Chapter 354 - The Ark Of Not In A Relationship

The fox's ears drooped as he realized he was going to be stuck with the Time Mage. Raiyen wasn't too thrilled either barring from the fact that he was more afraid of disobeying Gillian more than anything.

"But how is he going to create a place for the humans to live in?! I have never seen him with Magecraft like that!" protested Tomoe, hoping that Gillian would follow instead.

Tomoe preferred to have the Headmaster as Gillian was the strongest out of the group. And that his Element of Words would be easy to create manmade structures.

Back to the facility, Mavislin was busy loading up the new batch while Rina popped her a very odd question. Well, to be precise, to both Bryan and Mavislin.

"Are you both together or something? You both look like you are quite close," asked Rina, mindlessly.

Bryan accidentally dropped the cover of the pod and onto Mavislin's wrists. The scream of the woman in the pod as she saw a pair of hands severed right in front of her sna[ped Bryan out of his trance. That and Mavislin giving him a powerful kick on the back.

With her hands chopped off, she raised the stubs at Bryan. And waved them at Bryan angrily. Bryan didn't know if he should take a cloth to cover them or just throw up at the sight of it. He didn't choose either since Mavislin healed the wound herself.

"This is why you shouldn't ask questions when someone is lifting something heavy. And Bryan, you are lucky you're in my PIllars, or else I would have severed your head as well," said Mavislin as she regenerated her hands.

As the two human hands emerged, Mavislin instantly cracked them. Stretching them out, she continued the process of getting the woman out from the pod. It was their second last batch and Mavislin had just received the second note from Gillian.

'Tomoe has returned and I'm sending him and Raiyen to make a haven for the victims of this mission. Stay safe on your side. Half of the children are still in a catatonic state while all the women are fine. They are pregnant but none of them are going into labor, so everything checks out.'

The fact that Tomoe has returned sent Mavislin shivers down her spine. She hasn't seen him for quite some time and she was going to answer him about the current situation. And if Raiyen didn't get along with Tomoe, it would spark a war if Bryan meets him.

And with the current question that was hanging in the atmosphere, Mavislin blushed slightly at remembering how she and Tomoe would create fake weddings during the rest periods of training. The empty promises and times that went by.

What was she thinking?! Tomoe is Raiyen's Ancient Relic, no way that that was going to work out. Not in a million years. And in the past, it was only for fun and games, nothing serious. Besides, Mavislin was closer to Raiyen than that fox.

"When we meet again, I will try my hand on courting you. Alright?"

But then again, she was secretly hoping that Tomoe would come back and train with her once more. She wanted to show him how much she has progressed since the last time they met. But first, she has to get through the mission in one piece.

"You both still didn't answer my question. Are you guys going out together?" asked Rina, irked at the fact that she was being ignored.

"We're not going out. I treat him like a child. there's no way I'm ever going out with him. He is my underling and we've got strict rules on not dating our juniors. And I have my eyes set on someone else," replied Mavislin, dashing Rina's hopes to be a matchmaker.

"Yea, I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with my boss. She is my role model and all but I don't have any romantic feelings for her. I just happen to be very inexperienced in the Mages realm so she has to give me more advice and training than normal," replied Bryan.

Both had the same answer as each other. They were both allies and nothing else. However, Rina was now interested that Mavislin was crushing on another person.

"I wonder who would you like other than him, Lady Roydon," asked Rina, poking the Valkyrie's shoulders.

Mavislin caught the finger and held it tightly. She thought of breaking the finger but she knew that Rina didn't mean any harm. She was still quite the child.

"Focus on the mission. We are sending the second last batch. Be prepared, I think guards are coming our way.. We';ve made quite the racket around here," said Mavislin, throwing away Rina's poking finger.
