Ranks

Thea then stood up, even after the intense climax she just had, her energy hadn't depleted in the slightest and her libido was far from relieved. The cat-girl on the other hand was left exhausted and twitching from the semenless skin ship she had received from Thea.

"Help her over to the bath dear, it isn't as potent as your sweet spunk but it does still have one or two energizing mana stones in it." Lily directed Thea.

Thea nodded and supported the cat-girl over to the bath, following Lily, she then stepped into the large, shallow pool-like bath and helped Mia in too. Thea sat down closely to Lily before helping the cat-girl sit by her side.

As soon as Mia sat down she leaned her head into Thea's collarbone as if it was the most natural thing to do. Thea always like snuggling and hugging so she happily accepted Mia into her embrace.

Satisfied as she currently was, she felt like she was missing something, so she lifted her head to look at Lily with pleading eyes.

"Fufufu, as old and mature as you may seem, you continue to stay my little baby." Lily said while helplessly smiling.

Lily shuffled closer to Thea and pulled her into her own embrace, her two bosoms acting as top tier pillows.

"Eheh, perfect. Thank you mommy." Thea sheepishly giggled while snuggling into her mother.

"*Sigh* Anyways what do you think of the bath? I'll have you know it's better than any royal bath in the palace." Lily said smugly.

Undistracted now, Thea paid careful attention to the bath now. It was large and looked expensive but being able to see and feel mana, what caught Thea's attention was the water.

Instead of asking Lily about it, Thea just inspected the bath water.

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

Synthetic Holy Spring: Water imbued with mana and various passive effects through enchanted mana stones.

Effect 1: [Self Cleaning (LVL.3)]

Effect 2: [Revitalizing (LVL.2)]

Effect 3: [Healing (LVL.2)]

"Wow, pretty nice. How long do these mana stones last though?" Thea asked curiously.

"Well it depends on what rank the mana stone is, tomorrow in the guild you will find out that monsters and beasts are classified into different ranks, these ranks show how strong the monster or beast is. With monsters like the goblins, if you would have dissected them you would have received a few mana stones. The stronger the monster the bigger the mana stone and the bigger the mana stone the more mana it holds." Lily explained.

"For this bath for example, there are 6, A-rank mana stones, two for each effect and the mana stones will probably remain active for another 200 years." Lily said nonchalantly.

"That's a long time." Thea said amazed.

Lily however flinched when she heard Thea's response.

"What about the beasts?" Thea asked.

"Well, that depends on many things. How strong the individual beast is, it's intelligence and if they work in groups." Lily said.

"Take the Red Wolves you have hunted for example, individually they are F-rank, G-rank being the lowest rank, but together however they are bumped up to E-rank because of their teamwork and basic strategies they use." Lily continued.

"Hmm, so Mia is E-rank?" Thea asked, remembering how she had dealt with the wolves.

"That's correct, however according to guild rules, you can only raise your rank after you have completed various quests and tasks, followed by a rank up test. This way, only people who have properly contributed to the society gain the respect and admiration that comes together with their rank." Lily explained.

"Uhm, around what rank would Althea be?" Mia quietly asked.

"Hmmm, maybe around a B-rank if we ignore her magic capabilities." Lily estimated.

Thea who was holding Mia could feel her tense up when she heard those words but as Mia remained quiet afterward she chose to ignore it.

"Is Thea not good in magic? With the way she uses inventory she should be pretty good at it?" Mia asked confused.

"Fufufu, Althea's potential in magic is unrivaled if I do say so myself, she just needs to learn more variations of magic. Thea what magic can you currently use?" Lily asked Thea, curious as she had seen her use different elements, small embers during cooking and high tier water during her show of using Chronus.

"[Elemental Magic]." Thea curtly answered, while enjoying the bath and the two girls against her.

"… *Sigh* Well for both of you that don't know, you have non-elemental magic and elemental magic, someone being able to use all elemental magic is rare, for Mia who doesn't know yet, this magic allows you to use the 5 nature elements, lightning, water, wind, fire and earth, but finding someone compatible with all these elements… Well it's unusual." Lily explained, stupefied by Thea.

'Wow, I need to work harder.' Mia thought with both determination and admiration.

"Anyways, let's get out of the bath and eat some dinner." Lily suggested.

Both girls nodded and followed her out of the bath.
