Chapter 51: Zakira’s Question (2/2)

“You may know about this already but I mention it anyway; a huge amount of magical energy is required to infuse a system inside a person's body, which is fortunately provided by the WST (indirectly). And for every system, WST uses magical energy of different characteristic signature every time.

“In fact, when magic is unlocked in the system after a few level ups, it is actually this exact same signature magical energy which is wielded by us to perform various things.”

Suddenly, Zakira’s face turns a little strange but she continues speaking...

“Now, I must confess, last night, I got a little taste of your magical energy through your blood. And even though I didn’t recognize it at that instant because of my frenzied state, but later I realized that the signature of that magical power matched exactly to that of what the WST is releasing in extreme quantities right now...” Zakira says.

Shit... she knows...

I look at Zakira fearfully for a few seconds but she doesn’t do anything in particular instead of looking back at me with a serious face.

Hmm? Why is she not doing anything if she knows?

Wait. Now that I think about it. If it is my magical energy which matched, then why does she think that Leo's system is affected?

This is getting even more confusing...

A little reluctantly, I tell Zakira about my doubt...

“I guess I need to tell you one more thing about magic because you probably wouldn’t have learned about it. But answer this first, you were talking with your friends moments before I kidnapped you yesterday, weren’t you Jacob?” Zakira asks.

“Yes, why?” I answer.

“Hmm... as I guessed. Listen carefully, Jacob. The body of every living creature is like a capacitor of magical energy. It absorbs magical energy from the surrounding regularly, and also, radiates it back.

“In fact, around 30% of the total magical energy inside our body is not the original signature one, but it is absorbed from living things around us.

“And yesterday, the magical energy which I recognized similar to that at the WST is not your original magical power but part of the 30% absorbed ones.

“Also, the reason I believe it was absorbed from Leo is because that energy was still the most prominent one in your blood among all external energies and well, as you said, the last people you saw were your friends...” Zakira finishes.

Fuck! Is this really true?

My magical energy didn’t matched with the one at WST but Leo's did?

But then, why is my system broken? It is because of something entirely different from what I was thinking?

Damn...

“Anyway, you should not worry much because Leo is not the only one. According to our research, a few other students should be affected by this as well... and we have orders to investigate them all,” Zakira tells me.

....

I don’t know what to say anymore...

“Anyway, I just wanted to let you know about this. And yeah, I have to do a lot of work for the upcoming tournament and I don’t think I can come back to see you— I mean, check on you again except in school...” She says while turning a little red.

“Hmm? Good...” I say.

It’s not like I fancy meeting someone who has almost killed me before...

“Good? W-What do you mean by “good”? Y-You are my s-slave and should be sad by this...” she says stutteringly.

Why are you starting to stutter so much, all of a sudden?

Suspicious...

Though it doesn’t look like Zakira only wants me to be sad about this fact...

“A-And because we won’t be seeing each other for a while, as your m-m-master, I command you to... Let me drink your blood again.”
