Eve, Adelle, and Aoi are all together, they’re in the guild building of the [Coldvale].
And to be exact, they’re inside of an underground training ground.
It’s a room as big as a football field and there’s a lot of high-class equipment all around the area. From automated sparring dummies to enchanted obstacle courses, everything about the place screams expensive and advanced.
Anyway, Aoi is standing tall at the very far end of the room.
And she’s consecutively firing mana-coated arrows toward the other side of the room with her very precise and swift hand movements!
But all of the arrows Aoi shot were being blocked!
And the one responsible for blocking them was Adelle!
Adelle is at the opposite side of the room.
And she’s currently using various defensive magics to prevent Aoi’s arrow from hitting her!
"Aoi keeps hitting the same area again and again...!"
Adelle exclaimed, annoyed.
’This is why I hate marksman!’
’And the worst is because I’m a support, they always target me first!’
She thought as she strengthened the mana barrier around her just in case.
Also Aoi is currently under many debuffs that were casted by Adelle to her!
This is how both of them are training for hours now!
Their breathings are already getting heavier, and beads of sweat are trailing down their faces, yet neither of them seems to be planning to stop any time soon. Aoi’s brows are furrowed in focus, while Adelle’s eyes are constantly glowing due to her magic activation.
And while all of that are happening... Eve is relaxing at the resting area and she’s currently using her phone.
"Oh, a new novel by author Night."
Eve said with curiosity.
"Eros, the weapon master..."
"What a weird title..."
Then she mumbled, scrolling through the screen of her phone.
Eve did scoff at the title of the novel, but she’s actually expecting a lot from the novel.
So without further ado, she clicked read and opened the novel. Eve started reading it.
An hour passed after Eve started reading...
Adelle and Aoi stopped their training for a while and met at the center of the room.
Then they curiously looked at Eve at the resting area.
She was frowning really hard and she seems frustrated...
"Ugh, why does it need to end at the exciting part...!"
Eve yelled while looking at her phone, she was definitely annoyed.
Adelle and Aoi heard her, they were eyeing at her from afar.
"What do you think happened?"
"Do you think it’s because of Raven?"
And Adelle replied with a question too.
"Raven is the only one who has the nerve to annoy Eve after all."
"Well, most of the time, Raven annoys Eve without him knowing."
Aoi stated after she recalled some situations where Eve got annoyed at him.
"Maybe Eve just hates Raven because they’re so similar."
"Others said that you’ll either hate or love someone similar to you after all, then Eve turned out to hate Raven because of their similarities."
Adelle then said as she remembered something she saw on the internet.
Aoi squinted her eyes.
"Yeah, they’re so similar to each other that they’re like brother and sister."
"Well, we saw Raven together with Eve’s dad privately..."
Adelle mumbled. Then her eyes widened as an idea struck her mind.
Her eyes immediately shifted toward Aoi, and with a surprised expression on her face—
"What if Raven is an illegitimate son of Sir Clifford?"
"That would explain Raven’s strength and why he’s hiding it before, also his mysterious background too!"
Adelle added with an excited look on her face now.
Meanwhile, Aoi is just frowning at her words...
"You watch too much drama that you’re getting delusional."
"But it’s possible that my guess is true."
Then Adelle replied with a sly smile.
Aoi was about to say something...
"I’ll just a huge amount again and ask for extra Chapters for myself."
When the both of them heard Eve say something again.
They shifted their eyes toward her again.
Then they glanced at each other.
"Let’s go see what she’s up to."
And so, the two of them quietly approached Eve.
As I was on my phone and reading the extra Chapters of [Eros:The Weapon Master] that I received from author Night...
"What are you doing?"
Someone appeared from my behind and asked me that with a childish tone and voice.
And glancing at her from the corner of my eye, I can see that Aoi is with her too. The both of them looks like they’re curious about something.
I replied to Adelle’s question, then I started reading again.
"What are you reading?"
But immediately after I answered, Adelle asked me another question with the same childish tone and voice!
I responded without shifting my gaze away from my phone.
Then she asked another again!
This time, I didn’t answer.
Instead, I shared the novel’s link to her and Aoi via message.
I saw both Adelle and Aoi looked at their phones.
And after that... They both sat beside me.
"Mind if we sit here?"
I shook my head in response.
"You’re already sitting anyway."
So with that, we all stopped training to read a novel...
Adelle looks like she doesn’t want to read though. But since Aoi already started, curious... She did anyway to not get left out.
An hour later after Aoi, Adelle, and Eve started reading...
[Eros: The Weapon Master]
[Nightfall d 150,000 Zeals!]
————>(Peenoise): 2nd time today, how much money do you have, want me to help you spending them?
: Harry have a minor drug problem
————>(DrugLordHarry): No I don’t
[Nightfall d 150,000 Zeals!]
: Do you have any stock Chapters?
: A new one! I’m here to support it! :3
"Wow, you’re really spending a lot of money in this author huh."
She’s at the site, [Vespera], and she’s seeing the amount of Eve’s donation for the author!
Aoi and Adelle already know that Eve is Nightfall.
In fact, they made their own accounts too!
Adelle’s username is EmeraldSky.
While Aoi’s username is Violet.
Anyway, at Adelle’s words— Eve looked at her.
"I’m pressuring the author to update more, and donating is the most effective way to do that."
"Also, I’m just using small money. So it’s no biggie."
Then she added casually, shrugging.
Adelle thinks that Eve is quite scary when she smirks like that, so she just agreed to her.
"Anyway, this novel is really good."
Then she shifted the topic, Adelle was talking about [Eros: The Weapon Master].
"Yeah, the author’s other novel is good too. I recommend it."
Eve replied to her, she sounded a little happy after saying that.
(She’s a bit happy that Adelle and Aoi are taking the same interest as her.)
"Oh, they have another one?"
"I’ll check it later."
Adelle genuinely said.
It’s true that she found the novel she just read interesting. Even though she’s really reluctant to read it earlier.
As a matter of fact, Adelle already caught up to the latest Chapter of [Eros: The Weapon Master].
And she noticed one thing while reading it...
’The protagonist was very similar to Raven and Eve, weird.’
Adelle thought as she remembered how the protagonist of the novel, Eros, acted the same way as Raven and Eve sometimes.
’Maybe that’s the reason Eve got hooked in this novel...’
Anyway, just then— Eve received a message notification.
"Oh, did the extra Chapters you asked already arrived?"
Aoi immediately and excitedly asked when she heard that.
’She also got hooked on the novel, huh...’
Adelle mumbled in her head as she smiled inwardly.
Though, honestly, she’s also waiting for the extra Chapters that Eve asked for.
But too bad for them... Eve shook her head after reading the message she just received.
She also has a weird expression on her face.
So Aoi asked her that, concerned.
Adelle waited for Eve’s answer as well.
Eve looked at the both of them, not saying anything.
Then after a while, she opened her mouth... And with a complicated look on her face—
"Curtis said that Alec and Raven will have a spar training tomorrow."
Aoi and Adelle didn’t say anything. But after processing what they just heard from Even—
Adelle exclaimed that.
Then Aoi’s eyes widened.
They didn’t expect such a thing, it didn’t even cross their minds once.
But now that it’s here—
Adelle, Aoi, and even Eve— they were so curious to watch and see what will happen.
