"Sir Teller, in this form, you don't have to worry. Just do everything that you normally do as if I don't exist." Darea assured but thought;
"Hehe, Sir Teller, do everything that you normally do. Show them to me!"
Sometimes, if one's thoughts were said out loud, they would sound like a pervert. For example, Darea right now.
Avion was not bothered, "Then I shall go now."
'But how will I change clothes? She should've thought of that and 24/7 is just an exaggeration, right?'
He didn't stop time as he had to carry these three paper bags with him. Thinking about his original plan where Avion could've silently go stronger, he was filled with grief.
Physical strength is not everything.
From reading and practicing these assassination techniques. Avion had entered the mortal martial world. He started to understand the depth of martial arts and its potential.
If raw power is everything, then the ancient people could've just focused on strengthening their bodies and nothing else. However, humans are not beasts, they have a stronger soul, thus, greater intelligence.
Meaning, through practice, Avion would eventually enter a level in which he could battle those Rank Cee Elementalist without the control of time, only with techniques alone!
Well, that is considering that they will only use body Strengthening and nothing else. Elesps are wide and are not only offense and defense.
In that case, Avion would fight with the control of time, of course. With that, even if he doesn't become an Elementalist, he could reach the peak.
Avion took one paper bag and jumped high. It was as if he was not exerting effort with his carefree look, but he was just reverting his body midway.
His room was on the third floor. Like an insect, he jumped on corners with seemingly ease as he entered the opened window.
Darea saw this and found nothing strange, thinking, "If he wants to, he can just do one jump, but he didn't, so mysterious..."
Upon hearing this, Avion was relieved. His talk earlier was not without result. Throughout, he was hiding many things that were easy to point out. This was to establish that he was a mysterious person.
From now on, every alternative that he does will be going to be just "mysterious". He just needs to be overcautious not to commit any mistake or weakness.
In the near future, he had to think of a way to find an excuse to patch up any mistake.
For example, he could say, "I'm hiding from the heavens. No one is perfect in this world, if I do not commit mistakes, they will find me abnormal instead."
However, that sounds too far-fetch, he needed to find another excuse that is compatible with his background.
It is true that no one is perfect. No matter how Avion think and plan several steps ahead, there will be uncertainties in the future that will make him show weakness. Meaning, mistakes were inevitable.
'Tomorrow, I will meditate again and think about this.'
At that moment, he heard.
"This is the first time that I'm feeling tired. Even though not much time had passed, I did not rest even when the time was stopped. I encircled the whole Flasse for how many times, after all. I still have my limits... ugh... so sleepy. Is it because I finally relaxed?"
Avion did not look if her mouth moved or not but it was obvious that she was talking to herself in her thoughts.
Thinking about it, he didn't lay down on the bed but instead, he sat on the floor in the middle of the room.
"Eh? Sir Teller, you will meditate again?"
It was obvious that Darea was talking to Avion right now.
"Yes, I don't need sleep. I have my goal in descending into this mortal world. I need to meditate in both the stoppage of time and in the normal dimension." Avion then glanced at her and said with good intentions, "If you want, you could go sleep. You said that you had been searching for me so you must be tired."
"He's thinking about me?" Darea thought, but on the surface, she said, "No, Sir Teller, how could I go to sleep while you are not?"
She was being humble and respectful, she was not saying this out of fear that she may get taken advantage of.
Darea had long forgotten that she's a woman who needs protection or that she's a woman at all. Furthermore, in her view, if this mysterious Avion wants to do something to her, sleep or awake, there's not much difference.
"It's your choice." Avion then closed his eyes as he sat in his meditative position.
Darea opened her mouth but stopped. She just chose to go along with what Avion said. She was the "weaker" one here and that, it is true she was very tired.
"Kindness... it's been so long since I've experienced it acted on me." she "stared" at Avion meditating as she sat on the bed. Her thoughts then disappeared.
'She stopped thinking. Did she fall asleep or did she deactivate her elesp, Immaterial Body?'
But either way, Avion didn't stop as he used this chance to sleep...
Darea was sitting on his bed, staring at him, her silver crystal eyes opened. He could not hear her thoughts as she was in her original form.
'From now on, this will be the scene that I will see. He's not that handsome... hehe... but I wonder what his original appearance is... it must be very bright!'
What Avion thought was true, with her eyes open, she was more gorgeous than Princess Alisera.
'There will not be battles anymore. No more chaos, no more wars. However, there is more to life.' she looked at the starry sky out to the window.
Her smile widened, 'Once I reached that stage, I will battle the True Gods and maybe even conquer the universe!' she silently giggled.
'Undoubtedly, this will be exponentially harder than conquering Flasse. But, that is why this is so exciting!'
'If I have not met Sir Teller, even if I do own Flasse one day, I will rot without anything more to do.'
She looked at Avion again, she was filled with gratefulness. But at the next moment, killing intent surged within her.
'I will surpass you one day! You will be my biggest obstacle, my biggest stepping stone, Avion Teller!'
After that, she laid down on the bed and slept.
