My Gene System

Riku was saved from the guard's village's violent attack thanks to Arisu. His primary issue at this point was language, as he was still unable to converse with others in this world.

"That's exactly what I'd like you to do, elder Cynthia. We can't extract any information from him due to his linguistic barrier." Arisu continued in a solemn tone. "I know you can do it; after all, you wouldn't call yourself the village's finest wizard if you couldn't do it, right, elder Cynthia?"

The old man grinned, dressed in a gleaming dark violet robe. "Hahaha! Lady Arisu, you're still the same, and you know how to get me to accept your request in the proper way. But, since it's a minor duty, I'll handle it."

Arisu summoned Elder Cynthia to cast a spell that would quickly educate this man on how to communicate in the common language.

"Outsider! Don't act as if you're sleeping; get up!" Elder Cynthia spoke up in a hushed tone.

Riku could hear the elderly woman's remarks, but he couldn't comprehend them, so he hid under the white blanket.

'Hmm... True, he didn't know how to communicate in a common language.' Elder Cynthia muttered to herself as she yanked the blanket away from him.

She was taken aback and blinked her eyes in shock. She observed a man with scars all over his body, as well as skin burns, sword slashes, and severe stab wounds. Elder Cynthia could tell by looking at him that this man had been subjected to extreme violence by their guards.

"W-What happened to him?" She turned around to face Arisu. "Why did you allow your guards to do this, Lady Arisu? This isn't man-made; it's evil."

"Elder Cynthia, please accept my apologies; the report was just delivered to me today. They also said that they had been torturing this man for the past six days." Arisu explained to her, as she respected this elderly lady.

"Your father should know this, so he could decide what the punishment right he'll give to those guards did this." Elder Cynthia said, then walked closer to the man.

"I'll notify him after this, Elder Cynthia."

"."

"Stand forward, young man; you'll collaborate if you don't have a scheme for our beloved village." Riku could hear her smooth and soothing voice.

'What is this sensation?' Why is it that this elderly lady can instantly put me at ease?' While slowly observing Elder Cynthia, Arisu, and the distinguished guard, he wondered aloud.

Elder Cynthia motioned for Riku to remain still in his current position. Because she needed to focus before casting the learning spell.

For the first time, someone was able to understand him as he nodded his head at her. "Thanks, God! Finally, there's someone who would like me to understand."

Elder Cynthia recognized that this man agreed with her based on his actions. "Lady Arisu, despite the fact that this spell does not fully teach how to speak a common language, we can still have a discussion with him."

"That's fine," Arisu said, nodding her head. "It doesn't matter to me if he can understand and speak a few words."

There were a few moments after that. Elder Cynthia raised her wooden staff as she finished her preparations.

"Enchanting?"

Since the old woman was mumbling, the first thing that came to his mind was the "Enchanting". As her wooden staff commenced to gleam a violet light along with the magic circle next to her.

In the XR Online, his character could make a magic circle by spitting an incantation out of his mouth. Moreover, they were used as a container of energy and provide magical protection.

[Transfer]

'This isn't a magic spell at all. When I was acquiring the common language, I just transferred some of my thoughts through his head.' Elder Cynthia closed her eyes carefully so as not to lose her attention. Simultaneously, they did not cut the violet magical thread that linked them.

No one would like to talk even Arisu. As she well savvies that if they intercepted Elder Cynthia's concentration, her magic skill would knockback and also affect her mind. To be simple, there were a high chance Elder Cynthia's memories could delete or be shuffle.

10 minutes had easily passed, the old man and the man were still there positioned. It seemed this process took longer than Arisu expected.

"I believe the magical process would take time, Lady Arisu. Why should we go outside and breathe fresh air?" Murmured a man with brown hair, green eyes, and silver-plated armor with a crimson outline.

He shook his head gently. "This is not the time, Dary; if you need to get some air, you can do so on your own."

"I-I can accomplish that, lady Arisu; I wasn't sure if this man would assault you after I went outside of this room." Dary reacted with a respectful bow of his head.

"That's my point; what if we went outside and that man attacked Elder Cynthia? What will you do, Dary?" She asked him in hushed tones, so she didn't get Cynthia's attention.

"I apologize, lady Arisu; I never considered that."

Dary attempted to kneel to the ground in order to sincerely apologize for his stupid suggestion. However, Arisu intervened. "Just stay in your position; you don't have to kneel in front of me."

"Yes..."

30 more minutes had passed. She noticed Elder Cynthia was bathed in her sweat, as she lied when she said it was just a simple task.

Plok!

Huff... Huff... Huff...

And all of a sudden, Dary and Arisu heard the sound of a breaking thread. At the same time, the heavy panting of Elder Cynthia.

"Dary, help elder Cynthia."

Both of them walked closer to them, seeing the old man was really exhausted from casting the kind of spell.

"Hahaha! I-It's no doubt that I am already 92 years old woman. Before, I can transfer 50% of my thoughts, but now, I just transfer 9%." Even though Cynthia was having heavily breathing, she could still laugh.

"What do you mean by nine percent, Elder Cynthia? We can't still talk to him?" Arisu asked her, while gently assisting her to sit in the wooden chair.

"Of course not, you can talk to him when that woke up. Also, I make sure that I transfer the usual words we used in our village." Cynthia explained.

She sighed with relief."Thank you so much for your big help, Elder Caron." After she bowed her head, she took a glance at the man. "Did he passes out again?"

"I'm always glad to help you, Lady Arisu." Cynthia also bowed her head and answered Arisu's second question. "No, that man didn't pass out. But the thoughts I transferred to him are processed by his brain. So that means, we must not force him to wake up as we can destroy his mental state."

Arisu easily understood Cynthia. Yet, she noticed she had still not recovered from the exhaustion. "Dary, can you assist Elder Cynthia on her way home."

"Honestly, I'm already sleepy, can you help me, handsome man?" Elder Cynthia said while her eyes slowly closed.

Dary nodded his head at him. "Yes. But how about you, lady Arisu, you are sure that you want to stay here by yourself?" He asked her.

"Don't worry about me, Dary, this man doesn't reach the warrior level. There's no chance he could harm me." She said.

"Yeah, you're right, lady Arisu." They headed outside of the door. "I'll immediately come back here, after this."

"Thanks again, Elder Cynthia, take care yourself."

...

She waited for another 10 minutes before the man gradually opened up his black crystal eyes again.

[You've learned the common language. Progress 9%]

His gaming system appeared right in front of him.

"Common language?"

On the other hand, the woman was waiting for him to recover. Before she asked him multiple questions.

"I'm still in this place." He muttered and looked around. He saw the woman that was seriously looking at her so he moved back a bit.

"Hey, Outsider, tell me who are you?" Arisu asked him in a deep tone.

Eh?

I heard it right, isn't it?

The beautiful woman was asking my name?

He was confused as she clearly understand the words said by this woman. "The old man?" He glanced around as he realized that she was the main reason for this.

"Now, I know you can hear me. So what's your name?"

Even though Riku was having a hard time regaining his footing. He was still doing it. As he recognized this woman was the one who saved him from the guards.

"I'm Riku Hirota, thank you for saving my life!" He sincerely bowed his head.

Arisu smiled since finally, this man managed to communicate with her. At the same time, wondered as this man had a unique name.

"Riku Hirota what a strange name..." In her mind, if this man answer her next question she would have an idea why this man had that name. "Are you a spy? And where country do you come from?"

He narrowly lifted his head and said.. "I'm not a spy, also, I came from Japan."
