«You are the worst person in the world... Even worse, you are a person, at all! I warned you, don't you dare to kiss me. However, don't value your life at all. I will keep my promise. So, either you disappear from the mansion right now or very soon you too will suffer my fate, that is death.» – Her voice was full of ice and unwavering grim determination. She was ready for anything.

When she understood that her d.a.m.n tormentor said nothing but continued to look dispa.s.sionately at her, Juno bit her lip angrily, stood up from the bench and walked to the exit.

Juno's strong-willed character was growing on him. Once again he got convinced how easily he could hate some qualities in a person and admire the others. Most people have unambiguous thinking: a person is either bad or good. But it is very important to understand that the world is not black and white. It's diverse and multi-colored like a rainbow.

«Juno, don't rush to leave. I've decided to change the nature of our relations, so forget your hasty words. You are a very bad and c.r.a.ppy girl with mediocre talent, but you aren't lacking the unwavering will and desire to get stronger. That's why I decided to take you as an apprentice. If you behave yourself, obey me and don't cause trouble anymore, and also treat me like your master, I will let myself sometimes instruct you and clear your keys.»

At first, Juno looked at him like he was mentally ill but then she, throwing her head back with a laugh melodious like a myriad of silver bells scattering across the site. How much hatred and contempt, spite and malice sounded in her laughter. The girl screwed her face in disgust:

«You are mad. You are the most abnormal person in the world and you deserve to die. You don't need money or freedom... Oh please, my ears are numb with your dirty lies that just turn me inside out. Either get ready for your imminent death or simply disappear from my life and I will be sincerely grateful. My grat.i.tude is worth a lot, believe me.»

Kyon frowned displeased. He wanted so much to punch her arrogant brazen cute face a couple of times. He wanted it very very much... But he was rea.s.sured by the fact that the truth was on his side.

A mysterious smile appeared on his face.

«Hit that dummy with all your strength using pure energy, girl.»

Juno started to object:

«Oh please… Stop it… I'm still in pain…»

«I said hit the dummy or I'll hit you!» – Kyon shouted at her sternly.

The girl moaned from unbearable mental pain. She wanted to cry but there were no more tears. She wanted to return those bright days when she hadn't yet connected with her soul. It is better to envy her sister for eternity than to be a slave to this monster.

She went up to the dummy and crashed it with all her might. A rather solid doll noticeably bent aside from the powerful blow, but then it returned to its previous position.

«And now come to me, please.» – Kyon beckoned toward him with a finger.

The girl obeyed and approached him. There was no point in resisting and asking for it. But as she came up, she turned away from him squeamishly, not wanting to look at her despised master. The young lady's breathing was intermittent, her emotional state was depressed, her mood - she'd better die. She wanted to lie down on the ground and lose herself in a dreamless sleep.

Kyon put one finger under her blouse and the other across from her belly b.u.t.ton. He poured in Synergy there providing directions to clean the key by 10%. He did not really want to please the girl with such a gift, but the decision was made. He will leave his emotions to the future. It was more important to fit in with the little brat.

«I order you to move.»

Before he finished, the slave girl briskly stepped back, shot almost tangible fire from her eyes and silently went to the exit. {Please... Just don't say anything... I don't want to hear anything from you, please...}

«You could at least check what has changed, little fool. Go and hit the dummy again, and then, if you don't feel any changes, you can go to your chambers and think about how to kill yourself elegantly and painlessly.» – The guy said in a mocking voice.

The girl spun around. Her intense look said clearly that a little more and she would explode. She approached the dummy again and struck it with all her strength.

*bang*

The dummy bent much further this time.

Juno frowned at Kyon.

«Are you happy?! Crazy freak who do you think you are… you are…» – She slowly turned back to the dummy. Something was wrong... It seemed... It seemed her blow was much stronger than before?

«…» – she had no words.

Kyon was about to laugh out loud. How nice it was to watch the deceived expectations of the wretched girl. And the expression on her face was priceless.

Juno slowly clenched her fist and struck again... And again…

*bang* *bang* *bang*

With each next blow, the situation seemed more absurd. Her head was spinning while she continued to batter the dummy.

She hits dummies hundreds and hundreds of times every day. Of course, she knows her limit of power perfectly well. And now it's different... By about one fifth.

The purity of her key to pure energy had always been 49%.

Juno painfully pinched herself on the wrist, squealed but couldn't wake up. The reality did not change at all.

Punch-punch-punch... Her face expressed complete confusion, her eyebrows were about to crawl somewhere behind her head.

The girl clenched her fists, closed her eyes, whispered something three times, and looked at the dummy again. Then she punched it again.

«My lord, what's going on?! Mamma mia!» – the pleased lady squealed with the abundance of emotions. She was filled with joy at this strange upgrade. And a minute earlier, she was darker than a storm cloud.

Kyon couldn't help laughing and it attracted her attention.

The wary slave girl slowly turned around. Her big green eyes expressed fright and shock as if she saw a sneaking predator.

«Alright, you played it out very well! Haha very funny! Now tell me kindly what is the secret?»

«There are no secrets. I just cleaned your key of pure energy by 10%.»

«You're lying!!» – The girl interrupted him, her arms crossed stubbornly over her chest. – «I don't believe you for a second! You are deceiving me for some reason!»

Kyon shrugged indifferently.

«Maybe I am... Oh, by the way, I order you never to say anything about the purity of your keys. If someone finds out about the purity of your keys or about my ability to clean them because of your intentional actions, I order you to immediately kill yourself. I order to avoid inspections of the purity of your keys. If it happens against your will, I order to call me and wait for my instructions. And now I advise you to use the device for checking the purity. When you are convinced it's true, come to my chambers, kneel down and swear to obey everything that I have enumerated earlier. Then I will take you as my apprentice and from time to time I might purify your keys. Who knows, you might become the bender of all the elements. I doubt it, though.» - He had no intentions to make her so talented.

When she heard that, Juno nearly choked in amazement, leaning against the nearest wall.

«You are crazy, indeed. I just asked what kind of trick was that, and you're pulling my leg again! My ears hurt to hear your nonsense. If you don't want to tell the truth, then don't! I need it like a hole in my head.» – The arrogant girl turned up her nose to show how little she cared.

Kyon decided it was pointless to prove anything to her, he turned around and went to his room for dinner.

With a puzzled look, Juno watched her "master" go. Then she looked at her hand trembling with excitement, squeezed it into a fist and began to beat the dummy again. There could be no mistake... The gain was significant. Anybody who cared to look would see that!

{How… How is that even possible?!} – The bewildered girl asked herself again and again, beating the dummy with unprecedented joy mixed with confusion.

She heard there was medicine and special formations that enhance the soul only for the short term. But if she'd taken it somehow, she'd be immediately aware of it. The process usually results in the rebound, which only intensifies over time.

Juno came up with a shocking, simply incomprehensible thought that the "master" didn't lie! {No... It's bulls.h.i.+t! Nonsense! I'm losing my mind! That's impossible!}

The girl knew quite well how the world worked. The purity of keys was something bestowed at birth, a natural talent. Those who were born with impure keys belonged with mediocrity. If the keys are more or less pure, the chances are huge. Add to that a talent for development and you can conquer the whole empire. As a rule, there are no people with absolutely pure or impure keys. The more complex the element, the more impure the key. In her empire, the average indicator of purity is 250%, she has 300% but even with that, she lags behind Elsa.

The purity of the keys can be increased, but only by a gram, a drop, and this crumb costs a tremendous amount. The next cleaning with the same method won't be successful. You have to look for another.

If the Stone family give up all their property and resources, they could purify Juno's key by 2-3%. The cost of changing innate talent is immeasurable. The world is cruel to mediocrity. Only the G.o.ddess Danna can bless the worthy, clean their keys by a couple of dozens percent. Legends claim it happened. So, it turns out that he is a G.o.d? Slave G.o.d. It's ridiculous.

«Hhhha!» – Juno burst into hysterical laughter. She wanted to die not so long ago, but now she's completely changed. She did not understand what was happening. She delighted in her heart but her mind was confused.

There was again that harmful, meaningless, absurd thought that the slave was telling the truth. And again she to bang her head for being so stupid. It was impossible... It just couldn't be! The sky cannot change places with the earth!

Gradually, she convinced herself that she needed to refute the words of the slave in the way that he had mentioned earlier. The girl went to the storeroom where they kept the equipment. She took a rounded thing with a vacuum cup, put it to her belly b.u.t.ton and pressed.

The device started sending off ripples. Juno counted 59 of them. Her eyes almost popped out as she remembered perfectly well that the purity of her key was 49% of pure energy! She took another similar device and repeated the procedure. The result shocked her to the core. The device fell out of her hands and rolled under the shelf. The girl collapsed to the floor. Her whole world had just turned upside down.

{He… purified… did he…} – Her heart drummed frantically in her chest. She remembered that he mentioned he could make her the bender of all the elements. It sounded extremely ridiculous and funny back then. If he told the truth... Against her will, the girl was captured by wondrous fantasies, so impossible in the real world.

Juno imagined the energy, she longed for her entire life, fill her soul and body. She saw herself become a super genius, able to conquer all the distant lands. She dreamed that Elsa was creeping at her feet, asking how many cubes of sugar to put in her tea and then gets a kick in her face. Juno would say with contempt: "It's time for you to stop asking stupid questions! It's time to remember I take four!"

The beautiful face of the charming young lady blushed. Bliss splashed in her eyes. For the first time, her dreams were so real and close, within arm's reach, it seemed that she could touch them. She could feel wings growing on her back from the mere thought that she would be the bender of all the elements. From the very moment when she connected with her soul, she'd been haunted by the gloomy idea that she was a mediocrity, even when she persistently moved towards her goal. And then all of a sudden she found a way to overcome the biggest obstacle on the way to her dream.

She felt like something was in her eyes. She was overwhelmed with indescribable happiness. But the following thought, like an annoying buzzing fly, reminded the girl what the cleaning coming from the guy meant. Could sc.u.m like him have a divine ability? According to legend, only the G.o.ddess has it! It turns out that her own flawed slave, whom she would gladly kill, or rather torture to death, has the power to plunge an entire empire into chaos?! But their last battle, when he crushed her down with his fists, confirmed all her guesses! He could quite possibly be lord of pure energy! An unspeakable feeling of envy surged in the girl's arrogant mind. She is inferior to him... It turns out that her mediocrity doesn't matter, the point is that he is extremely talented! The only thought that calmed her down was that a person born in the slums, by no means could be higher than her.

Juno had finally come to an important decision. {My slave... He... He is no slave... Now he isn't a slave... From now on, he is my servant! Miserable, insignificant, flawed but he is my servant!}
