Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 122 Grouping (2)

While they greeted each other and did some small talk, rest of the disciples also arrived. After a while six elders in white also came and and stood on the slightly raised platform before the whole class.

There were three female and three males among them. One of them was the elder who organised the fights yesterday and gave out library tokens. All of them looked slightly over thirty, however it was because of their cultivation, in reality they should be well over mid-thirties.

After seeing so many women, he realised that he hadnʼt seen a single ugly woman since he came to this world. Even in Maxwellʼs memories, he didnʼt find any women who could be considered ugly.

The elder from yesterday stepped forward and said ”Disciples! These five elders and I will be taking charge of you inner disciples.”

”Greetings elders!” Disciples said in unison while bowing their heads a little. Max also did the same.

The elders nodded before she continued ”As I said yesterday, in your class, youʼve 320 disciples who will be divided in six sections.”

She then pointed to another female elder who seemed a bit younger and said ”Elder Laire will be taking charge of first section, Iʼll be taking second section....” She then told which elder will be in charge of which section.

She then took out a large piece of paper and used her mana to hover it before the students. ”Take a look at your names to find out which section are you in and report to your assigned elder.”

Flavia glanced at Max before searching for her name, she was in the second section. However, expression became a bit sad after not finding Maxʼs name among the names written in the second section.

She then searched for his name and found out that he was assigned to the fifth group under a male elder named, Jack.

Max also saw this and he couldnʼt help but shake his head. If that elder put both of them in the same class that would have been best.

Seeing that Flavia was feeling a bit sad about it, he smiled. It seems the day wasnʼt far...

He gently put his arm around her thin waist to test his luck. He was surprised how heavenly her slim waist felt in his arm.

Flavia yelped in surprise, she didnʼt expect him to do something like this however, before she could say anything, Max said, making his voice as gentle as he possibly could ”Donʼt be sad. Like I said yesterday, Iʼm always here for you. Whenever you need me, you can come find me. Okay!”

Surprisingly, Apart from the initial quiver, Flavia didnʼt say anything about the fact he had his arm around her waist and nodded while looking down ”Okay.”

Because she was looking down, Max couldnʼt see her face. If he could see it, he would find out that her face red like a peach. Her mind was focused on his hand that was holding her thin waist.

She hadnʼt experienced what she was feeling right now before. No male had even touched her hand before (of course, except Max), let alone doing something as intimate as putting their arm around her waist. However, what surprised her was, she didnʼt felt the rejection and discomfort she thought she would and what more she even liked it a bit which left her heart racing. 

ʼWhy I am being like this around him? I should move his hand away and tell him not to do anything like this next time. But why Iʼm feeling embarrassed to see his face now. What is this feeling...ʼ These conflicted emotions made her frustrated. She wasnʼt interested in romance even a bit like the girls of her age usually were.

She only wanted to improve her strength quickly and to not become her familyʼs puppet and take revenge for her fatherʼs death. But she realised that whenever she was with him, the hatred she felt for her family and the disgust for Dalton and all her worries would lessen significantly.

She would even laugh sometimes which was incomprehensible for her. She would feel at peace and thatʼs why she didnʼt want to separate from him.

However while she was feeling conflicted over what to do, Max took his hand back which wanted to feel the softness of her waist.

ʼAm I becoming more lustful because I havenʼt had sex for a while now?ʼ Max thought while staring at his hand. He could even feel his ʼlittle brotherʼ become hard in excitement.

However his thoughts were interrupted by elderʼs voice.

”I assume all of you know which section are you in. Now those who are in the second section come with me.”  Saying this she walked out of the auditorium.

Flavia calmed down after Max took his hand back and the redness on her also lessened. She stood up, with her back facing Max and asked ”Max, you wonʼt forget your friend after not meeting for a while right?”

”Of course not.” Max replied while shaking his. How could he forget her when he decided to make her his woman?

”Okay Iʼll be going now.” She said and started walking down when she heard Max say ”Okay, take care of yourself.” Hearing this a beautiful smile appeared on her face as she felt happy.

The elder, Nena her name was, saw this and sighed. 

After the second section had followed the elder Nena, rest of the sections also went out.

Fifth section in which Max was also headed out of the auditorium.

–––In an open field–––

Elder Jack, in charge of fifth section, brought them to an open area where many rocks of different sizes ranging from a fist size to a large boulder were scattered around.

He stood in front of fifty disciples and said ”For one month Iʼll train you here and also teach you about outer world as much as you need to know. After that to give you some real experience, you will go out for adventure in the cloud mountain range below, where countless beasts reside. So to avoid death, you should train diligently”

After a pause he continued ”Now, I want you guys to form ten groups of five disciples each. Note that this group will remain the same when you go down in the mountain range, so choose wisely.”

Everyone started forming group after elder Jack stopped speaking. Just as Max turned towards the disciples to ask if anyone was interested, he found a familiar figure standing in front of him.

”Can I join your group?” Haory asked. She was in the same group as him. So when elder told them to form groups she decided to ask him.

Max smiled ”Of course, you can.” He also wanted to ask her because she was very strong and would prove to be useful when fighting in the mountain range.

”Okay, you can choose rest as you like.” She said and stood quietly beside him.

Max shook his head and noticed that around a dozen disciples were standing in front of him, looking at him with hopeful expression.

The thing to note was, almost all of them were girls. Seeing this, the male disciples in the section looked at him with envy and jealousy.
