Become A Human In Another World
ACT 1: Chapter 14 - The Pursuit
I kept running while looking around, to keep an eye on whatever was coming.
It's my fault, for not being sensitive around. Also because I can't see the situation!
I already felt a strong gaze directed at Suzu, but I ignored her instead.
"Stupid me!" I screamed in annoyance, because I was the one who had fallen asleep.
I immediately thought hard. I have to find the person with the protective features with that strange aura!
What am I supposed to do?
"Calm down, Ren. Panic does not produce results."
"First of all, it looks like I have to find a tall building. And use a skill here. There must be something useful," I opened the skill column, then checked.
I found the [Sharp Eyesight] and [Sharp Hearing] skills, which I unceasingly put all the skill points I had into those two skills.
Actually, I have the [Search] skill that I used during practice. But unfortunately, this skill is only useful for searching for objects, not humans or other living things.
At first, I thought this would be very disturbing, but I could filter out what I wanted to see and hear!
I could hear what people were talking about clearly, even when I was running. It is very easy to gather information.
As for the [Sharp Eyesight] skill can make me see things faster, and make it easy to reflex something that comes arriving.
And it felt like every blind spot I had on me was reduced.
If I focus on one point, I can even hear and see from a distance. Somehow it works, but I'm sure, they used Fehl to hook it up.
But I once read, that Fehl was not used to activate the skill, so I suspected that Fehl was in the air, or maybe it was easier to say where.
Oops! I became a preoccupation in my own mind! Even so, I continued to sift through the information that came into me.
I'm at least sure, if it wasn't me who used this skill at the full level at my age, they wouldn't be able to process the incoming information and could go crazy!
But not with me. Inside me was a genius High School teenager who could even do a count of trillions with just a head.
I won't lose that easily!
But, I didn't hear any information about any freaks with black hoods. I just heard the kidnapping news. Can they be invisible?
Or do not let the dark aura emitted from the hood make them invisible?
Everything is unclear. I can't conclude a thing like this. I'm lacking information.
"Wait on! The only difference that exists between all of us is that they are elves and I am human. Or don't there be a certain kind of magic to fool the elves?" I started to hypothesize.
"Only that explains everything." I ran up the watchtower, then looked around.
So far there has been nothing suspicious, but the [Sharp Hearing] skill will definitely gain something.
I prayed a little while doing this.
Meet me! I found a stifled scream. But the voice was very weak.
Whatever it is, if I count it is a sound that matches Suzu's. And it's coming from the southwest.
Whoever it is, it's in danger. Even if it wasn't Suzu, I'd be happy to save one of them. For me that's enough.
Wh why? If I can help, I can also catch the kidnapper.
From there I can scrape the information dry. Whatever that is!
I wonder why people can't see it. But, I was slightly hoping that there would be one who accidentally saw him.
With my physical abilities already improving, it was easy for me to chase after that person in robes. But the problem was, that person was also quite fast even after running! I wonder what his level is and his strength status is.
But, whatever he did would not be able to rival my current speed. I was quite surprised, but considering the "devil" training, Mr. Ruly returned to make me understand.
The pain I felt at the beginning had also started to disappear, as I had gotten used to controlling Fehl leaking as little as possible, so did not hurt myself anymore
So, lucky I have an adaptable body.
"Stop!" I shouted out loudly, trying to reach the black-robed man.
He looked up, then sneered slowly. I can hear it getting clearer.
"More?" that voice?! The sound was like a terrible verdict.
It's Suzu! Suzu is there! Me, I should be able to get it back!
I'm really emotional right now.Fuck the information. I'll make sure this kidnapper doesn't die so easily!!
"Stop your shit!!" I violently forced my body to keep running, closing my distance to her.
He cleverly escaped to the market area, making himself disappear among the crowd. But I'm sure, he wouldn't have expected that I had the [Sharp Hearing] skill, making wherever he ran, I knew where it was.
I ran agilely avoiding the crowds of people one by one. Meanwhile, the robed man ran like he didn't care about anything.
Neither man nor commerce was smashed. All right, I'm a little worried now.
He jumped over a fruit stall, then pulled the table, making the fruit fall.
It was easy for me to get through the gap with my small body. In addition, the [Sharp Eyesight] skill is also very helpful for me to estimate the exact distance for me to take.
"He's still chasing, huh? Hmh! In this case, there is no other way!" I heard the bastard slightly clicked, and seemed to be planning something.
Whatever he was planning, I 100% managed to catch up to him, except there was one, not 2 people bothering me.
"Revelation! There's a kid kidnapper! Take all your children to cover!" someone screamed, making me a little distracted.
Whahuh? So, has anyone seen him? I was relieved when a fruit merchant shouted out loudly.
"What kidnapper?!"
"Where? Where?!" people started screaming.
"Run!! Secure your children!" instantly, the situation began to be noisy because of the shouting of the fruit trader.
And I realized that the goal was not to help me, but to hinder me!
In other words, he was one of the conspirators of that cloaked person!
Meanwhile, the cloaked man ran over, entering into a fairly quiet alley.
"They are really sneaky! I draw my word. I will search their headquarters, and destroy it at once! I'll remember this!" I really can't think straight now.
I turned for a moment to the fruit merchant who was talking to someone in a watchman uniform, then I saw him pointing at me.
"Damn! That must be security!" I need to refocus on my pursuit.
I won't let anything, or anyone stop me!
