Chapter 59: Innocent Schemer
Ten Orichalcum-Grade Seekers and twenty Mythril-Grades were present.
"Is this much firepower needed to lock down a Platinum-Grade newbie like me?" I can only question the strangeness of this situation.
Bang!
"You better shut your mouth, kid. You're not fooling anyone with your lies. Who sent you?"
A spear grazed my ear. A woman with wavy blonde hair looked at me with hate. She was in a state of absolute rage, her eyes were telling me that she really wanted me to die. It seems like something had happened.
Did they send an Orichalcum Martial to interrogate me? That must mean they are looking at me with absolute wariness.
Blinking around, I surmised that we should be in a lowered area. I can see windows four meters above the walls of this room. I can't tell if there are people behind those walls, but I am sure there are.
'Lethias, can you hear me?'
"Hmm? What's the matter, kid? Ah, oh, right you're currently locked up in this place. I reckon you want to know what's happening right? Here's the thing…"
With Lethias being someone only I can hear and see was extremely useful. She explained what happened, her escapades, and how she forced me to unleash a part of my hidden abilities inside the illusory world.
After what I did, the Mythril-Grade Tier-7 Mage Halvesta's control of the illusory world went haywire and then the monster wreaked havoc.
As for the Monster used in the experiment, that thing became a cripple and was then turned to lunch. No one got hurt, and I was the only casualty, really.
But, the reason why I am detained here is that they are suspicious that I did something. According to Lethias, some even think I was the one who made Halvesta lose control.
I did all that and the odd thing is that I can't remember much after he synchronized with the illusory world and destroyed all the monster.
"Really? You can't remember? That's a bummer, but…that's okay, there's no rush. But, do tell me if you start feeling odd���oh yeah, once this is over, I'll let you know that something actually did change. For now, ciao~."
Lethias stated as she returned to my body. I looked around and everyone was on edge. They must suspect me for someone trying to infiltrate their facilities…which is true.
But I doubt they can pinpoint my allegiance to Blue Crown. After all, I have no tattoo and I carry no item that can be tracked down to Blue Crown. Even the artifacts I own which I got from Blue Crown is not something they can track.
No one will risk reading my mind because they fear I can kill them…which I can do.
Though I have no memory of the synchronization of the illusory world, from their expressions alone I can tell that they are afraid of what I am capable of.
No one will try anything unless I do something, but that also means I won't be able to take the chance to take over the situation.
I said I need to shut up because of the danger, but for me to stand above them and properly assert dominance, breaking that rule is necessary.
"I see…I finally understand what's happening."
All of them were jolted as I spoke. They grew tense and lifted their weapon against me.
"W-wait, please lower your weapons. I understand why you're angry, but isn't this a bit excessive? A mere Platinum-Grade Rank-3 Mage like myself shouldn't be in a situation such as this."
Bzzz!
A static echoed, it was then that I heard a voice from somewhere piercing my mind directly.
"Then, tell us what you did. The well-known Tier-7 Mage Halvesta's control of the illusory world was cut-off. Then, the Dream Spectre became rogue and increased the difficulty of the examination that not even a Mythril or Orchalcum Seeker could have survived. What's more, is that we can't exactly measure your level.
"According to our equipment, you are Manaless, which is impossible. With that in mind, we think you are someone capable of hiding your true identity and someone stronger than what you claim that you are. With all of that in mind, I ask of you, do you think we're still being excessive?"
I can see all of their points. They are worried about someone strong infiltrating them, but all of that suspicions can be answered with one simple statement…
"Around two or three years ago, I made a transaction with the Seeker Association. That city is now destroyed but I supposed the data on that place is kept within your database. It's common knowledge that every transaction and exchange done with the Seeker Association is recorded and stored for 50 years before being deleted.
"Search for my name, and I am sure the forms I gave you that day will prove who I am. As for the question of why any of you can't pick up my mana, it is because my bloodline's innate ability doesn't allow anyone to see it.
"Only I can know of it. Let me guess, you weren't able to find my Mana Channels as well, correct? That's because it is obscured. As for how I managed to destroy the monsters, all of that can be explained by my innate bloodline ability. No one can attack me mentally or else it reacts without me knowing. I can't control my innate bloodline ability, because it's too strong for me to handle. I may have Nine Mana Channels, but I am still unaware of how I can control it."
With that statement, I made three different points they took notice.
First, with the transaction data, my identity was cleared up. Though they don't trust me all that much because the city was destroyed, it was enough to make them shake the idea that I'm some sort of old monster with freakish ability.
Second, little is known about bloodline abilities because they are so rare. They are varied and it had been manifesting in different abilities all over the continents. It was plausible that what I just said was true. It was flimsy, but I managed to somehow convinced them.
Lastly, by mentioning I have Nine Mana Channels, a very strong Bloodline Ability, and the fact that they learned that my age is not even above 13 and I'm already this strong they released me the very next day.
The reason why is simple…they want to turn me into a useful dog.
I know that it's not the best situation, but after some deliberation, this is the best I can do.
Because of this, the Seeker Association will pay attention to me.
With them watching me, the Blue Crown will lessen their spies. I'll be able to slowly pull out of their eyes.
The Seeker Association will try and put another leash on me. But little did they know, that with this, there are many from the higher position trying to draw me to their camp to strengthen their places.
There are always people like that. Once someone with sufficient strength and prestige approaches me, then, the one who will be able to put a leash on the Association will be me.
And with that, I'll be able to find who killed Von.
