Chapter 88 - Aether

Zoe seemed to know more about this energy than I did. After all, they had probably researched it quite a lot since Phoebe was affected by it.

"Come with me. We have to tell the chief about your new power."

"W-Wait. I'm too weak to stand up just yet. It hasn't been a long time since I lost over 50% of my strength by losing my soul."

Zoe didn't seem to care as she just grabbed my arm and wrapped it around her shoulder, basically dragging me to the chief's house.

As she did so, we heard a distinct voice coming from behind us; it was Ariella's, who just watched with a frown.

"P-Professor, what happened to you? Why aren't you able to stand straight?"

I smiled. "Don't worry, everything is fine. The training was just a little too rough, and I pushed myself too hard. I'll be in top shape tomorrow. Go back to sleep…"

Zoe nodded as if acknowledging what I had just said.
