"Guess I will be training with you today."
"Lucky for me, I guess."
Elliyana narrowed her eyes as she tilted her head.
"How is it 'Lucky' for you, 'Lady' Allura?"
"Hmm? I'll get a chance to train with a well-known prodigy, of course it is lucky for me, isn't it?"
"Why do I feel like you do not mean what you say?" Elliyana questioned.
"C'mon, Elliyana, don't act like a child.
Obviously, I did not mean what I said.
It was sarcasm, you really think you are a well-known prodigy?"
Allura snorted as she just laughed it off.
Ellinger narrowed her eyes.
Her mouth twitched in frustration.
"You are obviously more than just a well-known prodigy, you are the hope of all the succubuses."
"Hope that they would never see someone like you."
"Because they can't have two Queens in one team, now can they? That would destroy the team from the inside, after all."
"Two Queens like you, what a nightmare will that be."
Elliyana, if Allura actually had the power to cast [Illusion] right now, then even if you are a Grand Sage Cultivator, you would be on your knees right now. It has only been like, 30 seconds since the two of you saw each other, how can you lose so badly?
And Allura, I never allowed you to do what you did. I would appreciate it if you would stop targeting people like that."
A man with a strict look on his face walked in.
He was Elfred Agartha, an Incubus and one of the instructors who teaches Allura. Honestly, when Allura was new, she didn't man a lot.
Well, he was an incubus after all.
And a ridiculously strong one at that.
She knew about an Incubus's Sex Drive, if he actually lost control, Allura wouldn't be safe. Spending time with him, Allura didn't want to do it.
However, in the end, Aisha convinced her to do it. She was protected by the Royal Family, there could be people who would try to hit on her, but they would certainly not be instructors hand-picked by Rislith.
These people knew what type of person Rislith was,
There is no way they would try anything stupid.
Anyways, as time passed, Allura got used to the new environment, and her 'strength' increased at a ridiculous pace.
"I apologize, Instructor Elfred."
Allura bowed her head.
Elliyana didn't react to Elfred's words.
She finally realized what happened.
Allura… that bitch played around with her…
She… she was this close to looking into her mind!
She… she actually lost to someone like Allura, who wasn't even a Succubus!
Elliyana clenched her fists in anger.
"Anyways, I called the five of you here because I wanted to tell you something."
Those words grabbed everyone's attention, even Elliyana's.
"The Ancient Trials will be opened in 1 Month,
"Huh? So does that mean…"
"Yes, that means you five will be entering the Trial this time. Congratulations."
Elfred with a small smile that looked a little unusual on his strict face.
"Of course, I hope you would perform better than what you showed me during the Trial."
"I-I apologize for showing you an embarrassing sight, I promise that something like that will not be repeated, especially inside the Trial."
"That is good. Keep in mind, you all were selected because of your excellence,
So do not let anything undermine you, is that clear?"
"Yes, Instructor Elfred."
"This last month, you will not receive any more training, you have already learned a lot in the last decade, this month belongs to you. I am sure you will be mature enough to choose what you wish to do and prepare yourself your own way.
The 5 of them turned around and left the room.
However, the moment they walked out of the room, a Purple haired woman appeared in front of them and they bowed. Well, the 4 out 5 bowed.
"You heard the news?"
She and Aisha continued to walk, and once they were far enough, the other 4 Succubuses stopped bowing and walked toward their own rooms as well.
"Nervous? Do you need anything?"
"Aisha, how long does a Trial last?"
"Well, it depends. It is different for everybody. It can take Decades, or even Centuries sometimes, however, the flow of time inside the Trial is different from the real world, so in truth, the maximum time recorded in the history is a month."
"Aisha, I need your help."
Suddenly, Allura spoke up.
Aisha questioned with a frown on her face.
"For this month, I wish to be alone."
"Huh? That's what you are asked to d-"
Aisha wanted to reply, however, Allura just glanced at her and seeing her expression, Aisha understood what her friend wanted,
"You want to leave the Mansion."
"There are too many eyes here."
"I already told you, no one keeps an ey- you know that already, don't you? You still wish to leave.
Things are not that simple, are they?"
Allura just glanced at Aisha.
I need you to tell me what it is."
"It's been a year, Aisha."
"Since you met Nux, yes, I know. I miss him as well."
Allura started at Aisha.
And suddenly, Aisha's eyes widened,
"Allura, he is in the Blood Continent, there is no way you can meet him within 1 month. Wait, you are not going to miss the Trial in order to meet him, are you?"
"Of course not. I am not that stupid. I stayed away from him for an entire year for this Trial, you think I would ruin that sacrifice?"
"Then why do you want to leave the Mansion?"
"What do you think would happen if he sneaks in here? You think your mother or anyone won't notice?"
"Don't worry about that.
Just tell me, can you arrange a place,
Outside your mother's reach."
"You want to meet him as well, don't you?"
"I still plan to steal him from you."
"Well, good luck with that."
