Chapter 89  A Blossoming Hope

Zeras looked into her green eyes as he muttered gently to her

"I believe you..."

He wasn't faking it nor trying to console her. He truly believed her. The system wouldn't give him such a quest just so he can spar with Gaia, the only thing that could have caused the system to give him such a quest was because there was an important information to be obtained from Gaia and it seems the information was the invading race.

But how does a race coming for Gaia had anything to do with him. Besides, what is so special about Gaia that made a race search for her and want to obtain her.

[Main Quest Activated: A Powerful Celestial Race is Coming To Earth, replace out more about the race...]

[Reward: Shop will be opened]

Zeras eyes revealed shock looking at the notification as that just confirmed his suspicion. What is a Celestial Race by the way.

He wanted to ask what was so special about her or what was she hiding that made a Celestial Race come to get her, but that would be a breach of her privacy.

"While I do believe in what you said, I definitely do not believe in the way you're preparing." Zeras said as they both kept on walking.

"If I'm to understand well what you said before. You said it's a secret only a few people know. If I guess well, the the EIA will definitely be among those who knew, then why are you trying to shoulder that burden all alone.

Sure, it's very good spending most of your time in training, but if you spend all of your time in training and you completely stop socialising, creating a not-so-good or boring image to others, then you'll really be on your own when the calamity comes.

There are powerful other Cadets you can definitely socialize with, and you can build quite the strong bond with others. In the end, you'll have strong powerful allies with you and won't be alone..." Zeras said causing Gaia's eyes to narrow

"I'm saying you should be more like your grandfather, Commander Shiron." Zeras.

"Oh, in what way?" "Your grandfather saw me when I was on my weakest. But he didn't ignore me, instead he asked for you to heal me and even helped me by helping me join the EIA. Besides, he also helped me with the Mana which I used to breakthrough my Mana core and begin my path of cultivation. Right now, I'm greatly indebted to him. He's like a grandfather to me. If one day, he needs help too, then I can definitely not say no to what he says. If I eventually became a powerful figure in the future, the he'll have a powerful ally with him one day he faces a problem. That's a very smart thing to do.

His helping me didn't even require much on his side, but the help I'll provide him will definitely be great in the future. And if eventually I'm only a failure, then he had nothing to lose at all. In anyway, it's a win-win." Zeras explained lenghtily to her. While it might be good for her to keep training hard, she definitely can't face an entire race on her own. So the best thing was gather allies while also increasing her strength...

"What you said make some sense... Although, I'm a good believer of the notion that socializing and all just slow down your cultivation. I'll try my best..." Gaia said as Zeras gave a nod.

"Well, just don't be too cold to others. That's all you have to do. It won't stop your cultivation at all. Anyway is the training hall always this silent?" Zeras asked as he noticed the place was completely deserted.

"Yes, very few people come here... And that number has been decreasing by the day. Now it's just me..." A cunning smile lined on Zera's lips on hearing that as holy thoughts passed in his head.

"Don't think you can use the opportunity to come here to disturb me. While killing a student is impossible, I can still break a few of your bones..." Gaia threatened as she returned to the cold and aloof Gaia.

"Ah, ah. Your mind is truly dirty. You understimate how noble my heart is..." Zeras quickly replied as waves of sweat droplets poured down his face.

'Tch, who wouldn't want a beautiful and powerful girl as a girlfriend, but it seems he's been discovered too soon. Tch, he never knew she was this smart, it was almost as if she could read his thoughts.

"Now quickly get out of here before I decide to finish our spar..." Gaia threatened.

"Ah, Ah, I'm off, looking forward to see you next time my benefactor... You know if not for your mercy on this poor soul, I would have probably been..." A bow quietly appeared in Gaia's hand as Zeras immediately disappeared from where he stood and his back could be seen in the distance rapidly fading away...

A small smile appeared on Gaia's face as she found Zeras a little amusing. One moment, he could be the arrogant young master, the next he could be the wise lecturer, the next he could be the shameless lackey. His existence was covered in fog and he was strangely not arrogant even though he was pretty powerful.

She could tell he was hiding his strength too, but he wasn't the only one... She also wasn't using her full strength at all.

"To socialize huh, maybe I should give it a try too..." Gaia said as she slowly moved back to the training room as she continued her practice.

She was happy Zeras never tried to pry too deep in her character or her life at all. It was something she greatly appreciated. She wasn't really a social person and would have end up hating him if he asked too much about her at all. That was why she rejected all kind of people who approached her and even broke some bone ls among the boys to make sure they never comeback to her again.

Sharing the information with Zeras helped her more than she thought, she had always felt the weight of the world was on her, but now that she shared it with him, she couldn't help but feel her burden lessen a little.

Not enough to make her completely confident, but enough to make her dried up hope to slowly begin blossoming once again.
