Chapter 189 Miss Arya, I want to date you.

Lith’s dorm, Abalax sky island.

Inside Lith’s bathroom, in the shower cubicle, Arya was standing naked in front of him and he himself was naked. Normally, when two people are together like that in a shower, it usually means that something naughty was happening. However, the situation was anything but naughty…

Arya had been staring at the empty space in front of her for quite some minutes now. Lith knew she was comprehending or doing something so he stayed where he was and didn’t move, waiting for her to come out of such a state.

A few minutes passed and the flickers now turned into colourful fog around Arya. The energy had become dense. Normally, any Rank 1 or 2 would feel suffocated in such an environment but Lith having the prowess of Rank 6, it was bearable for him.

Lith continued to observe his teacher and the elemental energies and a few more minutes later, he noticed that the elemental energies, which were in a fog like state were now starting to wildly wave around.

Something was wrong!

The waves were intensifying with each passing second. Lith understood something was definitely wrong with his teacher. Before he decided to not disturb her because she might be comprehending something, but now if he did not pull her out of his trance, it would be a disaster.

Lith rushed towards Arya and walking closer, he saw that her eyes were moist for some reason. This wasn’t visible previously due to him being a bit away from her and the colourful fog surrounding her.

He didn’t know what she was going through to be in such a state, but his intuition was telling him that it most probably was something sad.

He levitated a bit in the air and hugged her. Putting her head on his shoulder, he caressed her hair and gently whispered in her ear:

“Calm down, teacher. Everything is okay. I am here for you.”

As Lith was near Arya, he was starting to feel suffocated since the elemental energies were becoming more and more dense around her. However, he held on. His teacher was going through something which was sad and he felt that he should be here for her and bring her out of his trance.

Trying to hit her, attack her or physically do anything to her was meaningless, Lith knew about it. Judging from how elemental energies were gathering around her, Arya should’ve already broken out of her trance by now but she didn’t and Lith assumed that anything physical won’t work on her.

Lith assumed that she was kind of in a comatose state wherein she couldn’t move or speak but could definitely listen. So to test it out, he did such a thing. If this doesn’t work out either, he had to resort to asking for help. There was no other way.

Arya was watching her past memories one by one. Though she was rational and fully conscious while doing so, she was raging. Her focus wasn’t on the memories anymore and was on the man who sealed her ability to love. Her rage was starting to intensify the more she thought about him, however, right at this moment, she felt warm out of nowhere.

This feeling… She knew about it. This is the exact same feeling she felt when she was in Lith’s embrace. She was about to be confused as to why she was feeling like this so suddenly when she heard Lith’s voice. She heard each and every single word of his and her rage died down.

She smiled listening to his comforting words and felt warm in her heart. Having calmed down, Arya now focused on the best course of action she could take.

The best course of action was doing nothing. There was nothing to do and she could only wait until the memories were all over. Thus Arya simply focused on watching the memories in a calm and neutral way.

Lith on the outside who was hugging Arya, felt the colourful fog of energy to stop waving around. He then saw them disperse slowly and looking at this, he sighed in relief.

Lith smiled as he was hugging her because his intuition was right this time and she could indeed feel, if not hear him. He didn’t know how long she would be in such a trance but whatever the case, he knew he had to be there for her or things might again go out of control.

Half an hour passed

Lith was sitting on the ground in the shower cubicle while holding Arya in his embrace. Levitating and hugging her was tiring and midway, he sat down and had her sit down along with him.

Arya had her head lay on his shoulder, her boobs were pressing against his chest, her arms and legs were wrapped around him as she sat on his legs which were crossed and had her hair and back caressed by him.

Lith did his best to provide warmth and comfort to her and waited for her to come out of her trance in such a position.

An hour passed.

Lith was surfing through the internet as he hugged Arya. There was nothing to do anyway, so he took out his phone and was watching videos on it. He had no idea when she would be back to normal, so to pass time, he started using his phone.

Dennis had called him during this period, to ask whether he would be attending classes or not. Lith answered about him skipping it since he had some work and Dennis too, using the excuse that both Ralph and Lith aren’t going, skipped his classes.

As he was surfing the internet, Lith felt Arya move. He kept the phone inside his ring and checked whether she was okay or not. Ensuring everything is fine, he got back to caressing her back and hair.

A few minutes later.

“How long are you going to hug me?” Arya whispered gently in Lith’s ear.

Lith felt surprised hearing it and shifted back to have a look at his teacher and found her looking at him with a smile.

Instead of feeling happy for her coming out of his trance, Lith held her face with both of his hands and asked with concern, “teacher, are you okay?”

Arya once again felt warm in her heart by watching Lith show concern for her. She knew he was here with her all this time and she was very grateful and happy about it. She nodded her head and said to him, “yes, I am.”

Lith sighed in relief and said, “all good then.”

Arya then looked around and a second later, at Lith and said with a smile, “did you enjoy hugging me all this time? Does my body feel that good to you?”

Lith smirked and replied back, “of course. If it wasn’t enjoyable, why would I stay in this position all this time?”

He was telling half the truth. It was indeed enjoyable, however he stayed with her all this time so as to ensure nothing went haywire.

Arya was not able to tell whether he was telling the truth or not and such a mysterious answer. She liked such a response from him and it was one of the things that made her have an even better impression of Lith.

Arya stared deeply into Lith’s eyes and was thinking of something. Lith noticed it but didn’t call her out on it. He let her be and just stared back at her. A few seconds later, Arya held Lith’s face with one hand and said seriously,

“Lith, before I zoned out, you said something about dating and loving me, right?”

Lith was surprised with the sudden change. He had no idea what his teacher was thinking to ask such a thing, however, judging from her tone and actions, he could tell that this time she wasn’t joking or playing around and was seriously asking him something. He smiled and answered saying:

“I did. I was half joking and half serious when I asked that.”

Arya felt a bit disappointed as she heard his response. So he was joking, it seems. She thought.

Looking at Arya’s disappointed look, Lith chuckled knowing why she had such a look. He held her face once again and had her look at him. He smiled once again and said:

“Teacher, no, Miss Arya, I want to date you. Are you interested in becoming my lover?”

Arya’s expression turned from disappointed to a happy one. Joy was clearly visible on it. Though it happened only for a split second. Lith didn’t miss it, however.

Arya, instead of answering Lith directly, smirked and asked, “aren’t you too young? And also, you are too weak currently, just a Rank 2. I on the other hand am an Emperor Rank. Don’t you feel you have nothing on you that would impress me?”

“Isn’t that the best part? I am young and weak. I’ve got nothing on me. Wouldn’t it be amazing to witness my journey to the top? Isn’t that much better than having someone already strong as your partner?” Lith smiled and counter questioned.

Arya giggled hearing it. No matter the circumstances, no matter the time, Lith would always reciprocate whatever she threw at him. This was one of the many things that made her love him.

That’s right, love him. Arya had her seal that made her forget what love is taken off. She realised that spending so much time with Lith together, she was starting to love him. The time they were together was indeed less, however it was some of the best ones she had in all her life.

When she was small, getting pampered by her parents was one of the best moments of her life. Next were hanging out with Mayzin and Emilia; feeling her prowess grow with every magic rank breakthrough; spending time with her students and lastly, it was being with Lith.

Lith pampering her was him trying to slowly get closer to her, however, he unknowingly gave Arya the best time of her life. This made Arya fall hard for Lith. Previously, she didn’t know that it was love that she was experiencing but now that she watched her own life from birth to until now, she saw everything by being complete.

Love was missing previously and all her life, except for that starting few years before she met the man. She lived without knowing what love was. But now that her seal was taken off, she was complete and didn’t have anything missing.

She fully understood that she loved Lith as she watched the recent memories when she spent her time with him. She wasn’t someone who would lie to herself about it and she naturally accepted it easily.

Her love for him was real and she wouldn’t deny it. She thus asked him whether he was serious when he asked her about dating her or not. She loved him and wanted to spend her life with him but when he said that he was only half serious about it, she felt pretty disappointed.

She hoped that he loved her, at least half of what she did to him but him saying that line made her heart break. Sure she was a carefree and playful person, but at the end of the day, she too was just a normal lady who wanted to be loved and have a partner.

She thus felt disappointed. But, Lith then proposed to her and her disappointment vanished in a way as if it never existed in the first place. Her heart was thumping in joy, she was screaming internally in happiness but feeling such an exaggerated reaction, she controlled them and soon calmed down.

Knowing that Lith wanted to date her and everything was sailing smoothly, she got back into her playful lady mode. Even without telling him the answer, it was pretty much confirmed that she was his now.

Lith obviously didn’t know that Arya was going through so many things but the atmosphere around him was lively and it didn’t matter if he did or not. All he was waiting for was now to hear his teacher’s response on what she was going to answer him. She surely was playing with him, but he knew that waiting it out was the best and he would soon get his answer.

Arya stopped giggling after a few seconds and held Lith’s face and kissed him on the lips. Lith’s eyes opened wide in surprise due to such a surprise attack from Arya. But his surprise vanished instantly and he was drowning in happiness due to getting his answer.

He held her face too just like how she did and kissed her back to reciprocate his feelings for her and the teacher and student, sitting in the shower cubicle, started conveying their loving feelings for each other through their actions.
