"So, how’d it go? You manage to get her ho okay?"
"Yeah, she was struggling but sohow managed to stay conscious long enough," Aria nodded, before flopping onto the bed beside and snuggling up.
I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her closer towards , giving her a kiss on the side of the head.
"That’s good. We’ll pick up where we left off in a day or two, then," I suggested thoughtfully.
"Yeah, sounds good. What did you think, by the way? I know it didn’t last very long, but I thought she put on a pretty impressive showing," She responded with a smile.
"Mhm, definitely. She’s got room for improvent, but she’s at an impressively high level considering her lack of experience," I nodded in agreent.
"I was thinking the sa thing. Though, her inexperience did show at the end there...she opted to use lightning as a defense after I blinded her, even though she already knew I’ve got Elental Immunity," She pointed out.
"Yeah, that’s true. Speaking of Elental Immunity, I just realized, it kinda only applies to fire, lightning and ice. With the other elents, earth inflicts physical damage, even if constructed Magically, and Elental Immunity doesn’t block physical damage.
The sa goes for wind too...Wind Magic basically generates force through the air, the wind itself doesn’t have any real effect. As for water, well...if Elental Immunity blocked water, you’d never be able to wash yourself.
You get burnt if you touch fire, electrocuted if you touch lightning, and touching ice also has a physical effect. But nothing happens if you touch dirt, water or air, not in the sa way, at least. So, Elental Immunity doesn’t repel the elents, it just negates the phenonon that affect you," I surmised in fascination.
"Huh, I’ve never really put much thought into it, if I’m being honest. That is interesting, though...oh, even though heat and flas don’t affect , whenever I bleed while using Blaze Ignition, whatever blood spills out before I regenerate ends up evaporating," She responded curiously.
"Good point...in theory, it shouldn’t. Is it only your skin that the passive resistance Skill applies to? Like, does your skin basically work as insulation against heat, electricity and the cold? But, then, your hair doesn’t get burned either. Wonder if Ai has the answers?" I mused, prompting her.
"Well, that’s that, I guess. I suppose we might as well just chalk it up to Magic and move past it," Shrugged Aria with a wry smile.
"Yeah, guess so. Oh, by the way, before you began sparring against Cleo, you ntioned that you’re working on sothing in secret. Mind telling what it is?" I inquired curiously.
"Heh, nope. You’ll find out sooner or later...well, maybe. It’s been really tough, my progress with it has been super slow. That’s actually part of the reason why I haven’t revealed it yet, since there’s a decent chance that it might end up not working out," She replied sheepishly.
"Ah, gotcha. I’ll be cheering you on, hope it works out, whatever it is. Oh, where have you been working on it?"
"Outside the Sanctuary. I head out there for a couple of hours every few days or so, just to be safe. Definitely wasn’t going to do it at ho, and didn’t want to damage the Guild building either. I did consider using the training field, but I figured it wouldn’t be fair to hog it constantly."
"Yeah, fair enough."
"Oh, that’s right...it kinda slipped my mind, but I guess it’s now been over two years since we graduated and beca Hunters," Realized Aria thoughtfully.
"Huh, yeah...around this ti two years ago, we’d just graduated. And I guess it’s been around two and half years since we started talking and beca friends. So much has happened since then, it’s pretty crazy...it honestly feels like a lot longer than just two years," I responded in bemusent.
"Yeah, in hindsight, ti’s really flown. What would you say is the most morable thing that happened during the last two years?" She asked .
"Hm, good question. If we’re talking best mories, then it’s between the day we confessed to each other and the day we reunited after I returned from the Monster world. My last birthday is definitely up there too, that was an amazing day," I smiled, as I kissed the tip of her nose.
"Heh, just you wait, I’ll make sure to top it this year," She declared smugly.
"Guess I’ve got sothing to look forward to."
"Mhm, you sure do."
"What about you? What are your standout mories?" I inquired curiously.
"Pretty much the sa, actually. Though, I’d also add both my birthdays that you celebrated with , I had such a blast both tis. Oh, and the first ti we had sex, that too," She grinned, before teasingly pressing her thigh between my legs.
"Yup, that’s definitely another god-tier mory too. Okay, what about mories that don’t involve ?" I laughed in response.
"Hey, all the mories you ntioned involved too, you know, you didn’t ntion any that didn’t."
"I an, can you bla ? You’re so fucking cute, so that’s only natural," I smiled, as I squeezed and pulled her cheeks.
"Mmm...honestly, I’m trying to think, but I just keep thinking of stuff with you. I guess...maybe graduating and becoming a Hunter? Or maybe when I was officially promoted to Ace Rank? I don’t know, nothing really cos close to any of my mories with you," She shook her head after mulling it over for a bit.
"Yeah, I’m drawing a blank here too. I an, I was pretty stoked when I maxed out my Power Level, but the joy I felt then was nothing compared to what I feel when I’m around you," I replied, before adding with a wry smile, "Okay, that ca out cheesier than I intended, but that doesn’t change the fact that I ant every word. I love you, Aria."
"I love you too, Kai."
