Alysia stood there frozen, her fingers lightly grazing her cheeks in disbelief.
'Snort' Scylla, with a disdainful look, let out a contemptuous snort. She left for her Maid classes, knowing that Eli had been training in Aadya's Private Arena, and she wasn't allowed there. It left her with no other choice but to join her classes early.
Zera clicked her tongue in annoyance, fully aware of the dynamics at play, while Mia's gaze remained fixed on Alysia, her eyes shooting daggers.
Alysia returned to her seat with a blank and frustrated expression though.... Her lips curled upward in understanding of Eli's sudden action.
Eli simply marked what was his in front of everyone.....
Yes, He had asserted his claim in front of everyone, a stark contrast to Alexander, who preferred not to announce his lover due to potential repercussions with future partners. Eli, however, didn't concern himself with what others thought of him.
It shows the how much Eli difference from others...
A smug smile played on Alysia's lips as she glanced at Pearl Harper and then surveyed the reactions of those around her.
It became clear to everyone: The message was straightforward... Alysia Hill Morgan Flora was targeted by Asher Eli and what's more she was fine with that.
But then, doubt crept in.
'Why am I doing this?!' Alysia slapped her face, deciding to ignore Eli. She resolved to focus on her goal..... 'Yes, my only goal is to make that father of mine suffer and....' Her slightly vacant eyes drifted towards Eli's seat, '.... Maybe... I mean, maybe after that, I can try...' Lost in her thoughts, she contemplated an uncertain future.
"...." Amber Fox observed Alysia before glancing at Pearl, who appeared to have nothing but lifeless eyes. The atmosphere in the class remained heavy with unspoken tension and unresolved emotions.
'Sigh' Amber sighed not understanding what Pearl saw in that backstabbing bastard. She was still fuming over Eli's deceitful tactics, particularly his use of Fake Alexander as bait and the unauthorized touching of her sensitive and fluffy tail.
Suddenly,
"A-Amber?" Pearl called out to Amber.
"Yes?"
"C-Could you... teach m-me how to s-s-s-seduce?" Pearl Harper was a stubborn girl, she had lost a little, but she wouldn't cry....Really, she wouldn't.
Yet, deep inside, a sense of shame and embarrassment made her teeter on the edge of tears.
Controlling herself, she asked Amber for help, as it was her last resort. If not, she had no choice but to give up.
Amber observed Pearl for a moment, a mix of concern and frustration playing on her features. After a few seconds,
"Sigh, Why do you even like him?" She asked with a wry tone, genuinely worried about her friend.
"Oh... that..." Pearl hesitated, unable to reveal the truth due to the confidential nature of her mission.
Seeing her friend's inner turmoil, Amber sighed and said with a more serious tone, "Pearl, let me say this, he isn't the suitable person for you. He's just a pervert who will use women for his own pleasure" clenching her tail, still feeling the pain from being pulled.
Even though she was the one who eagerly watched Eli's live 'P*rn'.
"I-It's fine!!" Pearl scoffed off, convincing herself that her relationship with Eli would be temporary.
"Pearl, you can't be serious!!" Amber was taken aback by her friend's determination.
"I am dead serious" Pearl showed her resolve.
".... Sigh...." Amber visibly sighed, genuinely concerned about what Eli had done to her friend.
"Amber, please!!"
"Fine, fine. It's your loss if you don't listen to my advice....." Amber showed an annoyed expression and said, "I don't know about seducing.... Well, let's call my mother, she might give us some tips."
"Oh! Okay!!" Pearl's eyes sparkled.
Lilith nodded.
Mana Breathing
Deep Inhale
Terra Arts: 2 Form
/Domain/
"Hmmm" Lilith nodded her head, her eyes fixated on Eli's ranged domain, which now enveloped the entire arena.
Eli patiently awaited her use of the domain.
"...I..." Lilith hesitated for a moment, her concern evident as she feared her power might dent her husband's confidence.
"Lilith"
"I am sorry" Eli's call made Lilith chastise herself.
'Tap' This time Lilith gently tapped the ground, and soon the entire room transformed into a dark void, Eli's domain getting absorbed into Lilith's.
'Hmm' Eli nodded in approval, and then,
Ocean Arts: 2 Form
/Domain/
Lilith's domain, which had been absorbing Eli's, suddenly trembled, but then it returned normal and again attempting to assimilate Eli's domain.
"!" Lilith raised her eyebrows, seeing her domain tremble, and glanced at her husband, who maintained a calm demeanor with closed eyes.
/Interspersion/
'Crack, crack'
Lilith's eyes widened in shock as her domain exhibited small cracks around Eli. 'Is he overlapping each domain...? That's new!!' Lilith was genuinely surprised. Even though the cracks were minor, it was an unprecedented technique, overlapping domains in such a way.
Lilith saw Eli's domain flickered back and forth with two different unique colours...
One should understand that each person possesses only one domain corresponding to the elements they control. In some unique cases, like Mia, who can manipulate two elements, she can wield two elemental domains. However, individuals like Eli, who practice Mana Breathwork, enjoy a significant advantage.
Through diligent effort, they can create up to five elemental domains, showcasing the versatility of their abilities.
And this was Lilith's first time seeing some one using three domains to overlap each other, 'Where is he even getting those ideas?' She lost in thoughts however,
'Cough, cough'
When Lilith noticed Eli coughing blood, she immediately halted her domain and materialized in front of him.
Lilith gently wiped a small amount of blood from his lips, looking at him with concern, "Darling?"
Eli glanced at her before winking, assuring her he was fine. However,
"You are an idiot!!" She scolded, pulling him into her bosom, making him inhale her comforting scent.
Eli reciprocated the embrace as the fiery tension in his body subsided.
Lilith smiled awkwardly as she surveyed the arena; everything was in ruins.
As if it had witnessed a fierce battle, the entire arena bore the scars of deep cuts, a deformed surface, molten areas, and dark patches... It truly looked like a scene of devastation.
Aadya was likely to shed tears over the state of her precious arena now...
