Luke ca back to himself and tasted feathers in his mouth.
Seeing him open his eyes, Nyx stopped slapping him with her wings and eyed him with wide, red pupils.
"You scared the shit out of !" she cawed. "Why did you just pass out after drinking the potion?!"
Luke sat up on the floor, realizing he must have fallen after being pulled up by Mr. Fool. He held his head, frowning. "How long was I out?"
"What I am? Clock?!" Nyx snapped, taking deep breaths. "… Around 15 minutes…"
So, the ti I spend there is the sa as here… Luke observed. "I was by Mr. Fool's side…" he told Nyx, making her panic vanish. "We talked… about things…"
For a mont, Luke wondered if he should tell her about Mr. Fool's theory about Conformity and Singularity.
Not because he didn't trust Nyx, but, after hearing what kind of beings he was up against, even the thought of speaking about them openly sent a chill running down his spine.
Miss Justice… Luke called out the System in his mind.
His frown deepened. It never took her to reply to him so late.
Miss…
…
[
I am here!
I am here!!
Sorry. Phew! — That was a lot to take in. Praise Mr. Fool!
First, how do you feel, Luke?
]
…
"…?"
Luke?! Miss Justice never addressed by my na before, Luke thought, rembering the word Blessed used by the System every ti. Is this part of the changes Mr. Fool was talking about?
Luke closed his eyes and went through the knowledge granted by the potion.
Sequence 9 — Apprentice — phase through walls and other big obstacles by Opening a symbolic, incorporeal Door. They could also unlock many locks, especially if they weren't supernaturally placed by soone.
It will go well with Marauder's abilities, Luke observed.
"I feel good, Miss Justice," he said aloud, keeping Nyx in the loop.
Then, ntally, Luke shared his doubts about discussing the things he learned from Mr. Fool with Nyx.
…
[
Hmm… That's tricky…
If Conformity and Singularity are anything like the Existences from Mr. Fool's world, then rely speaking out their nas would bring their attention to you.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's why their… Their nas manifest while researching things related to Them.
]
…
What?! Luke's eyes widened, his jaw hanging low.
He noticed how Miss Justice spoke of Conformity and Singularity in almost the sa way she spoke of Mr. Fool.
But it was her last claim that shook him the most.
"How can that be?" Luke asked, stunned. "It isn't like these words have no other aning… Also, Dr. Kyudai published Quirk Sing… that theory way earlier than I published mine."
…
[
There is a difference between calling out words and nas, Luke.
Words are just that — Words.
While Nas have symbolic aning behind them in Mysticism.
When you speak out the nas of such existences, your spirituality resonates with your thoughts, automatically differentiating them from re words.
So, it's OK to talk about Quirk Singularity and Conformity as a topic.
But I would advise against doing so until you learn to suppress subconsciously thinking about Them.
Also, there's an easy way to confirm the matter of Quirk Singularity…
You just need to ask Dr. Kyudai how did he co up with the na, right?
]
…
Luke's thoughts instantly went to the ti when Mr. Fool had asked him the sa thing.
How did he co up with the na — Quirk Conformity?
Then, he had no answer, despite it being him who was the researcher behind it. It had felt like a thought planted inside him, and then he forgot about it.
So, yes. If Dr. Kyudai failed to recall the sa, wouldn't that confirm that there was indeed sothing wrong with this all?
Not only that, but it would confirm everything that Mr. Fool told him this ti, Luke realized.
Still, the matter on the hands persisted.
…
[
You have two great choices to go about that, Luke.
First, you can bestow a Telepathy Quirk on Nyx and then communicate with her ntally.
Second, you can create a Wall of Spirituality around you and her and then talk freely within.
I will advise using the second thod as you have never used it before. This way, I can also collect data on the rate of your Spirit Points consumption while maintaining the wall of spirituality.
]
…
Oh, yeah… Luke rembered Miss Justice teaching him about the Wall of Spirituality which was an inherent part of the Ritualistic Magic.
After learning everything, Luke had already collected the items relevant to the Rituals.
Nyx had been watching him quietly all this while. When she saw him just get up and pull out the silver knife from a hidden compartnt in his drawer, she couldn't help but feel the burn.
"I hate it!" she hissed, fluttering near to him on the bed. "I hate when you talk to that stupid Miss Justice… It's like two people talking in a different language right in front of you… What am I? So feathery third wheel?!"
…
[…? She's cute… Hehe…]
…
Luke smiled wryly. "Are you jealous?"
"Don't make peck your ass, Luke!" Nyx warned.
"Alright—Alright," Luke nodded, knowing well that she would do it.
Taking a deep breath, and entering Cogitation, he poured his spirituality into the silver dagger.
Then, slowly, he sliced the surrounding space, letting the dagger beco a channel to spew out his spirituality.
An invisible, but perceptible, layer of spirituality sprung up around Luke and Nyx.
Even Nyx could feel it. The sounds and noises felt sluggish. The environnt felt soothing. There was calm and quietness.
…
[
Around 50 Spirit Points.
Not bad. I guess you could make it thicker, but it would work for now.
]
…
Nodding to himself, Luke told Nyx everything he learned from Mr. Fool.
By the ti he finished, the raven was already slamming her wings in anger.
"Mother%$#$…" Nyx cursed, Luke trying to hold her back. "Let go! I will use Dream Walk Quirk and peck out the ass of that blue massive asshole or whatever it is…"
"Be reasonable," Luke said, pressing her into the bed. "We never saw it in the father's dream again. Rember?"
Nyx bit Luke's finger, but then stopped struggling.
For a mont, both Luke and Nyx just stared at each other, feeling helpless.
They weren't strong. They weren't strong enough to go against their enemies. Furthermore, they weren't strong enough to unearth the mysteries without being found out.
"… and I need to find a follower now…" Luke said, already feeling the weight of the task.
…
[
Oh, yeah…
I already have all the content related to the next Sequences, Luke.
But, as per the deal, you must gain at least one follower of the religion of Mr. Fool.
]
…
When Nyx learned what Miss Justice told Luke, her eyes popped out suddenly.
"Wait, Wait!!!!" She cawed out her lungs. "Haha! Fall on your knees and worship this Goddess of Darkness!"
Luke pressed his brows together.
Then, his eyes lit up out of nowhere, too.
Miss Justice… Luke asked, his heart beating loudly against his chest. Can… Can Nyx beco the first follower of Mr. Fool?
