“Adopted?! Really?!”
Once he heard the truth, Bin was truly shocked. He gawked at the embarrassed Cecile, a frown slowly surfacing on his face.
“Are you sure she’s the same person?”
In terms of appearance, Cecile was more or less the same. Her hair has grown much longer but that was about it. Her attitude, however, was the total opposite. No longer was she arrogant and antagonistic… she has become a docile and obedient girl.
“You mean to tell me I have a younger sister now?”
Emilia expected Bin to be against her decision to legally adopt Cecile. Surprisingly, he just laughed and went along with it, voicing no
“Good mornin-” The next day, early in the morning, Bin went downstairs only to find another unexpected face. It was a young girl wearing a pretty white dress and brightly smiling back at him. He only recognized her thanks to the notebook she was hugging. “Ryne?” She enthusiastically nodded her head and scribbled on the notebook, greeting him back. Not only did she grow much taller but she now looked or behaved like a kid, though she was still deprived of her voice, unfortunately. “When Bert left Abyss, he had taken her with him.” As the whole family, including Cecile and Ryne, were having breakfast, Elise proceeded to provide a brief explanation a
Now in a foreign and unfamiliar world, Bin was feeling slightly lost. He wandered the forest, fascinated by the multi-colored plants, moving trees, and unique animals. It was a totally new experience, which widened his perspective and made him feel totally out of place.Although he was interested in exploring the whole forest, Bin focused more on finding a human settlement. However, despite the peacefulness of the forest, its strange inhabitants were in a state of chaos, all migrating to another place in large groups. The enormous moving trees were releasing deep anxious sounds, not even paying attention to him.The rift hanging in the sky was a sign of the incoming doom, a warning for everyone to retreat to a safe place. Everything was acting based on their survival instinct, trying to get as far away from this place as possib
Since the Giant Treant and its kin traveled at a moderately slow pace, they only reached the City of Scholars three days after meeting Bin.Over the course of this journey, Bin fought four times, excluding his first confrontation with the ‘Pests’. Rifts blocked their route, thus forcing Bin to intervene and dispose of the hideous monsters.With his newfound power and enhanced physical body, Bin was able to defeat the Pests with relative ease. Fortunately, his past lessons with Julia bore fruit, allowing him to simultaneously use Mana-coating to defend himself and Body Strengthening to significantly increase his body prowess.Furthermore, the Light Element is generally known as a good catalyst to enhance the body’s speed and reflexes. Admittedly, Bin was wea
“What is the matter, Miss Jasmine? Did you come here just to gawk at my face?” Bert, unfazed, looked back at her, his voice containing clear mockery. After glaring at him and not even trying to weaken the frightening and suffocating pressure she was emitting, she said, “Bin came to you first. Why?” “Ah! Is it about that? He was just greeting an old friend. What? Is that so wrong of him?” “Don’t give me that bullshit, Bert. He had very limited time.” “No, you’re wrong… again. You are still misunderstanding something. Bin is not who he once was. People change and
“I heard that the situation is still bad in the Sinking Depths. I really didn’t expect you to come all the way here.”Melissa, now the CEO of her company, was in her spacious and luxurious office at the top of the skyscraper. She just met up with her childhood friend, Jasmine, and the two were catching up. There had been slight friction between the two of them, but the two women ignored it and talked about the more serious stuff.“How can I not come? Bin appeared after eleven years. I wanted to meet him and clear up some things…”“Sadly, I didn’t get to meet him either. He talked with Bert for barely an hour before leaving. However, I was told he was a bit “Hey sir! Hey!”“?”“Take a look at our latest Circruit Stabilizer! For only Sixty Crysts, you’ll be able to efficiently control your Mana and strengthen your circuit!”“I’m not interested.”Bin was touring the busy streets of the city. Despite the looming doom, the stalls and shop owners were surprisingly enthusiastic. They were trying their best to sell their products to any passerby, especially the new faces like Bin.Bin had been stopped four times already, and despite kindly rejecting their offer, they would pester him in an annoying manner. They would latch onto him and use honeyed words to eLife as A Servant Chapter 430 : Not a Bad Guy
“You’re going to regret this!”Lenna was walking beside his friend Arbert with Bin right behind them. The two youngsters wanted to call for help but the street was devoid of passerby and they could be instantly killed if they tried anything, or so Bin repeatedly assured.“Less talking and more walking.”Bin had his hands on their shoulders, making sure they remained close and obedient. Though their conversation was brief, at least he got to know how they were planning to enter the institute without going through the machines, which were actually called Automated Golems.They diverged from the main path and entered a bushy area adjacent to the high fence surrounding the institute. Arbert
“P-professor Tanna is a teacher here… she… she…”“Don’t tell me the superficial stuff. I want to know about her full name, status here, and so on…”Arbert pensively nodded his head then continued, “Professor Tanna is eccentric… perhaps a bit crazy too. She teaches Mana Convergence, Mathematics, and History. I think she… she’s 30 years old. She became a teacher eleven years ago, and was declared to be a prodigy, but due to her slightly disturbing behavior, most people don’t take her too seriously.”“And?”“T-that’
