Chapter 592 - Contractor (9)

"Listen Rika. We found some leniency in this agreement and we're letting you know about them because we trust you. You cannot ever treat your fairy like a servant," Logan faced me.

"I wouldn't treat Micah like a slave," I nodded my head.

A slave was different from a servant. Servants got paid while slaves worked for free. If the arrangements were favourable on my end, I planned to take advantage of them. Since Micah seemed to be capable, he could do my schoolwork for me. He also had a lot of mana, meaning that he could spell the teachers to make the classes shorter. Maybe signing an agreement with him wasn't that bad.

"He will be forced to come to you whenever you summon him for no payment. Since you are not contractors, you're not obligated to share mana with him. He has to get your agreement and you can ask for anything and choose the amount to give. He can exchange currencies for you for no commission. It's his duty to keep you safe, which is why he asked for those documents. He has the obligation to guide you through dimensions and can open portals for you for free," Logan summarized.

"How is it favourable on my end?" I wondered.

"You can make him do anything for you with bȧrėly any payment if the negotiations later today go well," he explained.

"I won't ever treat Micah as a slave!" My eyes twinkled.

The reversal ended yesterday, meaning Micah was visiting today to finish the loose ends of the agreement. Although I was confined to the mansion, it wasn't different from school. The family tutors came to take their place, stuck in a time-space study room with Luke and Alex. We waited inside Elliot's office, sitting on the couch. However, I didn't expect everyone to join us, wanting to be a part of the negotiation.

Micah exactly arrived at the arranged time, opening a portal near the entrance of the office. He was dressed differently, formally in a suit and holding two briefcases with him. As soon as he sat down at his indicated seat, he opened his bags, pulling out many documents with him. Logan led the discussion, gesturing, "shall we begin?"

"From going through the documents, this girl has gotten kidnapped more than three times, a target for all the criminals, problems with stalkers and friendly with monsters," Micah sighed.

"It is not easy to keep her safe," Logan slightly nodded his head

"Her health is disastrous. She's always seconds away from dying," Micah slapped the documents on the table.

"Unfortunately, my granddaughter is very weak and vulnerable. This is why we hope to establish the payment to be related to the status to her health," Logan began to negotiate.

"I don't want a dead girl. I won't ask for any payment when it comes to her health and safety," Micah agreed.

"We also ask you to make sure she doesn't get too reckless. If you refer to this file, you should know her usual reactions to dangerous situations," Logan gestured.

"I can try to prevent her from exhausting her body for no payment. I'll try to accept her requests to make sure she doesn't try to dangerously consume her mana," Micah knew what he was implying.

"Is this all?" He wrote down their demands.

"This is all on our side," Logan adjusted the sentences on the agreement.

"We can have monthly meetings together. This is a way for guardians to monitor the agreement," Micah suggested.

"Rika is visiting me once a month. This is when we can have our meetings," Logan arranged a time.

"I apologize for interrupting, but may you provide us with the connections to use your currencies?" Alex's grandfather came for this purpose.

"If Rika visits you, it's also a possibility for me to make the arrangements for a suitable price," Micah began to finalize his documents.

"Rika is visiting all of us once a month," Alex's grandfather was satisfied.

"What if I don't want to visit anymore? I can ask Micah to teach me those spells," I wondered.

"The way that fairies and humans use their mana is different," Logan dismissed that concern.

"I can teach her some spells. Her constitution is very similar to ours when it comes to mana, but the lack of control is a concern," Micah noticed in my dream.

"Those rings are a seal to prevent mana from leaking, aren't they?" He pointed out.

My eyes widened, looking down on the multiple rings on my fingers. I never knew they were dulling my mana, hearing that they were placed to help control my mana. I was forced to wear them ever since I was young, thinking they were annoying. However, the stores never mentioned anything about this feature, boasting about the jewels and designs instead. And some of the rings were new, the ones that Alex had bought around a month ago.

"Most of the accessories are used to redirect her mana to help with her health," he added.

"How can you tell?" I wondered.

"They were spelled that way from the boy beside you. This is impressive for his age," Micah praised Luke.

"The level of precision and control to get the exact results you're trying to achieve. I can teach you how to increase your potential.. There is a way to expand your mana capacity at your age," he turned to Luke.
