Chapter 119: Extending membership invitation to instructor Sephia
Helena smiled.
"Well, by closing my eyes, I was surprisingly able to detect the whistling sound of your blue blade as it cut through the air towards me. And since I could detect it immediate location in the air, I knew that you would appear where the blade had gotten to. So without wasting time, I quickly executed a backward sweep to knock you off your feet to the ground immediately when you appeared." She said and grinned.
"Oh... But I am wowed. So your ears could perceive the sound of my blade as it shot through the air towards you? I guess your hearing has grown more powerful, Helena" Lydia said with a smile appearing in her face.
"I guess so too" Helena said with a smile in her face too.
Then all of a sudden, a thought materialized in her head.
'If I am able to detect the sound of a magical attack that it's shooting through the air towards me, enabling me to know it location and thereby easily evade it, then I guess don't really need a Magical Awareness spell to alert me of spells that would be launch at me me from any direction.' Helena said inwardly with a furrowed brow.
'Hmm. I guess I can use this newfound ability of mine to enhance my battle prowess during the spellcasting battle between me and that challenger of mine from the Law Enforcement and Punishment faculty.' she said further inwardly.
"Should we continue training?" Lydia asked Helena.
"No. Since we have all benefitted, let's call it a day. I wanna retreat to my room to relax and immerse myself into a comprehension state to master new spells."
"Hmm. That's right. Let each of us retreat to our rooms then." Lydia said while Helena nodded.
"Lauren, come down will you? What are you doing floating in the air for? Training is over." Deborah said while Lauren nodded.
And when she landed before them with her pair of large, metal-like wings folding and retracting back into her shoulders, she said to them "But I didn't gain anything from the training. It was only you guys that got something from it. And now, you all have called it off. It's not fair. I am starting to think that you guys don't really like me. You don't want me to awaken any ability and be full of delight like you guys"
When Helena, Lydia and Deborah heard what Lauren said, they shook their head with amiable smiles in their faces.
Then Helena came over to Lauren's side with a smile in her face and said, whilst putting one of her arms on Lauren's shoulder "Come on, Lauren. Please don't think like that. If I am asked who is my favorite in our cult group, I will definitely choose you and you again. I will never pick anyone else over you, dear Lauren."
Immediately after Helena said that, Lauren who had an unhappy look in her face suddenly broke a delighted smile across her face, and then put out her tongue for Deborah who only shook her head with a slightly furious utterance of 'What a baby' in her mind.
"Don't feel sad about not having any of your bloodline abilities awakened and working perfectly at the moment. Just know that with time, they will awaken and you will be able to deploy them as you desire. Am I clear?" Helena said further by asking.
"Yes, senior Helena." Lauren nodded her head with a smile in her face while Helena winked at her with an amiable smile in her face too.
"Alright. Let's return now" Helena said.
Then as they prepared to go, Deborah who was currently looking at the badly damaged state of their own portion of the training field, looked at Helena and asked with a perplexed tone "What are we going to do about the devastated state of our training field? When the instructors come tomorrow to start training for everyone of us and they see the terribly damaged state of our training field, they could call us out and ask us to fix it."
"Nah. They won't do that. Believe me." Helena said and then grinned.
"No, senior Helena. We believe that they won't do anything to you since you are their highly favored daughter. But what about us, who don't even appear in their vision at all?" Lydia asked, after she too saw the really appalling state of the field.
"I said that they won't do anything to you guys. By taking all the blames upon myself, no punishment would be directed at you guys. And since they wouldn't want to punish me or do anything to me, then we would all go scot free" Helena said with a smile in her face as she looked at them.
"Alright. That could work too" Lydia said and grinned.
Then they both left the training field by coming out of the huge bronze gate that was still wide open.
Immediately they came out of it, the massive bronze gate was shut close while Helena and the girls proceeded to their rooms to go relax or do a few things.
"Senior Helena, I and my sister are going to Lucretia's room to see if she was able to completely comprehend the profoundness of that high-level magical spell that she wanted to master." Deborah said while Helena nodded.
"Okay. But when you get there and you see that she is still in that enlightening comprehension state, do not try to bring her out of it. You can just silently leave there and go back there sometimes later if you guys actually want to discuss." Helena said while Lauren and Deborah nodded their heads.
"We would do as you said, senior Helena" Lauren said with a smile in her face.
"Alright then. You girls can leave now." Helena said.
She then said further "You girls shouldn't forget to have fun amongst yourselves. But don't be too carried away by it. Recall that you need to hone your bloodline abilities. That's much more paramount than every other thing that you are also here for."
"Alright ma'am" Lauren and Deborah said at the same time with a slight nod of their heads.
Then they left both Helena's and Lydia's presence and walked to where Lucretia's room was situated to see if she had come our of her Magical Epiphany state.
"Well, bye for now Helena. See you later" Lydia suddenly said while Helena nodded.
She then left for her room to relax while Helena went to see instructor Sephia.
Instructor Sephia was the spell teacher that made Helena study a few of those incomplete spells that were drafted into many, varying sizes of books and were disposed off into a particular massive room to act as dump room for the books.

When Helena got to instructor Sephia's room, she knocked on her door.
* Knock! *
"Who's there?" Sephia's voice rang out from within.
"Instructor Sephia, it's me Helena" Helena responded.
"Alright. Come in" Sephia's voice rang out once again.
Then the door swung open by itself for Helena to come in.
"Hello, instructor Sephia" Helena greeted with a smile in her face.
"Hey Helena, what did you come here to do?" Sephia asked with a perplexed expression in her face.
"Well, I came to extend membership invitation to you" Helena answered.
"Oh!... You came to extend a membership invitation to me? Well, to what society or faction?" Sephia asked with an heavily surprised expression in her face.
"To my cult, the Heavenly Fiend Termination cult" Helena replied with an affable smile surfacing in her face.
"Hmm. I like the name of your cult group. It sounds tyrannical. But why did come to me to ask me to become a member of your cult? There are still many other instructors around that you can go to meet and would willingly join." Sephia said with a smile.
"Well, I like you. So I want you to join." Helena simply answered.
Sephia exhaled.
"Alright. I will join. But do you know that you are the first to have an instructor as a member of your cult group?" She asked.
"Well, I don't know about that. But if I am probably the first, then it's because I am the Chosen One. Isn't that what you usually said to me?" Helena replied with a smile appearing in her face and then questioned.
Haha!
Sephia grinned.
"You got me there, Helena." She said when she stopped laughing.
She then said further "Alright then, you can count me as the senior-ranking member of your cult group. But wait, don't tell me that I am the only instructor in your cult group? I hope others would join your group too?"
"Well, I plan to extend membership invitation to instructor Amber and my private fitness and combat teacher, instructor Deylina. But I am unsure if they would join." Helena said.
"Oh. Well, they should, since you are the Chosen One" Sephia said while Helena chuckled.
"So Helena, how far with those incomplete magical spells that I said you should independently complete on your own and fully master? Have you been able to do so?" Sephia asked with one of her brows furrowed.
