Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem

Chapter 181: Hunch



Zach woke up in the middle of the day. The last thing on his mind were the classes he missed. He was busy feeling good. He couldn't put his finger on it. He just noticed it because he thought he would still be a wreck after last night and everything that had happened in the forest.

He hadn't fought the bear himself or pushed himself as far as he had in the past. But it had been stressful nonetheless. And that tended to leave him unrested. He needed at least two nights of good sleep to recover.

But not this time.

Zach was practically shining. His skin glowed, and he felt more energetic than ever.

For some reason, he decided to check his interface. It was just a hunch.

[Zacharia Evandiel - Troublemaker]

[Level 19 Summoner]

[Innate Skill: Divine Luck]

[Contract Skills: Blessed Defense | Material Extraction]

[Contracts: Yanael | Alzara roi Kalam]

[Yanael – S-Rank Angel *Battle Maid Variant]

[Alzara roi Kalam – SS-Rank Desert Witch *Battle Maid Variant]

[Titles: 1]

"..."

Zach was happy he listened to his hunch.

He usually didn't bother checking the interface since the only thing that would change unless he summoned another familiar was his level. And that didn't change as often as Zach would have wanted. Looking too often was just demoralizing since it showed just how tough it was to level up and how slow his progress was.

But now, not only had his level risen several times since he checked last, something else had appeared on his interface. He had no idea what it was more than what it said, and Troublemaker didn't exactly sound like a good title. He didn't know if it was a result of his actions or if it would have an effect on his future.

But it was a change, and after all that he had gotten from the interface and the mystic art of summoning, he doubted it was something bad.

"Yanael, Alzara, I have a question." He gathered his familiars in the living room. He wanted to set out and check on Nessa as soon as possible, but she wasn't going anywhere. He didn't think his Title was going anywhere, either, but he wanted to know what it was first.

Zach missed the worried frown Alzara made when she saw Zach when he left his bedroom. Yanael didn't. But neither said or did anything.

"I'll answer to the best of my ability, Master," Yanael said.

"I'll tell you anything you want, Master. Are you finally curious about my three sizes?"

"...I won't say no, but not right now." Zach felt Yanael and Nora give him sharp looks as soon as Alzara asked. He wisely decided against indulging his curiosity.

"I wanted to ask you two about Titles."

Their eyebrows rose slightly.

"That explains it," Yanael half-murmured.

"Explains what?"

"Why it feels like you have more authority," she answered.

"So, Titles give me authority?"

"Yes…"

"...But that's not all they do."

"Yes…"

"And I don't have enough for you to tell me more, I presume?"

"Yes…"

"I see." Zach nodded. It was a little disappointing that they still couldn't tell him much, but it was better than nothing. Titles weren't useless. Now, he just had to figure out what his Title did.

"Is there anything you can tell me about how I can figure out what my Title does?" Zach asked both of his familiars.

"What is your Title?" Alzara asked a question of her own.

"Troublemaker."

"Sounds pretty straightforward. Don't overthink it. But if you still aren't sure, ask your principal." Alzara could feel that she was reaching the limit of what she could tell Zach. But that was proof of how early he had acquired a title.

He had a Title, an S-rank familiar, and an SS-familiar, but he still didn't have enough authority to learn about that kind of function. He wasn't too far off, but he was still ahead of what could be considered the norm.

"Got it. I can guess, but I would rather have something concrete. Let's check on Nessa first and then pay the principal a visit."

"I'll pay her a visit later." Nora stayed behind. She was close to Nessa. It was inevitable. They had bonded over Zach on the occasions they interacted. Nora often accompanied Zach around the Academy or in the library. She brought him food.

She made sure he returned to his dorm when it got late.

She had many opportunities to talk to Nessa.

She didn't have the same kind of relationship as the classmates did since Nora didn't follow them into the forest. She didn't fight with her life on the line and her back against the others' backs.

But Nessa had spent a lot of time with Zach. Nora had spent a lot of time with Zach. They were friends.

However, Nora didn't want to visit Nessa with Zach during working hours. It would also be cramped if she were to squeeze herself inside Nessa's room with all the others.

So, Zach visited Nessa alone. The others were still sleeping or had already stopped by. That included Nessa. She hadn't woken up once. It seemed she was taking full advantage of her injury to slack off.

Zach respected it. He changed the glass of water next to her bed to fresh water. Then, he went to visit the principal.

He knocked on the door.

"Enter." Zach's knock had barely landed before the principal spoke.

"Hello, principal!" Zach greeted the principal enthusiastically and ended up glancing around the principal's office. The principal was sitting in his chair with a relaxed expression. But there were no signs of Kami.

"Where's Kami?"

"This is my office?"

"Yeah, and I'm here for you. I was just curious since he's been here every time I have."

"...That's a coincidence or something. What can I do for you, young Zacharia?" The principal smiled and rested his elbows on the table and his chin on the back of his hands.

"You're not here to make excuses for what happened in the forest or ask for help, are you?" There was a slight chill in the principal's tone.
