Book 4: Chapter 58: Class VI and Emotions

Scarlet

Amelia and I continue walking until we leave through the gate of the mansion grounds, then we continue walking a bit more after that as Amelia answers some more of my questions. Specifically the one about me reaching Class VI.

Isaac has always been very tightlipped about where he learned to ascend without the help of the System, so I dont know much, Amelia says. But I do remember hearing him mention at one point that the System only supports up to Class V. She glances at me. So if I had to guess, youll probably be expelled from the System if you reach Class VI.

I blink at that.

Would that mean Id have to learn how to do all of my current skills without the skills help? I ask, not very much liking that idea even if it does mean more power in the distant future.

Amelia purses her lips at that, but instead of her, Tar appears and answers, Yes and no. Both me and Amelia turn to look at him. Passive skills arent just skills that activate with the System. Theyre ingrained into your very DNA and cells. Meaning you cant lose them even if you lost System support. But active skills? You might lose control over those.

Hmm. Not as bad as I expected then, but still not something to look forward to.

Although, Tar adds, if you manage to get a skill like the Demon Kings Blood Domain, which you should be able to get achievement-locked, then you can start learning how to do everything yourself long before you ever even get close to reaching Class VI.

Oh. Right.

I kinda forgot about that.

And then theres that redacted rarity skill too, Tar adds, making me nod my head in agreement.

Tars suspicion on that skill is that its an improved version of Gramps Blood Domain skill. Probably one that gives me absolute control over blood including the nullification of any blood in the domain, not just the blood I manifest in it.

Which would basically just make me like a goddess of blood or something.

Then again, it could turn out to be something entirely different as well.

I glance at Amelia to find her frowning slightly with a tiny hint of jealousy on her face. Something I saw when I first mentioned the redacted rarity skill to her.

Do you want your emotions back? I ask Blue while tilting my head slightly, making Amelia stiffen up immediately. And at the same time, Blue shows the first reaction Ive ever seen out of him in the form of a simple blink of both of his eyes at once. One of surprise.

It takes several seconds before he narrows his eyes slightly and says, I dont care. Then he walks past me and Amelia without another word.

But for some reason, his words seem to shock Amelia even more as she quickly rushes up to me and grabs me by the shoulders as she practically shouts, Are you really able to get his emotions back?!

I open my mouth to respond, only to close it again a second later when nothing comes out due to my own surprise at her actions. Then I open it again when she lets go to answer, I dont know. Ill have to ask her if shell return his emotions.

Amelia opens her mouth for a second, only to close it and nod her head.

Theres a chance shell say yes, and a chance shell say no, I continue with a shrug. Xyvandra seems to care about me, so she might at least consider it. Although I would have to ask Gramps if he could wake her up to see me. Or if I could just tag along during a strategy meeting where Ill find her without having to wake her up.

The thought of waking up the Devourer isnt a pleasant thought. Its why Blue had his emotions eaten in the first place after all. Because he woke her up.

Amelia blinks at me in surprise and tilts her head, Strategy meetings?

Yeah, I offhandedly mutter while still thinking about how I might bring this up to Gramps. Or rather, when I might. Since I wont be seeing him for a while. Gramps has had me sit in on quite a few of their war meetings. It was rather boring.

Amelia just stares at me for some reason dumbfounded, but I ignore her as I continue to ponder over the subject of Gramps.

How should I ask maybe I can ask to visit in a month or two?

Oh! Wait! I can ask after reaching Class V!

That should work.

I focus on Amelia again, finding her still looking dumbfounded. So I ask, Whats wrong?

She doesnt answer, and for some reason Tar snorts in amusement.

Did something happen?
