Chapter 20- The True Genius 1/2
Pola Pov
I was born with a weak body, so my parents didn't let me outside the castle without their permission. My father was a busy ruler he didn't have the time to spare for us. I have two brothers and one sister.
My two brothers supported our father in the war between human and demons, so only my sister stayed by my side. When I was 8, the male member of our family goes to the battlefield because of that my mother died. Due to illness and worries towards my brothers and father, she forgets to take care of herself. So her illness worsened to the point that the doctor couldn't do anything but shake their head.
Our servant regarded me as a useless daughter they didn't dare to show it in front me. But I knew their feelings when I saw those disgusting smile of theirs. I could see their contempt and disgust within their eyes because of that I grew mature at the young age. My sister is the only person who visits and cares for me for an entire year. When I was 9, a frightening news visited us, our father and brothers died in the war.
At that time, Onee-chan visited and comforted me, when she was hugging me I felt my shoulder became wet. I turned my head and saw Onee-chan crying when I saw her appearance my heart ache. Tears started to swell in my eyes.
"Even if I lose everything, as long I have you Onee-chan, I don't want anything." Onee-chan smiled at me.
"I swear I will not leave instead I will protect you. Don't worry about anything else, as long you have me, I will always be by your side."
I cried till the tears dried up, Onee-chan patted my back to comfort me. When a sudden drowsiness attacks me, I fell asleep in Onee-chan arms. Midnight, I woke up and saw a light flying in the sky. I saw the light descend at my room. A few seconds later, a woman figure appeared in front of me.

She doesn't have the appearance of a human I can only see a figure of a woman that made out of light.
She turned her head to stare at me.
"Girl, do you want a power?"
Startled, I didn't answer her question instead asked. "What are you?"
"Don't be frightened I am only a powerless soul who got lost in this place."
When I heard her, I got silent for a while and asked in a quivering tone.
"T.That power...What do you want in return?"
Satisfied, the woman nodded her head as she said. "Smart girl, I like you. I will give you that power, but."
I started to get nervous as I didn't know what she needed in return. She also thought. 'Is it my body.'
As if reading my thought, the woman said. "Ehe, don't be a nervous girl, I don't want your body. I only want you to find someone for me."
"Is that all?" I sigh with relief.
"Yes, that's all, his name was Braum in my world. I don't know what he called this time because he always reincarnated in many worlds, so I don't know his whereabouts."
"How can I find him, if you don't know who he is. Furthermore, how could I know if he was born here?"
"Don't rush girl, you can find him. I had this piece of soul, belonging to him. I know he was here as this thing took me here, the only clue I could give you is that the skill and cultivation technique." as I was listening, a thing suddenly flew by my side, I am caught by surprise as I held a blue bottle glowing with light.
"That thing will tell you if that person is nearby if that bottled reacted, open it and follow the thing inside."
"Why don't find him yourself?"

"I don't have that much time he gave me this piece of soul to guide me. But in the end, I only reach the level of Loose Soul, If you ever found him. Tell him that I didn't make it. I will regain nothing tell him that I love him and also forget about me."
"Come, I will give this cultivation and combat skill to you."
I approached her, when I was in front of her she touches my forehead, then felt a strange energy entered my body, a lot of information invaded my brain making me writhe in pain.
"Don't resist, that energy will rebuild your muscles, skin, and bones this will help you a lot."
I don't why, but when that energy entered my body, I lost control of my emotion. I stared at the woman in front of me.
"There are so many people in this world, why did you choose me?"
"You look exactly like me, a woman who has a weak body. A person who needed the power to protect her loved one. The one I loved gave me the power to fulfill my dream, the thing I am giving to you was the same thing he gave to me. If you found him, don't you dare to be disrespectful, call him master. I hope you understand."
She lectured me as if she was reminiscing someone's words her gaze was deep I could how much she loved that man. For this person, I swear to myself to find and respect him. A person who helps someone useless like us is someone worthy of my respect.
"I swear, I will find him."
"Fumu, if you ever develop a feeling for him I will be happy." The woman laughs.
"That's impossible, the only person I would love was my sister no one else," I shouted.
"Well, who knows what will happen, I also said the same thing when I was young, Fufu."
Laughing as if she knows everything, I decided to ignore and decided to observe my body. Some image of combat skill appeared in my consciousness, I clench my fist and restrain myself. This energy hurt like hell, I endured the everlasting pain for half an hour.
When the pain was gone, I look at my body and saw a black thing clinging to the clothes. "Fufu, how is it?"
"It's uncomfortable." The smell is making puke, what is this thing?
"Ehe, I also thought that on my first time, don't worry, that black thing is impurities. Congratulation, you entered the world of the cultivator."
I clench my fist this strength made feel invincible.
"You only entered to tempering stage, don't think highly of yourself. I don't want to see you get killed because of your new found strength so better remind you to cultivate first." I nodded.
"Hey, Will we meet again?"
The woman looks at me, you can't see her expression as her face made out of light, but I felt her smile. "Who knows what fate will bring us, before I bid my final farewell what is your name girl?" "Pola Gabriela, can I know yours?"
"Mingcheng Rin, contrary to your name you had a gentle personality, so then I bid you farewell. I hope we meet again, Pola."
I smile at her. "Farewell Rin, I also hope we meet again."
Looking at the empty sky filled with stars a new goal emerges inside my heart. "Rin, I will do anything to fulfill your wish."
