SWNOVELS Chapter 9 Fated
Kyle wryly smiled as he indeed lacks general knowledge about the Arcane Paths, the Dark Arts, the Vermont Academy, and other things related to mysticism.
He had only finished his primary education after all.
Luckily, Mr. Heinz has plenty of books here to help him gain enough knowledge about the other side of society. He felt really lucky to have this kind of mentor.
"I can read Soineti without any problems… I know a little Heumish as well since I thought I was going to study at the Academy of Knights." Kyle replied after browsing his memories.
Soineti is the common language of the Millton Kingdom and the Pallham Empire. He wasn't sure about the history between the two nations because the previous Kyle wasn't too interested in it. However, he heard from his primary teachers that Pallham Empire has a deep connection to their Millton Kingdom.
Anyway, aside from this, he knows that Melthorn City was in the Millton Kingdom.
"That's good enough… I'll pick a few books and you have to finish reading them in a month..." Heinz said with his hoarse voice as Kyle immediately felt a headache.
'I have to read books in two months… Just how many should I read?'
Soon, he saw Heinz in front of the bookshelf at the leftmost side of the room. He took out over eight books and put them on his desk…
'Eight books… That should be doable.' Kyle thought as he approached Mr. Heinz.
"Not this. These are too advanced for you. Read the ones that are left on that shelf." Heinz spoke to Kyle as he pointed at the shelf.
Kyle was astounded at this as he felt that it was too much!
He looked at his Master again and confirmed that his face doesn't seem to be joking.
"M-master… That's probably over a hundred books."
He doesn't think he can even finish a single book per day! He's not a machine and his system doesn't help him read faster. He wasn't even sure if his intelligence is enough to make it easier for him.
However, even after complaining, Heinz simply looked at him nonchalantly.
"It doesn't matter. Just read what you can read. After a week or so, I'll be teaching you something that can help you absorb information faster. I just have to confirm a few things to the vice headmaster before teaching you any of the Dark Arts." Heinz explained as he waved his hands.
Kyle finally relaxed after hearing Mr. Heinz's words. Indeed, his Master already thought of things and he just have to follow him.
For now, he wanted to extract the corpses that were delivered.
"I understand, Master. I'll help you arrange these bodies first. Where would you like me to put them?" Kyle asked as he already approached the corpses.
He then noticed that these people still have a few coins bulging in their pockets. Just like Lesley, the facilitator on the other recruitment site doesn't seem to be interested in the items owned by the commoners.
Heinz thought for a moment before accepting Kyle's assistance.
"Just line them up and remove all their clothes. I need to inspect them first… If there's nothing wrong, bring them behind that door… No, I'll bring them away, you'll probably die if you get near the furnace."
Kyle was stumped by the sudden instruction. However, he knows that he can't always question his Master so he decided to just follow his instructions for now.contemporary romance
He's also not interested in the dangerous furnace that could kill him.
He took a deep breath to condition his mind. It will be a lie if he says that he's not uncomfortable looking at the dead bodies.
To be honest, he has been bothered by them all this time but he just can't complain in front of the old expert.
Right now, the room is bright so he can easily see their expressions. Their eyes are open, dry blood on their orifices, expressions of fear, pain, and despair, he can see it all.
They all didn't die peacefully.
Hu~
It was unlike when he was in the cold and dark room where he can't properly see their faces so he wasn't too afraid.
"I… I'll work on it now, Master Heinz..." Kyle answered forcefully as he first worked on the first batch of bodies.
There were three female bodies from them but Kyle didn't stop moving even for a moment. It was just a bit difficult since their clothes are tighter than he expected. Furthermore, they were still quite cold, and perhaps, because of the potion, they didn't make a mess after their death.
Kyle previously heard in his past life that after death, the muscles loosen releasing the strain on the bowel and bladder. It would normally result in a release of poop and pee at death.
However, it didn't happen to these bodies.
Perhaps it was because of the potion they drank… He couldn't tell.
After removing all their clothes, Kyle also had the time to at least close their eyes and rigid jaw.
Then, he turned to the new batch of corpses that were delivered.
He looked at his Master who seem to be preparing to go out before he shifted his gaze back to the corpses…
'Alright… Let's try."
[ Human corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]
"Yes…
[ Extraction successful. Energy +5. Intelligence +0.02 ]
After the successful extraction, he checked Heinz's reaction and confirmed that he didn't notice anything.
'Good… It's untraceable.'
With this in mind, Kyle extracted the other seven bodies as he removed their clothes, and lined them up.
[ Extraction successful. Energy +5. Intelligence +0.01 ]
[ Extraction successful. Energy +5. Intelligence +0.01 ]
[ Extraction successful. Energy +5. Strength +0.01 ]
[ Extraction successful. Energy +5. Agility +0.01 ]
…
Seeing that his attributes slowly increase, Kyle couldn't help but smile… Perhaps, it's a good idea to stay here.
Then, as he was happily checking his attributes, he was suddenly interrupted by the delighted Mr. Heinz after seeing his work.
"Oh? It's my first time seeing someone smiling like that while dealing with the corpses… It seems that you're fated to work here. Good. Good…"
