The forest was as wide as before and it was similarly shaded, only letting so trickles of sunlight in, looking at his right hand intently, Ace counted,

He breathed out so turbid air, so indeed, it is as if Lustful absorption considers the main body and clone as two different people.
But then why does I still have it?
If I have it when I cloned myself, why don't I have all the other Gifts?
His mind was filled with doubts, this whole Ability Lustful Absorption was a big cheat.
Using the rope, he made the horse move again. With a snort, It started hooving ahead.
Whatever the case was, in regards to Lustful Absorption, he could only call himself inexperienced for now. He had too much to see and too much left to explore for him to think of himself as an expert.
He was just a Stage 1 after all.
Humbling his ego, he watched as the Horse moved ahead, he could already see so human traces here and there, like shallow paths made by clearing grass or so simple traps to keep animals from nearing.
No matter what world, Humans had their similarities.
Making the tattoo on his hands vanish, he focused and led the horse ahead, 10 more minutes or so and he should be in the settlent.
He was quite excited, how does the Gifted's settlent look like?
He wanted to see it—
Pfew!!
An arrow struck the tree right infront of him. Frightened, the Horse neighed and slid to the side, crashing onto the ground. Harry was thrown off its back and rolled heavily on the mud before slamming into a dirty puddle and staying still.
The sound of rustling echoed out as two people jumped out of a tree, "Foreigner, don't act like you are dead, we know your body is strong… you better stand up before my sister shoots another arrow," said a young voice.
Ace clenched his teeth and stood up, his face, body, and clothes were completely wet and dirty, and he could feel the muddied water slide down his bald head.
No matter who the fuckers were…they were dead.
His dark eyes glinted as he turned around and glanced at them, A little boy and a little girl, both had sky blue hair and similarly sky blue eyes, their skin was tanned and they were wearing clothes made of leaves.
His eyes darkened a bit but he held himself back, 'No Ace, it's just so children,' he thought.
He stood up and looked at them, his eyes fierce and his muscles cracking, "What was that for, you little freaks?"
The little fucks were so distance away, his kicks won't reach them.
The boy's eyes shined, "Shut up," he said.
Ace imdiately shut up. No, it wasn't voluntary, he couldn't speak at all.
He was made to shut down.
His mouth couldn't move.
'What?!' This kid… he had a Gift?!
He looked barely 10!
The Sister, the one who looked about the sa but had a gentler air, took out a bamboo scroll from her leaf clothes and said, "We don't know from what settlent you ca from, foreigner. I could have killed you with my first Arrow but I didn't. So you better only answer to what I ask and don't speak anything unnecessary."
Ace looked at them, his heart beating with trepidation.
"Stay where you are, listen to what she says, and obey all her commands," the boy ordered.
Ace could only look on and hope what he was thinking was not true.
The girl smiled, and asked, "Foreigner, what settlent do you co from?"
Ace didn't speak.
He could feel cold drops of sweat building up in his wet and dirty body.
What the fuck was this boy?!
"Break a bone in your fingers every ti you don't answer."
Ace gritted his teeth and spoke, his voice frustrated, "I co from the Romanian settlent on Earth, it's a very unknown settlent, almost nobody had heard of it. It's a long distance away and has nothing to do with your settlent."
The boy smirked, his eyes shining, "Break a bone if what you said is a lie."
He waited, but nothing happened.
His smirk died.
The girl raised her sky-blue eyebrows and asked, "Why are you headed towards our Settlent?"
Gritting his teeth inside, Ace spoke, "I want to head to the academy and attempt to join it. I have to go through your place to reach it easily."
The Boy and Girl exchanged glances, The boy said, "Break your bone if that was a lie."
Ace didn't do anything.
The girl then asked, looking at the bamboo scroll to see if she had asked every question there. "So tell , did you have any ill intent towards our ho or its people?"
Ace's mind spun and he hesitated.
There was only one choice, Lie and be caught lying. Say the truth and be seen as an honest thief. As far as he could tell, at the mont, he was solely alive due to their grace, they were far stronger, No, they were weirdly stronger than him sohow.
It was the boy, his gift was too unique.
Ace couldn't figure out its limits, can he ask to Kill myself, and if he did, will I have to die?
He spat out so puddle water and spoke, his face sincere below the dirt and mud, "I don't wish to harm any innocent from your ho, But I sure hope to have so won to bed, as long as that's not offensive to you people."
This world had a very different culture, so maybe, this was allowed. Maybe it wasn't considered Ill-intent?
He couldn't hide anything, so might as well go all out.
The girl's eyes squinted in disgust and the boy snorted.
But they didn't do anything more, that much was okay. Their place had many won ready to do exactly that for a price and this man shouldn't dare to force anyone.
And it's not like the man would be allowed to stay there for much, he will have to leave very soon after he entered.
"Break your finger if that was a lie."
Ace didn't even move.
"Now, the final question," the girl said, looking at the bamboo scroll, her interest waning, "What is your Gift, tell your most lethal aspect, and what stage are you in?"
They had to know the danger level of a guest after all.
But Harry didn't like that question at all.
