Chapter 41: Gut feeling

It was 5 pm when Jason arrived in front of the Fler-mansion and he had to call Greg as he couldn't lift the beast cage alone.

Artemis was curled up on Jason's shoulder and it looked like a fluffy ball was placed there, while they waited for Greg, who was confused why he had to come outside before he spotted a large cage next to Jason that waved at him.

He noticed the scaled wolf inside the cage but somehow this confused him even more

"Hey Jason, what are you doing here with this scaled wolf??"

Jason predicted Greg´s confusion and said smiling mischievously

"Hey Greg, to be honest, I´m not doing anything special with this scaled wolf. I only want to sell it to your parents, nothing else. Can you please help me bring the cage inside without killing the wolf?"

Greg was rather dull and liked to fight more than brooding over something.

As such he didn't like to think too complicated and simply nodded.

"I can bring the cage inside, no problem."

Lifting the cage as if it was nothing special, Greg walked inside and left Jason who sighed and followed suit.

In the end, Jason was again in the living room like the day before but now there were two cages, one cage which was his own with the sleeping scaled wolf inside while the other cage was at least five meters high and 8 meters in width and length.

Inside this gigantic cage was a large green eagle with a length of around 3 meters inside.

From its mana core, Jason noticed that the mana was a good amount larger than Malia´s, and activating his Mana eyes, he saw a green color he had seen once before, while Jason was also able to spot a completed mana core with one liquefied mana drop inside the core

`Is that a magical beast?`

The cage the eagle was inside was empowered by mana stones and Jason noticed mana flowing throughout the whole cage, reinforcing its toughness.

After Jason saw the eagle he noticed two people sitting on the couch with strong but familiar mana cores.

Seeing Greg´s parents, Jason immediately bowed slightly before saying

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Fler, nice meeting you again." Smiling while looking at them.

Greg´s parents couldn't see any sadness or frustration inside Jason´s golden shining eyes which wondered them slightly, as they told Malia to relly their message word by word.

Gabriella, Greg´s mother gave him the signal to sit down before greeting him with a `Hello Jason`

The whole couch surrounded a small glass table while Malia and Greg sat at the site, Jason was sitting right in front of the Fler parents, looking around awkwardly, while the Fler´s looked at Jason intensively.

Jason placed Artemis on his lap where she continued her nap.

Mrs. Fler opened her mouth first

"Jason, I think you already figured out why we called you here, didn't you?"

She smiled apologetically but somehow there was something else in her eyes that was only noticed by him and Mr. Fler who knew about her feelings.

`Is she sad or angry?` Jason wondered

"Mr. and Mrs. Fler assume that I bought the five-star wild beast corpses. Following that scenario, this implies that I wanted to trick everyone here to get into a prosperous school in an A-grade city, right?" Jason guessed.

He wasn't really sad about this, as it would be weird for him to kill five star wild beasts so easily without getting help or buying these carcasses but Jason was still disappointed.

`Why are the Fler´s even bothering in giving me a mission, that is not possible in their opinion?`

Nevertheless, the chances to enter a school inside an A-grade city just gave too many benefits, as Jason could faintly understand their suspicion but he still had some hope left about this matter and he wanted to try showing them his combat prowess if needed.

Gabriella was astounded about Jason´s calmness which gave him some extra points but she was still unsure how she should handle this situation. Did he really kill them, even though he doesn´t have any great martial art techniques or a remarkable mana core rank. And his soulbond is also extremely weak`

"That's true. I don't believe a 4th Novice rank can kill a five-star wild beast with such clean cuts even if you assassinated them. That should not be possible without getting professional training and please don't try to tell me your two-star wild beast soulbond was such great support that you were able to hunt them. That would make you even less credible in my eyes."

Jason was still calm but he thought that Mrs. Fler was a little bit prejudiced... If someone with professional training could do something like that, why shouldn't he be able to?

And what's wrong with his soulbond?

Furrowing his brows, Gabriella thought her provocation made him angry which was her actual plan.

It wasn't like she hated Jason, but she had to find out who he was before she could do anything.

She still remembered the time when Greg's classmates befriended him only due to their parents' order which caused huge damage to Greg's mental health.

As a mother, she didn't want her son to feel something like that ever again so she had to be strict and kinda evil.

Sensing the presumable sadness in her eyes, Jason remembered Malia's concern and his gaze wandered to Greg.

Tilting his head slightly as if he didn't understand something Jason looked at Greg who also looked at him with question marks in his eyes.

Returning his gaze to Mrs. Fler he said with all the confidence he could bring out.

"I don't think I need to explain myself, do I?

If you don't believe me why was there even such a task to begin at?

I don't need anyone´s charity and I don't even want anyone to think that the things I did at the soul-awakening were sophisticated plans.

Nobody here owes me a favor and I did these things on my own accord.

If you don't want me to follow you to Cyro-city just say so and don't try to find other excuses.

I killed these five-star wild beats with the help of my soulbond and I don't really care about the opinions of others about this matter. "

Ending his slightly furious monologue, Jason looked into Mrs. Fler's eyes which were still quite difficult for him to read but he couldn't back down.

He changed the subject quickly before anyone could say anything.

"I also came here for some business.

Maybe Mr. and Mrs. Fler have already seen the beast cage Greg brought in.

Today I was hunting inside the one-star plains wild zone and I found this two-star wild beast scaled wolf.

I think many nobles, newly rich´s or merchants with weak soul energy would be interested in it."

Forcing a smile Jason was still kinda angry but at least for business sake, he had to show a calm face.

"Why should we be interested in a wild rank beast?"

Mr. Fler said something for the first time and it was time for Jason to say something dumb to prevent his secret to get exposed.

"My gut feeling says this beast´s potential is kinda good." Jason tried to show an innocent expression but it worked only partly as everyone looked at him a little bit weird.

"Jason, are you fine? You don't look good" Greg asked worriedly.

He began to sweat slightly but he remained calm and waited for their parents to say something.

Unnoticed by Jason, Mrs. Fler had gestured Malia to look at the cage and she was already in front of it with her quantum bracelet projecting a realistic scaled wolf next to the sleeping one with all of its characteristics written down in detail.

She exclaimed excitedly

"This scaled wolf is larger than normal ones and its scales are shining brightly. They are definitely tougher than the ones from normally scaled wolves."

Before she continued slightly dejected

"But other than that I can't see anything special... I don't think that this scaled wolf can reach the awakened rank"

Mr. Fler opened his mouth again.

"Without reaching the awakened rank at the least it's almost useless to catch this scaled wolf even if it's somewhat stronger as its brethren. Can you prove your gut feeling? There is no way for us to tell our clients that our gut feeling is enough reason that a certain beasts potential is good"

Jason felt somewhat annoyed...why should he explain everything?

He was about to get really angry as he noticed Mrs. Flers eyes and he hesitated for a moment

'Why is she looking at me like that, when she was the one provoking me? She is surely not concerned about me… '

"Why don't you take a test about its potential with the basic equipment you have here? Greg told me that here is everything one needed to make simple tests about potential. It would be easier for everyone if we finish it that way, wouldn't it?"

The Fler parents heard Jason´s reasoning and glared at Greg that be looked innocently at his parents

`Our son betrayed us????`

It was getting more and more difficult for them to hold up their show and both sighed before nodding their head.

They suddenly changed their attitude by almost 180 degrees and Gabriella Fler smiled at Jason apologetically.

"We can do that for sure… and sorry for provoking you.. I hope you didn't take it to your heart"
