The Noble Lady of Lust

Chapter 158: Blessings

Recently, in the meetings, ’people gathered for the same purpose’, Selene insisted that I consider Eira as a candidate, and for some reason she had the support of the rest, in the end I could not refuse and I accepted with the condition that Eira agreed firts, which I know will not happen.

Integrating her into my harem would only bring problems and she would most likely seek to take my life when she found out a lot of things, but I can’t refuse to my little angel’s request either; so unless she asked me to, I wouldn’t integrate her to my harem, it was an easy solution to Selene’s insistence.

..

.

After thinking for a moment about Eira’s intentions I entered the classroom, and an uncomfortable silence took over the atmosphere was hovering in the Air.

”ಠಿ_ಠ” (x8).

by this point everyone noticed that little different detail, and no one knew how to approach the situation, except Alice, who talked to that person normally,

’maybe she’s glad she’s not the only one with changes?’

Thinking it best not to say anything, I walked to the front and began.

”Well, there will be no lessons today. We’ll just see if we are blessed by any gods. Depending on that, we’ll change the dynamic a bit, okay?”

”Yes,”

they all responded in unison, like good students accustomed to my lessons, finally turning their attention away from the problem.

It didn’t seem that anyone was reluctant to reveal their blessing, not to mention William, whose blessing everyone already knew, or Elena and Auran, who I had previously told to simply say they didn’t possess one.

I no longer cared to say I was blessed by the goddess of purity; equally, I used it as an excuse not to enter the temple with my Chris identity.

I don’t know how the goddess see things or the one who watches over me, but probably the actions I perform as Christian overlap with Seraphina’s identity for they.

Thanks to Protection of lust , I cover up everything I don’t want them to see, and one thing I definitely don’t want them to discover is my dual identity and my legacy.

The protection of lust will cover me according to my desires and will, like putting a fake video on the monitors in the surveillance room leaving them completely unaware of what is really going on.

I wasn’t afraid to say that I had a blessing of since, I had the most complete blessing, even then I could say, for example, that ”Chris” only received the ability to purify.

while ”Seraphina” got the ability to be immune to curses and poisons, both of which are in themselves low rank blessings of the goddess and I can use them all.

In fact, I have not tapped into the full potential of my blessing and could do much more. I remember someone who knew my alternate self and who in the future I will meet.

who had the ability to see the purity in people’s souls and purify it further so that they could unlock their latent talent and enhance the existing one, thanks to that my alternate self learned to do the same and learned the trick of how to use it.

lately I am concentrating on understanding that aspect of my blessing, which without the guidance of memories would take me years to master, on my own or until I meet that person.

Anyway, leaving that aside, I started to check the blessings of the group.

”Well, I’ll be the last one. Let’s start with ... let’s see, you, Mike, you seem anxious.”

”Yes!!!, I was blessed, and listen well, and don’t be surprised: it was the god of incandescent flame! Isn’t that great?”

Like anyone born without a blessing, Mike was thrilled to be recognized by a divine being, no matter what it was.

”Pfff.” Ban sneered at Mike as if it was no big deal what he was bragging about.

”Hey, you idiot! You’ve been bothering me for a while now. Let’s see, what god blessed you?”

”You idiot! Listen well: I was blessed by the god of stormy winds,”

Ban said boastfully as he adjusted his glasses. Well, in a sense, he has reason to be prouder than Mike. In this realm, the god of storm winds is only below the three main gods in importance.

He is in the category of the most revered secondary gods, along with the god of metal and the god of plants. Although, for me, in general, the gods that blessed Mike and Ban are in the same lower middle category, like the god of inner lightning, below gods like the god of plants, wind or fire, who dominate their respective elements.

Anyway, categorization is defined by the realm, since the gods don’t care much about how mortals categorize it unless they are in their own territory.

I watched as the idiot two started fighting, uselessly claiming their blessing was more useful or whatnot, I decided to ignore them and ask the next one

”Okay, Lys, you’re next. Tell me, which god were you blessed by?”

”Huh? Chris, how are you so sure I was blessed?”

”Well, if those two idiots could, so could you. If not, I’ll start a holy war for you.”

”I’d like to be told something like that too~,” Alice muttered as she heard what I said.

’Alice Stop!!!, don’t say it out loud or you might arouse suspicion. Look, poor Alexander is taking notes.’

I promised myself to say more cheesy compliments later to Alice, pretending not to hear her and acting like it was nothing.

”Come on, Chris, stop saying embarrassing things; besides, that might be blasphemy. Well, this... the v-truth is, I was blessed by the god of inner lightning.”

”What!”

Everyone, including me, was shocked. Leaving aside how she acted embarrassed, the rest were probably impressed because she was blessed by one of The Realm´s main gods. But to me, however, the rank of that god was no different than Mike and Ban.

What surprised me was that she had been blessed by the god of the swift winds in the line of my alternate self, even though that was almost a year later today.

I wondered if this god would be better for her than the previous one, because Lys, despite being a pure warrior, has an affinity for wind. She is a rare case, as those with affinity usually have a talent for growing mana, but she did not, and was wasting the ability.

Technically, it was the same in my case before I fully inherited the Legacy, I had two innate affinities but no growth talent, but I opened the way by relying on the high level of the ’art of lust’, growing in strength.

She on the other hand could barely improve her attacks with her scarce mana. Therefore, her knowledge of runes, which further improve efficiency, was crucial for her.

If she thought about it, this blessing was the one that suited her best between the two, as the blessings of this god are usually useful for pure warriors, as they strengthen the body without the need for mana.

Although it has nothing to do with her affinity, the god can grant her an affinity ability if she becomes his agent afterward.

It was more efficient for her than the blessing of the god of swift winds, whose power was wasted on someone like Lys, who could not make the most of it.

’Yes, I think this blessing suits her better than the one of the swift winds. Even if it didn’t, with what I have planned, I can change his blessing later.’

After the surprise and congratulations from the group for being blessed by an important god, we continued.

”I was blessed by the god of metal,”

Ivan said. There wasn’t much reaction from the group, or from me, because I knew this was coming, and it stayed the same, the rest saw it as a blessing on the same level as Ban, and did not take it too seriously after the impact of Lys., even though it’s technically the strongest blessing so far among those present.

But well, so far, they’ve all grown up in that realm, and for them the hierarchy is as depicted in the books.

Next were Elena and Auran(Aurora), who said they did not receive blessings. The group consoled them and told them that maybe next time.

I had to arrange that they had to hide their blessings, since, both being so talented, not even having the blessing could generate suspicion from the surrounding people. although I already started with the preparations to deal with this problems

The following was Alice, whom I told that now it was okay to say hers because now she would stand out more for not having it than for having it, and said she had the one from the plant god blessing . But I warned her to hide the agent thing. Like Ivan, no one was very surprised. Alexander, for his part, had that of the god of solid rock.

The twins, who were safe, again received the blessings of the tides (Selene) and frost (Eira). In fact, Selene was now so talented that she was afraid another goddess would take her.

I wanted them to be blessed specifically by this pair of gods because they are one of the few twin gods, and they are one of the few that, when they become agents, bestow an (EX) ability that fit the twins like a glove.

So I told Selene to go straight to the tide goddess statue and take Eira to the frost one.

I looked at Selene’s condition and she didn’t turn into an agent, pitifully, and I assumed Eira didn’t either.

So far so normal, nothing out of the ordinary. The only variation so far was Lys and Alice, who received their blessing much earlier, plus Mike and Ban. Only Silvia was missing, who should be blessed by the magma god....

”I-I was blessed by the s-sun god.”

”Uh... What, the sun god?, Not the god of magma?...haaa....how troublesome...”

”?”

When Silvia said something different from what I expected, I was more surprised than the rest, who also didn’t consider this god very important. In fact, I was surprised that there was a temple of him in this realm.

The fact that he was a powerful god could be problematic for me. That he is such a powerful god that he is on par with the god of light or the goddess of purity, maybe more so.

I had to be cautious. I had to make arrangements, especially since this was Silvia. This blessing caught me off guard, but it was still manageable. Now I was the one who wanted to talk to her and make arrangements.
