Naming Sense

"Where am I?"

Eric had slowly woken up and looked at the surroundings, he knew it was the infirmary as soon as he remembered what Jung Yu-na had done to him.

"You're awake"

Cha Eunha had come close to him and checked up on him.

"Ugh, yes, what happened after"

"After Jung Yu-na threw you around she instantly came for Jun-ho, Ling Shu also joined in the fight, then Mei Mei was paralyzed by Ono Hayami, Zhao Yi well his hands were burned but he's fine, and for Jun-ho, he recovered quickly and then left to train to who knows where"

"I'm sorry, I was careless"

"It's fine, we didn't expect that Jung Yu-na would be that strong"

"No, I should have still at least be on my guard, if I was maybe things would have been different"

"Maybe, but what's happened has happened we just gotta move on and learn from it!"

Eric nodded after seeing Eunha's smile.

"By the way Cha Eunnha, what time is it?"

"It should still be noon why?"

"Nothing"

-

"You know the child you beat up earlier had somehow felt special"

Eun-woo who was at the library reading history books heard Luxuria who then manifested as she sat on the opposite of him, no one had come near him as the space was too small and it felt like he owned the place.

"So you're going to select him instead of me now?"

"Jealous? Jokes aside if the other divinities saw him up close and personal I'd say we would have the same evaluation, he is as talented as you, not as handsome as you since you're my child, but he had an aura that would make you feel like he was a savior of some sort especially when he looked at you in the eyes with determination to cut you down"

"Other than that, I know you divinities can read a person's fate or at least divine someone's fortune or future but at the cost of your ever dwindling influence and power"

"You're asking me if I read or divined your future? Nonsense I have faith in you, I'd rather save up my divinity to intervene at least two or three times to save you and after that I wouldn't be able to exert my will as I would now, everything has a price Eun-woo, on the other hand"

"Other divinities would?"

"Only if they were hell bent on finding out, but a talented person like you would require much more power than the average person so most would offer you their blessing directly same with that kid Lee Jun-ho"

"Have you told the other divinities yet?"

"What do you mean?"

Park Eun-woo then showed her a page of the book he was reading, it was about her and the other divinities traits and characteristics, he was unsure who wrote the book as the author's name was obscure and that it felt like it was accurate.

"I'm not a chatterbox, well I used to be, who made this book?"

"I don't know, back to my question"

"Yes, they're interested in you but not to the point they're willing to come down for you, I'd say they're now looking for prospects"

"Then I guess Lee Jun-ho would be a fine candidate wouldn't he?"

"He would but since I'm the principal divinity in this area they have to ask permission and of course I would, and I'd give them any candidate save for you and your team"

"Why so?"

"Of course they're your team, essentially what's yours is mine, that Valkyrie has lots of potential, Ling Shu while annoying I feel like she can get better, as for that archer of yours She'll be fine but"

"What about Sowon?"

"Oh? You didn't notice?"

Eun-woo perked his ears up after he saw Luxuria smile.

"Just know she's in good hands"

-

Sowon who was returning to their respective dorm area, found a little puppy on the side, she couldn't help herself and looked around before going near the puppy after confirming that there was no one around.

Sowon stared at the puppy as she squat down, the puppy came near her, she immediately picked it up in her arms and decided to bring it to her dorm.

"I'm not good at naming, since you're white and small I'll call you Snow"

The dog then barked seemingly agreeing with her, it happily wagged it's tail as Sowon carried it.

"I think there's no rules regarding pet's here even if there was I'm sure they'd let me keep you"

As Sowon was happily returning to her dorm she spotted a familiar figure who greeted her.

"Jung Sowon!"

"Do you need my help or something?"

"Have you read the list already?"

"List? What list?"

"We're going to be trained under the same professor! And it's Professor Jeanne!"

"Oh"

"You don't seem excited?"

"It's nothing, is there anything else you need Cha Eunha?"

"Nothing, well it sure is nice to talk to you like this"

"Mm"

"I know it's a lot to ask you since you're also busy but I hope we can get along!"

"Ok"

"Really? Then I'll see you next monday!"

Sowon nodded as Cha Eunha left, Snow barked at Sowon and jumped out of her hands but stayed close near to her and followed Sowon.

"Let's go Snow"

-

"You know that book is biased"

"If it says that you were a chatterbox and like to meddle in people's affair I'd believe it was true"

"Bah!"

"You act like my sister you know"

"Well if you're isolated for thousands of years then you'll probably be aching to talk someone"

"I have an important question"

Eun-woo stood in front of a closed door training area, and took out Murasame.

"What is it?"

"I read in the book, that once the Sins and Virtues choose a champion they can weaponize their respective Divinities divine aura inside them"

"Now I'm starting to doubt who authored the book"

Eun-woo then entered the training area making sure no one would see him, he took a deep breath once it was locked.

He then concentrated on the small divine power inside his body, he felt something warm on his chest, the warm feeling then shot up straight into his head, shortly after it as gone but when he opened his eyes he felt that everything seemed slower and that everything was different.

Luxuria then manifested in front him, Eun-woo saw that she was now in shades of green, and that she had a red light in her forehead.

"They say eyes are the windows of the soul, do you know why I'm the principal divinity in the central area where loads of talent come from here and not the other sins?"

Eun-woo shook his head as Luxuria then summoned a mirror in front of him, he could see that his right eye was now glowing gold.

"If you finished reading my diary from who knows when I wrote that since it's probably a thousand year old then you'd know, but to think you would do this after getting hints guess you're not dumb after all"

"It's not appearing in my menu"

"That's because it's beyond the Angel's way of detecting power, do you see the red mark in my forehead?"

Eun-woo nodded.

"If you strike me there and now my I'd probably disappear for a month, if you're fighting a being that's not human or has a clear weakness then you can use my divinity to strike their soul instead but"

As soon as Luxuria said that Eun-woo felt a sting in his eyes which forced him to close it and soon he did his whole body was aching as he fell down full of sweat as the pain was unbearable even for him.

"Since you only hold a small amount of my divinity the time you can activate it is short and the backlash for using my divinity is too strong for now"

Luxuria then raised her hands and gathered a small amount of divinity to heal Eun-woo, shortly he recovered after experiencing the backlash.

"If you were thinking of being reckless be my guess but only divine aura can heal or sustain another divine aura good luck telling Sowon to heal you"

"How do I gain more divine aura from you?"

"Get stronger or steal someone else's divine aura and make it yours"

"Since it's your skill what do you call it?"

"You already know I'm bad at naming, name it yourself just don't make it sound too lame."

"I'll think of it soon, I'm also bad at naming things."

"All right"

Luxuria then chanted a spell as she gathers a large amount of divinity, it then formed into another ball and threw it inside Eun-woo's body.

"Be my guest in practicing it, I can only do this once or twice a month here"

"Thank you"

Eun-woo's right eye then turned golden, he then went to the controller and decided to raise the difficulty for C- level students so he could get used to the sensation and have a better battle sense since he had gotten used to relying on his skills and artifacts.

"Show off"

Luxuria grumbled as she took out a journal and started writing while looking at Eun-woo from afar as he was facing hordes of orcs and goblins

-

Hours had passed since Lee Jun-ho had started his training regime again, he didn't know but he still felt he was lacking in everything, he decided that in the future he would go raid a dungeon his father had told him when he was young one where his father said there were countless opportunities for people but it was also risky.

Lee Jun-ho panted as he had cleared the last wave he had set for himself, his sword dull from all the bodies he had decapitated, he's mind exhausted from having to quickly react, his body tired and was ready to fall.

Lee Jun-ho then closed his eyes as he had felt that his mind was now clear and now he had a clear course of action to take in the future, he had decided to focus on improving himself day by day and not compare his progress with Park Eun-woo.

As he stepped out of the closed training area he saw Park Eun-woo also coming out of one, he looked at him as they nodded at each other without saying anything.

"Watch out in the future Park Eun-woo"

"Be my guest"

-

"You know you're not fun"

Luxuria grumbled as she spoke to Eun-woo.

"What was I supposed to say?"

"I don't know? something along the lines of 'You're too weak to beat me' or 'Shut it Mongrel'"

"Some other time then"

As Eun-woo was walking back to he met Sowon along the way, he noticed there was a puppy walking with her, the puppy ran towards them then barked at Eun-woo then somehow seemingly barking at Luxuria.

'Can this dog see you?'

'Probably? It seems to be snarling at me, but I guess it's because I'm more of like a spirit'

'Or you smell bad'

Eun-woo then crouched down and took Snow in his arms, Snow didn't resist and allowed Eun-woo to pick him up, but still kept barking at Luxuria.

"What's it's name?"

"Snow"

"It's cute"

'It looks annoying'

Eun-woo didn't mind and gave Snow back to Sowon's arms, the two then walked back together to their dorm with Snow alternating in their arms every moment.
