SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE-Chapter 113 Encounter with Second Legatee
Chapter 113 Encounter with Second Legatee
Edgar went back to the market for hyperbeings while in disguise. He bought magic materials in a store that does not have high-tech equipment. The store owner asked for an ID as a registered hyperbeing. Edgar gave a fake ID. The ID shows unique lights when mana is injected into it. It cannot be easily copied even by Master Runesmith, so some store owners do not bother checking it in the database. One of the reasons why underground markets thrive is because you do not need to show your real identity to buy or sell. A stolen magic weapon could be seen being sold in the underground market the next evening.
Edgar went home, then he smithed a magic oxygen mask. He also smithed a magic leash for the cubs. The runes for the leash are easy to make as magic pets thrive in the virtual world when world peace was truly achieved, a higher quality of life was in demand, and many beings had time to take care of magic pets. A magic leash became a necessity to protect the children. Food companies for pets also thrive because of magic pets. One of his granddaughters loves magic pets so much that she started a company that sells food for them. Emilia, his three-year-old great-granddaughter, had a magic wolf and a cat as pets. He sometimes helped the child prepare food for her pets. Her aunt loves Emilia a lot, so she made a special recipe for her pets. They are the best food for magic pets.
Edgar is in the underground training hall. The magic mask and leash had been smithed.
He is staring at the big piece of meat floating in the air. He raised his right hand, clad his palm with an aura, and then the aura turned sharper.
The wolf cubs are near his feet. They are staring at the meat.
Edgar's eyes turned sharp, and he swings his arm toward the big meat. There are many shadows of his arms in the air.
Edgar stopped, and then the pieces of magic beast meat turned into many tiny pieces.
He raised his left palm, then a magic circle appeared. The tiny pieces of meat were pulled into the magic circle.
Edgar stares at the magic meat on the magic circle.
"I can't believe that I am using advance potion making to make foods for pets."
Although he helped Emilia prepare food for her pets, the ingredients were already prepared. He just needed to mix them. He looks at the cubs, then remembers their mother.
"A promise is a promise. I will take care of both of you well," said Edgar, then he continued making the best food for magic pets.
When Sasha and Fei arrive, they are surprised that two cute wolf cubs are at home.
The male cub became fierce when other creatures intruded on the house, which he considered their territory. The teachings of Edgar in the illusion space of combat were blown away from his mind.
The female cub slapped the head of her sibling, and then she approached Sasha. Her nose smelled Sasha, then she runs around her, acting cute. The female cub even looks like it is smiling. Edgar gave the food to Sasha and let her feed her.
The male cub's eyes lit up when he saw his sister being fed after acting cute. Edgar let them taste the food earlier. It was the best food they had ever tasted. They can never forget its taste. It also runs around Sasha and acts cute. He tries to smile, but he looks hideous instead of cute. They laugh at the action of the cub. There is more joy and laughter in the Rios family because of the cubs.
In the morning, Edgar is driving a black Ford Raptor toward the orphanage. He bought it earlier. He can't make a blind girl ride behind his motorbike, and it is more convenient when he needs to buy more materials in public and can't use his storage space.
He is near the suburb. He is driving on elevated land. The land is three meters high. The top is a cement road, and its edge has a road barrier. There is another elevated land on the opposite side. The wall of the land is covered with green grass. Some terrain had been changed in Manila due to the attack of strong magic beasts in the first year that broken worlds appeared. One of the purposes of elevated land is to redirect water to prevent flooding during the rainy season due to changes in terrain.
Between the elevated lands, there is a shallow creek. The water is clear. Stones and pebbles can be seen. There is flat ground with green grass on both sides of the creek.
The elevated land was made by an earth magician. The water also comes from different sources. It will pass through a water treatment facility and then flow to the creek. The creek is connected to a water network that will lead to the Pasig River. 𝚋𝚎dnov𝚎𝚕.𝚌om
Not too far in front of him, there is a bridge over the creek. There is a little boy watching what is happening below the bridge. There is a curious little brown puppy beside him. It approaches the edge of the bridge and looks over.
Below the bridge, there are men training karate. They are wearing a karate uniform. At the back of the group is the youngest among them. He looks like he is in senior high. His black hair is quite long, and he is wearing circular eyeglasses with a white, thin frame. He has several bandages on his face and arms.
The little puppy on the bridge lost its footing and fell from the bridge. The little boy saw it. His face looks so anxious.
"Rocket! Noo!" shouted the little boy. His eyes turned teary.
The young man with eyeglasses heard the shout of the boy and saw the falling puppy.
He stepped his right foot to his back.
Woosh! He swiftly rotated his body for three hundred sixty degrees while moving forward and lowering his body. He stretched down his right arm while in a sideward position. His right foot is in front, while his left foot is at the back. His hair and loose uniform are swaying due to his quick rotation.
Flop! The young man's right arm catches the puppy.
The young man stood up and hugs the puppy.
"Phew!" The young man raised his left hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
He smiles and caresses the head of the puppy. He climbs the wall of the elevated land, which is like a slope, and then gives the puppy to the little boy who is standing beside the barrier.
"T-thank you," said the little boy while tightly hugging the puppy. He seems to really like the puppy.
"You are welcome. Guard him very well from now on," said the young man.
The little boy nods.
The young man went back to the group.
The middle-aged man who teaches them karate called for the young man.
"Seanlu, come back here!"
"Yes, teacher!" answered Seanlu.
The young man ran and reached the back of the group.
"Here!" said the teacher.
"Yes!" Seanlu moved to the front of the teacher.
"Come on! Give me a punch!" said the teacher as he raised his right palm.
"Yes!" Seanlu took a karate stance. His eyes turned sharp.
"Ahhh!" shouts Seanlu as he gathers strength for his right arm, then throws a straight punch with his right fist.
Tap! His right fist hit the right palm of the teacher, but it felt like a slight tap.
There is silence for a while.
Seanlu's fellow apprentices laugh.
"Damn it! What did you learn in a few weeks? How useful is the movement that you showed earlier when you can't even control it at will?!" shouted the teacher.
"I-I'm sorry, teacher," said Seanlu while bowing his head.
"Teacher, be lenient with Seanlu. This is his first time practicing martial art," said a muscular young man with dark brown skin. He was the only one who did not laugh at Seanlu.
"Alright! Alright! Let's continue the training tomorrow," said the teacher.
"Yes, teacher!" answered the karate students, then they saluted and moved in separate ways.
Flop! The young man,Bart, patted Seanlu's shoulder and said,"Don't give up."
Seanlu smiles. He appreciates the support being given by his senior brother.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Edgar saw what happened on the bridge. He even used life detection to measure the true energy of the young man. Like Melody, he is an ordinary human.
Edgar smiles as he looks at the young man.
"Feiyu, I might have found your legatee."
