Chapter 145 With His Awesomeness

"Girls! Calm down! We all need this, and Galio is offering to teach us to get stronger!" Eliza said, turning to the hallways full of women.

"This doesn't sound like an offering," Breya said, and I nodded.

"You're right, and I phrased that wrong. What I want to do is to get you to teach me your abilities; then, if I can, I will try to help you improve them. So, what I meant is to ask if you would all train with me in the morning?"

I didn't want to make them regret this or not want to be there, so I was going to have to take a different route. Trying to force people to do things wasn't working in the past, and you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

"You want all of us to train with you?" Trina asked, and I nodded.

"Yes. The more I can learn, the more I can unlock. It can be a problem as well. I need you all to pick my brain and draw out some of the knowledge that is hiding just below the surface. If you do, I can give you insight into whatever you need. You all are frustrated that I seem to have an answer to everything, then why not use that?" I asked, and then the girls started to get looks of realization of what I was explaining to them.

"So, we aren't actually training then? Not getting sweaty?" Breya asked, and I smiled.

"No sweating unless you want to," I said.

"So, this is just going to be like at the Angel Baking conventions where they have a Q and A with the top cooks?" Breya asked hopefully, and I nodded, making her smile brightly. "Now, that doesn't sound too bad, but you know what I will be asking about!"

Not all the skills and questions were going to be ones that jogged crucial information, but Leo was right. I need the basics before I can efficiently use the advanced ones. This was the best way to start with the basics. With time, the information that I needed would come to me. That was what I assumed, and I had to believe it was true.

This was how I had gained what I had so far, but it had come just from random conversations. This time I was going to make an effort to use the tremendous gift that I was given. The whole world depended on me to learn what I needed to, and I never backed down from a challenge if I knew I could win.

"Alright, let's all clear out and get to bed. I am beyond tired, and I just want to get into bed," I said, and the girls started to unpack, but Eliza came over beside me.

"Do you want to sleep alone if you are really quiet? Chili and I will be really quiet. I already talked to her, and she is waiting for us, but I can tell her-"

I silenced her with a kiss, and Eliza melted into me.

"Let's go to bed. I have been waiting all day to crawl in with you, but someone sent me one wild goose chase," I teased after breaking the kiss, and Eliza grinned up at me.

"You know that you deserved it. Senna is the hardest working person I know, and she puts in a lot of effort," Eliza scolded, and I scooped her up.

"Yes, and I learned my lesson, I am sure. Mostly. It's not like I try to do it, but I should have been the one to go get Skylar in the first place. None of this would have happened if I had just taken responsibility. Some lessons are learned better than others," I said with a sigh, and Eliza kissed my cheek as I headed to her room.

"We know you are trying, but sometimes you put your foot in your mouth. I think you were the one that said everyone could benefit from thinking before speaking, right?" Eliza teased, and I buried my face into her neck, peppering her with kisses, making her giggle and fidget in my arms.

"You are right. More of my own lessons I am not following. I am starting to sound like quite the hypocrite," I laughed, pulling my face back, and Eliza smirked at me as we reached her room.

"You are a hypocrite, but I still like you!" Eliza giggled as I opened the door to find Chili sitting on the bed waiting for us.

Eliza jumped out of my arms and ran over to Chili as I closed the door.

I had wanted to go deal with Morgana, but that could be done in the morning. I wanted her to join us for the Questions and Answer session in the morning.

I had browsed my thoughts on Necromancy, but I seemed to not fully understand how Morgana was summoning without the corpses. The monsters were being summoned from somewhere, and that was where the problem was. Another missing piece, but the Lich Queen should be able to teach me what I needed.

"Galio just fought some crazy monster right in front of the house! We were all watching out the window! The goddess was there too! She turned into something strange, like a fancy boomstick! Then Galio was all like, "Not Today!" and started shooting glowing bullets!" Eliza explained, but I didn't remember ever saying any such thing.

"Really?! What happened to the monster?!" Chili asked with a startled look.

"Galio chased it away with his awesomeness, obviously. He was able to shoot off one of her arms before she got away! The monster was jumping all over the place, but Galio had her on the run!" Eliza declared dramatically, and I slapped my hand to my face at her answer.

"Wow! Your awesomeness is really strong! Sorry I didn't see!" Chili said, bowing her head, and I laughed.

"Don't worry about it! Eliza made the story sound way better than it actually was, but I liked the telling. Beating back monsters with my overwhelming awesomeness. Yup that sounds a lot better than what actually happened!" I laughed, scratching the back of my head with a sigh.
