In the training Hall.
Harris with his hand on my back examined my internals.
He dropped his jaw in shock when I told him that the resistance I had in my mana flow was resolved.
I gave all kinds of excuses and lie I could to cover up.
I explained about my fight with the dungeon and every day how I exhausted my entire mana and so nice people offered mana recovery potions.
"Hmm. It seems logical that in your hunt you have used mana too much to overco the resistance. Still it is hard to believe".
It may be hard to believe but what else can I say. The potion I brought from the system was very much effective and there is no residue left in the system.
Even the low stamina and strength potions were much better than their counterparts that sold in the market.
If I sell them I could surely earn a few million
"Now that you have sorted out the problem in your body. Let's start the sword practice".
"I would love to".Griping my sword we started my sword training but it looked like so children's play in Harris's eyes.
Clang... Tang...
My sword training went on as usual till the beginning of class.
This week I found that I was getting so unusual stared from the classmates around .
This must be due to my change in heights and my face becoming more refined.
Harris surely must have noticed it but he didn't ask . He was the type of person who doesn't like to pry into others' privacy.
It was quite botherso but after so days I have lded with class and the stares I was getting vanished as if no one was interested.
If I was the son of so noble they would have surely looked for for currying favour but after all, I am typical nobody.
The week passed quickly and it was ti for another dungeon round.
But this ti I decided to et Scotch before going to hunt.
After all who knows what kind of adversary I may face this ti and returning it was quite hard to do a eting with soone.
I asked for a personal eting so Aaron decided to give us so privacy in the eting room.
We both sat in front of each other. Scotch took a sip of his coffee curiously looking at .
He must be quite amused when I asked him to et. He must think what does this greenhorn want from , sothing along those lines.
I tried to put on a serious face.
"Mister Scotch, I have so information which may be highly valuable for you".
Scotch didn't say anything and only stared at .
After all, Scotch was a master of hacking and can get most of the information he want.
" I have the information of the person who has caused the death of your teammates."
Crack.
The words rang like thunder in Scotch's ears he was so shocked he broke the cul with his grip.
Staring at like a hawk he said: "Lucas, I don't know where you get to know this but if it is a joke. I swear you're gonna pay for it with your life. Also if you know this much you should know I can't let you go".
Gulp.
I knew sothing like this was happening but a person threatening you sitting before you makes it quite hard for you to continue.
"Listen I know it may sound like a joke. But trust I have no bad intention. You can use a lie detector to check ".
I knew Scotch was monitoring my heartbeat with his advanced equipnt.
Nodding his head he took the bracelet and signalled to wear it.
This bracelet monitors your body and sends reading in case of lie just like lie detector in my previous life.
"Now I want a deal with you. I want your unconditional support and to use your skills when I asked".
" What if you are just lying. I will think about it after listening to your words".
"You can know if I am lying or not isn't it".
"You knew I don't have a strong background so I want your help to have an information network".
"You know the value of information in this era and I also know many things about you so why don't you first listen to what I say today and decide".
"I know so of the past and future events. Think of this as I can see a random vision of futures".
" The one who stabbed back at your team was Count Holes. You have sohow destroyed his business. So he decided to wipe your team out using his connection before you reach him out".
"He also has so relations with the villain society".
Scotch's face started to change from anger to shock and then admiration. I don't why he looking at with admiration.
I gave him details, I could rember and removed the bracelet. Till now I have spoken the truth but I don't know if I had to resort to lying after this so I took it out before speaking more.
Even if he is unconvinced I would just not answer more and feign ignorance.
Rubbing his forehead Scotch thought for all possible things.
"I think I get a gist of it".
" The things you know and can see the future. I guess you have the power of seer".
"Seer... what?"
" Seer are the people who can see random pictures of future. But they can't see everything they want. They can just piece of it".
I don't know in which direction was this conversation heading on. It was entirely different from what I have expected. He believed quite easily and the part of being seer I don't know anything about that. I don't even rember if that was ntioned in the novel or I just skipped that part finding it boring.
"Are there seer in this world or are you joking".
His face was too serious for a joke.
" I am not in the mood to joke after all it is a matter of my dead friends and my vow to get revenge for them so that they can rest in peace in eternal life"
" Since you have said this let tell this top secret and classified. Not many people know but seers were certainly present in the past. I have read so records as you know of my work. After all, there is no need to hide as you already know so much".
"I have also heard seer that doesn't live so long".
" Why".
"I don't know it may be due to the price they have to pay to see the future or sothing else. Also I have just read I don't know for sure if it's truth or lie".
"After all if soone with this ability is still alive we would have known it or there may be the chance only King of the nation to know sothing".
" So I advise you not to use this ability unless required".
" So now that I have said everything you need to know. How about my deal".
"I believe you but not wholeheartedly cause who know there may be sothing different after you all you may just know pieces".
" But still you have given lead which is more than enough for to get to the end. About your deal, I don't think I have anything to lose after all I will just give you all the information you want".
"You may have to hack so system if I require in future".
Scotch frowned"I warn you before I don't want to help you in build illegal society like a villain".
My lips twitched hearing his reply. In which angle do I look like a villain or criminal.
" Do I look like a criminal to you"?
"No that's not what I ant".
" Let's get to the point. We have a deal or not".saying I moved my hand forward.
Scotch still has so slight hesitations. He stared at for a mont.
"Please don't have any second thought".I prayed in my heart. I need his help. His help can save a lot of money. After all, nobles spend millions to hire people to get the background information and not all people hired are successful as the person in front of , as he has a vast information network.
Sigh.
" Ok" letting go of his fears we shake hands.
pᴀɴda nᴏvel "From today we are sowhat partner".
Scotch was amused thinking the words childish but didn't think much after all Lucas was still 16 years old at the end.
" Partners ".
Before leaving I t with Reynolds giving him so of the potions I have brought from the system in the dungeon.
I asked him to sell. The stingy man didn't leave until I gave him a commission.
After raising my blood pressure with his argunt we finally settled at 80 to 20.20 per cent was his commotion for helping sell.
He even forced to sign a contract to avoid any future trouble.
He may be stingy but he is quite nice.. He didn't say but he wanted to teach to be prudent while doing any business and not to trust anybody's words in business.
