Chapter 4 - Way To Another World

2 days had easily passed...

Haru was assisting Riku in getting out of the luxury car. "Master Riku, I can carry you if you can't still walk."

He slowly shook his head. "No, I'm fine, Haru. Just prepare the mana plate so I can see the outcome of my mutation." Riku stated as he stepped out of the van.

"But, Master Riku, I'm afraid I'm not going to agree with you on this one. In the meantime, you must rest your body because the mana plate has the potential to drain all of your mana inside your body."

Haru was correct about getting your evaluation, so if certain people stepped into the mana plate without their perfect condition. It is possible that the true outcome will not be revealed.

"The same goes for your father. He's the one who worried you so much while you were unconscious." Haru said as he opened the massive door for him.

He deeply sighed, cause even Akio forced him to enroll in the business class. He was savvy that his father did this for his sake.

"I suppose you're correct, Haru. I should take a break and think about what I'll do next before I see the mutation result." Riku grumbled as he entered the mansion.

"Don't be concerned, master Riku; I've already purchased the mana plate for you. So, whenever you're ready, we can conduct the evaluation." Haru had known Riku for a long time and knew he would be eager.

WELCOME BACK MASTER RIKU!

The two rows of maids greeted him immediately, but the burned room was the first thing he noticed.

"Thank you, please take care of me," he said with a slight nod. He turned around to ask Haru, but before he could spit the words out of his mouth, he had already answered him.

"Yes, master Riku, when you're unconscious due to awakening. This room has been reduced to ashes, as has the mana plate you've used." Riku expressed himself politely.

Riku reasoned that if the mana plate didn't burn, he might be able to see the outcome without having to retake it.

"Okay, I'll return to my room to rest. Haru does not allow anyone to bother me." Riku said this before going upstairs.

"I understand, master Riku, but I'd like to let you know that your father has gone on a business trip, and lady Yui is waiting for you inside your room." Haru vanished from everyone's view after spitting these words.

His eyelids widened as he wondered what Yui was doing inside his room.

HARUUUUU!

Knowing Yui's aggressiveness, he went to the right side and gulped his saliva after a few moments.

He placed his hand on the door and gently pushed it open. He looked through the small gap and saw Yui sleeping peacefully.

"Phew! I guess I have nothing to be concerned about."

He walked in. The room was surrounded by expensive items, such as a gold chandelier, the most recent computer set, and a large bed that could sleep five people.

"Hmm... She looked so at ease in my bed, and she looked like a princess while she slept." Nonetheless, he shook his head as bad things happened in his head. "What am I thinking? I'm just here to rest, that's all."

Riku slowly laid on his bed, so he couldn't wake up the woman next to him. By looking at Yui, you could easily tell that she was exhausted for some reason.

...

[7:00 PM]

Someone pinched Riku's cheek, causing him to awaken. He slowly opened his eyes to see the lovely lady resting her head on his chest.

He backed up so quickly that his head barely made contact with the concrete wall.

Thud!

"Ouch!" He scratched the back of his head, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

"What are you doing, honey? Are you all right?" Yui spoke in a seductive tone.

His face flushed as he gently pushed him back. "H-Honey? Yui, where did you get that word?" Riku stammered, while his chest was rubbed by soft objects.

"Riku, we're getting married next month. So I think it's best for both of us if I call you that way." Yui explained, with pity in her eyes, that no one could stand.

"Yui, we're no longer married. When that day comes, call me that..." Riku came to a halt as he realized what he had said.

"Really, Riku, you're okay with me calling you that?" Yui said as she cheerfully rubbed her face against him.

He sighed softly and said. "Yeah, because I can retract what I've already said."

He was accepting that this woman would be his wife soon, though his feelings were not the same as Yui's. He can learn how to love this woman in the future in his mind.

"Thank you very much, Riku! I knew you were the right man for me the moment I saw you for the first time." Yui hugged him and looked as if she wouldn't let him go.

Knock, knock, knock...

They both heard someone knocking on the door. "Dinner is ready, Master Riku and Lady Yui." Behind the door, a woman's sweet voice could be heard.

Yui raised her head only slightly. "Are you going to leave, Riku? I'd like to stay in this position for a while longer."

He gently pushed her back with his hands on her shoulders. "Yui, I'm already hungry. In addition, I just got out of the hospital. I'm still working on regaining my strength." He explained before getting out of bed. "Are you going to join my dinner or will you just stay here?"

She shook her head merrily, then held Riku's hands without hesitation. "No, honey, I'll join you!"

Riku was uneasy, but he chose to walk with her in this manner.

...

The table was set with everything delectable that looked like they were having a feast dinner. But for Riku and Yui, it was just another day in their lives.

In every bit of Yui, She was staring at Riku, and her face showed how much she loved the man-eating next to him.

After an hour, both of them were finished it and Haru appeared on Riku's behind. "You look fine now, master Riku. There something good happens?"

"Haru, where did you go, huh?" Riku asked him with a high tone.

"I just went to Fuji to ask for more detail about what exactly happened to you."

He stood up and looked at Haru with a solemn expression. "Let's talk; I have a question for you."

"May I accompany you?" Yui inquired.

He simply raised his shoulders, and Haru and Yui followed him to his destination. "What did Fuji say? Did he learn anything useful?"

"He still had no idea, but Fuji is conducting an investigation and will notify us once he finds out something." Haru raised his brows, perplexed as to why this man had changed their location.

Yui was staring at both of them from inside the large room. "Are you a level 3 mutant, Haru?"

Haru gave him a slight nod of his head. "Yes, master, why did you inquire?"

"Haru can you let me punch your face?"

Riku's current level was 1 if he succeeded in becoming a mutant. Aside from that, once the people were transformed into mutants, their power was ten times greater than that of ordinary people.

Yui and Haru appeared to have figured out what Riku was up to. "No problem, master Riku; if you've truly been transformed into a level 1 mutant, I believe I can handle your power."

"Thank you, Haru, and be prepared! I'll come right over." Riku moved away from his current location by stretching his left arm.

Swoosh!

As soon as he met the right distance he needed, he charged towards Harun while swinging his arm.

Thud!

His fist swiftly landed on Haru's face, but no reaction or force to push Haru even a bit. "Master Riku, your strength is weaker than the ordinary people."

"Let me try again, I just slipped."

Thud!

He did the same thing, but the result was also the same. A strong possibility the mutation was failed, it was the main reason he was frustrated.

"Haru, where's the mana plate? If the mutation is failed there's no something you need to worry about because it means there's no mana in my genes." Riku explained.

An ordinary person hasn't had any amount of mana in their body. So if they evaluate Riku's right now he might be not affected.

"Wait for a second..."

Haru has vanished for just 3 seconds, and when he came back he already had the mana plate. "Master Riku, are you sure about this? Master Akio will scold me once he knows about this."

Pat...

"I already assume that I failed the evaluation, I just want to have peace of mind." Riku said, then gently touched Haru's shoulder.

"Master Haru, don't say that. Your biological parents had possessed by rare genes, so I'm sure that you have one."

"Haru, you know there are some cases even their parents had the monster's genes, they were still not inherited it to their sons and daughters. For me, I don't want to expect too much so I wanted to know it right now."

At this point, Haru placed the mana plate on the surface. "Once the mana plate lightens up, don't make any moves."

"Sure."

He stepped the mana plate, then blue while coating the entire body. A mild heat crawled up to his body.

Name: Riku Hirota

Race: Human

Mutant level: 1

Title: Genes King

Evolution: 1st level

Mana pool: 15

Haru's eyelids were widened after seeing the result of Riku's evaluation. "No, what is this?"

Boom!

Inside the spacious arena, a massive explosion appeared as the two large pillars appeared on Riku's behind. It was come from the sky and emitted so much energy.

"Master Riku, get out of the place!"

"Riku!"

Before he could notice the pillars, they sucked him inside and his existence vanished from the mansion.

RIKU!
