Chapter 53: Chapter 53 do you want me to teach you magic?
(MC pov)
I look at the David shocked face, I couldn't help but to chuckle, I feel like one of those mysterious person in the movies and stories.
First I will take care of David and his mother and then I will go to kill those animal gang people, I'm okay with killing them and I already stole a cigarette from one of their members when the attack happened, later I will use the Dowsing Rod Seeking skill and find them and kill them, if I only find that person that I stole the cigarette from alone I can only force him to answer me where he's friends are.
"Hi"I said
"Huh?"he didn't expect that a person appeared out of nowhere and saved his mother just say hi
"I said hi"I said
"Oh ah hello"he said after recovering from his shock
"Come on now, get out of the car"I said
He look out me for a second then struggles to get out and he finally succeeded.
Now that he's out I grab one side of the car and use chakra strengthening, aura strengthening and flip the car.
*BAM* I should have done it slowly
I saw that David just stare at me in shock, but soon he recovered, he probably thinks I have some kind of great cyberarms or something like that and that's why I can flip the upside down car.
"The car is damaged but I think it can still work"I said
"Who are you?"he finally asked that question
"First let's get your mother home so she can rest"I said and this makes him finally remember his mother and run toward her
"Mom mom, are you okay"he asked but Gloria is still unconscious
He look at her and checks on her and finally sigh in relief when he saw his mother is not in danger anymore.
He stand up and looks at me.
"I don't know who you are but thank you, thank you so much"he said sincerely
"Again, first let's bring you and your mother back to your home" I said and put my hand on the car and place the car in my inventory
"What the!?"David is of course shocked seeing something like that
"It's magic"I said
David opened his mouth but at the end he didn't say anything. He probably was going to say magic, really? Magic doesn't exists but swallowed his words after he saw what I did.
I go toward Gloria and pick her up.
"Stand close to me and don't move"I said and he nodded
I use teleportation skill, magic circles appeared and in a second we find ourselves in front of David's house.
I marked this place the moment I appeared here, it's what I do whenever I travel to a new world. Why did i use magic without caring if anyone saw me? Well with me planning to kill 1000 person, it's just a matter of time until some find out that I have weird abilities.
"How is this possible?"he asked and slowly touch the door to his house to make sure this is not a illusion.
"Magic"I said
I look at the door and said"unlock" then door open by itself, I don't need to say the skill name but I did it to proof myself more to David.
Unlock work on anything if it's a lock, it doesn't matter if this door can only get open using hands print.
I go inside without waiting for David but he followed me inside. I look around and everything is exactly like what I saw in series.
I put Gloria down on the couch.
"I'm thankful but really man who are you?"David asked with vigilant
Now that he's out of danger his mind start working better, it's normal to not trust a stranger looking like a clown even if that stranger saved your live.
I put my my coat, cane and the rest of unnecessary clothes in my inventory and deactivated the alter self and my face return to normal. Now I'm just wearing a white button up and black vest and black tie and a black and a black pants.
(3rd person pov)
With Edward stop disguising himself David was finally able to see the mysterious man after he recovered from his shock at how the some of this man clothes disappeared.
David saw a handsome face with a fit body, he saw that the man is young, probably his between 20 and 24 years old but he guessed that he might be older, David have read some story and in saw in some movies that some people using magic can make them self younger, of course he new it's all fantasy but he didn't know what to believe anymore.
"Coffee, I want a cup of coffee please"Edward said and sit down on the couch opposite of where Gloria is sleeping
David just looked at him like are you serious?
"I saved your mother, at least you can give me a cup of coffee"Edward said with a smile
Edward was right but David didn't like leaving him alone with his mother, and Edward understood him.
"If i wanted to harm you or your mother I would have done it by now"Edward said"bring me a cup of Espresso and then I will tell you who am I?"
Edward really want to try the coffee of the cyberpunk world, it's not because he wants to act mysterious.
David thought that the man's words make sense and slowly walked into the kitchen. Edward monitored David using observation haki, he wasn't afraid of getting poisoned and only wanted to see what David will do, he smiled when he saw David picking up a knife and hiding it.
after a few minutes David return with a cup of Espresso and place it on the table in front of Edward.
"Do you have a any chocolate? Edward asked, he also wants to see if the chocolate tastes different in this world
"No"David said, he couldn't believe such mysteries person is asking for a coffee and chocolate
"Pity"Edward said and look at his inventory, he wanted to take out the chocolates but he saw a thing he didn't have before, a create identity card! What is this?
(MC pov)
[This is from one of the abilities of normality skill, it can help you have a identity in this world, when you used you will get a id for this world ans usually you would be a orphan, you can choose some a few things like who is your parents and something like that but you can't choose something like a rich parents so you could get their money.
With this create identity card you will exist in the government system and all but no one will have seen you or talked with you so you will be just like a ghost]
Like a ghost? I like that but it won't be necessary, I don't need to proof anything to anyone in this world and it doesn't matter if I don't exist in government system so I won't use it.
I take out the chocolates from my Inventory.
I drink a little of the coffee, humm it taste a little different but I can't tell exactly what is different but it's not bad so I'm okay with it.
I put a piece of chocolate in my mouth and drink the rest of the coffee.
"Thank you"I said to David
"Your welcome, I think this is the moment you will tell me who are you"David said
"Well it's not easy for me to tell but"I said and show a fake awkward face with my acting skill and said" David I am your father!!"
(David pov)
The moment he said that he's my father I felt that the world is spinning. Before if someone this young would have said that he's my father, I would definitely beat the shit out of him but with all the magical things I saw I don't know how I should react.
Is he telling the truth? Is he really my father? Is this why mom never talk about my dad?
I have so many questions and I was going to ask him until
"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha"the man who said he's my father start laughing really hard
I froze and then i felt a strong rage. How dare he to joke about something like that. I know I can't defeat him probably but whatever.
I was going to get up and attack him but before that he raised his hand.
"I'm really sorry" the man said" now I will tell you the truth about who I am"
With that I calmed down a little but I'm still angry. I take a deep breath.
*Phew*
"Who are you?"I asked again
"My name is Edward Kenway"Edward said" and I'm a mage from another world!"
Never heard of someone with the name of Edward Kenway and I don't believe him, now I may accept something like magic because I think magic is just something that scientists haven't discovered and studied it yet or something like a unknown thing and we just call it magic but another world!? no I don't believe it.
He seems to see read my face that I don't believe him.
"Look you may not believe me but it's true"he said and wave his hand a make the cup float
"And look at me"he said" do you see any cyber parts on my body? I'm completely without cyber parts"
It's true, I already noticed that he doesn't have any cyber parts, not even the most common one. Is he really from another world?
"Why don't you take out that knife you hide and stab me with it, this way you can see how different I am"I said and David frozed" don't worry I'm not angry, I would do the same if I was you"
David hesitated a little but eventually took out the knife.
"Do I just stab you?"David asked
I didn't say anything and just used steal skill and stole David knife.
"Huh?"David don't know how much he got suprise and shocked today
"Just another proof for you"I said and throw the knife to him and he catch it
"Stab me"I said and I showed my palm
David first slowly stab me but when he saw that he can feel the knife penetrating my skin he start stabbing with a lot of force but nothing still happened.
"This is because of two magical skill, mana skin and bronze skin"I said
"Magic is real"David said with a face like his whole world have gone through a revolution
"Now you asked a lot of questions why don't you answer to some of my questions"I said with a smile" how was your day?"
"Huh? You already know how is went, you saved my mother, did you forgot?"David said sarcastically
"Fair, so tell me what is your feelings when you think about the things that happened today?"I asked
(David pov)
What is my feeling when I think about today events? That's easy anger, when I think about those bastard people at the school and how those people ignored my mother when she was so close death to save another bastard I feel anger.
I feel angry at myself and how powerless I was when my mother needed me, I feel anger, I feel sad, I feel shame and I feel desire to be something more so I can be able to do something if anything like this happen again.
"I feel anger, sadness, shame and desire"I said with a emotionless face
"Hehe, then only I need to ask you just one thing"Edward said with a chuckle
"Yeah what?"I asked
"Do you want me to teach?"Edward asked with a serious face
(MC pov)
"Teach me? Teach me what?" David asked
"Do you want me to become your teacher to teach you magic?"I asked seriously
David have potential, that is true and what better way than change his life and also make him relate me, teaching him is not so hard, I'm mean I already made Scott and other a lot stronger with just helping them a little, imagine what will happen if I actually teach someone. Eventually I may need some people to help me with something and it's better if I can order them.
"People say money is power and one own strength doesn't matter a lot and they are right but they are right because they know one own strength have a limit and they can't for example defeat an army themselves"I said
"But with something like magic, destroying an army is really easy, with enough power doesn't matter how much a person have money"I said" think about it even if you have all the money in the world you will eventually die from old age but with magic you can live much more longer or you may become immortal"
"Of course I'm not a brute and i know knowledge and money also matters"I continue" so what do you think, do you want to become my student, I can show you infinity"I waited for an answer
I feel like I'm using candy to trick a kid, if anyone hear something like that they would probably run away and think I'm crazy but David mentally is different after the day he had and what I show him, he should be desperate to have power, well I hope this is his mentally.
"Please teach me"David stand up and bow to me
"Then let's begin, first I'm going to put you to sleep, don't worry it's not something harmful, I'm just going to help you awake your aura"I said
"Do you want to know what aura is?"I asked and he nodded
"I will tell you in your mind, are you okay with that?"I asked
This makes him think a little but then he agreed, now that he's willing I use implant data and soon he understood everything about aura.
"Okay, please awake my aura teacher"David said with a lot of excitement, he saw that aura make you stronger and what a semblance is
"Good"I said and use sleep curse on him and fall asleep
I didn't need to put him to sleep to awake his aura, the real reason is because I need time to deal with his mother. David might accept me but not his mother, she will never agree that her son drop out of school and become the student of some suspicious Mage.
I turn my head and looks at Gloria, after a second I use dream skill on her.
I didn't bother appearing in front of her and just start showing her what David went through after her death, how he become a edgerunner, gaining fame, seeing his friends die in front of him, loosing the people he care about and eventually sacrificing himself to save Lucy the woman he loves.
After that I showed her a parallel world, well she doesn't know that it's something I made up, anyway I showed her that in that world David successfully graduated and worked for a big company, at first I showed her that David is having a good life but then I made the David in the dream see something that he shouldn't see so the company hire someone to kills David.
I want to show her even if David graduated it won't help him but that a lie I don't know what will happen if he graduate, but it doesn't matter, what is better having freedom and being able to use magic or working for a cold company or something like that, I'm giving the best thing to David.
I made her see David pains again and again and then show her that I saved her life and that I offered David to become my student and I finally ended the dream. I wait for her to wake up
A few seconds later she woke up.
"NOOOOO"she screamed with tears coming out of her eyes
She saw David and I could see how relieved she become seeing his son safe but she also saw me, sitting in front of her.
"Hi"I said with a smile
