125 Aiwai (1/2)

”A week? With her speed? From where is she able to smell our bloodlines?”

Yale was thinking that after hearing the woman's words.

”Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Aiwai, a 9-star Master with a Frost Winged Wolf bloodline.”

The Master Rank was the Rank 6, and as she was at the 9-star, she was almost at the Rank 7. Of course, making that breakthrough was difficult, but as she still looked young, Yale believed that she would reach it someday.

”I am Yale, and she is my little sister Wyba.”

Yale introduced himself and Wyba politely, Aiwai seemed to be kind, but with her power, it was better to don't make her angry.

”I sense that your bloodlines are still rather undeveloped, you two are still too young after all. If your bloodlines were at their peak, I would have detected you before.”

It wasn't weird for kids with too powerful bloodlines to develop the bloodlines slowly as the half-beast growth, that was to reduce the effects on the body as a little kid would have problems controlling a big amount of power.

The reason why Wyba didn't advance even if she wasn't restricted was due to a similar reason; it wasn't strange that Aiwai thought that.

However, even if she was able to see through Yale's real age, that wasn't an age to have an undeveloped bloodline.

”Well, I have the same bloodline as Wyba, so she should have also identified it as undeveloped.”

Wyba and Yale didn't have undeveloped bloodlines; their bloodlines were in a developed state. However, Yale understood that thinking they had undeveloped bloodlines was more normal than discovering the truth about how both of them improved their bloodlines.

Furthermore, the only reason she was able to detect that much was that they had the same bloodline and she was overly sensitive to it.

Yale was still immersed in his thoughts when Aiwai continued.

”I came here to adopt both of you as my younger brother and my younger sister. I have never met anyone else who had my bloodline, and I lived alone a lot of time. Both of you are too young compared with me, so I can also adopt you like your mother, but I don't want to be disrespectful with your real mother, so as siblings is still alright.”

Aiwai said that for formality, but she thought that they hated their parents and being a mother would be something negative to them. She was thinking that Yale and Wyba had been rejected by others with the Frost Wolf bloodline due to being different.

That had happened to her when she was young, her bloodline was mutated, and she was far stronger than the others, so everyone feared her. They didn't expel her from the town, but she was tired of being seen as a weird phenomenon, and she decided to leave alone.

In such bloodline mutation cases, the firsts in treating you bad were the parents. They didn't show love for mutated bloodline kids; they only urge them to turn strong, grow and had a lot of kids.

Most half-beasts in that situation, being treated as objects to strengthen their clans, chose to leave as long they were powerful enough.

Aiwai never had friends or people who she considered family; the bloodlines were too important to half-beasts, only those with the same bloodline were capable of being truly close to each other.

Aiwai had given up making friends with other bloodlines as most of them only feared her, but when she smelled for the first time two people with the same bloodline as her, she rushed to meet them.

Yale and Wyba weren't real half-beasts nor had such story, but it was true that both of them didn't know anything about parental love and Yale didn't sense any belonging to the clans of his parents.

Wyba was about to start crying as she was remembering her mother about who she didn't remember anything besides she died to save her.

”Don't be sad. She did anything bad to you?”

At that moment, Yale was guessing that Aiwa had a wrong impression about Wyba's mother, so he explained to her.

”She died saving our lives when she was weak after giving birth. She managed to save us, but she died afterward due to the injuries of that day.”

Aiwai was surprised by that; she didn't know if she did it because she didn't notice the mutation or they had a really good mother. Evidently, although Yale was speaking about Wyba's mother, Aiwa considered her the mother of both.
