The energy used by everyone in this world to gain power, similar to that of superhumans, was called supernatural energy.
With supernatural energy, they could create various magical phenomena.
Then the question arose: could everyone use supernatural energy?
The answer was that anyone could use supernatural energy if they knew how to use it.
To be able to use supernatural energy and gain superhuman-like power, one had to have a supernatural pool.
But, in order to create a supernatural pool, one had to acquire their own cultivation method.
The problem lay in the cultivation method.
Not everyone could obtain a cultivation method.
Only the nobles had cultivation methods.
Therefore, the hierarchy between nobles and commoners was very clear. The nobles continued to be at the top, while the commoners continued to crawl at the bottom.
That was how it went: the nobles had all the perks, every last one! What a joke, right?!
But there was actually reciprocity for the common people themselves.
With their privileges, the nobles were required to protect ordinary people from supernatural creatures.
The nobles could be regarded as the protectors of life and held a high status because they followed the path of cultivation.
Unless a commoner accidentally discovered a cultivation method within a dungeon or other mysterious places, non-noble people would forever be unable to step on the path of cultivation.
Every noble family had their own cultivation method.
The Ralstone family also had special cultivation methods used for their descendants.
For myself, I had no need for the Ralstone family's special cultivation method, since my supernatural pool had already been broken before I even stepped onto the path of cultivation.
Unlike me, Luna could still use supernatural energy thanks to the Ralstone family's cultivation method and a supernatural pool that was still normal.
Although she had yet to perform the class awakening ceremony, if only to perform a simple body speed boost, she could certainly do so thanks to the training she had done from childhood.
Pow!
"Answer quickly!"
Bam!
"Otherwise, I will assume that you are the mastermind behind the maids' fainting in messy clothes!"
Thwack!
"You must be the one who has been overfeeding them with alcohol, right?! No one else but you is crazy about alcohol in this castle."
Punch!
Luna continued to throw punches.
I had managed to withstand her initial punch, but she immediately drew back her fist and launched various follow-up attacks.
'Heavy!'
Luna's punches were actually very light for me before the regression.
The heavy feeling I felt came from the movement of my body.
Just dodging Luna's punches agonized every muscle in my body.
Every time I took a sudden step to the side, my leg and waist muscles immediately felt as if they were being pulled by bull-bound chains.
'Ugh! This damned drunkard's body.'
Several times, I felt like I was able to dodge Luna's punches, but it turned out that my body couldn't follow my inner will. As a result, I was hit by Luna several times.
Another reason why I lost to Luna, aside from Luna using supernatural energy to speed up her punches, was that I had no intention of fighting back.
"Why are you just smiling like a crazy person? Do you have no intention of answering me at all?"
Pow!
My face was hit so hard that I slipped, thanks to the wet ground, and fell to the ground, my body jolting with pain as the mud splashed onto my clothes.
Luna immediately climbed on top of me and prepared to launch another attack.
Just as Luna's fist was about to reach my already bleeding lips, she stopped thanks to the arrival of someone.
The person who came was an old woman who was struggling to even walk.
Her back was bent, but she managed to grab Luna's hand to stop her.
"Young lady! Please stop!"
"Nanny?!"
That person was Nanny Bessie.
She was the one who took care of the previous owner of my body and Luna when we were young.
Thanks to Nanny Bessie's interference, Luna managed to calm down.
Nanny Bessie then explained to Luna that the people who broke into the room where the maids were found did not see me in it.
"Therefore, it's almost impossible that Young Master Kieran would have done that to the maids, especially since Young Master Kieran had just come from outside. Even if the maids say that it was Young Master Kieran who gave them alcohol, we cannot completely fall for their lies!"
"Ah!"
Luna's eyes widened as she received Nanny Bessie's explanation.
Everyone suddenly fell silent.
Only the sound of the rain could be heard between the three of us.
It was then that Luna realized she was on top of me. Her ass was pressing firmly against my private parts, as if preventing me from escaping.
Her face turned red, and she immediately ran into the main building of the castle.
"Are you alright, Young Master?" Nanny Bessie gave me a helping hand to help me up.
Of course, I accepted her helping hand, but I immediately gave a whisper in her ear, "This time is your one and only pass. Use it wisely. If you cooperate with my older brother again, I might end your life."
From her hand that I held, I could detect that her body was shaking violently.
Her widened eyes seemed to be asking me about how I could know all that.
Of course, I knew from my previous life.
My memory was immediately occupied by the moment when Nanny Bessie showed her true face.
In my previous life, I received her confession when I had been kicked out of the castle.
Just outside the main zone of the city, I had been slumped down lethargically by the roadside. It was at that moment that she approached me and suddenly acted like a madman.
"Finally, my service to this damn family is over!"
"From now on, I won't accept the insult of being an old woman anymore from you, the owners of the surname Ralstone!"
"Fwahaha~ I'm finally free from my obligation to take care of you."
She said with a crazy face that she would be given a big reward for successfully getting me kicked out of the castle. The big reward was money and freedom.
In contrast to all her crazy talk of happiness being close to her, what she got instead was an instant death, not money or freedom.
Right at that moment, Patrick's subordinates, who were experts in sneak attacks, attacked her from behind the shadows of the building.
Right in front of me, her body fell to the ground.
I still remember the details of what had happened at that moment because it was the first time I saw a dead person with my naked eyes.
The bulging eyes, the blood splattering, the hoarse voice as she was dying, all of that was engraved on my memories.
That experience of seeing Nanny Bessie die marked the beginning of my vagabond life in this world.
