Chapter 102 102 A happy hug

[El's POV: ]

She proposed something fun so I just played along and my little proposal made things even more fun.

'Hehehe, this makes things easier.'

We were standing before each other some distance away and she had one of her favorite snipers in her hand, charging up with all the Mana she was feeding it.

'She is a good marksman but still, if I had to evaluate her current condition myself, I would say the guns she had are mostly stuff from this world or the system store.

They are good but not something as good as our upgraded weapons or even some of the things from higher parts of the Worldline.'

They were usable, but she can definitely use some better things. It wasn't like she had to worry about the restrictions of this world like most of us.

'But she doesn't know that, haaaa...'

It was going to be fun playing with her, kek. Especially her unique powers.

"I'm ready~."

We were going to perform a single last attack with the most power we could show, which meant she would use almost half of her power, maybe a little less, and I would use my twenty percent~.

"Yes."

She nodded solemnly, aimed her large magic gun at me, channeled a good amount of her Mana in it, used her skills to reinforce the gun, bullet, as well as output, and calmed herself perfectly.

Then she looked at me with the eyes of a sniper looking at their prey, sharp, ferocious.. cute.

Some patterns on her gun started glowing as the atmospheric Mana started moving toward the tip of its barrel, and when a little dot of light was visible inside the barrel, it meant she was ready. So, I got ready as well.

'Hmmm, looks like [Blaze-3] is enough.'

Extending my hand and channeling some of my Mana, I summoned a simple flame first. Then, with a little more Mana, I refined those flames and they changed from a dull orange to a pale blue and then into an almost white one with a little hint of blue.

'Good~.'

The [Blaze-3] flames on my flame index, flames of vaporization.

They were enough for her attack this time so I also nodded at her, and at this signal, without waiting, she pulled the trigger and released her attack.

-Click.

-Oooooooooooskt..!

And with it, unleashed a powerful beam of blue light.

-Zaaaaaaa..

I released my white flames as well, which transformed into a huge pillar of fire as soon as it was some distance away.

"..?!"

"Lolololol."

Lux was shocked, her eyes wide open as she saw how that simple white fireball turned into that huge pillar, and that shock deepened when she saw her own attack colliding with it, and vanishing inside it completely.

It almost seemed like my white flames devoured her blue beam of light, something unprecedented from her point of view. N0v3l-Bin was the first platform to present this chapter.

But, it was true, and it wasn't the end.

The pillar of fire continued forward towards her, and she knew it was dangerous just from the heat of those flames so, she summoned her [Mana barrier] and proceeded to defend against it, which was certainly a cute sight~.

-Snap.

"Do you understand now?"

I snapped my finger when the pillar of fire had reached close enough to her shield and, the matter-eating flame pillar that had completely destroyed her strong attack, vanished completely like it was never there.

"My magic is strong."

She didn't have to react like that but she didn't know almost anything about me yet, so that cute reaction was understandable. I liked it quite a bit actually.

"Hehehe, it is my win right?"

She was still a little surprised when the pillar of fire was gone and the ground that was turned into scorching magma due to the fire, was back to normal with my earth and water spells.

The look on her face was quite something, but more than that, the way she was analyzing the situation and trying to judge if I was any kind of threat to her or something with that quick calculation and analysis of the situation and the powers I showed her, was even cuter.

'But I was simply smiling, nothing more, nothing sus.'

She found nothing too, so after retracting her Mana barrier and putting her gun back into her [Inventory], she sighed with a smile. An innocent smile she could only make because she didn't know me yet.

"Yes, I lost. Your magic skill was definitely beyond my expectations."

[You have defeated an opponent.]

[The opponent does not possess any points.]

[100 Points have been obtained.]

"Hehe, it wasn't a skill~. Didn't I say? It's 'magic'."

"Magic..?"

She was confused once again, but I didn't have to explain more than that. I knew she would understand what I meant after a little contemplation.

'Skills were everything in the Worldline, it was a fact. But, what kind of skills we are talking about and how we use those skills changed everything about it.'

My [Elemental magic] was a special skill that allowed us to use the power of elements directly, decreasing the difficulty of spell casting, mana consumption, and the required greater calculation, as well as increasing the power and efficiency of one's spells.

'Simply put, it is a skill that makes the use of elemental magic easier.'

And it was a [Rank-3] skill so there was no way I was gonna sell it to some outsiders.

"Anyway, you won. Which means I will have to hear your request. But before that, hello. I'm Lux. Nice to meet you."

She didn't want to think about that magic stuff right now so she just skipped it, as I knew she would, and extended her hand with her introduction.

'The last time, our introduction happened after a month of the academy in 'that festival', but this is better~!'

It was nice seeing the smiling face of someone we were pretty much going to use as a tool, but she was a pretty and nice tool, so she deserved a hug instead of this simple handshake.

"Nice to meet you too Lux~. I'm Auriel but you can call me El~."

The surprise hug from a hottie like me, the sensation of our bodies touching, the feeling of my boobies touching hers, the touch of skin, our unique scents becoming one, and the meeting of our individual auras was very new for her. So now that she broke out into a blush.

"E-eeeh? Y-y-yes. Auriel-l I will remember t-that."

She was flabbergasted, especially because of the squeeze.

'Hehe. I'm slightly bigger this time. Hehehe.'

My past self couldn't be called small, it was perfect, too perfect for my Lucy, but I certainly used to be the smallest among the female leads of this game. But that wasn't the case anymore~. I was better than this girl, a little less than Nes, and.. right. We don't talk about Cathy. That busty little cow.

I was still perfect for my bastard. Not that he can do anything if I grew up to be more mature... he will have to accept it and sleep on them like a good baby boy he was.

Still, that used to be in the terms of FLs only. I still used to be bigger than most of the supporting characters and now, I'm better than them.

'And the fact that Lily is a cute little flat-board will forever remain true.'

It will be fun when we all have our first group bath~! I can't wait for that day, fuck~! The hot springs~!
