14 Uncertainty (1/2)
___
What the people thought of Nero was a complete lie, a facade, in reality. Only one person knew of an inkling of Nero's real personality.
The respected One, or as Nova called him, Big Boy Chief.
When meeting with Chief, Nero couldn't help but show his excitement when learning geography or history. Nero's consciousness was quite new to working with emotions, so even with so many memories, Nero fit the act of a child quite well.
Nova had already found symptoms of emotional jumps, a sudden impulse in Nero's thoughts being carried out physically, though this was at a very slight level and only at night, things like twitching for example.
The chief never actually noticed how Nero was out of character when teaching him about the world because he felt on top of the world to have a paragon beyond paragon as his disciple. This was especially true as he could finally prove wrong those from the 'higher place', the nobles.
He taught Nero about them quite clearly, even questioning his origins as his talent was even greater compared to a Noble.
Nobles.
A superior race of humans, or as they called themselves, that lived beyond the ocean, a 'higher place' as they called it. These people were overwhelmingly talented in terms of magic and even the weakest of them was a slayer level mage, that, at around the age of 50!
No one, according to the chief, had achieved that realm of manipulation at such a young age in the Village.
Nero understood that it must be because of some external factor that they advanced so quickly on the path of magic to reach proficient control so quick when a slayer, to the people of Pinnacle, symbolized god.
To Nero, it was a simple objective he could achieve easily with his intellect.

In the ancient temple, in the bare land outside the ruins.
”Aye... Goodey Son, How's ye fairin' today?” Said the abnormally tall giant while in a meditative position slightly different to normal, with his neck snapped back, almost looking like he died with his neck snapped.
”Ello Ello, I'm good, old man, how are ya?” came a cheerful reply.
”Oh, I'm quite alright, I 'ad som' Prawn'lla today, it was a delicacy, thas fer sure” Chief delightedly said, taking his tongue out to taste the air.
”Ah rightey! I ain't told ye about the comin' events 'ave I? So-”
'Nova, translate him for me will you?'

”-the yearly noble visit is soon, I really want to show you off, is that okay?” heard Nero, still in a gruff voice.
”Uhh, Yeah sure, just don't get me in trouble, I'd rather not get killed because I offended some guy with an inferiority complex with my skill, Oh, and I forgot to tell you last week, I condensed mana to basic amateur level.”
”Alright, will not get you in trouble, just- wait, WHAT? ALREADY!?” and a face that perfectly described the word 'flabbergasted' quickly followed.
Like before, awe and joy followed, but Nero felt quite bored and slightly alone.
