'Become as strong as Harano and Seigo, or even stronger … '
The excellent student was shaken once again as he recalled that shining golden figure.
Even though he felt that it was impossible, he still felt a trace of anticipation. 'Even if I can't become the same as Seigo, I can at least obtain a certain degree of power … right? '
"No … I don't believe that it's possible! Power isn't something that can be obtained easily. Even if I can obtain it, I'll definitely have to pay a frightening price. "Kazufuru forced himself to remain calm.
"That's quite wise of you, bro. Indeed, power isn't something that can be obtained easily. However, my experiment isn't something that can be obtained easily. " The gray-clothed man smiled. "You have the talent and the possibility. Even if there's some risk involved, it's worth the gamble."
"I don't want to gamble!"
"Don't say that. Many people don't even have the chance to gamble even if they want to. You're still young. You don't know just how dirty this world is. As an ordinary person, working hard is basically meaningless … no, it's completely meaningless. "The gray-clothed man had a dark look in his eyes.
"Working hard might have no returns. And even if you're lucky enough to obtain something or obtain something, as long as you're targeted by someone who's born into a higher position, everything will be easily taken away from you!
"Even if you kneel down and beg, you won't receive any pity! Even if you abandon your pride and lick someone's shoes like a dog, you'll only be kicked away! Even if you give up everything you have in order to preserve the most precious thing in the end, you'll only be mocked! And trampled!! "
Kazufuru was once again intimidated by the gray-clothed man's powerful will in his words and gaze.
"You haven't experienced it yet, but you probably understand it now, bro. No matter what you do, there will always be an unsurpassable wall or an existence that you can't go against. Just like livestock, you'll forever be trapped within a fence, waiting to be slaughtered by others, "the gray-clothed man continued.
"Livestock and master are already determined from the moment they're born. What bullsh * t rules of this world!
Only by obtaining power can you overturn these rules! Only power can transform livestock into humans. Apart from that, there's nothing else!!
"You have this chance right now. It's a lucky chance, truly incredibly lucky."
He looked deeply into Kazufuru's eyes.
"Obtain power and become a true human. Or you can give up this one and only fortune and continue to be an existence that is called a mortal but is actually a livestock … Choose. "
"… Choose?"
"En. If you choose to give up, I will stop the experiment and let you go. Anyway, this experiment doesn't have to be done on you. "
Kazufuri was rendered speechless.
"You have an interesting expression, little brother." The gray-clothed man chuckled. "I'm a madman. My heart is unstable. Perhaps I'll really let you go, or perhaps I'm just lying. You can judge for yourself."
Kazufuru furrowed his eyebrows.
"What is this experiment about? What will happen to me if I succeed? What happens if you fail? "
"Good question. It's good that you're interested." The gray-clothed man revealed a happy expression.
"What kind of experiment it is must be kept secret. If it succeeds, you will awaken a very powerful psionic power. As for how powerful it is, I'm not sure, but it will definitely be very powerful. There might be side effects when using it, but it should be bearable. "
"If we fail, there are all sorts of possibilities … Overall, the chances of survival are quite high."
Kazufuru furrowed his eyebrows.
"I'm sorry for being so vague. However, the gains from this experiment are very high, and the losses are within an acceptable range. It's really a good gamble. "
"You're not the one who's gambling, so of course it's a good gamble for you!"
"I've already made the gamble myself, little brother." The gray-clothed man chuckled. "That time was truly dangerous. It was far more dangerous than the experiment on your body. It was also incredibly painful. Even a madman wouldn't want to experience it a second time."
His casual words contained a dark heaviness.
"… Uncle, why did you do such a thing?" Kazufuru looked at him.
"Because I've already gone insane."
"Why did you go insane?"
"Because I met something that's only natural for livestock." The gray-clothed man spoke casually as if he were having a casual conversation. "Livestock don't know that they're livestock. They think that they're humans and live happily, until one day, they're slaughtered.
This happens every day. Livestock that think that they're humans are slaughtered at every moment. They die in pain and despair. Many of them don't even know why they died.
Actually, there's no why. This world has always been like this. It's just that livestock are foolish and don't see it clearly.
I was lucky enough to survive. I went insane and saw it clearly. That's all. "
Kazufuru fell silent.
"You can see it clearly as well. Perhaps I should say that you should see it clearly right now, because you're just like a livestock waiting to be slaughtered by me." The gray-clothed man chuckled casually.
"It's truly quite simple for me to kill you, little brother. It's also quite easy for me to mess you up, and I won't be punished in any way.
Even if that 'truly powerful individual' that helped you undo the curse wants to take revenge for you, he won't be able to find me … no, he won't even be able to find you, because I won't leave any traces behind.
If I kill you, you'll just die. Nothing will be left behind. "
Kazufuru felt a chill that reached his very soul.
Previously, he had been cursed by this madman. Fortunately, he received help from Harano and Seigo, which was why he was fine.
But this time, he was kidnapped. Could he count on Harano and Seigo to save him?
Of course not!
He had been kidnapped while he was asleep. He didn't know what time it was right now. Harano and Seigo wouldn't know about this until morning. And even if they knew, how would they find him?
Harano was quite strong, but he wasn't a god.
Kazufuru deeply understood his current situation.
"… If I obtain power, I'll kill you!" He glared at the gray-clothed man.
"Nice gaze. It seems that you've decided to take this opportunity. Excellent. "
"Even if I refuse, you won't let me go, will you?"
"No, I will. However, I'll completely erase your memories and turn you into an idiot. It's highly likely that you'll be knocked flying by a car on the street."
"You bastard!!"
"Little brother, you've made the correct choice. There's a reward for you." The gray-clothed man smiled. "The reward is to complete this experiment. No matter what the result is, I won't harm you anymore. Isn't that great?"
"No matter what the result is! I'll kill you!! "Kazufuru roared angrily.
"Very good. Treat me as your enemy and do your best to survive! Become a human … no, a ferocious beast!! "The gray-clothed man chuckled maniacally.
He then activated a spell that he had prepared beforehand. Instantly, a dark green light flashed in the room. Countless runes flashed, followed by a red light that was so strong that it seemed capable of devouring everything.
Kazufuru's vision darkened as his consciousness became hazy.
He felt as if he was sinking into the depths of an icy darkness. His chest was burning, burning hotter and more painful.
It was as if he was constantly sinking into water, or floating in midair. His consciousness was incredibly hazy as he entered an ambiguous realm.
He could faintly hear a red light flashing past him and a voice.
So cold, so hot, so painful …
Kazufuru did his very best to maintain his consciousness. However, his consciousness was slowly fading away as he slowly melted into the darkness.
'I'm going to die … damn it …'
He desired to survive, desired to be saved, wanted to see that shining golden figure again, wanted to possess power like that person …
'I want to survive! I want to become stronger!! '
Kazufuru did his very best to struggle. Just as his consciousness was about to completely disappear, he faintly heard a mysterious and ethereal female voice …
