RHWB 107

Capitulo 107

By using the Hands, they gathered the N-cores without a hassle and put them into the space ring on her finger. In just one night, they gathered a hundred of N-cores from different Classes. The best harvest they got was the Class-SS.

It was sort of amazing for a pair of Class-B Handler and Class-A Arma to kill a monster twice higher than their cultivation.

Probably it was because of Keenan's two sets of abilities, his Hekatonkheires and Katana became much stronger after he consumed the Kakaiba.

On top of that, despite killing more than a hundred monsters, both of them were not tired. Keenan could maintain his form for hours and Fantasia knew how to maintain her energy.

"After this, we have to return to Ricaame. Graduation is right around the corner."

[Yeah, I thought I was going to repeat another year because I can't find a Handler.]

"I guess you have to thank me for that."

[I deeply appreciate becoming an Arma of the most gorgeous beautiful angel who stepped on earth to-]

"Say another word and I'll drop you here."

Fantasia stopped his sarcastic gratitude.

"By the way, I feel like you have something you want to talk to me about."

[Me? No, I just want to say that you're so beautiful that men will not hesitate to bow down before your very presence.]

"Okay, that's it."

Fantasia deactivated the Union and threw Keenan to the ground. This man always makes fun of her.

"Ack! Hey, don't throw me while I'm in the process of transformation. I almost sprained my foot!"

Keenan hissed as he glared at her. Just like the usual, Fantasia had her cold temperament and she didn't change her expression at all.

"Let's go. We don't want to be late."

She said and started walking ahead.

Keenan followed her. He didn't want Fantasia to find that he was hiding a secret so he decided to piss her off instead to change her attention.

'Fantasia is sharp, maybe she's starting to get conscious. I can't blame her. After all, I'm the source of her power.'

He smirked and ran up to her. On their way back to the Metropolis, Keenan made fun of Fantasia twice but the woman didn't listen to the words he said. Instead, she threatened him that she will cut off his salary. The young man shut his mouth after that. He was planning to visit the location where he buried his friends so he was saving money. He told the coordinates to the Academy but it seemed like it would take some time to retrieve them, especially now that graduation was coming.

So Keenan decided to retrieve them himself. Some monsters may found them so Keenan wanted to retrieve them before that happened.

'I'm not sure if Nightmares like eating bones, let's hope that they are not.'

"I heard from Suzy that you're saving your money. What's the reason, you don't have any debt so why are you saving them?"

Fantasia glanced at him.

Keenan averted his eyes, he scratched his head. It seemed like Fantasia found it.

"Ah… about that. I want to buy a flying car."

"Hm? For what?" She tilted her head.

"It's a secret."

"I see, is this one of your usuals. Do we have to trade again?"

"It depends."

"Okay, I will tell you one of my secrets and you have to tell me why you want to buy a flying car."

"… Okay."

"Let's see…" Fantasia touched her chin, she was thinking about what to say.

"I like cats."

"I'm sorry what?"

"I like cats..."

Fantasia said straight to his face.

"You want to trade one of my secrets to that?"

Keenan scowled. He was not stupid.

"You don't know how hard it was for me to say that I like cats."

"So what about it? I'm sure your Aunt knew about tha-"

"No, she's not. I never tell anyone about it."

"..."

Keenan stared at her and he could see that she was not lying at all. He sighed, he thought that he was going to hear something big.

"And? Why you can't tell anyone about it?"

"Because cats hate me."

"Huh?"

"Whenever I try to touch them, they will hiss and run."

"Ah, probably because of your expression."

Keenan nodded. Fantasia was beautiful but she was the cold-type kind of beautiful. As if she was always above the others, so perhaps the cat was afraid of her.

"... You think so?"

Fantasia's eyes slightly beamed.

"Yeah. Okay, so here's the thing. I want to retrieve my comrades and bring them back to their families."

Keenan bought her secret so it was fair to tell his.

"So you want a flying car because of that? Why don't you just ask Aunt, she has dozens of ships in her garage."

"..."

Keenan didn't speak anymore. The reason why he didn't choose that method was because of Jeanne. That woman may have another favor to use if he asked for help.

………
……
…

"Hm? Let me get this straight. You're saying that you can activate her Aura."

Jeanne dropped her alcohol, her expression turned serious. In front of her, Keenan sipped his drink and nodded.

"I just found it last night. When I accidentally touched her using my Hand. My Hand passed through her body and it detected dormant energy. It's her Aura, it seemed like she can't open it by herself."

Keenan wanted to consult Jeanne about this aspect. Jeanne who was tipsy massaged her forehead.

"This is going to be bad..."

"Yeah, it is."

"So I bet you want to keep this a secret."

Jeanne stated and Keenan didn't hide it. He nodded, it was the right decision.

"Fantasia is motivated to reach Class-S because she wants to acquire her Aura. If I told her that I can activate her Aura, there's a chance that she will use her motivation."

"You got a point. But what if that's not the case. "

"I'm still planning to keep it a secret."

"Okay, do what you want. We don't want to disrupt her motivation."

Jeanne agreed to his proposal.

"By the way, do you know that Fantasia likes cats."

"Huh? No, that's the first time I heard that."

"... I see."

Keenan chuckled.

'Despite being cold, she's still innocent. Well, at least I know one of her secrets. It's a small step, but still an improvement.'
