Chapter 665 Planning Ahead
-----
"P-Prodigy?! A-All magic elements?" Aquafina was shocked. "T-That's… Ugh! Agh!"
"Blake has already proven he can conjure every single element of magic incredibly proficiently, Aquafina, now, would you please- Eh? Aquafina, are you alright?!"
FRSSSSH!
"AAAGH!!" Aquafina screamed, as her overweight body suddenly lost a lot of weight, steam coming out of her entire body. "W-What's happening to me?!"
Well, in simple terms, I made the enhancements and buffs in her body spend her stamina and calories in her body at an incredibly fast pace, making her lose her extra weight, which was rather bad for her health, I've seen her overly tired for just walking around the academy.
"Don't worry, you will thank me about that later. Make sure to eat more healthy from now on, Miss Aquafina." I said, walking away.
Like that, I had no more problems with Monica, and the classes since that day went surprisingly smoothly. Monica slowly approached me, asking for forgiveness at the end.
Of course, I am not someone that holds grudges against unexperienced young people, so I easily accepted her apologies and decided to train her and her entire party in basic Magic Circle Formation Formula.
This academy teaches Magic Circle formation as well, but their formulas are very restrictive and asks for too much Mana, seems like this world's magic is a bit too behind the Universe where I came from.
Aside from teaching those with a lot of magical power new magic they can use to make sure to use their full magical potential, I taught some spells to Monica to better utilize her curses and enhance them.
Moving on, Ash's party joined Rosen, Catherine, and Eduard's parties into daily physical exercises, with Woo, Claw, and Emeraldine supervising their exercises and Ki Manipulation and Cultivation training.
Some Professors in the academy, and students from older classes had been complaining a lot though, especially over all the noise we make in the yards and training areas, but they couldn't stop us.
My own party has been working hard as well, and of course, I've been training and strengthening my foundation as much as possible. Slowly absorbing Demon Cores for Demonic Energy, drinking Dragon Elixirs, cultivating Ki, imbuing my magic circle with Runes, and more.
By the end of the month, and the beginning of the second, everyone had grown much stronger. The growth was much more obvious in those that were already weak. Those that didn't had it before, now possessed a Magic Circle and awakened Ki, and had gotten used to manipulate Ki and Magic through their new Magic Circles.
The result in growth was incredibly clear, all of their Magic Power simply skyrocketed, multiplying at least four times, their physical fitness was at least twice or even thrice as strong too. They were very weak before, but I guess they were half-decent now.
Of course, I haven't spent all the time just training, I've done plenty of other things. I spent time with my friends mostly, we went shopping at the several districts several times, went to eat to fancy restaurants, and went on a date with Erika, Elizabeth, and Eleanora across the four weeks of the month.
Erika is as lovey-dovey as always, although she has begun to seem slightly more troubled, especially about what is happening regarding her family, and how they had intended to assassinate her back then. Her mother is with us most of the time, but she has started to worry about her too.
Elizabeth has been a clear pillar to my own mental stability aside from Erika, with all the responsibilities and things I am doing at once, her soothing voice and comforting personality has helped me a lot. She's beginning to get bolder with me though, her advances on me are sometimes quite risky.
Last but not least, Eleanora has become less shy about everything, and is beginning to slowly open up some more with me. Although most of the time I act romantically with her, she begins to stutter and blushes until she is as red as an apple, and doesn't know how to react properly… But that's also part of the fun, I think that part of her is exceedingly adorable.
Moving back to Erika's topic regarding the Goldriver Kingdom's political drama, although we know of the things Sathan has been doing and planning, without proper evidence, we cannot easily recriminate her in the Kingdom, and because she's a rather favorite daughter of the King, he might believe her much better and protect her.
Therefore, perhaps, the only thing we can do is wait until the Cultists strike again, catch them, and extract information from them, before it was impossible because their minds and souls were warped and twisted as they were eaten by their contracted Archdemons… but that's about to change when I use a special spell I've designed.
Once we can catch them when they attempt to ambush us somehow, we'll be able to learn much more, and eventually, possibly, find their hideout, and where might Sathan be in all of this, alongside her accomplices in this entire thing.
We've begun to speculate with Erika's mother, my friends, and Director Hasan, that the Cult of Beelzebub does not just worship him, but it is a wide-spread mega cult that spreads around the entire Central Continent. If their current worshipped Archdemon is gone from the map, they simply moved on to others.
And knowing how greedy all of them are, they've most likely begun an unification with the former Beelzebub Cult to take over the Central Continent while they can. The two other Archdemons residing in this continent through their Demon Towers are the obvious choices of their new alliance, as I doubt they would have multi-continental alliances with other cults in different continents.
For now, I've spread my mechanical spiders I've remade even better and stealthier across Stronghold City, while also beginning to spread my small spy golems further into new horizons, as I sent several flying ones to the capital of Goldriver, where Sathan should be, and most likely, the headquarters of the cult…
