Disclaimer: I don't own Noblesse, Son Je-Ho does. If I did then I would make Raizel just a little less likely to end up dieing.
A special thanks to Cold April for reviewing. Though I may want to warn you that I intend to only make Raizel weak while he's healing from the injuries he got as an experiment. After that I intend to try to slowly increase his power to above what it was in the Manwha. Though I hope this doesn't change your opinion of my fanfic.
"Strange...Very strange. It appears that the organization replaced certain parts of your heart with that of a werewolf." Raizel simply nodded from his position on the couch. He had already known that much.
"What will its effects be?" Frankenstein clicked a few more buttons on the device before answering. "The main problem is that you won't be able to be a pure-blood Noble, and of course the Union. Positive being that you will no longer use up your life force when you draw on your power. Instead you will be using the same reserves that a werewolf uses. Just expanded to hold in your energy."
Raizel sipped his coffee as he contemplated this new predicament. He new that his power was stronger than it had ever been before, but Frankenstein was right. The nobles would be much more weary of him now that he wasn't even a noble. That wasn't even mentioning the Union and their interests in him. They had gone so far as to capture him a first time,Who knows what they'd do to get him now.
That wasn't the most pressing problem though. This problem was both more serious and less about precarious matters. "Frankenstein. When I was at that school one of the humans gave me some food." Frankenstein started when he realized that he hadn't given him a lunch.
"They called it ramen." Now Frankenstein looked horribly ashamed that he had left him to such a fate. Witch didn't make any since. Ramen was delicious.
"I would like some more." Frankenstein almost face planted before taking a moment to regain his composure. "...Yes master. I'll um, go get the ingredients right now."
At that Raizel perked up hopefully. "You can make ramen?" Frankenstein sweat-dropped before hurriedly excusing himself to go get ingredients.
Did that mean he could or not?
While waiting for Frankenstein to return Raizel looked through a bookshelf. Latest Inventions, Governments Compared, gaming...Wait, what does that mean? Pulling out the small blue book, Raizel flipped to the middle of the book. Scanning through it, Raizel quickly found himself horrified. What type of game was this! If you lost you were mercilessly killed. How horrible.
Suddenly Raizel frowned. Just thinking about the killing toll this would have probably had on humanity so far made him want to destroy every 'computer'. Whatever that was.
"I'm back. Just give me one moment to get the noodles cooking…"
Before Frankenstein could finish his sentence, Raizel urgently called him over.
"Yes my lord?" Raizel looked at him with an angry expression. "How do I destroy all the things known as 'computers'?"
Frankenstein just looked confused. "Why would you want to destroy all computers?"
Raizel's expression showed absolute shock. "Why would you want those killing machines to exist?!"
That was when Frankenstein noticed the little blue book lying innocently in Raizel's lap. His face suddenly sparked with understanding as he turned to face Raizel."When someone dies in the game they are unharmed off the computer. It's like faking a death. Nothing truly happens to the one who dies in the game."
Raizel blinked once, then twice. Expression showing that he was trying to comprehend such a thing happening. Which he probably couldn't because he'd never truly been introduced to the amazing thing called a computer.
After they had Ramen, both headed back down to the lab so Frankenstein could introduce Raizel to his first 'd stayed there for about an hour learning about computers before Frankenstein sent Raizel to bed so he could be ready in the morning. Raizel knew that he really just wanted to end the hours of repeatedly explaining the different keys. Plus he had financial work to do. Well this was more important than that.
"Frankenstein." Turning to face him, Frankenstein asked what was wrong.
"I want you to sleep with me."
He could sleep alone if he wanted to, but that wasn't the case. The memories of being a scared lab experiment were much fresher then his past ones- at least the last day- and he simply didn't want to be alone.
Frankenstein was motionless for a moment before accepting. Leading him to his bedroom. Taking measured steps as if he was aggravated. Curious, Raizel connected with his mind. Oh. Frankenstein was attracted to him. Well that was weird...Maybe asking him to sleep with him had been a bad idea.
As Raizel slipped into bed with his contractor, he mentally took back the idea of this being a bad didn't feel any romantic attraction between him and Frankenstein, but he did like the company.
Slowly drifting off, he idly decided that he wanted to sleep next to Frankenstein like every night. Because no night before this had been quite so comfortable and warm. Or had the sound of soft breathing that without fail, lulled him into a deep dreamless sleep.
Waking up to the feeling of the bed shifting, Raizel elegantly got up. Or at least he attempted to. Instead he found himself toppling to the ground because his legs wouldn't hold him. he had forgotten how different he was physically compared to how he was energy wise.
There was a big difference.
"Master! are you alright?!"
Scrambling back to his feat as swiftly as he could, Raizel nodded stiffly. He really was OK. It just bruised his pride to realize how little he had actually improved since Frankenstein had rescued him. Frankenstein seemed relieved as he led him to the dressing room that had been prepared for him. Consisting of multiple duplicates of one outfit. Not perfect duplicates though, some had a certain texture or subtle tint he had to choose from.
"I'll go prepare breakfast my lord. Fresh eggs with bacon and tea on the side. Would you be fine with that?" No, that was not fine. He appreciated Frankenstein's consideration of his current health, but he wanted ramen.
"I want ramen on the side." Frankenstein's only reaction was a mental flicker of worry over the effects ramen would have on his health. That wasn't acceptable.
"I will be fine. There is no need to worry for me."
Even though that didn't reassure Frankenstein, he got to work on making the breakfast. Leaving Raizel to figure out which outfit he would wear today. Raizel envied Frankenstein for getting the easier task, Picking out clothes was so hard…
A little more than twenty minutes later they sat at the table. Raizel dressed for the day and both delicately eating their rather large breakfast.
"How do you like the school?" Frankenstein asked in a casual voice that carefully hid his true emotions. Like really, why did Frankenstein want to hide the fact that he had made the school for him? It wasn't like he had told him not to do so. He understood that Frankenstein cared for him, but he wouldn't think any less of Frankenstein if he revealed why he had built the school. Maybe that was it. Maybe Frankenstein didn't want to be acknowledged for his caring and thoughtfulness. He just cared that much.
"It is a suitable place for me to recover." Frankenstein seemed to understand what he meant if the satisfaction coming off him was any indication. "That's good. How are the kids there?"
Raizel thought of an answer as he chewed on some egg. The kids there were nice in a friendly sort of way. Much better then the faked smiles he got from most that knew he was the noblesse. "The are fine."
Frankenstein radiated his happiness as he did the dishes and they went to the school. Glad that he found his school to his liking.
Mid-way through class Raizel stopped simply absorbing all there was to see outside the window and focused in on a single spot. Two advanced humans had just pulled into the parking lot.
There was a dark haired women who had a knee length ponytail, and a determined expression on her face. To her right was a man with grey hair and a short black beard Whose expression was much more collected and serious. Sangeen and Na Yonsu according to their thoughts.
After sending a warning to Frankenstein, Raizel turned back to the lecture on how some letters that were supposedly numbers could be made into numbers. It may have been interesting to watch but it certainly made no sense.
