Chapter 114: Returning to University

Reaching Akira's apartment Eric just pushed open the door and entered inside, as he was greeted by the normalcy of the life inside this apartment.

Tina was lying on the couch in the saloon watching TV and not seeming to care in the least about what happened outside her comfort zone.

Mina was cooking something in the kitchen as soon would be dinner time, while Akira seemed to be in the bedroom, still thinking about her decision and what she witnessed the previous night.

This quiet and peaceful environment was disturbed by Eric's arrival, but only Mina came in front of him and jumped in his embrace.

She had truly missed him until now, and to be frank she was bored being with Tina in the house, not talking or doing anything.

Now that Eric had returned she could finally break that boring and frightening silence and inactivity, as she started teasing him with her curves, and body.

On the other hand, Eric was really tired, but feeling her teasing, and their bodies rubbing to each other, a new fire, and source of energy started to appear inside him.

With those thoughts in mind he started touching and feeling more of her body, and shapes, as he took her as she was in his embrace, and placed her over Tina on the couch.

Tina was clearly startled from the created situation as she tried to escape from it, but she didn't have enough strength to do such a thing, and she was forced to be a cushion for Mina on the couch.

It didn't take long for the rugged breaths and moans to spread over the saloon, where an intense battle took place between Eric and the two ladies.

The battle didn't last long as it was more of a sample for what would happen later, as they still had to eat dinner first.

But one could clearly see that Mina was like a little flower that had finally been watered after a long time.

During the dinner, everything seemed peaceful, as the only audible sounds were the sounds of the spoons and plates clashing.

Everyone around the table was especially quiet this night, where everyone had their own things to think and sort out.

Especially for Akira, she had to make a decision, and make her resolve, and then give an answer to Eric. That decision could change her whole life, not that her life hadn't changed already.

She was in a big dilemma, because she had gone from one mother who wanted to have her revenge at all cost, to a woman thinking for a life beside her man, through thick and thin, and a lot of blood.

Eric on the other hand seemed to be more focused on the food in front of him, as he was in deep thoughts, about how to go from now on.

Things were getting truly serious from now on, as he would be dealing with people with true power inside the country.

Unwillingly he had entered the radar of the big powers, and old fogies on the shadows, but there was no way out of it, with the way the things flowed.

The good side of this was that he finally had a place where he could build his base and that he would be able to develop even faster.

He had let the recruitment to Shiro and Daisuke, as he was searching for people who could train them.

As a matter of fact, he already had a list with a few names on his mind, but he had to find and convince them first.

Like this, the dinner didn't last long, but it felt otherwise. After the dinner, Eric went about his business with Mina, and Tina in the saloon, but he left Akira alone to think about her decision.

The next day Eric awakened refreshed and feeling really good, as he was able to meditate a bit during the night, and gained a bit more comprehension on the death law.

He could now use it in a better and more efficient way theoretically, but to confirm it he would have to practice with it for a bit.

He was confident in himself that he only needed to practice one or two times in reality, and he would be able to learn how to use it perfectly.

Right now he had more important things to think about though. After buying the 1st level alchemic skills from the system, he felt like he could recognize all the herbs for level 1 pills and potion and concoct them.

The problem with all this new knowledge was the fact that the naming of the herbs belonged to the Immortal World.

He had never heard about some of the names in his knowledge, and he would have to update the list with the equivalent herbs, and their equivalent properties with the herbs found on Earth.

For this reason, he needed to have a large database with the types of herbs and their qualities from which he could learn from.

What better place was there to find what he needed more than his university, and its library to be more specific.

Of course, the internet was also a viable solution, but there were articles that he couldn't read with only internet access, and he also had to think about the spam and wrong information in there.

Not to mention that he hadn't attended classes for a long time, and he wished to see the witty Yoshida Gina and his unforgettable professor Tatsuya Minami.

In fact, he was thinking that it would be for the best if he could copy all the data inside the Tokyo University library to his brain, but that would be a truly difficult thing to do.

Right now he wasn't sure if his brain would be able to survive the information in the first place. But he would start thinking of a solution.

With these thoughts in his mind, he reached the campus of the university, as he started walking towards his auditorium.

Now that he had 'taken care' of Young Master Takeshiba Yuto, he didn't think that he would still continue to block his path into entering.

Just like his thought, there was no one waiting for him at the door, like in the previous days, and he was able to enter the auditorium calmly and carefreely.

While he didn't make a big deal of his entrance into the auditorium the same couldn't be said for the rest of the class.

In this week that he had been missing in the lessons, a lot of rumors had spread through all the campus. All of them involving a love triangle between Yoshida Gina, him, and Takeshiba Yuto.

When the previous day all those rumors had been crushed to dust when Eric accepted an affair with the Takeshiba family's young princess.

The center of the rumors then changed completely, as these rumors had clearly surprised Yoshida Gina and a few others.

These had just made the rumors fly even more off-target, as there were even some rumors of Eric being a gigolo, and the girls were paying for his services.

These rumors clearly made Eric angry, and almost throw up blood, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Whenever people had too much free time in their hands they would start making up things for other people, to make themselves feel better.

Not caring in the least about the rumors, and not even bothering to offer some kind of explanation, Eric just went ahead and sat on his seat.

Some pair of eyes were clearly fixed on him the whole time, and especially when the professor started class, but he didn't seem to care about them, as he was more concentrated on the lesson, and his own thoughts.

When the lesson finished he didn't wait for people to come up to him and start gossiping or asking him some stupid questions, so he slithered through the crowd, and made way towards the library.

Of course, there were a lot of people dissatisfied with his attitude and actions, but there was nothing they could do, as the other people could only think of new rumors and stupid ideas.

On the other hand, Eric entered the library, headed immediately to the medicine and herbs section, and started selecting thick books left and right.

He seemed like some kind of idiot that was taking the books only to show off, but he didn't care much about it, as he took the books into a corner and started reading through them in a relatively fast way.

He seemed to have forgotten everything about his surroundings, or the attention he was attracting from the people around him, and especially the attention from two emerald green eyes.

Of course, Eric was aware of those eyes, he just pretended to not be, as he continued with what he had to do at the moment.

It was only after 3 hours, that Eric raised his eyes from the books he was reading, and taking two thick books with him, he left the place.

Those two emerald green eyes followed him as he left the area, and then returned to the book they were looking at a while ago.

Eric would have preferred to stay there a bit longer, as he was making some really good progress with the herbs naming, and properties, but he had just gotten a message from Takeshiba Aika.

In her message, she told him that she had made her decision, and she needed to meet him so that she could announce her decision.

The message was short and carried no emotion, but Eric already knew what she was thinking and what her decision was. At the end of the day, she was his slave, so he could feel her thoughts as his own.

What surprised him though was the fact that Takeshiba Aika and Akira were going to meet him, and announce their decision together.

Probably the fact that they had that experience together had made them become close to each other unconsciously. Anyway, it was time for him to hear their answer…
