Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

The president looked rather surprised after hearing what Larissa’s powers were. "That does sound powerful. Do you think she would agree to be our poster child for the awakening serum?" she asked.

Ning wasn’t sure she would. "You’ll have to contact her, but I’m entirely certain she will choose to refuse."

"Oh, that’s a shame," the president said. "What happened to the other serums?"

"I gave them to a few other friends of mine. Speaking of which, one of them may be able to help you."

Ning gave her Jack’s information. "He caused a bit of destruction when he first revealed his powers, so you might have to ease into it. But other than that, it should be fine," he said.

The president nodded slowly, taking in the information.

Ning stood from his chair, feeling that he had already given her enough problems for one meeting. Judging from the expression on Morstell’s face, she seemed to agree completely, so he turned toward the door and began walking away.

He only made it two steps before remembering something else.

Morstell noticed immediately.

"No."

Ning stopped and glanced over his shoulder. "What?"

"You stopped walking," she said, pointing at him with visible annoyance. "That means you remembered another problem, and judging by the way this conversation has gone, I already know I’m not going to enjoy hearing it."

Ning considered pretending otherwise, but there was no point. "I did remember something."

Morstell closed her eyes briefly before opening them again. "Fine. What is it?"

Ning turned back toward her. "I’m going to support another candidate for the throne of Faedria."

For several seconds, Morstell did nothing but stare at him.

"You’re going to support a candidate for the throne of another country?"

Ning nodded.

The president failed to find the words to respond. "Specifically Faedria, where you publicly accused one of their leading candidates of murdering your family?"

"That’s actually the reason I’m doing this. I found out the other two aren’t that much better anyway, so something must be done there."

Morstell slowly leaned back in her chair again, looking as though she had reached the point where surprise was becoming exhausting. "Who exactly are you planning to support?"

"Someone from the previous Royal Family."

Her expression became even more complicated, and Ning continued before she could start asking several questions at once.

"The previous Royal Family was overthrown," the president said.

"The one I’ve found is part of the extended Royal Family, not the direct line," Ning said. "The current candidates have been searching for surviving women with royal blood because marrying one would strengthen their own positions and prove their legitimacy. Instead of letting them use her that way, I’m helping her make a claim for the throne herself."

Morstell remained silent for a moment as she processed that information. When she finally spoke, her voice was considerably more careful. "And what exactly are you expecting from me in this situation?"

"Support, if you can give it without creating problems for yourself," Ning said. "It doesn’t need to be immediate, and I’m not asking you to publicly endorse someone tomorrow. But if her claim becomes serious and there’s a reasonable way for Conjora to recognize or support her, I’d appreciate it."

Morstell stared at him as though she was mentally reviewing everything he had told her since arriving. "You first explain that demons from another world nearly entered our world. Then you say there is a child strong enough to bring about an apocalypse all by himself. After that, you say you want to create an international academy for dangerous awakened children, and that one of my senators may soon be arrested because of a major investigation. And now you want me to consider supporting your preferred candidate for Queen of Faedria."

Ning thought about the list for a moment. "Hmm. I did a lot today, didn’t I?" he asked. "I’m quite proud of myself. I completed more than I set out to do."

The president nearly failed to speak after hearing that.

"It is more than enough problems for an entire administration," she finally said.

Ning remained quiet while Morstell rubbed her forehead and considered the final request. Eventually, she sighed and looked back toward him.

"Fine. I’m not promising public support before I understand the political situation or even meet this woman, but if her claim is legitimate and there’s a way for Conjora to support her without creating an international disaster, then I’ll consider it seriously."

"That’s all I’m asking."

Morstell narrowed her eyes. "Considering who I’m talking to, I somehow doubt that will remain all you’re asking."

"No guarantees," Ning said and laughed.

The president shook her head. "When exactly are you getting back to work?" she asked. "The Aullazire mines still need you and the rest to look after them."

Ning narrowed his eyes. "Still? I already took care of Tritus."

"Tritus was a big bad. We still have plenty of small bads to take care of," the president said.

Ning nodded. "I’ll get right on it," he said. "By the way, any info on the people in comas because of Tritus? I heard they were waking up, but I don’t know anything more."

"They’ve woken up. All of them. We’re keeping them in the hospital for further testing, but nothing is showing up on their physicals. After some psych evals, they will most likely be sent home," the president said. "All of them woke up with nonsense in their heads about how they lived another life in a story they were reading or a game they were playing. One man, an author, even claims to have lived a full life as a side character in his own story. That will be fun to read when he finally writes it."

Ning laughed slightly. "That will be fun. Hope he writes it soon."

The president nodded.

"Anyway, I’ll be leaving now," Ning said. "Thanks for all the help."

"Yes, yes. Just go, and don’t suddenly remember something this time around."

Ning laughed and walked out of the room, leaving.
