Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 52 A Place Of Our Own



"I hope you do have a way to work this out..." She said in a low voice as she leaned her face against his chest, worried about the future of this man who had given her so many thrills.

"Don\'t worry too much about that for now. I\'ll at least have some more time before they try to approach me with suspicion." He comforted her, playing with Elke\'s wavy red hair.

\'Not as long as I would like.\' She then sighed deeply and said softly. "Yes, that is probably true..."

After a few seconds of silence, Lothur continued hugging her and said. "Anyway, since you\'re already here, why don\'t we find something to do? I have the next hour free before continuing my business."

"Oh?" Her eyes sparkled as she remembered something she had accomplished the night before. "Speaking of which, I have something perfect for us to do now."

"Really? And what would that be?"

She looked at him with a genuine smile and said excitedly. "Yesterday, I spoke with my family, and they gave me permission to find a place for me in the academy dormitory."

"With that, I just need to go to the administration of Sector-1 to do the formalities, and then I will get a more private place for us."

Hearing this, Lothur smiled, pleased by this woman\'s initiative. "That\'s perfect."

"Let\'s do it now!" He took one of her hands and promptly started his way towards the administration of this sector while thinking about how convenient such a thing would be.

And seeing Lothur\'s determined look, Elke smiled graciously, following him as she felt a magnificent sensation in her being, which made her forget about the previous problem.

\'What will we do after that?\' Her face got all flushed as she looked at Lothur\'s body.

...

Upon arriving at the local administration, Lothur and Elke sat in the waiting area of that place, waiting for the person in charge of the academy dormitory.

And while doing so, the two were talking about matters that every institution student had to engage in.

"I picked up my first mission today, Elke."

"Oh? Are you already going to do that? Many students only do their first missions after months of studying here." She looked at him curiously, a little worried.

Elke naturally had many questions about Lothur, as she had already observed and noted a number of peculiar characteristics about him, mysteries that made her eager to learn more about his story.

Things like his talent and his unexplained presence in Sector-1. The fact that he was much stronger than people from Sector-1, but she could not sense any cultivation in his body. And also the strange stories related to the good-for-nothing Frost family son-in-law.

All this and more had been making this woman think about him constantly, having even had her dreams invaded by Lothur.

And hearing that he was already getting involved with the competitive part of the academy had stirred some of her concerns. After all, if he was too quick, that might not be the best thing for her.

Lothur then said. "Well, as I told you first, I want to reach the top of this academy. So, I must start doing those missions as soon as possible."

"Speaking of which, since there is a possibility of team missions, why don\'t we work together on something? That could be beneficial to us in many ways..."

"That..." She looked at him in surprise, not expecting such an invitation.

Usually, she would not like joining other people as it would mean having to share responsibilities, which bothered her, especially given her low talent. But doing it with Lothur was relatively tempting.

"I\'m not sure..."

"I don\'t want to get in your way." She looked away from him, embarrassed.

Lothur then put one of his hands around her waist and said quietly. "I doubt that you will get in my way. In fact, there are many ways you can help me during academy missions."

"Is that so? How?"

"Simple, you are smarter and have more information than I do. So obviously, we make a good duo!"

"As for raw power, you shouldn\'t worry about that. I would never let a woman of mine take unnecessary risks." He smiled.

Elke turned even redder after hearing those words, but she felt great to hear that from him.

\'Other than that, we can work on your talent in the future.\' He looked at her mysteriously.

[Name: Elke Becker]

[Cultivation: level 1]

[STR: 1.2] [CON: 1.8] [DEX: 2.3] [AGI: 2.6]

Lothur could not see other people\'s talent as that was a mental attribute, something difficult to quantify using only his Perception. But even though he did not know how much this characteristic of Elke\'s was worth, he understood that it should not be high.

In any case, there were cultivation resources in this world that could increase one\'s talent, so he did not think it was a waste of time to be by Elke\'s side.

There was no telling about tomorrow; he might not even be in this world in a year. So, worrying about her future at the moment was the least of his worries.

He, Lothur, preferred to live in the moment!

Therefore, even though he was not in love with Elke at the moment, he had an interest in being with her and helping her solve that problem, if possible.

Thus, he was not worried about her low talent.

He then continued. "On the other hand, I can see that you will soon reach the 2nd Transformation. So it will be a good thing if we can accumulate merit points together."

She smiled and turned sideways to him as she used one of her hands to scratch her eyes, hiding a tear that had just dripped from one of her eyes.

"Then I\'ll do it the way you said..." She commented softly, just before her name was called by the person in charge of the local dormitory.

"Elke Becker, room number 3."

After hearing this, the two got up and headed towards that room in the same area Lothur had visited just a few days ago.

Just as they were walking down the corridor there, the two came across the director of this sector, a middle-aged man with a long beard and gray hair.

Seeing that young man standing there, the director stopped in front of Lothur and Elke, curious.

"Lothur?"

"What are you doing here?" He found it strange that such a troublemaker was accompanying the young lady of the Becker family. \'This guy...\'

\'Don\'t tell me he\'s disturbing this student?\' The director remembered Lothur\'s dirty record, worried if this lad was already about to break the rules of this institution.

The Morning Star Academy naturally did not prevent its students from having relationships, as long as they were adults, of course. However, any kind of harassment, stalking, blackmail, or things like that was forbidden by this institution.

Thinking about these rules, that man soon became concerned about Elke being pursued by Lothur.

Lothur then replied. "I am accompanying my friend Elke."

"Is there a problem?"

"Friend?" The director repeated this, not believing Lothur one bit.

Finally, he looked at Elke and got straight to the point. "Miss Becker, is he telling the truth? If he is bothering you, just say the word, and I will solve whatever problem there is."

Elke looked surprisingly at that man, finding all this distrust of Lothur strange. \'He acts as if Lothur is an outlaw...\'

\'How disrespectful for a director!\'

She said. "Lothur and I have only known each other for a short time, but we became friends after showing him the academy."

"What?" That man almost choked dry upon hearing that. "Is that true?"

"Sure, I wouldn\'t lie to you, director."

,m "That..." He looked at Lothur surprisedly, giving this young man credit. \'It seems that this fellow has skills with women.\'

"Sigh..."

"All right, go on your way."

...

After talking for almost 20 minutes with the person in charge of the local dormitory, Elke and Lothur had heard the rules of that area and then retrieved the room key she was entitled to.

Elke\'s family was wealthy, so after her parents\' approval, she got a good place in the local dormitory.

Hence, she had not had to compete for the standard rooms with other students and immediately got a nice 60-square meter room in one of the better buildings in the local dormitory.

Knowing where her room was, Elke promptly led the way for Lothur.
