Heaven's Greatest Professor

Chapter 97: Weird Sex Magic?

"Do you have a path of power?"

"There is no term suggesting a path on my status page," Warden said. "Anyway, I'm part Celestial. Can that be the reason?"

June's eyes widened in stunned surprise. "Of course! Why didn't I think of that?!" she said, studying his face obtrusively. "Tall regal figure, White hair, a peculiar set of powers, with fast regeneration. It's so apparent."

June sounded more disappointed in herself for not finding it on her own to figure it out.

"I guess the absence of wings didn't help in the case."

"Wings?" Warden asked.

"Did you forget Celestials have angelic wings?" she explained.

"Like birds?" Warden asked wide eyes. "I'm something like a bird?"

June didn't bother to quench his unfounded worry as there probably was no sane person who would compare celestials to birds. They are closer to angelic beings than birds, but Warden was weirder than your usual Joe to have his unusual worry.

"You seem to lack their Glamour as well," June said, frowning.

"What's Glamour?" Warden asked, suspicious. "Is it some weird sex magic thing?"

June did not why she was still surprised with everything his mind cooked up. "Glamour is like the ethereal beauty unique to some races that can enamour others," she explained after shooting a look of disapproval. "Succubi, Spirit races like fae possess it too."

"So it is a sex magic thing," Warden said, sounding wholly convinced.

"It's not like that, at least for most races they cannot control it," June said. "It is kind of like a passive skill."

"Do elves have it as well?" Warden couldn't help but ask. "And if so, what are the chances I was seduced by your passive Glamour?"

June glared at him. "We don't have it," she said strongly.

"And from the look of it, I don't have it either," Warden said under his breath, "or I would have seduced you by now."

"It doesn't work like that," June said, clearly hearing his whisper.

"How do you know you're not already being seduced by me?" Warden asked with a bright smile.

"I already said," June explained slowly for one last time, "it doesn't work like that."

"Oh June, you're already over fifty years old and yet so naive and pure," Warden said, biting his lips.

June snorted. "My mental abilities are so high you need to have two ranks higher than me to even affect me."

He smiled. "Jokes aside, I guess I do not have it because I am not full Celestial?" Warden said. "I believe my human part is more prominent."

He didn't mention the percentage with the corruption mark on his status page, as that might be something else to be divulged so easily. He was not ready to disclose those details, considering the consequences might be greater than he believed.

Honestly, Warden did not feel any different, even after the number rose by 4%. Like nothing was controlling his mind or corrupting him to make him... murdery? The corruption might be something else altogether.

"Alright, you mentioned Celestial's radiance power," Warden said, "but I don't have that either."

Radiance power would be more helpful than he realized, with both of his legendary equipment needing it to showcase their full power. He finally realized that whoever made them for him didn't make a mistake in putting all those enchantments of the light attribute. He just hoped there would be a problem between Void and light attribute.

"Perhaps you haven't awakened your radiance power yet," June said hesitantly, unsure. "Like elves, Celestials' path to power is different. While humans can choose various classes numbering over thousands, elves get a dozen paths each one intertwined with the other, but Celestials only get one, as far as I know.

"Their radiance power and regeneration make them almost immortal, and impossible to kill. They are fast too, with wings and all. Howver to gain all those powers they go through a trial to awaken their powers. I believe you haven't gone through your first trial yet. As for the wings, I don't have enough knowledge in the subject to guess if you'll ever have them."

Warden frowned. This subject was so nerve-wracking. He couldn't piece together anything with the hole in his mind. He remembered the two symmetrical scars on his back just below the shoulders. Now, considering he had wings, they should probably be around those scars. A chilling premonition came to his mind, as he gritted his teeth.

"I am really surprised," June said. "The possibilities to conceive a half-human, half-celestial being is less than one in a million. Perhaps even higher. At least the one who conceived you must need to be a transcendent rank to have a chance."

Warden only harrumphed and couldn't manage to say anything.

"Perhaps what you're seeking is in the forbidden realms of the Celestials," she said and sighed. "Also, I must add, like the elves, the Celestials do not encourage crossbreeding."

Warden understood what was underlined in her words. He needed to tread carefully and cautiously when it related to celestial business. In the end, it all came down to personal power. If he could become powerful enough, he would get all the answers. In his current state, he might just be a matter of pity.

Warden shook off the depressing thoughts forcing himself and came back to his cheery self. "Well, I don't have any more questions currently," he said and held his left arm. "Thank you for your patience."

June took his palm as her eyes glowed in silver light. She immediately made contact with his mind as it instinctively closed in on it. After a moment, he let her show what she was examining in the thin lines of fatemarks, as the chains of complicated script appeared in his mind again.

"These runes are never really like the common ones," June said in his mind. "This looks far more ancient, powerful, and complex. I could not fathom who even created such monstrosities; there seems to be no end to it."

"Are the runes in your fate mark similar?" Wardon asked.
