Chapter 973: 16.19 First Red Star - Try it. It"s all yours.
At the North Dormitories...
The human dormitories are filled with both ordinary and special humans. They were likewise surprised to see their Holy Son return, led by two Templar Temple Cardinals with broken right arms. Holy elements alone cannot cure the twisted bones. They couldn"t figure out why such a basic ailment couldn"t be cured by their skills, particularly the light elements held by the Holy Son.
Esther Dawn and Amber Dawn were taken aback by the present status of Asher Light. He wore a sling over his shoulder and hung his right hand from it.
"What happened to you?" exclaimed Esther Dawn.
While checking on Asher"s right arm and wrist, Amber Dawn said, "Your wrist bone isn"t broken but dislocated. Though for some reason I can reconnect your bones. Where did you go?"
"Headmaster"s Office. I reported what happened to you. But... Overdone it and got punished by Instructor Skoll when I tried to attack the School Headmaster." Asher Light storied.
As Instructor Skoll"s name was uttered, the two siblings" expressions changed into somber and gloomy. They had firsthand observed that person"s prowess and experienced his suppression. Even though he appears to be unconcerned about the world, once he makes his move, things are likely to alter. An individual who possesses the strength and ability to affect change in the world is believed to be at the pinnacle of power.
Amber Dawn scolded the Holy Son on the spot, "Are you crazy?! Do you not want your life anymore!? Be thankful he only broke a wrist. Of all the people in this academy you had to choose the Headmaster, obviously, the relationship between Instructor Skoll and the Headmaster is not simple. No wonder he got angry."
"S-Sorry... I was just too angry. Those students tried to kill you! I just wanted them to be gone." Asher Light said while avoiding Amber Dawn"s eyes. This was the first time he had seen this girl angry. "The Headmaster wasn"t furious about what I"ve done and told me that they would investigate what happened to your case. It"s just that I am suspended and couldn"t leave the dorm for one week. So~"
"I didn"t ask you to do that!" Amber Dawn said. "Didn"t you almost die because of it!?"
"That... Because of my temper that I..."
"No more excuses. Get inside the dorm and rest. Your hand would heal on its own."
After delivering these remarks, Amber Dawn walks away. She was clearly furious that Asher Light had nearly lost his life again, and this time it was due to her. She was both delighted and irritated. After all, aside from her brother, Esther, only Asher was good to her in this strange world.
The Holy Son panicked when he saw Amber walking away, "A-Amber?" Unfortunately, now that he had returned to the dormitory, his punishment was in effect. He can no longer leave the male dormitories unless his punishment is finished.
Esther Dawn said, "Don"t worry. She would talk to you again after she finished getting angry. Let"s go to the dormitories for now so his highness can rest."
"Sigh~ Okay..." said Asher Light. "Esther, can you send someone to investigate the ident.i.ties of the Headmaster and Instructor Skoll?"
"Sure, leave it to me." Esther Dawn said.
Then he remembered Conri Lycaon"s expression when he had just saved Amber Dawn. His face darkened simply thinking about that unpleasant dog"s look as he stared at his treasure.
"Don"t forget to send someone to guard Amber. I think she caught the attention of Conri Lycaon and Athan Vladimir."
"How could that be!? I will send the strongest people from my side." Esther Dawn said in a state of disbelief.
Asher Light warned once again, "Have someone watch the side of Conri Lycaon. I don"t feel like he is up to something good."
"I will make sure Amber is not alone at all times."

Back to the Headmaster"s Office...
Ca.s.sius Ambrosia was currently sitting on the couch, chewing on rose petals, taking a break from his duties. These roses feed on Fenrir Skoll"s blood and can be termed roses from the heavens because the blood of a G.o.d was utilized as fertilizer to boost their production. This rose is like a delectable supplement for a vampire like Ca.s.sius Ambrosia, who has never tasted blood since birth.
Fenrir Skoll understood that his wife from this world could not eat anything like humans. Human food tastes like sand to him, while fresh animal blood and flesh taste like mildew if his wife tries it. After all, Ca.s.sius Ambrosia, like his wife"s soul part, was a Deviant G.o.d who was not supposed to exist in this world.
The world is rejecting him, and no matter what the celestial rules of this world do, they will not be able to exterminate this bug known as Ca.s.sius Ambrosia. Instead, it chooses to disregard it. This time, however, Fenrir Skoll, this cannon fodder was abruptly replaced by an outsider soul that is more powerful than the bug known as Ca.s.sius Ambrosia. The Divine Laws were suppressed as the Real G.o.d of this world. It chooses to ignore these two and treat them as if they don"t exist as long as they don"t harm his world.
Fenrir Skoll has the Nether System Mall, which allows him to redeem resources that are only available in the Upper World. He purchased blood-nourishing herbs and mythological beast meat that his wife can undoubtedly consume. He doesn"t require a point to redeem anything as he is the Lord of the Nether System. He is free to take anything he desires. But it needs
to be replaced when he returns back to their original world.
He was really wearing his wife"s crystal snowflake earring. He didn"t put it on his ears because he was concerned about breaking or losing it. Yet, because the miniature world in that snowflake crystal was made entirely with his wife"s aura, everything that could be consumed in there was compatible for both of them to eat.
Fenrir Skoll carved a rose petal pastry and placed it on a little dish in the shape of a rose.
Comparable to floral pastries from the ancient world, but prepared using contemporary methods. The outside of the sh.e.l.l is rather crunchy, but the inside is soft and creamy. The materials chosen were heavenly treasures that even G.o.ds would yearn for. Without a doubt!
He put his blood in it so his vampire wife could eat it.
Ca.s.sius Ambrosia noticed the rose-shaped pastry on a little gold plate served on the table in front of him by his mutt. He believed he could eat this little thing after smelling the fragrance of flowers, milk, and sugar as well as Fenrir Skoll"s blood.
Fenrir Skoll said, "Try it. If you can eat this I will make some more for you tonight."
"You... Did you use your blood for this thing as well?" asked Ca.s.sius Ambrosia.
Fenrir Skoll chuckles as he could see the shock in his wife"s argent eyes.
"Chuckles~ Try it. It"s all yours. Don"t worry about that bit of blood. You won"t be able to drain me even if you take it for a lifetime."
"Why don"t you try it first?"
Ca.s.sius Ambrosia fixes his gaze on the spoon of pastry in front of him. He simply paused for a few seconds before opening his lips slightly. Fenrir Skoll grinned as he gently fed him. Ca.s.sius" mouth overflows with a faint taste of sweetness and blood once the pastry lands on his tongue.
That was a hundred times better than the roses he was snacking on. Inside his crystalline irises, a glimmer of light emerged. It didn"t taste like sand as it had before when he sampled human food.
Ca.s.sius Ambrosia said, "Not bad."
The Werewolf Ancestor smiled and didn"t ask anything about the taste. His wife"s small reaction was proof enough that he was successful in creating food that suited his tastes. His wife"s favorite food is sweets. Moreover, he used to eat all the time before, and it was upsetting to see him not eating at all.
"I knew you would love this. You love eating sweets and pastries the most."
Ca.s.sius Ambrosia was perplexed by the words Fenrir Skoll had just stated. As though this man had known him since the beginning. He could still remember his expression the first time he murdered him. As he materialized before his eyes, his eyes exhibited astonishment, and despite dying under his own hands, Ca.s.sius had never seen wrath or fury inside those crimson eyes. There are instead yearning and deep emotions, he had no understanding about.
As they spend more time together, the confusion that rattled his heart grows deeper. Yet he permitted this individual to remain by his side because he knew deep within his soul that this person would not hurt him in any way. Despite the fact that he was aware that this man was concealing a great deal about himself from him.
Ca.s.sius looks at Skoll, who was about to serve him another pastry. His body moves first, followed by his mouth opening to be fed. Fenrir Skoll appears to be so accustomed to it that he continues to spoon-feed him until the miniature dessert is consumed. He was surprised to see this werewolf give him a gla.s.s of clear water. Obviously, he is unable to drink water as he is a vampire
Fenrir Skoll said, "This is Heavenly Spring Water. Try it if you can drink it."
"Are you worried that it might be poisoned? I will drink first before you do."
The Werewolf Ancestor downed a few sips and drained half of the water in the gla.s.s before offering the remainder to his wife. He can"t let him consume sweets while refusing to drink water. Ca.s.sius Ambrosia drains the water from Fenrir Skoll"s gla.s.s, which is shockingly delicious. He could drink it and feel refreshed as if he were drinking mint tea in the summer.
Pushing the empty gla.s.s back to Fenrir Skoll the headmaster said, "More..."
"Sure. I will leave a pitcher here for you and a box of the rose flower pastry you ate just now. Don"t forget to drink water every time you eat your pastry." Fenrir Skoll said.
The Monarch of the Night accepted these things which he can eat and drink and realized that Fenrir Skoll is about to leave for somewhere.
The School Headmaster suddenly asked, "Are you going somewhere?"
"Um. I need to plant more roses for you. The location is still behind that Chapel in this Academy." Fenrir Skoll said.
For some reason, Ca.s.sius Ambrosia can sense if this man is lying or not. Just now he knew that he was saying the truth and just nodded his head in agreement.
"Un. You may go. I will continue to work."
"I will be back soon. I"ll pick you up after you finish your work." Fenrir Skoll said as he rubs his face on his shoulder. At least for him, this is the most intimate move he can do to his wife at this moment in his human form.
Despite Ca.s.sius not appearing to dislike his animal shape, he is nevertheless uneasy with his human form. This is because his wife was not used to other people"s touch in this world and a.s.sociated physical contact with discomfort. Being able to press his cheek against this vampire lord"s shoulder is already a decent way to demonstrate their intimacy.
Ca.s.sius Ambrosia watched as Fenrir Skoll left to return to his table. He looks down at the pitcher of Heavenly Spring Water and the box of Rose blossom pastry created with that man"s exquisite blood.
"Where had he gotten these rare things? I"ve only seen Heavenly Spring Water in Ancient Scrolls." Ca.s.sius Ambrosia mumbled as he helped himself to another cup of Heavenly Spring Water.
He couldn"t help but lick his cerise lips as if savoring the new flavor he had tasted in his life.
He whispered, "But compared to the taste of his blood this is quite plain..."
