The irregulars
chapter 12
the meeting had finally started with the royal family and the trio, the queen spoke firstly to give thanks
''now, Rein, Claude, and Gen, thank you for defeating the demon and accepting our favor, even thought you three are outsiders from this kingdom, you saved a lot of soldiers and tried to help find our lost daughter, you have my gratitude.
princess luna de mistia took a painting of her lost sister Runa to show it to the trio.
''my daughter, runa de mistia is just just a 14 years old girl, she has a dark purple short hair and a slim body, her eyes were like amethyst, she has a cold expression but she is warm inside, she does not talk much but she's caring.
the queen briefly explained with love her daughter features, for a moment later on Gen asked.
''what is the reason she run away? your majesty.
hearing this made the whole family, feel a little guilt and they started to explain.
''our daughter Runa was a Chosen hero, however her abilities were unholy, she has a high dark spiritual affinity and magic affinity is second to it, which made her felt multiple negative emotion such as sadness, shame, and disappointment, because of her noble status most of the nobles were disappointed in her so she felt a huge rejection as a chosen hero and a princess.
after hearing the queen explanation, they felt sadness specially Rein who has a soft hearth, therefore Gen asked.
''what is her ability? your majesty.
''.....her ability was to control the dead or undead monsters, because of it a lot of people hated her specially the church and also herself
hearing this made one conclusion on Gen mind ''she is a necromancer'', Gen felt shocked and amazed, on Gen perspective the necromancy is a powerful ability which controls the dead's which has the power to Raise an army of immortal , he read's lot's of stories with such an abilities and chooses one on his video games as it is powerful, Gen felt amazed on Runa which made him interested on her powers.
however Gen also understands what Runa feels as he cant weight the burden of controlling someone's corps, because Gen is a guy who knows most emotional feelings despite being feeling empty on his life due to some reasons, he has higher psychological understanding than Claude.
''we felt guilt for not staying by her side as the parents, even though our daughter is feeling miserable.
''its not entirely your fault, your majesty, i know you were watching for her to be there when she need's, however she vanished without you knowing,
Gen comforted the queen with as he knows what the missing princess is feeling right now
''i bet the princess wanted to vanish for her family, she though that it would be better for her if she does not exist, i get that a lot, the feeling of wanting to vanish because your just a nuisance to everybody, though mine is a different case, ''Gen thought''
''don't worry your majesty, we will surely find princess Runa ''said Rein''
hearing their comfort gave a relief feeling to the Queen therefore she asked.
''is there anything you all wanted right now?
''yes! im currently in need of a spirit to get contracted to,
claude answered the queen's question actively, after seeing the spiritual energy and reading the book gave by the spiritual sage, he became confident as his analytical and love to learn is very high, he was up to something.
''a spirit to get contracted to, so you wand to open a ritual of summoning ?, ''the king spoke''
''yes, your majesty, i wanted to form a contract to a spirit that is suited for me
the king stared at claude and sees the determination to learn and have power in claude eyes which made the king interested at what might claude become in the future.
''okay, i will grant your wish, follow me.
they followed the king to a spacious place underground and on the middle of the place there were writings in the ground forming a huge circle.
''there stand in the middle of the circle and infuse your spiritual energy to it, the circle was made with magic and spiritual arts, with a magic circle infused with spiritual energy, it will summon a spirits or even other beings which that has no physical body
claude walked straight on the circle without any hesitation and infused his spiritual energy in the middle of it, for a few minutes of infusing, most of his spiritual energy was absorbed and a reaction appears
the whole magic circle reacted to his energy and started to manifest, in front of him appeared a shining light and it enveloped him and saw the mysterious humanoid light from before ''Referring to Chapter 2'' , however it is now clearer as he can see spirit's now,
the humanoid light was a beautiful woman with stunning face and appearance, wearing a shining gown and said with a beautiful tone of voice.
''ohh children of light we finally meet, however our time is ripe,
''who are you?
''i am the angel of burning light seraphim, our time is limited henceforth let me give you this as a parting gift, claude, be sure to take care of her well
claude vision are now back at the summoning ritual which the light in front of him manifested and formed as a spirit of light, a humanoid creature that is shining with its stunning beauty and flowing radiant hair with golden eyes and a golden white dress
''Greetings, i am seraphyre, an angel of light, I would like to ask one thing before I agree to this contract, Claude aetherlight, if the whole world became your enemy, what would you do?
''..... Then I would be proud
''why?
''because it take's the whole world just to defeat me.
''your dodging the question.
''do you really need to ask such simple question, of course I will fight to survive if I have the power I will live even if everything is my enemy
After hearing this from Claude, seraphyre was satisfied at his philosopic honest answer therefore she asked.
''if there are people close to you, would you protect them on such a situation?
''no
Seraphyre frowned as she heard his answer which made seraphyre ask.
''...why
''because i will train them to be strong on their own.
After getting the answer seraphyre began to dive at Claude's spirit and made the contract there by giving a some of her spiritual energy.
And the ritual is done, however the royal family were astonished after seeing a high ranking spirit, which Claude made contract with
''claude that was? ''princess Luna spoke''
''the spirit I got contracted to.
The whole people at the room was astonished except Gen and Rein who's yet cannot see spiritual energy
''Claude the one you got contracted to is not just a regular spirit Claude, it's higher than that, to be able to speak and has a clear intelligence, not to mention a humanoid form, it was a higher spirit of light claude.
princess Luna spoke with a serious and astonished tone,
''it really is, that seraphyre was not a regular spirit, she's more like an Angel, however that Angel of Burning light, Seraphim was on another level, as if she was almost a celestial being, i tried to use my Skill Status appraisal to her but it Failed, ''Claude thought, still i got something that is higher than Good, seraphyre, she is very strong, ''claude thought''

''ERROR INFORMATION UNNAVAILABLE!!!''
''even the appraisal skill that bestowed to us by the sages cannot acquire her complete information, it must be that she is far more stronger than i am or her information were hidden in the world, ''claude thought''
the event ended and they gone back to the surface with memories full of events, for a moment later claude asked for another favor,
''your majesty, may i ask for another favor?
''State it
''i want Gen and Rein to awaken their spiritual perception.
hearing this made Rein and Gen shocked as they know that they cannot use spiritual arts, claude saw their impression therefore explained
''...listen, when i awakened my spiritual perception i became able to see spiritual energy, which both of you also had spiritual energy, however is it very weak.
''i see does that mean that all people has spiritual energy?, its just that their energy of it is weak? ''Gen asked''
''yes your correct.
''hmm maybe all people have all the three energy it just their energy of that is weak that why it did not manifest ''Gen added''
''seems like it, ''claude added''
princess luna made Gen and Rein stand in front of her and started what she did at Claude, however it took multiple attempts and lasted for a few days until they can see spiritual energy
''whoa so this is Spiritual energy, ''said Gen''
''i can see some energy flowing to my body, but the energy that is flowing from Claude is too strong. ''said Rein''
Gen were very curious to their theory if all people has all energy so tried to create a passive magic based of what he is seeing now from the flowing spiritual energy, he imagined the energy of magic inside people which he wanted an eye that can see all magical energy
''MAGIC AQUIRED '' magical perception( allows the user to see all magical energy )
'' i did it!
at the same time Gen felt mentally hurt which made him fall to its knees which made Rein and Claude worry
''you created a magic again? your interest in magic gives me shivers as you would risk your life for it, so what is it now? ''Said claude''
''i just wanted to know if all people has magical energy so i made a magic that applies on my perception like your spiritual perception Claude.
''hey you better be careful doing it again Gen, ''Rein said''
''so what do you see? ''Claude asked''
''yes i see your magical energy, it is indeed weak compared to mine.
