Curse The Mainframe - Chapter 438
Katherine stopped after she went through the entire set again.
She breathed in and out, her thoughts in a daze. Her eyes were hazy as her mind flashed through everything that she had gone through in that undetermined amount of time.
So many days, and she had not slept nor rested a single bit, yet her body remained in its peak condition. She was indeed a little tired now.
Anyone else would have collapsed long before this, even though their bodies did not fatigue nor hunger in this strange pagoda.
If it weren’t for her strong mentality, she would not have been able to overcome the mental strain that this caused.
However, she had been wholly immersed in her wonderful bout of learning that had finally come to an end.
She clenched her fists and felt shocked and delighted. How could her strength increase this much?
The state that she had been in had been so wonderfully addicting that she knew she would never be able to obtain something else that would cause of her have bursts of inspiration continuously.
She was overjoyed.
She had broken through to Meister, and she’d finally achieved what she had set for herself since she’d been a little girl.
Her heart beat frantically as she delighted in the feeling of strength. Perhaps this time, she would be able to hear her brother say that he was proud of her.
She looked around and found that in the room, there was no one else beside her.
Where was Le Xuan and her teacher?
Ye Sha who had been forgotten just like that could only blame his lack of presence in the team. Who told him to be mainly interested in eating? He didn’t even offer Katherine any!
Hmph, she would definitely not become friends with anyone who did not bother to offer her any.
Thus, she set off looking for Le Xuan first.
Her teacher would be fine, of that she had no doubt. But Le Xuan… well. Sometimes she was a bit ditzy, which made her… not so much worry, but a bit concerned.
Even a person like Katherine wondered how she could be like that sometimes. The other girl was a good friend, and a good informant, but… she had zero life skills! She couldn’t cook, clean, or do any housework at all. The only good thing was that she wasn’t lazy or a slob.
Compared to Katherine, she was even more of a pampered princess.
Katherine found Le Xuan in a room a few floors up.
The arrays that had confused and bewildered her naturally parted for her when she finished her training session.
Unlike her, Le Xuan was still deeply in that state, but she didn’t look any worse for wear, so Katherine looked in the other rooms, wanting to find her teacher.
She didn’t find him next but instead found Ye Sha (who did not offer her any ch.i.p.s).
She made a disgusted face, and Ye Sha’s eyes opened.
“Hey, I saw that look.”
Katherine’s look of contempt increased even more, and Ye Sha spread his hands helplessly.
The reason for her look was because Ye Sha had obviously been eating nonstop while he was here even though their body did not need any food or water.
There were various packets lying around on the ground, making a mess.
Ye Sha stood up and brushed his pants, dusting off all the crumbs.
“You’re finally done?” he said lazily. He’d been done for a while.
He attributed it to his body being made out of the finest materials, which meant that he literally had no bottlenecks when it came to his own cultivation. It was very smooth, and magic kept pouring into his body.
However, when it entered Katherine’s ears, it sounded like he was mocking her.
It became something like ‘I finished long ago and had all this time to eat ch.i.p.s, but you still weren’t done. There was nothing else for me to do, so I resorted to eating while I was waiting for you.’
Katherine glared at him, but she didn’t say anything.
“Where’s Alec?” Ye Sha asked.
“I’m trying to find him,” she said grudgingly. “Le Xuan is still downstairs in cultivation.”
“Oh.”
Before Katherine could open her mouth, Ye Sha continued to speak again. “I’ll go down to look for him. You go up.”
Ye Sha’s eyes were shifty. Why would he go up when they all needed to meet at the bottom to get out again anyway?
He could save some effort by going down first!
Katherine didn’t say anything. She just turned around and left, heading up the stairs. She was too lazy to exchange more words with this person.
She looked in every room, and she found another two people – one was a teenaged girl while the other was a middle-aged man.
She didn’t disturb them and just left without another word.
The only one that she was unable to find was her teacher.
Where was he?
At last, she finally reached a room at the top floor, which was obviously different from the other rooms, and she raised her brows with admiration.
Her teacher really entered what appeared to be the best room. That was great! She opened the door, but there wasn’t anyone inside.
Katherine blinked, but she still entered.
This place look like a bedroom, and she looked around, confused. Where was he?
She went towards the balcony, and she looked outside, only to be stunned.
Why were there so many people now?
Her eyes rove around, but she could see an endless amount of people who were walking around, making the previous ghost town seem like it was just her imagination.
Now that there were various people, they all seemed to be walking around and doing trades and other things.
It had completely turned into a lively city.
If Katherine didn’t know better, she would have thought that it was an illusion.
But… she spotted a few Klein Clan members that she recognized!
She stared closer at them, trying to discern if they were real or not.
“They’re real.” A voice spoke behind her, causing her to jump.
She turned around, only to be greeted with a gorgeous woman. Her figure was full, and her face was delicate but s.e.xy. She wore clothes that covered herself up, but they could not hide the fullness of her figure, and she was undoubtedly alluring.
Katherine was wary. “Who are you?”
“Me?” the woman said, her lips curling. “Who are you? This is my bedroom,” she said playfully.
Katherine paused. She hid her embarrassment. “I see. My apologies about intruding. I was looking for my teacher, and this is the only room that I have yet to search through.”
Marisel c.o.c.ked her eyebrow. “You may call me Marisel,” she said, “I believe your teacher is now my disciple. That makes me… your grand master?”
Marisel’s tone was playful.
Katherine was startled before she quickly responded. “My name is Katherine Klein.”
Marisel looked at her curiously. “You’re also an Awakening type? That’s great!”
Katherine frowned, her eyes narrowing. How did she know that she was an Awakening Magitype? Had she peeked during the time that she was training?
Before she could think further about it, Marisel grabbed her hand before she could react.
Katherine was stunned. She’d already become a Meister, but this woman was even quicker than she was!
Marsiel dragged Katherine to the wooden door at the side before Katherine could even blink.
“Let’s go,” Marisel said with excitement.
