The Legacy System

All the newspapers and TV news channels opened with the same headline today!

'Takeshiba's young princess Takeshiba Aika, caught fooling around with a poor chap! Is this an inverse Cinderella love story!?' ​​

The identity of the poor guy was kept a mystery, but the news was sensational nonetheless. There was also photo evidence but the guy's face was hidden.

Reading and hearing this headline, Eric had a smile on his face. He didn't know it would turn into such a piece of big news, yesterday when he sold the news.

But he didn't sell it for the money, it was for a more important reason. This was Takeshiba Aika's test, the previous day she had returned him all the money she owed.

There was nothing forcing her to be by his side anymore, if she accepted the fact that he was poor, and still stayed by his side, her life would be easier from now on.

If she selected the second route, then he would play with her on his own terms, which weren't anything good for her.

He just had to wait and see what would happen today, not that it made a big change for him. Takeshiba Aika seemed like a good and fun girl.

But he had only seen her when she owed him something, or she thought he was a rich Young Master, soon he was going to see the real her.

With this thought in mind, he continued with his daily routine and went for training on his way to school.

In the 3-4 days that passed he had tracked down the owner of the apartment right above theirs, and it seemed like it was empty at the moment.

He had called for a meeting with the owner for tomorrow, at Kirigaya's restaurant, and was ready to propose him a one-year rent contract, with the possibility of buying after that.

He was ready to pay all year in advance if it was needed. He really wanted that place to be his, he was getting tired of his small bedroom.

Even though he just used it to sleep, it was still not to his standards he was used to sleeping in big beds, and big rooms, he wouldn't use this one even as a toilet in his previous life.

The other important thing was that yesterday night he had ordered Tina, to bring Daisuke to their house today evening, it was time he put his plan to act.

These three days he had had a few good training sessions and also some good farming experience. He had already passed level 10 and had made more than 300 SP points.

He had also bought the skill Slave-seal apprentice the previous night and had used his bonus skill point, on that one.

Just like he had thought, with the first upgrade he had earned one more slave-seal slot from this ability, it was the best he could get.

That was why he was so happy today, everything was taking a turn for the best, he just was hoping that Takeshiba Aika would take the easy way.

With these thoughts in mind, he did his morning training and went to take a shower at the campus gym facilities.

Just like the first time he had seen her, Takeshiba Aika was there doing some Yoga practice or something. He was too focused on her body to understand what she was doing.

Since their relationship had been good these days, he entered inside, and with an idiotic happy face he said,

Eric:" Good morning Aika, it's so nice to see you first thing in the morning like always."

In these few days that they had been together, they had dropped the honorifics and were talking to each other on a first-name basis.

Takeshiba Aika, seemed like she had been waiting for him, turning around she had a clear fake happy face as she said,

Takeshiba Aika:" Good morning Eric, likewise. I have been waiting for a while for you. I need to tell you something!"

Eric on the other hand put a fake confused look on his face and said with a likewise voice,

Eric:" Oh really? About what!?"

Takeshiba Aika's expression seemed to change there and that, and from that fake happy face, she now had an arrogant and proud face and said with clear mocking on her face,

Takeshiba Aika:" About the fact how a toad like you, wanted to taste some swan meat like me. It's preposterous don't you think so?

To think I almost fell for that."

Eric's good mood seemed to disappear at this moment, but he decided to play her game a bit, he didn't want to wrongly judge her, at the same time he was concentrating his senses on her heartbeat.

So with an even more confused look, he said,

Eric:" What do you mean Aika?"

Furious at being called with so familiarity by this dust, Takeshiba Aika said with a more despotic voice,

Takeshiba Aika:" You still talking to me like we are that close trash? You don't have to pretend anymore, I know you are just poor trash.

Maybe you haven't a TV in your house to watch the news, but you have been in the headlines all this morning. My father punished me because of you.

The only reason I didn't say your name is because of the story we are linked, otherwise you would be praying to die by now.

From now on, try to not get close to me though, otherwise who knows what might happen."

Eric at first thought that there might be some kind of innocence and goodness on her, and she was trying to protect him, but in reality, she was just like that.

Sometimes people were just that rotten, and their opinions were just that sick. This kind of cooled Eric's good mood, once again he was taught that people are just cold selfish creatures.

Everyone thinks of himself and doesn't care about the others. Sometimes he wondered that even if someone killed in the middle of the street, people would just go their way.

They would just continue walking towards their goal, while not caring in the least about the guy being killed.

And when they had some free time, they would post consolation or solidarity posts on social media trying to show their humanity.

This was the reality people were living everyday, clear hypocrisy that everyone kept alive every day. Even now Eric's expectations were probably higher than most.

But anyway, since she had chosen this way then he would just have to adopt his second way. He was a bit excited about this though because it would be fun.

With this thought in mind, he just looked at those swaying curves in front of him with a grin on his face. Very soon that same person would come begging at his feet.

Since Takeshiba Aika had left the place and he had already taken his shower, he just got out and started walking towards the auditorium.

But man that idiot didn't seem to get tired of being in lessons. Perhaps the small groups he had placed behind him until now were that useless.

He had to find an opportunity to send him to the hospital for some time. Only like that could he be freed by this idiot.

With this thought in mind, he went ahead and sent a message to Tatsuya Minami to find him Takeshiba Yuto's cell number.

He hadn't seen her for some time now, but he thought of letting her thoughts get to her a bit more. Clearly, she should still be trying to find information on him that she didn't have at the moment.

His cooking skills, his secrets. Even though she would be so disappointed to find nothing there, well she might be able to discover that his father was killed but that was for the future.

Right now, he just turned around and left the place, without being noticed. He had to make a few preparations for tonight after all.

The fact that Daisuke would be his slave shouldn't be made known to Tina or anyone else in the near future, he had to get Daisuke's boss too before he did that.

That was why Tina had to be removed from the equation during tonight's happenings. That's why leaving the campus, he went towards the medicinal market.

He needed only two materials at the moment, chloroform to place Tina into a good deep unconscious state, and soybean linseed based ink.

While most of the slave-seal inscription would be made using his blood, at the moment it was impossible for him to do that inscription with his blood on two people.

That was why organic solution ink was suggested by his system to replace the blood needed to complete the seal.

While this would weaken a bit the seal, and he could do it only for people that were only 2 to 3 levels above him, he was still confident of pulling this off.

Daisuke and his boss couldn't be that powerful. But anyway he would have some fun with Takeshiba Yuto and his underlings today, so maybe he would be able to level up once more.

He had wanted to enter the underground fighting's in the meanwhile, but all he could fight were some weaklings that barely gave him one point.

He needed a better background if he wanted to fight stronger fighters. Well, that would be easy as soon as he enslaved Daisuke and his boss.

With these thoughts in mind, he bought the two ingredients and started walking towards his house. Upon arriving there he saw Akira get out of their house.

He knew he might have lost some important information today, but it didn't matter, after enslaving Daisuke he would learn of everything.

Waiting until Akira entered her apartment, he made way towards his own and entered inside. Tina was in a really hot nightgown trying to make dinner.

Daisuke was coming tonight after all. Seeing this scene Eric didn't like it at all, so…
