Chapter 262 262 Protagonist talents
[El's POV: ]
[ "Fuck this shit." ]
He was frustrated, hehehe.
[ "You should have just fought the two of them normally, bastard. Who told you to make this fight about energy control, lol. Ptfff. Fuck you lost, hahahahahahaha~." ]
They were surprised after seeing how he could use all the energies in the atmosphere by using the ones he possessed. But their surprise lasted only for a while.
They got back to their senses, he taught them how to do it, and the same thing that had taken him months to perfectly master… Ras grasped it in three minutes, while Rex mastered the whole fucking thing in twelve minutes.
'And if that wasn't enough, they went ahead and tuned the technique to suit their own unique skills, and, after only thirty minutes, just third fucking minutes, they did their sparring, and my little bastard lost miserably.
[ "Yes yes. Laugh all you want. My chance to laugh at you will come one day as well. And when it comes, you will cry, and beg me to stop. And I won't! Remember this!" ]
[ "Ye lol. Bark all you want but the fact you lost pathetically to those two cute bastards will always remain the same~. Kekekeke, and they did it in thirty minutes as well. lol, thirty minutes." ]
It was fun teasing him. Especially since it was about something that actually gets on his nerves.
[ "Yes, laugh more. Laugh louder, and just Drop Dead!" ]
[ "Muhahahahahahaha~. LMAO! If you insist this much, I wouldn't mind laughing for real as well~." ]
I wanted to laugh for real lol. This was too funny.
His face was all pink with embarrassment and cute, hehe.
'He should have just shown something better if he was going to be like this, lol.'
It wasn't like that basic augmentation technique was all that he could do anyway~.
[ "Hehehehe, but don't you agree with me as well? That was funny, right? At least seeing the two struggle for that little while was fun, wasn't it~?" ]
He was sad, but hearing me say that brought back the glow on his face a little bit.
[ "It certainly was fun…" ]
He smiled weakly with his face still covered in embarrassment… and that was even more funny~!
"Ptffff. Hahahaha."
It was so funny I couldn't hold myself back anymore. I want to fucking kiss this cute piece of butter-covered loaf of a hot piece of meat-
"Ummm. Why are you laughing, El?"
"Ah, oh, nothing. It's… nothing, Nes. Don't pay attention to us."
Lily and Cathy were having their duel right now and instead of fighting with each other, they chose to teach each other something that they were good at and learn it on the spot just like Lucy had done with Ras and Rex just now.
And right now, Cathy was teaching Lily how to circulate the holy energy throughout her body.
She needed to focus so everyone in the stands, despite being quite far from them, was staying quiet and were looking down at the two of them.
If I laugh again, the two of them will definitely be disturbed, so this bastard should stop making me laugh like this.
[ "Ahem. Anyway… what are you going to teach these two? Application of holy power?
Anna is here so you can even teach them how to harness the power from the divinities and divine objects." ]
[ "Snifff. Snifff. No. They will learn something that simple on their own. I am thinking of something else. Something fundamental this time…" ]
Lily was a special case among those who could use the holy and divine energy. It was in her blood, naturally.
[ "Since Lily is a Mana born and has yet to awaken her unique butterfly powers, it would be better for her to focus on the physical body instead of the mental body and inner powers like she is doing right now.
Similarly, it will be better for Cathy to start focusing on the divine powers instead of just sticking with Light and Holy powers.
Her unique skill: [Light's embrace] will only grow when she starts gaining the faith of others.
They should at least learn what they are capable of instead of just playing around with the things that they are obviously good with.
They are different from Ras and Rex who know what they are doing and what they have to do. And Lily especially has no idea what she is or what she actually is capable of." ]
From the way he said all that with that serious voice, it seemed he was finally back to normal. Tsk.
[ "So what now? What are you going to teach them?" ]
[ "Can't you tell already?" ]
[ "I might be wrong. Enlighten me." ]
Cathy is a natural-born genius like Rex and Ras so she will eventually figure out she possesses the potential to become a sintess even though she doesn't follow the [Temple] or any of the major gods.
And her journey to become an independent saintess who moves only for the hereafter good of the world instead of at the command of their gods will become the driving force of the new religion that will be born through her actions.
Lily on the other hand, well… if she is lucky, she will survive a few more years in the state she is in, and then become one with nature afterward.
'She is a fleeting existence that has no certain origin. And if she is left alone, she will just wither away.'
That's why I want her and Leon to fuck as soon as they can… just kissing will do as well.
They just have to become a part of each other so that Leon can share his own origin with her and only after that happens, her original unique skill will awaken and she will be able to live normally.
'And to prepare her for the time she awakens, this bastard of mine is plotting something.'
But what it is, I am not sure.
Like, there are tens of things he could be onto that will help her the way he wants, he is the manipulative one anyway. Not just me, practically no one could say for certain what exactly was going on inside that twisted mind of his.
[ "I'm going to teach them foresight." ]
[ "Fuck you… really?" ]
See.
He was going to teach them how to fucking see the future.
Fucking bastard.
[ "Yup. If they can master 'sleep' and learn to consciously focus on their connection with the Worldline, they can learn [Vision] and [Prophecy]. Well, it will take them a few months of training but they should receive those skills if they are diligent enough." ]
'Fucking hell…'
Vision was a [Grade-3] innate skill that only a rare few people possess while Prophecy is a [Grade-4] skill that shouldn't be possible to earn by oneself.
Only the higher beings were commonly capable of granting someone that skill, so, in any normal circumstances, it shouldn't have been possible to get either of those skills.
However, if we are talking about Cathy, someone who will become a grand [Sintess] of Worldline or a rare existence like Lily that was technically the result of an 'anomaly' of the world, it is possible.
'They are protagonists, after all.'
Just like Ras who was able to master the way of Qi-Aura synchronization when Lucy taught them augmentation, and just like how Rex picked up the uniqueness of his innate skill after that short practice, Cathy could certainly learn a special [Grade-4] skill if she really, really wished for it.
And though our little Lily wasn't particularly a protagonist due to her limited lifespan most of the time, she is very much as talented as these bastards.
That's why I want her. And her hubby. And especially their little cuties.
[ "How are you going to teach them though? Is there a method even I don't know about?" ]
[ "Well, you know that method as well though. It's pretty simple. Anna can just use her-" ]
[ "Yes, Anna. I see. You are useless anyway so she will do all the work for you, hun? Will she spar with them as well?
Wait, will it be spar though? Won't it be unfair for-" ]
[ "Shut up and let me finish, will you?" ]
We were supposed to spar, fight, like really fight with boooms, and baaam!
But here we are, doing this teaching shit and stuff.
'It wouldn't have been like this had it not been for this bastard.'
He suggested the teaching method and now everyone will do it. Fucking bastard.
Where's sparring in that then?
[ "First, I will have a simple battle with them where I will make them subconsciously think about vision and prophecy and then Anna will use [Epiphany] on them, through which, they will realize the use of their own skills to a certain extent.
Then, since the encoding has solidified subconsciously, they will naturally learn the skills on their own." ]
[ "Hmmm…" ]
It was a shit plan but if there was someone that can pull it off, then it was this bastard.
But that aside…
[ "Did you just say you will fight the two of them?! Those two?! The weakest of the bunch?! Do you have no shame?!
Since when is my Lucy bastard into lollies and cows?!
Am I not enough for you?!" ]
This bastard.
'He teaches two of the strongest presents with a simple method like explanation and display but when it is my cute piess turn, he wants to fight them?
And physical fight no less?'
And he was going to use things that will make them think about their skills, hun.
[ "Are you going to use your fucked up explosive butterflies as well then?! Shame on you!" ]
Lily's powers also had a form of butterflies but the only way he would have shown them butterflies would be with his Aura butterflies. And they are deadly for those cute flowers like girls!
[ "Are you out of your mind?!" ]
He wasn't answering anymore either. Bastard!
"Say something-"
"Oh, looks like the two of them are done."
-Swish.
"Hmmm?"
I was just about to shout at this bastard, curse at him out loud. Slap that bastard. Punch him if I can!
But at that exact moment, Nes spoke up, and he vanished.
"Come back here you bastard!"
He had already reached the ground!
What the hell?!
[ "Just stay there and watch." ]
[ "Watch what?!" ]
What's there to watch if my cute friends are going to get hurt?!
[ "Just watch. Haaa…" ]
This bastard…
[ "You are dead if anything happens to them." ]
I will kill him.
If even a hair of my girls was hurt or even a faint scratch was present on their fair, soft skins, I will personally shred him to tiny fucking pieces.
For real!
I ain't even kidding anymore.
We can kill each other now. So there practically wasn't anything holding me back!
