Cosmic Ruler
Chapter 73 Tainted
Jake followed Sylans, who then performed a lot of tests on Jake, both through magic and science.
"Hmm, all your tests gave you a yellow signal," Sylans said, looking at the data he collected.
"What''s the yellow signal?" Jake asked.
"It means you are perfectly fine, which is abnormal given you were sleeping for a whole month straight," Sylans said.
"So, yellow means fine but not fine?" Jake queried.
"You can say that," Sylans replied, allowing him to leave his lab.
"I feel like half of my blood was donated for the tests," Jake mumbled as he came out of the mad doctor''s lab.
"He took a magic test and then a science test," Jake complained, remembering the torture he went through.
"I understand those check-ups, but is science even necessary here?" Jake pondered.
[Stop complaining already.]
[The people waiting for you are now feeling embarrassed about whether to talk to you or not.]
Jake took a deep breath to calm himself and then started walking back to his mansion. Just as he turned a corner, he found a bunch of teachers waiting for him.
"Can I help with something?" Jake asked politely.
"Yes, if you can, can you show us the memories of the War Monarch?" a glasses-wearing guy stepped forward and said.
"I can''t," Jake refused.
The teachers nodded and then said, "We understand, but just the scenes of battles will be enough."
Jake nodded and copied the false story to the memory crystal.
"Thank you," the teacher said, handing Jake something.
"This is the code for a limited edition egg for World''s End."
"We pooled our money for this," the teacher said, and others smiled and bid farewell to Jake.
"Wasn''t the price of the limited edition egg around a million perfect mana stones?" Jake looked at the coupon code and mumbled.
[Yes, it seems they are really grateful.]
[Well, it is a given. They might gain enlightenment from a Monarch fight.]
Jake nodded and then reached his mansion.
"Luna, I hope you have made something delicious for me?" Jake said upon entering.
"I have," Luna said, and then a month''s worth of food was displayed for Jake.
"I have been cooking every day for the past month," Luna said.
Jake looked at the amount of food and called his friends.
After some time, his friends arrived.
"Man, you''re back," Mark and Jimmy hugged him.
"Welcome back," Emily hugged him too.
Jake looked at his friends in confusion and asked Luna secretly.
"They were told you were on a mission for special students," Luna replied.
And Jake facepalmed upon hearing her speak so loudly.
"We were told? What does that mean?" Emily glared at Jake and asked.
Jake then explained what happened, and the others nodded.
"So, you got a Monarch legacy. So cool," Jimmy said.
"Now you will be even stronger," Mark added.
"Congrats, Jake," Emily smiled.
Jake nodded and then asked, "Where is Dio?"
"We don''t know."
"Suddenly he vanished too."
In anguish and pain, Dio''s resentment is tainting his own pure Life Core.
"Soon, all the Fey folks of his bloodline will sense it."
"And it will be a bloodbath after that."
"Granvis Clan will soon perish," Sylan said.
"It''s a given; Fey folks aren''t forgiving," Ragur, who was listening to Sylan''s reports, nodded.
"But I am more worried about him," Myne said as she looked at Dio.
"We can''t do anything," Michael said.
"His mother seemed to be tortured," Luna looked at the markings on Dio and said.
"Yes, a significant amount of resentment is also coming from her," Rami nodded and said.
"How should we handle it?" Ragur asked.
"Let him do what he wants and cut all the connection with Granvis Clan" Rami said as he looked at Dio.
Ragur and others looked at each other and then Myne said " But Tainted ones are dangerous to Living..."
Myne stoped as Rami looked at her.
"then what do you suggest?, we kill him?" Rami asked.
"Tainted ones are uncontrollable beasts, we can''t risk others just for him" Ragur said.
Rami looked at each of them and said " pathetic" He then picked up Dio and vanished from there.
"what should we do?" Sylan asked.
"What can we even do?" Michael and others wryly replied.
Tainted ones are a collective name for Nature Wrath; it is a manifestation of the sins every living being has committed, and this manifestation''s only goal is to kill until it is killed or destroyed.
Normally, it is found in spirits who are harmed by their contractors, but in rare cases, Fey folks also show this phenomenon.
"Well, it''s Rami we are talking about."
"Surely he won''t let him loose."
"By the way, how can the Granvis Family make such a low-level mistake?" Luna asked.
"He is dual-core; he must have hidden his Life Core," Sylan said.
"That is indeed possible."
"Which means he is either from a branch family or a bastard child."
"He must be, or there is no reason for him to hide his dual cores."
"Now, that I think of it, won''t it solve the problem of his Tainted core?" Sylan suddenly said.
Everyone looked at him and nodded.
"That is true."
"He might have some anger issues, but that''s it."
"Does Rami know of this?"
"He might; his eyes are special, even more so than mine," Ragur nodded and said.
"Well, it is solved then," Michael shrugged and said.
"Does he have any friends?" Luna asked.
Sylan nodded and passed them a file.
"Great, now even if Fey leave them, I doubt he will," Ragur said.
"It seems even the Gods want the Granvis family to be destroyed."
"Is there someone special among his friends?" Myne asked.
"You were sleeping, so you didn''t know, but this Jake Dreamstar is now the chosen of the War Monarch," Ragur said as he showed Jake''s file to her.
"It''s still not decided, you know," Michael said.
Myne looked at Jake''s photo and read about him.
"Given his personality, that seems to be the case," Myne nodded, agreeing with them on the topic of Jake killing the Granvis Clan.
