Chapter 33
After Yasenia left the stadium, she met Madeleine and the four girls who were waiting for her. Madeleine spoke first. “That was a masterful battle since the opponent can read you, never let them enter their pace. When possible, finish them with a big attack that even if they read the trajectory they won’t be able to dodge! Good job Yasenia, I’m truly proud that a young woman like you can not only think, but implement this kind of tactic.”
Yasenia bowed, delighted “Thank you, Master! It was all thanks to your teachings and teacher Mason beating my fighting sense into me!”
Mason who was walking towards them laughed “Hahaha it seems that our dragon girl likes my beatings? Prepare for more of them in class!”
Madeleine looked at him strangely “If I didn’t know you, I would have thought you were doing something illegal to Yasenia! You muscle brain idiot!”
Mason choked and looked incredulously “Isn’t your attribute Darkness? Why is your brain filled with these kinds of colorful thoughts!”
Yasenia chuckled and looked towards the four girls, “Let’s go. We wanted to go to the forgery yesterday, but because of that person, we didn’t go in the end.”
Angel went forward and hugged her strongly. Then she lifted her head with starry eyes, “Yasenia you were so cool!” Yasenia chuckled and patted her head.
Cecile took one step to her side and said “Fight me full strength next time, no holding back.”
Yasenia said, “Sure, to be honest, I didn’t want to use all my cards in class because things like this may happen. We can have a private duel and ask teacher Mason or Madeleine to be our supervisor so that no accidents happen.” Cecile smiled a little a nodded. She was satisfied with that explanation.
Evelyn added “As expected, you have beast-like strength since you entered the seventh level of the Body Modification realm. Even when you were at the second level you could match an eight-level cultivator in physical strength, now that you are going to enhance them yourself… You will truly be monstrous when you reach the ninth level!” The others nodded.
Yasenia added “En, remember that my tail is filled with a complicated muscle network, these three levels will take a while because of this. Even if I jumped my marrow strengthening levels, my speed will become a lot slower at these three levels.”
Angel lifted her face with red in her cheeks and said stuttering “D-Don’t worry Y-Y-Yasenia! I will h-help you every night!”
Yasenia laughed and picked her up. “You are the best baby!”
She looked at Evelyn and Cecile seductively, “If any of you want to help you are welcome too, this dragoness has enough stamina~” Cecile blushed a little, and Evelyn directly turned crimson.
Andrea directly said in her deep and clear voice “En, after our date, I will help you daily if you want.”
Yasenia really liked acting spoiled with Andrea so while still carrying Angel, Yasenia looked at her and smiled happily wagging her tail “Thank you, darling~”
Andrea just patted her head, at the same time, the four of them discreetly looked at Yasenia’s wagging tail. They really liked making her wag it!
After this, some days passed, and one week later, Angel and Cecile broke through the Half-step of the Body Modification realm! Cecile, Evelyn, and Andrea were already informed about the benefits of Dual cultivation with Yasenia so they weren’t surprised but they got secretly jealous nonetheless.
The day for Andrea’s and Yasenia’s date one week later was approaching. After this week, Madeleine made an announcement at the end of the class “Like you all know, in our sky continent and the surrounding four there are some interesting places called forbidden zones.”
She continued “Until now, you haven’t done anything different from other sects. Cultivate, research techniques, try the professions and find partners or companions, some of you do missions, others set up a stall… Well, one of the reasons that the Rita academy is placed where it is. Is because in the land we occupy we have access to three of the forbidden zones, and also we can travel to the first and second cloud layers.”
Madeleine looked around and said “It seems that some of you don’t know about them. The cloud layers or heaven stairs are called like that because they are floating solid enormous clouds. Inside these clouds there are different biomes, however in essence they are the same as land biomes. Cloud forest, cloud mountains, cloud lakes, and more. People and beasts flock there because the natural treasures there are abundant. You can even plant alchemy herbs in the clouds if the ambient condition is right.”
Seeing the doubt on some faces she continued. “Some of you may ask, why are the cloud layers inside the group of forbidden zones? Well, that is because of the cloud beasts, these creatures are able to swim in the clouds like it was water or walk on them like it is solid ground. Their intelligence is also higher than other beasts and they normally attack with ambushes.”
Madeleine then put on a mischievous smile and continued “The cultivators go to the cloud layers because two things, on one side, the materials and nucleus from the cloud beasts are precious, so hunting them is very profitable. On the other side, haven’t you always wondered, where do the items that are inside a spatial accessory go after its destruction?” The students opened their eyes in surprise!
Madeleine nodded, “We haven’t discovered why, but every time a spatial ring is destroyed the contents are spilled by spatial distortions in the cloud layers. However, they won’t be spilled in the same place. To be honest, if you lose a spatial ring, you can take it as forever lost.”
Madeleine finished by saying “in two weeks we will go on an excursion to the first cloud layer, there, cloud beast ranging from rank two to rank four can appear. The zone you will explore has been mapped by the academy so you will be able to dodge the stronger beast, however, the weaker ones aren’t marked so be careful. Dismissed! ”
Yasenia became excited, treasures! Her instincts were screaming and she knew exactly why! She has been researching about her dragon traits and one that has been manifested in her is her treasure affinity, dragons are known for being excellent treasure hunters!
Moreover, with the cloud layers being a lot closer to the celestial bodies, her techniques will be upgraded in that zone. She has practically been born to explore this place.
Evelyn said, “It seems that the groups will be divided into groups of six, us four could go and we could also invite Oliver and his friend, I think he is called Gustav?”
Yasenia remembered, “Is he the boy who you were harassing before the second part of the exam? “Evelyn shouted with righteous indignation, “I was not! I am a lover and fan of big ti-” *Bang!*
Angel nodded and ignored the flying girl, “Evelyn has picked up alchemy and she is advancing nicely, myself is a formation master, Cecile and Yasenia will be the main fighters and Oliver has picked up blacksmith… I don’t know what Gustav does? ”
Cecile said, “I heard that he was also blacksmithing, but he only knows the basics like weapon maintenance and spirit forging. Unlike Andrea who has even forged one low-level Heaven grade treasure.”
Evelyn said “Andrea is truly talented, moreover she has Elder Irina as her personal teacher! Elder Irina was the one that invented the spatial ring! Even her works that she considers scrap are fought for.”
Cecile nodded and spoke in her clear and cold voice “All our elders are heaven-defying geniuses of their era. Elder Linda is a formation master that has even created the defensive formation of our academy with the headmistress, this is one of the main deterrence that keeps people from attacking here, she has also advanced the everyday formations to a point that mortals can use them buying beast cores.”
“Elder Frederick was a genius alchemist who created the core-perfecting pill, if taken while breaking through the ninth level of the Dantian spiritualization realm you will from a 99% perfect core when having an 85% perfection rate naturally is already very hard if you are an average cultivator. The only drawback is that the ingredients to form this pill are absurdly scarce.”
“Elder Ron is a legendary cultivator that has killed a high-level rank six island turtle alone while he was on the same level. Finally Elder Irina, her innovative forging has created cultivator accessories that have myriad effects, the most famous being the spatial ring.”
Yasenia only knew about Elder Ron and Elder Irina, so knowing this was very informative for her. Angel said admiringly “I came to the academy because I wanted to become Elder Linda’s disciple! I even luckily met her once, she told me that if I manage to get into the formation branch, inner disciple, violet class she will accept me!”
Yasenia was elated and proud, hugging her and tickling her she said “My baby is the mightiest!”
Angel started to laugh “Hahaha Yasenia! Stop it hahaha.”
Evelyn and Cecile looked with smiles at their interaction, Cecile spoke, “I want to become Elder Ron’s disciple, he has the sun, magma, and fire attributes. Maybe he can advise me on how to fight against those elements.”
The rest nodded, “If you manage to counter your biggest weaknesses you will become a lot more versatile.”
To be honest, Evelyn didn’t want to become Elder Frederick’s disciple, she has seen him before, and he had hunched back and a hostile expression all the time. Yasenia saw her and said “Remember, even if that is your objective, it isn’t necessary to become stronger. What matters most in cultivation are talent and constant work.”
Evelyn looked at those encouraging golden eyes and couldn’t help but have her heart melt. She nodded with a smile “En.”
While they were walking, Evelyn kept sending glances at Yasenia as if debating whether to speak about something or not. Yasenia was aware of her antics, so, when they got a chance, she said to Evelyn “Can you accompany me to the cultivation grounds? I want to train in them these days before the excursion. I think I will be able to reach the eighth level if I use them… ”
Evelyn nodded, then waved towards Cecile and Angel “I will see you girls, later! Let’s go Yasenia this way.”
Yasenia nodded and she followed Evelyn with her alluringly sashaying hips. Cecile looked at Yasenia’s back and was thoughtful.
Angel noticed her glance and she lightly teased, (Author: Yasenia! Stop corrupting our little Angel!) “I know that Yasenias hips are alluring but are they so fascinating that they put you in a daze? ”
Cecile looked at Angel and said, “How is it?”
Angel tilted her head. Cecile continued “I mean, how are the nights with Yasenia? I have read about it, but most books have only males and females together.”
Angel didn’t expect this surprise question and her mind wandered to their sessions these nights and reddened completely, she has been spoiled all nights by Yasenia until she ended up twitching in pleasure without a single lucid thought.
