Kapitel 12: Gathering Information
So in summary, it is an extremely important day for this House Starforge.
Outside of the tent, there were so many lights from torches. Bonfire lights up very brightly into the air. Illuminating the night forest with its radiance.
Looks just like your usual bonfire party on earth. Where college students drink beers, get high, and some other stupid stuff.
The soldier bonding to one another with various activities such as making a circle at a campfire. They talk about their opinion on various things life related. Some laugh, some serious, some drunk.
Many of them scattered on the camp and go to their own one or two friends to hangout.
A mischievous thought flew over his head. 'Can I injure someone or even kill as a pet?'
He glanced at Ben and his father that talked with one of their lieutenants on the other side of the camp.
'Strange, did he know that his pet is on the other side of the camp?' ponders Villian.
The boy strikes him as a not strict person. And that is good for Villian. But it may be different if Villian makes a mistake that costs him the fake freedom.
The Astral chain does not exist when he is in his body. But, also the distance is quite long. Over 20 meters before a cold steel grips his neck.
The reddish brown sabertooth is glad that the broken skill [Tame] can give him an ample amount of privacy from that boy.
Everyone is still wary of a sabertooth in their ranks. Whenever the reddish brown sabertooth tried to go near one of them, the soldier go as far as creating their own distance against Villian.
'There is no real way to know if I can hurt anyone, except …'
The sabertooth crosses all of his legs and pretends to sleep.
By time, one by one the soldier is getting bolder enough to approach him, knowing that the sabretooth is already sleeping.
Villian partially removes his soul from his right front paw while the rest of them are still intact with the body, and pinches the soul of the leg on one of the soldiers that turn his back on the sabertooth.
When he was still Zyrral, he could not interfere with others' souls. As his [Spirit Channeling] was not that strong.
The soldier screamed all of the sudden. Gaining the attention of anyone nearby.
The red man looked like he wanted to scream but quickly shut his mouth. He then walks to the nearby soldier and speaks in a low tone, "W-was that sabertooth just claws me?"
His friend shook his head. Claiming that he did not see the whole thing.
The victim surely gets away from the sabertooth.
'Strange.' Villian ponders again for a bit.
This is not what he thinks in mind when doing silly stuff to someone.
'Not just the one who I pinch with my soul seemed scared, the one who the guy talked to next was also showing a rather anxious face.
Both of them talked in a whispered kind of voice.
This dawned on the Villian's mind.
They are scared not because of a wild animal lurking amongst them. But they are scared because this is not your common wild animal. This is the animal of the son of the ruler of this army.
It means that Villian got the treatment of a king's pet. His status may be higher than the status of the highest ranking of a soldier.
The soldier of course did not dare to ruin the happy moment of a lord with an incident that had the potential of misunderstanding.
One thing he has not known is whether there is a punishment for disobedience. Seeing as Ben did not unleash something that really hurt Villian. Except, the way that Ben retracted his arms toward himself, making the astral chain only had a range of 3 meters before it began tightening around Villian's neck.
But he saw for a moment that Ben seemed to struggling and fall on the floor while holding the astral chain.
'Is there something that can make me to snatch that chain?' Villian thinks to himself
"Hey come here boy!" Ben snapped his index finger to his thumb in his right hand, while holding a piece of meat in his left hand. He waves it to lure Villian to come to his side.
Meanwhile, Villian has conflicted feelings. The delicious mutton processed by humans smells amazing. Far better than the raw meat that the sabertooth hunt and eat on the spot.
On the other hand, the thought of being someone's 'good boy' is really sickening. To the point that he wants to kill himself if someone says that word to him.
"What do you want?" asked Villian not hiding his embarrassment.
Other humans do not seem to notice that Villian spoke the language of humans. He too saw the reaction of Ben, surprised when everyone apart from him did not freaking out.
The two look at Villian. His dad suddenly tapped his shoulder. "You and that sabertooth are going to magic school, Ben."
"WHAT THE F*CK!" Like adding salt to the wounds, Villain shouted. Everyone was immediately alarmed because they translated those words as a strong growl
School is the last thing that Villian wanted to do as a sabertooth. Obviously he is not an adult that needs another lesson in math, physics, biology, etc.
But Villian is thinking again. The dad said it is a magic school after all. Villian can learn new spells and all.
'Maybe I can learn a spell to be free from this astral chain.' He thinks to himself.
Ben seems to not be stunned by the roar. On the contrary, his face frowned and his mouth not uttering words.
"Ok Father!" responded Ben. The previous happiness in his face immediately went away.
"Good. In the early morning I will assign people to escort you back to the capital. "Make me proud, okay?"
The dad left them alone.
The urge to possess the dad and undo the things he just said is through the roof. But Villian need confirmation from Ben first. Or else, the misstep would be proven fatal in coming days.
The two of them glared at each other.
"You don't like school?" asks Villian trying to break the ice.
"Yeah, it was because back then as a [Beastmaster], The damn skill won't get me any tamer. Everybody bullies me, teacher, student alike."
Villian gives a chuckle in his heart.
