Mamon Youth Development Program

The days that followed were unexpectedly peaceful, and Stephanie finally learned to live with the pain amidst the constant battle.

Her growth rate is very fast, and because of these growths, every day when she falls asleep, her whole body is sore.

Although those wounds will always heal at a speed dozens of times that of ordinary people, it is not as fast as a human should have.

She was brought up to be beaten up every morning, and these people who belonged to Ambra seemed to regard the battle with her as a kind of game.They laughed and bet her every day, and Stephanie racked her brains for revenge for the blows they threw at her.

Until one day, Viper brought her a book whose name could tell that it was not a good book.

Since then, Stephanie has learned to do whatever she can and play with no lower limit.

At least the man who trained her the next day had a hard time.

At the same time, she did not let go of the research on the earrings, her own eyes, and abilities.

The numbers seen by the eyes are green below 50 and red above 50.Between two lovers, it is often the person with the higher numerical value who controls the sovereignty.

Isn't this just an attack tester?

Her ability is teleportation, as long as the eyes can see it, she can reach it instantly, even if she is in an invisible place, she can teleport as long as she leaves a mark.But the farther the distance, the greater the energy consumed.

Therefore, in the first few days of practicing teleportation, Viper could always pick up a half-dead Stephanie in front of the two of them's room, and then dragged her to the bed to rest. A few falls.

Viper stays with Ambra all day, learning illusion.

Umbrella is a well-deserved teacher of illusion, and she knows when and what class is best for Viper.

Sometimes she will take Viper out, and Viper may have some more wounds when he comes back.

The emotion of another soul in Stephanie's heart is always affecting her, and she is puzzled and distressed by the wound on Viper's body.Without Viper's abnormal healing ability like hers, all wounds need a long period of recuperation.

Once Stephanie couldn't bear it anymore, and opened the green page to buy her first trade item—Viper's wound medicine.

Regardless of the weird side effect of the "long hair", Stephanie handed it to Viper directly.Witnessing the same effect as those miraculous descriptions with their own eyes, the two looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally chose to confess.

The two confessed their abilities to each other, Viper's flight and eyes, Stephanie's earrings and teleportation.

In the eyes of Viper, red represents a person's current strength and maximum room for development, purple represents Viper's own likes and dislikes for this person or thing, and white represents the price of the person's current clothing and items. Or the market price of a thing.

Of course, there are special ones, like Stephanie's earrings are not included in her value.

Viper's flying is a good ability for this useless physicist. At least after discovering that flying consumes his mental power, Viper will only walk obediently on the ground when facing Umbrella.The rest of the time, he floats in the air, covered with a layer of illusion, and no one can detect it, and he rarely wrestles anymore.

Well...but it's better not to mention the dark history of swinging back and forth and bumping into a lot of things because of poor control at the beginning.

Such a confession narrowed the distance between the two of them, and it was more obvious that Stephanie's purple number finally increased again, reaching 600 in an instant.

Ambra once threw the two of them into the kitchen, and she seemed to hope that her future apprentice would have good craftsmanship.

Unfortunately, the two disappointed her.

No matter what kind of ingredients it is, in the hands of these two people, it will become a pile of waste that has to be mosaiced.Even if the recipe is followed carefully, every step is taught by the chef, and the wonderful evolution will be completed in the last moment of the process.

Ambra directly expressed her dissatisfaction with actions. She used illusion to smash the food, together with the plates and dining table.

The chef stood on the ruins of the kitchen and said in tears that if he sees two evil spirits around the kitchen in the future, he will die immediately.

Stephanie turned her head silently. In fact, her previous life skills were not bad. Could this be one of the supernatural powers of this body?

Viper was a little dissatisfied with the result of this incident. He himself seemed to think that his craftsmanship was really good, but it was a pity that he wanted to enter the kitchen several times but was stopped by the chef's kitchen knife on his neck and tears and snot all over his face.

The night before giving up, Viper learned a sentence from Stephanie, although the pronunciation would be strange when it came out of his mouth.

That sentence is - "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen."

In a blink of an eye, on July [-]nd of the following year, Stephanie and her brother spent the first birthday of Viper's life together.

The gift from Ambra was one of those out-of-print books in her collection, and the coaxing subordinates sent Viper a barbell that Viper could barely move with both hands.

Stephanie bets that what Viper said, clutching his toes after kicking the bar hard, was "a bunch of big-bodied, simple-minded fools."

She believed that those illusions that tricked people later must have been written by Viper.

Blowing out the candles, the siblings split the cake in two, both of whom love the sweet treats.

Stephanie suddenly asked Viper what wish he had made.

Looking at the pensive child in front of her, she was about to say with a smile, "Stop talking, it won't work if you express your wish." Then she heard Viper's voice.

After a year, the sound of Viper hasn't changed much, it's still the soft timbre.

He said, "Live."

【Live. 】

Looking at the desert in front of him, Ambra frowned and looked around.

After a long time, she squinted her eyes, a little doubt arose in her heart, and said, "Passed, Viper."

The desert dissipated in an instant, and Ambra still saw her room and her most outstanding disciple in front of her eyes.

When he grew up, Viper covered his body with a robe, only showing the lower half of his cheeks. Because of the long-term use of abilities, the purple inverted triangle has been permanently printed on his face.

"I can't find any flaws in your illusion." Ambra stared at the person in front of him with a smile on his lips. "Your progress really surprised me. There were some omissions in your illusion yesterday, but today it's like another real world. The direction of the wind, the temperature of the sun, and the feeling of every skin is perfect."

"I'm really curious about what happened to you yesterday, allowing you to complete your studies in one night that would have taken a year or two to complete." Ambra raised an eyebrow. "There are very few omissions in your illusion, and the next improvement can only be your own business."

"That's all I can teach you. You can go out by yourself in a few days. Your sister has also reached the standard. This yard, no, the ruined street can no longer lock you up."

"You can only rely on yourself outside, understand?"

Ambra, who gave these instructions, spoke in a flat tone, but there was imperceptible relief and seriousness in the depths of his eyes.

"I see, teacher." Viper said, his voice lost its soft childishness and became more pleasant.

Umbrella walked up to him and reinforced the illusion again with his hand on his head.

Viper's eyebrows hidden under the hood raised, showing a sneer. "You still don't give up your boring game."

Ambra has been solidifying the illusion in his hair over the years, and she's happy to maintain a hairstyle that Viper doesn't like.So much so that now that Viper's strength index has reached 5, he still can't break the illusion that Ambra has set up for several years.

"At least until you accept your hairstyle, I won't stop." Ambra smiled, eyes narrowed. "Viper, since you are leaving, let me do you a favor for my dear teacher at last. How about letting your siblings clean up the miscellaneous items in the east that are trying to disrupt the balance? Consider it the final examination for graduation."

"What's the pay?"

"...I remember that I am your teacher, why do you have to be so alien?"

"Just because you are my teacher, I will give you a discount."

Viper pushed away Ambra's hand, got up and opened the door. "At the previous price, don't tell me you want to default."

"Yes, I won't."

Walking outside, Viper heard Ambra's voice a second before closing the door.

Most of the woman's face was hidden in the shadows, looking at him with emerald green eyes, restraining her usual smile.

"The change in the strength of the two of you has something to do with what you did in private, right?"

"……Yes."

"...Don't worry, I have no intention of probing your secrets." Ambra showed a more ostentatious smile than before. "It's better to say that I like the behavior of you two keeping your hole cards in front of me!"

After closing the door, Viper sneered, turned and walked towards the courtyard.

Before he got close, he heard a man yelling: "Damn girl, if I didn't block you just now, you would really blind me."

"Didn't uncle keep his hand just now?" Stephanie landed on the railing in front of Viper, turned her head and smiled at him, the purple diamond shape on her left face was clearly visible in the sunlight. "That's right, my dear brother, if you want to bet, you have to admit defeat."

"Yes." Viper walked directly to the gambling table on the west side, and took the winning money from his illusioned dealer.

The man pointed at the two of them, and smiled helplessly: "Don't tell me that you two have been playing this way from the beginning."

The two nodded without hesitation, and the man was so angry that he picked up a stone and threw it at Stephanie, who was dodged by Stephanie.

"Uncle, this is not what a good man should do."

"Only you bastard girl is not qualified to say the word 'hero' to me!"

Stephanie didn't care either, she picked up Viper with one hand, and teleported directly to their room to divide the spoils.

While exchanging her share of money on the earrings, Stephanie asked, "What did the old witch tell you?"

"Finally help her with something, and I won't care about us in the future."

"That's good. I don't want to see the vegetable on her head anymore. I don't want to say that I like strange things, but I want you to be strange too." After the money was exchanged, Stephanie opened the white page to read the lines of text, and her heart rose again. a sense of satisfaction. "What does she want us to do?"

Viper told Stephanie what Ambra said, and continued to count the money one by one in his hand.

Stephanie opened the purple page casually.

[Stephanie: Physique: B Ability: A Physique: S Special Status: Curse; Attributes: Illusion Spell (100) Kitchen Killer (76) Insidious (72)]

[Viper: Illusion: A Ability: B Spirit: S Special State: Curse; Attributes: Physique Trash (100) Facial Paralysis (80) Kitchen Killer (83) Tsundere (42)]

Her eyes stayed on the word "curse", and she asked with a downcast face, "Yesterday, were you okay..."

"It's just a few nightmares, and I can handle it." Viper said in an extremely calm tone. "I finally understand what the phrase in my memory, 'Anyway, children who accept the curse can't live long, so it's better to just fend for themselves.'"

Viper's mental power is very strong, so he remembers more things than Stephanie, who is three years older than him.

The earliest memory is the coldness and two sentences in the winter.

And the words he said were spoken by a man, with a little nostalgia and regret, but also the ease of finally getting rid of something.

The curse on the two of them gave them great strength.

Stephanie will reorganize her body every April [-]th, strengthen her physique in severe pain, and stay at this age forever.

Viper dreams every [-]rd of July night, exercising his spirit in a cycle of ever-increasing nightmares.

It's easy to say, but only the two of them understand what kind of pain it is.

The curse will last until one of them dies.

It's just that if one party dies, the other party will not survive a year.

Since ancient times, people who accepted this curse mostly died of cannibalism.

However, the two thought: I will never kill him/her.

It is impossible for Stephanie not to accept Viper in the past so many years, not to mention that the emotion of the original owner has been affecting her, and Viper does not want to hurt Stephanie.

Because they want to live together and go to the future together.

Shaking her head to dispel the negative emotions in her heart, Stephanie began to pack her luggage.

After being trapped in the waste street for so many years, she can't wait to see the outside world.

What was Italy like in this era?

Viper looked at her, feeling a little excited in his heart. He, who had all his memories in the waste street, looked forward to going out more than Stephanie.

Anyway, for something as simple as this, the two of them will definitely do well.

It's just that the result of this mission is far from being as simple as the two imagined.

Not because any of those people exceeded their estimates, but because they met someone.

A person who is often mentioned by Ambra, but they have never met.

When he was far away from his destination, Viper could smell the subtle smell of blood in the air.

When they arrived at the scene, everything had already settled down.All the enemies were killed, and there was still fear in the eyes of those people.The smell of blood stimulated Viper's keen sense of smell, making him frown, and his heart was filled with dissatisfaction.

Of course he didn't show it clearly.

The person standing in the sea of ​​blood and corpses has a pair of dark blue eyes.The moment they saw that person, both of them knew who he was.The man's hair swaying gently with the wind is a strange hairstyle, resembling a fruit.

--pineapple.

Seeing the two, he put away his weapon and approached them step by step. A strong sense of oppression weighed on their hearts. Although he was as famous as Ambra, he was indeed much stronger than Ambra.

Stopping in front of the two of them, he stared at them, his eyes swept across Stephanie's body, and finally stayed on Viper's face, as if he wanted to see his eyes through the hood.

While the two were vigilant, the man spoke slowly.

"Now, let's call it Viper. Sorry, it hasn't been dealt with yet, the bloody smell is too strong."

Viper was startled, and the man had already continued talking.

"Stephanie hasn't changed much, but...Viper, this is the first time I've seen you like this."

He let out a strange laugh.

"Old friend, daquantotempo! (Long time no see!)"

Everyone knows that an illusionist is a profession with a strong mind but a weak physique.

Ambra can be called an "orthodox illusionist" because she doesn't know anything about physical skills, and she doesn't want to go out to bask in the sun even if she sees mold in the room while reading.

Of course, Viper said it was very good for him as a master who couldn't do any physical work.

The more she got to know Ambra, the more Stephanie could understand how... miraculous it had been for them to meet her in the first place.

"Do you think I can do such a barbaric thing as sweating in the sun?!" These were her exact words.

Stephanie felt that she, too, was sorted into the savage category, and was depressed for a while by it.Fortunately, she is a person who practices gymnastics, and those gloomy things vented out of her fists and feet within a few days.

Locked in the house all day, the illusionist's preferences are not distorted, so there must be ghosts!Thinking like this, Stephanie would force Viper out the door every once in a while.If it weren't for the fact that she was his sister, Stephanie would have been lost in Viper's illusion.

But there is one person who is different among illusionists.

Carlo, what an ordinary name, was often mentioned by Ambra and cursed in various vicious languages.

He is the only one who is proficient in illusion and also possesses powerful physical skills.

Abnormal, this is the most common evaluation of Carlo.

In Viper's view, the strength of [-] and the potential of [-] are indeed worthy of this evaluation.

The higher the strength, the harder it is to improve. Viper who just broke through [-] can feel the difficulty.One hundred after fifty thousand is even more difficult than one thousand before fifty thousand.Not to mention, even Ambra's maximum potential is only close to [-].
