Mentalist

[awakened class : mentalist]

[mentalist : Mentalists are masters of the inner workings of the mind, wielding their formidable abilities to both comprehend and manipulate the thoughts and emotions of others. Through rigorous training and innate talent, they have honed their minds into finely-tuned instruments of influence.

But a Mentalist's true strength lies in their ability to control and guide the minds of others. They can compel actions, implant suggestions. Mentalists are enigmatic figures, wielding the power of the mind with finesse and precision.]

[learnt skill : mind read]

[learnt skill : mind control]

[mind read : The skill of Mind Read grants the host the extraordinary ability to delve into the thoughts and innermost secrets of others. This psychic talent allows the host to form a telepathic connection with the target, accessing the depths of their consciousness and gaining insight into their emotions, memories, and intentions.

For the skill to work the target must be under mind control, the higher the mind control percentage the more the thoughts that can be accessed.]

[mind control : The skill of Mind Control with DNA Injection is an extraordinary and ethically complex ability that enables the practitioner to exert absolute control over the thoughts, actions, and even loyalties of others. This formidable power requires a unique approach, as it necessitates the injection of the practitioner's own DNA into the target's body to establish a profound psychic connection.

The target irrespective of their level difference can be affected if the pre-requisite DNA is injected, Slowly manipulate the target's brain to increase control over their mind , at 100% mind control the target wont be able to deny any command from the host , the 100% mind control state is also known as mind domination. ]

Wait so I am becoming a mind control build but why do I not have the most basic of mind control skill hypnosis ?

Not that I mind these mind control and read skills . But what a unique demand for the skill , to inject DNA into the target .

If that is like this shouldn't I try and control these family members so they allow me to stay in the house for longer and given how I am level 1 I also need to train and learn some skills .

Since gin is a hunter he must have skills related to hunting that he can teach me slowly. For what I can think this is the fastest way to approach the current situation I am in.

After 10 more minutes of status screen readings and making some plans I leave the room and go to the dining table where everyone except emily are already sitting.

They seem to be busy chatting and enjoying just as an normal family does at the dining table . They didn't even see me come towards them or if they did they hid it pretty well.

Emily was still in the kitchen working on the vegetable soup , after reaching the table I bowed a little to everyone and Gin simply nodded to my bow and went back to chatting with his daughters.

Slowly I went towards the kitchen to which again no one reacted .

"Umm.. Miss can I get some water ?"I asked her in a voice showing my politeness and innocence .

"There is no need for you to be so formal ruth, and yes sure wait a second I will get you a glass of water. " Saying that she quickly went towards the rack to pick a glass and fill it with water.

Quickly I checked if anyone is looking at me and no one was looking in the general direction of the kitchen , I bit my thumb and dropped a few drops of blood in the soup.

"Here" said emily and gave me a glass of water. I accepted and drank the before giving it back to her.

After that I simply went back to the table and sat beside gin across the two daughters , in a few moments emily came with the soup and served it to everyone .

No one suspected a thing and simply ate the soup . I did the same but internally I was tensed waiting for the system notification for mind control to work but it never came.

Fuck , was the amount not enough or did the cells die in the hot soup ? I will have to do it again and quickly because I can almost tell they don't want me here even another day. 

the way they just ignore me as i don't exist to the way they react to my actions , they want me gone and i can't . i don't know anything about the world forget the world i don't even know anything about the house or the village .

Fuck.

Cursing in my mind and showing a slight smile and bow I left the table and went back to my group.

I have to manipulate them to allow me to stay today anyhow.

After an hour or so , everyone left the house , leaving only me and emily . I slowly walk out of the gate to see that emily is doing dishes in the kitchen.

I walk towards her and get a glass of water and the same way as morning I bite my thumb with my teeth and added a few drops of blood in the glass , just as much as what I added in the soup.

"Mam , you must be tired from doing the dishes and I also wanted to help you a bit , here, a glass of water for you" I said with an innocent smile.

"Even though there is no need for you to do that , thank you" she picked the glass and drank all the water.

"Hm, is it just me or the water tasted a bit weird ?" she wondered in low voice but didn't ask me , the sound was so low even ruth didn't hear it.

[1 new target under mind control ]

[mind read]

[considers you an innocent boy and pities you ]

considering it to be the best opportunity , i bowed my head and asked, 

"mam can you please let me stay in the house for a few more day until i recover and get my memories back , i swear i wont be a burden and will also try to help with anything i can" i said looking at the blonde lady as she seemed to be lost in her thoughts

'Hmm , why is gin trying to get this innocent boy out of the house, isn't he fit and with a bit more practice he should be able to help the house , I should try to convince gin when he comes back home from hunt that ruth is useful and help the house .'

[emily - mind control : 7%]

Wow , just one suggestion and she is already at 7% control , just how innocent is she.

she nodded her head but didn't say anything but since the mind control percentage went up i can assume she considered my suggestion even if a bit.

With that out of the way I went back to my bed . Since the mind control worked with the glass of water ,  its possible that my cells died in the soup before they even got inside the body.

After some hours of rest , night fell and everyone came back home . Today the blonde haired daughter , emma called me for the dinner and I quickly followed her to the table.

Doing just what I did for emily , I went to kitchen and got a glass of water and added some blood in it and offered it to gin.

He easily accepted the glass and drank it all in one breath.

[1 new target under mind control ]

Made some suggestions to gin which he seemed to have considered in his subconscious mind to allow me to stay in the house for many more days.

Even if I have some mind control , I cannot just make suggestions to keep me in house forever because that would just not work . So I would have to first increase my control and then influence the thoughts.

[gin - mind control : 3%]

Wow , must be because he is a hunter and has higher awareness he is only at 3% control contrary to emily's 7%.

Just like I imagined , after food gin and emily discussed about allowing me to stay in the house for more days but lily and emma were against the decision of letting a stranger in the house and that too a boy . Thanks to mind control influencing both gin and emily's thoughts their points were discarded and I was allowed to stay for more days.

The number of days weren't discussed but there is no problem with that since I can just slowly influence them more and more.

[emily - mind control : 11%

Gin - mind control - 5%]

Just the discussion also increased the control over their minds . To prove them my usefulness I had to wash the dishes and after that went to sleep.

Next day I woke up and had breakfast with everyone else , but since today is saturday emma and lily were happy and excited about tomorrow's holiday for academy.

Today I asked gin if he could allow me to come with him to the hunt and he just denied and should just help emily with the chores.

Which further proved that I cannot make extreme suggestions to those with low mind control.

Helping emily with dishes and a few other chores , came the next day , sunday.

Today I have to make lily and emma under mind control since they will be at home the whole day.

Doing the same glass trick both lily and emma are now under mind control. Even though they are under mind control they don't seem to be under good impression of me.

[mind read]

[lily - doesn't know how you managed to convince her parents to stay in the house and is very suspicious of you]

[emma - no opinion but will not support any argument in your favor ]

Even after convincing them and influencing their thoughts a bit about allowing me to stay in the house , they don't seem to be that under control and just barely considered it even an option

[emma - mind control : 2%

lily - mind control - 1%]

With the way things are working it might even take some months to reach mind domination.
