The person before her had just killed a (Purple) monster with no effort at all.
He was as skilled as a professor in the Dawn academy she was so eager to join and was training to get into.
The great academy of hope, opportunities, and life, [Dawn] was a place everyone wanted to join.
A world that the supreme sovereign of all existence had created with THEIR physical body's sacrifice.
THEY have also created three special gates to allow people all over the world who wished, hoped, and prayed for an opportunity, access to this special academy.
From normal folks, orphans like her, to even the royals and offsprings of the monarchs attended this place.
Though this place was equal to everyone and individual status or rank or connections to superior beings did not matter, there were still rankings for the type of class one can attend.
There were two types of evaluations in the academy.
One was an overall evaluation which not only saw one's overall power through a special
And the second evaluation was the combat ability test.
All those who could achieve high marks in both of them had the highest chance to join the
One could join this class on different criteria, but this entrance test was the best and surest way for a non-privileged commoner like her to get into that special class and achieve something great.
And for that, she was desperate to get as strong as she could before next week.
"That's it." As she told him the reason, another bright smile was painted on his face and her legs trembled even more after seeing that.
Every time she saw this person, she felt a strange sense of attraction and belonging. It was as if she belonged to him and that she must do anything for him.
This was as if she was charmed by seduction magic far more powerful than her own.
She was a succubus, and she knew she was talented as well as special.
She was also beautiful from a young age, so many people had tried to take advantage of her.
Once, when she was on the verge of falling victim to something terrible, her succubus powers woke up. Her seduction ability alone was strong enough for those 'powerful' men to happily kill themselves at her order.
At first, she thought it was a scary ability but, as she got the hang of it, she understood that this was a great help to a being like her.
So, she practised it and made it a lot stronger than she could ever think.
But that same power was useless before this person. She could not even control it, much less properly look him in the eyes.
Even after she offered him her body, he refused it... for the time being, hopefully.
And even gave her a precious gift like this dress that seemed to be as strong as a [Grade-2] protection armour and a neckband rose ornament that had healing abilities.
'A strange man...'
He created all this with (Creation Magic), the hardest type of magic that firstly requires a natural innate talent to master.
And, creating something like these clothes meant that he was no normal existence.
This young-looking one was no simple existence and in terms of pure strength, he was at least stronger than the usual [Awakened entities] that she had seen until now.
So, receiving teachings from him would be something she can't say no to. Since she was in a tough spot right now, she did not really have any other choice either.
'He's pretty sexy as well...'
Being a succubus, even as a pure one, she could feel another person's 'experience' and compatibility.
There had not been anyone that she could not read with her special powers until now, but this being... Adrian, was a blank slate to her.
"I have to get stronger. I must... getting into the special class is the only way I can get a good enough position where I at least don't have to hide myself."
"Hmmm. Fair enough. Getting a higher rank than your limitations in anything you do should be the goal. Ok, let's go back to a nearby city." He sighed helplessly and extended his hand before her.
He was being polite by asking for her hand instead of just grabbing it, which simply was romantic in her eyes.
"Excuse me, then."
Maybe... he will take her and fly to the city that was at least three hours away.
It would be romantic to fly all the way there.
Just... thinking about it, thinking about them flying through the vast sky of her homeland, turned her red like wine once again.
And he could not help his new simile as he saw this adorable reaction of hers.
=Aqarit.
He muttered something, and an inaudible noise echoed all around them.
-Oooooooong.
With a flash of blue light, both of them vanished and... reappeared on the faraway hill before the city.
They had crossed the distance of three hours in less than three seconds.
"Holy shit..." she simply could not believe it.
This was different from all the magic she knew.
This was not elemental or non-elemental magic. It also was not a skill. This was... something of his own. For the first time in her life, she was seeing an original magic. Something she did not understand, and something that simply... she could not ignore it.
"Teleportation... with water?" She mumbled under her breath and looked deep into his eyes for the first time, a unique curiocity present in her own pretty eyes.
"It's more like recreation of one's whole physical body to a different place in space-time.
In teleportation, you transport the matter from one place to another.
The method that I just used, you first need a precise understanding of all the space and the locations. Then, you dismantle the information body of the physical form and recreate it in a different place."
His explanation was strangely easy to understand even though she had never even heard a few terms he was using.
"Normal spell (Teleport) is, as you may know, something limited to beings of (tier-4) and above. It will be hard for you to learn as a mortal, or as a new Awakened one. But, you might learn it if you keep working diligently. But..." He paused for a moment, and slowly moved his fingers around her pretty face which had come a little too close.
"If you have an unreal affinity with a natural element, you can do something like this without even being an awakened." She was stunned.
Her breaths that he felt on his face were hot as well.
She wasn't moving. And he knew she wasn't listening to anything he had just said either.
"You're adorable, Zora." As tough as she may be, to him, she was simply a little girl.
He was smiling like she was some child asking an adult about something cool, and that damn smile... she knew she won't be able to control herself the next time, he smiles at her like that.
