Capítulo 14: Body Constitution

"Nouveau riche? Why do you use the derogatory term to refer to yourself, Kisaragi-san?" Mike scratched his head in confusion.

"It's nothing, I just don't want you to look nervous. It's my mansion, I invite you to visit my home, Mike-san." Yuna waved her hand in front of her face and smiled casually.

"..." Mike fell silent, but in his mind, he thought this young lady at least wasn't arrogant or lofty attitude... Like some kind of annoying rich people in his former sect.

The car stopped in front of the mansion, then Alfred got out of the car to open the car door for Yuna.

"We're here. Let's get out of the car. Allow me to host you to dinner with my family." Yuna got out of the car after giving a polite, inviting gesture to Mike.

Meanwhile, Mike thought for a moment. A free meal was great, but dinner with this rich young lady's family? Did this young lady really want to recruit him to work for her? What made this young lady want him?

Despite some doubts in his mind, Mike still got out of the car and followed Yuna from behind.

Before entering the mansion, Mike looked back to check the gate.

A little far past the flower gardens, he could see a butler, probably on duty, around the mansion's gate.

"Mike-sama, please come in." Alfred gave a gentle reminder for Mike to come in immediately.

"O-okay, Mr. Alfred." Mike stepped in through the white mansion's entrance, and an interior that looked elegant and luxurious greeted his first glance. That room was actually still the living room, though.

He felt a little uncomfortable with the residence that he might call a small palace for some inexplicable reason. But, what could he do about it? He had gotten used to living in a simple hut in a leading sect in the last three years of his life.

"You can take a good look around my mansion later, Mike-san. For now, please follow Alfred. I need to do something before dinner." After saying that, Yuna looked at the old butler. "Alfred, please 'guide' Mike-san."

"As you wish, ojou-sama." Alfred put his hand to his side chest.

"Good. See you at the dinner table, Mike-san." Yuna waved her hand once, then went away into the mansion.

"Mike-sama, please follow me. You need to change your clothes before dinner." Alfred pointed his palm to show the direction.

"Alright." Mike just nodded. Then, he walked with the old butler deeper into the mansion.

They only needed to enter the central hall, and a maid was already waiting nearby. She brought a neatly folded set of clothes and a cool black backpack.

"Mike-sama, please accept this as compensation for your clothes and bag." Alfred took the set of clothes and the bag, then gave them to Mike.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Alfred. Then, may I know where the dressing room is?" Mike received the compensation that had been promised beforehand.

"Please follow me." Alfred led once more, and Mike followed from the side. They headed to an empty room on the first floor.

"You can change your clothes here, Mike-sama. Dinner will be ready in thirty minutes. I'll be back to let you know." Alfred opened the door of the room and pointed the room with his palm.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Alfred." Mike walked into a room that he could say was luxurious. It was looking too good and comfortable that he didn't dare to touch anything.

"For confirmation, do you need anything? Like help?" Alfred didn't just walk away. He was a little worried because Mike was still injured and might find it difficult to change clothes alone.

"No, thank you." Mike replied with a polite refusal.

"Alright, I'll be back in 30 minutes. Therefore, allow me to excuse myself." Alfred put his hand on his chest and walked backward. He closed the door carefully and left Mike alone in the room.

Mike just heaved a sigh, then crouched down. He moved all his belongings from the old bag to the new one. After that, he took off his hospital shirt.

One strange thing, he didn't feel any pain or sting like he did about 30 minutes ago. He tried to pat his wound on several different areas, but he didn't feel any pain either. Even so, he didn't dare to open his bandages just to satisfy his curiosity.

"Well, whatever." Mike just shrugged his shoulders and then took off all his clothes, except his underwear. He wore black pants and a white t-shirt that somehow fit perfectly on his body.

After that, he put that hospital outfit into his old bag to join the bloody old clothes. He was going to throw them away later.

"Okay, now what? I just need to wait in silence and serenity." Mike sat cross-legged on the floor. He recalled everything that happened that day.

"Sigh... My first day in Tokyo was very turbulent. That strange thief, arrogant young master, got to the near death event, then this ultra rich young lady." Mike scratched his head. Right now, he only hoped to know more about Yuna because he had to approach Miss Fortune for the common good.

"Wait a minute... Am I left alone like this for 30 minutes because they're preparing to do something bad to me? I didn't do anything wrong, did I? Or, I'm actually going to be sold?" Mike crawled over to the door and pressed his ear to the ground with his eyes closed.

He used a survival technique that he learned to find out the existence of living things around him. Yet, he couldn't detect anyone around him. So, he was really left alone without any strange bad intentions. Perhaps, the maids and butlers were preparing dinner?

Mike was not sure what Yuna wanted from him. He intended to approach Yuna in his own style, but the current situation was the exact opposite. It was Yuna herself that made him come to her instead.

"Kisaragi-san previously asked me to work for her? What kind of job does she want to offer? She doesn't know anything about me nor does she know me. So what's her motive?" Mike returned cross-legged on the floor once again. He put his hand on his chin as he entered his train of thought.

At that point, Mike wouldn't have figured it out on his own, and it would have been too rude to ask frankly. Because he didn't know what else to do, he chose to explore his Miss Fortune System.

The Fortune Point was still at number 25, then the quest screen and his own status. All three corners had been explored, but Mike found a different one in the lower-left corner of his vision.

As he glanced there with focus, a screen suddenly popped out in the lower-left corner of his vision.

<| Miss Fortune (1): Kisaragi Yuna (21/100 | Attraction) |>

"Wait what is this? Is it possible that Kisaragi-san is interested in me?" After saying that in a whisper-like voice, Mike just shook his head while covering his mouth. He refused to believe in such a ridiculous idea. "That's impossible, right? I'm a fool to think that. Maybe she wants something from me, hmm... Well, this can be a win-win situation that isn't bad."

"It would be best if I asked Kisaragi-san a few things about this before I make any decisions. This is a very dangerous double-edged sword. This world is too cruel for the lone me who doesn't have any background." Mike put aside the thought of Yuna's invitation first.

But, he started wondering about Yuna's family. For such a luxurious mansion on such beautiful grounds, perhaps the Kisaragi Clan was a noble family. There were also some maids and butlers.

"Kisaragi Yuna, Kisaragi Clan... What kind of banner am I going to enter?" Mike asked in wonder, but he put that aside again with conviction in mind. 'I hope they don't get involved in politics or I have no other choice but to decline this invitation for whatever reason.'

After convincing himself, Mike closed his eyes to meditate. His status screen shown that he was in Elementary Spirit Realm: Peak Stage, but he needed to confirm that.

Entering into serenity, Mike felt a stream of spirit energy coursing through his body. However, he could only see a stream of bright white-colored energy that leaned slightly toward gray with his mind's eye. So, his system was working correctly.

Yet, he was pleasantly surprised to realize that he had 54 Spirit Veins! As far as he knew, he only had 10, but his Spirit Veins suddenly became 54, the highest number a human could have? Did he possess Exquisite Supreme Body now?

The chosen human with exceptionally gifted talent, and that was what the legends said. Even though the numbers were too few that fingers could possibly count them.

As Mike wondered about his body constitution, he was reminded of the one notification he got before he fell unconscious. Lady System gave it as the unknown reward!

With a happy and flowery heart, Mike opened his eyes instantly. But one rather sad thing immediately came to his mind. 'Could it be that Kisaragi-san already realized about my body constitution? Does she want my body?'
