Chapter 10

"I will called it the lovers."

After I wake up,I noticed there was another ability unlocked. At the same time priestess also awaken from its sleep. The first thing I did  was using it. After using it I noticed I can see of live nearby through the wall.It's pretty useful ability especially each living being have different color. For example my sister have pink colors ,while iris's brother jin is night blue, Iris's parents color was  light blue ,the mouse in this house have white color.The people outside have white color ,the same as the mouse.The distance is 1 km which is good enough to stop ambush. I hope I can improve it in the future...

"I need to test it more."

After all Iris have deep red color,and I have feeling this color means how the other sees me.Since normal people who never meet me  is having white color,while the people I talked two have different color. I still need to understand more about this power.For now I was sure deep red means love and since she is already telling me how she feels toward me.I feel safety at the same time  danger from that color.Regardless of that I named it the lover as the code since it's awaken the day after Iris confession.And for the image ..It's a heart.For now let's turn it off. At the same time I noticed Iris knock the door.

"Lux,breakfast is ready."

"Okay."

I then opened the door and followed Iris to dinner room. I notice there was Iris's parent missing.While Iris's brother jin is watching TV and my sister is setting the table.

"Yo Lux,sleep well?."

"Pretty much,where is uncle and auntie?"

"Mother is doing some administration work for your fake transfer ,while father is preparing administration work for your awakening ID."

Iris replied while brother jin continue to watch the news.My sister.who finished her job then ask Iris.

"What is awakening Id?"

"It's like Identification card that normal people used,Except it's issued for awakening people like us.You see goverment need to keep watching us and keep us in check.That's why they need to monitor us ,considering most of the human are no awakened.They need to monitor us to keep the peace in the city. In exchange for that,we are given more privelege. For example we allowed to eat for free in certain kind of restaurant. There is also ranking. Depend our ranking our monitoring was different,for example E rank basically only need request whenever you need to go to other countries,while A rank need 2 or 3 people followed behind them whenever they go outside. Well There is always exception for example,the lazy bastard who sit on sofa and watching news."

Iris pointed on her own brother.

"That's rude,I did proper work you know. Eleminating pest and such."

"Pest?Then why you don't train to control your ability first?Do you know how many times goverment came over only told you to control your power some more?"

"Hey,It's isn't my fault."

"Sight forget it,at least because how careless you are. The goverment didn't dare to put watcher on you. To begin with if not for father you were probably in jail already. Big brother please learn how to control your ability."

"Yeah,yeah. I understand."

Iris sighed then continued her explanation.

"At anyrate we need to do formal procedure,that's why father wakes up early and goes before us to save time.That's why there is no need to worry."

"Thank you,we can't be more grateful for your help."

My sister bow to Iris while Iris panicked.She probably surprised since my sister rarely bow her head to random people.I want to thank her too but my eyes focused on the news in front of me.

"As this morning,the dead body of president G Electronic was found dead by the river in the evening."

The dead body at the news,It was the student council vice-president father.He was famous in underworld. Even if I can kill him I need to pay the prize since his bodyguard was also awakened.Who can kill him?by the look of the corpse he was already dead for 3 days,Which means he already died before day we entered the 'dungeon'. There should be a big uproar since he always manage everything directly. Yet I never heard anything like that.Looks like something happening in shadow.

"What's wrong Lux?"

"Nothing,I just fell into deep thought for a moment."

Brother jin then turn look toward me and aksed me a question.

"Are you worried about the  paparazzi taking about you?"

For that matter I never worried about it,A famous Idol like gracia probably have someone to solve that kind of matter and probably already solved it.Since there is no news all over it in internet,gracia probably do something about it.It's better for me to discuss it with everyone else.

"No of course not,It just about the corpse in the news."

"Corpse?You mean the vice student president's father?It's probably business rival Lux."

Brother jin said that,but I really doubt it.There is no one in that city can kill him silently.

"Now,now. You are probably thinking about it lux. Come help me make make breakfast."

Probably,I will keep it in my mind the next time I come back to that city again. For now let's focus on my main problem first.What should I do toward gracia?I should consider pros and cons while making the breakfast.After 20 minutes we finished  and both of Iris's parent already returned.As we brought our sandwich to living room I noticed iris's father was in low spirit.

"What's wrong uncle?"

I said that as I sit on dining table.

"Nothing,It just one of those pesky old man keep bugging me to introduce Iris's to his son."

"Oh that bastard Still didn't give up?."

"That bastard?"

But before they can replied to my sudden question Iris already said it in their stead.

"It's my pursuer."

"He is enemy?"

"Yes."

"I see,can I kill him?"

Hearing that everyone except Iris and Iris's mother froze.Brother jin then said..

"Lux,just for your information. Killing is a crime."

"It's not crime as long they don't find the proof."

"That's true but still-."

Iris suddenly interjected between our talk and said directly to me.

"Lux,Killing doesn't solve everything."

"They are enemy aren't they?"

"Yes."

"Then why I am not allowed to kill them?"

"Because this is not underworld anymore Lux."

Hearing that everyone reaction changed excluding iris's mother who just eat her food peacefully. But hearing term of underworld must surprised them greatly.Iris but ignored them and then said.

"Regardless of your upbringing,I am appreciate your feeling.Thank you lux."

"..Sight,what a naive girl."

In  the end,her stupid kidness hold her back again. Since she was child ,she always like this. Always stopped me from beating those who bullied her,yet she will become so rash and hit those people who mocked behind me. She should care herserf more.Forget it,the mood probably worsened because what I said or so I though.

"Your relationship is good as always."

Iris's father said that with forcedsmile.Iris's brother jin nodded.Iris's mother then suddenly said with full smile.

"Now,Now stop your flirting. The food won't eat by itself."

"Yes."

I replied while thinking,What I should do from now on. Should I gather recruit  gracia?Or I should just kill her. Depending on my action,our future can change greatly.If I take the right answer,then our chance to survive will boosted greatly.On otherhand ,if I choose the wrong answer then our live will be in danger.I have too little information to decide..I should gather more information about gracia first before I deciding my action.Soon my sister finished she then said.

"Thanks for the food.Lux after breakfast ,can we talk for a moment?"

...That last sentence. She purposely said that only I can hear. Looks like she want us to talk after this.I should go to talk to her once I finished my breakfast.I then finished my own breakfast then go to where my sister stay. She was focused on her phone ,after a minutes she noticed me. She put her phones away and then took out something from her pocket.It was the bow keychain I give to her.

"Lux,this bow. It's not normal bow right?"

"Of course not,I don't plan giving you defective one like that."

"Lux,This is not time to joke around. You know right?This bow is Magic bow right?"

"Yes,There was no way I giving unkown weapon for you. There is no need to worry sis,I have better in my hand."

"I know,but you realized right?This bow is underworld famous magic bow,The Silencer."

"...."

I undestimate my own sister.Looks like my sister wasn't normal girl at all..

"It's C rank Magic bow and was made by famous magicsmith.The Silencer is one  of the the best ranged weapon in our previous city and was used by group of assassin,The raven. It was said the bow was used to silence any witness and it's arrow was said able to track enemy to certain extend with minimum sound possible. There was only 1 kind of this weapon in underworld and The raven's group no longer exist. Lux,it was you right?Who killed them. Or I shall call you,the joker of underworld?"

"Are you angry sis?"

"I am angry at myself for not realizing it sooner. After all I don't know what kind of you live go through to enter underworld at your age."

"It wasn't your fault sis."

"No ,it was my fault.I,your sister failed to protect you. I am sorry lux."

My sister apologize again,Damn it. Didn't she know I hate apology?I become irritated and said to her.

"I already forgive both of you,that's why quit saying sorry for thing that I already forgiven.Beside you missunderstand one thing,I join underworld because I need to find information about certain group."

"Certain group?"

"You don't have right to know.After all both of you and Iris are to weak."

The group that I want to find out is related to my other childhood friend,the girl that I failed to protect.Still until now I found no information about that group. It wasn't because the group hide its well,it just the group was famous being an upright group. But it was to dangerous for others,underworld itself doesn't accept any commission related to this group.It should be fine if I tell them about it,but I want them to focus strengthen themselves first.

"Lux,I don't know what are you doing for you to do it secretly.I just you want to be careful okay?"

"I will try."

"Also Lux,come here for a second."

"?"

I go to in front of my sister then she begin pat my head.

"There there,good boy."

"....Sister mia,I am not kid anymore."

"It doesn't matter,you are my little brother. It's my job to reward you when you do a great job in surviving."

"Lies,you obviously only want to spoil me."

She didn't say anything and keep patting my head for 15 minutes. It's only stopped because Iris's come in and stopped her since we need to go.My sister obviously was dissatisfied with this but she do as she said and we go toward the place where we will be tested. On our way ,I noticed I have awakened new power,I try use it a bit but nothing happened.Sight forget it,For now let's focus on lover's ability first.

I activate the ability and notice most of the people I don't know have white color,but some of them orange red color even red.Orange mostly come from deliquent,but there is some adult mixed as well. For red there was only 1 -3 people for now,they were criminal and have threat to my live. As soon as we went past one of the red color immediately enter the bank and robbed it. I don't know what happened,but It isn't my concern.After all police already come and will take care of it.

"We arrived at last."

As Iris's parent car stop,we see a military in front of us.

"It's huge."

My sister said.

"It's expanded,So they get more fund now?"

Iris's said that as she look around.

"It's dangerous."

As I said and Notice there is group of red color people already waiting inside the base.Looks like there will be fight inside.
