Clentina's heard Noah's commands, as she imdiately obeyed him, walking at the side he desired, blocking the cara view completely from Noah, as if both the teacher and Clentina blocked Noah's entire body!
This way, Noah would be able to execute the plan he had made on the go!
"Yes, Noah?" asked Clentina rather expressionlessly, as the teacher glanced at her back, only to glare at Noah once more.
"So? You can talk, feel free," said the teacher with a mild smile.
And as the teacher spoke, Noah suddenly smiled eerily.
"Ah yes, I wanted to get sothing out of my Brain…" said Noah, as his eyes glowed bright red, the teacher could not even act surprised because a sudden spark of energy reached him from within Noah's eyes, paralyzing him!
This was Noah's Vampiric Eyes of Hypnosis and Stupefaction!
This Skill could paralyze and even grant the status effect of stupefaction for a few seconds to any target he looked directly in the eyes!
Although those stronger or equally stronger than him had a hard ti getting affected by this Skill, weaklings such as E-Rank Hunters like his teacher were an easy target, no matter how much he could resist!
"Ngh… (I cannot… speak?! What is… this?! Is this… Noah's Ability?! An Evil Eye that can paralyze?! Unngh…! Its effect is imnsely strong! What kind of Rank is the Skill? No… even if it were of a higher Rank, a low Ranked Hunter should not be able to have enough Mana to wield higher-ranked Skills that could overwhelm like this! …Unless he is already a higher rank than ?! Then… is he Rank D?! Or… Impossible! Rank C?!)" thought the teacher, as things were not simply stopping on this…
And then… a strange, figure made of blood erged from within a wound that opened itself over the skin of Noah's neck, stretching a macabre crimson hand towards his face!
The teacher's eyes were almost popping out of his eye sockets, whatever that creature was, it was not a normal Skill nor power!
Noah was clearly… not a Human anymore!
Just what was Noah to begin with?!
What kind of Human could generate such a monstrous figure from within an open wound on their neck… which wasn't even there before?
How could he even open a wound on his own neck without even using anything?
Could he manipulate his own skin to open a wound?
But then how did he had a strange creature inside his very neck?
Or blood?
The teacher could not even understand what was happening, on all of his years of research (as he was a researcher and not really a hunter), he had never seen such a thing before!
"(This… Noah… what kind of… person are you?! How many secrets… have you kept for yourself?! Ungh…! Agh! AGGHHH!)"
The teacher began to scream internally, as the bloody hand of the creature coming from Noah's open neck touched his forehead for just a single second before disappearing.
That single second was enough for the teacher to complete feel as if his mind were being eaten from the inside out by sothing vicious!
And due to Noah's eyes, he could not even move nor scream to show his agony!
He was simply… hopelessly succumbing to whatever wicked plans Noah had for him!
Clentina's eyes opened a bit in surprise, but she kept quiet and stood still as everything went on.
The teacher felt his entire mind being eaten away, as he slowly lost his own sense of self, and beca… sothing similar to a mindless zombie.
Noah then extended his own blood, manipulating it as a river, and making it enter inside the teacher's nostrils.
"Blood Pact…" thought Noah, ntally saying the na of one of his Skills.
Another second after, Noah finally spoke.
"W-Well, it would be nice if you could let go with Clentina, and not bother us anymore over sothing like this… I guess I am being too demanding… Sorry… I think she might need soone to accompany her in this ti of mourning for her fallen party mbers, and I believe that you might be overwhelming her a bit… Is it okay?" asked Noah.
The completely mindless teacher obeyed Noah, and the Blood Pact, yet another reassurance of Noah, was imdiately completed.
The pact was simple, "don't bother us anymore, and do everything you can for other people to not bother us either".
After that, Noah also used the opportunity to insert one of his Blood Servants inside the blood of the teacher and also to curse him.
Feeling that it was finally safe, the teacher was suddenly "snapped back to reality", although he was still now serving Noah.
"Ah… Of course, Noah… Sorry about that, it seems that I misunderstood her. I can see that you are a good student… I apologize. You can go back with your friend," said the teacher.
"Thank you so much, teacher. I am glad to have such a nice person as a teacher," said Noah with a gentle smile, as he walked out with Clentina at his side, back to his room.
The teacher then sat down and began to read a book, pretending to be normal… but he had already beco one of Noah's pawns, and even if the brainwash were to wear down one day, he would still be tied with a Blood Pact, a Blood Curse, and also a Blood Servant inside of his very blood, watching over him to not do anything funny, and imdiately telling Noah of all its activities through its connection with its master's blood.
Noah had already discovered the ability to insert Blood Servants inside the bloodstream of people, but it was a delicate thing and those that were not almost completely restrained or willing would not easily let him get a Blood Servant inside their blood, and could easily prevent it counter attacking with any type of offensive Skill.
But Noah had already paralyzed and brainwashed the man, so it was as easy as breathing for him to do such a thing.
Noah had even discovered that he could leave Blood Servants on his subordinates so they would have a companion that could protect them… but that was not necessary at all, as they were naturally stronger by themselves.
"T-That was… amazing…" said Clentina, surprised by Noah's amazing prowess.
"It was a bit risky, but it seems to have gone well. If not, we would have been already fighting soldiers to escape…" said Noah.
"I-Is that so?" asked Clentina with a bit of surprise.
"Anyways, let's speak more in privacy inside my room," said Noah nonchalantly as he led Clentina into his room.
"(N-Noah-sama's room?! T-That's…)" she thought, feeling a bit embarrassed about entering another man's room, which she found rather unsightly, as if it were sothing lewd, even.
"Here." Said Noah, opening the room as Clentina found out that there were all of Noah's subordinates here, she was not going to be with him alone or sothing, which made her relieved, as she did not know how she would have been capable of handling such a situation.
"Oh, Clentina-chan, welco back!" said Iris.
"Welco back… So, how did it went?" asked Arthur.
"Did you managed to brainwash the teacher, Noah-sama?" asked Timassa.
"Yes. It went rather easy. We have now a very useful pawn in the form of our very teacher! Ah, I will get a lot of important, confidential info from him!" laughed Noah, as he quickly created a soundproof blood barrier through Blood Control and Crimson Aegis.
After Noah explained how everything went, the party quickly changed their topic to sothing more important…
Clentina needed to catch up!
Clentina was only E-Rank, while everyone else was C-Rank.
They couldn't enter E-Rank Dungeons and help her get Cores to reach D-Rank.
And although they had many spare D-Rank Cores, if she were to consu them, the energy would most likely kill her.
The only apparent choice was to let her enter an E-Rank Dungeon alone!
Cores were all stockpiled by the governnt, and no one sold them alone, especially because people were selfish and simply used them for themselves, and whenever they reached a higher-ranked dungeon, they went to the next dungeon.
Any clandestine market of Cores was often crushed in seconds of starting by the governnt, and there were very few chances for Noah to find such a market at the mont.
But Noah had already gotten sothing into motion before anyone could figure a solution.
He was going to make his own market.
But how?
"Don't worry about Cores. Now that the Robots had grown strong enough and I have Blood Servants, I have already sent them towards E-Rank Dungeons, they will co back with Cores for us later, Clentina should be able to catch up with us tomorrow. Of course, you are going with them right now, so pack your things, you will be working until morning," said Noah.
Noah was simply going to amass his own Cores now with his combined forces of Robots and Blood Servants, making them infiltrate low-rank dungeons was not a problem at all! …And Clentina was joining!
"R-Really? Is it fine to do so much for …?" asked Clentina while blushing a bit.
"Of course, we are going to make your work to death, and to speak all the info you have about your family, and we'll most likely go there soon enough, generate connections with them, and get a higher amount of money," said Noah.
"W-What? But… my family has exiled …" said Clentina.
"And why should I care about that? You are going to go et them again, you want it or not…" said Noah, as his eyes glowed with dominance.
"Eep! Okay…" said Clentina.
