Beyond of the Scale

#39 - I don't like him

Hello, dragons! This chapter took a while to arrive, but it's here! I've been distracted a lot by games, movies and my lack of willpower is also a problem, I also had to help a family member who had computer problems, but I won't stop writing and here I am back, enjoy this chapter and don't forget to support me on patreon! 😋

-----------------------------------

I'm blind, everything is white, this intense brightness has blinded me! I can't see anything! "Ouch!" I hit my head on something hard, I try to guide myself in another direction. "Ouch!" I feel a pain in my tail, something froze my tail! "Hey!" Someone grabbed my tail, leaving me upside down once again, I try to free myself, I can't see who is holding me, but they are holding my tail very tightly, I don't like this!

The blindness slowly begins to fade, the figure holding me gradually revealing itself, but I don't stop trying to free myself. "Shindora, please calm down." I recognize that voice, it's Lilia's voice, that's right, she had just arrived, how could I have forgotten that? My vision is returning, but I still can't see her, damn it, I can't even use [Telepathy] like this, I need to see to direct the connecting wire. "Nilio, put Shindora down." Lilia says with a serious expression, then it's Nilio who's holding me, she's ordering him and he really does put him down. "Sorry, he was banging his head against the wall and putting his tail in the fire." Nilio says with regret in his voice, so that's why my tail hurt at that time, and it's tail, tail!

After a few minutes my vision returned to normal and I looked at the inscription I made, but the circle was gone and in the center of where the circle should be, there is a candelabra, its fire is brown with blue particles coming out of it. When I look at my tail, there is a brown shell attached to it, the cold is still there, but it doesn't hurt anymore, it seems to have worked. Checking my status in [Cortex], I gained a new ability and I realize that the crystal made me sleep for real, made me turn the day around, we arrived yesterday afternoon and I woke up in the morning, although now it is afternoon.

I remove that cold earthy shell from my tail, While I ignore Nilio lecturing me, I don't even pay attention to what he's saying, for me it's all "blah blah blah" until I hear Lilia's voice. "Nilio, yelling won't help, Shindora, why did you do that?" I want to answer her, she was much nicer to me, it's not because I'm in love with her, I would definitely answer Nilio if he stopped yelling. I quickly weave a thread of [Telepathy] and connect to Lilia's mind. {I was learning a new skill, I didn't expect there to be a flash.} I obviously omitted the information that the book said there was a chance of explosion, since there wasn't an actual explosion, I didn't mention it. "Netty told me you were reading this book, we both don't know where you got this book from, but it says here that there is a chance of explosion." Nilio didn't hear what I said, but it seems like he knows everything I think! You party pooper, I'm going to bite your ass!

Lilia takes the book and starts looking through it, flipping through the pages. "Where did you get this?" She asks curiously, her voice like a flower to my ears, she had reason to be curious, if I don't leave the house, where did I get this book? But even so, I'm not very willing to tell, I don't know if it's a good idea to reveal about [Cortex]. {I found it somewhere.} That's all I said, but Nilio gets sulky when Lilia repeats to him, don't you dare! "Then this isn't yours, stealing is wrong! Whoever it belongs to, I'm going to give it to the officers to take to the owner." He says turning to take my book away, you pile of shit, come back here! I whip a thread of [Telepathy] into his mind, he's dazed with the headache. {This is mine!} I speak angrily into the link, I really, really want to bite his ass, it doesn't matter if it stinks, that's where it's going to hurt the most. "No, this isn't yours, you stole it from someone and I'm going to give it back!" Nilio responds angrily. "Nilio, stop it!" Lilia tries to stop him, but he doesn't stop.

I run after him with all my hatred, he turns around when he notices my advance and I jump towards his ass with my mouth wide open, showing my fangs, but my advance is stopped when someone holds me. When I look back, Netty was holding me tightly. "Nilio, that's enough." Netty scolds Lilia's brother and then looks at me, his expression saying he wanted the truth. "Shindora, how did you get that book? Why did it appear out of nowhere?" Netty asks me and I know I have to say something, but what? I can't talk about my ability, but if I keep avoiding talking, I might lose the book. I lower my head in surrender and weave a thread of [Telepathy] with Netty. {The book is mine, I didn't steal it from anyone. I don't know if it's a good idea to tell more than that.} I explain sincerely, I told him to imply that I have a particular way of getting the book, but I also didn't reveal how.

"I don't like him." I think, still angry, but I keep my head down, not daring to look at anyone, while the 3 in the group debate about what I said, I can hear that the basis of the conversation is the fact that Netty denies that I stole it and that the book appeared out of nowhere in front of me, they theorize if it was a storage spell, but Nilio refutes it with the argument that I don't have spatial magic, I wonder how he knows that, does he also have [Analysis]? I've never analyzed him, is it common to have this ability? I thought it was special, but it seems common, I'm still not sure, but it's better to be careful who uses this ability, if it's common, there must be a way to identify the origin, it would give away my position if I used it secretly. "I just don't understand where these strange thoughts come from, all I want to do now is find something to take a bite of." I think, looking around, only to notice that Cane isn't here, his absence makes me sweat colder than with him present, it seems like he's about to commit some atrocity somewhere else.
