Manor POV " Wait so ... In summary, breaking your train of thought doesn't actually cause you to blow up, but breaking your focus during an experiment might have a high chance of blowing up, but that's mainly because it's tedious work that must be done in a proper way or else it blows up. But even though the situation is like this, you'd rather not have anyone break your train of thought since it might cause you to forget an important point or question that might lead to a solution. Is that right?" I repeated our whole conversation in a quick summary, trying to see if I got it right. " In summary, yes that's right. " Terrius nodded. " Then just say you'll blow up when someone breaks your train of thought! It's the same thing! " I exclaimed with a grand gesture and restarted the argument. " No, it isn't! I don't actually burst into flames when it happens!" Terrius reminded as he gestured to himself bursting with his hands. " But you get furious and start scolding. W
Terrius POV " What happened to you? You looked like you had seen a ghost. " I asked as I stood in front of him, trying to understand what changed his mood, so suddenly. Just a minute ago he was running around cheering like a kid and now he was moving around like a zombie. " That would have been better. .... Much better. ..." He answered as he walked past me down the hallway. What the hell was that? Did he see something in the cursed mother's eyes? Well, whatever it is must have scared the life out of him. I better keep an eye on him, who knows what effects that might have. I thought as I followed after him. Manor returned to helping Kaen and Hikaru unload everything and move them to the lab. The whole time, I helped out, I kept an eye on Manor, who seemed to be distracted by something. " There! That should be the last one!" Hikaru announced. " Finally. ....." I sigh as we all slumped down on the lab stools exhausted not really caring about the clutter. Then a grumbli
Kaen POV An annoying sensation rose, pulling me back from my lulling dream, as I felt the cruel punch of sunlight upon my face waking me from my slumber. Another morning and yet it feels different from the last. I thought as I got up a little dizzy trying to remember where I am while scanning the room. Desk and balcony to my left, bathroom in front of me and wardrobe, and exit to my right. Ah! Yes... Terrius summer home. The design is quite befitting his family's name even if the beds have a creepy valance. I better head down, that cure won't find itself. I stretched like a cat before getting ready for another long day. I headed downstairs but no one was around. Maybe they are still sleeping? What time is it anyway? I wandered around the foyer finding an old grandfather clock covered in dust that hadn't been winded for quite some time. God this place is so dusty! I held my nose trying to keep myself from sneezing. One of the downfalls of being a beast. I sigh as I once again c
Hikaru POV "... Why do I feel like we're parents?" I asked as I finished my breakfast. " *Scoffs* If there are kids then they're yours. I don't recall having such brats as my kids and if they were my kids they would be more sophisticated and not annoying. " " There's no way that would happen. " " What do you know about the future?!" More than you can ever imagine. " Come on, let's go get that sample before they start their nonsense again. " Terrius says as he heads down to the lab, I follow closely behind him. The lab was filled with unfinished inventions and was quite dark. It felt more like a dungeon or a torture room with the caged villager in here. I shiver, recalling the time I was tested by Terrius in one of our past timelines. That's something I never want to repeat. .... ever again. Pity the villagers. .... but this is something that can't be helped. Terrius may be a cruel man but he's the only one that can help them. I thought as I stare at the only cursed m
Hikaru POV " You guys did well. With this, I might be able to start running test cures." Terrius praises as he flips through the notes. " The help and trust of my man were what pulled us through!* Laughs*." They both said at the same time as they hook each other's arms around each other's necks. Terrius found it creepy that they both said and did the same thing but knowing that Kaen is imitating V4.1, it made sense. Terrius just shook his head before continuing to go through Kaen's notes while Kaen and Manor wolfed down dinner like there's no tomorrow. They must have used up a lot of energy and magic. They wolfed down 6 helpings of lunch in under 10 minutes as well. I recalled as I continued placing another serving in front of them, knowing that they would ask any minute. Terrius, on the other hand, skipped lunch and right now he's more interested in reading than eating. " Terrius you should eat something first." I advised. " He won't eat anything that's Terrific
Hikaru POV Terrius pokes the dead body with a stick and it really seems dead. Terrius then glares at Manor as Manor hides his wounded hand behind him as it healed after the rat dies. " One eats life forces and is barely visible. I don't want to imagine what the other one does... You're lucky that my curiosity outweighs my anger at both of your stupidity. I'll start running some tests now and continue on the cure tomorrow. I doubt I'll accomplish much in under 3 hours but it's best to understand the effects of the blood on certain elements to ensure my safety. " Terrius says as he takes out more equipment and starts setting it up. Knowing that Terrius has already forgotten our existence, I head back to the kitchen and start on the dishes. After a while. " What you two idiots still doing here! Get out! And shut the door behind you!" Manor and Kaen left the lab in a hurry, laughing about something. They must have disturbed Terrius's equipment out of curiosity. " Hey! Hika
Manor POV " And I think that's it." I said as I placed the final book on the table before returning back to my body. " Finally! My hand is killing me from all that writing. " My good man, Kaen, or should I say the wicked nickname I gave, Flames. Flames cheered as he rubbed his sore wrist. " *Laughs* Then why don't you just record which book and which page?" I asked as I returned to the table with my body but kept my back facing him while I waited for him to finish using his speed dragon powers. " Just to have him waste his energy looking for the book and the page? He already looks like a ghost, I don't want him becoming one." " Believe me, in many ways he's already one." I said as I reach my hand out behind me asking for a Hi-Five. " * Laugh* Nice one!" Flames laugh as he Hi-Fives me. I then leaned my body against the table. " You think Terry would be out by now? We did miss him at breakfast. " I absent-mindedly asked. " And following the pattern from yes
Manor POV " Manor 3, Terry 0." I chimed as I did a little victory dance. " * Laughs* I don't recall losing that many times to you." Terry laughed. " Well, one just now, one for an added bonus since my blood is the cure and one more was during our convoy trip to the mansion. " " That sounds far from right. " " Just because I'm standing on your left doesn't mean my calculations are invalid." " *Laughs* You know what I meant. " He laughs as he picks up his brandy for another sip. " Yeah, but you walked right into that one." " Fair enough. " Terry says as he presses the glass to his face, enjoying the cold feeling of the glass against his face. Normally he would be blowing up by now but from the looks of it, he's too exhausted to even bother. " Alright, that's enough. " I said as I walked past his desk towards his seat. " What?" I took the glass from his hand and drank his brandy. The smooth strong drink gave out a nice aroma, now that's what you call bra
