Chapter 228: Meeting the Goddess Once More

it was only after two hours did Calvin came out of the lavatory.

'Fuck man, the food here is lethal... To think that a single serving of their spicy bread-wrapped boneless chicken would turn me like this...'

Calvin lamented.

'I'm really sorry for Deputy Instructor Eutem now. He's such a good guy for installing those railings on the bathroom doors. But to think that I made him lose so much money...'

'Well, it's partly his fault for not believing in me anyway...'

Calvin inwardly laughed.

As he walked out of the doors of the lavatory, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt.

It was because he seemed to have forgotten something crucial.

"Christine!" Calvin's pupils narrowed.

He immediately extinguished his presence and suppressed his breathing.

But every user of the Art of Wind-Chasing not only had superior movement and destructive capabilities. They were also great scouts.

It was due to the fact that they were able to recognize every minute changes in the surrounding air currents. Furthermore, those that were more skilled in the art were able to properly distinguish air current movements that were relevant or not.

Obviously, being at the lowest realm of the Art of Wind-Chasing, the Gathering Breath Realm—Christine must still be able to detect minute changes in the surrounding air currents...

But it should be impossible for her to distinguish between negligible and relevant air current movements.

This was why...

Calvin randomly picked up a rock and he hurled it in the direction of the ladies dormitory area.

Immediately afterwards, he ran with the balls of his feet and lightly flitted across the training grounds towards the male dormitory area.

Upon having arrived at his own room inside the dormitory area, Calvin was finally able to sigh in relief.

"Damn that was a hectic run..."

He couldn't help but inwardly comment.

"All right. let's call it a day."

Calvin tucked himself underneath his blanket when his eyes suddenly opened widened.

'I came here last Thursday, so today must also be Thursday...'

'But since it's already about midnight, so today must be Friday!'

'It's the end of the week already!'

Calvin cried out in his heart, "I have to go and visit Grace's Heavenly Abode!"

He closed his eyes and called out for the corresponding technique that would activate the Heavenly Abode Visitation Pass.

In an instant, a flood of information washed over Calvin's brain.

This bestowal of information was transient, so it didn't cause Calvin that much harm nor pain.

He stood up and looked for his backpack.

His backpack contained some essential oils and staple mysticism ingredients that he would definitely need to use the Heavenly Abode Visitation Pass.

After only a few seconds of rummaging, Calvin retrieved a vial of menthol oil diluted with half parts mineral oil. A pinch of Ladies' Dust, a few drops of Pure Water, and a drop of Calvin's blood as the evidence and personification of his true identity.

The ingredients for the activation of the Heavenly Abode Visitation Pass seemed mundane, but if one didn't have a crucial ingredient, then one would never be able to enter the Heavenly Abode of the Goddess of All-Encompassing Light.

That crucial ingredient was the Emperor's Commandment.

After confirming that he had successfully gathered the necessary items.

Calvin stood at the center of the room and dropped a single drop of Pure Water at the center of the room. Then, he dropped another one, then another one, and another one... until when the dots were connected, they would vaguely form the sign of the All-Encompassing Light.

Afterwards, Calvin crushed the vial of menthol oil that was combined with equal parts mineral oil.

He then rubbed the slippery substance on his glabella, then patted it dry with a pinch of Ladies' Dust.

The fragrance of menthol and Ladies' Dust assaulted Calvin's nerves.

The menthol made him indescribably calm, while the Ladies' Dust seemed to elevate his senses into a higher dimension.

While he was drunk in the sensation, Calvin started to chant.

"Oh, our Beloved Goddess Grace..."

"The Magister of Light and the commander of compassion..."

"I invoke your name with my essence, bestow blessings upon your lowly servant..."

"For my authority came from thee, upon the gates of thy abode for me!"

The Visitation Pass was activated the moment Calvin's sentence was completed.

Immediately, he was surrounded by the dizzying sensation of crossing through the void, but it only lasted for a short while. It was because when the effects of the numbing Ladies' Dust finally disappeared, he found himself standing inside a lavishly-decorated mansion.

"Oh, I felt a disturbance in the space from outside the cube. It turns out that it's you..." Grace approached him with a smile on her face.

She was wearing a plain white t-shirt paired with pink short pants that greatly emphasized her long legs.

"What are you staring at?" Grace raised her brows.

Calvin immediately turned his gaze away and stood up.

Coughing, he cleared his throat and asked, "I apologize for arriving here so late."

"It doesn't matter, time and space is an easily manipulated concept in my Heavenly Abode." Grace nonchalantly waved her hand.

"I know, but you probably waited a week for me, right?"

"Why do you say so?" Grace looked at him in intrigue.

"It's pretty obvious..."

"My comrades are here with you, and considering their affiliation to evil due to their resentment—you must've been unable to exert too much of your divinity, or else they might randomly turn to dust while they are close to you."

Calvin had just arrived in the Heavenly Abode, yet he had already discovered the root of Grace's worries in the past week.

"Yeah, it's a pain in the ass. I'm thrilled that you're here now so they can finally return to the Bloodstone."

"What did you do to the Bloodstone?"

"Nothing much, I just manipulated its empty space so that it'll resemble a house instead of just an empty void. You wouldn't want your friends to be depressed while waiting for you to let them out, right?"

"At least they can have some entertainment while they are inside the Bloodstone..."

Grace looked proud as she said all of these.

She even stuck her chest out and seemed to be expecting something from Calvin.

"Grace, did you really exist ever since the world was created?" He couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, why? Are you doubting my power?" Grace coldly scoffed.

"No, no, no..." Calvin hurriedly replied.

"What is it then?"

"N-Nevermind..." Calvin didn't dare to voice his thoughts out loud anymore as he continued, "You did a pretty good job."

"No, don't get too excited yet." Grace raised a finger and shook it left and right, "I made one more modification that you would definitely find convenient!"

"Oh?" Calvin was finally intrigued, "What is it?"

"The attribute of ever-changing!"

"What is that?" Calvin stared seriously at Grace.

"Well, it's not that of a big deal actually. I just gave the Bloodstone the ability to change its size according to the user's will."

"I see..." Calvin lightly chuckled, "Wait, why are you staring at me like that?"

He furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Grace staring at him with her cheeks puffed.

But Grace didn't say anything. Instead, she kept on staring at him with this look of expectation in her eyes.

"Fine..." Calvin bitterly smiled and said, "I'll play a game or two with you before we leave."

"Yes!" Grace jumped in joy, "It's a promise! You aren't getting out of here until you won a match against us!"

"Interesting... So you're that confident?"

"What are we going to play anyway?"

"It's a secret! Come upstairs if you want to see what we're playing!"

"Tssk, why bother trying to keep it a secret?" Calvin didn't know what was going through Grace's mind right now.

But the moment he opened the doors to the game room upstairs, he was stunned to see the Mortician, Daylight Bride, and Stephanie playing a game of Grand Turismo!
