Chapter 12: CH 12: they found me a job
[Two weeks later]
It's been two weeks since I leveled up.
I have to say, this new body I got is truly powerful.
I can now lift a massive rock, about 430 kg. I made it with my magic, so I know exactly how much I lifted, because unfortunately, there aren't any weights in this world... Wait.
'Mental note: learn to manipulate metal to create weights. Also, remember everything I can do with the magic of this world.' - I made a mental note in a book I use to remind myself of things in my mental space.
And yes, honestly, with so many things I can read in the grimoire, I forget that in this world, their magic has many uses.
It's not that the grimoire doesn't have any spells to create metal, but until now I hadn't needed any weights since my routines were more than enough to tire my previous body, but now that I have this new strength, I doubt that just increasing the number of repetitions can do anything more than waste my time.
Since it wasn't just my strength and endurance that increased, I practically became a supersoldier, although of course, my limit isn't at a human maximum like Captain America from the comics.
But moving on, I can run at a pretty good speed, this time I really don't know when since I have no way of measuring it, but well, the gray wolves can't keep up with me once I start running at full speed so I can run at a speed greater than 60 km/h, although I think these wolves run faster, after all they are not normal animals but monsters, albeit low-level, but they are still monsters.
On the other hand, don't even get me started on my battle aura, this thing can increase my strength and speed exaggeratedly, but of course, just as it increases it exaggeratedly, its wear and tear is also exaggerated.
Now I have another thing to learn to control, I haven't even turned 10 yet and now I don't know how I'm so busy.
On the other hand, I have some news to tell… I got a job… And yes, it's that job.
If you're wondering how it happened... I'll tell you, well... I want to get out of this village... That's all, nothing more, nothing less.
Initially I didn't want to take the job, why, who would want to put up with a violent girl like Eris? I like Eris, but I like the adult Eris, not the child.
The child Eris is unbearable.
But I'm really getting bored here, my only entertainment is learning and getting stronger, it's not bad, but I don't believe in first increasing strength to the max and then you can explore the world.
I never liked that genre, although in reality if we don't count kings, emperors and gods, there are very few beings that can kill me now.
So I thought, why not follow the canon with this and I can take advantage to earn money and meet the future mother of my children?... Yes, don't doubt for a second that I won't try to make Eris mine.
Although well, of course I won't try anything while she's a child, but even Rudeus... Rudeus, managed to make her fall in love with him.
I don't have anything against him exactly, but as a reincarnated person he leaves a lot to be desired.
But continuing, with that in mind I went to talk to Paul.
I gave him the typical speech of, "I want to help Zenith and Lilia so they don't overexert themselves," "I just want a tutor job so it wouldn't be dangerous" and things like that, of course it wasn't that simple and he wanted to pull the same trick on me as before.
But again I was able to convince Zenith, she was easier and with the help of Lilia and with Paul promising me that he would send me to work as a tutor where his cousin was, where Ghislaine was working.
That day Zenith almost kicked Paul out for trying to take me away, but well it's something I asked him for and he was just doing me a favor, Lilia also seemed to see my wishes so she supported me.
With all that she finally accepted while hugging me and crying while making me promise her that I would at least visit her once a year.
On the other hand, I would like to say that telling Sylphy was as simple as that… But no, it was horrible.
She looked like I was going to disappear and never see her again… that was annoying, I'm not sentimental enough to want to put up with her snot and tears.
But well, she's supposed to be my only friend, so I had to put up with it while saying any cliché that came to mind, like "I'll be back," "Don't worry I'm going to come back once a year to see you" or "After we're old enough I promise to come looking for you to have our own adventures"… Yes, maybe the last one was unnecessary, but I was getting stressed because she wouldn't stop crying.
So today, a normal morning I found myself in front of a voluptuous beast woman, I couldn't help but appreciate her body.
Ghislaine has dark skin and wears a revealing leather outfit. She has a slender build along with rippling muscles and is covered in scars all over her body. She wears an eyepatch with a sculpted face that gives off a vibe of a crime boss. She feels completely like an Amazon warrior from some fantasy story. She also has beast ears and a tail like a tiger. Her fur is very thick.
Je… that was the description of the wiki in my past life, I'm really not good at describing people very well.
On the other hand looking at her, I can't help but think that unfortunately she's not my type… Yes, I'm sorry, but I never saw Ghislaine that way in my past life very much.
But leaving that aside, everyone had started talking to Ghislaine, so that soon everyone focused their attention on me.
Words like "we'll miss you," "Behave" or "Take care young master" were quick to come.
I'm not going to lie that last one boosted my ego a bit, now I'm a young master… Ha.
So well, now I'm riding in a carriage next to a beast woman who has no sense of shame, seriously I went to Brazil once, there you could see women in bras, but Ghislaine looks like her nipple is going to pop out at any moment…
"So Ghislaine… I heard from Paul that you're going to take my classes too, could I know the reason? According to what Paul told me about you, it seemed like you were more interested in swords than in learning anything else" - I asked Ghislaine just to make conversation because seriously, I need to focus on something else.
I said she wasn't my type, but I'm not so indifferent to a woman with a spectacular body in front of me and now that my little brother is revived, I don't want to seem like a pervert.
"… I realized it was a necessary skill if I wanted to survive alone…" - Ghislaine looked at me penetratingly, but since I didn't look away, she snorted and replied while looking to the side she seemed to expect the typical words of "Seriously someone like you wants to learn that?", but well I'm not one of those.
"Oh, I see… well, it's good that you decided to learn, I'm sure you won't regret it" - I nodded with a smile, in my past life I wasn't a big fan of studying, but I don't deny that everyone should know the basics.
She looked at me seeing that I wasn't making fun of her or anything, she seemed to nod.
After that the trip was pretty quiet, sometimes I would ask Ghislaine questions about her adventures and she seemed to lower her wall and started talking more, with that she told me the real reason why she decided to study.
I'm not going to lie, it made me feel sorry and disgusted, more than anything disgusted...
'At least Ghislaine is calmer, on the other hand…' - I thought as I looked out of the carriage in a moment of silence, I thought about the red-haired girl I'm going to teach and I couldn't help but sigh.
'Well, I'm a responsible adult of course I won't stoop so low as to stoop to the level of a spoiled child' - I thought feeling proud of myself.
[Time later]
"Listen carefully, let's have a fight, if you win I'll leave and won't bother you anymore, but if you lose you'll have to study everything I teach you" - I told the redhead in front of me, but before she could say anything I put on a mocking smile and look and said - "Or what? Are you afraid of losing?"
If I feel very proud of myself…
====≠====≠====
I really didn't know how to write the chapter and after writing the part about almost leaving the house after Ghislaine arrived I stopped writing.
In the end it ended like this, I don't think it was bad, but for what I wanted it could have been better.
Anyway, I hope you liked the chapter.
On the other hand, I have some bad news, I'm going to lower the frequency with which I upload chapters because well, I'm going to start university so I won't have much time to write.
I don't know how many chapters I can upload per week, but at least I will make long chapters that progress the story.
