Chapter 484: Eve and Aya

Eve wrapped Aya in a layer of mana and took her away to a place away from Academy City. She did not tell the cat girl where they were going, and the cat girl did not ask either.

Both Aya and Eve were silent people, so during the entire trip, none of them spoke up a word.

Finally, Eve brought Aya to a forest a few kilometers away from the city before landing.

After casting a barrier around the place to stop anyone from approaching, the expressionless fox girl looked at Aya.

"Aya of the Sharpclaw family. Do you know why I brought you here?"

"To train me?" Aya tilted her head curiously.

Eve nodded.

" However, I'm not sure how much I should teach you." The fox girl stated, making the cat girl frown.

Eve looked at Aya silently. Finally, after several seconds, she told the cat girl the cold truth.

"Aya, you are not a genius."

Aya's body shook.

"Your talent is above average, but your limit should be pseudo-demigod." Eve continued expressionlessly. "If you are lucky, perhaps you will become a demigod before dying, but that is the end."

Aya bit her lips and fell silent.

She knew that the fox girl was right. Even though Aya was talented, her talent was still in the category of a normal person.

However, she was surrounded by monsters. Bloed, Regina, Eres, Liu Ying, Princess Elwha, and even Gina and Sara, were geniuses in their own right. Compared to them, Aya was really lackluster.

It was not that she did not work hard enough. Even though her hard work was not comparable to a training madwoman like Liu Ying, she was one of the most hardworking members of Machine Revolutio.

Despite that, she could only watch as her friends advanced further and further away from her.

Right now, their strengths were still similar. But Aya feared the day when she was unable to walk alongside them.

By then, she would be unable to declare her love confidently to the boy she liked.

"Let me ask you something." Eve's expressionless voice sounded at that moment. "Are you determined to go through anything to become stronger?"

Aya was startled. She looked at the fox girl and saw Eve's golden eyes staring fixedly at her, as though they wanted to test how determined she was.

The cat girl fell silent. However, her silence did not last long.

After a few seconds, her black eyes shone with determination.

"I am."

"Great." An almost unnoticeable curve appeared on Eve's lips. "From today onwards, you are my student."

Aya immediately kneeled on the ground respectfully.

"Aya greets her master."

"Mm. Rise. I will explain to you the training we are going to do."

"Yes, master."

Eve looked at Aya with a satisfied expression.

Actually, it was not on a whim that she accepted Aya as her student. Eve had been thinking about it for a long time.

Just as Wave's grandfather said, Eve's lifespan was coming to an end. She would die soon.

She did not want to see her legacy die with her, nor she wanted to leave the Beasmen Countries unprotected. Thus, she needed a successor.

To be honest, Aya was not her best choice. As Eve said, Aya was not that talented, and even with a powerful demigod as Eve teaching her, it would be doubtful if Aya could become half as strong as her.

But there was a reason why Eve still chose her.

Bloed and Regina.

Bloed was one of the most talented young men she had seen. Eve did not have any doubt that one day he would become as strong as her, or even stronger.

As for Regina, she was already her equal. In fact, Eve was not sure if she could defeat Regina if they fought seriously.

And Aya had a very close relationship with the two of them.

Teaching Aya meant helping her to remain by Bloed's side. That way, if Eve was unable to break through the limits and extend her lifespan, then at the very least, there will be two peak demigods more, Bloed and Regina, with a close relationship to the Beastmen Countries.

Yes, the reason Eve chose Aya as her student was not that she valued her talents, but that she valued her close relationship with Bloed.

In the end, Eve was once the Saintess of Moonlight Glow. Her biggest priority was the safety of the Beastmen Countries.

' She will be sad if she learns about it.'

Eve felt guilty for using Aya this way, but in the end, this was what Aya wanted as well. Aya wanted to become stronger to remain by Bloed's side.

Plus, although Eve was using Aya, she was planning to teach her seriously.

"Get ready." She said expressionlessly and extended her hand, creating a magic circle that glowed with dim light. "It will be painful. If you want to become stronger, you must endure."

"I will."

The next second, Eve extended her hand and touched Aya's forehead.

The cat girl did not feel anything at the start, but a few seconds later, her expression turned pale.

Then, an unimaginable pain attacked her brain.

"Aaagggg!"

"Endure." Eve's deadpan voice sounded in her ear. "You must not faint."

Aya's mind became clear. She then gritted her teeth and muffled her groans of pain.

She must endure. She could not fall behind the man she loved.

She was going to become someone strong enough to stand beside him.

But as soon as she strengthened her determination, Aya felt the pain becoming stronger.

She wanted to scream in pain, she wanted to escape. She wanted to faint to escape from this torture.

But she did not give up.

Until the end, she did not groan in pain. Even when she felt as though her soul was being melted away, she remained silent.

When Eve finished, the cat girl was soaked in sweat, and she fainted directly.

"Well done," Eve said softly.

Aya did not know, but what Eve had just done was to modify her soul.

She had fine-tuned it to make it more suitable for her techniques.

It was part of Eve's path. The results of her many years of research to break through the world's limits.

And now, Aya had received it.
