Rufus watched Asta's stat window intently. He had not yet noticed that his mouth was hanging open. All the realities he had known since he was a child had shattered in an instant.
Initially, he was very skeptical about what Korra was saying. I mean who would believe something soo bizarre. Even still, he had decided to entertain Korra's stupidity. Only to find out that everything she had said was actually true.
Asta's exp was initially 14/20, but after 30 minutes of what Korra called 'cultivation', it had increased by two points. It became 16/20. An increase by two points in 30 minutes might seem trivial, but in fact it was a huge accomplishment. So much so that there would be wars all over the planes and continents just to acquire this technique.
This alone was enough to convince Rufus to serve Korra for the rest of eternity.
"Shut your mouth. It's disgusting to see that." Korra said with disgust.
Rufus came back to his senses and closed his mouth.
"I am sorry Lady Korra... It's just that... That... This is simply heaven defying! I have never seen or head of anything as miraculous as this... I don't even know what to say!"
Korra corked a brow. She was exhibiting a cocky demeanor.
"This is enough to get you speechless. Pathetic. We have not even scratched the surface of what I can give you" Korra's eyes glittered with mischief.
"WHAT?!" Rufus blurted out. He almost puked blood. What the f**k did she mean by that? That this was nothing? What else could she have that is more heaven defying than this? This was simply absurd!
"I see you don't believe me, huh. Look at Asta's skills. Have you ever seen a child have that many skills before?"
Rufus turned to look. Since he was focused on Asta's exp, he had not even tried to look at her other information. I mean who would? Everyone knew that skills are obtained only from level 10... Of course there were basic magic spells that the population could cast, but those were not considered skills.
There were only 0.04% of children in the whole continent who obtained skills this young. But Rufus was about to be shocked again. When he saw Asta's skills, he almost collapsed from shock.

Skills: Mana absorption (S): Due to an unknown training you underwent, this skill was created. You are able to recover Mana much faster than normal people. 3% increase in efficiency when doing anything that absorbs mana.
Blood Curl (C): The ability to manipulate the veins and blood flow of living beings. It also grants the user the ability to control the mana circuits of inanimate objects. Am inferior version of the original. Has less chance of being effective as the original. Cost Mana points.
Swift Feet (A): A footwork technique. Increases speed drastically. Adds approximately 15 agility points to stats. Also makes the user unpredictable. Consumes stamina.
Iron Fist (C): This is a very powerful technique. It morphs the knuckles of the user's fist to be as strong as iron. Costs large amounts of mana.
Rufus stared at the skills that displayed on Asta's status window. He rubbed his eyes a few times. He even pinched himself to make sure he was conscious. What the f**k was this? This was bullshit!
Forget the fact that the skills were many, the skill combination itself should not be possible. Not even heroes should be able to do this! A footwork technique? Was it not a technique exclusive for the knight, ranger and swordsman class? Iron fist seemed like a berserker skill... And mana absorption? AN S RANK SKILL?
He did not believe his eyes. Maybe it was the effect of Korra gauging out his other eye. Maybe his vision was destroyed.
Korra smirked as she saw the spark in Rufus' eyes.
'He is mine now. Should I have used the puppet technique? Hmm... I think this is okay, I am not sure my body will be able to use a skill that strong. That doesn't mean I can't e*****e him!'
"So? Let's get down to business" Korra said.
"......" Rufus opened his mouth to answer, but nothing came out. He was still shocked down to his core.
"Hah" Korra snorted. "Are you that shocked?"
"Eerrmm- Ah! Eh! Sorry... What did you say?" Rufus stammered.
"So? What do you think? Are you willing to serve me?"
Rufus eyes darkened. He immediately bowed down deeply on the ground and shouted.
"YES LADY KORRA! FROM NOW ON I DEDICATE MY LIFE TO YOU! I WILL FOREVER SERVE YOU!"
Korra nodded.
'Hah! It's not like you had a choice anyway. There is no way you could have refused. Even if you did, I would have used the puppet technique'
Korra turned to Asta.
"Stand by. I am about to teach him how to cultivate"
Asta nodded and moved back.
Korra looked down at Rufus who was on the ground.
"Do exactly what I do"
With that, Korra sat down and crossed her leg in the lotus position.
"Now, take of your shirt"
"Yes Lady Korra!" Rufus immediately replied.
He took of his shirt and also sat in the lotus position. Korra picked out one of the numerous cultivation techniques she had in her head. Of course she had not forgotten to modify it and implant the s*****y pact in it.
She begun to mutter the mantra for the Plum Blossom Flower Qi. It was a powerful technique that belonged to one of the sects that Korra destroyed in her previous life. It was a pseudo-legendary technique.
Anyone who cultivated this technique had their qi converted into a different form of qi. Their qi will become like a plum bossom tree. Soft but destruction, light but heavy. Their very essence became like the wind. However, Korra expected it to have a different effect. After all, this was another world!
