14. Experiment

After he was pardoned, Andy went to resume his butler duties. Although it appeared that he was performing the mundane tasks as butler, but inside his head he was brainstorming how he can use his skills to fight.

Right now if a strong person like Baron decides to kill him, there isn't much that he could do to stop him.

No doubt the most broken skill he had was [Essence Heal], using this he could simple disintegrate someone's brain to instantly kill him, or put him to sleep etc. This skill works on anyone regardless of target's level or stats, there isn't any warning in skill description that this won't work against stronger enemies. He even tried it on Baron last night to put him under "coma" and it worked flawlessly.

The only problem was, this skill requires him to be in physical contact with target to work.

When he levelled up and some skills got unlocked in shop, he was really hoping for a skill like stealth, but alas there was no stealth related skills under low-tier category.

Against female opponents, he might be able to use [Heavenly Presence] skill on them, then approach them once they let their guard down. But still this requires time and if opponent is hostile towards him, he won't get that chance.

After straining his 8 brain cells for a while, a grim expression came to his face.

'How come I never thought about it before?'

Sound barrier doesn't only allow him to hear the all the sounds within the barrier but also blocks the sound from going out of the barrier as well. It this principle applies to light barrier as well, wouldn't outside person see the barrier as if it was a freaking black hole?

In between his tasks he took a break and went to washroom to try out this theory. Of course there wasn't any mirror in his room, so he had to try it out here.

When Andy was standing in front of the mirror, he activated the light barrier, barely big enough just to cover his body. The barrier was in a humanoid shape just covering Andy's body.

"Holy sh*t, there is an ominous looking black hole man inside the bathroom"

He then remembered last night he created the light barrier to cover the entire Wright mansion, thinking about it he gulped his saliva.

"Thank god it was night time... Otherwise there would be a huge uproar in the entire town today"

'System, isn't this skill completely useless then?' asked Andy

[Few hours ago host mentioned that this skill is broken, now host is saying this skill is useless. Host is advised to make up his mind first...]

'Ughh don't make fun of me, answer properly! ... please? Is this skill useless?'

[Host is advised to spend some essence into INT stats... Anyway here is a hint, blocking everything from inside to outside is the default setting of barrier]

'Do you mean?' Andy got excited hearing this hint. He didn't mind the rude remark made by system, anyway we was planning on doing the same later once he have lot of essence piled up.

He then thought of allowing all light to leave barrier and voila, he could now see himself in the mirror. he then thought about letting all light rays coming from outside pass though the barrier as if nothing was present inside barrier and the result was invisible man.

'Hehehe, every perver- gentleman's dream!' Andy was over the moon as he thought about all the perv- research work that he could do using this skill before another thought came to his mind.

'Wait a minute, can't I use this for dealing with strong foes? Using barrier together with Essence Heal will literally make me the greatest assassin this world has ever seen!'

If system was a human, she would be shaking her head right now in disappointment. Using such a great skill for doing research work? That was the first use he thought for this skill? Is the host a legendary toad sage?

[Host is advised not to be reckless. Top warriors of this world can feel malicious intent and doesn't completely rely on their senses]

'Hmm, that is understandable. Thank you for the warning, this is really helpful'

He then left the bathroom with invisible man barrier still active and went to find an easy target to try out the effect. Once he reached kitchen he saw Jenny overlooking the preparation for lunch. No one seems to notice that he came to kitchen.

Wright mansion's kitchen was the cleanliest place on planet it seemed. One can't even find a grain of dirt in here.

Andy thought about testing few thing on Jenny but then he noticed another maid chopping some vegetables and an evil idea came to his mind. She was exactly the maid who set him up earlier.

He walked close to that maid within an arms reach, she was still continuing her work and didn't notice anything. He then extended his arm and touched her hand using his forefinger.

*Drip drip*

'Hmm? What is this sound.. and smell?' Jenny turned to look towards the maid whom Andy just now touched. After looking at the puddle underneath the maid's feet, Jenny's expression changed.

"Levi! What do you think you are doing?!"

Levi was completely stunned at this moment thinking 'How!? Why?! I am so doomed'.

"M-Miss Jenny, I don't know what happened, p-please have mercy"

Jenny looked at Levi for a few seconds then said in a dead tone without any emotions.

"Go back to your room and take a bath. After Lunch meet me in the meeting room. Don't be late"

Levi bit her lips and left. She was done for she thought. Only one who could possibly save her now was Frank.

'Hehehe serves you right!' thought Andy.

Every worker in kitchen was standing by waiting for Jenny's further orders. They never faced such a situation ever in the history. After thinking about a minute Jenny said.

"Threw out all the ingredients present in the kitchen and deep clean this place. Then re-start preparation for lunch"

"T-This, but miss Jenny we will surely miss the lunch deadline then" said one worker nervously.

"What other choice do we have!? Do you want to feed our lords this filthy food?!"

"I-I am sorry miss Jenny" apologised the poor worker.

"Haah, forget it. Just carry out my orders, I will take the blame for everything"

"Thank you miss Jenny" said every worker in unison and bowed their heads. Any delay or mess up in food is punishable offence for entire kitchen staff.

'Hmm, she is not so bad after all' thought Andy. His evaluation of head maid has increased.
