Manipulating An Adult

[One Week Later]

In Capital City

The boy walked into the pharmacy shop. He saw the man standing behind the counter. The man smiled to him

Paul : Welcome kid. What do you want? I'm afraid we don't sell candies.

George? : I'm your son's friend's little brother. I need to talk to him. Is he here?

Paul : Philip's friend's brother? Well, Philip is in next room. Just get in there.

The men opened the door for him

George? : Thank you, uncle.

The boy walked into the room and the man closed the door

Paul : (He's really polite. I've never heard that Philip friends have little brother though)

______________________________________

The room was filled with glass tubes,herbals and other medical things. Then, the boy saw a student sitting and writing notes furiously. He slowly walked toward him and standing behind him. The student didn't noticed him but then, the boy decide to tease him a little

George? : Ahem.

Philip : AAAHHH!!

The student shocked and fall from the chair to the ground

Philip : W-what are you do....a kid?

George? : Hi

Philip : Why are you here? Did the oldman let you in? Damn, that oldman. He let them anyone went in. What, did you lose your mom?

George? : No. I'm here to talk with you.

Philip : Huh. Me? Did you know me? I think I don't know you.

George? : Yes, you don't know me. But I know you, Philip senpai.

The student confused. The boy took out a small bottle from his pocket and put on the table

Philip : Hmm.

George? : Will you believe me if I say this fluid can cure Queen's illness?

Philip : Huh?

George? : I'm saying this medicine can cure Queen.

The student confused. He can't understand why this unknown kid show him a bottle and said it can cure Queen. He opened the bottle and look to fluid inside. Then, he try smell it

Philip : (Hmm. This certainly smell like herbals. At least, this isn't poison. But why did he believe that this can cure Queen?) Kid, where did you get this?

George? : I created it.

Philip : Created? How? What herbals did you use?

George? : That's a se-cr-et.

Philip : This certainly smell like medicine. But what give you an idea that this can cure Queen?

George? : Because I knew it.

Philip : You knew? Best doctors of this kingdom couldn't save Queen but you, a kid could?

George? : Yes, because this is the cure.

Philip : Then, why did you come here? If you trust that much in you, why did you come here anyway? And why me?

The student look to the boy with serious look. But the boy was unfazed and answer clamly

George? : Because I'm a kid.

Philip : Huh?

George? : I'm just a kid. No one will believe me. They might not even let me into palace.

Philip : Well, you're not wrong. But then, you could find other people. You could even choose my father. Why me?

George? : Because you're son of doctor. You also create medicines. And.....I know everything about you. You're the best person I can choose.

The student felt chill run down on his spine. He realized that this kid wasn't normal

Philip : What's your plan?

George? : A plan?

Philip : Tell me your plan. I know that you have one.

George? : My plan was...you went to the palace and serve the King this medicine and said this will cure Queen. If it was success, King will give you a reward. I want half of it.

Philip : Half? What if it fail?

George? : You can tell them my name and let them claim my head.

The student shocked by the words

Philip : I...I need time. I need to talk with oldman.

George? : Sure you did. I'll come back tomorrow. I'll leave the bottle here. In case, you father want the proof.

Philip : Huh?

George? : See you tomorrow, Philip senpai.

Then, the boy walked out from the room and leave the shop. The student left in the room with many questions in his head

Philip : (What the hell is wrong with that kid? How can he be so sure that this medicine could cure? Who give him the formula or idea? How can he clamly said about his death? Also, why did he leave the bottle like this? What if I just take the rewards by myself?....... Wait......what if........ I just take the rewards by myself? There's only two of us in this room. No one know that who make it. I could just take the ownership. Even if he try to sue me, no one will believe him because he's just a kid and I'm kingdom's best doctor who saved the Queen. That's not my fault. He's the one who leave the bottle. He let this happen. I'm not wrong)

[The Next Day]

In Capital

The boy was walking together with his uncle and they heard something

Man A : Hey, have you heard that? Queen was cured just this morning.

Man B : What? I thought no doctor can cure that illness.

Man A : It appeare one student create the medicine and it really cure Queen.

Man B : A student?

Man A : Yeah. He's son of a doctor. Although father wasn't famous. Son did a great job.

The boy was pissed. He couldn't believe what he heard.

Kuragari : What? You angry?

George : (Of course. We make that medicine by ourselves and he take the name by himself)

Kuragari : Don't forgot our goal, boy. Saving Queen was all we want. We don't need rewards.

George : (But....)

Kuragari : No but. It was better that no one know that we're creators. We have many things to do in secret. Getting attention from people is the last thing I want. Also, I did said you before that he would do that.

George : (How did you know that?)

Kuragari : I know the future, remember? Actually, he's not entirely a bad person. He's just little misfit. He might be selfish at sometimes but he's not that bad. He like Cecilia and even saved her once. But he never tried to take advantages because of that.

George : (I just realized that you're manipulative. You like doing that, don't you?)

Kuragari : Yeah. The feeling of planning everything and everything went according to the plan was really satisfying.

George : (You're the worst)

Kuragari : You're just too young.

George : (Also, how could you control my body and able to speak him? You didn't even warn me before. I'm really shock at that time)

Kuragari : How was the sofa?

George : (It's nice. I fall to sleep just after I closed my eyes)

Kuragari : So..... want to sleep on it again?

George : (By letting you control my body as you want? No)

Kuragari : I see..... you have brain after all.

[Two Days Later]

George : Now, I'm free. What we gonna do today?

Kuragari : I always tell you to not talk me with your voice. If someone heard you, they might think that you're talking to yourself or spirits.

George : I know that, oldman. I only use my voice because there's no one near me.

Kuragari : You idiot. Not everything can see with human eyes. We can't let our guard down. Not even when we're alone.

George : I get it. I get it. Just tell me what I need to do already.

Kuragari : *sigh* to kill dark mages, we need three trainings. Body, magic, martial art. Body training was workout. You don't need muscles but need to be in shape. That's why I told you to train every morning.

George : I do that every morning. But, I'm not sure it's really helping me or not.

Kuragari : You'll know soon. And second was magic. Your magic type was earth. In the future I know.... earth magic can create golems and control them. And that's only thing earth users can do that. But, I know everything about magic more than anyone on this planet. Because I've watch many supernatural genre animes.

George : Like that... you say things that I can't understand. No, I think no one could understand those words.

Kuragari : It's because I'm the spirit from another world. I might be otaku in that world. But in this world, I'm unparalleled supreme genius. No human would able to stand against me.

George : What about anti-spirit spell?

Kuragari : You underestimating me, boy. I know them very well. Those spells can only protect the user or trap the spirit for a certain limited time. They can't eliminate a spirit at all. They're useless.

George : What! Really?

Kuragari : Yes. But, that doesn't mean I'm invincible. Everything have weakness and spirits are not exception. I know the way to eliminate myself or any other spirits. I'm not into suicide but everyone should know the best way to kill themselves.

George : I don't like that topic.

Kuragari : Because you're still a kid. Listen boy, immortality wasn't good thing when you're the only one who have that. You'll understand that someday.

George : You always talk like that. I wonder I would become like you when I'm old.

Kuragari : I doubt. Anyway, let's continue about magic training. Can you create a golem?

George : I can.

Kuragari : Show me.

The boy raised his hand and magic circle appeared infront of his hand palm. Seconds later, a golam appeared infront of him

George : See. That's my golem.

Kuragari : Yes. But, it's really tiny. It only have six or seven inches. And it's just a figure. It didn't even move.

George : That's the best I can do for now.

Kuragari : Can you change the shape? Try making a monkey.

George : Monkey? Out of anything, why monkey?

Kuragari : Just do it already.

The boy raised his hand and magic circle appeared infront of his hand palm. After a few seconds, a monkey golem appeared

George : Is this okay?

Kuragari : Let me try.

George : Try what? Huh....oldman?

The man stand up from the sofa and walked toward the door. He opened the door and saw the ray of light. He walked out and the door was closed. In mini second, he was already transported into outside world as a spirit. He noticed that the boy couldn't see him. He went into the monkey golem. Inside of monkey golem was empty and he directly reached to control the whole body because of that

Kuragari/Golem : Hey boy, I'm here.

The boy surprised that he heard the man's voice with his ears, not in his head

George : Oldman? Where are you? Why did I heard your voice?

Kuragari/Golem : Because I came out from your body and now I'm inside of monkey golem.

The boy shocked and look to monkey golem

George : What? How?

Kuragari : Anyway...now I know the reason why your golems didn't move.

George : Huh?

Kuragari : Because they can't!

The boy confused

George : What do you mean they can't?

Kuragari/Golem : You have no idea how golems' structure works, right?

George : What are you talking about?

Kuragari/Golem : *sigh* it seems you have to learn how bone structure works first.

The man leave the monkey golem and went inside the boy's body. After a mini second, he went back infront of sofa again. He sat down on it and let heavy sigh

George : You already back? Did you figured out how to pocess or leave?

Kuragari : Yes, I did. Days ago, two doors appeared near sofa. One lead to your body and one lead to outside world. That's how I'm able to control your body or leave your body.

The boy surprised

George : Amazing! Tell me how inside of golem.

Kuragari : Golems have no conscious. I just directly control their body. But I can't move because it can't move from the start.

George : Are you saying that I'm lacking something in making golems?

Kuragari : Exactly. You have to learn the bone structures and main points of body.

George : Sounds like really pain. Then, what should I do now? I don't want to study again today.

Kuragari : Let's try making weapons with your magic. Only earth magic and dark magic can creat weapons which users can hold. Fire, water, air and light couldn't do that. They might able to create weapons but they can't hold them. If you have sword make of rock, you can go against any kind of melee weapons unless they're not big one. Because heavy weapons like great swords can break rocks by force. They might not sharp but really strong. Oh wait..... did you really know how actual weapons looks like?

George : Umm..... I think I know a little.

Kuragari : That wasn't enough. You need to know how they exactly look like. You need to study them too.

The boy disappointed

George : I should've lied.

Kuragari : Boy, did you forget that I can hear every thoughts of your. Even if you say a lie, I can still hear your thoughts. So, you can't actually lie to me.

George : Damn it.

Kuragari : Enough with that. Let's make a nail but bigger and don't have head.

The boy confused

George : A nail? Why not a knife or a blade?

Kuragari : Just do as I say. Smaller projectiles are more useful for assassins. Easy to carry. Can shoot fast. The smaller the weapon, harder to deflect it.

George : How did you know those things?

Kuragari : I'm also a nerd. I know many things that useless in my world.

George : Umm....how should I react to that?

Kuragari : Just forgot it.
