Chapter 505: Nati's Perspective

The room was quiet when the two left, all of them waiting for the sounds of more doors closing before anyone decided to speak their thoughts, with Xilly being the one to break the silence.

“Yeah, I don’t like him.”

“Unfortunately, I agree,” Zallith said. “He seems a competent enough teacher, but I simply can’t make myself like anyone who would treat a god like that.”

“That’s not the problem you religious nut. Did you see his face when I said he could read our minds? He was definitely not happy, plus he tried to talk us into it again later. And that’s not even mentioning trying to invite us to dinner. Ugh, I knew it, humans are the worst.”

While Nati tried to remain neutral, she couldn’t deny a bit of distaste from the final offer as well. As one of the few on the world who could say they were a close relative of a god, she had had plenty of people try to warm up to her in the past, she didn’t want to deal with more, even if they were being sent by her grandfather.

Especially if Xilly is right about what else he might be here for.

Still, even if that was the case they would just have to make things clear that he wasn’t welcome. As long as he left after teaching them everything they were supposed to learn then it would be fine.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

“Whatever else there is to say about him, there’s no denying that he’s well-educated,” She told them, trying to be positive as she walked over and flipped through the books. “Skilled too given that small display.”

“Ugh, don’t remind me. Showing off to get our attention? Gross.”

“...Fine,” The summoned girl gave in, looking thoroughly deflated as she began reading through the list of projects and referencing the book Ben had made as well. “If we’re going to be stuck here doing this then Zallith, you’re on food duty. Hurry up and get us something.”

“I’m not your servant.”

“The granddaughter of your god needs to keep up her strength if we're going to be doing this for another few hours so chop-chop already.”

It was a simple provocation but it did the trick, getting the high priest to go bring them their meals, even if he grumbled about as he was leaving, letting the two of them get to work on the first enchantment.

It might take a few hours but we’ll be done in no time, how hard can this be?

This is impossible.

Failed attempt after failed attempt, they just couldn’t get the hang of it no matter how many hours wore on. She understood that ritual magic was treated almost as a lost art because of how hard it was to use, but she never expected it to be that bad.

I think I see why mindreading is supposed to be such an asset for this. Getting that last level looks like it’s a priority.

As long as one of them got it then they’d be able to hear each other's thoughts instead of just feeling their emotions and it was becoming more and more obvious that they wouldn’t be having any success until they got there, forcing her to consider the bit of advice for raising the skill Ben had given.

Hire tamers, get some volunteers, and rent out a zoo, I guess this is going to be a busy few days.
