Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel-Chapter 21 Long Range Attack

The Cat didn't know what to tell about the human named Zick at all, if it had any word to describe him it is would be-

'Twisted....'

It could feel that Zick had a very different soul unlike any soul it has seen but that wasn't the main thing.

'What the hell did he go through to become like this.....'

The cat found Zick's smile as nothing but eerie, There was another feeling accompanying it too.

'Fear...? a mythical beast is feeling fear from a human...?'

Even the cat couldn't understand the reason behind why it felt fear seeing his smile. It had enough strength to kill Zick with a single sneeze. But the fear it felt didn't come from something like that, what it felt came from its instincts itself.

The cat has the ability to see deep within a person and tell their nature, but when it tried looking into Zick's consciousness-

'it was like a broken consciousness was being held together somehow...'

When it tried looking into it, at first it could only feel rationality but when it looked deeper, there was nothing but a broken and unstable consciousness.

And such a person told it to protect him, though it was reluctant to accept it but curiosity got the best of it.

'What did he go through to become like this? I am really curious....these scars on his consciousness aren't something a young kid like this should have. He probably doesn't even know.....'

Thinking of how Zick's consciousness was rational, the cat could only assume that he hadn't noticed his unstable mind just yet.

Just because of curiosity, it made a contract for the first time in the last few centuries.

Zick stopped flipping through the pages of the book and stared towards the entrance of the garden. The cat also lifted its head up and looked in the same direction as him.

Both Zick and the cat could feel the presence of two people heading towards the garden, where they were currently at.

"This is my family garden!"

"haha! it is beautiful just like you told" f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

Zick and the cat could hear two bright voices talking to each other happily. Feeling their gazes they looked towards Zick.

'So they already met each other.....'

There stood two people in front of Zick, they were the same age as him.

'Stella and the second prince...'

Stella had a black hair reaching till her shoulder and blue eyes, she had a weak physique with pale skin just like how it was described in the novel. There was a white six petal rose on her hairs and she wore a white summer dress.

The second prince's name is Aureo mexswer, he had the signature gold hair and eyes of the royal family of the Cravion kingdom.

Zick wasn't expecting for anyone to come here as it was still early morning so he was left momentarily surprised.

Both of them started Walking towards Zick to greet him.

"eh...cat...?"

Stella couldn't believe what she was seeing.

'The cat let someone touch it..?'

Stella has been living her whole life within the estate as she has a weak body so she has come across the black cat a lot of time. The cat would never let anyone touch it, it would even claw at her whenever she tries to touch it.

And right at the moment, it was sleeping all curled up on a stranger's lap.

Picking the cat up, Zick kept it in the side along with the book and got up with still a smile on his face.

"It is a honour to meet you, your highness"

Though Zick found it annoying, he still had to greet someone with royal blood respectfully.

"Who are you?"

Aureo asked with a dignified demeanour.

"its Zick Melvix"

Hearing the word Melvix, surprise appeared on his face but in a second it turned into a friendly smile.

"ohh! You are from the Melvix family? it's an honour to meet you!"

'He is the same too'

In the Novel, the second prince was an opportunistic person with a scheming mind.

Shaking each other's hand, Zick and Aureo looked towards Stella.

Feeling their gazes Stella snapped out of her daze and greeted Zick. f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂

"amh...my name is Stella Garcia, nice to meet you"

"nice to meet you too"

Stella still kept stealing glances of the black cat.

"Well if you would excuse me"

Saying this, Zick sat back within the gazebo and picked up the book. The cat got back upon Zick's lap and curled into a ball again.

Looking at Zick reading the book ignoring him, Aureo's lip started twitching.

"....let's look around, shall we?"

"yes!"

Aureo and Stella started strolling around the garden looking at the flowers.

But Zick ignored them as he found the techniques mentioned in the book interesting.

'Compressing the mana into the sword and then releasing it with a momentary force.....though I can use this as a long range attack, a lot of my mana will be used up'

Zick didn't even have any affinity with mana so he had no hopes in having any affinity with a element at all.

Putting the book back in the ring, Zick took out another one out of it.

Its title was- (using elemental with a sword)

Reading it with interest for a while his mood turned sour.

'Why are they selling this garbage ? It is not possible to use this technique without having any affinities ?'

Putting the book back into his space ring, Zick just took out a sword from the ring.

keeping the cat aside, Zick went out of the gazebo. Catching the sword with both his hands, he aimed it forward.

Concentrating upon the mana in his body, Zick sent it to the sword and he compressed it within the sword instead of letting it all dissipate in the air.

CREAK!

The sword started making creaking sounds, not being able to hold the mana. Zick stopped seeing that the sword had reached its limit.

"huuuuu....."

Breathing out loudly, he swung his sword diagonally towards the sky. A transparent blue curved slice flew out of the sword with a speed which was hard to follow even by Zick.

'hm....it's better than I thought but I will only be able to use that more 8 times before I run out of mana'

"Meow!"

The black cat meows angrily upon something.

Turning his head towards the sound, Zick could see the cat walking towards him. Behind him Stella stood with a disappointed look.

Zick had been concentrating upon the sword so he didn't notice what had happened within that time around him.

Reaching near his leg, The cat tapped on it while looking up at him. Putting the sword back into the space ring, he picked up the cat.

Hugging the cat with both hands, Zick started heading towards his room.

'Did the stella in the novel liked cats...? hmm...nevermind'

Ignoring the gaze he felt on his back, he walked out of the garden.
