Chereads / Invisible String (Full) / Chapter 20 - LIKE IT USED TO BE

Chapter 20 - LIKE IT USED TO BE

The next morning, at five o'clock in the morning I was already inside Jevro's big mansion. Having a coffee while reading the latest news about Acon. According to the information released by the monsters department, Acon's DNA is similar to that of an eagle. If that's the case, the said monster is not from a laboratory or made by a laboratory.

Is it possible for monsters to suddenly appear in the world? Wait, if I base what happened on how the Mana stone ended up on the earth, couldn't it be that the monsters also fell to the earth along with the evil traitor referred to by the mysterious voice? No, it's impossible. If they did fall four years ago before the stone, people must have felt and seen it.

"Hah! What a mess! Where can I find the core?!" I said annoyed while sitting in front of the table.

The maid in the mansion was currently preparing the breakfast of me and Jevro. Arnold placed a cup of creamy coffee in front of me, which I happily thanked. After sipping coffee, I continued reading the article again.

Recently, Cebu residents also found a monster swimming in the ocean. The said monster is a very large Octupos. It's no wonder if in the next few days there will be a giant shark or even a kraken under the ocean that suddenly risen.

"With what's happening and these gigantic animals appearing in the ocean, it's as if the rotation of the world has returned to the time of the Giants. When will the Goliath-types appear?!" I said with irritation.

Arnold just laughed at me while listening. Actually, back in year 2000's, I remember the adventurers discovered something about the big continent outside the ice wall. I sat up straight when that thing popped into my mind. Based on the theories of the bright people of that time, the continent that people belong to today does not even reach 1/4 the size of the entire land area of ​​the real world. If that's true, then...

"What are you thinking so deeply? I was calling your name repeatedly but you never heard it. " Hearing Jevro's voice made me flinch. The man is awake.

I looked at him and gave him a small smile. "Good Morning." I told him.

"En.. What are you reading?"

Why does the tone of the man's voice seem strange now? Is it because he just woke up? Well, never mind.

"I was reading this article about Acon's information. According to the news, the said monster is a type of bird. I'm just wondering, if it's a bird, why does the other part of the body look different? I expect the department to say that it's mixed DNA but they said it's pure." I answered him with doubt.

Jevro sat in the chair next to me and also slightly leaned closer to me to see what was written on the screen floating in front of me. He also read what was written there for a few moments before he took my cup of coffee and sipped it without warning. I was secretly stunned by what he did but I just ignored it.

"Hmm.. If Acon is a pure breed, that means it came from another place. The question is, which place?" Jevro asked seriously while still drinking from my cup of coffee.

"That's the same question I asked myself a while ago. Do you think it's possible that that people's theory was true back in the year 2000?"

"I didn't know you were reading stories about ancient times. Dont tell me that even the time of the Dinosaurs you still read?" A smirk appeared on Jevro's lips as he stared at me.

I don't read about Dinosaur anymore, but since Jevro just mentioned about it, I think I want to study about it too. Hold on, if the theory of the people about the half bubble-shaped barrier that was upside down on the entire continent of the earth back then was true, that means that the barrier is no longer there or it was already broken that caused monsters to enter the human world. If my theory is correct, then the whole world is in serious danger!

"Jevro.. Tell me. Are you really going to help me discover everything that the mysterious voice that spoke to us said?" I asked Jevro in a weak voice.

He looked at me seriously before answering. "It depends on the situation. The monsters that are attacking now are getting stronger and stronger. If im still breathing, of course I will help you. We don't know when I will die, so I'll help you depending on the situation."

I secretly swallowed. Why do Jevro's words sound familiar? Where did I hear those? More than that, why do I feel like something has broken a chain coiled around my heart cage?

"My only question is if you will help me. Your answer is very serious. By the way, what time do we train?" I'll change the topic.

"Ten minutes after we eat breakfast. We only have three hours to train. Uncle called me, he said that we have to go to the department at 9:30 today." Jevro adjusted his seat, while I closed the floating screen.

"Why?"

"The American representatives requested to do the spar with you again. Don't worry, Alistair is no longer the one who wants to spar with you." Jevro answered as he accepted the food that a maid placed on his plate.

"Can't they think of anything else but to spar with me? I've only been awakened for two days, no, three days, for goodness sake." I exclaimed to him before thanking the maid who gave me breakfast.

"Oh yeah?" Jevro answered meaningfully while giving me a meaningful look. "Well, you're correct. It's just, what can the department do if the person who was awakened for three days can kill a monster with just one move. While the combined forces of the first team struggled. Can you blame the American representatives if they are interested in your "three days awakened"?" Jevro emphasized the words "three days awakened".

Well, that's my fault, but still. I don't understand why they are so interested in my skills. I have no intention of leaving my own country even if they offer me a few billion, well maybe if they give me my own city in their country. A silly smile appeared on my lips. But seriously, I don't really have those things in mind.

"They are delusional. Their power is already written on the list of the international Malemyns team. What is the reason to test my ability. They can just wait to see me fight during the raid." I answered him in a cold voice.

"Are you going to go with them if they offered you to be a member of the international team?" Jevro's voice was also serious.

"My own country needs me, Jevro. And more than that, we both know that we are entrusted with the search for the fallen traitor of the sky. Do you think that the two of us are not already the secret guardians of the whole world?" I laughed as I said the last words I said to him.

Jevro laughed too. "You look like a member of the titans." He said while chuckling.

I made a chuckle while continuing to eat breakfast. After a while we finished together. And of course, we also went to Jevro's underground basement together where we will do the training. Honestly, I don't need it. But to hide my real identity, I have to. I just hope, when Jevro finds out the truth, he won't abandon me and just leave me in the middle of a mission.

"Are you really only able to handle daggers?" Jevro asked me.

"I don't know. I have never tried to hold another weapon. As you can see, when the power awakened in my body, it suddenly came out of my hands." I answered him while taking out the two daggers from my hands.

These two daggers have different appearances. One has a slightly curved tip with two waves on the blade. The other one was straight although the blade had three short fangs facing my hands. When I first saw the appearance of my two daggers, I could tell that they were not made on earth. I also don't know what effect they have when they hit the monster.

"Can I hold them?" Jevro asked.

"I'm not sure with that either. Try to touch them." I answered him as I offered the daggers to him.

Jevro approached and tried to touch them but it was like a strong electric voltage that suddenly pulled him back. The electricity comes directly from the two daggers.

"I guess they don't like me." Jevro said while pouting.

"Sorry about that. Shall we start? What are our rules for training? Should we use weapons?" I asked him.

"No, I want to see how well you are used to moving during fighting. Let me evaluate your movements." Jevro answered.
