Chapter 114: Why Were My Mages Blushing?
Seeing Caelith, none of them got surprised. As they were already expecting her appearance as well.
"Seems like many things have changed." Again, Caelith’s voice came, as she looked around with a melancholy look, like she was remembering her previous old days.
Nyx didn’t comment on this, because he often spent his time alone in the void. So he didn’t get much attached to the world.
And for Myrkhal, he was still smiling. Luke didn’t know why. But after the first encounter. Myrkhal had completely become silent and only talked occasionally.
When he asked Nyx about this, he answered. "Myrkhal is the most unpredictable among them." And he also added, that they don’t even know. If Myrkhal is really their brother or not. Though he didn’t explain that part and got silent.
After thinking all of this for a moment, Luke chose to stop asking. and concentrate on the present situation.
"Welcome, Miss Caelith." Luke, with a warm smile, greeted Caelith, upon this she paused and turned to look toward Luke.
’He called me here?? Did he also break the chains??’ and a confusing thought came into her mind.
Because she could feel, Luke was not strong enough, or even calling him strong compared to her peak, was totally absurd. ’Then how??’
An awkward silence spread among them. Because Caelith, suddenly became silent after his greeting and he didn’t know how to continue the conversation.
While Nyx and Myrkhal returned back to his shoulder, but were also not saying anything.
The System saw all of this, so to remove this awkward silence, he chose to appear.
[0-0] But that’s all the System showed.
Luke’s eyes twitched on this, but Caelith’s reaction was different. "It was you!" With a little high tone, she pointed toward the System screen and said.
She didn’t know why. but she felt this thing was there, when those words echoed in the surroundings, ’or maybe it was this one, who was echoing the words.’
"Miss Caelith, this is my System. who freed you." Luke, seeing another silence, spoke those words and explained to her.
That the System had bound them with him, which resulted in him being able to use their powers, though not fully.
’This!’ But Caelith got surprised from this, while Nyx and Myrkhal didn’t react much. Because they were already done that when they first met him, or at least Nyx did.
Feeling everything was totally out of her understanding, she chose to calm down. and stopped thinking about those things.
But when she saw Nyx and Myrkhal were sitting on Luke’s both shoulders, she got confused again. ’Do I also have to sit there? and if yes, then where?’
Seeing not any space left on Luke’s shoulder, she floated and settled on Luke’s head instead. "This will do."
That’s what Luke heard. on this he just smiled and chose to return toward the hut location.
"Master!" Upon reaching, Aurora instantly appeared in front of him, before hugging him tightly.
Luke felt suffocated by her tight embrace and also felt the soft sensation again. ’Ugh...’
"I am fine, Aurora." So, with difficulty, he uttered those words, on which Aurora’s grip finally loosened.
There Luke saw her eyes, that were a little moist. which brought a little guilt to him. Because he didn’t expect the whole Time Chamber to shake as well.
Aurielle and Vaelira also appeared from behind her, before Aurielle said angrily, "If you are going to do something dangerous again, then please let me come with you."
Also added. "Because you don’t listen to me at all."
On this, Luke lowered his gaze slightly with a sorry expression, but this brought a little blush to him. As there he could see Aurora’s cleavage clearly. ’So big!’ and this thought immediately came into his mind.
As most of the time Aurora wore knight armour or tight clothing. But today she was wearing a loose robe, which was becoming bad for his health.
Aurora was still hugging her master with a worried expression, without knowing that he was enjoying the view down there.
But next moment Luke turned his face away, to not let anyone know, what happened here.
After a moment, when he calmed down a little, Luke said to everyone, "All of you go back to your training, I will check on the mages." on this Aurora reluctantly separated from Luke.
While Aurielle gave a sus look toward Luke after noticing a small blush on his face. But before she could ask anything, he ran away towards the mages location.
’Definitely sus.’ She narrowed her eyes while looking toward Luke’s running figure and then turned toward Aurora’s breasts, which were almost the same size as hers. ’or maybe a little bigger.’ though the last part she didn’t believe.
---
"Uff! Finally safe." Luke took a sigh of relief, while removing the thought of Aurora’s hot body.
Then Caelith’s voice came from above, who was watching everything from the start. "Who were they?"
And this brought another blush to his face. ’Did she saw me? When my gaze turned to Aurora’s cleavage?’
But seeing she was not talking about that, he explained to her all the things, which happened after he was summoned to this world.
"Interesting." A little smile appeared on her golden pale face after hearing Luke story. Because in their time, there was not any being, who called themselves God. but now there are many.
But when Nyx mentioned, that Abyssal beings were still present, which worsened her mood a little.
Luke saw all this, but didn’t ask them. Because he doesn’t like to pry into information which doesn’t relate to him.
Though, Nyx already mentioned something about the Abyssal, which was enough for him.
After travelling for some time, he reached the location, which was a forest, that also had a large lake and some huts made from wood could also be seen in the vicinity.
But when he took a few more steps, he heard the playful sound of mages and water splashing coming from the front, which was covered with bushes and branches. "Hehe~ Elena, it seems like your breasts have become even bigger than before~"
’They are bathing.’ Luke got stunned and didn’t cross the bushes, but he still got baffled because today he was really running into these types of awkward situations too many times, which had not happened before.
"Ahhh, who’s there!" But then he heard a few startled shouts, and along came spell attacks.
Seeing this, Luke sighed and easily dodged them before shouting. "Can’t you even identify your master anymore!"
On this, complete silence spread from the other side, then came hasty rustling sounds, which were likely from them putting on their clothes.
"M-Master!" Then came their panicked and apologetic voices. But Luke didn’t say anything and waited for them.
Soon all ten mages appeared one by one, though because all of this happened suddenly and they didn’t get the time to dry themselves. So now their clothes were tightly clinging to their wet bodies.
’Damn it! Not again.’ Seeing their hot and wet bodies, Luke shook his head and accepted. That maybe someone was doing this, or else this would not have happened.
"Elena, tell me all of your progress in your mage realm." Elena, the healer mage, got worried, but after hearing her master’s question, because she thought that maybe her master was angry with their earlier shout, still she gathered her courage and told him.
"M-Master... I have completed the engraving of my first Arcane Circle and now I am a Circled Mage. (Circled Mage, third rank on the mage power classification, equal to a Bronze Knight.)"
Luke heard her words clearly, but he was not angry. Instead he got surprised. because mages trained very slowly and they also had few resources available for them.
And that’s why when he reached the Mage Tower, he asked Lucy about the potion which could help the mage realm.
But she said. "Only tower mages could buy those and for nobles, only viscounts and above could purchase."
She also added that even for nobles, they had to promise to provide help and support when they got attacked or were in need.
’This is clearly asking for them to become slaves to the tower.’ At that time Luke got angry because of this.
Sadly only the Mage Association held this potion strictly. and outside methods or resources for mages were too costly. ’Despite that, they were not available for normal purchases and only the Auction House could provide them.’
For that he was really grateful toward the Alchemist Association manager, for the Gold VIP card.
"I have to attend next month’s Auction for sure." Luke muttered in a normal voice, while Elena also told him the other mages progress as well.
"Everyone is at the peak of the Apprentice Realm and maybe in a few months, they would also be able to break through."
When she finished her sentence, the mages standing behind her, looked nervously toward their master. Hoping that he would not be dissatisfied with their progress.
Luke saw everyone’s face and understood this, so he reassured them. "Don’t worry, I am not angry." Which brought a sigh of relief from them.
"Here, is the gift for all of you." After that Luke brought out all the magic scrolls and magic books and even the 10 E-rank Origin Fruits for them. and now he had only 88 E-rank Origin Fruits left.
"Master, this!!!" But when they saw all these things, they became so shocked, because after living inside the territory and interacting with everyone.
They also knew some world knowledge, so they clearly knew. that even viscounts had to pay a hefty price for this. and for Origin Fruits, which were even more priceless.
Luke saw the hesitation on everyone’s face. Even Elena got paused.
He shook his head and said. "All of you are mine, as I am your master."
When Luke mentioned the part about, that they belonged to him, all of their faces turned a little red. though Luke didn’t notice this, but he heard the System’s voice along with the emoji.
[keke! 😏]
’What?’ Luke gave a weird look toward the System screen, while Nyx and Caelith were discussing something among themselves, as they had already returned inside his body along with Myrkhal.
Seeing the System was not answering, he chose to ignore him and continue. "So take it. and the next time don’t hesitate, or it will be an insult towards me."
When Luke mentioned the last part, all the mages faces turned pale and they apologized to Luke. Because for them, disrespecting their master was the most heinous crime, which they would never do.
After Luke distributed everything, he separately called one mage.
"Nora, come here." Nora, who was smiling happily after getting a gift from her master, heard his voice. So with her deep dark blue eyes, she looked toward him.
There he was calling her, on this a sly smile appeared on the surrounding mages, which Luke didn’t notice, but Nora saw this and a blush appeared on her cheeks. ’Does master want to do something?’
With those thoughts, she moved slowly toward him with her long wet black hair, as it clung tightly to her robes.
Luke saw the smile on the surrounding mages and just thought, ’Maybe they were happy with the gift.’ and then shifted his attention toward Nora.
When he observed her, he noticed that how he always missed how beautiful his female summons were.
Because right now Nora, with her dark blue eyes and long black hair, could easily win the beauty competition if she was compared to baron noble daughters.
Soon Nora reached toward him and gave him a shy smile, which enhanced her beauty even more.
"Cough!" Luke coughed slightly to concentrate and gave her the basic formation books of Alarm, Barrier, Defense and some more. Because in the territory, only she was a Barrier Mage.
"Nora, I want you to learn this. And after that you have to surround our Lord Estate with these formations."
When she heard her master’s words, she got stunned, then shook her head at her earlier thought and looked curiously toward the new books, which her master had just presented to her.
After checking them slightly, she raised her eyes to look into his eyes and with a smile she nodded. "Sure, Master."
"Good." Luke also smiled and patted her head, which brought another blush to Nora’s face. while the surrounding mages gave a longing look toward Luke and thought, ’Why is master not caressing us?’
Luke didn’t notice their looks and soon returned back to the secluded area, for training his abilities.
