Chapter 126: Surrounded

If Aisha had been confused to see desire in Shane's eyes, his question which caused the desire in his eyes dumbfounded her further as it wasn't what she had expected him to ask her.

"Eh....bloodlust?..:" Unsure of how to respond to Shane who was barely inches away, she sighed and answered, "The Valkyrie unit has several that can manifest bloodlust…"

Hearing this, Shane's desire ignited further as a sudden emotion overcame him. He took her hands into his own, as he looked at her determinedly.

"I'll come with you!!" Shane realized a bit late that his actions might be considered rude and inappropriate.

As such he quickly let go of her hands and retreated a few steps to put some distance between them.

"Sorry! But the offer is still valid, right?" He apologized though he was sure that the two young women behind Aisha would have torn him apart by now, only to notice that they were completely silent as they stared at their captain with a bewildered expression..

'She let someone touch her?!' The two women couldn't believe their eyes. There were only a handful of people who were allowed to be close to her and even fewer who could dare to touch her without being beaten into a pulp.

However, the most important fact was that Aisha was always surrounded by females and there hadn't been a single man who had come even remotely close to standing near her. And, yet Shane had casually held her arms for a short moment and she hadn't batted an eye.

There were already a few nobles who had tried to gain her favor by inviting her to dance at a dance ball, only to be beaten up, because they had had the audacity to touch her.

Gulping down nervously, the two Valkyrie unit vice-captains exchanged nervous glances with each other as their eyes flicked from Shane to Aisha, only to notice that their captain didn't seem uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Aisha seemed quite astonished herself, as she looked at her own hand as if it belonged to someone else.

Meanwhile, Shane felt the air tense around him and he rubbed the back of his neck nervously, trying to break the ice as he cleared his throat to ask.

"Eh...Hello? Is something wrong?!"

His question made all three young women abandon their train of thoughts, as Aisha hurriedly replied

"Huh? ...Everything is fine! My offer is still the same….you can come with us to get to know the other Valkyries, with whom you'll be spending the next few weeks!"

Her reply made Shane grin from ear to ear as a slow blush crept up Aisha's cheeks, turning her face beet red. She could still feel his warmth lingering on her hand.

Nobody dared to touch her like that, even less a man. The only touch she had ever known was of her parents or other women of the Valkyrie.

Unlike the few times when someone had tried to approach her and brushed their fingers against hers, she had been absolutely horrified and repulsed.

But that was not the case with Shane. This was something essentially different.

Kara and Vera who had been standing behind Aisha and observing silently, couldn't help but size up Shane once again, as everything they previously thought about their unapproachable leader seemed to be proven wrong.

They couldn't help but stare at his athletic body, his tight training suit was doing an excellent job of covering his ripped body, and his toned physique left little to imagination.

But, other than that, they also noticed a weird aura around the young youth in front of them, spreading calmness, charisma, and a fierce desire to become stronger.

Kara had her eyes trained on Shane, and she watched his every step like a predator; silent, yet deadly. Vera's thoughts, however, were a stark contrast to that of Kara, as she licked her lips involuntarily.

Vera approached Shane slowly and he noticed the way she kept looking at him. It was similar to the looks he had been receiving from quite a few girls throughout the parkour he was at during the last two days.

Looking at Aisha's vice-captain, Vera, he couldn't help but step back while frowning, which Aisha noticed.

Aisha shook her head to stop herself from daydreaming any further. She grabbed her vice-captain and reprimanded her "Today, you're not gonna be thirsty, alright! He is only 16 years old and you're already 21! Come back to your senses!!"

Hearing this, Vera gathered her senses, though she couldn't hold herself back and the words were out of her mouth before she knew "You're 20 years old as well and you look at him as if you'll pounce on him any moment!"

Shane couldn't believe his ears. He was right in front of them and they were casually discussing him as if he would become their dessert later.

"Hello?!.... I'm still here?! Can't we….go now??"

Turning a deaf ear to him, Aisha and Vera continued with their discussion, as Kara appeared next to him, apologizing

"I apologize on behalf of Aisha.. She never behaved like this...and I'm sorry that I was so harsh in the beginning, it's only that I don't know you and I….never mind.."

Aisha and Vera's discussion soon turned into a heated debate that made Kara uncomfortable.

She kept staring at the two fighting girls with confusion and apprehension.

Shane had two minds about the scene unfolding in front of him. While on one hand, he wanted to see two of the strongest humans within the basic-dimension fight against each other, on the other he knew that it would attract unnecessary attention, which was something he originally wanted to avoid.

Unfortunately, they had already attracted quite a lot of attention, because Aisha was seen as a goddess by many youths, not only because of her beauty but also because of her strength that would make her one of the strongest humans in the future due to her high mana purity!

Shane couldn't take it anymore, as he released his entire killing intent, aimed at the two girls, who immediately let go of each other, as they instinctively went into their combat stance, summoned their weapons and armors, only to see a black-haired youth retracting his killing intent before it was even fully revealed.

"Can we please go now? We have already attracted too much attention…" Shane said, unbothered by the way the three women stared at him with their.

'Such an advanced killing intent!!'

Nodding her head, Aisha walked past him, as she fell completely silent, not talking to the two vice-captains with Shane following them.

'Soo stupid!!!' Aisha cursed herself for losing her cool today.

After a short walk of 15 minutes, Shane noticed a big group of girls in summer dresses and other comfortable clothes seated in a circle, next to a small stream, talking and laughing with each other, as they saw Aisha return.

All of the 90+ girls stood up from their seats instantly on seeing their leader approach them though they could notice that something was off, as they saw Shane and their two vice-captains behind, which led to a visible confusion.

"This is Shane and he'll be one of the participants in the expedition tomorrow! He is one of the students of the Shirai Academy and I invited him to the picnic...That's it!" Aisha announced loudly before she looked out for a place to sit down. It looked like she was sulking which was eyed weirdly because this behavior of hers was something entirely new for the Valkyries to see.

Their attention then fell on Shane, who was extremely handsome, young, and had a mature aura around him. The girls couldn't care less, as it had been an eternity since they had been able to talk to a handsome male.

It was advantageous to enter the Valkyrie unit, for most of the girls, because the rewards and training were extremely high and beneficial. However, the only downside was that there was a shortage of handsome, strong, and single men.

Most of the soldiers they had met so far were either unworthy of their attention, ugly or too old.

Seeing the girls' gazes, he could only quietly mumble "F**k, what did I enter!", which Kara noticed.

Even if she was previously against Shane because he caused her captain to behave differently, it was true that his fair skin and appearance were extremely pleasing to look at.

She was also aware of her sister's thirst, when it came to handsome men, causing her to shoot him an apologetic look, as the Valkyries approached Shane like hyenas.

Though Shane was unsure of how to fend off a large horde of girls walking towards him like hungry predators, he was sure that standing still was the worst he could do, and being squashed by dozens of women was not really something he desired.

The only reason for him to follow Aisha was his hope that she or the valkyrie unit might be able to help him with the bloodlust manifestation.

As such, he rushed towards Aisha who was still sulking, before hiding behind her, as he hurriedly asked

"Didn't you say that the Valkyrie unit has a few members who can manifest bloodlust? I would rather learn more about bloodlust than being pounced on by your horny subordinates!"
