Reincarnation Skill System: Idris Beaufort's Revenge

Ch 007

The cool breeze kissed his cheeks and he stretched out his arms feeling the new sensation though he was slightly scared to fall down. How beautiful and clear the sky looked! Unlike the world he lived in, this world was totally different. It looked rather pure and more beautiful but the world he lived in was harsher than one could imagine. 

"My Lord, it is time to go." At Adam's reminder, Idris nodded his head, "Yeah, let's go." And he jumped over the wall. 

"Adam, later you will show Mr. And Mrs. Eckes their room. And you didn't forget what to say if someone asks who they are right?

Adam bobbed his head and Idris gave them a small smile before heading towards his room. Just when he was on the door, surprisingly Merle ran to them with Sasha following behind.

"Mother..." Awestruck, he didn't know what to say. What if Merle already found out about his absence for the past few days? What would she do to him since he strictly told him not to go out? Many questions clouded his mind.

Merle looked at him with worry and said, "Oh my, you became so skinny in these three days. My son, I'm sorry that mother couldn't be of any help when you had a fever."

"Fever?" Hearing her, Idris looked confused. Merle looked at him when Sasha quickly walked to him and pinching his arm she uttered sheepishly, "Brother, you had a fever. Did you forget? Oh, is it because you had a fever that you are forgetting things huh?"

"Haha, yeah I had a fever. It's because of the fever that I keep forgetting things."

"Oh no, call for the doctor we..." Idris quickly stopped Merle as she was freaking out. "Mother, it's ok. I'm recovering, I'll soon be better."

"Are you sure? You don't seem fine to me." Merle looked at him worriedly.

"Yes, mother. Look at my smile , I'm absolutely fine. Give me some time, I will recover faster."

"Fine but if you feel uneasy anywhere then do tell me right away." 

"Yes, mother. Please stay worry free." Idris hugged Merle and let go of his breath that he had been holding onto.

After Merle was gone, Sasha quickly walked to him. "I apologise, I had no other choice but to lie to my mother that you have a contagious fever so it is not advised to go outside nor can people meet you."

"It's ok, thanks to you. Everything went well, sister." Idris uttered thankfully.

"How was it? Did you find what you went to the town for?" As Sasha asked, he nodded in agreement. "Yes and I need you to meet some people."

"Who are they?" Sasha questioned curiously. Since there were only a handful of people living in the palace, Sasha felt thrilled to meet new people.

"Adam." As soon as Idris called out, the couple showed up with Adam. "They are..."

"Meet Mr. Reiki and his wife, Alexa. They are my benefactors. And this is my sister, Sasha Beaufort."

"Greetings, Lady Sasha."

"Nice to meet you too."

Sasha stared at Idris for answers so Idris said, "They had nowhere to go and they saved me so I've decided that from now on, they will be living here."

"Ahh ok. Welcome to the... Ice Palace." Sasha knew that there was more than what it looked like. Knowing her brother wouldn't tell her the reason behind everything, Sasha didn't want to ask anymore.

A day passed in the blink of an eye. Being tired because of travelling so much, Idris didn't leave his room.

Knock!

"Come in!"

"It's me, My Lord." Walking in the room, Reiki shut the door. Seeing him, Idris sat on the bed and asked, "So have you found a way out yet?"

Idris decided to work on his second mission as soon as possible and Reiki also agreed to help him the minute he wanted.

"Yes, first I'll try to heal you with my healing power. Please take your shirt off and sit on this mattress." Reiki assured.

As per his instructions, as Idris removed his shirt, Reiki was shocked. In the body of an eleven year old boy, he could see so many scars. Neglecting everything he sat on the mattress just behind Idris.

Shutting his eyes Idris could feel the strong spiritual power exceeding from Reiki.

Around them a glowing blue coloured circle could be seen that only people with spiritual power could see.

Everything felt good until suddenly something felt off and in a swift, both were pushed away from each other in the opposite direction of each other.

Shocked by the sudden strength, Idris settled on the ground. His eyes widened the moment he noticed Reiki struggling to breathe, he got worried. "Mr. Eckes, what just happened?"

Struggling to breathe, Reiki felt suffocated. The colour of his face was gone as he looked at him.

"Mr. Eckes." Worried, Idris called out.

For a moment Reiki kept lying on the ground until he could finally breathe normally.

"What exactly happened? You don't look so good." 

"I apologise but... I don't think that I can unbind your mana force." He voiced, stuttering.

"But why?"

"When I tried to reach close to your mana source, I felt something like demonic power."

"What? You mean..."

"I'm not sure yet what exactly it was but I can tell that it was something quite powerful. I need to check it again to see what exactly is stopping your mana force from unbinding." As Reiki said so, Idris looked at his hand. Though he couldn't understand what it was, Idris could feel a weird aura circulating around his fingers.

"Then let me..."

Seeing Reiki struggling to get up, Idris started putting on the shirt. "No, we will do it later. For now, you need to rest. You must have lost a good amount of your healing power in order to help me."

"But, My Lord. It's absolutely al..."

"Mr. Eckes."

Walking to Reki, he smiled at him, "I want you to be real to me when we are working together. Now, you may go rest. We will do it after you recover your healing power completely."

Hearing him, Reiki let out a sigh and bowed his head, "Then I shall take my leave. Good night, My Lord."

After he left, Idris laid on the soft bed. Looking at the ceiling he muttered, "I'm sure Mr. Eckes has lost a good deal of healing power even though he tried looking all fine... What could be that strong thing that is stopping me from unbinding my mana power and why?"

° One week later °

Knock!

To get back his healing power, it took Reiki nearly seven days. Thankfully, Merle didn't ask any questions about the couple nor did she show any curiosity to know about them.

On a thin cloth Idris was seated while facing the north. Entering the room Reiki sat just behind him. They both shut their eyes and Reiki raised his hand in the air. 

The blue circle started glowing around them, but as time passed by the circle was changing its colours. Idris felt his heart loaded with something heavy and his hand started trembling. To go to its end, he forced himself to keep his eyes shut but it was getting unbearable.

Suddenly Reiki opened his eyes. He seemed rather shocked, covering his mouth in utter disbelief.

"What did you see?" Seeing him covering his mouth with his hands Idris guessed it was probably nothing good. 

"Young Lord..."

"Say it worries free."

"Fine then I will be honest." With a sigh and heavy tone Reiki started, "I didn't go near the source of your mana force so I am fine and since it's inside of you, you might have felt sick and with a heavy heart."

"Yes, I did."

"What I found out is that it's all because of the mystic aura inside of you."

"Mystic aura?"

"Yes, something that stops the body from unbinding any kind of spiritual power, it makes the body weak as the days passes and makes the body severely sick. I don't know about it in detail but I once heard about it so I know this much."

"Do you know how to get rid of it?"

"Unfortunately, I don't."

Idris fell in the ocean of despair. 'If I can't unbind my mana power then I'll be stuck here forever and Idris...' 

"Then do you know how someone can have a mystic aura? I mean it's not a 'born thing', is it?"

"No, as far as I know. It takes at least 10 years to prepare it, so they must have used some kind of toxins to apply it on you since they can't put the aura directly inside a living being. Maybe mix it with tea or some food."

"Oh my God!"

"My Lord, I am sorry I can't be of any help for now. Please give me a week, I need to do my research. I promise to give you a satisfactory answer, I'm sure I'll find a way out." Seeing him talking so determinedly, Idris called out, "Mr. Eckes."

"What's wrong?"

"You know my situation. Do you still want to help me?"

"Yes."

"Why?" To see, he was still not running away or afraid Idris really was curious. Where people wanted to hurt him, did he really find gold?

"Because.... I see it's worth it. You are someone that I want to lead on becoming the Duke of Montana, isn't that what you want? My Lord."

The room fell silent again, both of them kept staring at each other until they both gave up. Idris hasn't told anyone about his plans yet, so I think Reiki could understand his plan so fast... 

"Fine, you may take your time."

Idris saw the weird blue light circling around his fingers but this time it was much darker than before.

'I was not given any of these details from Skie, is there more about Idris that I don't know about? Will Reiki be able to find a solution? It's only a week, isn't it? Let's wait and see.'
