224 Chapter 49.4 - Lilia Thornheart

'How interesting.'

That was what I thought the moment I saw Lilia training in front of me. She utilized her own mana to create anchors around her body, which acted as her second or third arms.

'Why did I miss such a thing?'

It was a slight damage to my ego, if I was completely honest, since the fact that she was able to come up with a thing that I couldn't make me feel a little inferior.

Of course, that was only for a second since I had taken control of such thoughts immediately. My head was hurting a little, and my eyes were about to bleed, but the pain wasn't unbearable like I had initially expected.

'This seems to be my limit for the time being.'

Everyone had a natural limit on their bodies. It was an inevitable occurrence, and I am no exception to that rule. One may even say I am the one especially subjected to it.

In any case, as I withdrew my mana from my eyes, my eyesight returned to a normal state, and the scene before my eyes brightened.

"Why do you think he called us?"

Lilia asked while using her mana to clean herself from the sweat.

"I don't know."

I answered though I knew the reason why Adrian had called us.

'It must be the time.'

Since the mid-terms had ended, it was about the time the club would start its activities.

"Is that so?"

Lilia said, squinting a little. It seemed she was not that convinced, though it was not like I needed to convince her.

After shrugging my shoulders, I made my way out of the training room. The memories of this time were already printed in my head, ready to reply every time, and that was enough for the time being.

"Sigh…."

I heard a small sigh coming from her mouth just as I left. However, she did follow me without saying anything at all.

********

As Astron made their way to the Archery Club Center, where other members of the club were already gathering, Lilia was pondering to herself.

'Was that my imagination?'

She was not sure for a fact, but she felt like she had seen Astron's eyes following her movements, even at the end when she showed her most complex skill.

'No, that can't be right.'

Her eyesight was something she was very proud of herself, especially her photographic memory. Thus, as she reviewed what had happened a second ago, she realized that was not the case.

'But…..'

However, there was a feeling. A feeling that she didn't want to disperse as random but had no choice to do so.

'Sigh….'

In the end, she just took it to a shelf, saying she would investigate this matter more, as she lacked sufficient data to even make a comment.

Just as they both reached the meeting location, Adrian, a tall and imposing figure, stood at the front, waiting for everyone to assemble.

'Tch…..'

It was this guy again. The one who held that unacceptable and daring gaze. She had been dealing with people because of her guild; thus, she was well aware of what that gaze meant.

It was greed.

"Why are you glaring daggers at him?"

At that moment, Astron asked.

'Hmm?'

From what she had observed, it was unusual for that guy to speak first to her.

"What do you mean?"

"Will you feign ignorance?"

As she looked at his relaxed reaction, she knew that guy was right on the point.

"You are pretty sharp."

"We marksmen need to be sharp."

"….."

There was no reply she could give aside from silence.

"He is quite daring, if I must say. To openly show such a gaze to the goddess Lilia."

His voice was filled with sarcasm, but Lilia didn't mind. After all, what he was pointing out was right. Adrian was basically saying he was not afraid of her with such a gaze.

"Indeed. Some people don't understand without someone showing them."

"I must agree on that."

"You speak like you have many experiences," Lilia said, looking at Astron for a reaction. If she were going to recruit him for the future, knowing about him would be optimal, and even small details like this could be detrimental.

"No comment."

"You are not fun."

"I hear that a lot."

"From who?"

"Does it matter?"

"Probably not. Since almost everyone you meet will give this reaction anyway."

"I don't meet a lot of people, so it is fine."
