My Magical System

Out of curiosity, he summoned a bit of magical energy to the sword. But just as he expected, the magical aura remained on it. It shone. Yeman was surprised to see it. He had no idea that it had something like that.

“Beast Soul.” Ronny muttered, but his face showed amazement towards the sword.

“Beast Soul?” Yeman repeated as he took a glance at Ronny.

“Yeah. Beast Soul comes in different forms. They were either weapons or armor, some even an egg. Rumors said that Beast Soul was the cultivation of the soul. As the beast started to learn, it also started to yearn. And so, from their soul, they started to cultivate the items they yearned for. However, it was only a rumor, and no one was able to justify its authenticity as no one saw the actual process of how these kinds of items were developed.”

“I see.” Although his reply was so simple, Yeman was so surprised to hear it. Perhaps, he could ask Elder Priest about it. Regardless, since there was a rumor, there should be a reason behind it.

Uncle Ronny attempted to return the sword. But Yeman said that he could not wield it otherwise. He wasn’t even good at using such a big sword. If ever he wielded an item that was not allowed by his system there was a penalty to him.

.....

In his mind, his Killing Sword and Soul Reaping Sword had much better stats compared to it. But Yeman gawked when Ronny told him that the Beast Soul equipment’s real power couldn’t be measured. The power of the item grows through experience.

‘What!’

Just as Ronny said. He left after packing up. When Aunt Claire arrived. He already left.

“That Oldman still could not leave the army!” Aunt Claire grumbled and sighed after Yeman told her about Uncle Ronny.

Regardless, he was so interested in the so-called Beast Soul equipment. The happiness Ronny felt was visible on his face when he received the sword. The greatsword he was using was already old and unpolished. With Beast Soul equipment he had, he was certain that he would break through to another stage two to three months later. He then rushed towards the army’s headquarters.

When the shadow of the setting sun started to shade the empire, the road towards the palace had become livelier than usual. The roaring and thumping of different kinds of mounts were unceasing. Most of them were from the nobles. Together with their guards and a few personal armies, they rushed to the grand hall, to where the banquet would be held.

Some of the great noble family members were present as well.

However, not all of the guests this time were from the higher stature families. Most of them were from the commoners. After all, more commoners joined the subjugation mission last time.

Meanwhile, inside the carriage. Eina was staring at the person sitting in front of his brother. She was so pretty with long silky jet black hair.

Even Aunt Clair, who was sitting next to the lady, was having an anxious face- self-conscious to be seated next to such a girl.

“Brother, brother,” Eina tugged her brother’s sleeve. He noticed that his sister had something to whisper on him.

His ear slowly approached her. “She is so pretty. Are you sure she’s your friend?”

“.....”

“Ahaha, she’s my boss.” He laughed wryly.

Night was acting as her boss. Well, in reality, she was their bodyguard for tonight. He could not let his guard down. It’s better to have someone strong beside him. Especially that he did not know all of his opponents.

“Boss? Do you mean... You already found another job?”

“Yes, Aunt Caire.”

“Oh, is that the reason why you’re staying outside a lot these past days?” Although Aunt Claire said it naturally, he could feel the underlying meaning behind it– a teasing one. Beside him, his sister darted her eyes from him and to Night.

On the other hand, Night was acting so silent with acting that looked like a real noble young lady. Well, she had many references where she could learn. Especially in the anime. “Young lady Sol, sorry if we made you feel uncomfortable,” Yeman said his sorry to Night.

She sent an eye to him before her eyes blinked twice. “I’m not. Regardless, you have a lovely sister.”

“R-Really?” Eina blushed. She didn’t expect that the beautiful lady would say it.

Wow, he didn’t expect that her acting was so good. Although Eina was truly a lovely kid.

Yeman introduced Night as Sol Reia. A noble and his current boss. In which he was working as her bodyguard. With this, no one would suspect if the two of them were often together.

While they were traveling towards their destination, Night as Sol was able to converse naturally with Eina and Aunt Claire.

For some reason, she was good at acting. Maybe she could become a popular celebrity on earth. Yeman thought so.

He glanced outside as the carriage entered the main city gates. Many night dwellers pouring the street. The road was so busy with people and carriages. There were even some soldiers striding at the roadside. Some were on their feet while some were walking with their mates.

Yeman was surprised to realize that the main city of the empire was bustling even at night. Or perhaps, the reason for it was the banquet. But he pushed the thought at the back of his mind. Since it was them ain city of the empire, it was only natural that people would gather here.

At first, he thought of not coming to the banquet as he yet to absorb the sudden change of his life, but he changed his mind after reading the diary of the past host.

Since his and her sister’s life were unsafe, it was better to figure out more things. Especially knowing your opponent. He wasn’t expecting to know them on the spot. But perhaps, coming to the banquet was more fruitful than mulling inside the house.

Using his telepathy, he contacted Uno, one of his captains. They needed to prepare every time. So that when the time calls it, they were more than ready to strike.
