Chapter 282 Intermission part 1
While Kretos was regaining his mories and a few years have already passed in his mories, in the real world only an hour had passed. Alphonso was having a bit of difficulty adjusting the speed on the ancient relic he stole from a self-proclaid God of ti. He wanted to make the flow of ti in Kretos's dream world faster so that he would wake up sooner. Yet no matter what he did he couldn't get the artifact to work as he wanted.
"This is going to be tougher than I expected. I would've studied this thing properly if I knew that I would need to actually use it one day." Most of Alphonso's collections were things even he had no knowledge of how to use. All he really wanted them for was the joy of seeing his collection grow. He also liked the feeling of collecting such rare artifacts, from dangerous places and individuals.
'I guess I have no choice but to slowly figure out how to make this thing work more efficiently.'
...
As Alphonso was trying to figure out how to speed things up with Kretos's awakening, back in Rulwarry, Institute Of The Arcane, Afeus was having his own problems.
After Kretos's disappearance, a whole night had already passed. Henrietta visited early in the morning to see if his beloved sp*rm donor had returned. Afeus shook his head and answered.
"He hasn't been back ever since you teleported him away."
"I see... So what do you think happened to him?" Henrietta suddenly asked Afeus. Surprised by the question Afeus was montarily stunned before he started thinking about it seriously. After a mont of silence, Afeus answered.
"Kretos has always been a man of mystery, the first ti I t him was in Kerrolan Forest. He was in so sort of deep sleep. The monsters there all seem to actively avoid him as if sensing how powerful he was. He wasn't even emitting any bloodlust or mana at the ti. Yet the mont he released a tiny bit of his mana I knew imdiately that he had an incredible mana supply. It seems from the mont he woke up to yesterday his mana was increasing gradually. It seems to fluctuate whenever he rembers sothing from his past. I think every ti he rembers sothing his mana increases greatly, and yesterday's increase was too much too handle and it got a hold of him."
Henrietta nodded her head from ti to ti as she listened to Afeus's hypothesis. She looked at Afeus and beca a bit interested in the man who was supposedly the closest friend Kretos had in the institute.
"Is that so, can you tell about his mory loss. He did say he could not rember who he was, but it seems like he still rembers so basic things like his na and such."
Afeus then told Henrietta of the day he t Kretos and what he knew about the man. Once he was done retelling his story, Henrietta's assistant arrived and she was carrying a majestic looking chair. She placed the chair behind Henrietta who without questioning it sat down.
"So that's how it is... I believe that his mory loss isn't as simple as you think it is. It might be related to his soul."
"His soul?"
"You see based on my family's research, mana inside a human being is a combination of one's soul and life force. We know little to nothing about the soul, but we know a bit about mana. Which made my ancestor quite curious about it. After researching on supposed soul techniques, my ancestor figured out that this supposed soul techniques affected not only the invisible soul but one's mana as well. Based on what you told about Kretos, I think soone has used a powerful soul attack on him making not only his mana unstable but also affecting his mories."
As Henrietta was explaining her theory on why Kretos lost his mories, soone barged into the dorm room. Henrietta's assistant standing behind her frowned at the newcor.
"Afeus you got to see this... Hmm, what's happening here?" Mia who entered the room without warning was confused as she saw a large out of place chair in the middle of the room, and a woman glaring at her.
"It's a pleasure to et you, Professor Mia Swallow." Henrietta stood up from the chair and curtsied at Mia. When Mia saw the woman in front of her, she showed a surprised expression for a second before returning to a more neutral expression.
"No, the pleasure is mine, Lady Henrietta Wolfstein. I wonder, what could the noble lady of the Wolfstein family want with my cute little student?"
"Nothing much, I just ca here to talk about my lover, Kretos." When Mia heard Henrietta's answer she was truly shocked. The woman who was voted as the best wife candidate by the n in the Capital, actually proclaid that Kretos a man with unknown origins was her lover. This was sothing that would make the n in the capital of Serbek want to cry tears of blood.
"..." Mia wanted to say sothing but she was too shocked by the news that no words ca out of her mouth. Henrietta then passed by her and was about to leave, but before she did, she spoke to Afeus and Mia.
"It was nice talking to you Afeus, and Professor Mia once again it was a pleasure to et you. I would have wanted to talk to you more, but I have another eting I need to attend to." Henrietta bowed her head slightly and left.
After a mont of silence, Mia exploded. "What the heck was that?! Is she really Kretos's lover?! When did that happen?! Why did it happen?!" Mia's face ca close to Afeus's who started blushing. He couldn't help himself, to see such a pretty face so close to his. He then pushed Mia back and answered. He started explaining what happened yesterday.
"So much has happened... I see..." Mia beca quiet as she started pondering about sothing. Afeus waited for her to say sothing more, but when it was clear that she was in her own little world, Afeus spoke first.
"Umm, Professor, why did you co here so early in the morning? It seems like you were about to say sothing important."
When Mia heard Afeus's voice she was taken away from her own thoughts. She then rembered why she ca here so early in the morning.
"Oh right, you should see this, here are the nas of the participants from our school for the upcoming tournant." Afeus read the list of nas, and there were quite a few more than he expected. Obviously Kretos's na was also there, but then he saw a na he was expecting to be there.
"Why is my na among the participants?!"
