I was interested in Innate powers because i couldn't understand how they were working and what they use to work.
For example, my [Situational Intuition] is very strong. I can tell what is beneficial to me and what is harmful to me in different situations. But what it's uses? Clearly not mana, i didn't feel any decrease in my mana and how can do it? Is it a future prediction power that subconsciously alerts the mind, or a luck power that predicts lucky situations subconsciously and alert the mind?
'Though i couldn't understand why isn't it just called intuition and called Situational Intuition, is it just status lenses' translation problem?
Can i upgrade my innate power to higher ranks or evolve them.'
When i fully transform my body into mana body my eyes will be enchanted and my dormant eye power too considered innate power. So if i knew a method i can upgrade them to a higher rank.
That was my thoughts about innate powers for a while after that Anna came at night. I told anna to come at night because i don't want Lucy to see Anna and question her.
I made some space in the basement and led Anna to the room.
"Remove your clothes and lay down on the table." After i said that i pointed the table in the middle of the room.
"Kayle! We can't do it, you are just a child and we have only known each other for days, but if you insist i ca-" Anna blushed and started to spout bullshit.
"Shut up! I don't care about your body even a bit, just undress and lay down. Clothes will be only hindrance."
'*sigh, i am bored of the horny pedophiles that blushed at my sight'
Anna started to undress in a seductive way while I glanced at her figure to see my bodily reaction.
'Welp i can't feel lust too, what a pity.'
Anna saw that she couldn't get a reaction from me and undressed in a normal way after that lay down at the table.
"i will inspect you with my aura, don't fight back and just relax" i said and released my aura.
I learned aura manipulation with the help of the Yarin. After that, i learned to compress my aura into my body with the purpose of hiding. Why i am hiding? Because my aura is a peculiar one.
Anyway, i released my aura and the room got colder for a few degrees and Anna started to shiver because of the fear. With her constitution, her shivering from a cold these degrees would be laughable.
My aura's characteristics are coldness, emptiness and neutrality.
Coldness because of my affinity and curse while emptiness because of my lack of will to kill and will to live and neutrality because i am neutral to everything except for a few instances and didn't consider anything good or bad which made my karma perfect neutral.
Though calling neutral might be wrong, indifference is the correct word. I don't care about a random stranger's life and death or anyone's heroic or cowardly deeds.
Normally people don't scare of coldness, emptiness or neutrality.
So i assumed that when they are all together would make people feel cold and empty while neutrality made their body indifferent to these feelings but the mind who notices this abnormality is scared of the unknown feeling.
Well time to learn why she is scared of my aura.
"How are you feeling?" i asked.
"I am scared." she shouted.
"Why are you scared Anna?" i asked with a relaxed tone. I was interested in her answer, so i am making her relax to get her answer.
"I don't know. I am just too much scared that i want to escape." Well, she doesn't know too. Is it the famous fear of the unknown? It is possible, to be honest. If the body or mind doesn't know how to react to a situation, they would usually feel fear or shut down the mind for the time being, which means loss of consciousness.
"Shhh my dear, relax and take deep breaths. It is just aura i won't harm you." I kissed her forehead and kindly smiled. Which made her more relaxed.
'Beauty is the most ultimate power. I just smiled 'kindly' and kissed her forehead and she momentarily got over her fear of the unknown. What is this? Power of love or power of beauty.'
"Now that you are relaxed, we can start. Right?" i asked Anna and she nodded.
Searched her body with my aura. With my aura, i can calculate her body stats and classify them in a minute. But what i am searching for was innate power, not her body stats.
Her innate power is [Positive Thoughts], this means her innate power must be in her brain or around the brain. Though i may be wrong because positiveness can be connected to the heart.
I searched her brain with my aura for a while but couldn't find anything worthwhile. Afterwards, i searched around the brain and found something. It was a minuscule, tiny yellow sphere. Even i didn't know how i found it this easily.
I inspected the yellow sphere for a while to find something. But i only found out that, this yellow sphere is spreading a warm positive aura.
It was strange. Was this yellow sphere is her aura's core or her innate power? I don't even know a thing called aura core, i just made up to name this thing.
After that i placed my hand on her heart and searched her heart with my aura.
There was nothing i could find there.
'I made some progress, i just have to find a low rank person and search through their heart and brain, after that i can conclude where is the innate power's location.'
I looked over at Anna to see her condition.
She was mostly fine, just drenched in sweat.
"Get up, wear your clothes, get out of the house and come here 3 days later at night"
"Kayle, can i use your bathroom? I am drenched and if you want, you can join me."
I threw a towel to her and said:
"Get out!"
"You are too cold Kayle, just playing with my body and practically chasing me out of the house." Anna started to spout bullshit again.
I raised my hand. On my index finger, smooth black ring, i transformed into a dagger and hold it.
'[Positive Thoughts] is bullshit power. I slashed her back thoroughly and pressed my aura which made her scared shitless but her thoughts on me are only positive ones.
"Anna. Shut up! Or in the next experiment, i will cut you in pieces and if you don't come to the experiment, Goddes will shatter your soul. Do you understand?"
Anna nodded, quickly wore her clothes and ran away from the house.
'Well, time to pick up some material.'
After some thoughts about where to get disposable materials. I decided that getting the materials from slum gangs is an ideal choice.
I wore black clothes with a black mask and cast an illusion spell to hide my distinct features, which are my eyes and hair color.
I went to slums and spread my mana around me with diameters of about 1km.
I found some low rank humans, so i went to their place. Their place was small with no windows, so i couldn't peek at them. It seemed that i can't ambush them.
Anyway, there were only 5 people. One of them is 1st crystal, three of them are 2nd crystal and the last one is 3rd crystal. Well, it shouldn't be hard to capture some no name.
I strengthened my body with mana and broke up the door and rushed to the weakest one, because i didn't need that one.
After killing the weakest one with a slash to the throat, i stopped for a moment and looked at the remaining ones.
For the test, i needed minumum 1 male and 1 female low rank fighter.
Well lucky me, their leader was female and the rest of them were male. So i killed 2 of the 3 male with an ice spear and captured the rest with chains made of ice.
They were shocked and scared, so they started to trash around. I wouldn't care about their trashing normally, but female one could break my chains with a little bit of effort.
I pressured them with my aura.
"Stop trashing around or i will kill you." i said with a neutral tone.
In my voice, there was no emotion, as if i said was the fact.
Well, i will kill them nonetheless of their action. I don't want to sign a contract with invaluable pest, that would be more boring than staring at the ceiling for 10 hours.
I learned that when threatening someone, speaking with a neutral tone is more effective than threateningly.
And it's worked perfectly, they shut their mouth and didn't resist my chains. So i pulled them to my basement.
******
I changed my clothes to comfortable ones and stood in the freshly captured ones.
"Hello there brother and sister. I am working on an important experiment and you will help me with that. If you obediently listen to my orders, i won't kill you and give you some gold. Do you have any questions?" i decided to speak like a child for the time being, because i am bored and this seemed a fun idea.
"Because of you my brother died, you fucking brat!" male one shouted and rushed at me.
I pressured him with my aura and spoke sweetly.
"Brother if you don't back down now, i will have to send you to your brother's side."
The male thug backed away in fear.
I walked to the female thug and said:
"Sister can you crouch down for a bit, i can't reach you."
Being a child is hard when dealing with adults, my neck hurts because of the height differences.
The female one crouched to my eye level and stared at me blankly.
'Well, would you look at this woman. Someone that didn't blush at my sight. Maybe i won't kill her.'
I held her cheeks with my hands and stared into her eyes.
"I can tell that you are a smart woman sister. Right?"
"I don't know but one or two people said that" she said monotonously.
"You are smart women, so you will listen to my orders for a few hours and you will get a wish from me! Easy right?"
If only i bought some reinforced handcuffs, i wouldn't try hard for cooperation.
Well, my first job in the morning will be to buy some handcuffs.
Anyway, the female one nodded her head slowly.
I tied up the male one with an ice chain and looked at the female one.
"Sister, remove your clothes and lay down on the table." I said and pointed to the table.
Though i am saying table, it is just an old version operation table except this one lacks handcuffs.
She removed her clothes with little hesitation and lay down.
I walked to her side and looked at her.
She was staring at me with a blank look
I put my ear on her left side of her chest and listened to her heartbeat. It was fast and it was getting faster.
I looked into her eyes and spoke:
"Are you embarrassed, scared, excited or a little bit of everything?"
I didn't care about the reason for her increasing heartbeats. I was just playing around because i was bored.
"I am excited." she answered monotonously.
"If you are excited, we can start right? I will release my aura, so don't do anything rash and endure it." I said and released my aura.
After that, i searched the brain area. There was a transparent sphere that spread around an aura of monotonousness and honesty.
Afterwards, i searched her heart too, but i couldn't find anything.
"Thank you for your cooperation sister, clean yourself with the towel, wear your clothes back, sit down on the couch and wait for a bit."
She got up and did what i told her.
I dragged the male one to the table and cuffed him with ice cuffs.
After that, i tore his clothes and searched his brain area with my aura.
I found his 'aura core' too but it was a normal aura. Afterwards, i searched his heart, well i couldn't find anything again.
I named the spheres around the brain [Aura Core]. Though they might be not aura core i had to name it.
'It seems every person's aura core in their brain area and their position doesn't differ to both genders.'
With that, my little experiment ended this night.
Though i have to send these guests out.
"My work is done sister and you behaved yourself very well. So tell me your wish." i said to the female one.
Female one came in front of me and she got down on her knees.
"Please let me be your servant." she spoke monotonously but there was a little bit of determination in her voice.
'Every odd female comes to me one way or another. Is this my third innate power or am i a harem protagonist?
I found an old powerhouse cat-darkling randomly, after that some stalker/thief came to house and i found that she has Innate power that i wanted to research. After that, i dragged thugs to my house for research purposes. The female one was blunt and monotonous, quite rare personality traits to be honest and wants to be my servant.'
"Why?" I asked
"I can't tell." she answered.
Well, i could use a servant to be honest but firstly i have to see her status.

She has potential but what i need from a servant is their own life. They have to put their life on the line.
"You can be my servant easily. All you have to do is serve me with your life and sign a contract. Easy right?
First, you will obey my every order, protect me from dangers that i couldn't sense and most importantly don't do anything behind my back" i said with an innocent smile.
"I accept, but i want to add 1 condition to the contract." she answered pretty quickly.
"Say it."
"I want a request for every 10 years, it won't be anything big, just a small request."
'Interesting she only wants a request for her complete ownership.'
"If it's not anything drastic, it's okay. Write the conditions to paper while i am throwing the guest." i said and dragged the male thug outside of the house.
After 10 minutes, i came back to the house and did the contract ritual.
"Come back to this house in normal clothes in the afternoon, you will meet my sister.
And learn to be a maid, because you will be exclusive maid of Kayle Ceurie.
Don't look at me blankly and get going, i am going to sleep."
