But of course, I wouldn't let her die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone...?\" she repeated my words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her scent, soft and floral with a hint of something warm and intoxicating, wrapped around me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was already used to it, so it didn't affect me much, but for others, it might be quite deadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was it a woman?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pink eyes narrowed ever so slightly, and though her lips carried the faintest hint of a smile, her tone was still quite sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does that matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't answer right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she leaned forward, just enough for her golden hair to spill over her shoulders. Her intoxicating scent grew stronger, wrapping around me like a warm, suffocating blanket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just curious... After all, in most the cases when you saved someone, at least ninety percent of them were women.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, it really was a woman, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips seemed to have widened as she gauged my reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wasn't like that... besides, I save mostly women because they usually get harassed by some dumb heir of a prestigious family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a step forward, making me take a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's their business, why do you have to chime in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice turned sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't get it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tried to take another step back, but the wall behind me put an end to that idea. Her gaze pinned me in place, and I could feel another chill running down my back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can't you simply not help them? And stop being so selfless?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm not selfless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well... this body might be, but I'm not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, we stood there, looking at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers tapped lightly against her arm as she stared at me, and then, with a soft sigh, she leaned back, giving me some much-needed space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm done with you.\" she sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, I took the opportunity to go towards the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, before leaving, I couldn't help but glance at her...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gazed out the window, the light from the stained glass cast colorful patterns across her figure, making her look almost ethereal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Aestrea?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice made my steps halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was soft, almost too soft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next time, try not to get yourself killed. It would be… inconvenient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way she said inconvenient sent a shiver down my spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would simply go to a priest next time, although their powers aren't as good as the Saintess, they at least can help me for a fair price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, if I needed to actually pay for the Saintess's services, how much debt would I have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably in tens of thousands...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm so lucky that I can use her services without paying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Christina turned back to me, her smile back to its usual serene self, though her eyes still held that unsettling glint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Now, go on. I'm sure you have… things to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't have to tell me twice, I twisted the knob of the door and got out of that room. Being alone with the Saintess is much scarier than anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo! How did it go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John who was waiting at the door turned to me with a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm never coming back to meet her...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That bad?\" he raised an eyebrow in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that bad, just your usual scary Saintess. When I'm alone with her, she always sounds scarier than normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I probably won't be seeing her as much, since I now live with a deviant. And even though, the Holy Nation can't exactly kill them...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's better to hide the slime girl from the Saintess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she finds out, I could get in trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For that reason, I'll need to meet the Saintess fewer times than normal. I only went to the Saintess because her services were free, and her power was stronger than the priest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, I have quite a hefty amount of money, so I'll use it for the priests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can't risk the opportunity of her getting to see that slime girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm kidding obviously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded, taking a deep look at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, you know she cares about you, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked at him, caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Saintess...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He replied with a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She cares for you more than you think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could respond, he gave me a small nod and walked off, leaving me standing there, staring after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cares about me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is quite obvious considering her reaction when I get injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the way he said it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feels like...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She likes me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... whatever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I left the cathedral and decided to go around the capital for a bit more. I really wanted to check the training range that was so popular around here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, instead of implementing a training zone for the Royal Academy, they decided to create a public one so they could maximize profits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This proposal was also made by Violet when she was a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a kid, she proposed making the training ground public to generate revenue for the kingdom, and it worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, people from all over come here to hone their skills or show off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So yeah, this training zone was a huge success and anyone can pay to enter while students from the Royal Academy use their student's points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I arrived, the training range was as busy as I'd expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rows of targets, dummy stations, sparring areas—it was packed with people of all skill levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clashing of swords, the sounds of arrows hitting targets, and the occasional boom of magic spells filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I made my way to the shooting section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the more crowded areas, this one had fewer people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guns weren't as popular in the world as they were considered useless because no one could actually create a gun artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could create it.. but it would be a pretty hefty amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a gun has too many components, and they need bullets to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, who would spend items that could create a powerful sword to create bullets or one of the few components of the gun?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So yeah, the choice was always traditional weapons or a wand for magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clerk at the counter looked up as I approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A rental gun?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Personal\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long do you plan to train?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An hour, for now, might stay longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"10 silvers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her words, I handed over the coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lane four.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She added, pointing words the lane I was supposed to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked forward and then pulled the morph-weapon which was now similar to a modified desert eagle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I reached out to the difficulty meter and put expert mode for handguns. And also tapped on the magic bullet options which made the targets gain a magic field around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were set up about two meters apart from each other, and one twenty meters away from me—standard for expert mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was just aim training, I didn't want to spend more money for a simulation or advanced technology since I still had a few things in store to buy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I might buy an artifact so... I don't really know how much I'll spend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright... let's warm up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised the gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first shot hit the outer ring of the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm... not too bad. And I like I thought... I have infinite bullets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this morph weapon, I didn't have to worry about running out of ammo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each shot fired from the gun drained a bit of my mana, but since the weapon was crafted as a whole artifact, it automatically reloaded itself when I reverted it to its original form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullets weren't just regular ones either—they matched the weapon's quality, a high-grade artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, I almost forgot that this weapon is a high-grade artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That means... I can make a blood contract with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bitting my finger, I let a drop of blood fall into the gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as it made contact, the weapon glowed with an intense red light. The glow spread quickly, wrapping around the gun before it vanished entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at my left hand, where a faint warmth lingered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tattoo of a ring had appeared on my index finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I grinned, channeling a bit of mana into the tattoo. The gun materialized in my hand instantly, feeling even more natural now, as if it had become a part of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this blood contract, even if someone tried to take it away from me, I could simply summon it back to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now all I needed to do was train for the academy's competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I aimed the gun ahead, ready to start training again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not like there's going to be a random demon beast attack while I'm here, right?\" I muttered to myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'll just train peacefully...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words had barely left my mouth when the ground shook beneath me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening roar echoed across the training zone, deep and guttural, vibrating through the air like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose as another roar shattered the stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the distance, I heard someone yell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a Bulking Demon!
