Saga of Atlantis - Chapter 104 Sarah Is Dangerous.

104  Sarah Is Dangerous.

[First person POV: Eden]

“So, it’s been a long time since humans started learning how to use mana and aura. Even now, many people still think of aura users, whom we call knights, are fighters without finesse.”

A man in his late thirties with neatly combed hair and a good looking face said as he roamed in front of the class.

“As someone who uses aura myself, I agree; our goal is to win, not to showcase style,” he continued, glancing around.

“However, Mana users don’t fight just for elegance either. Ultimately, both mana and aura are tools for power.”

“The most basic way to differentiate between mages and knights is that mages use mana outside their bodies, like spells or element manipulation, while knights use aura from the inside of their bodies. ”

“They strengthen their muscles or bones, until they are strong enough to project aura outside their bodies, like aura coating.”

“So, this ultimately leaves us with a question: which path is better, the knight’s path or the mage’s path?”

Murmurs circulated through the class as his question lingered in the air.

“Well, let me answer that question. For now, when you are at the lower Origin Level, without a doubt, the knight’s path is better.”

“But that doesn’t mean it’s absolute. While it may be harder for mages initially, once they learn how to coat mana over their bodies and gain experience with weapons or combat, mages can also win against knights at lower levels as well.”

“Knights are better will remain true until you all reach the mid-Origin level, which is level 5. After that, mages will have fewer restrictions when using mana, making it easier for them to catch up with knights.”

“Nonetheless, in the end, knights will always have an advantage over mages unless they learn how to use high-ranking spells or long-range spells, ensuring that knights can’t get close for hand-to-hand combat.”

“Any questions?” He asked as he smiled softly.

Emily, sitting beside me for who knows why, immediately raised her hand.

Just beside her was Fatima who is never leaving Emily’s side and a few desk below me was Aron, Cassia and Nora.

They are keeping their distance with me since yesterday and I am pretty sure it is because of that old man.

“Professor Alvin, if what you are saying is true, will this always remain the same if both mages and knights reach a level higher than the Origin Level and have a battle?”

“Good question,” he said, gesturing for her to sit down as he answered. “First of all, it will be almost impossible for most of those present here to reach that level because it takes talent, hard work, and necessary luck, which I doubt any of you guys have.”

His statement created loud grunts of disagreement from the students, but he chose to ignore it.

“Back to the topic, the short answer to Miss Emily’s question is that it cannot be determined,” he said, emphasizing his last words. “Many things can affect the answer, such as their fighting style, their arts, how fast mages can create a spell, or how fast the knights can counter-attack. All these factors will affect the end result. Mainly, the result will depend on whether you can exploit the weakness of the other.”

“That is why the complete path, the person who could use both mana and aura, is known to be the strongest on the same level than others because they pretty much don’t have any weaknesses.”

“But even those who walk on the complete path do not always go far in their lives, as it takes double the effort for them to level up in both the mana and aura paths, making the complete path only taken by those who are either idiots, overconfident in their talent, or those who belong to one of the ancient families.”

‘Fuck this; I already know all this’, I grumbled in my thoughts as I placed my head on the desk.

All the things he is telling, I already know that; most of this knowledge was taught to me by Sylvia, and the rest I found myself when I was traveling the world in my two years of time.

“You look grumpy today, Eden,” Fatima, sitting beside Emily, said.

I shifted my gaze, only to find her looking at me curiously. Aall 𝒏𝒆west ch𝒂pt𝒆rs on n.o./v𝒆l𝒃i/n/(.)c𝒐m

“Shut it, idiot, or I will crush Cardin’s next generation in his pants,” I rebuked before shifting my gaze to the ground.

“Ohh, if you can, I humbly request that you please do so, Eden,” she replied with a little chuckle, as if she were joking, but she is dead serious about it.

She, like the rest of the Duke’s daughters, is in her rebellious phase and does not want to get married off without being able to have any chance to have a say in it.

They will always try to keep their distance from their fiancés, even if they are genuinely trying to show their love.

And this is the reason Aron has an easy time capturing them; they themselves want to have a romantic love rather than an arranged love.

[But why are you grumpy, Eden?]

‘Shut! up! Edda!’

‘You better not bring my mom into this!’

[When you were about to have sex with Sarah–]

‘You better not!’

[Your mother arrived right in time to cockblock you, haha!]

‘Fuck you, Edda!’

“Huff..huff..”

I inhaled a deep breath as I tried to calm myself down, desperately attempting to keep my composure.

As she said last night, when I was about to cross the line with Sarah, my mother arrived at the exact moment when I was about to undress her.

And like a cat stealing fish, Sarah ran away from my room before I could understand what was happening.

‘She is dangerous,’ I thought as I remembered how Sarah was able to make me feel.

She was eerily natural at it, as if she knew about all my sensitive parts.

But, most importantly, why did she do that?

She destroyed the wholesome relationship that we had between us.

I could never see her the way I saw her before yesterday.

She was like a second mother to me; she had been taking care of me since I could remember.

And how could someone feel good doing that with their own mother?

[You do remember,you were feeling awfully good when she gave you a blowjob.]

‘Shut up, Edda!’ I screamed at her. ‘Not a single word again; just be quiet.’

Anyway, I have to be more careful around her. I don’t know if she is doing this for fun or if she is serious about me.

That is why I like obsessed girls; at least I know they will never leave me, even if they get to know I have more than one girl around me.

…That is another matter when they will try to kill that said girl for having all my affection for themselves, but at least I know they won’t leave me, unlike Sarah, who is more mature and can even leave if she ever knows that.

And I don’t want that.

Hmm?” I lifted my gaze as I felt a presence on my desk.

“Ivy?” I mumbled as I looked at the contracted fairy of Aeloria.

“Hi, Eden!” She said this, waving her hand as she sat in front of me.

“What are you doing here?” I asked as I brought forward my index finger in front of her face.

“I wanted to see you,” she replied, rubbing her face on my finger. “You feel much better to be with.”

“Why do you say so?” I asked, touching both her cheeks with my index finger and thumb.

“I don’t know; I just feel better to be with you,” she replied, sitting on my palm that I opened up for her. “Even Ria tried to ask me about it, but I couldn’t give her a specific answer.”

“Aeloria asked?”

“Hmm, she did.”

“Ivy, do me a favor and try to make her talk to me, please?”

“Leave it to me!” She replied, patting her chest. Her fully exposed one piece showed down to her navel, and it didn’t hide as her breast jiggled a little.

“Anyway, Ivy, am I the only one with whom you feel like this?” I asked as I was curious about her behavior.

Will every fariy I meet be as friendly with me as she is?

That will be quite awesome.

“Hmm,” she hummed, placing her hands under her chin as she made a thought full expression.

“No,” she replied, shaking her head. “I don’t remember or heard about any mortal like you.”

“What about the gods, then?” I asked as I heard her.

“Yess! You know, every time I am with you, your presence does feel a little like the one I feel when I am with ‘Mother’.”

“Mother?”

“Yes! You mortals also worship her, don’t you?”

“She is, after all, the Goddess Of Life and Creation.”

Creation is hard, cheer me up! VOTE for me!
