Chapter 70 - Minor Reaction

"Question marks…?" Nathan muttered.

He then held his chin as he muses these words for a bit. 

After a few moments, he then said: "What is your ability then?"

'He was not at all surprised by this? I thought he would ask further, but surprisingly…' Randy silently thought this, but soon ignored this thought of his and quickly answered his father's question.

"Well, it says that I can assimilate with other creatures' blood and then use their ability for myself when the assimilation is complete. Actually, I have absorbed a creature's blood already." 

Randy honestly responded to his question.

This was his own father and mother, so there was no need to hide anything from them, rather it would be strange if he were to hide it from them at this point. 

Well, he would not completely reveal everything to them though, like how he went and apprehend a criminal right after acquiring his ability or the fact that his system seemed to have upgraded itself. 

These are things that could lead to some unwanted troubles, after all, no one had heard of a system upgrading itself before, so it was better to not tell anyone for now, not even to his own parents.

He could feel like by telling them, he would be putting them in trouble in the case where someone tried to probe them for some sort of answers using their unique ability, for example, a mind-reading ability or more terrifying kind like a mind invading ability. 

Randy could not afford to bring this risk on his parents, so he decided to keep it to himself.

As for whether someone finds out about it through him, at least they would only target him and not his family when that time comes, so he does not mind. 

"So your innate ability is assimilation with blood? And you said, you already absorbed a creature's blood? What creature was it?" Nathan asked him upon hearing his response. 

"A werewolf," Randy replied.

"A werewolf?!"

This time even Riley joined her husband as they both exclaimed when they heard their son's response.

At this point, they were both standing since they immediately jumped from their seat.

Nathan had a look of dread on his face and then he inquired after him in a concerned tone: "Are you okay, how did you even encounter such a creature and how did you survive such an encounter? From what I knew, those creatures like to feast on the flesh of humans the most."

Saying so, he turned to Riley who suddenly spoke at this moment: "Dear, I forgot to mention this earlier since you had only just come home, and I did not want to bother you much during your working hours, so I did not tell you about this…"

Randy decided to continue with the story without waiting for his mother to finish. After all, he should be the one telling the story, rather than his mom.

"Well, I had already told mom about running into a rift that suddenly opened…"

Saying so, he recounted his experience once again while leaving out some details and then concluded by saying that: "During their fight, the one that was bleeding, its blood flew and entered my mouth, causing me to feel extreme pain when I swallowed it unintentionally. After enduring the pain for a while, I suddenly fainted and when I came to, those monsters had already left. At the time before fainting, I suddenly heard a mysterious voice in my head and when I awoke, I was informed through my system that I had already assimilated with that werewolf's blood and obtain its abilities."

After saying all that, he did not wait for them to ask, and he abruptly transformed his form into the werewolf form completely, with his fangs and everything on display.

Once again, these were his parents, so there should not be any secret between generally.

Unless it was detrimental to them, otherwise he would not hide anything like this from them. 

And well, this werewolf form was not something that he could hide forever anyway, so he might as well display his full strength to them; In that way, they will become aware of how truly strong he had become rather than underestimate him due to showing them the weakened transformation.

With that thought in mind, Randy brazenly showed them the complete transformation of the reinforcement(Werewolf King of Wind), so right now, his physical strength was at least an S-rank level, but not his magical energy or any of his other form of energies. 

Sensing the fierce aura emanating from Randy's body, Riley was shocked, and then she muttered in a low voice: "Oh my god…"

However, for some reason, at this time, Nathan looked at him and then suddenly doubtfully asked: "This can't be all there is to your ability, right?"

"Eh? How can you tell?" Randy was genuinely surprised by his father's words this time. 

"Don't worry about the details… So what other abilities do you have?" Nathan waved his hand dismissively as he asked further.

"Well, let's see, I have Blood Assimilate, Blood Authority, Blood Fusion, Blood Scan, and some that were still greyed out at the moment due to not meeting the requirement, so I don't know what they were either" Randy replied to him.

Naturally, he did not mention any ability that he had acquired through blood fusion or blood assimilation.

Nonetheless, both Nathan and Riley were speechless when they heard this, but strangely enough, they did not react as much as one would expect from this list of abilities and only asked Randy about these abilities work.

Without any hesitation, after undoing his transformed state, Randy briefly explained to them the gist of how his abilities work.

"I see… So Blood Authority allows you to manipulate your own blood and even other people's blood? Just as I thought you really are…" Nathan muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Dad, what did you say?" 

Randy asked after seeing that his father was saying something, he could only vaguely hear the last part of his sentence.
