Chapter 37: The three girls

He could still feel a chill run down his spine at the thought of how he was finished in just three moves.

First, the man had tapped his legs, making them about a thousand time heavier than they were supposed to be.

Then he moved to his chin, shifting the weight of his body once again, except his made it as light as paper, which explained why he floated up just from one tap.

Then with that last attack, he increased the weight of the wooden pole in his hands, before slamming it into his abdomen.

A chill ran down his spine as he remembered the feeling of the pole striking him with immense force, before sending his body flying like a rag doll.

Though he managed to stand up on his feet, his insides were a mess, and his abdomen still ached terribly.

"You’re still able to stand, that’s impressive... really impressive." Kurt suddenly said, resting the pole on his shoulder.

"But you should go to the medical unit, before your injuries get any worse." He continued, his eyes narrowing at Liam.

’What was that?’ He thought, remembering how wild his senses were tingling back when Liam was about to charge at him.

At that moment, he felt like something extremely dangerous was about to happen, and before he realised, he had already taken activated his blessing, instantly taking care of the threat.

But he still couldn’t help but wonder... just what was it that Liam had up his sleeves?

"I’m fine..." Liam sharply replied, his face squeezing into a frown.

"I’ve already confirmed it, the type of blessing you have." Kurt said, ignoring his previous reply. "It’s a physical blessing, one extremely rare and very powerful."

Meanwhile, the students eyes widened in surprise at his words, muttering what he said to themselves.

They were finally able to understand it... why Liam changed so much, and why he was able to trade blows with the instructor the way he did.

But then, some of them still felt that the man had been too harsh in the sparring, the scene of Liam getting whacked through the air burned permanently in their minds.

"L-Liam..." Emma muttered, his eyes flickering with worry as she stared at the injured figure of Liam in the distance.

He didn’t even turn to her throughout the fight, a fact that made her feel a slight pang in her chest.

Rex who was by her side also noticed her worried expression, and he seethed in anger.

’A physical blessing... a physical blessing he said...’ He thought, grinding his teeth in annoyance.

He definitely knew the meaning of a physical blessing, but thinking back to what happened at the medical unit, the chills he felt in the spine... was that really what happened to Liam?

’He’s more like... a demon...’ He mumbled inwardly without realising, his body trembling slightly.

However, he quickly shook his head, feeling stupid for even thinking about something like that.

Meanwhile, Liam’s face remained squeezed into a frown as he stared at the combat instructor.

’A physical blessing? What bullshit.’ He thought, making a low scoff.

Although it was quite rare, there were people in this world with great physical capabilities.

Some were about three times stronger than the average human, and some could be five times faster than the average human.

Such physical capabilities were mostly as a result of strenuous training and exercise, but to the church, it was counted as a ’physical blessing’, from the holy goddess.

An example of this would be a person who ran everyday for many years or months, or someone who lifted weights to build their muscles and increase their strength.

At the end of the day, it would be expected that their strength or speed would be higher than that of an average person, due to the result of all their training.

Such cases were usually quite common among those who failed to awaken their blessing.

In order to deal with the trauma and depression that came with being without a blessing, most of them decided to train their bodies, or pick up a martial art to train in.

It was all to compensate for their lack of blessings, so they wouldn’t feel too terrible about themselves.

However, no matter what kind of training they did, the result would just be regarded as a physical blessing.

To the church, the goddess was the only reason they were able to live.

They believed every breath they took, every step, and even their every action, was all due to her grace and sufficient love for them.

So to them, the only reason a person could train and see the results was due to the grace of the goddess.

Nonetheless, Liam never believed in such things, having lost his faith in the goddess a long time ago.

But hearing his newfound strength being attributed to her irked him to his core.

’Whatever though...’ He thought, his brows furrowing into a frown.

His hand subconsciously clutched his stomach once more, the frown on his face deepening slightly.

"Like I said before, you should visit the medical unit, before your injuries get worse." Kurt suddenly said, narrowing his eyes at him.

’I’m fine though, I can even go on.’ Liam thought.

Though where he was hit was still hurting, the pain was rapidly reduced, as the wound was starting to heal up.

[I don’t think you should continue this fight. You’ve already shown enough, any more than this... and he might start to suspect you.]

Lilith said, her tone sounding quite serious.

’Yeah... I guess you’re right...’ Liam thought, gnashing his teeth in annoyance.

He might have gotten a lot stronger, but he still couldn’t fully display his powers, or else the academy might start to get suspicious of him.

However, he still couldn’t help but feel bitter, especially as a notification flashed across his eyes.

[Quest Failed!]

’Damn it...’ Liam thought, clenching his fists. ’I failed the quest.’

Nonetheless, he tried not to show his frustration on his face, and instead went down on one knee, feigning a pained grunt.

"Yeah... you’re right..." He mumbled, his eyes flashing with anger.

Kurt simply nodded his head, gesturing to two students to assist him to the medical unit.

Emma subconsciously stepped forward, but in the next second, three girls suddenly brushed past her, rushing towards Liam with cheeky smiles on their faces.

One of them in particular caught her attention—a very stunning young woman with slender body and mesmerising long blue hair cascading down her back.

’E-Elsa...?’ Emma thought, watching in surprise as the blue haired girl rushed to Liam’s side.

She felt a slight pang in her chest as she watched her place her hand on Liam’s shoulders, softly muttering something in his ear.

’W-what... is wrong with me?’ She thought, turning her head away while clenching her fist.

Rex easily noticed her weird behaviour, and he glanced back at Liam, his hands trembling slightly.

’Does she... care for him? No... that can’t be...’ He thought, shaking his head in denial.

Meanwhile, Liam’s face remained squeezed in a frown as he stared at the system message displayed in front of him.

He kept on replaying his fight with Kurt over and over again, wondering how he could have won, even if he didn’t use his skills.

But then, a sweet, strawberry scent suddenly wafted into his nostrils, and his eyes widened in surprise.

The scent slowly got stronger, and a pair of soft hands gently rested on his shoulder.

"How do you feel?" A soft, sultry voice whispered into his ears, while a few strands of light blue hair brushed against his cheeks, sending a tingle down his spine.

He turned his head slightly, his gaze meeting with the girl’s bright blue eyes.

Her bright blue eyes stared back at him and her lips slowly curled into a warm smile.

Her slender body was like a fine work of art, delicate and graceful, yet her curves exuded an undeniable allure.

"Go on instructor Kurt! I’ll help him there..." She said, a slight blush creeping up her cheeks.

The two other girls who came along with her also appeared in front of him, dragging with them a black stretcher.

They giggled to themselves, their eyes flickering with a strange glint even as they pulled the stretcher.

Seeing the stretcher, Liam easily knew what they wanted to do, and he almost collapsed in embarrassment.

"There’s no need... for that..." He said, a bead of sweat rolling down his forehead. "I’ll walk..."

Nonetheless, the girls remained adamant about placing him on the stretcher, and before Liam even knew it, he found himself lying flat on it, with his head facing upwards.

’How... did things even get to this point?’ He thought.

"Don’t worry Liam... we’ll get you there... safe and sound." The blue haired girl suddenly appeared in front of him, her lips curled into a smirk.

"Yes..." The other girls nodded in unison, while Liam simply watched as they all stood above him, giggling to themselves.
