New law of Beast Taming

Amane looked at the dwarf who had been leaning on top of her just a few seconds ago. She could not feel any malice or sexual tension leaking out of the man which meant that he was as normal as Amane could expect him to be.

Whatever he had been planning to do to Amane had not been sexual. And somehow that made things even more awkward for her.

"Calm down. I was not doing anything dangerous to you. I just wanted to check your energy waves since they seemed to be unique. We, dwarfs, are very sensitive to the energy waves and I was even researching in the field."

"I was about to be done with my experiment as well when you woke up and messed up my whole experiment."

Professor Cardin dared to look like the victim in this situation. If not for her curiosity, Amane would have ended up killing him.

"My energy waves are all messed up? Interesting. Can you tell me more about this?"

Amane had a feeling that her ’energy waves’ corresponded to her ’aura’ and it had felt messed up ever since she had absorbed Rabelais’s power and used it to escape her shackles.

"Hmm, it is difficult to explain in human terms since energy waves are not a concept that is easy to grasp. I do not know how to explain it to a human child like you without causing you to feel lost."

Professor Cardin explained with a sorry look on his face. He was underestimating Amane too much when he looked at her.

But Amane did not get angry or show her disappointment. She remained calm and looked back at the Professor in front of her with a blank look on her face.

"I see. So, in simpler terms, you do not have the rough knowledge and vocabulary to explain things to me. It was my mistake to regard you a little too high since your name sounded familiar."

Amane’s words hurt Professor Cardin’s ego and he puffed up his cheeks in response. He looked annoyed but held his anger back.

Instead, he turned into ridicule when he looked at Amane.

"As if I need any help explaining the situation to a human like you. If you do want to know, then I will tell you the basics. Every creature is made up of two types of energy - waves and matter."

"Matter is what you call abilities and it can be gauged by the physical eye. But waves are invisible powers not everyone has access to. And there is hardly anything that can interact with one’s waves as well."

"But for some reason, both of your energies are messed up and clashing with each other. You must be feeling uncomfortable from time to time. Common symptoms include loss of your body function and control."

Professor Cardin explained and that all sounded accurate to Amane’s current situation.

"So, is there a curse to my condition? Or am I stuck like this forever?"

As far as Amane knew, there was no artificial cure for aura disbalance. The only way to feel better was to let her aura settle down naturally.

However, Amane did not have the time to do so with her current schedule.

"There is no cure for such a condition yet. But if you give me some more time, then I might be able to come up with something. But for that, I will need to get some more samples of your energy."

Professor Cardin explained as he picked up his gear once more. Amane could not tell if he was a fool or just that brave to challenge her.

But whatever the reason was, he seemed confident that his methods would work.

’Hmm, maybe I should allow this dwarf to examine me. It won’t hurt to try his methods as well and I am already damaged so it won’t matter much.’

Amane held her hand out toward the dwarf and he looked confused.

"You can continue to observe me and if you find a cure for my condition, I will reward you handsomely. But in return, you must not talk about my condition to anyone. Do you agree to these terms?"

Amane laced her voice with magic, making it a bonding promise. She wanted to see if the dwarf would catch the intention behind her voice or not.

From the knowing look on the dwarf’s face, it was clear that he knew what Amane did to her voice. But he was also willing to overlook this time for his curiosity. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I agree to your deal. Now let me see what kind of condition you are in. Also, what did you say your name was?"

The dwarf asked and Amane looked back at him with an amused look on her face. Find your next read at freewebnovel

"My name is Yoko Tsurugi. I am sure that you have heard about me before."

Amane introduced herself but Professor Cardin did not look impressed. But there was a thoughtful look on his face when he looked at Amane.

"Your name sounds familiar. I am sure I have heard it before but not because you are famous. Ah, yes, now I remember. There was the talk of Ross and his experiment, subject Alpha."

"I heard that the experiment died for nothing and caused a lot of panic as a result. What was the experiment’s name again? Aqua…"

Before Professor Ross could finish speaking, his throat was grabbed and he was held up against the wall of the room. He had just been speaking a few seconds ago and now breathing seemed difficult to him.

He looked down at the female in front of him and his heart skipped a beat in return. The golden eyes looking back at him were glowing. It was almost as if they wanted to kill him for daring to stand in their way.

Not only that, Yoko Tsurugi’s body language was filled with danger as she held her opponent up by his neck.

"Do not talk about her like that. I am not a tolerant person so I won’t forgive you if you disrespect her like that."

Amane spoke in a monotonous voice. Her voice sounded hollow and mechanical, but the hint of danger present in it could not be denied.

Professor Cardin had seen all kinds of sticky situations.

As a scientist who was used to doing dangerous experiments to satisfy his curiosity, his life had often been in danger and he had always had to remain calm and alert.

He knew how far he could push himself and he never really tried to go beyond his limits. So, he had never felt this urgency to survive and beg for forgiveness.

But the way Yoko Tsurugi held him up and the way she looked at him caused Professor Cardin’s back to break out into a cold sweat. He suddenly felt afraid for his life.

’I am going to die for sure. Yoko Tsurugi, she is going to kill me if I said anything she would not like.’

Cardin was sure that Yoko Tsurugi could kill him. Her aura screamed death and destruction to him and it made the surrounding air harder to breathe.

"I…let me go. I did not mean to insult your friend or anything. Hurry, it is difficult to breathe."

Professor Cardin felt his air circulation stop. At this rate, he was going to choke and die. And he could not allow that to happen to him. He still had a lot he had to live for.

He had a lot of experiments to conduct and a lot of research to still be verified.

But it was all out of his hands now. He was at the mercy of this female in front of him. Professor Cardin could not tell if he got lucky or not when the door room was knocked by the person outside.

The maid looked utterly terrified to see Cardin being held up by his neck. And when Yoko Tsurugi turned to face her, the maid almost shit herself in horror before realizing what she was doing and looked back down.

"I..miss…this is…someone is here to meet you. L-Lady Suzuki of the divine guild and her companions are here."

The maid quickly explained, not wanting to spend any more time in this room than necessary. She could not get the image of Yoko Tsurugi strangling someone out of her head.

"Charlie is here? Looks like you got lucky this time, you stupid professor. But next time, I don’t think you will get this lucky. So, you better keep yourself in line."

Amane let the professor fall back on his feet and the lack of oxygen caused Cardin to sink to his knees. He gasped and tried to as much oxygen into his lungs as possible.

But this small incident caused him to become even more obsessed with Yoko than before.

Earlier, she had seemed like a powerful but ordinary specimen he could ignore. But now, she seemed like a treasure trove he wanted to get his hands on.

As soon as Yoko was out of the room, Professor Cardin laughed with a giddy smile on his face and his collapsed body shook with laughter.

The maid who saw this was already terrified. Now her terror turned into horror and she took a few steps back.

"I…shall get going now. I hope you have a good day ahead. D-Do not call me if you need anything. Umm, bye?"

The maid made a quick escape, wanting to be back home. She just needed to survive half an hour more before she would be replaced by someone else.
