Conquering The Novel

The entire ground and the monster's remaining tentacles were frozen as a result of Livia's attack, which also restricted all of the students who were about to land their attacks on the monster, including Ziona, Lucas, Kevin, and Claude.

Surprisingly, her attack either did not reach me, or... she did not attack me.

But, seeing this as an opportunity, I activated my static electricity skill, covered the entire arrow with the Electric Aura, and fired the arrow at the monster using all of my mana.

SWISH-

The arrow moved quickly toward the monster, and the entire area appeared to be in slow motion. While the bright blue Aura on the arrow drew everyone's attention,...they all looked at it with puzzled expressions.

As the arrow struck the monster, a massive explosion with a luminous blue glow occurred...

BOOOOOM -

As everyone heard the enormous booming sound, they saw the monsters' various exploded body parts flying all around them, and it was raining in the monster's blood...

Drip Drip-

The students who were near the monster were now all covered in the monster's blood.

​ The monster blood that was added to the magical space was supposed to get students used to blood, but when they saw this terrifying scene in front of them, they all felt nauseous.

***

When I saw the students' terrified expressions, I just shook my head and turned towards Livia, as she was the one who had frozen everyone, including her teammates, Claude and Kevin, and prevented them from attacking.

As I turned to face her, she was already staring at me with a huge smile on her face.

!?

She could have restrained me as she did with the other students, and killed the monster herself if she had wanted to. But she didn't take that path and instead allowed me to take the final blow...

It was as if she was gifting me the last hit by preventing everyone.

"...."

'I should have given more thought to my relationship with her.' I thought to myself as I noticed her smiling beautifully at me, unaffected by the horrifying scene in front of her...

***

Soon, Everyone was quickly teleported back to the white room, signaling the end of the training class, while many weak-hearted students remained terrified at what they had just witnessed.

The professor did not wait for them to regain their composure before announcing the results of the combined training session.

Nonetheless, the results did not surprise me much.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that the selection for the upcoming tournament will also be based on these combined training results," the lazy-ass professor said after announcing the results.

Everyone was stunned when they heard the professor's declaration, but the professor didn't care and asked them to leave.

"The class is now over. So you can all go now, shoo shoo." He said, before leaving the training room himself.

!?

I ignored his words and decided to leave while they were all in a daze because I had a lot to think about.

***

Third Person Pov ~

Many students were staring at Ares as he walked away, still amazed at how he pulled off that powerful arrow shot.

"We were all playing right into his hands from the beginning," Ayla said with a bitter smile on her face as she watched Ares leave.

Ziona gave an awkward smile as well when she heard her. While Lucas's face had become distorted.

***

'Oh, he was so cool while shooting that arrow.' Livia thought to herself and smiled broadly.

When they saw Livia's smile, Claude and Kevin both frowned. Because they could have ranked first if Livia hadn't restricted them and not opened the way for Ares' attack.

They knew that if Livia had chosen to, they could have easily defeated Ares. They remained silent, however, in order not to offend her.

***

"He is attractive, strong, and cunning. We're like a match made in heaven. Is this what they mean when they say soulmates?" Diana muttered to herself in a hushed tone while in a reverie, with both hands on her blushing cheeks.

While Penelope's eyes were sparkling and remained centered on Ares's departing figure.

Eric, who had been watching Diana and Penelope's expressions, sighed and murmured to himself.

"Lucky Bastard."

***

Ares's Pov ~

"So you just phoned me for that?" Aegis questioned me while maintaining a stoic expression.

"Yes," I replied, nodding my head in agreement.

"I told you I was leaving for a mission, didn't I? And here I was thinking something important had come up for you to call me "Aegis expressed her disbelief.

"Well, to me, it's an urgent matter," I replied.

"...."

"Seriously?" Aegis exclaimed.

I nodded my head and confirmed.

"Sigh, From what you told me, It's obvious that she likes you." Aegis sighed before responding to me.

"Hmm, I thought so too, So, what should my next course of action be?" I inquired.

"You have two choices, first to accept her feelings, and second, is to play dense, like a dense protagonist," Aegis said and continued.

"And if you choose the first option, Congratulations! You're on a Harem route."

"...."

I was speechless for a few moments after hearing her last statement, but I ignored it for now and questioned her.

"What if I choose a different path?"

"Hmm, it'll do for the time being. But you'll be in an awkward situation later, because she'll be jealous if she sees you with another woman, and her obsession with you will only grow over time, and in the best-case scenario... She'll turn into a Yandere like Mika."

'Best case scenario?' Hearing her, I thought inwardly and gulped out loud, knowing how insane Livia already is...

"Can't I just ignore her feelings and be friends?"

Aegis controlled her laughter after hearing my question and answered.

"Pfff, you dense motherflocker. You have no idea how crazy girls like that Livia, and Mika can be; she will either kill the other girls who came into contact with you or, in the worst case scenario, she will kill you."

"If she likes me, why would she kill me?" I inquired with a sweating forehead.

"If I can't get what I want, I won't let anyone else get it either, that's what they think," Aegis replied and continued.

"Not every girl is like that though, some girls are sane like me as well, It's just your bad luck that you came upon two crazy women."

"You're Sane?" I questioned.

"Ohh, I am the sanest person you will ever meet in this hectic world, alright" Aegis answered.

"Well, What do you think I should do now?" I ignored her previous statement and questioned.

"I recommend you go for a Harem route," Aegis suggested.

"Wait! What do you mean by harem route? It's only Livia who has feelings for me."

Aegis spoke with an evil grin on her face,

"What! Are you abandoning Mika?"

"She is just an overly obsessed Master, isn't she?"

Hearing me Aegis laughed out loud, her laugh continued for a few moments before she spoke.

"You're clueless, aren't you? Wow, I've met a dense guy in real life as well. I thought they were only found in novels and anime."

"...."

Aegis spoke again, seeing my expressionless face

"Your relationship with Mika has already reached a point of no return; she is already crazy about you, and I don't think it's just because you are her disciple, though she may not realize it for the time being. But when she recognizes her feelings..." She paused after saying that and did not proceed.

I waited for her to continue, but she didn't say anything else, so I inquired nervously.

"And, what will happen when she recognizes her feelings?"

"Oh, Even I don't know what she will do." She answered with a puzzled expression.

"But if I choose the first option as you suggested, don't you think it will be a problem when these two crazy women meet each other?" I said with a complicated expression.

"Yes, It will be a problem, But you have me," she replied.

"Huh?" I exclaimed.

"I will teach you, how to be a cultured man. And you won't have any problems even if you add more girls to your harem in the future." Aegis responded.

!?

"I already have my hands full with two crazy women, so I don't think I will have anyone else," I answered.

Aegis giggled and spoke,

"Yeaaah, right. Guess we will just have to wait and see what the future holds for you."

"You seem quite knowledgeable in this matter, what are you, a love guru?" I inquired.

"I'm just a woman who enjoys watching anime and reading novels; you'll learn a lot from it. So you should give them a shot as well." Aegis uttered.

"Is that so?" I said this while maintaining a poker face.

"All right, let's watch a bunch of animes together when I get back from my mission, okay?"

"Sure," I replied casually.

Hearing my response, Aegis smiled happily.

"So, when are you going to save that demon of yours?" Aegis inquired.

"I'll do it tonight," I said.

"Hmm, be careful."

...

We talked for about an hour until someone summoned Aegis. As a result, we agreed to continue our discussion later.

And it was about time for me to get ready as well and save that demon.
