Behind The Scenes

-The next day

By the time Rin finished her reminiscing the day before, Ruby already dragged her below the bath surface, and they started playing and giggling in the bath. Ruby was shocked to find out that at the age of nineteen Rin already had large busts in front of her, which she kept squeezing in disbelief making Rin moan repeatedly. Ruby remembered that her chest was still very flat at that age and it was only after thousands of years that she grew busts but still it wasn't as big as Rin's own right now. Ruby started feeling inferior and decided that she would push her pride aside and ask Rin how to help her improve her feminism.

They went indoors later in the night with Ruby assuring Rin that she would get her revenge on the people who wronged her because Alusec always like to repay good deeds and there was no way that he wouldn't help Rin out after hearing her story.

Throughout the rest of the days, Ruby decided to properly check out Rin's abilities and found out that her source was combination of flaw and prediction. Ruby would have noticed this when they went hunting together but she never allowed Rin the chance to use her abilities, she was always the one taking care of the beasts in the forest.

Ruby decided to train Rin on how to use her abilities properly unbeknownst to her that she was learning from a deity that was hundred of thousands of years old.

Just like that seven days past

Back in the Baki clan, Alusec had not left the room. Patriarch Hong and the elders already held a meeting six days ago where he disclosed that Alusec was able to block his attack when he used a tenth of his strength, shocking the elders and sub - elders who attended the meeting. All of them had their own opinions, the majority of them being that Alusec must have used an artifact to block the attack making the Patriarch believe he was powerful so that he could bring him to the clan, and that saving his daughters was a scam. Patriarch Hong could see sense in the first explanation but in the second, he immediately dismissed it and regarded it as insensible. Some of them claimed that he was probably a spy sent by their enemies to sabotage them so they decided to send someone to gather information regarding Alusec using his unique description and look so they could find out more about him. To their dismay, they couldn't gather any information which further fueled their suspicions. They felt that there was no way that they would not be able to find information on someone who had already cultivated to the star transformation level. Ivrena was well known and her feats had spread across Ritler island as a star transformation youngster. There were also feats of other cultivators but one thing they had in common was their cultivation level was at the star transformation level and higher.

Patriarch Hong decided that they would take turns in tailing him, to always know his whereabouts and what he was up to, so if he did anything suspicious they would immediately come for him.

The only problem was they couldn't actually tail him since he hadn't left the room for seven days. The elders started getting impatient and wanted to go and force Alusec out of the room but Patriarch Hong kept to his word and didn't let anyone disturb Alusec.

Rumors had already circulated in the clan that the Patriarch has brought a suitor to the clan and he was currently staying in the Patriarch quarters. Some said he saved the princesses and the Patriarch decided to marry both daughters to him. Others said he was a very powerful cultivator that went into the ocean and came back alive. The sisters were known as princesses since the Patriarch was also the city lord.

The young men in the clan who had their eyes on one of the two sisters or both started swearing and cursing at whoever this lucky bastard was and claimed that if they ever saw him they would cut off his manhood.

For every day that Alusec spent indoors, Briella came to stand at his room door every morning to check if he was coming out and after staying for hours she would leave back to the Alchemy court disappointed.

The rumors continued to go wild as people sighted Briella who hardly visited the Patriarch quarters go there every day. A lot of the men were stationing themselves on the several paths that led to the seven mountains. They believed that when the scoundrel came out of the Patriarch's quarters he would pass through one of these paths. They didn't think that he would be flying since flying was not allowed around the seven sacred mountains area. Anybody passing through this place would have to walk regardless of their cultivation except the Patriarch and the elders.

Alusec the cause of the chaos finally came out of his room on the tenth day with the cultivation of a peak star transformation level.

"Hmm?... the source core only helped me improve this much?" Alusec said in disappointment while leaving through the door.

"On the bright side, I have reawakened my creation source which can only help me in duplicating things, for now, Alig...." Alusec was still speaking to himself when he noticed someone standing in the lobby.

The person also noticed him coming out of the room too and her face beamed with happiness which she was trying to hide but of course, Alusec noticed it, 'O boy, this is gonna be troublesome, how did I cause such a problem for myself,' Alusec thought as he was very experienced, he understood what was going on with the girl was the very thing he was trying to avoid.

"Cultivator Alusec," She called out to him.

"Hmm? Just call me Lord... I meant Alusec would do," Alusec said while walking closing the door behind him.

"What was your name again?" Alusec asked which made Briella's face burn red with embarrassment, 'He doesn't even remember my name,' For some reason unknown to her, that made her feel slightly unhappy.

"It was Briella," She answered with a half-smile.

"Ok Briella, what brings you here?" Alusec asked but immediately gave himself a facepalm in his mind, 'How can I ask that kind of question when she's in her father's quarters,'

Briella, unaware of his conflicting thoughts answered, "I came to thank you for saving me and my sister," She said while fidgeting.

"No need for that, it's Ok," Alusec turned right to leave.

"My sister is not a bad person so please forgive her conduct, she's just been grumpy and power-hungry ever since we lost our mother so please don't take it to heart," Briella said with a pleading look.

"Don't worry about that, I'm not in any way angry at her, after all, she's still a child," Alusec said while walking forward without looking back as he thought, 'I know she's not a bad person, otherwise there's no way it'll be inside her if she was evil, after all it detests evil to the extreme... was that why it could never get along with Calicrum?' Alusec wondered as he transversed through the lobby when he remembered something.

"I'm trying to get away from her because of what I'm noticing but I forget that I'm only here in the first place because of she and her sister," Alusec realized that he can't avoid her and started walking back towards his room area.

He found her already heading in the opposite direction and called out to her, "Hey, Briella, can you take me on a tour, round the clan?"

Briella who was formerly walking away with a crestfallen look was surprised to hear Alusec voice come from behind.

She turned around and immediately said yes to him. Together they walked towards the entrance of the quarters.

After they had walked past the room area, a man could be seen materializing out of the wall on the other side of the door.

"Time to see what you're up to," He said in a solemn voice.
