Azure produced various degrees of grumbling noises, her steps carrying her briskly outside the headmaster’s office. While she had expected to get chewed out again, it did not happen. Instead, both the headmaster and Professor Mia were merely worried about what had happened with Ilya. “I hoped never to meet that woman.” She briskly made her way through the mostly empty courtyard and into her room, before retrieving her sword and making her way toward the academy courtyard. How are Ilya and Hikari both blessed children? She wanted to laugh, yet she held it in. The stark difference between Ilya’s arrogance and Hikari’s seemingly kind nature was that of night and day. “Night and day… fitting.” Her fingers dragged over her throat, which had just recently been threatened with a sharp blade. Nothing compared to Aqua’s weapons, of course. However, despite the fact that even if Ilya had killed her, she would have resurrected, and Aqua would have made the woman regret her decisions, yet it did not sit well with her that there were people so much stronger than her just walking around. Her training needed to be redoubled. Fang’s technique got slapped away as if it were child’s play. She grumbled. It took her weeks to get to the level she could comfortably use it, yet it was nothing when compared to Ilya’s mastery. She had tapped into Aether and the Shadow techniques, there was one more power she had not used. The acid, given to her by Laleyn. She had avoided using it due to Aqua; however, she could not let herself be a burden to her fiancé. While taking the full blessing was out of the question, just using the acidic element to augment her already existing power was something she would allow herself to do. If Ilya can create her own shadow techniques, then so can I! While by no means could she be compared to her Aqua, she was the martial champion who had a firm grasp on the basics of melee combat. She grinned. “If I can use Mortal’s Hope with both Shadows and Argussian Acid.” She quickly made her way toward the area where the physical portion of the entrance exams was held. It was now empty, which was perfect for her. However, she had not come to an empty field merely to swing her sword. If she truly wished to master her acid, then she would need the help of her patron, despite the possibility of her beloved’s protests. She got onto her knees and clasped her hands together. Hikari did say that for a greater blessed child, communing with their patron is a second nature. She closed her eyes, and her mind plunged into darkness. Lady Laleyn, it is me, Azure. I have come seeking your assistance. Her words disappeared into the void, and no response came. Do I need to say a prayer? Her tongue clicked. Aqua would be mad at her if she had done so, yet an internal conflict boiled within her. Her fiancé being mad at her was something she did not wish to ever experience and on the other this was one of the few ways for her to get stronger. However, it did not take long for her vision to change and for her to find herself in the middle of the midnight lake she had visited before. Her eyes scanned her surroundings. “Where is Laleyn?” She asked herself. A moment passed, and she failed to see her goddess, however, soon she was toppled from behind her, and the weight of the goddess pressed on her. “My Azure! You came to me on your own! Finally!” Laleyn squealed, rubbing her face into Azure’s back. She wanted to resist, yet it would have been unnecessary. It was good to allow someone to indulge in their affections. After a moment of divine affection, Laleyn teleported some distance away and gazed at Azure. Laleyn suppressed her smile and coughed into her hand. “I cannot tell you how happy I am that you decided to visit me. My Chosen. Tell me, what is it that you wish to ask your goddess?” She spoke chiperly. The goddess spread her arms, and a faint divine glow emanated from her form. Why does she look kind of cute when trying to look majestic? Azure let
