Hypnotized: My Second Life Mission
An Offer

“I know the school in liburkan and this is a great opportunity to visit family, don't you think?” renne asked a little to make the only child feel depressed.

Ayato leaned her head to the right and left to stretch her tense head. He smiles. “I want to visit mom, but I know you never need me. What else is busy mom, won't my homecoming be a waste of mom's time?”

Renne replied with a bitter smile. “You did drip your father.”

The Japanese American woman stood up from her seat and walked up to the wide-open window over there and looked at the lively and peaceful atmosphere of the city center.

“Ayato listen carefully. I want you to grow up strong like your father, scared and disinclined by everyone so that no one can disturb our family. But, I heard you've skipped 2 classes. What the hell are you thinking? Do you want to make your mom and dad shy?!”

Ayato immediately gasped in shock after hearing her mother's originally delicate words become firm and loud. It was very clear that his mother was holding back her emotions that suddenly soared that she did not want to look at her son and continued to back him.

Renne immediately moved to close the door of the room and lowered the glass window curtains in order not to be seen by people passing through the room.

He started telling stories. “When I was pregnant with you, everyone sneered at me because I was pregnant with you out of wedlock and your father got kicked out of the front-line combat team. Until you were born, their scorn of mom and dad changed.”

Your father could not get a regular job and just sell, even people were reluctant to visit our store and eventually he became a gossip, the respect of people towards your father was lost, too, and I am like that too.

I became a burden on the research team, I was considered always incompetent because my mind is not up to their minds, until some time ago I officially became the right hand of Mr. Hiro, who is also the right hand man,” said Renne while staring at his own photo on his official table wearing a unity blue shirt from the first team Mr Hiro.

“Mr Hiro is a busy person who comes to the laboratory every once in a while since I was accepted as a subordinate to the research team, my idea has always been useless to them, he said, until Mr. Hiro finally came back after 6 months, my idea that had been rejected turned out to be very valuable in the eyes of Mr. Hiro and that's when I got this rank, especially after the meeting and the results of my research were received then the name of your father was slowly improving because he was not unyielding.”

Renne finally drew closer to Ayato and whispered something. “You know why?” whispered, Ayato simply shook her head while bowing her gaze to the floor.

Renne smiled with satisfaction, what a submissive child. The child who just resigned and bowed politely without interrupting and continued to listen to his mother's story.

Renne again positioned herself facing the “ window as you know, it was hard to get recognition from many people, and we fought this hard when you were present in our lives. That means you, you've been the one who made us get the inappropriate scorn of a lot of people. It's all your fault, you have to be an obedient child, don't be shy again!” emphatically.

Half-heartedly Ayato replied. “Good ma'am, I understand.”

The woman approached and wiped her son's uniform. He realized that his son was so innocent and obedient, whereas he who thirsted for praise and recognition from the crowd had to use this advantage to the best of his ability.

He invites Ayato to approach a crystal as big as a pillow lying inside a transparent glass box. He rubbed the glass slowly then looked at Ayato's gaze which seemed to be attracted by the crystal.

“What's up? It's beautiful isn't it?”

Renne opened the glass slowly and it automatically began to reveal what Ayato had expected. Right, of course Ayato knew this crystal and would know what appeared there.

Clearly, Harina was there again. This was like the fourth time they had met but for Ayato alone. He felt relieved that his premonition was right and was also very happy to see him again after so many weeks, but the feeling of relief was covered by his flat face which also represented a feeling of anxiety and wonder why this crystal was in his mother's hands.

Although he remembered that Harina was brought by his mother's team the last time they met, but he still did not understand, what were their plans? Where is Harina? Why did his mother have the crystal? Why does Harina look like she can from that crystal? and what did her mother really do to Harina?

“You still remember this girl?” Renne paused for a bit then continued her words.

“She was the girl I showed you when she was in the test tube. And well, I'm sure you must remember the girl who made you enter the sword class. Right?”

Ayato nodded slowly. “Name Harina Aretha kan.”

Renne did not even think that her son even knew Harina's full name. “Yap, you're right. He is currently in training, and if he succeeds then according to the promise of lord Vasilio, Harina will be the successor to the lord island of Vasilio. Amazing isn't it?”

“Mother, what is really going on here? What are you planning?” ask Ayato curiously.

Renne flicked her finger immediately upon hearing the question of her son who looked very curious.

“Ayato I have enough demand to prosper our family. I want you to focus on running your classes and becoming a champion. Like the current lord Vasilio, he has a bodyguard who always follows him and I heard to be the bodyguard of the island ruler has a high salary and plus our family will be reluctant and get recognition, he said, that way we can stuff their rotten mouth with proof.”

Ayato let out a long breath. Indeed, he was also interested in the offer, especially he did want to get closer to the girl who had made him always curious. But making that deal is not easy. He is the type of person who will not promise anything if it is difficult to make it happen. He strongly dislikes breaking promises therefore Ayato firmly rejected the offer.

“No Ma'am, he should get a bodyguard older than me, more expert and experienced than me who is still learning this.” Refused reasons.

Renne instantly stopped the footsteps of Ayato who had walked towards the exit. “Nak listen to mom, if you can take this opportunity then after graduating from sword class where do you want to go? Tell mom whatever it is as long as it's not in front of the fighters, it's a bitter memory of your father son. We won't know how the people on the front line view our family. Don't go in, registering is hard. I'm sure they won't accept you,” sure.

Ayato had little pity for her mother, if only she had not grudges and thirst for rank then whatever they would be free regardless of the comments of others. He looked back at Harina there who was busy climbing the feathers of a giant lion followed by some terrible creatures below him who also wanted to catch up with him but was difficult.

“Bu, I will accept your offer if you answer my question.” One question he asked his mother.

“Harina is where?”

“She's in hell prison.”

Renne's reply made Ayato round her eyes in shock. “Calm down, it is an engineering dimension that I created so it won't have much effect on him when he returns to the real world.”

Ayato cleared her throat for a while then looked into her mother's eyes with her sharp gaze. “Alright I agree with your offer mom.”
