Chapter 14 - Gradually mastering its control.
Glade, who constantly suppressed the evoked, boundless murderous intent and extreme brutal savagery that coursed through him, finally got home.
Once he arrived before the door to their huge, stately mansion, the oppressive diabolical intents that surged within him like ever-furious sinister tides, immediately became docile.
Glade went in and saw his sister who was currently lying on the chair, reading a certain book on lists of assets owned by people in numerous other nations.
Once she saw Glade, she became heavily surprised that he was already home by this hour. She then stood to her feet and threw her arms out to affectionately embrace him, her sweetest baby brother in the world.
Detaching from the embrace a few moments later, she asked with a certain expression setting on her face, "But Glade, you guys closed really early today in school. Hope everything is okay?"
"Yes, big sis. Everything is okay." Glade immediately answered.
Thorrhia observed him for a few second and said, "There is definitely something that's not okay."
Continuing, she spoke, "Tell me, Glade. You know you can't hide anything from me, your big sis. If you can hide them from mom because she is strict, you absolutely can't hide them from me. You know how well I dote on you."
Glade laughed upon hearing that.
He then said, in a seemingly struggling manner, since he didn't know how Thorrhia was going to react to it, "Actually, I-I was e-expelled from the school."
"You were what?" Thorrhia asked with her eyes fully widened with immense shock.
"I was expelled." Glade answered again—confidently this time. While Thorrhia looked at him with confusion written all over her face.
"Why? What happened? What did you do?" Thorrhia questioned with unhappiness beginning to unravel deep in her heart. It even showed in her tone and mannerism.
"Sis, it's nothing to worry about. You can forget about it." Glade answered while Thorrhia defiantly shook her head.
"I won't take that answer. Tell me what happened. If you tell me now, I will be able to present it to mom in a way that she wouldn't get mad at you." Thorrhia said, seriously demanding full explanation on what really happened back at school that got him expelled.
Glade exhaled.
He then said with a smile appearing on his lips, "Actually, I was going to tell you. Why would I want to hide anything from my big sis? It's just that I suddenly felt both nervous and anxious doing so."
He then said further before Thorrhia could anything.
"Big sis, I think I am a great Anomaly. One that the world hasn't seen or heard about since its inception." Glade unexpectedly said while his sister broke a smirk on her face.
"Is that your answer? What manner of answer is that? Beside, why are you trying to sound all-mysterious? Just tell me the details that I need to know so that big sis can help you craft a pleasant, more-acceptable explanation. One that would evoke less punishment from mom." Thorrhia said while Glade who was trying to explain things to her before revealing anything, simply went ahead to do so.
Quickly, he went to their large luxurious kitchen to get a small of bag of salt that weighed over thirty kilogram.
Once he got the bag of salt and appeared before his sis, she looked at him with an inexplicable expression on her face.
"Salt? What is with the salt? What do you want to do with it?" She asked, her brows deeply furrowed.
"Sis, just keep calm and watch, will you?" Glade asked and smirked at her.
Then using his powerful arms, he ripped the thick bag in half, which caused the large salt content it contained to fall to the cold, tiled floor that instantly littered everywhere.
"Glade, what is the meaning of this? I won't be calling any maid to clean this up for you. You will clean it up yourself. You'll see." Thorrhia said, seriously unhappy with what Glade just did.
While Glade only smiled and tried using the Blessing called Revolutionary Hard-Crystal Monolithic Armor Creation.
The moment he did so, this time, his eyes became like actual crystals. They seemed like life-like eyes carved from shining, solid resplendent crystals.
Once this Blessing started to operate within him, the large amounts of salt crystals scattered all over the enormous tiled ground, began to float into the air and towards him, where they attached to his entire forearm skin and rapidly fused with one another to form a massive crystalline gauntlet that began to glow and emit intense iridescent light.
A few seconds later, there were no more salt crystals on the ground, restoring it back to its former perfectly clean look.
"Wow." Thorrhia was massively amazed.
She then stood to her feet to look at the dazzling, radiative gauntlet composed of salt crystals which fully encased Glade's whole arm in a protective fashion.
She touched the gauntlet—which felt tremendously hard and tough and couldn't help but shake her head, greater levels of awe pouring into her heart.
"So, this was formed using only the salt crystals?" She asked with a bright look of marvel deeply etched on her face.
"Yes, big sis." Glade said, nodding his head.
"That's wild and spectacularly great of you. Mom would feel so delighted and fulfilled to see this." Thorrhia said while Glade nodded his head.
Then thinking about other parts that would compose a full body armor, such as the pauldrons which were the shoulder plates, armet which was the protective head gear or helmet, cuirass for breastplate, greaves for calves and shin plates, gauntlet for hands and wrists plates, and so on, Glade decided to create a pauldron—protective shoulder plate using the salt crystals for his left shoulder.
Immediately he thought to, the crystals that had fused to one another, forming the large crystal gauntlet that enclosed his forearm, began to surprisingly separate from one another to become thousands of floating and glowing salt crystals that moved to his left shoulder region and immediately fused with it and with themselves, forming a large and visibly solid pauldron that radiated a resplendent but foreboding-looking radiance, and invoked the absolute feeling of great-degree indestructibility.
Glade who was glad that he could do this, became immensely elated. While Thorrhia who was watching the whole thing, was tremendously bedazzled.
"Wow! Glade, you can actually turn it to another armor part on you. You are amazing." Thorrhia said while Glade ecstatically nodded his head, accepting the compliment.
However, after being elated for sometime, marveling at Glade's seamless control of a Blessing she had never seen him reveal before, she suddenly gazed at him and asked with a certain look of unbound perplexity deeply carved on her face, "Glade, who imbued you with this Blessing?"
