My Reconstruction Talent is too OP!!!
Chapter 17: Mana Oath

Chapter 17: Mana Oath

"After clearing the hidden class trial, I received not only the Runic Alchemist class but also a Class Reward Box."

"When I opened it, I obtained three alchemy blueprints."

"The first was the blueprint for a Rare-grade Slave Contract."

"The second was a Mana Overdrive Potion."

"And the third was an Elemental Bomb blueprint."

Kaiser nodded thoughtfully.

She’s far more valuable than I initially realized.

Elemental Bombs were extremely expensive consumables capable of dealing devastating elemental damage.

Even a single one could sell for a fortune.

Looks like recruiting her wasn’t a bad decision after all.

Soon, the two arrived near the boss arena.

Kaiser looked ahead and sighed.

A long line of players had already formed outside the entrance.

Everyone was waiting for their turn to challenge the dungeon boss.

"I guess I’m not getting a chance to fight the boss today."

There was no point wasting hours standing in line.

His objective had already been completed.

He had reached Level 10, exactly as he had planned.

"Let’s head to the Black Bone Graveyard instead."

He glanced at the time.

It was only a little after noon.

There was still plenty of time to reach the dungeon, clear the hidden trial, and perhaps even obtain a hidden class.

After all, the earlier one acquired a class, the greater the long-term benefits.

"Kai!"

Kaiser paused as he heard a familiar voice calling out to him.

Turning around, he saw Alex approaching with Lana and Mary.

"It looks like you were also heading back after seeing the line," Alex said, glancing at the long queue outside the boss arena.

Kaiser nodded.

"Yeah. There’s no point wasting time waiting."

Alex was about to reply when his eyes suddenly landed on Marina, who was quietly standing behind Kaiser.

His expression immediately darkened.

"Why is she here?"

"A few things happened," Kaiser replied with a shrug. "I recruited her."

Through their master-slave connection, Kaiser silently ordered Marina to act naturally.

"I know it was my mistake to underestimate him," Marina said with her head lowered. "I’m trying to make up for it."

Alex frowned.

What’s she planning?

Is she trying to use Kaiser to get a recommendation into my guild?

"How did the two of you even meet?" Alex asked.

Lana and Mary also looked curiously at Marina.

This bitch is smarter than I thought, Mary inwardly sneered.

Using Kaiser to get close to Alex... not a bad move.

Honestly... I would’ve done the same, Lana admitted to herself.

Kaiser answered calmly.

"We had a duel."

"The loser had to serve the winner for five years."

Alex’s eyes widened in surprise.

He knew exactly how troublesome Marina’s abilities were.

Even he would have to be cautious against her poison.

Yet Kaiser, who had only awakened a utility talent and contracted with a mere Rank 2 beast, had somehow defeated her.

"How did you beat her?" Alex asked in disbelief.

"My Light Gnome is a King Variant."

Kaiser shrugged casually.

"Her poison couldn’t affect me."

Alex immediately understood.

A King Variant possessed abilities far beyond ordinary monsters.

"Congratulations."

"It looks like you got really lucky with your beast."

Kaiser simply smiled and nodded.

"Anyway, now that you’re here..."

"I learned something interesting from Marina."

Alex raised an eyebrow.

"What is it?"

"It’s about obtaining a class."

The moment those words left Kaiser’s mouth...

Alex, Lana, and Mary all froze.

"What?"

"You found a class quest?"

Alex’s breathing quickened.

"I was actually planning to call Alicia as well so we could all clear it together."

Kaiser nodded.

"That works."

Alex then turned toward Lana and Mary.

His expression became unusually serious.

"Before we continue, both of you must swear a Mana Oath."

"You are never allowed to reveal anything about what you’re about to hear."

Kaiser smiled inwardly.

Just as expected.

That was exactly what he would have done.

"How strong are they?" Kaiser asked.

"They both have A-Rank Talents," Alex replied.

Kaiser nodded thoughtfully.

"In that case..."

"We can let them obtain the hidden class as well."

He looked directly at the two girls.

"But in exchange..."

"They’ll have to swear lifelong loyalty to you."

His voice was completely emotionless.

He had no intention of showing mercy.

In his eyes, the two girls were only following Alex because of his family’s influence and future potential.

If they wanted benefits, they had to pay an equal price.

Hearing those words, Lana and Mary’s expressions immediately soured.

Alex fell silent for a moment before nodding.

"You’re right."

He looked at both girls.

"I won’t force either of you."

"You have two choices."

"The first is to swear a Mana Oath promising never to reveal this secret, after which we’ll part ways."

"The second..."

"You swear lifelong loyalty to me."

"In return, I’ll help you obtain a class far earlier than anyone else."

"You both know how valuable that opportunity is."

Lana and Mary exchanged glances.

Neither of them hesitated for long.

"We accept."

"We’ll serve you."

They immediately swore the Mana Oath.

A Mana Oath was one of the strongest magical contracts in existence.

Once accepted, it bound the soul itself.

Breaking the oath meant instant death.

Because of that, it was widely used to protect important secrets or secure absolute loyalty.

Unlike a Slave Contract, however, a Mana Oath did not erase a person’s free will or alter their personality.

It simply forced them to honor the promises they had willingly made.

"You made her swear a Mana Oath as well, didn’t you?" Alex asked, glancing at Marina.

Kaiser nodded calmly.

Outwardly, his expression remained unchanged.

Yeah...

I can simply make her swear a Mana Oath as well.

That way, even if someone somehow manages to break the Slave Contract in the future, she still won’t be able to betray me.

He made a mental note to have Marina swear the oath later.

"By the way," Alex said with a mischievous grin, "I’ve never done that to her."

He leaned closer to Kaiser.

"And... she’s hot and sexy."
