Warlock of Oceans: My Poseidon System

Chapter 61 Elora

Since my classes hadn't started yet, I would go to the library in order to learn more about the gods, families in Elpol, significant locations, significant people, significant schools, and of course, information on my potential class ups and skills.

"Well, I got nothing else to do," I shrugged, but on my way there, I ran into a familiar somebody who didn't look as confident.

"Oh, what's up," The elven girl meekly smiled, holding her ribs as she limped down the hallway. "You really fucked me up yesterday."

"My apologies. I should have held back more,"

"That doesn't really make me feel better," She chuckled, and as I decided to help her back to her dorm, we discussed a few things silently.

…

"Come on, sit down. I won't bite," The girl gestured for me to sit, but she was the one who needed the bed the most, so I helped her lay down before pouring her a cup of water.

"Where'd you… get this?"

"The sink now drink it. You're clearly dehydrated, so drink this," I said, and as she reluctantly took the paper cup, she stopped just before it reached her lips.

"Why did you let him win? You could have easily destroyed him. You could have utterly humiliated him and not just him, but everybody there… do you want to be some cool underground edge lord where you want to hide your power?" The girl scoffed before taking a sip of water.

Although, she quickly spit out as I replied.

"Yeah, and what if I want to be an edge lord?"

"Pffft… What the hell- oh… fuck you," She pushed me off the edge of her bed as she saw my taunting smile. "If you don't want to say, that's fine. I don't want to pry on your own personal life and goals,"

"That's fine for me, Elora,"

Her lips stopped just before they grazed the edge of her cup, her golden eyes slowly shifting over to me.

"Speaking of prying on personal life… it's already too late for you. I've already figured out your real name without much trouble. I have somebody who helps me quite a lot, and she really came in clutch… because who would've thought I'd be talking to Elora Trislee," I smiled.

The girl grits her teeth before chucking the cup of water at me and then clutching the collar of my shirt.

"If you tell anybody about this, then I will have my servants torture and then slaughter you in the most gruesome way possible," The girl glared deep into my eyes, but she was still too weak to try and kill me.

"I understand, Laura…."

"Good… just call me that when you're here. Not even the teachers and administrators of this school know of my identity, so if you tell anybody, not only will I be fucked, but you and your adorable little siblings will be hung from my balcony,"

My smile slowly faded as she threatened my siblings, but I managed to dismiss it as there was something up with one of the things she had just explained.

"And who said that?"

"Said what?" She questioned, lowering my collar and then pushing me away from her out of anger. "Said. What?"

"That not even the administrators of the school know of your identity… because the one who told me of your identity is an administrator. In fact, you know them and have met them,"

Her eyes shifted downwards, troubled by what I had just said.

"Who was it? I'll pay you good money if you tell me who they are," The elf offered, and my smile soon returned, causing Elora to visibly shiver as she had fallen into my trap.

"Hmmm… I don't really want money. It would be nice, but I'd prefer to have something else. In fact, if I ask for two things, can you get them for me? It would be nice to have them,"

"Get me a Heart of the Sea and the Skeleton of an Assassin. Those two, and I'll tell you just who they are so you can dispose of them if you would like… as long as I obtain those two things. Just those two things,"

She began to chew on her nail before looking up at me as her identity was something so sacred that I could be put to death by just talking to her.

Though, why would somebody of her status be roaming the halls of this school… or maybe,

"You escaped?"

"Huh?" She looked up at me, snapping out of her deep thought.

"Nothing. So, can you get me what I want, or do we not have a deal?"

"An entire heart of the sea is difficult even for me, but will a few shards suffice?" The elf asked, and my mouth grew even wider as my plan fell into place almost too perfectly.

I made it look like I was thinking it over, but I believe my almost malicious smile gave away how excited I was about this deal.

"Fine… then, shall we shake on it?" I placed out my hand as soon as my lips closed, the elf hesitant to take it.

It took a minute before she finally grabbed my hand, and we firmly shook on our perfect deal. This might have ruined our friendship, but it definitely moved our relationship in an ideal way… well, at least for me.

"Then, I'll come by to collect my resources tomorrow,"

"Tomorrow? It will take at least a week-"

"Tomorrow. Otherwise, you won't be getting shit from me,"

"Tch… two days. Give me two days, and I should be able to do it," Elora responded, and after I poured her another cup of water, I glanced over at the defeated look on her face.

She quickly took the cup of water and continued to glare at me, my interest in such a character still peaking with excitement.

"Can I see your real form?" I lightly giggled, and as she restrained the urge to chuck the cup of water at me again, she pointed at the door.

"Get out."

"Whatever you say, Elora~,"
