With this silent vow, it meant I would fight tooth and nail to stay with Able. I have only known this family for a few days but I already feel very at home here. After a hearty meal Emily, Alissa, Able, and I retired to my room. Alissa had been silent for most of the night which had me somewhat worried. I wondered if my actions earlier had scared her.
I guess I should say something or I might end up losing a friend. Alissa may be a pervert at heart but she is very good to me. Luckily her love interest stat has not gone down so I am not sure why she is acting the way she is. "Alissa about earlier..."
"It was so cooooool!! What you did earlier was so domineering! Rei is it okay if I worship you!?" Alissa suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs. This not only caught me off guard but Able and Emily too. Emily even fell out of her chair.
"Uhhh? Alissa? You were not scared by my actions earlier?" I asked.
"Scared? No! Ever since we walked inside I have been replaying the scene of you teaching Sara a lesson over and over in my head. That bitch got what she deserved and then some! It sent chills up my spine! I loved it!" I guess I can relax now. Seeing how Alissa was her old self. Which I am glad to see that she is.
"It has been a long day... Rei you amazed me with how fast you learned to take in magic and turn it into internal energy. Now I feel I will lose instantly the next time we spar. " Able was sitting next to me on the bed, as he said his words he sneakily grabbed my hand and interlocked his fingers with mine which made me blush slightly. He was very bold in his actions. I am not saying that I did not like this. I am happy that he is this way. I hope he will continue to be this way in the future as well.
I do feel we are much closer now after we had hugged each other earlier. There is just something about him that has this calming effect on me.
"Rei if you are sleepy you should go to bed." Able's melodic voice floated into my ear.
Without even realizing it I had leaned over and rested my head on his shoulder. I was truly tired. But I did not want to move just yet since I was rather comfortable. "Mmm... Just a bit longer..."
"Can you two not do your lovey dovey act in front of me!?" Alissa suddenly shouted and pried us apart sitting between us.
"Alright, I will let you girls get ready for bed." Able did not get angry at Alissa, instead, he got up and walked over to me and kissed my forehead before continuing: "Good night Rei, I will see you in the morning."
I think I need to keep a good eye on Able from now on. He was a natural born lady killer. But still, as of now, he was my natural born lady killer. I looked up at him and smiled brightly. "Mmm, good night. I will see you in the morning."
"Shoo! Shoo! It's my time with Rei now!" Alissa quickly kicked him out of the room which made both me and Emily laugh. When he was finally gone Alissa turned to me and said: "Rei do not fall for his charms! Before you know it you will be pregnant before you even get into the Academy!"
"Alissa, you think too much. You of all people know Able is not like that." Although I tried to play it off as if her words were no big deal, my cheeks still gave away my slight embarrassment.
"But still… You two have only been together for a few days but are already so lovey dovey. Not that I will let him marry you but I am glad that he treats you well." Alissa said with a smile.
"Why are you going to marry me instead Alissa? Will you bear my children?" I asked teasingly.
"You! Rei you're not playing fair." Alissa said with a huff, her cheeks burning red.
I giggled and pushed Alissa from behind to the bath. "Come let's bathe and go to bed. If you keep your hands to yourself, you can sleep in my bed."
This seemed to perk Alissa right up as she quickly nodded her head and said: "I promise not to let my hands wander!"
Rolling my eyes I got undressed and soaked in the nice hot bath. That night Alissa kept to her promise and did not do anything weird. I actually did not sleep. Instead, after Alissa was sound asleep I started to use the cultivation method to make my internal energy stronger and my magic stronger. Earlier I was able to make my Magic Power rise from 5 > 6, along with some of my other stats changing as well.

"System what does the ++ stands for?" Rei asked.
"The plus stands for an enemy that hates you to the core. It is best to stay clear of this person because they have gone crazy with wanting to kill you." The system replied which made me frown. It seemed it would be best not to get caught alone with this woman and my guess is in order to complete the main event I will need to make the entire side family stand beneath me.
I really couldn't help but let out a sigh. But something else did catch my eye. "System why are my system points so high I haven't completed any events..."
"You completed 2 side events. One issued by the system for reaching rank 2 on internal energy and another hidden event worth 2500 points for teaching that bitch a lesson. "
So it looked like I was able to trigger a decent event for doing what I did. This made me happy since that meant I was able to accomplish a lot today. "System is there a way to get the rest of my stats up faster?"
"There is no cheating with the system, all things are done and gained through hard work. Rei, remember, the gains you get by yourself are tens of times better than the gains you get from cheating."
I had to admit the system had a point. In order to have a power that is stable and yours alone, it is best to work hard for it. This is exactly what I planned to do. "Mmm… I will remember this thanks system. I will begin cultivating now."
