Luke, finished handling affairs with Cassandra, returned to his mother's side. He knew that Cassandra, although didn't show it, was extremely worried about him and Alicia.
As a result, he needed to settle the anxiety within her by having sex with her.
Furthermore, since she was just about to reach the next realm, he gave her one of his Mana stones. She was his woman and that was the reality so he could only help her in one way or another. Moreover, despite having a dominating personality, he still had a soft side for his loved ones.
It would only be a good point if she had a breakthrough...
Even though she is at the 3rd Star, her income is only 10 low-grade Mana stones...
But it is reasonable since the clan took care of her every provision when she was just a little girl and even taught her Blood Bloom technique...
It doesn't matter anyway... She wouldn't even think of backstabbing me after this...
Now the next problem is with Lina... She needs to become a Magician too, I'll fix the Mana channels for her but that will leave me with less than three thousand points... I need to earn more then... Right, Stella might work...
Positioning himself on the couch, Luke took out a high-grade Mana stone from his inventory and began to absorb refined Mana from within it.
Since there was some time left before the sun would fall, he decided to cultivate as there was nothing else to do besides practising.
...
Royal Magic Academy, Royal City.
The class full of noble Magicians seated gracefully on their seats continued to look at the beautiful lady ahead—Eleanor Hawthorne. For she was one of the most powerful and beautiful human Magicians in the world, all of them naturally didn't dare to make a sound.
The lady dressed in a clean long black robe looked like a completely different person than present. Her grey hair cascaded down on her back. Her azure eyes shined like a star as she continued to teach her students about natural Elements.
"So, who can tell me the exact number of Unique elements?" She asked in her fairy-like voice as her gaze fell from one student to another and finally landed on a boy who was the most talented student in her class.
"Mr. Salazar, you'll answer," She said, her gaze fixed on the golden-haired boy.
The next instant, the said boy stood up with a complete lack of interest.
Every student present in the massive classroom stayed quiet as usual. However, there was a change. Unlike a moment ago, their heads were down, not even daring to stare at the now-standing boy. For he was the sole Prince of the Human Nation, not a single person wanted to mess up their fate by pissing him somehow.
Cosmi Salazar, the greatest talent of the Human Nation showed indifference and let out his words at his own pace, "Eight, per se, if I'm correct..."
Hearing his answer, Eleanor nodded, "Yes, you're correct," she said without much interest and then looked at the cheerful girl sitting just beside him, "Ms. Salazar, might you be interested in enunciating the names of these Eight unique elements?"
Laura Salazar, the golden-haired beauty and the twin sister of Cosmi Salazar, stood up with elegance and bowed before answering in her melodic voice, "These Eight unique elements are Space & Time, Light & Darkness, Life & Death, and the last is Chaos & Creation."
"Excellent, you may sit," Eleanor praised her before she once again resumed explaining the theories of the said Elements.
"En!" Laura nodded with a smile and sat down on the chair. Before doing that, she turned around and blinked at one of the girls seated behind them.
She was her soon-to-be sister-in-law, Melissa Bloodloom, also one of her friends.
Melissa, indifferent toward anything, her expression one of boredom, turned her gaze to meet the girl gradually and slightly nodded her head without any change in expression.
For her, even if the entire people in the classroom suddenly died, she wouldn't give it much thought. Her life was already not hers so other affairs didn't interest her in the first place.
Eleanor, like every other day, continued to teach her class until late afternoon.
The instant class ended, Laura wanted to meet her friend and enjoy some time with her. However, when she looked back, Melissa had already disappeared.
When? The class just ended...
Hmm... Did she use Teleportation?
But, she is only in the middle stage of 2nd Star...
"Save your breath, dear sister... She didn't want to meet you, no... She doesn't want to meet anybody."
She heard her brother's cold voice and stuck her tongue out at him before preparing to leave.
"I'll just go meet her at her quarters... I will see how would she ignore me then," she said hurriedly and left toward her friend's room.
Cosmi didn't get up. He merely closed his eyes and thought: Now the teacher is gone and you've already seen that bitch, so... What do you think?
Just as he thought that a bewitching voice directly entered his mind.
Hehe~ She is like a doll, with no emotions whatsoever, how interesting... But that's the least important part... Hehe~ you got lucky, you little bastard...
Not minding how the voice talked, he suddenly raised his brow as he listened to her words and asked: What do you mean by I got lucky?
Hehe~ she has a...
...
Royal Captial, Royal Magician Palace.
Ursula seated on the chair, looked outside the window toward the majestic Palace in the distance and sighed.
"Who would have thought that the ruler of the Human Nation is a weirdo..."
Thinking about the fairy-like queen, she once again sighed in pity, "Poor girl..."
*Snap*
As she snapped her finger, multiple shadows of Dark abnormal creatures materialized in front of her.
She gazed at them, and asked, "Anything new?"
One of the cat-like creatures nodded and answered directly to her mind, "No. 6 and 7 have already infiltrated the Royal Library... All we need is time."
"Time... You've two days then," she said with a serious expression, "Go..."
With new orders, her Dark puppets vanished.
Massaging her temples, she closed her eyes and couldn't help but utter in a desperate tone, "Wait for me, child..."
...
Luke's grin widened as he opened his eyes, feeling the surge of Mana in his Chamber.
"Middle-Stage..." he muttered in excitement.
