Another two weeks passed and both Angel and Evelyn advanced a level in their cultivation, reaching the ninth level and eighth level. Cecile was also on the verge of a breakthrough to the half-step level since she has been stuck in the ninth level for some months already.
Yasenia has started to fight with her classmates from time to time. With her new cultivation level, awakened bloodline, and [Lingering star steps] she was only beaten by the people in the top 5 sometimes winning sometimes losing.
The only person she hasn't beat yet, although she was close, is Cecile who has Ice, wind, and space as her attributes, a strong bloodline, a high-level earth rank movement technique, and she is an archer! Yasenia was having trouble closing up on her to damage her. Right now, Yasenia is fifth in the violet class.
Madelaine was surprised about her abrupt rise in cultivation and asked her, but Yasenia just said that it was an effect of her bloodline, so she didn't worry about it anymore.
On this day Yasenia was about to go to the blacksmithing branch. She wanted to sell some metals that she found in one mission she did yesterday. When she reached the shop, there were some people so she waited in the queue.
While waiting she felt someone stop near her back looking at her tail. She was a little annoyed and said while turning "What, you haven't seen a tail before?"
When she looked at the person looking at her tail, she had to look up! It was a very tall woman, at least 198cm tall! With her tan skin and toned body, she had a very heroic figure without losing her womanly assets like a slim waist and wide hips.
Her entire body seemed to be suited for a war goddess. Middle-length brown hair and light-green eyes adorned her heroic face. Her whole being exuded a charm that women would have difficulty resisting.
The woman, Andrea, answered with a smile in her deep and clear voice "Well, I have seen tails before. But I haven't seen one attached to a person until now."
Yasenia raised an eyebrow and smiled teasingly, "Now that you've seen it, what do you think?" Then she swished her tail in front of her.
Andrea was not someone that refrained herself from teasing, so she responded deepening her smile and looking at her eyes "How about you let me touch it later? I'm sure I will be able to tell you exactly how much I like it." Yasenia actually felt her heart skip a beat!
Recovering fast, she laughed, she found this woman extremely amusing. Yasenia linked arms with her and pressed Andrea's toned arm between her breast. "Well, I don't mind, but you have to tell me your name first! I'm Yasenia, an outer disciple of the violet cultivation class." Andrea answered, "I'm Andrea, an inner disciple of the blacksmithing violet class."
Yasenia raised an eyebrow and asked, "What class are you in the cultivation branch?"
Andrea and Yasenia followed the queue forwards while talking. "None, once you make it to the inner disciple level, you will be able to focus either on your profession or cultivation path. Of course, this doesn't mean we don't cultivate. It is just that our cultivation techniques are different. Instead of absorbing the energy of the world normally, which we still can, we absorb energy while working. Alchemists do it while doing pills and blacksmiths while forging. Formation masters are the only ones that still need to cultivate normally."
Yasenia nodded, she already knew this information. What she didn't know was that you could completely leave the cultivation branch after you become an inner disciple. Seeing that it was almost her turn she released her arm and said "How can I contact you?"
Andrea was surprised and raised an eyebrow, Yasenia said with a smile "Didn't you want to touch my tail?"
She moved her tail in front of Andrea and continued "If you tell me how to contact you… I may let you play with it for a while~"
Andrea laughed with her deep and clear voice and added "I'm usually at the biggest inner disciple smithy, if you asked for me there they should guide you to me."
Yasenia nodded in a good mood. She took out her metals, sold them, and left while caressing Andrea's arm with her soft and smooth tail.
Andrea looked at the girl who was sashaying her hips and thought 'Maybe this year won't be as monotonous as the others' then she heard "Next please!" And woke up from her stupor.
After Yasenia left, she started thinking about her actions again. 'If Andrea were to be male, instead of teasing her I would have either ignored her or slapped her… Am I too… flirty? If the woman interests me, I really am… I think it was good that mom put me a maximum of five girls. Moreover, if I hadn't been in a relationship with mom... I think that I would have opened that massaging stall with the extra services…'
In the academy, there wasn't just one class for each color, there were more than 100 classes for outer red disciples! The only one with that peculiarity was the violet class of each branch.
If you wanted to start learning any of the branches, there were always public classes that only spoke about the basics of each profession. Not only that, they have a lot of tests to see whether you are talented or not.
During these three weeks, she had been trying to learn Alchemy and formations. Yasenia was completely useless in alchemy, even when she memorized the herbs, effects, concoction time, and all those things, she couldn't even create the most basic pill.
On the other side, she was somewhat able to learn about formations, although she wasn't greatly skilled, she wasn't bad. If she were to classify in a class, she would be able to enter the green class and maybe the blue class if she puts in the necessary effort.
Today, Yasenia was going to the blacksmith class, she wanted to test herself in the three of them and, if it was worth it, learn one.
When she entered the class, the one giving the public class was actually Andrea! Although she has seen inner and core disciples giving these kinds of classes before she couldn't help but marvel at the coincidence. She smiled towards Andrea, who was also a little surprised and then sat in the front row.
After that, the class started. During the hour and a half of the class, a lot of people left midway because they didn't understand anything. In the end, there were only 10 people listening, which was a normal occurrence.
After finishing Andrea packed her stuff and walked towards Yasenia. Yasenia was frowning a little. She could understand, but, like with alchemy no matter how she tried she couldn't even channel the energy correctly towards the tools.
Seeing The frown on Yasenia's face Andrea laughed a little, "Try to go to the next three classes, your theoretical understanding is actually at the same level that the violet class disciples. It's just… The way your energy reacts with these tools is indeed strange."
Yasenia looked up and pouted cutely "The alchemy teacher said the same. I don't understand why the tools react so strange to my energy…" Even her tail was throwing a tantrum hitting the floor repeatedly!
Andrea patted her head and said with amusement "Okay, okay, the floor isn't guilty so stop hitting it with your tail. You have also tried the other two branches? How were you in your formation classes."
Yasenia said "I was actually decent. Even without real training, I would be able to enter the blue class if I put effort and climb up."
Both of them walked together attracting attention from the other students. They were whispering things like "Wow! They fit so well with each other. Are they a couple?"
"The girl with the tail sure is beautiful, that heroic woman fits her perfectly!"
"If they truly are a couple they are like a match made in heaven."
Yasenia looked around puzzled "Do we truly fit each other?"
Andrea laughed and put one arm over Yasenia's shoulder "They are all saying it, then we should!"
Then she raised an eyebrow and looked down "What should we do? Should we start a relationship?"
Yasenia looked up and seeing that light green eyes staring at her she couldn't help but seriously think about it "Are you teasing me? Or asking me honestly?"
Andrea didn't think that she would answer that way. She looked at the beautiful golden slit eyes with that tinge of red, the soft body under her arm, and the nice sweet floral aroma around the girl.
The tail behind her only gave her more charm. She had those seductive curves and that nice personality. Even if they just met, she could tell that they will become close. What she didn't think about is how close they could be…
Receiving no answer Yasenia said with a slight simile "If you are serious… Then I will have to tell you things about myself. I don't know what you are searching for in your future partner… What I will give all of my future partners, regardless of anything else, is trust and honesty."
She separated from Andrea and while looking at her light-green eyes she said "If you want to hear about it… Come to the mountain tomorrow after classes finish." Then she turned and left.
Andrea stood still, watching that enchanting back disappear. She didn't know what to do. At first, she was just teasing her, she didn't expect… She sighed, then turned and walked slowly towards her quarters.
A lot of girls have confessed to her during her years in the academy, she was 32 years old. Her current cultivation was at the sixth level of the Mental nourishing realm.
When the first girl confessed to Andrea, she actually agreed. She wanted to try being with someone, however, when she told her secret to that girl… That girl looked at her horrified and actually left.
Fearing news from leaking about her secret, she reached an agreement that in the future she will forge something for her for free if she gathered the necessary materials. They both swore to the heavens, and the oath was completed.
Some months later she tried again, but this time, using the oaths more intelligently she talked about her secret to the people she found interesting. However, be it man or woman neither wanted to be in a relationship with her.
She gave up starting a relationship, she wanted to try having sexual relationships, so she has gone to brothels and the like from time to time. But that is all the experience she has in the relationship aspect.
That is why she was very unwilling to go to the mountain tomorrow. She liked Yasenia, she wouldn't even mind starting a relationship with her and getting to know each other. However, she was already afraid of confessing to someone or getting confessed by someone.
After thinking for a while, she decided to try one last time.
If even someone like Yasenia, who seems very open-minded can't accept her, she will just focus on the cultivation road and wait and see what the future awaits her. 'One last time Andrea, even if you are a little afraid, just go and try one more time.'
Yasenia reached the house and for respect towards Andrea this night she didn't start doing anything with Angel. They were laying on the bed when Yasenia talked about it, "Baby, tomorrow I will be going to the back of the mountain. I'm meeting a woman and maybe I will start a relationship with her."
Angel was surprised. She closed her eyes and tried to imagine Yasenia with an unknown woman kissing. She felt a little pain in her heart.
Yasenia who was extremely attentive right now saw the change in her expression. She hugged her little Angel tightly "Angel, I know that it is unfair, extremely so. That is why I waited and never did the last step with you. I told you at the beginning I will be as clear as water to you."
Yasenia although extremely unwilling continued her sentence "If… You want to… stop this relationship, you are still in time."
