《Ninth World Lia's Struggle》ch 61
Advertisement
The water inside was warmer than that of the shower which I must admit was quite pleasant. As I sank up to my shoulders the enjoyable feeling of warm water caressing my skin made me relax. This was the first proper enjoyable bath I have had since coming to this world and it’s heavenly.
Thinking back on the dream I had last night while relaxing I realized that I had no idea how to go forward. I understand I have a shard of The goddess of life’s soul but what do I do with it? How do I awaken into godhood? I doubt there is a manual somewhere that conveniently states how. Thinking about it, do I have to make a religion with me at its centre? Or do I have to just continue becoming stronger until I just ascend?
I sank further into the water as I felt a little discouraged on what to do. In the end, I decided to just continue forward. Do whatever the hell I want, who knows, I might get lucky. Thinking about complicated stuff is only going to cause me a headache so I decided to forget about it for the time being. To clear my mind I submerge myself for a few seconds and then sat with the water level around my chest.
“Got you!”
I hadn’t realized since I was deep in thought but somehow Sophy had managed to sneak up on me. She grabbed my boobs from the back in a playful manner as I felt hers against my back. I didn’t know what to do as this was the first time ever I have had this kind of skinship. Moreover, her boobs were larger than my own which admittedly made me feel jealous.
“S-Sophy what are you doing!”
I quickly tried scape while covering my chest in embarrassment. Turning around I had a good look at her face which sported an amused expression. I guess after Lizz’s teasing I have become a little more reserved when it comes to this kind of things. I quickly shook my head driving my memories of Lizz away.
“Well, I came to take a bath and so you so I thought we could bath together. hehe”
After saying that she got into the water and sat next to me. My face was a bit red since I had spent a while inside the warm water already not to mention I felt even more uncomfortable having someone I know looking at my naked body.
“I guess it’s fine but you didn’t need to do that. It’s embarrassing”
“Oh? so the strong and intimidating Amelia also has a cute side? Nice to know, then from now on I will make sure we bath together so I get to see that side more”

I let my guard down and this happens. She might be a bit annoying but I guess that is fine. Having her as a friend makes me feel normal again. I had forgotten how it felt to have friends. Thinking about that I couldn’t help but look at her for a while.
“Thanks, Sophy, you know, for being my friend”
In an instant, Sophy’s eyes began to shine as she lunged towards me giving me a tight hug. Her boobs pushing against mine as she rubbed her cheek on my own.
“You are too cute! Of course, I am your friend!”
I was starting to get a bit annoyed by her massive breasts. Why can’t mine grow at least one size larger! And then there is Sophy. Life is unfair!
“Having said that. This is revenge for earlier! How the hell did this things get this big! What is the catch? I will force you to tell me!”
I grabbed her breasts and began fondling them. They are quite squishy and soft and the more I touche them the more jealous I feel. Life is really unfair! If I had a pair like this back on earth I bet I would have had no problem getting a boyfriend. Not that I wanted one. Not to mention some dresses I liked would have looked better. This is so unfair!
“Amelia. S-stop that!”
I looked up to see her face red like a tomato. Her breathing had gotten a bit rough and she looked a little in pain. I instantly stopped and turned my face away. After that, we spent the next five or ten minutes in complete silence. Unable to resist this awkward silence anymore I spoke first.
“Erm sorry about that”
“It’s fine. It was a bit surprising that’s all”
The awkwardness didn’t completely disappear but at least it was lessened. After a while, we began chatting like nothing happened. When we finally got out a half an hour or so had gone by so we stayed for longer than we should have but whatever. As I had planned I decided to go fill out the rest of my schedule before the class.
It took a bit longer than expected to reach the administrative building since this place is like a maze. It somewhat reminds me of that book about wizards with that giant maze-like academy, you know which one I am talking about. Anyway, now that I am here there is nothing else to do but stand in line and wait. Yes, there is a giant line despite there being ten receptionist working at the same time. I am guessing this is a yearly occurrence as all new students want to feel up their schedule with good timings.

“Welcome, I am guessing you want to add elective classes to your schedule”
“yes”
“Have you already thought of what classes you want?”
“yes”
“Good then just fill this papers, and place them in that chute over there”
After that little exchange, I took the papers. I forgot to mention before but inside of our rooms, there were also notebooks and writing materials. It is a bit surprising that the paper in this world has quite good quality. It’s still worse compared to earth’s paper but better than papyrus and stuff.
Either way. The form I was given also had a small crystal on top. The form had a detailed description of how it worked. You have to fill it out then put mana into the crystal. It will somehow check if the classes you chose have free spots. If not it will shine red and the ink of the full classes will change to red. Also, the classes have the names of the teachers as well as the schedule.
I spent some time filling the form as quite a few times the classes I wanted were full. In the end, I managed to get all the subjects I wanted albeit with a pretty wonky schedule. After finishing I did realize that class would start in ten minutes so I had to hurry.
After walking through winding corridors and getting lost a few times I made it just in time. Inside I could see quite a few people. From the tough-looking guy, presumably the kid of a knight, to delicate ladies which I guess are the daughters of prominent nobles. After looking around I chose a seat near the middle and sat down. Not long after the teacher came in.
“Hello everyone, my name is Jack Kovalcik. This is the magical theory class Rank one. However, do not think because this is the lowest rank it will be easier than any other class. I will drill the basics of magic into your brains. After all, in any form of art or work, the basics are always the most important. With that said I will be starting the class”
The class went on and the explanations of Mr Jack were comprehensible, at least for me. He repeated what Miss Margaret had said yesterday while going a little more in-depth. He also talked about basic rune combinations and their effects. Overall, the class was really interesting for me and I took a bunch of notes. From how to construct the spells with mana, to how mana quantity and flow may affect the constructs. Everything was new and exciting for me.
Looking at my schedule I was excited about my next class. Applied magic rank one. In the class explanation, I saw in the registration form rank one is about learning how to feel and control mana. Unfortunately for me I already know how to do that. Fortunately, though it also includes the most basic of rune construction so it won’t be a waste of time.
I was in a really good mood and wanted to go straight to the next class. However, I still had an hour before it started and above that right now is lunchtime. As a matter of fact, I am a bit hungry right now. I began walking toward the cafeteria while trying to guess what kind of food there would be. But something took me out of my thoughts.
In the hallways, there was a girl being surrounded by three guys and two girls. It was more than obvious this was an instance of bullying as they laughed and pushed her around. Well, it’s not my problem or at least that’s what I thought until I heard a loud noise. The girl had been slapped and her round glasses fell on the floor. In the next moment one of the guys presumably the leader was about to step on them on purpose.
“Don’t you think that enough?”
I had moved before any of them could react. My hand was holding the glasses while I glared at the main bully. Bright red spiky hair with cyan eyes, a good looking face and a toned body. I must admit his looks would make any girl fall for him at first sight. However, from the way he smirked while bullying this poor girl I can tell his personality is rotten.
“And who the hell are you? Why don’t you mind your own business, unless you want trouble”
The one who spoke was one of the girls next to the main bully. All I could say about her is that she is plain. The only interesting thing about her was her dark blue hair, nothing else. The others were the same. Looking at this group I can tell it’s handpicked to emphasise the main bully’s beauty.
“My name is Amelia Bellevie. And this is my business now. Leaving something like this would have left somewhat of a bad taste on my mouth so I decided to intervene”
“Oh really? Well, then I guess we have to teach you a lesson. For starters, this is a family issue. That bitch over there is my bastard half-sister. And I am Samuel Rasey. I hope you now understand you have no right to interfere. Now move or we will make you”
“Heh. Then make me”

The blue screens all around blink like crazy with red letters saying how I'm dead. I rage and wave my hands, but punch nothing but air.

To make things even worse, their memories seemed to be wiped clean. But their killers' instincts are not, and they soon kick in.For a space wars old-timer Raan, it's all different. He remembers everything. And that's a problem. As others fight for survival, he remembers how most of them, himself included, should not even deserve to have a second chance.In a strange new world, as he fights his own demons, he is faced with new ones whose names he does not even know. But giving up is not inside his DNA and fight on he must. For to stop is to die, and to die means he failed, failed himself and all those who still desperately need him.***The Author's Note:This is another in the Core series, the first one being The Wardens of Destiny while there is also a side story The Memoires of Eisen that's exclusive on Patreon for those who would like to support me.The Recordings of Raan occurs after the events in The Wardens of Destiny, and it's a separate thread from the main story. Among other things, I separated it into a new book as it has elements of progressive LitRPG and a fantasy-world setting.Since I'll keep on writing The Wardens of Destiny, this will be one of my side-projects. Eventually in the future, I plan to integrate some of the protagonists in this story with the main storyline.
