Chapter 87: Face to face (1)
An hour later, almost at the moment, Klaus' ability would activate, Mr. Carter finished explaining.
"Do you have it?" he asked.
Klaus nodded. "Yes, it's not that difficult. The idea is to shape the Ring into specific shapes, depending on the type of specialization I want."
"That's right. You can use this to memorize the specific shapes and choose the one you want later when you've mastered the move, so it will make your Specialization come out more perfect."
"Right." Klaus took a small book he was bestowing on him, where the different 'forms' and their respective explanations were.
There are seven forms for the 7 Fields of Specialization. The most unique was the seventh form. It didn't have much science; it was the easiest to do, but at the same time, it was one of the most complicated because it required a complicated speed to achieve.
'The idea is to make a circle of energy and quickly make a triangle with the same energy as the circle. If the stroke left by the circle connects with the triangle before the stroke disappears, I will be able to complete it, and my Ring will possibly change shape, depending on the type of skill I have obtained. Got it.' Klaus smiled.
Naturally, he was curious about that seventh field. The magic field was also interesting. If he could do magic, he would surely thank himself because it was something that caught his attention from before.
But, the probability of the Seventh Field held his attention more, and he liked it more. That was why he had decided to give it a try. He had nothing to lose since he was also a Cursed Class.
After this, Klein looked at Jasmine. "Are you coming back with me?" he asked.
Jasmine nodded. "You go ahead; I'll catch up with you right away. Since I promised to teach Klaus, we need to plan the days we'll see each other."
Klein nodded and, without much thought, walked away.
When he was already a distance away, Jasmine spoke.
"Do you have a cell phone? I'll need you to send me your residence information; I'll see you every day I can. He taught you how to reach the Primary Level as a Soft Class; I will take it upon myself to help you and guide you to reach it as a Cursed Class. Although before that, I will need you to show me your cursed energy, we won't do it here. We'll do it at your house the next time I come to see you."
"Huh? You want to go every day?"
"Can't I?" She looked at him quizzically as a question mark was written in her head.
Klaus shook his head. "No, it's not that you can't. I just didn't expect it. Alright, then, I'll wait for you at my place. I'll show you some things there, so don't get excited thinking I'm a Cursed Class, too. There's a problem you'll realize when you see it." He said, and after exchanging information on this world's messaging system, the two parted ways.
To avoid suspicion, Jasmine caught up with her brother quickly.
"Do you really want to show him?" Klein asked as soon as he saw her arrive.
"What's wrong?" She looked at him as if asking, 'Can't I?'
He sighed. "Your way of acting is weird, you know? You've never wanted to teach anyone, and you always avoid socializing with anyone who isn't family. Everyone in our circle calls you Princess Indifferent because you always give little importance to everything. But here you are, wanting to teach someone who suddenly appeared and with whom you don't have a great relationship. That's weird."
Jasmine thought about it for a moment before shrugging. "I don't need to explain my ways to anyone, big brother. Even our father respects all my decisions, so I hope you won't get mad at me for not answering your doubts."
"You won't answer even if it makes me angry?"
"Do you think I care about your anger?" she looked at him sideways after saying this with a slight smile.
"Sigh." Klein sighed. "That's the indifference and arrogance I was hoping for this time. But it looks like I won't be seeing it."
"Forget it. What did you decide from what you told me earlier?" He diverted the conversation back to what was discussed several hours ago, and Jasmine nodded at him.
"Delay sending a report on him until I tell you."
"Why?"
"I want to buy him time."
"To a foreigner? Do you think the family will intervene with him and put him in jail or something? Why on earth would you want to buy him time? Jasmine, you're protecting a foreigner from your own family, you know?" Somehow, Klein was annoyed by her response.
But Jasmine was unaffected by this; she nodded.
"That's right, I'm protecting him. Is there a problem?" she asked, staring at him.
Klein looked at her for several seconds before sighing. "I won't support you unless you give me a valid reason."
Jasmine was forced to sigh. She didn't want to get in trouble with her brother, but she couldn't openly tell him what she knew about Klaus, as it would be too dangerous.
'I'm going too far for someone I don't know too well, but I don't think I'm wrong. I felt that strong attraction again today. His body must be as unique as mine. Then he's someone worthy to bet on. The problem is, if my family doesn't have him, another big family will. That would be worse.' Jasmine frowned.
It's not that she exclusively protects Klaus from her family. Knowing about Klaus at this time is not so convenient for her family. If there were spies, it is possible that a report from so far away would reach the ears of those foreigners, and then they wouldn't win, even if they didn't lose. But despite that being something she knew, the main motives for doing so were not those.
"Klein, he is capable. His talent is possibly on par with mine. It's not convenient for the family to meet him now. First, we are too far away, and second, it is possible that the family will force him to be a lab slave. That would be burying a very great talent. That's why I want to protect him for a while—at least until he matures and crosses the Second Bath."
Klein frowned. "If you are referring to the spy issue, you should know that before I left, the elders granted me a direct line of contact that my father would listen to. I don't think you need to worry about that." He replied.
Jasmine frowned slightly. 'A Direct Line... Tsk, it seems that when they sent him here, they sent him prepared for anything.' She sighed but remained firm in her stance.
"Just do as I say." She spoke.
But Klein sighed. "Little Sister, I can't protect a foreigner. If you think his presence benefits the family, we still have ways for him not to betray us without being a slave. You should know that there are many ways and people to tie him to in the clan."
"That..." Jasmine stared at him and then averted her gaze a little after hearing him say this.
Klein waited a few seconds to see if she would respond, but when he saw that she didn't, he spoke up.
"I know you have many ways to try to convince me, but if you're not using them, it's because you don't want to reveal some secret about that boy. Use your biggest card, or just don't object to the report." He replied and started walking again.
But just then, Jasmine spoke up.
"Do it for me." She said softly.

Klein stopped and turned to look at her. "For you? What have you got to do with it? Your request is... Wait." He frowned and turned to face her.
Jasmine then averted her face slightly.
"I think... I'm in love with him. But you must know the family's requirements for anyone who wants to court me."
