Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

"Then the kiss just now is a return gift - thank you for the treat, I enjoyed it too."

Charlie's face turned even redder.

Aisha glanced in a certain direction—there, Tricia was standing there with a confused look on her face.

Tricia happened to see Elsa and Charlie kissing - as luck would have it, she just turned around to look for Elsa, and when she arrived, she saw Elsa and Charlie talking, and then Elsa gave Charlie a hairband.

It would be rude to disturb them at this time, so Tricia didn't rush forward.

Then, Tricia was stunned.

Suddenly, she remembered what Aisha said last night - "Actually, my relationship with her is a little better than just friends."

Is this that “little bit”?

……

------------

159. Just treat it as our secret

Tricia didn't disturb Elsa and Charlie, who were in an ambiguous mood. She quietly left the courtyard alone - with a turbulent heart.

The affectionate and lingering intertwining of lips and teeth made Tricia unable to look away, and it also added a touch of indescribable feeling. Tricia was not a child who knew nothing. Although she had never experienced it, she naturally knew what it meant.

It turns out... Elsa is a woman who likes women - this may be Elsa's secret, Tricia thought, because according to Tricia's investigation and understanding, Vivian and Filia, who are Elsa's friends, do not know this information.

This information is also very important.

Tricia could almost imagine that there would be a bunch of guys who only had women in their minds trying to win over Elsa by using their masculine charm. Tricia originally thought that was absolutely a bad move, but now it seemed that it was completely a waste of time.

Just think about it and you will know that if Elsa really wants it, wouldn't she be able to find it with her conditions?

But Tricia misunderstood a little bit - she thought that Elsa kept her distance from men because of her piety to the goddess and respect for the doctrine, but now it seems that Elsa just doesn't like that kind of thing.

After all, it's not like Tricia hasn't seen women who like the same sex. She has an acquaintance with a daughter who is one of them. That incident once gave the couple a headache, but the stubborn girl refused to get married no matter what. Finally, under Tricia's persuasion, both sides took a step back, the engagement was cancelled, and the girl also took the initiative to apologize to the Duke's son whom she had injured. And now, the girl who was once secretly ridiculed by many nobles and royal families and accused of being heretical by countless people is now Her Majesty the Empress of the Empire.

It's only been about ten years.

However, this anecdote about Her Majesty's youth spread like wildfire and soon became widely circulated, encouraging countless people like her to bravely face their own hearts - it must be said that it can be regarded as a good story.

But Tricia really didn't expect that Aisha happened to be one of them.

Tricia looked back towards the atrium with mixed feelings.

If that's the case, then her previous actions with Aisha...

……

Elsa didn't stay in Weilin Town for too long. Before noon, everyone set off for the forest.

In order to prevent the black monsters from taking advantage of the situation and invading the town after Elsa and others went to the forest, they split into two groups. One group was headed by Elsa and Tricia, and consisted of an investigation team composed of Ryan and the magicians of the magician group led by him. They were experts in studying the relics of the Age of Gods, and the investigation of the central lake area naturally could not be separated from their strength. In addition, there were Saint Inksa and two paladins. The magicians did not know Inksa's identity and just regarded her as a priest.

They are responsible for investigating deep into the forest.

The other group of people were those who stayed behind. Marvin, the Archbishop, Brahmot and the adventurers he led were among them. After all, the destination this time was very clear, so there was no need for the adventurers to follow. There were also several other paladins who stayed in the town - each of them was the elite among the elites whose strength far exceeded that of ordinary gold medal adventurers. With them in charge of the safety of the town, Elsa had nothing to worry about.

Soon, it was noon. Elsa and Tricia walked at the end of the team. Ryan was responsible for leading the way by following the marks left before, while Tricia's magic was responsible for clearing the way - Tricia just waved her hand, and the trees seemed to separate to both sides, and the ground became as flat as a street, but when people passed by, it magically returned to its original state.

However, if Elsa stepped over at this time, the trees would be blown to pieces, so Elsa and Tricia walked at the back.

If necessary, Tricia could lift everyone up and fly directly at low altitude, or even use teleportation magic to cross several kilometers in an instant - but both of these magics consume too much magic power, and in a place like a forest, if you accidentally run too far, you have to find the way again, which does not bring much convenience. It is better to follow the marks honestly.

"What a convenient magic! Does this magic work on any plant?"

Elsa looked curiously at the trees that moved away on their own.

Tricia glanced at Elsa. For some reason, every time she saw Elsa, she would think of the scene where Elsa and Charlie kissed in the flower garden in the courtyard.

Honestly, based on the knowledge that "Elsa is a nymph", Tricia no longer knew how to face Elsa - because before this, Tricia and Elsa had already had several unspeakable memories, hugging and holding hands were of course not a problem, and she had even posed naked for Elsa to touch and asked to sleep in the same bed with Elsa. All these things had happened before.

Previously, Tricia could justify these actions by calling them "for the sake of friends" and "to lift the curse."

Now, when she recalled those times, Tricia felt that the atmosphere between her and Elsa was truly ambiguous and charming. The thought of herself making those ambiguous invitations to someone who liked women made Tricia's cheeks burn, and she felt like countless shrimps were crawling around in her heart, and she didn't even know where to put her hands.

However, if you think about it carefully, it seems that Elsa never did anything to her from the beginning to the end. Every time, it was only when Tricia asked her to do so that Elsa would do it.

It seems that Tricia's mood is even more complicated.

Is she unattractive?

The thought only flashed through her mind, and Tricia sighed.

She knew better than anyone what her body looked like—a body covered with black magic patterns, disgusting and ugly. For Elsa... perhaps she had no "appetite" for something like this?

She suppressed the strangeness in her heart, not wanting Elsa to notice anything.

"This is 'nature magic,' ineffective against dryads and trees that harbor wood spirits and immense magical power. So, it was originally used as exploratory magic to avoid hidden dangers, and it's considered the forest elves' specialty," Tricia explained. Magic-related matters were undoubtedly her area of ​​expertise. "However, this type of magic is only practical in specific situations. It's difficult to learn for humans' magical circuits, and it consumes a lot of mana."

Extremely mana-consuming?

Forget it, Elsa would never touch this kind of magic.

But Elsa's goal is not magic.

"Come to think of it... Tricia saw it, didn't she? She saw everything, so why is she deliberately hiding from me?"

She stared at Tricia, who pursed her lips slightly and deliberately looked away from Aisha - otherwise she would have noticed that Aisha raised the corners of her mouth meaningfully.

"Can you keep this a secret for me?"

Aisha said, smiling broadly.

Tricia wanted to ask something, but when she turned her head and saw Aisha's clear eyes, she finally said nothing.

"Um……"

……

------------

160. Even if you are a genius

"You clearly saw it, why are you hiding?"

Aisha asked this.

Why hide? Tricia herself didn't know. She hadn't thought about it, but subconsciously... -- Aisha's gentle voice brushed across Tricia's chest like a veil, like a seed, buried in Tricia's heart.

Seeing that her goal was achieved, Elsa smiled slightly. She did not keep dwelling on this topic, but took the initiative to turn to another matter.

"Come to think of it, Tricia, you said before that you would teach me magic, right?"

"Um... now?"

"There's nothing to do anyway."

After all, traveling in the forest is actually a very boring thing. I might as well take this opportunity to ask Tricia for advice and see if I can master some magic along the way.

"However, although this isn't my first time trying magic, I still don't know how to start. Can Tricia give me some pointers?"

"Pointing to something...please don't say it so seriously."

Tricia didn't dare say that she was qualified to give Aisha advice.

Elsa just smiled.

Elsa now has 17 free points. She added 16 of them to [Magic Points]. Out of curiosity, she added the remaining point to [Spirit] - but neither the increase in [Magic Points] nor the growth in [Spirit] made Elsa feel any change.

【Elsa Faris】

【HP: 99999】

[Magic Points: 28]

【Strength: 99999】

【Spirit: 2】

[Unallocated points: 0]

[Idea (Vivian Trauns): 95]

[Idea (Patriculosia en Serilhilda): 94]

[Idea (Filia Livret): 81]

[Ideas (Charlie Bran): 124]

【-】

Elsa opened the panel and took a look. Apart from a slight increase in the favorability of several people, there were not many noteworthy changes.

Since I have 28 magic points, I should be able to learn a few spells, right?

——Elsa thought.

"I want to see your magic power. Can you show me a little bit of it? It doesn't have to be too much, just enough to communicate with the ring."

Tricia said.

Speaking of magic, it was naturally Tricia's foremost area. Everyone had magic power, the only difference being whether or not they could use it, how much or how little, and whether or not they could mobilize and transform magic essence. Tricia could judge a person's magic type by the form of their magic power. Conversely, Tricia could also give advice based on Elsa's magic form, choosing the most suitable magic for her to learn.

Asking someone with a high aptitude for fire magic to learn water magic will only result in half the effort and twice the result, so accurately judging the form of magic itself is a very important task.

But unfortunately, it failed.

Elsa released her magic power, and Tricia looked away after just one glance - because in her eyes, Elsa's magic power was just a chaotic black mass, just as her magical vision could not see through Elsa. It was obvious that the form of magic power in Elsa's body was fundamentally different from the well-known magic power transformed by refining magic elements.

"I'm sorry, your magic is too special. I can't judge the nature of your magic."

Tricia withdrew her magical vision and apologized.

Elsa didn't care about it because she believed in Tricia's professional ability. If even Tricia couldn't see through it, then it was not Tricia's problem, but a problem with Elsa's own magic. Even if she wanted to ask more, it would be asking too much.

"Speaking of which, Elsa, how far have you come in mastering the basics of magic? Can you feel the magic power?"

If you can't see through it, you can only ask to find out.

"You mean resonating with the magic in the air?"

"Um……"

"Honestly, I don't feel anything," Elsa said honestly. "Does it have to resonate with the magic element?"

"Generally speaking, it's necessary. Resonance is the first step in learning magic. It doesn't matter what the magic element is, as long as you can sense it, it's fine. Failure to take this step means you don't have the aptitude for magic. Having it without control is useless. Of course, there are rare exceptions. For example, the Saint could never achieve 'resonance' before her 'awakening' because her 'other shore' is the Goddess, not the magic element."

Speaking of this, Elsa remembered that the old priest had taught her when she wanted to try magic before, although it was not successful, so Elsa's magic stopped there.

"I think Aisha should be the latter."

"Blessed by the goddess?"

"No, I mean—it's not necessary to resonate with the magic element."

The energy forms in this world are not limited to magic elements. For example, the blood of vampires, holy light magic and dark magic, abyss magic, life energy, dragon language magic, etc. These are not magic elements.

"You may not feel anything, but it seems to me that these magic elements are trying hard to avoid you. If a saint needs to be 'baptized' and 'awakened', I think you should have already taken this step, Elsa. The reason you haven't mastered magic yet is probably because your body is resisting it. So perhaps the first step should be to untie your body's constraints - I mean, your 'magic dispel'... Of course, this is just my first guess."

If Elsa's body is really a complete magic insulator, then Elsa should not be able to use the space ring.

Aisha nodded after hearing this.

"Let me try."

Elsa did it right away. She began to recall the details of what the old priest had taught her, and tried to find the state of controlling "Magic Dispersion" and gather "Magic Dispersion".

"How do I start with the simplest magic?"

"You can try the basic magic of 'Flame' and 'Flash', but since you skipped the 'Resonance' step, it might be a bit difficult. I can show you the circuit of magic flow."

As she spoke, Tricia began to draw a magic circle out of thin air in front of her. What surprised Elsa was that what Tricia drew was not the flat graphics that Elsa had usually seen, but a complex and exquisite three-dimensional structure. It looked like a round birdcage, with a glittering core suspended in the middle, surrounded by circles of arcs, stacked together, like the equator, circling the surface of the birdcage and extending lines to connect with the core.

——Elsa looked at that thing and suddenly thought of the model of the atom she had seen in chemistry class in her previous life.

"This is the structural diagram of 'Flash'. This is what a magic circle truly looks like, even if it's just one of the most basic spells."

Tricia put her palms together - and the three-dimensional shape was compressed into a two-dimensional shape. Only then did Aisha realize that the pattern formed by the intersection of the lines was a series of runes.

"When you're just starting to learn magic, you have to remember this. But once you've memorized it, it's easy. Skilled magicians use 'keywords' to cast spells, but the more complex the magic circle, the harder it is to reproduce with just the keywords. This is because its combination involves complex spatial structures. Naturally, beginners have to start from scratch and be able to fully reproduce the structure. Generally speaking, it takes a beginner several days to several weeks to master this magic."

As she spoke, Tricia showed the "atom" again so that Elsa could see it clearly, while explaining the conduction and function of magic power inside the sphere.

Elsa looked at the ball seriously, and at this moment, a prompt popped up on the panel - [-Magic: "Flash", obtained-]
