271 Forbidden Skill

(Jane’s PoV)

Dear God, when would I get a chance to live like a normal person? I thought that after the issue about the borderline had been solved, I would finally have time for myself. Siji had even given me a confirmation that I could return to my study and continue my college life that has been postponed for months. I had been learning things that normal people wouldn’t learn in their whole life and I had been in constant touch with death and all I wanted was to quickly have a normal life.

I had not even started to think about what to do with the invitation from the ten rulers, but here I was, getting a threat from an unknown man who felt resentful with my father’s worldly affairs.

I mean, why now? Why didn’t this person confront my father ever since my father stopped ‘learning’? It must be around twenty years ago. It was a long time ago. What was he thinking? Also, his ability to manipulate spirit was not something new to me. I mean, I had not learned about it since Siji said that it was one of the forbidden skills for its maliciousness, but I had read it somewhere and I was sure Siji had talked about the evilness of this skill. It wasn’t impossible to do it and to be honest, I was quite curious as to how it worked.

Of course, Siji wouldn’t let me approach this skill in any means. Seeing someone using it openly made me surprised and at the same time triggered the curiosity in me. Should I ask Siji to teach me? Could he do it? Judging from the way he talked about it, I was certain that he could do it.

That Advisor of mine was too OP but he was too humble at the same time. Or, should I say that he was too lazy? Maybe it was because he was too old that he finally had enough of the world. His judgment was never wrong but sometimes he was over protective to me. Was it because of his trauma? After all, he experienced the change of Master for tens of decades already. Even if he was an astral citizen now, he could still feel the pain of losing someone.

But, was being over protective helpful for me?

However, how long would it take for me to master this skill if Siji were to agree to my request? How many months would I spend in seclusion to be able to become proficient at it?

These questions were haunting my mind that I lost myself in contemplation. Should I or should I not? Would he allow me or not? I knew for sure that I could only satisfy my curiosity by asking him directly, but to be honest, I wasn’t ready for the change in his face when he answered my questions.

.....

Were there any possibilities for me to deal with that mysterious person without knowing about this forbidden skill? I might sound arrogant but I didn’t think that I couldn’t take him or her down even without the skill. Then, if I were to ignore my curiosity towards this forbidden skill, I needed to use every means necessary to hunt this person down before he made a move.

Then, how? I’ve entered into the mind of a shadow before. Should I take a peek into the previous shaman’s mind? Hm, should I ask Tom to bring me to that shaman? But, I was afraid that he wouldn’t let me do it. As long as I didn’t know the danger of hunting down this man, I wouldn’t want to implicate any of them. Tom and Sanji needed time to recuperate and train themselves for the upcoming Grand Meeting. Siji and I were more than enough to deal with that man.

That’s what I thought.

I would ask Siji to put them into training mode and gave them a tight schedule for their training. It would be enough to keep them in their places and ignore me. Then, I would find another way to visit the shaman and break into her mind to find her employer.

I was lost in my own mind, planning a strategy to leave these two boys behind and heading towards that mysterious man, eager to find the answer to the identity of this man with my father. However, soon I realized that the two boys that I was trying hard to shake off was patiently waiting for me. Only a cautious call from Tom made me aware of their understanding of my own self.

Anyway, I still didn’t want them to follow me. Smiling widely to hide the guilty feeling inside, I looked back at them and urged them to go inside.

We had a talk about the possible identity of that man. I even thought that I finally had a lead since Sanji’s father was close friend of my own father. However, after a short conversation with his father, I knew that his father knew nothing about this mysterious man.

“Why don’t you ask your father directly?” Tom suggested.

I shook my head. Obviously asking my father was the quickest solution, but I also put the effect into a consideration. After finding out his daughter was attacked, there was no way my father would stay still. I was cutting off any psosibilities for them to meet again. Just let my father accompany my mother in England for several weeks or months until they were ready to come back.

“What if it were an ex lover? Not to mention this man or woman has some loose screws in her head. Will you take any responsiblity if my mother feels hurt after that?” I gave him a long glance, questioning him with an absurd possibility.

But, who knew? After all, even I didn’t know whether that person was a man or a woman.

Tom let out an awkward laugh and shook his head, indicating that he didn’t dare.

I sighed. “I will face this person later. For now, I will think about my new campus life. I have to return there within this month.” I put down the cup in my hands on top of the table and looked at Sanji who was still as cool as the first I saw him.

“What about you? Do you have any plan to return to the campus and teach?”

“No, I have another plan to do. But, I will still have time to pick you up from the campus.” Sanji shook his head.

“Hey, I can do that. You can just go mind your own business since you have another plan.” Tom butted in quickly. “Jane, will you return to my mother’s house?” His eyes were sparkling expectantly.

“I’m not that crazy. I’ll find another place to stay. After all, that room is yours.” I shook my head after shooting him a dirty glare.

“Why don’t you live in my house? You’ve been there before.” Sanji suggested. “Also, you know I have spare room for you there.”

He was right. But, living with one of them would make the other feel being left behind and I did’t want that. Therefore, again, I shook my head.

“No way! If she lives with you, I will move to your place, too.” Tom stated his stance fiercely.

“I’ll find another dormitory. If I were to live with one or the two of you, I am afraid it will be hard for you guys to hold back. Instead of betting into it and saying that you can do it, let’s just live separately to maximize our training.”

I was close to give myself a standing ovation for coming up with such genius idea. Seeing the stun look on their faces, I was sure they must not think about it.

“B-but, we are living together for months now. I mean, after that enlightment, we are living together just fine. We are fine right now, right? Why should we live separately?” Tom was adamantly refusing that idea of me living alone.

“I agree with him.” Strangely, Sanji agreed with him this time.

“Then, tell me, were you guys fine sleeping alone in your own room? Or did you come upstairs to my room, trying to get in but couldn’t do it since my door was always locked?”
