I became a skeleton but I have a questionable skill

CH: 11

The footsteps that are coming from the stairs sends chills down my spine and as it got closer and closer, a spiky and rocky haired child appeared before us.

“Are you lost, kid?” I asked and everyone laughed while I’m left confused.

The child looked at me with a menacing stare and the pressure that I felt became heavier. 

Zeph suddenly smack him at the back of his head and said, “s-stop that,” after hitting him she quickly flew behind Flamma’s back.”S-Sister Flamma said it”

The angry look in the kid’s eyes immediately became teary and obedient. “I’m not a kid anymore;” he whispered to himself 

“Oh, by the way, this kid Geo is our servant also our king,” said Flamma

I was shocked by the thought of a kid being a king but his presence is enough for him to qualify as one.” servant??? Wait, is he the Geo in your story?” I asked

“Yeah, we’re just busy with our own things that’s why we let him be the ruler;” said Diluvion 

I immediately replied; “You mean you’re all lazy.”

He smacks his lips and he walks towards me. He held my hand and rapidly changed the topic. “Thank you for freeing Vivien. I know that you are a sense with how you can learn a tier 4 fire magic ~HEAT~ and a tier 4 water magic ~WATER BREATHING~”

I was so confused by what he’s talking about and where he’s coming from but I can’t let them know who I really am so I answered; “yeah, you’re right. I am a sense.” 

“Then you can unite the people and be their leader.” - Diluvion

“HMM???” I panicked and thought to myself; “s**t. This is bad. REALLY BAD. I wanna lay low but what have I DONEEE?!!” I need to get out of here before they force me to be the leader. 

I put down Vivien to the side and said “let me think about it.” I stood up and went up the stairs. I reached the first floor and I immediately ran away from them but as I went through the front door, I was back at Diluvion’s room.

“What??? What happened?? I thought that I went through the front door.” I was so confused by what’s happening but right now, I’m stuck in this house and I can’t get out. 

I slowly went down to the lab and pretended that I didn't do what I just did but as I entered the room Vivien spoke to me.

“Why??”

I guess I was caught escaping and I immediately blurted out “ I wasn’t escaping. I was just looking around. ”

The look on their face was full of confusion and she said, “I wasn’t asking about that. I was asking if, why would you…”

“Ohhhh~, shit.” I guess it’s my fault this time.

“~Earth sphere~” Geo suddenly trapped me in his orb. I was surprised why he did this but then, he started screaming at them. “I bet he was planning on escaping to tell our location, you know we can’t let that happen; we can’t let them know where our location is, or else we’re all gonna die.”

I didn’t mean it that way but first, I need to get out of this and explain it to them. “~Heat~” The rocks that surround me, melt as if it was molten hot lava and as I get out of the sphere, they immediately look at me in shock.

The molten rocks that are flowing down created a hot environment in the laboratory but then, they suddenly started attacking me.

“~Hydro-spear~” the water in his lab gathered and formed a spear that can pierce me but with the heat that is being emitted right now, Its form can't sustain. 

“~Freezing wind~” the spear that Diluvion formed freezes because of Zeph’s magic.

“combination attack ~ICICLE JAVELIN~” Their attack quickly flies towards me and I don't have enough time to dodge. It pierces my armor and a direct shot to the heart… if I have one. With a strong impact that I received, I just couldn’t stand my ground and It sent me flying to the wall.

“Why did you kill him? If he really is an enemy, then we could’ve interrogated him for information” - Silva

That was so dangerous luckily it didn’t hit my bones. I grabbed the icicle in my chest and pulled it out. They didn’t have any idea that I was still alive. I quietly walked closer to them to talk it out. I understand where they’re coming from but I’m not trying to fight them, if I start a fight now, I would surely die. 

I stood behind them and said; “Hey. I’m not here to fight.” They were surprised to see me alive and standing. They immediately jump backwards and prepare to fight. 

Silva pointed his finger to me “~Vine hold~” The vines sprouted from the ground and grabbed my four limbs. Now I couldn’t even move.

“~Fireball~” miniature balls of fire started to form in Flamma’s hand and she threw them at me.

With nowhere to go, I just accepted her attack but as it was going to hit me, Vivien blocked it. Her hand started to deform and became a blade-like arm. She sliced her attacks as if it was nothing. “Can you guys stop, he’s not even fighting back. I’m really sorry, they’re just protecting this haven.” she cut the vine that was holding me. 

“Thanks for listening to me, I don’t plan on fighting all of you.” I have no choice but to accept what they want because if I don’t, they might attack me again and trap me in here. “I have a proposal for all of you. Sure… I will unite them. I will unify the sense but let me stay here for a moment.”

Geo replied with a different tone, his overwhelming aura came back to pressure me; “What is your reason for staying here.”

I planned to stay here and befriend them so I can acquire different skills and protect myself. I needed to lie and not tell them my plan but his aura is so overwhelming and heavy to bare so I said; “I want you to teach me the elemental magics so I can do what you want.” I’m not really lying neither is telling the truth.  I just want to live peacefully in this world and protect myself, and I can do that by obtaining the skills that can help me.

He walked towards me and looked at me straight in the eyes. Even though I don’t have one. “How long?”

“Give me two years.”

“I know that you’re already a 4th tier caster but that time is too short to advance to a 5th tier, it’s too reckless…” - Geo

“Two years… That’s all I need.”
