The Villain Can't Lose

Zuri's words caused me to think about the possibilities that were ahead of me. If I could become stronger than Doru, I could easily defeat Dante.

If I could become better than him, then why couldn't I become stronger than everyone?

I could be more talented, I could become the strongest person in the world...

I felt like my heart was pumping fast and my blood was rushing through my veins, my entire body was full of energy and I felt like I could do anything.

[Relax now,] Zuri interrupted, [you still have a lot to grow and train first before becoming someone big] she flew up, "can you read my mind?" I furrowed my eyebrows and tried to sit up.

[No, but the obvious smirk on your face made it clear what you were thinking,] she laughed, and I felt embarrassed because she was correct, I was thinking about becoming stronger than everyone else.

"But Zuri, about the demon..." I inhaled more air, as a tingling vibration went through my body, "if Hector has a demon inside, why his magic level is still not higher than mine?" I asked her.

She smiled and once again, I heard her voice, but this time it was different, [it's because his magic level is still too low, and the demon that is slowly taking over Hector's body has no magic level of its own, so it can only feed off of Hector's magic and power, thus making him weaker and giving the demon more strength. What he is doing right now is feeding his demon, but soon enough, the demon will take over Hector completely and he will be defeated.]

Zuri's sentence felt like a sharp glass being pressed inside my head, my body felt numb and cold, my ears became deaf and I couldn't hear anything else other than my heartbeat.

I could hear nothing else except for her voice, "so, what are you trying to say is the Demon eats Hector's magic energy?"

My mind was racing and my thoughts were moving so fast; I needed answers.

[Yes, he feeds the demon by draining the magic energy out of human beings and himself, and once the demon is fully grown, it will be able to feed itself on its own.]

This... This last statement was finally clear to me... Something that I missed or probably forgot while reading the book. Rowen's magic level was the highest in this house and the demon felt Rowen's presence, and probably told Hector to give him his son to feed himself with.

I felt the heat of my body rising and I became dizzy. I wanted to shout, but I couldn't due to the fact that my throat was blocked.

[You should be careful and avoid Hector for the time being, as the demon is the first thing you need to take care of,] Zuri's words made my mind race even faster.

As much as I want to be cautious, I don't really have a choice here, I mean... I have to do some research about this, I have to find out how to get rid of the demon inside of Hector, otherwise, the demon will continue... "no! Wait!" I yelled through a hurting throat, "Zuri, my plan to allow the demon to enter my body and destroy it within could still work! I widened my eyes as I felt how my heart beat faster, "but the only problem is that I don't have enough time to do a lot of research and experiments on myself."

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom She nodded, and I saw her smile for the first time, [I believe that I can help you with that,] her voice sounded so calm and controlled, unlike her previous voice which was filled with so much anger, [with me around, you will be able to finish everything in no time, I will make sure of that. But you must promise me something first, and that is that you will never use your powers against anyone, even if it means your life. You will always think twice about using your abilities, and if you ever feel like it is necessary, you will ask for my permission first before using your abilities. Is that understood, Rowen?]

As a small being, she was really demanding.

"I can't train...?" I frowned, as this just sounded ridiculous to me, "I can't train without training?"

She nodded and smiled again, but her smile looked fake like it had been forced, [training is important, but you need to know the amount of mana you can use while doing so,] she paused and stared at me, [and I assume that you are not a very good magician?]

I shook my head while my hands were clenching into fists, "you're right," I admitted, "but I have someone strong to train me now, so you don't have to worry much," I assured her.

[Yes, the assassin Nari and butler Serenu are actually good people to learn to control your mana, considering that the butler is a healer himself.] She fixed her glasses again.

"Serenu a healer?" I whispered, "what does it even mean?"

She smiled and sighed, [Well, I suppose I should explain things to you.]

She pushed her tiny wings forwards and then back up, up and stopped right next to my nose, she looked like a goddess, with her long wavy silver hair covering her tiny little body, [well, to start with, you should know that the word healer simply means that they heal wounds, injuries, diseases... But the butler has a special talent. He can see into the future, and if anyone gets hurt or sick during their sleep, they will be able to heal them even before they wake up. And this is why he became a butler. Now, let me explain about healers.]

She pulled away from my nose and started flying towards the door, [Now when a healer uses their powers, they consume the magic energy of those who they heal, but the amount of mana used depends on the strength of the person you are healing]

Her wings were mesmerising and taking my focus away, [Rowen, listen!] She commanded.

[The stronger you are, the more mana you can store inside of yourself and use at once. Healers are classified according to the amount of mana each of them holds,] She exhaled and then continued...

[As A-rank healers hold the most mana among all others, B-rank healers hold a little less than that, C-rank healers hold a lot less than that, D-rank healers hold almost none of the mana inside of themselves, and F-rank healers hold so little mana inside of themselves that they can barely heal a scratch on someone's skin, but because of the limited amount of their mana, they are the only ones who can cure poison.]

Zuri flew about one meter away from me, [ And finally, there is E-, and that is the lowest rank of all healers, they are extremely weak and can't even heal a single wound on someone's skin, but they are still considered to be healers. Most of the time, they end up dying because they can't even survive inside our world because they are so weak, they can't eat food, and they only live off of mana that they absorb from other people.]
