Chapter 324: Blessing Magic
Jeon was momentarily stunned. When he returned to the world, the two girls had already entered the shop.
He just cleared his throat, then walked into the woman's clothing store without embarrassment or hesitation. The first mission he had in mind was to get the first Starlight Apparel magazine. He needed to get it at all costs just for a reason.
Elysia and Rosa headed straight to Rosa's workroom for some photoshoots. Rosa had several other models, but the main one was still her lucky star.
When it was all over, Elysia sat on the sofa and covered her face with her hands. Elena teased her, but Nell also joined in the fray for it.
"Ely, please take this." Rosa sat beside Elysia with a sizable box in hand. She smiled when she saw Elysia became very embarrassed right after the photoshoots, even though she didn't know why.
"Uhm, thanks, Rosa." Elysia took the box and put it in her Space Bag without having to look inside. Obviously, those were the beautiful dresses she was wearing just now.
"Ah, it's a shame you aren't willing to model for sexy dresses or lingerie. They would suit you perfectly, Ely. But don't worry. I gave you some of them." Rosa gave a thumbs up and stuck her tongue out to the side.
"What? I'm not going to wear any sexy dresses or lingerie, Rosa. I don't want to be photographed like that." Elysia once again emphasized her refusal. She would feel tarnished if she showed too much of her skin for everyone to see.
"Ah-ah, okay. Please don't be angry, I respect your terms, and I'm not pushy. But, I want to see you wearing sexy dresses and lingerie next time. Just for reference, not to be photographed. I promise on my good name." Rosa immediately patted Elysia's arm to reconcile the atmosphere.
"Hmph!" Elysia just snorted. She would not comply with Rosa's request even though the latter pleaded.
'Not a chance! Only I have that kind of privilege.' Elena snorted too, but for a different reason than Elysia.
'...' Elysia was at a loss of words. She didn't even have the energy to respond.
'Elysia, it's time for us to go.' Nell sat back on Elysia's shoulder, still in invisible magic.
'Okay.' Elysia responded to Nell. She also wanted to leave immediately to complete the mission in Fairy Continent.
"Umm, Rosa. It's time for me to go." Elysia got up from the sofa and smoothed her dress.
"Uh, all right. You're not angry with me, are you?" Rosa also stood up, staring closely at Elysia's expression.
"No. Hmm... Do I need to go through the window, hmm? I don't want to meet the young master or anyone else." Elysia put her index finger on her chin as she glanced at the window.
"What? You can't jump out of the third floor, Ely. It's not the first floor like my workroom a month ago." Rosa blocked Elysia because she was worried about her lucky star's safety.
"Ah, it's okay, Rosa. I'll be fine. You should also go back to the academy's stadium. See you next time." Elysia walked to the window, opened it, and waved her hand. She jumped out a moment after.
"Ely!" Rosa immediately followed to the window and glanced down. She saw Elysia walking through the air towards the ground. "Oh... Please be careful on your way, Ely."
Rosa waved her hand and received a smile from Elysia. Then, her lucky star walked away and turned into the alley. "Okay, I need to go back to the stadium. Hmm, secure the important stuff first."
After she secured all essential items into her Space Bag, she left her workroom.
Meanwhile, Elysia finally had a chance to use her invisible magic. She dashed towards the eastern city gate without delay.
'Elysia, where's your master? She said she would join us later.' Nell glanced this way and that, but she couldn't feel Elena's presence at all.
'My master is already with us, Nell.' Elysia represented because Elena was lazy to come out.
'Huh, really? I cannot detect your master's divine aura anywhere, though.' Nell looked at Elysia doubtfully.
'It's because I didn't allow you to know my whereabouts. Please proceed according to your plan, little one.' Elena sent her voice out, right into Nell's mind.
'Ooh, all right.' Nell is no longer concerned about anything.
'Nee, Nell. Are we just leaving Aeddoterra City just like that? You don't want to say goodbye to anyone?' Elysia asked for confirmation. It would be a hassle to come back right after exiting the city gate.
'No need. I announced our departure yesterday.' Nell shook his head.
A few moments later, Elysia slipped out of the eastern city gate with no one noticing her. She immediately rushed into the forest to get away from third-party surveillance because of Nell's request.
"All right, we've come a long way. Nobody's spying on us or knowing about our whereabouts. Now, what?" Elysia gasped a little and sat down on the big rock.
"I'm still a little surprised that you can use invisible magic too, Elysia. Your master isn't stingy in teaching a bit of her divine magic, huh." Nell left Elysia's shoulder, floated into the air, and observed the latter with a smile.
A moment later, she took out an artistic golden magic carpet wide enough for nine people from her pocket dimension. "We will ride this. Although we won't be as fast as your master's divine magic, we will arrive at Fairy Continent in a few hours."
"All right, come on up. I'll take care of the rest, and you just have to sit back and relax." Nell landed on her golden magic carpet, then patted her divine item with pride.
"Okay. Let's go." Elysia sighed and headed for the golden carpet. She sat with her legs to the side.
"We're leaving. Look, this is how I use blessing magic to generate many variations of magic." Nell announced their departure, but she also wanted to wow Elysia.
"Woah, this magic carpet is sparkling! Hmm, I don't really understand it, Nell. You only use your magic once, and the carpet floats up instantly. Hmm, you also no longer use any magic energy to keep this carpet flying." Elysia tried to analyze more about Nell's magic variations.
Nell was happy. She wanted to get Elysia interested in her divine magic because she intended to teach some about it. After all, Elysia was her goddisciple, but by accident, it got switched.
After Nell wrapped everyone in invisible magic and protective barriers, the carpet carried the passengers darting towards the northeast.
"Yes, this is my blessing magic. Where you only need to give certain blessings to living or inanimate things by changing the rules. Are you interested, Elysia? I will teach you if you beg me now." Nell puffed out her chest proudly. She turned to the side but still glanced at Elysia.
"Yes, please teach me, Nell." Elysia immediately pleaded without hesitation.
"Uh, well..." Nell didn't expect Elysia to give yes so quickly and without delay either.
Nevertheless, she would teach this kind girl about many things. Perhaps, Elysia could also use her type of divine magic, considering that Elena's divine magic could be used by this girl.
The Fairy Continent was located far to the northeast of the Human Continent. They needed to cross many lands and a vast ocean because they took the fastest route, the shortcut via long-distance air transport.
On the way, Elysia learned a new type of magic from Nell step by step. The tedious journey immediately turned into an exciting one because of it. For that reason, Elena came out of the Soul Realm to help Elysia. They learned the magic together with Nell as the mentor.
"Wow, now the origami flies like a real bird." Elysia released the paper bird into the air, and it flew like a real living thing.
"I wonder... Where is your real limit, Elysia? You are clearly still at the Apprentice level, but your ability and learning speed are superb. You can even master tier one of my blessing magic. No wonder the Goddess of Light looks after you like a treasure trove." Nell laid down and rested her head in her hands, staring at Elysia's behavior.
"That's because your blessing magic is just so-so. Look, I can use it with no effort. Isn't this origami similar to you, little one?" Elena used her new variation of magic to make the pile of paper in her hand change into Nell's shape. She made it to fly around the real one.
"Huh? What kind of insinuation is that? My blessing magic is unique. It can also be used to strengthen one's abilities." Nell frowned and knocked the impostor down.
"Hmm, I remember you've said things like that before, little one. Let's try, please strengthen my Ely with your blessing magic, and we'll see what happens. It's not like reinforcement magic, is it?" Elena teased Nell with a smirk.
"Of course not. My blessing magic has no side effects, but no one can replicate it either. Elysia, please come here and sit tight. I will increase your ability to 10 times for one minute." Nell snorted in response to the challenge.
Elysia was like a kind and obedient girl. She approached and waited for what happened next.
"Take a good look at this, and replicate it if you can, Elena." Nell harrumphed, then focused on Elysia. "O divine magic of mine, heed my orders. Strengthen this girl."
A moment later, Elysia was enveloped in a golden light and warmth. She closed her eyes because it was comfortable enough to enjoy.
