CHAPTER 52 - Second Special Test. Part 2.
(Pov- Saik.)
Ready... First chapter published. Now to wait for the hearts.
I'm quite satisfied with the final result. Surely everyone will hate the protagonist's wife and, unlike the NTR stories on the internet, the protagonist will take revenge and won't accept his wife sleeping with another man.
I did my research on this topic to reflect very realistically the pain a person feels when betrayed by the one they loved, but the results were very disgusting and disappointing. In most stories, the protagonist never finds out that his girlfriend or wife is cheating on him; they even hide the fact that the baby the woman had is from another man, so the protagonist thinks it's his child. And when the protagonist finds out about the infidelity, he doesn't get angry, he gets excited. Does that make any sense? Absolutely not. Even number 31 told me they only do that to excite readers, but in real life, only idiots and losers would forgive infidelity.
What kind of person forgives infidelity and even asks to watch another man have sex with his wife? It's not only pathetic and disgusting, it's deeply pitiful.
Personally, if that happened to me, if my girlfriend cheated on me with another man, I might end up killing them both, not before using my most disgusting legendary ghosts to publicly rape the man who stole my girlfriend.
Ah, that reminds me of the few stories where the protagonist does take revenge on his partner.
The realistic approach would be to leave that woman and move on with your life. The less realistic but more satisfying approach would be to expose the woman by posting videos of her infidelity, branding her as an easy girl. That's not realistic since it would be committing a crime. Posting intimate videos of someone else is illegal, which brings me to the next unrealistic but equally satisfying revenge. If the protagonist is handsome, he can use his looks to win the hearts of the mother or sister of the man who slept with his woman, or even the mother or sister of his own woman. But if the protagonist is small or ugly, the only option is to end that relationship and move on with his life.
NTR stories gave me a lot of pity and confusion. In many scenes, it was more than obvious that the woman was cheating on her boyfriend or husband, but he didn't realize it. It's ridiculous.
I collected stories with protagonists who took revenge to compile how they did it and replicate it. I suggested to number 31 that, since the protagonist is a man who will be faithful to his new love, they add a new character, a handsome man, to win the hearts of the important people in the hero's wives' lives and form his own harem with the hero's wives' relatives, even being able to win the hearts of some of the hero's wives and have sex with them while the hero is busy training.
Number 31 liked the idea and added a character who is like the protagonist's son, created with his own blood, something like a homunculus, and made him a perfect man, capable of winning any heart.
This story is full of NTR scenes but only with the secondary characters. The main story only narrates how a Demon King and his servant fall in love. No NTR. Number 31 hates NTR; honestly, I don't care, it just gives me secondhand embarrassment. Besides, I'm not at risk of being cheated on. If I get a girlfriend, I can use one of my legendary ghosts to detect when my girlfriend kisses or has sex with another man. If that happens, I will kill the man and end my relationship with my girlfriend.
But personally, I think I will never be cheated on. Why? Because I'm in love with Naima, a girl who is hardly susceptible to blackmail. I can protect her from blackmail. And if they try to rape her, I can save her too. The only way she could cheat on me is if she falls in love with another man. If that happens, I'll have to let her go. After all, it's her life, it's her decision.
Ah, I think about that when we're not even friends yet. If Naima has sex with another man or gets a boyfriend, I have no right to complain since we're not even friends right now. That's why I have to work hard to win her heart. I would really like to go on dates with her and experience the famous "teenage love." Walking to school together, eating together, going to the movies or out to eat, blah, blah, blah. Things that would bore me to do with anyone else, but if it's with Naima, I'd gladly do them.
And while I was lost in my thoughts, the president was reading the chapter I drew.
"Wow, wow. I'm surprised at how fast you draw, Saik."
"Once you master anatomy and your own style, drawing is easy."
I understand that on this social network, it's allowed to upload pornographic content, so I didn't censor the infidelity scenes of the wife. Number 31 designed the hero to be a classic isekai protagonist: shy, a bit cowardly, and handsome. I understand the last part isn't so classic, but he added it to make the protagonist feel very inferior to the hero, increasing his hatred.
Number 31 took more than enough time to develop the romance between the protagonist and his servant. Five volumes of development and in the sixth volume, the protagonist confesses. A sweet love confession when he rescues her. She became powerful thanks to the protagonist, who, due to some events that occurred, decided to train her so she could protect herself and avoid her death. She confronted the hero, as he was about to kill the protagonist, who was on the brink of death. She was about to die, which increased the hatred the protagonist felt towards the hero, and thanks to the hatred increasing his power, he became ultra-mega-powerful and saved his beloved. He told her he loved her and didn't want to lose her. She also told him she loved him, and they kissed passionately. The protagonist gave her some of his power, and together they defeated the hero, who was condemned to be raped and tortured for all eternity in hell, along with his 10 wives, 7 daughters, and 3 sons, while the protagonist started his new life with his beloved wife.
It ends with the birth of their baby, while the world was ruled by the protagonist's good friend, the Demon King.
A fatal end for humans, a good end for the protagonist.
"Mmm... Wow... This hero has a pretty sad past, huh? Is he supposed to be the villain? Considering he didn't know she was married, I can't hate him."
"The villain is supposed to be the protagonist himself, I'm not trying to make the hero the villain."
A pompous and annoying hero seemed too predictable to number 31, so she made the hero a truly kind and gentle person.
"The drawing is quite good, I admit. I hated the protagonist's wife a lot. I'm looking forward to the next chapter."
"Fufu! And what the wife does next is even worse! Hahahahahaha!" said Number 31, who emerged from me.
She's referring to when the wife sleeps with a king to get the support the hero needed, but he never found out, and she keeps sleeping with the king because he gets her expensive and rare items. In short, she's a character who only cares about money and power, which is why she left her poor husband without hesitation.
"Thanks, but I won't be able to update because I'll be on the island. You can read the novel, but I don't know if you'll be able to use your smartphone wherever you'll be."
"There's a novel? Give me the link."
Number 31 wrote the novel on paper, but she digitized it in one night when I decided to draw it.
Ah, I hope to start receiving money for this soon. I suspect my expenses will increase in the future; I need money.
I paid for school in advance for these three years, but I haven't considered extra expenses, like school trips. I was saved this time, but I don't know if the other trips will be free.
"Mmm... Hey, Saik. What do your followers mean when they say to upload another shirtless photo of you? Did you already upload one?"
"Yes, but I regretted it, so I deleted it."
"I see. That's a shame, the photo you have with Sylphie is very cute. You're quite handsome when you style your hair."
"My heart belongs to video games and food, don't fall in love with me."
"I'm forbidden to fall in love with anyone, so you're not at risk, don't worry."
Wow... I sense this is some arranged marriage. It's very common among wealthy families. I know from my own experience.
The man who marries her will be very lucky. It's not hard for me to admit how amazing the president is, both as a student and as a person in general. Personally, if I hadn't been interested in Naima, I would have fallen in love with the president. The president is much better than Naima in many aspects, but I still prefer Naima. Love is so weird, huh? No wonder my parents were so lovey-dovey and lustful. I had to kill the disgusting perverted ghosts that entered the house at night to watch my parents having sex.
With all the disgust in the world, I kept watch at the door to kill them and prevent them from seeing my parents. I couldn't hear them because I disabled my own hearing, but knowing they were having sex made me quite uncomfortable.
Ah, I changed the subject. Imagining myself being lovey-dovey with Naima makes my heart race and makes me a little nervous. Is love changing me? This is the first time this has happened to me. I don't hate this feeling; on the contrary, I like it quite a bit.
Naima, could you ever fall in love with someone like me?
"Saik, want to play cards?" said Sylphie, who is behind me.
Ah, a card game... How do you play?
I looked into Number 31's eyes, who was watching the president.
"You don't know how to play cards? I'll teach you, darling!"
And as always, she knows my intentions just by looking into my eyes.
I kneeled on the seat to play with Sylphie.
She was sitting in front of me, looking at me. She tries to look away, but forces herself not to.
"D-do you want to start?" She said, offering me the deck.
"I'll play too." said the president.
I began to feel the stares of the students on the bus. Yes, I know what they're thinking. Why is the president playing with simple first-year students? Considering the stories I've heard, all the students who dared to challenge her have already been expelled or have surrendered and are now the president's minions.
I am the only student currently who has become a challenge for her. She gets close to me to analyze me, and to do that, she needs to know my way of thinking and acting.
I don't think the president is playing with us for fun.
... Chocolate? I smell chocolate. Maybe...
Taking advantage of my hair covering my eyes, I glanced at Naima, who was talking to her friends while eating the chocolate I gave her.
She didn't throw it away... Wow... I feel really good.
"Saik, deal the cards."
"Ah, sure."
Naima... Will you consider me a friend after the special test? I hope so.
"Oh! Y-yes, here, Saik."
Sylphie took out a sandwich from her backpack.
"My mom made an extra one. D-do you want it?"
Why is she lying to me? She made the sandwich, I can feel it.
Did she put poison or a laxative in it? Sylphie, I didn't expect this betrayal from you. Did you join Akito's side?
When we get off the bus, I'll tell the teacher that I want to change classes. I need to analyze the content to see if I'm right.
"Thank you very much. I'll gladly accept it."
I took the sandwich... Ah... Our hands touched and Sylphie quickly pulled hers away. Why did she get embarrassed? Is my hand dirty? It looks very clean to me.
Anyway... Mmm... I don't feel anything strange in the sandwich... I don't get any bad vibes.
Even though I can't use the legendary ghosts, my intuition has never failed me. It's a normal sandwich. Why did Sylphie lie?
Ah, women are so weird.
I dealt the cards from the deck and took a bite of the sandwich.
Wow, it's delicious. Double cheese, huh? And the amount of lettuce is perfect.
"Thank your mom for me, Sylphie. The taste of a homemade meal made by a mother is a flavor I missed a lot, but it tastes a bit different from a mother's cooking, or at least it doesn't give me that feeling. Anyway, it's delicious. Thank you very much for sharing it with me."
"Thank you very much, Saik!"
Ah, Sylphie's smile is quite adorable. I took out a... Ah, I didn't take out anything. Who stole my chocolate?
"Mmmm? What's wrong, darling?"
Number 31 stole my chocolate and is eating it under the seat. Are there no security cameras? Well, Number 31 may be a pervert and a sexual harasser, but she's not stupid at all. If she decided to steal my chocolate, it means there's no danger. But still, she left me without my only chocolate. I only have my emergency lollipop left.
With all the pain in my fragile and sensitive heart, I took out the lollipop and offered it to Sylphie.
"Here."
"T-thank you."
Goodbye, lollipop that was probably going to be delicious. I'll miss you.
Well, I'll keep playing.

(Pov- Yuki.)
The wind on my face feels amazing! Is this what it feels like to travel on top of a bus?! Awesome!
Yes, I admit, I'd prefer to stay alive, but being a ghost isn't so bad! Well, it would be very bad if I were a normal ghost who couldn't touch anything, but thanks to Saik, I can touch objects and eat delicious food! It's practically like I'm still alive, with the only downside being that I can't be seen by living people.
I could even be a superhero! But considering that if I do that, they might discover Saik and take him away from me, I'll have to forget about being a justice hero.
Wait... I smell the sea! We're close! Yippee, my first boat trip!
I feel like a bragging rich girl. Fufu. I'm poor, but I'll travel for free!
Mmm... What is Saik doing? Considering his antisocial side, he's probably sleeping or watching videos on his phone.
Let's see...
I stuck my head through the bus roof... Wow... Is Saik playing cards with Sylphie and the president?! Who are you and what have you done with my cute Saik?!
Joking aside, is Saik really socializing?! The end of the world is near!
"That plan sounds too cruel, I don't think he deserves it."
Huh? A cruel plan?
The trio of idiots led by Naima are talking about a plan, but they're whispering. What are they planning?
I floated down and hovered above them.
"Are you with me or not? Will you help me?" said Reiko.
You don't know how much I hate you, Reiko.
"I have nothing against him, so I won't help you." said Naima.
Him? Are they talking about Saik?!
"Do you really like him just because he gives you sweets?" said Yesei.
Ah... They are talking about Saik! Damn! My mom taught me self-defense when I was alive, they'll regret messing with my best friend...! Ahhhhhhhh! That's right, I can't touch them! But someday, I'll hit them!
"I don't like him, but I don't want to make an enemy of him either. After what he did to two third-year students and the student he expelled yesterday, it's clear to me how dangerous he can be. Didn't you read the group messages? Saik expelled a student just by hearing a phone camera. I don't recommend doing that."
Naima, I still hate you with all my heart, but you're very smart! Saik isn't a genius when it comes to academics, but he's amazing at creating strategies with the few resources available to him! Besides, he has me, a beautiful ghost girl who can spy on his enemies and help him get his way! In short, we're invincible! No one can ever defeat Saik! Muahahahaha!
"I lost."
Huh?
Ignoring these idiots, I approached Saik.
"Fufu. This is my fifth consecutive victory, Saik. I thought you'd be an expert at a simple card game. Was what happened with Kirimo pure luck? I doubt it."
"I haven't won because my chivalrous side prevents me from beating a lady, president. Even if I want to win, I'm so chivalrous that I can't help but let myself lose."
"Are you really going to use an excuse like that?"
"Don't you believe me? Let's play one more game. If I win, you'll give me that cake you have stored in your backpack. I saw it when you put your phone away."
"And what do I get?"
"If you win, I'll join the student council. By the way, Sylphie, if you win, the president and I will owe you a favor. Do you accept?"
"Well, well. I accept." said the president, smiling.
"Saik, are you sure?"
"I want that cake, so yes, I'm sure."
"I hope you're not lying to me. Sylphie, you deal."
"Y-yes."
I got close to Saik. I mean, this isn't normal. Why take such a risk?
"Saik, are you sure? Were you really pretending you didn't know how to play?"
"Trap..."
Trap...? Ah, cheat. We'll cheat!
"I think I'll add a trap to one of my stories... Ah, I'm getting distracted."
"Fufu. You want us to cheat?"
"Yes, I think that might work. Traps are very popular nowadays."
"I got the hint! Let's cheat!"
Fufu. Saik, you're a genius cheater!
Sylphie dealt the cards, and after exchanging one of hers, I told Saik the cards that the president and Sylphie had.
Knowing his opponents' cards, Saik avoided making the mistake of playing cards they needed, so he spent the rest of the game simply playing and saving the cards they needed for the end.
Sylphie had a set of twos down and six cards still in hand. The president and Saik had two sets down and three cards each. The president had two fives and a six. Saik had two fours and a five. If Saik got a four, he would have to discard his five, and since Sylphie didn't need it, the president would take it and be one card away from winning.
Saik avoided the mistake of discarding his five, as he never used it from the start, but now it was inevitable. Instead of losing, cheating simply guaranteed he had the same chances of winning. Now it all depended on luck.
Sylphie drew a card and it was... a four.
Sylphie didn't need it, so Saik took it, played his fours, and discarded the five. The president took it, played her cards, and discarded the six. Now it all depended on luck.
Sylphie didn't have a four or five, so luck would decide the winner.
The game continued, with five cards left in the deck.
It was the president's turn. She drew a card and... it was the four! We won!
Phew, it came down to luck in the end.
"Well, well. I lost."
"Where's my prize?"
"Will you take away a poor girl's cake that she was hoping to eat and enjoy with her friends?"
"You're a millionaire, so pity won't work. A bet is a bet. Pay up."
"Fufu. I really like that sadistic side of yours, Saik."
She took out the cake and handed it to Saik.
"Next time, don't be so chivalrous and play well."
"Yes, madam."
"Ahem, ahem. Don't you think I deserve half the prize, accomplice?"
Wink, wink. Give it to me! It's a cake bought by a millionaire! It surely has gold as one of its ingredients!
"I'll save it for later."
"Thank you, Saik!"
I can't wait to savor it with all my being.
"Well, good night."
Huh? Saik put his head on the president's shoulder?
"You're quite bold, aren't you, Saik?"
"I just need a pillow. Good night, president. Don't take advantage of me or I'll report you for sexual harassment."
"I should be the one reporting you. Besides, don't fall asleep, we're almost there."
"Ah... That's right... Well, I'll sleep on the cruise."
Are you seriously going to waste a cruise trip, Saik?!
Oh, right, Saik used to be wealthy; he's probably been on cruises before.
What were Saik's trips like? Did he meet strange ghosts? Do ghost ships exist? So many possibilities. I need to know the answers to my questions!
"Saik, Saik, have you been on cruises before?! Do ghost ships exist?! Have you seen incredible things on your trips thanks to your special power?! Tell me, tell me!"
"Now that I see the sea, I remembered a ghost ship story my father told me he saw on one of our family trips."
Ghost ships really exist?! I was joking!
"Was it a pirate ship?!"
"He said he saw a group of pirates, led by a pirate with a huge black beard and completely white, glowing eyes."
Ghost pirates?!
"So cool! I hope we can see them! Real pirates!"
Sounds so cool!
"And do you believe in ghost pirates, Saik?" said the president.
Of course he believes in ghost pirates, he can see them!
"Not really, but it would be cool to see one. Don't you think?"
"If they existed and I saw one, I'd probably end up dead. Pirates were known for their brutality."
"Yeah, that's true, they were dangerous... Very dangerous."
Ghost pirates... Ghost pirates!! If ghost pirates exist, do sea monsters exist too?! I mean, after all, ghosts exist, it wouldn't be strange to imagine sea monsters exist too.
Explorer Yuki will investigate the ocean floor! And I'm not afraid of any monster, I'm already dead, they can't kill or hurt me! Muahahaha!
... Ah... I forgot!
"President, it's your turn to deal."
"Saik, Saik, Naima and her friends are planning something to humiliate you! Give me the order and I'll humiliate them myself for you!"
Saik shook his head. Why not?!
"They're our enemies, we must attack first to gain the advantage, captain helmet hair!"
He shook his head again. Ahhhhhhhh! Saik, will you let them...?! Wait... Saik is a guy who doesn't get intimidated... He must have a plan! Sorry for doubting you, captain helmet hair!
Just wait a bit longer, idiots! Saik will give you what you deserve!
•
•
"Well, well. Sister, I don't feel any energy in Saik. Our Goddess was right."
"Brother, what do we do? Do we follow orders?"
"Our Goddess wants him alive, so as long as we don't kill him, we won't get in trouble. Let's see how powerful he can be, even without using his legendary ghosts, sister."
"Should we use the Nature Golem, brother?"
"We'll use it, sister. Let's prepare it."
The twins were in the sky, watching the buses arrive at their destination.
Both nodded and disappeared, leaving a threat in the open air.
•
•
Getting off the bus and seeing the huge ship, Yuki was in shock.
"Mommy, mommy! Look, a huge ship! So cool!"
"Would you like to travel by ship, Yuki?"
"Yes!"
"Maybe we'll travel someday. Hmm... How about traveling on a cruise to celebrate your 15th birthday?"
"Yay! Thanks, mommy!"
A very sweet but, at the same time, sad memory filled Yuki's mind as she looked at the huge ship in front of her.
She wanted to cry, but decided not to and kept smiling so as not to worry her good friend.
"The ship is huge, Saik! Look, look, it even has a trampoline! It surely has a pool! What you'd expect from a ship for the rich!"
Saik discreetly patted Yuki on the head twice, and she looked at him with puzzlement.
"Hiding your feelings isn't good, Yuki." Saik whispered.
Those words were enough to release Yuki's tears, and she hugged him tightly, staining Saik's shirt with her tears.
"My mother... Saik... Is my mother really a bad person?"
"I don't know."
Saik started walking, moving away from everyone while Yuki kept hugging him. He moved away so no one could see him whisper.
"Think about this. Maybe your mother was in that illegal business because she was threatened, or maybe she wanted to give you a life of luxury she never had. One thing I'm sure of, she loved you when you were alive, and if she sees you again, even as a ghost, she'll still love you. You just need time to digest the news... In a year, I'll personally take you to see your mother, how about that?"
"What if she's scared of my presence?"
"On the contrary, she'll probably think it's a miracle. She's lucky her daughter became a ghost. I didn't have the same luck with my parents, they went to paradise and didn't become ghosts. Don't waste the chance you have to see your mother, Yuki."
"Yes... You're right... I'll show her how much I've grown!"
"Well, only mentally, you're still an adorable little girl."
"Ahhhhhhhh! I'm 15 years old, I'm not a little girl!"
Yuki puffed her cheeks, and Saik patted them.
"
"You're adorable.
"S-stop treating me like a little girl!" she said, embarrassed, with a slight blush on her cheeks.
"Hey, idiot, come, we need to gather, they'll give us our protection bracelets!! Stop wasting time and bring your butt over here!!" Naima yelled.
"Hey, Saik, don't let her humiliate you like that! Don't let her call you an idiot!"
Saik turned around and walked towards Naima.
"It doesn't matter."
•
•
(Pov- Saik.)
I met up with Naima. From what I see, everyone is with their respective partners. Ram and Sylphie are on the same team, so I won't worry about Sylphie. I doubt Ram wants to lose.
The teachers started handing out the protection bracelets. White bracelets. They're nice... Huh? Why did I get a white one and a black one?
"What about the black one?"
"You'll receive your instructions later."
Ah, it must be about the extra special test I'll face. I see.
"You can put on the bracelets."
I put on the bracelets, one on each arm. Naima put hers on her left arm.
They're quite comfortable, huh? Though I'm curious about the black bracelet. It has a small screen with a number 0. Will it be a test to gather points or something like that?
"Pay attention! The next test will evaluate your..."
Zzzzzzzzz. I'm bored. The classic teacher speech has started. Teamwork, blah, blah, blah. Effort is important because, blah, blah, blah.
I'd better pinch Yuki's cheeks.
"Kya! It hurts! What are you doing?!"
So soft. Yuki is like a little cat, it's fun to bother her.
"For now, enjoy the cruise, which will last a day for students participating in the camp and Capital events. Those participating in island events will have an extra day on the cruise."
More free food for me.
Now that I realize, there's no one from the second or third year here. Did they already board the ship? I got distracted talking to Yuki and didn't pay attention. Will they have a different test? I should have asked the president.
"It's not fair, we want an extra day on the cruise too!" said a random student I'll probably never know the name of, but I must admit, his blonde hair is cute.
"Those on the island will have an extra day on the cruise to compensate for the time they'll spend on an island," said one of the teachers.
"Come on, don't complain, at least we'll have a bath."
Both started laughing, and Naima couldn't help but smile.
"While they work hard or take tests to get food, we'll be enjoying the beach and with a bath. It'll be a piece of cake. Don't you think, helmet hair?"
"Hey, only I can call him helmet hair!" said Yuki, who's face-to-face with Naima.
So close to her... How envious.
"We'll still have to pass tests and take online classes, but yes, it'll be relatively easier compared to the others."
At least for you, I'll have to face another special test and expel someone specific.
"Get on board, and remember to follow the rules. We won't tolerate inappropriate behavior. The cabin lists will be sent to your emails, please check your cabins."
Let's see... I took out my phone and opened my email. How efficient, it's already here. I opened the list... Cabin number 34, along with Jess, from group 1-C, Kaeyko, from group 1-A, and Slask... What a strange name. Slask, from group 1-E. I only recognize Kaeyko from that list, though we've only talked once.
In other words, they're not acquaintances, they're strangers. They won't talk to me, and I won't talk to them. That means I'll be able to sleep without being disturbed. I'll eat something and then sleep.
"Don't do anything stupid. I'm your partner in this test, so whatever you do affects me. Don't do anything foolish, or I'll punch you, got it?" Naima said, raising her fist.
Aggressive, huh? I like it.
"Yes, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid, I promise. I just want to sleep. I don't think I'll do anything foolish on my way to bed."
"I hope so."
She walked away and boarded the ship with her friends.
But, unfortunately, I couldn't keep my promise.
"You broke my leg, you damn savage!"
And I ended up in a situation where now everyone labels me as a woman-beater.
While Reiko cried in pain, the students around me looked at me furiously, and I simply yawned, not feeling bad about it.
"You're more of an idiot than I thought, huh?"
(Extra- Legendary ghost number 12, the ghost of depression.)
(Pov- Saik, age 6.)
One day after acquiring the legendary ghost number 11, I found my next target. Getting number 7 was the best thing that could have happened to me, thanks to her, I can find the holders of the legendary ghosts with great ease.
If any of the ghost hunters that number 1 mentioned before had found the legendary ghost number 7, they could have located the legendary ghosts they so desperately want to obtain.
Fortunately, the legendary ghost number 7 was on private property, making it difficult to find. I really had... too much luck... Sometimes I think I'm having too much luck, but it's better not to dwell on that.
Right in front of my eyes is the holder of the legendary ghost number 12, praying at a shrine.
A very old woman, almost an elder. Ah, this is the hard part of my job, but if I want to achieve my goal, I have to do it.
Number 4 came out of my body, took the knife I had hidden, and threw it, hitting right behind her head. The lifeless body of the woman fell to the ground... Wow, it really worked.
"The poison turned out to be better than I expected. I thought the instant effect was an exaggeration."
Quickly, I placed my hand on her back and captured the legendary ghost number 12.
The side effects started to manifest, and my legs began to tremble.
"Hold on, Saik."
I know, number 1, holding on is all I can do. After doing it 12 times, I'm getting used to the sensation, and considering my training is equally painful, getting used to the pain is easier.
But I can't help but cry. It hurts a lot! But I can't show weakness... I must be strong if I want to be able to protect my parents.
"Saik, they're coming."
I immediately ran away from the place without looking back.
"Who are they...?"
"Don't talk and keep running."
Why does he sound so worried? Who are we really running from?
Well, it doesn't matter. I obtained my twelfth legendary ghost. 12 legendary ghosts under my control, 88 to go.
