Chapter 157: Can I Have A Copy? Please?

When Aurora told her about the main defensive array, Evelyn didn't know whether she should be impressed or disappointed.

On one hand, the intricacies of the array were far beyond her understanding, and Evelyn openly acknowledged that whoever came up with it was definitely a genius. On the other hand, it was something that was really, really conditional to use.

Not only did it require four 'pillars' to activate, the array itself was not engraved on a disc, but the land itself. The area covered by the array was also limited to the size of the engraving. It may sound grand that the entirety of the ancient academy was covered under a single array, but how much effort and sacrifice must it have taken to carve an array of this size? It was anything but efficient.

Arrays that used discs were already expensive enough, and those few inches of engravings could expand to cover hundreds of meters. In comparison, the main defensive array of the academy did not expand at all.

And perhaps the worst part of it all was the fact that the array's strength depended on the weakest 'pillar'. Even if the other three were twice or even thrice as strong, they couldn't compensate for the fourth pillar's weakness.

Plus, not just anyone could become a pillar and activate the array. Using it required all four pillars to coordinate with each other nearly perfectly, and the better their coordination, the more efficient the array would be.

Of course, all that being said, it was still the academy's last line of defense, and also their only method to stop an opponent that exceeded even Aurora's level. That alone made it worth practicing.

The pink-haired girl tapped her chin in thought once Aurora was done with her explanation. Well, it wouldn't hurt to take it in any case, even if it had a lot of conditions to use. It just so happens that she has enough friends. "Do you have a copy of the whole thing? I don't think I can remember all the formulas like that."Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

Given that a mortal shouldered almost no consequences for having the array imprinted on their body, while a spirit physique suffered from nearly unbearable pain for decades, and a spirit beast would perish directly Aurora didn't dare to try. It was better to just let her learn.

"Wait, I'll remove it."

"No need, teacher, I'll do it!" Evelyn grinned as she leapt forward and pulled the strings that had been keeping the frock's back closed. She had no idea how Aurora managed to make such intricate bow ties on her back, but they sure were easy to open!

The platinum blonde momentarily shook as her ears turned red in shame, even the lit-up array on her back disappeared, leaving Evelyn staring at her teacher's bare back in surprise.

She'd thought that it would be covered in some tattoo or worse, cuts but it was completely pristine and flawless. Evelyn couldn't help but run her hand over the smooth skin curiously. "Well, teacher's back is beautiful, but there's nothing here?"

Aurora shuddered in shame. "D-Don't touch!"

When had she ever endured such humiliation? She should have known this was going to happen.

Evelyn coughed as she took her hand away, feeling a little embarrassed as well. "S-Sorry, it's just the array disappeared, and I got a little carried away."

She couldn't see her teacher's expression from the back, but it was sure to be a sulky one. Evelyn couldn't help but feel a little guilty when she thought of Aurora pouting with teary eyes. 'No wonder she thinks of me as a pervert. Thankfully I'm just a kid, or I would have gone splat on the wall or something. I really need to be more thoughtful from now on.'
