant to mana and were hard as rock to any physical impact?
"Such Elegant movement of the body, not a single wasted move with such speed it's just unreal."
That's the main reason Rekka could be considered strong. Many people were still faster or stronger than him but very few had this type of balance in their capabilities. Also his movements were not amateurish; they were perfected to meet all the requirements. As if those moves were created specifically for him. Even if Rekke was young now, in his young life he had battled more than many of the veterans at this point, his movement would never be amateurish at this point, rather it was the sight of a master carving out a path only he could.
"What if he becomes stronger and faster with this much precision, he could probably even Rival the other races' supreme beings…. No no, I shouldn't think about those now, he is still a kid let him grow up a little then I'll see." As she thought and observed Rekka, it felt like he was dancing among his targets, It mesmerized Leila to the core.
Someone so strong and calculative but when she first saw Rekka, she thought he was just naïve and soft hearted, that face that had no hint of dread or curse in it. Who would know that this was the new cursed sword wielder? The chaos at the guild was also handled with most efficiency. The way he looked and did things had nothing common at all. The chaos that he suppressed was covered by a face that was as peaceful as one without any ripple.
Morning was nearly at hand but even before that, the Dismantling was done. all the stuff was organized in a way that looked like many professionals had put it together.
In actuality, Rekka had just put all the things in storage and then brought them out in a sorted way. With the system's help, it could really be done as easily as eating a pie.
"Yo You guys..? I do the work and I see you guys are sleeping?" Rekka voiced the 3 sleeping ladies. Strangely enough, Pamela was the only one to get up first looking as if she had a full night's rest.
"Ooh! Rekka you done already?! And wow look at them, it's like a market has been made here."
Pamela's Energetic voice woke up the 2 remaining ladies and they watched and marveled at the sight too.
.....
"Hmm alright then I have already calculated all the stuff, first …." Leila seemed to have prepared what she would do first so she started to explain to Rekka. After waking up to see this sight, she had avoided the display and started talking to Rekka before her mind could get over heated again.
In the end Rekka gave 20% of the products to Leila and kept the 80%. Every week he would come to the guild and take his pay and Leila would distribute the stuff to all the sources she could. She had already sent big business farms the news that raw materials of top quality would be found for at least 6 weeks while Rekka was dissecting.
Rekka had kept aside some rare monsters like the rare treants and the sage treant and some monsters with special characteristics for his own future purposes.
"Okay now Rekka, the Estimate that I had given you, it really could become true here, by doing all the grunt work you have saved at least 70% of your expenses, so I can say that you will have a big amount in your hand okay? think before expanding it."
Leila was giving Rekka financial advice. She had forgotten Rekka had been working all night long, but Rekka still tried hard to resist his sleep, in time he gave in and was drowned in his unbreakable deep sleep. Leila's sweet voice couldn't help the case as he drifted off to sleep from hearing the lecture of the first girl ever to be able to move his heart to this extent.
"Master the Kids tired, I think he already fell asleep." whispered Pamela because Leila was still going on with her financial advice, when she realized what she had done, she sighed that a kid had made her lose her cool and made her feel inferior. She could have advised him later but she was excited, she could at least overpower his knowledge and the result was this. Maybe he really did give her a inferiority complex.
Moreover, as he grows up, he should get even more refined, not to mention quite handsome too… Leila prayed that at least Rekka shouldn't turn into those barbaric men that made troubles for her.
"Alright then, I'll take Rekka to the mansion. I believe Master Merlin and Mistress Melinda will come in a few days from the capital so Miss Leila visit us if you can. you haven't seen Mistress in a long time right?" Although Leila saw that Systy was acting a bit weird, she didn't voice that.
"Yes it has been 3 years maybe, or maybe longer, I'll visit sometime. Systy, I hope you will continue adventuring again." Hearing that from Leila, Systy looked at Rekka at her back.
A small smile appeared on her lips and she said "Maybe I will.."
