"Oh, so your awake?"

"I know it's confusing right, you're probably asking how and where but..."

With a fist, I hit the guy who cased illusion magic on me...

His head went right and it hung low, a purple bump forming on his left cheek

He can't do anything he is tied to a tree outside the town, I passed the farmlands and then some to get this far away, I'm about let's say near the cave John awoke in but at the same time pretty far...

This trivia doesn't matter but-

Looking into this guy's eyes he is terrified!

I grab him by the hair and take out an item from my pocket

"This little device you had made me unaware of your existence due to me not being able to pick you up from my mana sensory..."

His eyes are shaking as is his body but...

"ANSWER ME!"

"THUMP"

Another hit connected to his face, at the same spot and now he is bleeding

His head went farther down to the right and he stood in that position, well not that he can do anything more than squirm and move his head, good thing I decided to "borrow" this rope

This guy's physique is so thin, I thought John was thin but he has some muscles but this guy's form is so female like it's absurd, where is his pride in becoming strong?

Oh, he's moving his head upright he better say something...

"Y-You..."

Fear has gotten him, he probably doesn't want to be manhandled

I say nothing and just stare at his eyes

"YOU'LL REGRET THIS!"

And so he says, is he trying to make me feel frightened?

"Oh, will I now?"

"Your power is 25,000 times less than mine what do you plan to achieve?"

Looking at him with a smug face, I tilt my head still making eye contact

"I W-WILL MAKE SURE OF IT!"

"MY DAD IS A COMMANDER OF THE KINGDOM OF SPINIS, I'LL MAKE SURE YOU'LL GET WHAT'S COMING TO YOU"

"DIRTY LIGNIUM RAT!"

He spoke to me as if I was a dirty commoner

"You think your daddy will know about his son being buried in a remotely located area?"

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

"Your latent magic ability is so weak, surprised you knew some illusion magic but I made sure if I decide to let you live you won't be using any more of that"

"YOU ARE JUST A RAT"

"Am I now?"

I put my fist back and drive a punch to his face

"Oh, so I am a weak dirty rat?"

Over and over and over

"BOW, BOW, BOW, BOW, BOW"

So weak, SO WEAK

"YOU DARE CALL ME A DAMN RAT?!"

"SOMEONE AS WEAK AS YOU, MADE ME THIS IRRITATED"

"I MADE SURE YOU WOULD NOT CAST ILLUSION MAGIC BUT HELL YO WILL NEVER USE MAGIC AGAIN"

I stop hitting his blood-drenched face and grab him by the shirt, as he is tied in the tree

I focus energy into his magic gate and then black energy forms around his chest and my arm

No response from him eh?

Well, I did make him into tomato paste!

"Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

I put more and more of my mana into his magic gate, overcharging it until...

"SPEEEWSH"

I feel a whole bunch of energy, my energy comes in echos through his body, I did it I broke his gate

He will no longer be a threat to anyone, his girly physique means he has no strength either

Still, he is out cold...

The ropes are tight enough so that he doesn't fall as I previously stated, his head is hanging towards the right drenching the grass with blood

I know what he wanted to do with me, he wanted to control me due to I'm guessing the amount of mana I give off

Such greed no pride, it disgusts me

With my hand still on his chest I absorb all the energy I gave him and then some

Maybe I should kill him?

. . .

I thought about it but no,

I already broke his gate, and he will have to live in humiliation knowing that he can no longer train his magic but now has to train his body and that person was what he said a "Lignium Rat"

I stand up since I was crunching all this time to be at his level since he was tied up

I think I should leave this at that and untie this greedy bastard...

Wait a minute-

I close my eyes and try to sense his mana

What the hell is this?

His mana structure is similar to...

The Warlock of Greed Avarus

"Eam Sana"

I healed him with the weakest healing spell

I go back down and I grab him by the collar slamming him to the tree, making him jolt and wake up opening his eyes in shock

"Avarus Magna..."

I looked at him dead in the eyes with a stern expression, if he says the wrong thing I will kill I'm instantly...

"Oh, so you know about my family?"

He said with a cocky expression even though he was half beaten

"Family?"

Oh so this guy is the-

"NOW UNHAND ME RAT, I AM THE DESCENDANT OF THE ALMIGHTY AVARUS MAGNA"

A smile grew and grew as I stared into his soul

"Hey kid, wh-"

"IM NOT A KID, IM 19!"

"huh?"

THIS GUY IS MENTALLY OLDER THAN JOHN?!

I had a shocked yet confused face and looked at him again

I released the grip of his shirt and took a good look at him

This guy had long brown hair short eyebrows, a small face, a small body, really feminine and he is 19 and the descendant of one of the targets of my revenge...

"That is something..."

I just want to rest now, today has been a long day, but if I can make this kid guy into a servant or something I shall call it a win

"What did you plan to use me if you managed to control me?"

He turned his damaged face away and spoke

"Revenge..."

Revenge that is interesting

"So you wanted to use me as a way to do selfish acts?"

"Did you get rejected and want to kill the woman's boyfriend is that it?"

"SHOULD HAVE ASKED ME FOR ADVICE AHAHAHA!"

I laughed and the so-called noble looked sad

"I am supposed to get married for a political stunt, so I changed how I look to resemble a girl and I got harshly beaten by my father and family members..."

Revenge to your own lineage, I can get a hold of that...

"Question, do you perhaps know what is causing this weird mana distortion?"

I asked due to well I honestly do not know what's happening with that

"Why should I tell you that, you practically treated me like my fathe-"

"I'll help you out in your little game of selfish revenge if you answer me"

I interrupted him assuring him that I would help him out, his father is closer related to Avarus Magna so I can make deal with him

But helping someone who is a descendant from Avarus Magna does not sit tight with me, so I will be making him my little "helper"

"YOU WILL?!"

I hate cherry top people like this...

I literally almost beat him to death broke his magic gate and now they think I'm a saint, so I have to ask

"How much do you love your father?"

"I wish him death"
