Chapter 190: My hunt begins (2)



They were very good at what they do and I couldn\'t find them till now. I believe that the reason was because of the call I heard and the changes in my movement, which caused them to change their movement.

Not knowing why I changed my direction, they were cautious and released one of their skills that can survey the surroundings and it alerted me of their positions.

Once I got their coordinates, I used the Tag & Track skill to mark all three. From now on, even though their stealth level is so much higher, I can still track them.

Now that I know where they are, I can sense what they are up to. If they make any moves against me or if they find out anything about me that can\'t be made public, I\'ll eliminate them promptly.

If the stupid old mayor makes a move against me, then I can use the academy as my backer.

The Mayor after all sent someone to spy on one of the students of the Royal Academy who came to help them in the first place per their request. So, they should have treated me much better than they did.

Now adding some spies who are watching me, would make things only worse for the mayor, even if the Count is behind him and doing these things through him.

I have nothing to fear, as the academy would back me up if the mayor thinks that he can make a move against me. Moreover, they owe me for the fiasco with Dorian and William.

Without my proof, they would have hung the wrong person for crimes that were not crimes. Well, the wronged one would have been me, but still, I did them a lot of favour and they owe me for that. If required I would take that favor.

Anyway, that was only after the fact that I will have to kill those spies and the Mayor makes a move against me. Unless that happens, I don\'t need to fret.

Now let\'s see who the mysterious caller was, who was making those sounds.

---

I can\'t make out which direction those sounds are coming from.

More than that, there is something that I discovered about these sounds. I am sure that I am not hearing them but "hearing" them. The sounds seemed to be reaching my mind directly rather than following the normal procedure of going through my ears.

This was because of the notification that I received a few seconds ago.

--

Your MIND DEFENCE skill has levelled up.

--

Yeah, I had this skill for ages but didn\'t have a proper way to improve that. Anything related to the mind is rare, whereas related to the soul is almost non-existent.

That is why instead of wasting time looking to improve my Mind Skills, I rather used my time on improving what I could unless there was a need to improve a skill that is usually not easy to do so.

One of the ways to improve any skill is to use it.

Unlike attack skills that can be improved by directly using them on others, defence skills are a bit different. Someone has to attack you and that attack power shouldn\'t be too high than your defence skill level or else it wouldn\'t matter.

My mind took that sound as an attack but it is weak or else with a Level 1 skill, I would have been a puppet for whomever was on the other end.

Hmm, I should concentrate on improving my defence skills this year. I don\'t have that many and what I have are at very low levels. For now, my rank is more than enough to act as a way to defeat others but there was nothing that could protect me from surprise attacks.

I mean I have a lot of resistances, which can be considered as Defence skills in a way but I don\'t have resistance to every attack.

It means I am vulnerable to a lot of attacks, including mind attacks and soul attacks.

My Soul Power may be high but I don\'t have a way to protect myself against soul-based attacks. Though there was almost no information regarding souls, I don\'t think that there was none.

There should be but the information might be classified and probably requires merits to read the information.

I mean, Soul Attacks are dangerous. Even if the kingdom has information about these types of attacks, I don\'t think that they have skills that can heal injured souls.

Though I don\'t have any information, I can guess that damage to souls may end the life of the person or reduce them into a cripple of some kind and no one would be able to help them.

I mean there are skills that can help regrow lost limbs. Even if those skills fail, there are prosthetics that I didn\'t see in this world as of now but one day maybe someone will invent them and that won\'t be long, I assume with how developed this world is.

I doubt that even with the world having magic, damage to souls or even the mind may be difficult to mend that easily. So it is best to avoid damage to those two or else one can forget about living a life.

I can say that I am lucky enough at this point. Whatever is calling me, isn\'t using too much power. The power is at the limit where my skill can block its interference on my mind and improve my skill level at the same time.

This can be considered as luck on my part.

I should be well prepared for my next adventure, thoroughly. Only fools would depend on luck. Moreover, I don\'t think luck would be on my side always.

---

Hmm, those three were following me.

I wonder whether they are following me or following the sound. Maybe I should test that a bit.

I am getting tired of these fools. I can\'t use everything that I have. If I did so, then that information would be recorded and would reach the table of the mayor.

Once it does, there is no way that it will disappear. I can make it disappear but that would take time and more the time that it takes to happen so, the more people would know about my secrets. It would be a hassle.

I waited too long. I didn\'t want to end those three and become a possible target of the mayor but I see no other choice.

With the restrictions brought upon me by the presence of those three, I couldn\'t do my job properly. If I had to find out what happened to those merchants and their group, then I have to use the skills required at that moment but doing so would expose their existence.

Before I am strong enough to protect myself, most of my power would be a secret.

If others see that I am powerful at such a young age, they would try to woo me to join their factions or would kill me if I refused. Even if they take action as a son of a noble at the bottom rung of the nobles, I can\'t directly retaliate.

It would entangle my entire family into the bloody affair, which wouldn\'t be easy to get out of.

So the simple way was to keep my powers secret until it was time to unveil them to the world. Once I have enough strength, they wouldn\'t dare to do anything that may incur my wrath upon them.

The problem was that though my rank is near my goal, my skills are nowhere near where they were supposed to be.

The final decision is that I have to get rid of those pesky watchers that has been following me from the time I left Endis. Even if that puts me in the crosshairs of the mayor, I can easily defend myself if that is brought to court.

Afterall, they are watching me from the dark and that could make them assassins waiting to kill me. rather than waiting and die, i could say that I acted before they did. There is now way that anyone would find fault wth me.

I can even pose a question on why they were following me, which would shut up the mayor. Moreover, my family has no connections here and I wouldn\'t return to region again. So there would be no need to be afraid of the mayor.

No matter what, his reach wouldn\'t be able to stretch all the way to the capital or my home.

Let\'s kill those damn flies.
