Capítulo 11: [11]A Gift Called Love
A/N: Finally I finished my semester. When I did my Chem final my teacher caught me off guard my asking for EVERYINES phones, not just mine this time. because of that I couldn't deny or make a scene saying that he was targeting me specifically.
I had no choice but to give it to him...or did I?
After that time, he asked for my phone that one test to prove myself, I began to carry around a dummy phone in case he pulled that shit again. I managed to change the phone cases of both phones and gave him the dummy phone.
But even then, it was hard to cheat, he was watching me like a hawk.
But I came prepared.
In case I wasn't able to use my phone, I also planted my laptop under one of the chairs right outside of the class.
I secretly wrote the problems on a paper, folded it, and shoved it under my sleeve.
He didn't notice a thing when I asked to go to the bathroom.
I then went outside, took my laptop from under the chair and went to the bathroom and searched up the problems using a reliable AI I use.
I then wrote down the answers on the paper I wrote down the problems on and also took pictures of the answers on the computer since my writing was shit, I wasn't going to risk failing because I couldn't understand my own writing.
In the end, I got a 79%
Stand proud teach, you were strong.
-Meliodas POV-
I silently walked through the halls of the house, not wanting to wake up the kids who had just fallen asleep. After a few seconds, I finally arrived at my room and locked the door behind me.
Today was rather weird for me. First i got a job when I'm supposed to explore the world and goo on adventures, now I'm just going do jobs to pay the bills(Children). Second, I met MULTIPLE characters from animes' that shouldn't exist in this world. And even weirder, they all tried getting...chummy with me.
There was also this moment back then when Ban...disappeared
No, that's not right.
It felt like he had moved so fast that I wasn't able to sense him anymore.
But that shouldn't be possible, right?
I've sensed his soul and the quantity of [Reiryoku] it produces, he's at most at the soul strength of a normal human whose health and lifestyle are at its peak. But at the same time, I also sensed the same from Elaine; and she's definitely not normal. Not when she has can control and use what I call "Mana"
Remember when I said that her wind didn't feel like the wind used by a Vision wielder, who are only able to use those visions by manipulating Elemental Energy?
Yeah, my hunch was right.
The transition between manipulating her [Reiatsu] and transforming it into this "Mana" was quick, but I was able to see the process.
She flowed her [Spiritual Energy] through her body and then moved it to her head. Somehow, some way, it turned into "Mana" and she used it to create wind.
Thats why the wind her magic created felt like it didn't have a "Mold", it was because she created it with magic, in which can be turned and used in other forms besides creating wind.
Which was the opposite of elemental energy in which there are only certain forms it has (Anemo, Hydro, Geo, Electro, Cryo, Dendro), it has a mold and strictly set rules.
Yeah, they're both hiding their strength. And they are ridiculously strong if they are able to hide it from the one guy that's ridiculously soul sensitive.
Perhaps this mana is similar to Cursed Energy since they are both related with the connection between mind and soul?
Oh, by the way, remember that reward I was supposed to obtain when I saved the kids?
yeah, it was a cursed technique.
A personally tailored technique.
-------------
<[Cursed Technique: Wrath
-Ability: This ability allows the user to obtain increased strength, health recovery, and energy regeneration depending on how much anger, sadness, depression, and negative feeling and thoughts as a whole the user is feeling. After a certain threshold is reached, the user may be able to use !*(&&*($T&*(@$*(^@&)%*()@*$^@*(@
-------------
Busted, right?
it's basically a sort of berserker skill that allows me to continue fighting the more negative emotion I feel. And about the censored part of the skill, I think once I pass that "Threshold' I will be able to use darkness.
And I'm not talking about the darkness I can use due to [Odin], I'm talking about demonic darkness, like the one Meliodas uses in the [7 Deadly Sins]. Ya know, the "get my arm chopped off and I reconnect it back with darkness" type of darkness.
And how do I know that?
I don't...
These are all speculations from observations I've made when using my cursed technique.
My cursed technique manifests in the form of a dragon eating its own tail in a circle, basically Meliodas's "Sin of Wrath" tattoo.

And once activated, these sorts of dark veins begin to sprout out from the tattoo and spread throughout my boy. The more negative I am the more those dark veins spread throughout my body and empower me.
But it seems like Ban was interested in it.
I may not have been able to sense him or feel him move at all, but I sure as hell could feel him sliding up my sleeve to see the tattoo on my arm.
The feeling of the fabric on my skin suddenly changed when I suddenly felt the strange sensation of Ban "Disappearing", meaning that he rolled up my sleeve and saw the tattoo for whatever reason he had.
Seems like I'll need to keep an eye on him from now on.
-Months Later-
It's been a while since that day. I've gone back to the restaurant a few times by myself, I can't deny that the food is STUPIDLY good, worth every risk I'm taking.
So far nothing like what happened that night transpired again.
Well, except the unusually chumyness Ban has with me. He treats me like as if I was an old friend that had just returned after years of disappearing.
...meh, maybe I'm just overthinking it.
During this time I've also begun to teach the kids common stuff like writing(Teyvat main language is spoken in English but it has a different dialect from English when written), mathematics, and science. You know, the basics.
Surprisingly the system supplies me with the info so that I can reach them. Thank God it did becuase learning everything by book and having to teach the kids as well would have been the death of me.
But so far no rewards. Well, I guess the knowledge I'm gaining along the way could be considered a "reward"
"Haa~~ that's enough" I muttered as I dropped my sword on the grass below me.
Sweat trickled down every orifice of my body.
I've been constantly training everyday in the morning, I've made myself make it a habit.
I can feel my body getting stronger than it was and my stamina increasing. The only thing that isn't getting better is my skill.
Yes I'm training, but the only type of "training" I'm doing is physical training, not "skill" type training.
I don't know where to start or what to do, all I can do is to continue swinging and hope my swinging gets stronger.
I could probably ask Mr. Duncan for some training but he's been hinting at me that I should join the Knights of Favonius.
Knowing him, hell probably say something along the lines of "Sure, I'll teach 'ya personally. But you'll need to join the knights first!"
Yeah, Definitely can't ask him.
Maybe I could-
*Tug*
I felt a sudden tug on my sweat drenched pants. Looking down I was met with Esdeath's face, and a...ladle at hand?
"Train..." She softly muttered.
Train?
Oh, does she...?
I kneeled down to her level "you want to train with Dad?" I asked the chibi Esdeath.
Although her face was still a bit cold and expressionless, the excitement and determination in her eyes were evident. She nodded her head small vigorously.
It is at times like these that I'm happy I picked up the kids, they make me feel something...foreign.
The way they follow me around while looking at me with adoration and affection, it makes me feel a way I have never felt before. Mostly because I came from a family filled with shity people.
I think it's called, affection.
It's not like this was the first time I had ever felt that feeling, but I've only had those feelings for my cats and dogs or my closest friends, never a family (Once again, they are all shity people).
Huh, this feeling isn't bad at all.
"Alright sweetie, lets train!" i said with a smile, taking away the ladle from her hands.
In a second i manifested a small but blunt sword made of [Reishi] and handed it to her. Esdeath looked at the blue glittering sword in awe.
Most people aren't able to sense [Reishi], the exceptions are when the energy is put in highly concentrated forms, like when formed into an item. Just like the [Reishi] sword I had given her.
[System has recognized Esdeath Pendragon as title of "Daughter", bestowing basic swordsmanship to teach]
A flood of knowledge suddenly flowed into my head; stances, forms, and sword basics were engraved into my memory.
Fuck, why didn't I think of it before! I just need to try and "teach" stuff I want to know, and have the system bestowed me the knowledge so that I can teach her as well!
It's basically a loophole for free knowledge.
Hehehehe~
I looked back at my adorable daughter who was still looking at the [Reishi] sword in awe. You and I are going to have a lot of training from now on!
[Special reward shall be granted once "Esdeath's" swordsmanship reaches "C-Rank"]
Hm, good. Now I have a goal for her, no, for everyone.
