The Mysterious Black Magician

Chapter 273 - The Most Gifted Child In The History Of Mankind...



HE pulled his body and saw his sister sleeping in the same position she was before. Beside her was his deity, Sistela.

Yman reached his hand to brush her hair. A second later, her head twitched and slowly moved upward.

"B-Brother?" He said in a startled voice. Seeing her reaction, only proved that he was right. "Yana, your spell was so strong!" He said in excitement with twinkling eyes. Yman knew that his sister had an abundance of mana. But he never thought that she was capable of casting such a spell.

"...."

Yana fell silent for a second from her brother\'s reaction. Then her face turned to a face that was guilty.

"B-B-Brother… a-are you angry?" She asked him in a quivering low voice.

"..."

"Hehe," she heard a light chuckle from him. "Of course, not. Why would I get angry at my cute younger sister… no way that would happen…" he said while maintaining a smile on his face. She glanced at her brother\'s eyes. Then she sighed in relief after noticing that he was serious. "S-Sorry, bro, for what I did." She said with a sunken face.

Sigh.

He sighed.

Then he glanced in her eyes with a serious face. Yman knew that just by saying that he wasn\'t angry could not abate the guiltiness his sister was feeling at the moment. "Regardless, can you tell me why you did that?" He said while crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow.

Looking at him, Yana was taken aback. She could feel that he was a little mad at her. In a half-crying face, she opened her mouth. "B-because, I\'m afraid that bro will leave me again…"

"..."

Yman fell silent for a second.

"Silly!"

Flick!

Aw!

He said and flicked her forehead. Yana tapped it out of reflex, to where he flicked her. Although it wasn\'t a strong flick, it caused pains that could not be ease so easily. 

Even Though it was dim inside, the illumination coming from the moon was enough to discern the expression on his face. She saw him in a mad expression. "Eh?" Yana yelped and sank back. A bead of tear was forming at the sides of her eyes. Especially that it was the first time that she received such treatment from her bro.

Looks like she made him mad at her after all. Yana wanted to cry. No, she was probably holding her tears from bursting.

However, she heard his brother saying, "There\'s no way I will do that!"

"Eh?"

She stared at him and saw him shaking his head while caressing it with his hand. "There\'s no way I will do that…" he repeated. Then continued, "If I planned on doing that, I would have never come back here in the first place…" he reached out and caressed her face. 

"But…" Yana said while looking straight into his eyes. But she seemed to falter.

"Hmm?" He sought for the continuation of her words.

"Y-you already have some girls that you like... W-When time comes, y-you will leave me regardless…"

"..."

Yman blinked his eyes. Then he sighed. "Yana…" he called out calmly and his mouth extended to both sides. Seeing her eyes on him, he opened his mouth once again. "That future is indefinite—-"

"Even though you almost kiss someone?!" She suddenly interjected which made him gawk. 

Right. His sister was on the audience podium at that time.

"Ah, it\'s in the heat of the moment only… hehe, like that…" he said while looking away, trying to scan for a better way to escape from this entanglement. "And I\'m not the one who made the first move… ahem!"

"You like her, right?"

"Eh?"

\'How the hell I\'m the one being questioned,\' he exclaimed inwardly. But seeing her seeking eyes, he sighed once again. "M-maybe…"

"And you stole a kiss from Miss Rea! Not only that, but you also grope the wolf girls\' bo—!"

"Guwah!" Yman fell from the bed with his face hit the floor. "Y-Yana… h-how did you know that?"

"I can\'t only interfere with the person\'s body that under my illusion, I can also peek what\'s on their minds."

"The heck! What kind of op ability is that. Unfair you know. Your brother here has to suffer some hell just to get a little stronger."

Yman wanted to shudder from what he heard from his sister. Probably, her ability could read what her target was thinking while her target was under her illusion. But she could only read what was on their minds when she was peeking into it. And depending on what the target was thinking at that moment, it was the memory she could read from the target.

Maybe that time when he was in hysteria. He thought the almighty creator punished him for doing those bad things. First, whenever, he saw Cinde sleeping he would try to poke and grope her tempting boobs. Well, out of curiosity only. Not for lewding. Actually. Maybe. Perhaps.

The second was that time when he stole a kiss on Rea\'s face.

Dammit! Having your secret known by your sister was so embarrassing. A white soul came out from his mouth and was being sucked into heaven. 

Suddenly, 

"Bro, don\'t change the topic! Humph!" She said in a pout.

Fortunately, though, Yana did not seem to read the part when he was thinking about the demon. Regardless, her ability wasn\'t good to be known by the masses. 

Well, she could also be an agent. 

He pulled his body and did a dogeza on the floor. "Sister, please keep it a secret from everyone until I say my sorry to them!" He said with his head on the floor. Yana sighed and nodded. Good grief. She thought.

Then she saw her brother suddenly turn serious. "And besides, you\'re the only family I have. So no matter what happened, I won\'t leave. There\'s no way that will happen."

"P-promise?"

"Mhm! Promise…"

Tears finally fell from her eyes. "Sorry for my selfishness bro! Waaaah!!!" She jumped and hugged him.

Yman had to comfort her for a couple of hours.

"Uhm, Yana…"

"Ha?"

"I hope you\'ll never use that ability of yours in a reckless way."

"Uhmm…."

"I don\'t want something bad to happen with you again."

Seeing his eyes, Yana could feel that he was serious.

"O-okay."

"And also… please don\'t speak to others about my secret."

"..."

Looks like it was fine this time not to say a promise. So that she could use it against her brother whenever he tried to do something again she disliked. Nonetheless, she trusted him. After all, she could feel that her brother was different from an ordinary person. She wondered what happened to him after the two of them were separated.

That time she broke her mana container after discharging super-dense mana. She did it to help him from their parents, who tried to sell her brother to those people.

Their parents were former Magic Soldiers working under the government. At first, they lived so happily. But everything had changed when their parents became addicted to gambling. They started doing illegal means and even went to the extent of repeatedly hurting their children. Her brother would come to take all the beating just to exclude her. They were just children at that time. Their bones weren\'t strong enough to handle the beating of their parents.

There came a time when she saw her brother faint and blood was gushing out of his mouth, nose, eyes, and even ears. He was so weak and she knew that he was on the verge of dying.

Luckily, her strong desire to save him enabled her to awaken her mana much earlier. She was able to save him.

She was recorded as the most gifted child in the history of mankind. The first child who awakened her mana earliest among the rest. Her name was even recorded in the Book of Extraordinary Feats.

Her parents were so proud of her. They looked at her like they were looking at the most expensive jewel in the world.

She was happy, because of it they would stop hurting her brother anymore. But she was wrong. She was naive. Yeah, they stopped beating him. But they excluded him from the family. Especially when the day of celebration that was known as the Turning Point or also known as The Awaking Month. It was a full month celebration. Where children who were yet to awaken would do some light training. The goal of it was to awaken the children.

She was excited for her brother.

However, after a month, when most of the children had finally awakened, her brother was one of those who didn\'t make it.

Being the brother of the most talented child in history, most people were expecting great from him.

However, he became the center of jokes from all of them. Even their parents had started to lose interest in him. No, actually, they excluded him from the family.

Because of the praises, she got from the people around her, she lost sight of her brother. She forgot about his consequences.

There was a time when her brother didn\'t come home. It was one night, in which fierce dogs were hassling the town.
