186 Teacher, you underestimate me too much.
Walking inside the empty cave, Lucas took out many utensils that were required to make a potion. Beakers, flasks, stand holders, burners were among the few things that he placed and set up a small potion workshop for himself.
After setting up the workshop, Lucas ensured that the cave was well ventilated and later when it was done, he took out the ingredients from his ring and started concocting the potion.
Few hours passed.
Lucas was done concocting the potion. The procedure to do such a thing, if Lith or any Earthling were to look at it, they would definitely say that concocting potion looked like doing a chemical reaction in a chemistry lab back on Earth. The ingredients used were all in grams and the utensils were also small, unlike the ones used for refining pills.
There was nothing flashy that happened during concocting potions majority of the time, unlike refining pills and if one was concocting low level potions, there was almost a zero possibility of something flashy happening.
Lucas concocted a potion without causing any disturbance or anything flashy happening. He was holding a transparent glass tube half filled with a viscous silver liquid that emitted blue luster and happily staring at it.
“This my second time making an Affinity Enhancer potion and the feeling it’s giving me is the same as the one I previously had. I feel so happy right now and the nostalgia that’s kicking in is making me feel even more proud of myself.” Lucas happily said to himself.
He walked towards a room that he made into the cave and sat down in the middle. The room was spacious and well ventilated. He also ensured to inscribe many spells of various kinds onto the walls of the room and imbued them with magic stones.
These spells would help ensure that a lot of elemental energy gathers around this area from the surroundings and Lucas would have no trouble while having his constitution changed due to lack of elemental energy in the surroundings.
He gulped down the potion and channeled the energy in him slowly into various areas of his body and changed his own constitution slowly and steadily.
Few more hours passed.
Lucas opened his eyes and muttered to himself, “everything’s done now. I just need to absorb the core of that seven affinity rumoured person and I can have an all elemental affinity. Time to go back to the academy now.”
…
Royal castle, Nightingale.
Lilith was sitting on a chair present at a round table on the rooftop of the castle and was having tea while gazing at the scenery in front of her.
The roses, the lake and the shining silver-crimson moon in the night sky of Nightingale created a serene atmosphere around the castle on whose rooftop she was sitting and watching the scenery. Though she was gazing at the scenery in front of her, her attention was somewhere else.
Putting the tea cup down, Lilith muttered, “interesting. He made the potion much earlier than expected. I wonder what the old man saw to help him and intervene like that. Whatever the case, it’s a good thing.”
After saying so, she took a sip again and looking at the tea in the cup, she once again muttered to herself while letting out a small chuckle,
“Things are developing at such a fast rate. Fufufu… my baby, I wonder how you’ll deal with them.”
…
Next morning.
Lith woke up to find his teacher looking at him from the side. He smiled and said to her, “good morning, teacher.”
“Good morning.” Arya greeted him back.
Lith yawned and said, “such a pity that I couldn’t see your beautiful sleeping face.”
Arya chuckled hearing it. “Indeed. I saw yours today and I can understand how regretful it is to not get to see it.”
Lith got up from the bed and stretched. “I am gonna go shower now. Ah right, I forgot to ask yesterday before going to shower, so I’ll ask today. Do you wanna join?” Lith said smirking.
Arya stared at him for a few seconds and he just stared back at her with a smile and didn’t bother to say anything. Arya smiled and said after a few more seconds, “sure.”
“Eh?” Lith’s smile disappeared as he heard those words from her.
“What? Chickening out now?” Arya said with a smile.
“No, no, just a little surprised. Why would I chicken out? You underestimate me too much, teacher.” Lith shook his head and replied.
“Alright then, come let’s shower.” Arya walked towards Lith and said, taking his hand and pulling him into the shower.
The two went into the bathroom which was 10 meter in length, breadth and height. Lith thought about the bathroom being too big when he first saw it, well, not as big as the one present in his home but as compared to the one he had back on Earth. In his previous life, the house he lived in was probably the same size as the bathroom of his dorm, so naturally, it seemed big.
The bathroom had one bathtub, big enough to have three people fit inside, one shower cubicle, one commode at the corner, wash basin beside which was a cupboard attached and above a big rectangular mirror was present on the wall. There was also a laundry basket present beside the cupboard which was imbued with a spell that cleaned and gave one their clothes instantly.
Arya walked with Lith towards the laundry basket and left his hand. She took off her crop top and shorts and threw them into the laundry basket. She was now standing in front of Lith in just her bra and panties, revealing her thick thighs, wide hips, flat stomach and boobs which were the most perfect size Lith had seen. Neither too big nor too small.
Looking at Lith staring intently at her body, Arya smirked and said, “aren’t you staring a bit too much?”
“Of course not. I still need a few more moments.” Lith looked her in the eyes and said confidently, without feeling shy or embarrassed for getting called out like that.
Arya didn’t bother to reply back to him and unplugged her bra from behind and supported the front via her hands so that they don’t fall off and her breasts get exposed to Lith.
Looking at this, Lith said, “chickening out now, teacher? It’s okay, there’s still time to back out. I won’t call you out later for it, don’t worry, hehe.”
Arya shook her head and said, “no, I am not. I am taking things slow so as to not get you too ‘excited’, if you know what I mean.” Arya winked after saying that.
“Heh… Teacher, you underestimate me too much. Even if you stand buck naked in front of me, you won’t get a reaction from me that you would hope for, if I don’t want you to see it.” Lith replied with a smirk.
What he said was true. He had already slept with two divine beauties many times. To him, his mother looked no less beautiful than a goddess. Though he hadn’t seen a goddess, he was sure that they definitely wouldn’t be any more beautiful than his mother. That was an assumption and a bold claim on his part.
For this reason solely, his body won’t show any reaction to anyone below a certain standard, even if they stood naked in front of him. Another thing was that Lith was trained by his mother this one time about how to not get aroused.
He was doing workout for his legs and the blood would go into his thing and make it erect. Once that happened and he paused to take a rest, his body would release chemicals and make him aroused. It was a bad thing to happen during training and Lilith therefore trained him on how to control the chemicals and blood flow better.
This wasn’t an easy feat, nor was it something that could be done by anyone. As once rises in magic rank, their body changes accordingly too. So one isn’t able to control their body on their own, they would need some special arts to do it and learning it would take years and practice to master control over one’s own body.
Mastering chemicals was even more difficult. High precision and a lot of effort was required to do something and even high level arts wouldn’t be able to help one in it. Therefore, only a small minority could control their body in the whole world.
It’s for the same reason that even higher rank beings feel emotions and don’t become emotionless golems. Controlling the chemicals that are released and cause emotions such as sadness, happiness, anger and more isn’t easy at such a level and thus they stayed sane like a normal rational being.
“Hoh, those are some serious claims you have there. What if you fail to do it? What then?” Arya asked with interest.
“I have nothing to bet on. Hmm, how about this, I’ll do any one thing teacher asks me to do. Will this be fine?” Lith asked after pondering a bit.
“Anything?” Arya asked again.
“Yes, any one thing.” Lith replied.
“Any one?”
“Yes.”
Arya smiled widely having her question confirmed and said looking at him, “you better not back out then.”
