Chapter 31
Chapter 31 : Life is always unpredictable (2)
There are not a few ways to aim for a rise in status in the Empire. Even the current Middle stratum were those who received such benefits.
Capable talents are helpful to a family in some way. It is natural for nobles to lead followers, choose sponsorship, and expand their power.
“We, the Layen family, want you.”
Therefore, Leo Ren’s statement could also be interpreted in a similar context. It is embarrassing to say with my own mouth, but I had become a human worth that much.

“Oh…….”
“Don’t be impressed.”

Milo, who was eavesdropping on this, was showing more interest than hostility before I knew it. If this statement was true, it was something with no loss. It was general to think that way.
‘Generally speaking, that is.’
It was not a very attractive thing to me. Being placed under their influence meant bondage along with the loss of independence.
There might be advantages in the short term, but there was a high possibility it would become a stumbling block for me in the future.

“I am sorry, but I am not intere…….”
“It will be a status beyond your guess.”
At this, Leo Ren put on a contrived smile as if he had been waiting and spoke. I do not know if there was a case where I could have connections with nobles other than what I know. The only thing I can think of is…….
“Are you saying you will even register me into the family?”

If it was such a thing, it was an absurd matter. Groups that value bloodlines do not easily let in outsiders. It is because situations that cause losses both internally and externally are bound to occur.
“It would have a similar meaning.”
Ẃе̂bn̄оv̀ӗ l Еǹü m̆ ǎ
“Similar?”
“……Because you will be offered an engagement to Asuka Layen, the one who will become the successor of the family.”
However, Leo Ren’s statement far exceeded my expectations.
“W, Wait! Then you are saying you are trying to bring this bastard, no, Jin in as a son-in-law?”
“You are correct.”
“Oh…….”

Milo blinked his eyes while spitting out admiration again despite my warning. Only after noticing that I was glaring neurotically did he gauge my reaction and whisper carefully.
“The Layen family’s position is quite significant! Do you think an opportunity like this is common?”
“Just shut up, because I know.”
The Layen family has risen to a not-bad position despite being a foreign bloodline. However, it was natural not to be tempted by this. Antipathy is hidden beyond Leo Ren’s kindness.
“So you mean you did a background check on me?”
“I will apologize once again for the unpleasant incident that occurred in the process.”
Е́ ṅ u̇ mа̃ . і̊ ḋ
“It seems you didn’t learn that lying goes against etiquette.”
“What do you mean…….”

“You just don’t like me, right?”
Even if Leo Ren was playing the role of the leader of the Middle stratum, his orders or instructions could not be absolute. It meant that it could not be dismissed as a simple error in communication.
‘Everyone in the Middle stratum is keeping me in check.’
It would rather be credible to accept it that way. If the Layen family made a bold decision, there is a possibility that other noble families would also show the same move.

The reaction the candidates of the Middle stratum would show to this was one of two things. Either really checking the uncertainty I have with loyalty, or aiming for that position and honor by beating me.
“Haha…… You have a quick eye.”
“You aren’t saying it’s not true.”
“Because it was not entirely wrong. The merit that you killed a Class 2 wanted criminal is certainly great, but it is difficult to hide the feeling that I want to verify it myself. Since censorship of information is necessary.”

The reason for showing this attitude was nothing else.
‘I took the credit by using Aiden as a shield.’
Еńum̊а́
It was because strange rumors started to circulate as Aiden, who accompanied the mission, was judged to be unable to recover.
In the end, it means things have become troublesome in many ways. They wouldn’t listen even if I bothered to lay out explanations for this. Rather than that, it would be better to clearly state my position.
“If it’s like that, I will tell you right here. I will not go under any family. Folks who have selfish desires for the results achieved by others don’t fit with me.”
I also know that it is a provocative statement. However, it is not an entirely wrong expression either. There is no noble anywhere who would accept a lower-class citizen without pursuing practical benefits.
“……I consider those words to be a bit insulting.”
“Because I said it to be so.”

Anyway, they would not obediently turn off their interest in me. Then it is better to act decisively.
“Inappropriate speech and behavior is not a good choice.”
“Don’t add unnecessary remarks. In the end, you want to have a bout with me, and I am creating the justification for that.”
“Those words…….”
I put my hand on Milo’s shoulder.
“It means I will deal with you as you wish. Before that, if you defeat this guy on my behalf, that is.”

And Milo, the protagonist of that, did not understand this situation.
“……What bullshit is this?”

Leo Ren accepted my proposal. It was natural that there was nothing to hesitate about. Since Milo already had a history of getting beaten up by them. There is not a shred of burden in the condition put forward.
“Hey, hey…… What on earth are you trying to do!”
“Lower your voice, because it’s noisy.”
Ĕ n̄ũ m̌a. і̊ d̃
I stopped walking, turned around, and spoke.
“No…….”
Instead, it would be a significant burden for Milo. He must have returned here after steeling his heart in his own way, but what he faced straight away would have been only powerlessness regarding himself.
“Didn’t you say you could win if you fought again?”

“T, That is if I become in optimal condition…….”
“I know, that’s why I set the schedule for tomorrow.”
Êň u m а̇
Milo, who was speechless, twitched his lips looking for words to say. Though he had no choice but to continue the silence in the end.
“Did you say it was Houston? He is not an opponent you cannot win against. Like you said, if you become in optimal condition, he would be worth dealing with.”
Houston was the name of the guy who mocked Milo. Since Leo Ren did not step forward personally on that side either, it became a not-bad situation for this side too.
I don’t know about Leo Ren, but Milo could at least contend with someone like Houston. Originally, Milo is a decent talent who would have achieved grades within the top 100 among all candidates.
‘Although circumstances have changed.’
The reason he couldn’t even put up a fight against a mere candidate of the Middle stratum, making my evaluation pointless, was due to the aftereffects of the injury.

“You, you have a problem here, right?”
TAP TAP-.
I tapped my temple and asked. The cause of Milo suffering aftereffects is due to the strong impact inflicted on the occipital region.
The area where the cerebral cortex, which processes visual information and spatial sense, is located.
“……How did you know?”
“Because I saw it.”
Wе̂ b́ ñо́ v̈el̂ Е n̆ũm а
Milo’s perceptual ability had deteriorated significantly. Securing a sense of distance was of course difficult, and even tracking the opponent’s movements would be burdensome. When he recognized the attack, it would have been already after he was hit.
Such functions can be recovered. If time is spent, the skills can be raised. Of course, it would be difficult right now though.

Milo, the person involved, must have also felt this keenly. Keeping his mouth shut tight and showing impatience must be for that reason.
“If you don’t want to get beaten by me too, straighten your face.”
“Fuck, do you think it works just by saying it…….”
“It does, because I will make it so.”
W̄ еb̌n о̊.vе ĺ Ӗ n̈ ūm̃а̌
I dislike committing acts without a plan. It is not much different now either. I have thought about Milo’s weakness and a way to complement it.
“You will…… help me?”
“Because if you get beaten unsightly, the one who becomes troubled will be me.”
In fact, it wasn’t that troublesome. Since they would become quiet if I just stomped on Leo Ren appropriately. Therefore, Milo seemed to find it difficult to accept.

“Why?”
Why didn’t you step forward from the beginning and passed it on to me? He was asking that. Since it would look like I rather made the situation more cumbersome.
Ёn̈umá
If I were to make an excuse, there is the point that the restoration rate of the cyberware is not perfect. It might be fine if it’s a moderate spar, but entering a fight with intent while having a weakness is arrogance.
And if I were to find a justification and not an excuse……
“Because I hate helping you every single time even more.”
Somehow, this guy is entangled with me. I cannot guarantee that an incident like this will be a one-time thing. Whenever that happens, Milo might have to suffer an ordeal.
That was why I put Milo forward. At least, there was a need to show an example. It means I must reveal my health to the extent that clumsy things cannot act territorial.
“Jin, you…….”

“I really can’t watch this.”
THWACK-!
Unable to watch the expression that looked like he was soaked in emotion, I kicked Milo’s thigh violently. It was a part I didn’t necessarily have to care about. Instead, he would have felt discomfort to the point of being occasionally annoying.
“Just follow my words without complaint.”
For some reason, it is difficult to shake off this feeling these days.

The interpretation and acceptance of information becomes late; that means the capacity the brain can handle has decreased. If so, the answer was not difficult. It is enough to have a means of auxiliary calculation to help thinking.
‘I become the third eye.’

We set up a few hand signals. It was a means to judge and convey the movements of the opponent, Houston. So that Milo could immerse himself solely in combat instincts.
Of course, it was not as easy as it sounds. Because I had to read the actions of Milo, the target of communication, including Houston, and present the next move.
The realm of foresight beyond prediction. I am not a transcendental being, but they were not the strong, just chicks lacking experience.
Actually, Milo stepped into the spar showing an untrusting reaction but…… proof is done by results.
Ẁ е́ b̀n оv̀еl E nů m̀ a
‘Rock.’
It was the hand signal when not a single finger of the right hand crossing my arms was extended. This meant that the opponent was in a defenseless state, so it was okay to attack.
If I just presented the appropriate timing, he was a guy who could handle the rest on his own.
THWACK-!

Actually, Milo’s fist landed nicely on Houston’s face. Although, regrettably, he ended up allowing a counterattack because the excited moron went overboard.
‘Scissors.’
Е́n ů mа. і d̀
Next was the hand signal when two fingers were extended. That it was time when evasion was needed; Houston made a not-bad judgment and dug into the opening. If it were Milo suffering from aftereffects, he would have been beaten unsightly and it would have ended here.
WHOOSH-!
However, the story was different now. The series of processes of seeing, understanding, and making a conclusion is not needed.
Anyway, the next action is what I present; Houston’s counterattack, which was quite sharp, misfired vainly. However, rushing in again here is a stupid act.
‘Paper.’
Lastly, it was the hand signal when all fingers were extended and then folded. No matter if he was just a chick, he was a respectable candidate of the Special Combat Academy.

Houston noticed something strange and chose to press the attack. Realizing that it was not the time to mock while saving his strength, he had to curl his body, defend, and wait for the opportunity.
‘……You listen well, Milo.’
It is sudden to say, but Milo’s skill was usable. Because I also didn’t expect it to show this much effect. Like that, after a few rounds of offense and defense continued, the result was proven.
“What is this…….”
On the combat platform, Houston knelt unable to hide his futility. Naturally, in front of him, Milo was standing proudly on his two feet.
“……This works.”

Milo glanced at me with an appearance where dignity of a winner was hard to find.
“S, Something is wrong! How can he change overnight! What the hell did you do…….”

“Please stop.”
It was Leo Ren who restrained Houston, who was trying to deny the result.
“Not acknowledging defeat is an act of insulting the opponent. It might be just a personal opinion, but I think Mr. Milo was sufficiently excellent.”
A subtle air flowed between the two. A hierarchy does not exist for them. Nevertheless, the reason Houston was strangely gauging his reaction was probably for a primal reason.

‘He is stronger.’
This place was, in the end, the Special Combat Academy, a place for competition. Leader of the Middle stratum forces; it meant that even if it was a trivial title, there was a basis for it.
“It was a method I completely did not expect.”
“So, do you have a complaint?”

“How could that be.”
Leo Ren knew about the sharing of hand signals. It was indeed a trick one could notice if they paid just a little attention.

“In the first place, what I wanted was just confirmation of skill. In that sense, there was no lack. Rather, it was a capability that exceeded expectations. You would be flawless as a son-in-law of the Layen family.”
However, those who could understand and accept this were not common. Of course, it was not a reaction to be treated positively. Because the Layen family’s objective toward me, led by Leo Ren, was not being diluted but becoming even thicker.
