The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 1268

Chapter 1268: The Open Faucet

See, just as they’d feared, the effect of Luca emulating Ollie’s still-mysterious bloodline ability had increased its raw potency by several times over!

And while the golden-eyed tester had managed to mitigate some of the damage by isolating as much of the discharge to a single spot as possible, it had proven rather difficult to simply make it stop.

Luca remembered telling D-29 to inform everyone that, sure enough, this was different from the usual.

The ability stayed active the entire time.

Just like an open faucet.

Unfortunately, in this particular case, the open faucet seemed a tad bit too angry and easily excitable. Every time the dungeon owner tried to shift things around even slightly, something would inevitably get hit, and they’d end up with yet another massive flare.

Not to mention, the energy seemed naturally inclined to seep out unless every possible path was fully restricted.

But how could anyone possibly keep every single one of those pathways blocked every waking moment?

Wouldn’t that be far too tiring and inefficient?

The young Guide couldn’t help but think that they’d really encountered something tricky this time around.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the dungeon owner, his father had actually needed some sort of ventilator at that moment.

Because while Duke Leander knew in his heart that his precious kid was immune to fire, it really didn’t look all that great when, after Ollie had been weaseled away to safety by Luca’s own spiritual tendrils, the sheer intensity of the high-voltage arcs and subsequent flares only increased!

Xavier had been in a similar state, forced to stand ramrod straight in sheer anxiety.

He couldn’t even rush over to help!

After all, getting himself fried and potentially taking down his own little wife with him probably wouldn’t help matters, especially when Xavier wasn’t immune, much less resistant, to either fire or electricity.

"..."

Ollie listened to Luca’s story while simultaneously watching the visual aids provided by D-29, who had apparently kept a full stock of footage from everything that had happened.

And the blonde’s eyes just kept widening and widening!

Because really, if his brother were the one telling the story, it sounded as if they’d simply gone to the lab, tested a little bit of this and a little bit of that, and then...

Boom, boom, clack!

When in reality, the footage was showing a full-on...

BOOOOOM! KRAK! GRAAAAAAAAH!

"..."

And while Ollie sure liked explosions, and maybe this was simply cosmic karma for having such colorful hobbies and interests, he was definitely not the type to prefer being the actual spark!

That was why buttons existed in the first place!

But what could he do?!

He was already like this!

Then again, maybe he really shouldn’t have asked for more details.

Because when they finally got to the part about how Luca had managed to tame the ability in the end, the poor mop with unfortunately working ears actually heard his usually innocent brother chirpily say,

"Good thing you asked, Brother! It’s easy once you learn it! It just took a lot of testing to figure out, so we spent some time over there!"

"!"

The blonde couldn’t help but lean in a little, looking as if he were about to hear some sort of top-secret revelation that would finally solve all his problems.

Only for Luca to suddenly declare,

"You just have to make closed circuits!"

"..."

Ollie blinked.

"What...?"

Again.

Maybe he really shouldn’t have asked.

Because since when was marking out a spiritual pathway and effectively turning it into a closed circuit an easy thing to do for virtually any other person besides Luca Kyros?!

__

At least at that point, the marginally taller blonde felt a little vindicated when even his own mother looked completely puzzled by Luca’s explanation.

Like this, it didn’t feel as if Ollie was the only incompetent one when clearly the method was simply far beyond his pay grade!

Maybe he should just go and make another mecha.

At least that made a little bit more sense.

Crackle!

BOOM!

Was he going to look that cool if he could do the same thing?!
