[scene : Colt is in his room, the morning sun is shining through the window, the view closes in on Colt, we see he's wide awake, waiting and thinking]
After what I've seen, I don't really have another choice.
If I threaten him, he'll shout his lungs out as soon as I leave. Then, even if I kill him later... the nobles won't leave this domain in peace.
They might even send someone worse as punishment.
I don't have another choice.
Survive, survive, protect, save, survive.
Threat, kill, eliminate, threat.
Oh… that's right... this isn't earth… normal morals don't apply here.
The morals that allow that pig to run free..
Those are what governs this world..
And those are what governed earth.. difference is: I can do something about it.
Survival... survive, Mark, Clarissa, protect, save.
*Clarissa gently opens the door, enters the room*
Clarissa [gently] : "Wake up, it's time for school".
Colt [weakly] : "I can't."
[ Clarissa puts her hand on his forehead]
Clarissa [ worried ] : "You're burning up, are you sick?"
I don't need to mess with her this time, I'm not in the mood either… and I don't want her staying…
Colt [weakly] : "No, I'll be fine tomorrow, promise, just need to rest."
Clarissa [leaving and closing the door] : "Such a good boy, rest then".
Too easy.
Heating my forehead with an ice lens and sunlight was brilliant.
*Colt gets up*
I thought of using fire but, I deemed it too dangerous.
I made the ice by making water molecules closer, that simple.
I need to upgrade that as well.
*Heads to the window.*
Now for the mission.
"invisibility"
*Colt fades, the window opens and closes.*
[scene : Invisible Colt staring at the wall of the lord's mansion]
I can easily get in and out by bending the fence or the bars of the gate if I needed.
But, after mastering water prison I learned that…
If I know about a certain constant, I can set its value however I want.
This is untested, but if it works, then that's another OP skill.
Set G = 0
*Invisible Colt starts floating*
I can't believe that actually worked.
Since it's a constant, it equals 6.67430 × 10^(-11) no matter where in the universe you are.
What varies with each planet is g (gravitational acceleration).
So by setting G to 0 I nullified the gravitational force on me.
Now by wind magic... control my movements.
*Invisible Colt floats above the fence and lands on the other side.*
I dub you "float"... I need to upgrade it later.
*His feet touch the ground*
Aaand nailed it!
Now to sneak inside..
[scene : Colt in the domain lord's room staring daggers at him sleeping ]
That lazy pig is asleep like a baby with a guilt-free conscience.
People are dying, you damned…
*Colt creates the gas.*
*Colt takes out the blood filled syringe and injects the domain lord*
He should develop a fever in 24 to 72 hours.
Let's hope his immune system isn't strong enough.
Now, to head home.
[Two days later in school before class starts]
[Colt enters the classroom to find Ken and Bella ]
Ken's alright! I don't know if it's the antibiotics or his immune system.
Either way, it's good that my efforts weren't wasted.
Ken [ with a bright and cheerful smile ]"Hey Colt, thanks for visiting the other day."
Colt [smiles calmly]: "It's all thanks to Bella."
*Bella blushes*
Ken : "Hey, did you hear? They say the domain lord is sick and is in pretty bad shape."
Well, I didn't give a though to sanitizing the needle so…
Bella : "Yeah, I heard a healer is coming to treat him."
OK, what?!! A healer?! In this backwater town?!
Let's get it straight.
Colt : "You mean with healing magic or…?"
Bella [ visible confusion]: "How else can you treat a sick person?!!!"
Great, so healing magic does exist.
But we'll have time to dwell on it later.
For now …
Colt : "When will he be here??"
Bella : "Tomorrow, I think."
Kids and their gossip… never disappoints.
I'll need to end it today, then.
[scene : Colt's snuck in again to the domain lord's room ]
*After the gas*
Colt [with resentment] :"This is the last time you inhale this gas you waste of space. *moment of silence* You embody everything I despise. But at least you're better than those on earth… at least you were open about being trash. I won't be seeing your face again."
*Injects air near the heart*
Time to head home.
[Colt narrating in the background]
After that, the old domain lord came back from retirement until they find a suitable person.
[scene : The kind old man signing a paper]
And the first two things he did: he lowered the taxes to 5 copper or 0.5 large copper... half of what they were originally.
[scene : The old man giving food to some people, accompanied by Mark and other men]
And he handed out food to the hungry as a way of apology.
[scene : The view closes in on Mark's house, shows Colt looking through the closed window, a combination of pride and darkness in his eyes, his face holds no emotion or reaction]
I don't know if what I did was good or bad…
And I honestly don't care or regret it…
[We see some kids playing, that was what Colt was looking at]
And, looking at these results.
[In the void, flickers of dark green flame emerge]
I'd do it a thousand times.
