Under Leo’s questioning, Michael’s eyes darted around. He only had the intention to fulfill the wish, but how to actually do it, he really didn’t know.
"The only thing possible is to accompany you. As for what to do next, I’m not clear. You’re very experienced with combat and training, right?"
This idea had just flashed in his mind. According to the system’s information, Leo in his previous life was a holy knight. Though not exactly sure how strong, he surely wasn’t ordinary.
Just looking at his training gave so idea. With that small body able to drag that stone clearly showed his strength wasn’t ordinary.
"Accompany ? You an just stay by my side talking and not doing anything else, and you also have no knowledge or experience to speak of?" Leo looked at Michael, confused.
Michael’s current body was clearly ford from a mass of smoke, his feet not even touching the ground. It didn’t look like he had the strength to interact with the outside world, let alone fight.
"Oh, I forgot to transform my body into a physical form. Wait for a bit." Michael scratched his head awkwardly, then started contacting the support system.
’System, tell , what will the physical body be like when appearing? Like my previous body?’
[This depends on your choice. You can have that body, beco a child, or beco an old man to die quickly.]
[Additionally, you can choose gender. This is for situations where soone wishes to marry you as a wife or have you be their girlfriend.]
[The body, once chosen, cannot be changed until moving to another world. Of course, the body will develop like a normal human’s unless the body you use is an ageless body.]
Michael’s face darkened. The other stuff was okay, but that flexible gender part was not okay at all.
Thinking of the potential future scenario where so bastard might make that weird wish made his spine go cold.
’Screw that, I’d rather be imprisoned for a thousand years than turn into a woman.’
Michael secretly vowed, determined to never touch that damn feature in this lifeti.
’System, any suggestions? I feel my previous body was really weak. Using it in this world isn’t good at all.’
[You’re not wrong, indeed your old body placed in this world combat-wise is worthless.]
[Therefore, the system suggests you transform into a child. Age-wise, just matching Leo is fine, too young and you can’t do anything.]
’Decided then. Make a three-year-old child.’
Imdiately his body flashed with light, the light slowly contracted to reveal the appearance of a fair-skinned, blue-eyed, golden-haired child. The genie’s clothing shrank along with the change in his body.
Leo stared wide-eyed in shock, this bizarre transformation scene made him even more curious about this world.
Since childhood until now, he had only been in this remote village, never had the chance to witness the world. Thinking of those powerful contractors out there made him inevitably yearn.
But he suddenly narrowed his eyes, assessed Michael, then kept shaking his head.
"Thin skin, soft flesh, weak bones."
"You in this form are way too useless."
Michael, who had been imrsed in the magical feeling of the transformation, had his defenses shattered by the harsh criticism.
"You damn kid, you think everyone is like you?"
Leo didn’t object, he had to train for months to gain the strength he had now. When he was a newborn, he was also weak but not that weak. Perhaps due to the particularities of this world, children’s bodies were quite robust.
Looking at Michael, he seed more like a normal child. But that didn’t an he had no potential for developnt.
"You said you’d accompany , then you must train together with . Otherwise, it ans you don’t want to fulfill my wish." Leo said.
In his view, the genie fulfilling a wish was a mandatory duty. Michael clearly didn’t want to but was forced to follow him.
"Huh?" Michael couldn’t believe it, staring at Leo.
That huge rock over there, is that sothing my weak, feeble body can budge? That’s way too demanding.
"You rate that highly? Aren’t you afraid I’ll die right here tomorrow?" His finger trembled as he pointed at himself.
"I didn’t tell you to train at my level. Everything has to go step by step."
"And your outfit is really strange. Can it change size?"
Leo curiously assessed the clothing. He grabbed it with his hand and tried to tear it, but its elasticity was too good, couldn’t tear it at all.
"I don’t know either, but probably a perk of being a genie." Michael gave a random reason.
He didn’t care much about this outfit, on the contrary, he wanted to find another one. Having to wear the sa set of clothes all the ti didn’t feel too comfortable either.
Leo slung his arm over Michael’s shoulder as if they had been close for a long ti.
"You know quite a few of my secrets, but I should still introduce myself. For now, my na is Leo, later I won’t have a na. And you?"
???
This weird introduction left Michael utterly confused. What do you an ’for now’ have a na? Isn’t a na you have now still the sa na later?
"Outside, don’t call a genie. My current identity is Michael, an ordinary human, nothing strange."
Michael also didn’t want his identity as a deity to be exposed. If caught and studied for divine secrets, it would be very troubleso.
"No problem, from now on we are comrades, true revolutionaries. We will definitely build a paradise for humanity."
Such grandiose words coming from a child’s mouth made Michael’s eyes widen.
"Why are you dragging into this? I’m helping you fulfill a wish, not a revolutionary. Don’t randomly assign titles to ."
Michael didn’t want to rebel, rebelling is troubleso. If possible, he just wanted to negotiate.
