Please meet me behind the church
What is this kid what from me? Did he really wants to check on my health that much? Well I want to talk to him anyway so there's no reason for me not to go
"Young master where are you going?"
"Oh Violet, I just to go for a walk and look around the church'
"Let me accompany you young master"
"No I just want to walk by myself"
"But-"
"No but, if you follow me I'll never cook anything for you again"
"No young master please... Fine you can go"
Edmond go behind the church to meet Lune who is wait for him
"Thank you for coming young lord Edmond"
"No need to be formal"
"No how can I-"
"If you still insisted on being formal I'll be going, I'm actually quite uncomfortable with it, there's no one who listen to our conversation anyway right?"
"Actually there's might be"
"What? Who?"
"Just a hunch, so I'm only comfortable with being formal if I still have this hunch, so please if you respect me"
"Fine then so what do you want? Still want to check on my health?"
"Yes, would you allow me young lord?"
"Sure"
Lune press his hand on Edmond chest for a minute that feel like an hour
"Young lord I'm done,I look into your body as deep as I can for now"
"Found anything interesting"
"Two things actually"
"Enlightened me"
"You was cursed"
"Wait what? What kind of curse was it?"
"I don't know either, but your curse wasn't in your physical body that why father Edward doesn't found it"
Wasn't in my physical body? Then where was it?
"Wait before anything else, since you seems really good at this how can holy power user inspect something anyway, wasn't holy power was something like nullification power?"
"Well let's me ask you this, what do you think of how can I know how can I nullify something or not"
"Um.... You just try to nullify it?"
"Pretty close, I'll try my best to explain it, if I try to think to nullify something I'll know if I can nullify it or not and was that something was good or not, and depending on how many holy power the user have they can try to nullify something deeper in living body that even they don't know it exist and the more holy power the more details about something they trying to nullify, so in young lord Edmond case I looked really deep inside you even beyond your physical form and find something bad inside you which can only means curse but I don't have enough power to can see the details so it's not even close for me to nullify it"
"It's okay, I doesn't feel anything weird anyway so it probably wasn't anything big, more importantly what decided what's good or bad though?"
"Probably the goddess Gaphine herself decided that, but the good thing is the main thing we nullify are injury sickness and curse anyway which can only be bad thing"
"And if holy power can nullify anything, can it nullify life itself?"
"In theory yes, but even I don't know how much holy that needed to even nullify one life, but if I have to guess, maybe 100 archbishop can nullify one gorilla?"
Who's actually is this kid? How did he know this much?
"How can you understand this much? yet you're so young? Did other priest even know this much details?"
"No, other priest just thinking they just have analysis power as another gift from Gaphine but to be fair that wasn't really wrong, I experiment with it by myself to know how it actually work, so you can say that I'm a genius, and also young lord Edmond are around my age yet keep up with my explanation perfectly"
This is really weird is, it hard to believe that this kid will die
"So what is another interesting thing you found in my body?"
"..."
"Lune what wrong?"
"Now that I think about it, I shouldn't told you the other one, I'm imagining it will only have negative effect if you know it"
"Man, now I want to know even more, but I trust you so I won't ask more about it"
"Thank you for your kindness"
I can't let this talent go to waste
"Will you come live and work for Davies? I'm sure there's a place for you there"
"Again thank you for your kindness but I have to turn your offer down"
"Why?"
"I'm already happy in the church"
"I'm guaranteed life there will be so much better, is there's anything you want? I can get it for you!"
"No I will be the happiest here"
"Can I at least know the reason why? There's someone important to you here?"
"No It's was because..."
"Because???"
"The church uniform are so cool"
....
That night
"What kind of reasons is that!? To turn such a comfortable life down!"
Edmond alone in his room complaining to himself
"Or is was because I'm ugly that he don't want to work for me but doesn't to be rude so he came up with that kind of excuse?"
Edmond look in the mirror looking at his blonde hair and pink eyes
"Now that I think about it, Edmond doesn't look bad at all, did I don't care about his look because he's an extra?"
Anyway if what Lune said really an excuse then the problem definitely not with me, maybe with Davies as a family? Did he know about Davies family that I doesn't know? or he just doesn't work for noble in general?
"Well there's no use thinking more about this! Since I healed so let get back to training"
Tonight Edmond decided to fight goblins, he found a group of goblin without any special one and no way to called for reinforcement, only ordinary goblin
"I've seen something like this in media enough to do this like a pro"
He enhanced his body with magic and cover a stick with his aura then charge at them swinging a stick defeat them with ease
"Did I overestimated them? Let's just raid thier village next then"
He found a goblin village with one goblin shaman, the shaman was properly guard by other goblin so with his current power he have no way to take down the Shaman first but he's still charging at them anyway
The goblin was caught off guard by an opponent that as small as them but even more agile than them yet stronger than them
"WAAGHH!!"
The shaman cast magic to buff other goblin that still left, for a moment the goblins seems to have an advantage in this fight, but Edmond already gain enough momentum for that not to be matters, even with shaman shooting attacking magic at him he still dodge easily
"Eat this!"
Edmond grab a stone knife from one of the corpse and throw it into the shaman head killing it
"Seems like my aiming is still good!"
As shaman die a few goblins that still left too afraid to fight and ran away
"This is pretty good, maybe orc next? Any way I'm taking this"
He take a shaman staff from the shaman body
"This is better than my current stick"
Then he heard some strange noise
"Is that a lich?"
He walking towards where the voice is coming from and he saw something that he definitely wasn't expecting to see today, something that doesn't make any sense, or maybe it was something that make everything make more sense, a possibility that he didn't think about it before until now
"May Gaphine have mercy on your soul"
What he saw is Lune defeat a lich with nothing but his bare hands
