“Because of me,” Hildegarde pointed her finger in her face and repeated Mane’s words? She didn’t understand what Mane was getting at.Mane sighed when he noticed her clueless expression. He decided that it was time he told her why he was so insistent that Edict was available on this planet.“Have you never wondered why you could fly,” Mane started? “Have you ever considered why you are able to hide yourself from the perception of others even without doing anything,” he continued.“You could say that the concealment is natural because of the Dreamscape’s system. But what kind of system doesn’t have a power unit” Mane started his monologue. Hildegarde was stunned into silence by his words.That’s right. Why had she never thought of how all these were possible? If it was another testing ground, it would be only natural that flying and concealment would be available to her. After al

Although his words were whispered, Hildegarde heard him. She really wanted to beat him up. How could someone who had an assassin coming his way be so unconcerned? She could feel the excitement seeping out of his bones, and the joy that radiated from his entire being.She couldn’t help but think to herself, “is he secretly a psycho?”Before long, Hildegarde could feel the approach of another presence. No wait. Two more presences! It wasn’t just one assassin, but two! She quickly informed Mane of her findings.“There are two people coming. One of them is on the roof. The other is going to use the door!” Mane nodded his head quietly as he hid under the bed. He began to draw a simulation of what was likely going to happen in his head. This room had only two openings – the door and the window. The one on the roof was going to break in through the window. His entrance would ensure that only one of the openings would be availab

“It’s too quiet,” a man who was hidden amongst the shrubbery just a few metres away from Dan’s home observed. He was covered entirely in black, and there was a mask concealing his facial features and revealing only his eyes. His eyes were sharp and oppressive, and his body reeked of death. There was a large sword strapped to his back, and a small dagger sheathed at his waist. He was watching the door a few metres away with utmost concentration. This man was the last member of the assassin trio sent to deal with Mane. Just as Hildegarde assumed, he was the strongest of the three and the one leading this mission. And it wasn’t just a slight difference in strength. The two assassins that were inside had their fortes. The female assassin was agility oriented whilst the male assassin was strength oriented. This was because of their specialties as New Types. But their leader was different. He was also a New Type, but he was a much rarer kind. He was a Stamina

“That was awesome,” Hildegarde exclaimed with a red face! Now that everything was over, she could appreciate the skill and talent required to best the three assailants.“You think,” Mane replied with a questioning look? “I was a bit disappointed to be honest,” Mane remarked casually as he bent down to appraise the heavy sword on the ground.“Why? You got what you wanted, didn’t you?” Hildegarde didn’t understand why Mane said he was unimpressed. He said he wanted to fight, and he got that. So why was he unsatisfied.“This man outclassed me in every attribute except agility. But I was still able to control the tempo of the battle pretty easily. Why was that?” Mane appreciated the blade of the heavy weapon as he spoke.“Because you are a good thinker,” Hildegarde guessed.“True. I have a good brain” Mane boasted. “But it didn’t factor into this

“How are you so good at this,” Mane had a positively stunned expression as he watched Lily expertly clean his wounds with a bottle of alcohol. The alcohol was actually a bottle of alcohol rich wine that Old Fan had at home.“This isn’t the first time I’ve had to dress up someone’s wounds,” Lily blushed slightly as she stated. She had a kind smile on her face as she obediently attended to Mane.“I can’t believe she used it,”” Old Fan had tears in his eyes are he watched the bottle of wine that was right next to Lily. The formerly full bottle was now almost empty. Lily had almost emptied the bottle of its entire contents when she was disinfecting Mane’s wounds. She poured the wine on Mane’s hand without holding back, much to the pain of Old Fan.“I was saving that bottle for a special occasion,” Old Fan sniffed sadly.There was one mystery surrounding Old Fan: how did
