"Don't you have somewhere to be?" I narrowed my eyes at the crowd which immediately dispersed.
'I have to say, I was getting a little worried there' Olivia voiced with a relieved expression on her face.
'Sorry about that. I was thinking about coffee and forgot where I was. In any case, where are the other two idiots?' I asked through the mind link before widening my eyes and continuing 'Nevermind, I see them'
With a raised eyebrow, Olivia got herself ready to follow my lead. I immediately started walking in a certain direction, clicking my uncomfortable heels even with the addition of Gravity magic. Boys and girls started looking at me while I walked, while the noblewomen looked at me as if I was doing a catwalk.
"Tsk" kissing my teeth, I decreased my weight even further and used the wind to lift my skirt off the floor slightly, making sure that I would not step on it. The next instant, I was dashing through the street with Olivia following behind me without any problems. All everyone could see was a blur moving past them while blowing wind onto their face and making the women shriek while holding their skirts down.
Appearing in front of the bar a few seconds later, I looked at the man working at the front. He was wearing a black and white ordinary butler suit with his white hair jelled back and his arms behind held behind his back. He gave off a strong aura of a veteran, at least at the Grand Knight stage, however, for some reason, he gave me the same feeling as my grandmother. I am not sure if it was because he was old or because of their aura's feeling slightly similar, but there was something they both had in common.
"Hello sir." I announced my presence to the man, however, he did not open his eyes, nor move a muscle on his wrinkly face, however, I could feel a strange power flowing out of him and flowing around me as if it was observing me.
A few seconds later, Olivia had reached where I was as she had to deal with the crowd of people trying to follow my blurry speed. The old man did the same thing he did to me, to her while I observed with my divine eyes.
"Interesting" The old man finally opened his eyes, showing me his azure and white retina's shining with a brilliant yet beautiful light. At the same time, I felt as if everything around me had gotten a hint darker when looking into his eyes.

'Yes'
[Genetic Skill -Intimidation- had been added to the queue of to be analyzed skills and spells]
'bruh' I thought with disappointment rising within my heart.
"I can't feel your strength, but your presence is more than vivid to my soul and instincts. What are you?" The man asked
"No one. I'm gonna walk in now though, if you don't mind of course" I glared at him, threatening him to just let me walk by, however, he seemed to have not taken my threat seriously.
"I'll need something that will allow me to identify who you are. People under the age of 14 cannot enter the bar. Those are the rules" The man voiced while extending his arm in front of me, making it so the only way of advancing is to duck under his arm.
Before I could snap at him for blocking my path, I felt a tug from behind before Olivia spoke, saying "Don't worry about it. I'll go in and call them two out". However, to both our surprises, she was also stopped and asked to hand over some identification, which she, after losing all her clothes in the fight against me, simply did not have.
"Oi, old man. Can you tell my dad and Jack to come out?" I asked with a sigh.
"I do not know who those are?" He replied while closing his eyes again.
"You don't know Major General Jack Galibiur?" I asked with a raised brow, making his eyes shoot open before looking at me in doubt.
"And who he is with is your father? Hahaha, you do not look an ounce like him. Not from the hair, eyes, posture, and presence. This is your last chance to go move kid. I won't say it again." the old man barked
At the same time, the door behind the old man had opened and someone had come out, leaving the door open, ready to be swung to a close again. However, before that could happen, I shot a rock at the ear of Jack, who happened to be 153 degrees away from my original shot, forcing me to change the trajectory mid-flight and hit a mug instead.
"What did you just do?" The old man asked while staring into my eyes.
However, the pebble did not stop moving, shooting at the temple of the Major General before being grabbed within the hand of the person it was aiming for. The next moment. It exploded in blue flames and turned the pebble into magma, not hurting the skin of Jack but becoming molten in the process. After escaping the grasp of Jack, it floated in front of him and spelled out the words "Get your ass out here right now!"
Before the old man could do anything to me for shooting a pebble inside or using magic which he sensed with the aura like power terminating around him, Jack walked out and asked "Don't we have another half an hour?"
*smack*
Smacking my forehead in disbelief in how bad someone can be with their timings and yet still being a Major General, I quickly looked in the analysis just to see
[-00 hrs 37 mins 29 secs[
"*SIGH* you mean 37 minutes and 32 seconds passed the meeting time. Where is dad?" I sighed
"Oh him? He got a little drunk and is now spewing out his guts in the bathroom, why?" Jack yawned
Dashing in, I quickly grabbed my drunken father without anyone being able to stop while being in heels, before dashing out again. The old man did not move due to the presence of the Major General.
"Ugh, Ava. Your hips feel nice today too" He muttered to himself while holding onto the bottle of wine within his arms.
"Disgusting..." I muttered while I imagined the scene. Even though I said that it was disgusting, I quite liked the scene that I saw in my head. Maybe it's because I don't see them as my real parents, or maybe I was just horny. If I was forced to say, I'd say that my mother was quite a good-looking woman, making her model material even on earth. However, the next instant while I dragged my father from the collar, my eyes widened slightly while my expression was one in crisis.
'Oh god. Did I hit puberty already? Are my hormones changing? IS that why I am feeling horny? AM I feeling horny? Wait... I thought women don't get horny like men due to their low testosterone during their puberty years. Maybe the inner teen that I had never shown or let out all those years ago is coming back to haunt me with these strange urges.'
Unknowingly, I had sped up quite a lot while my face was become redder and redder by the step
'Would I get turned on by looking in the mirror while being naked? What kind of question is that? OF COURSE, I WILL! O-okay okay. I need to calm down. I just need to never look in the mirror while I am naked for the next 3 or 4 years. That is nothing too bad. Also, I should keep my eyes shut in the shower. YES! The answer to solv- Oh wait... I can see even without my eyes. Actually, I can see myself naked right now... THIS IS BAD! THIS IS BAD!'
'Mayday Mayday! SOS! RED SIGNAL! HELP!' I shouted into the mind link, causing Olivia to wince a little
'What is it?' She asked with a grimacing tone.
'Okay, okay. I am hitting puberty and what my father said exactly 4 seconds and a sixth ago is causing me to get turned on. How do I fix this?' I asked, however, to my misery, instead of helping me, Olivia went completely still and entranced into a daze, probably trying to comprehend what I had just said with the little amount of brainpower she has.
'DAMNIT OLIVIA!' I roared in the mind link, just to receive old radio sounds from her end.
'It's okay Atlas! THINK! What would I do back then to control myself? I- I... I just fapped... THAT IS NOT HELP, WHAT THE HELL OLD ME!? OKAY! I MUST HAVE DONE ONE THING BEFORE TO FIX THIS KIND OF SITUATION! Uhhhhh...'
Before I knew it, My mind went blank while thinking, making it so I was just walking mindlessly while dragging my father who was tightly hugging the wine bottle into his chest, as if it was a child or his wife. I am not sure if that is weird or normal, but to feel the same kind of intimacy towards both a child and his wife, but I could not question it as I was in a trance.
[Affinity to Lust is increasing]
[Affinity to Pride is increasing]
[Mental fortitude has been reinforced]
Eventually, even though those notifications did not awaken me from my daze, my smashing to the walls of the teleportation hub was enough for me to wake up.
'_NDOOOOOOORAAAAAAA' I heard a shout in my mind after awakening from my trance.
'What?' I replied while rubbing my nose.
'Well, you were about to smash into a wall, and I found and answer to your question'
'What question' I raised a brow
'You said something about being turned on and wanting to stop it?' She replied while tilting her head.
'...'
'...'
'DUMBASS! NOW WHY WOULD YOU REMIND ME!?' I roared back at her, making her chuckle nervously
'The answer then?' I continued
'Oh, Uhm, all you have to do is think about something else. It will be a bit hard at first but try not to think about the boys you wan-'
Before she could finish, I closed the mind link, cutting her off, and thought to myself 'Maybe choosing an idiot as my first follower was not a good idea' while slapping my forehead.
{Author's note: Quickly, I'd like to say thank you for still following and supporting my novel even when I was not uploading. I am currently not in my home country and due to the tight schedule, I might not always be able to get out chapters. Yesterday, I had decided to release two chapters in a single day because I was feeling like it and had a lot of time on my hands, however, I will not be able to release chapters every day. On the same note, I am trying to release chapters every day, and if they aren't out by 4 GMT, then they might be out later in the day.
Furthermore, I'll try to make up for the 4 days I missed by getting a mass release out when I return home, around the 4th of January, with a small mass release, and I promise this time it will be 4 chapter+...
Lastly, It would be nice to know what you guys want to see from this novel and how I could improve it. Right now I am trying to keep it action-packed with light-heartedness to keep the mood light. I am going to do a few side stories that are mainly for world-building and character-building away from the main plot, that being Atlas' perspective, and I'd like to know what you think of those when they come out.
Thank you for listening/reading}
