deia looked at him in shock. "You will? Nico's ability is dangerous and you have never seen it before."
Harry agreed to her, "I can't let you teach him unless I know you are capable of doing so."
"I am capable enough to teach him." Lucian spoke calmly, even daring to say sothing that caused a commotion in the room. "I'm afraid no one is willing to teach him, and he will suffer more in the future because of your fear of a little boy."
deia's eyes imdiately lit up in excitent. She finally knew why his kindness point was 99, not 100. That minus 1 point's side of him was kind of hot in deia's eyes.
Morty slamd the table and exploded, "I'm not scared of him! You just don't know what kind of ability he possesses, so you underestimate him!"
"I'll not underestimate soone who can make you tremble in fear." Lucian didn't want to hear his rambling, so he straightly asked Harry, "What do you think, Leader?"
The smile disappeared from Lucian's face. He seed more serious and his tone slightly colder than usual.
Why did he act like that? He didn't even know Nico at all.
"Lucian, I appreciate your willingness to teach him, but I must warn you that Nico is ... special." Harry said, "His ability is beyond all of the hunters here, so no one can give him a proper lesson about his ability."
"I can see that," Lucian said, "But I'm more capable than the rest of you."
deia almost burst out laughing when he said that.
A mont ago, he had clearly said that he was just an ordinary person, but now he was blatantly implying that the hunters in the room were weaker than him.
'Lucian, honey, maybe you should learn to tone down your insult a little bit.'
But hey, who cared about other people's feelings as long as deia could see his hotter side?
On the other hand, Harry felt like Lucian was too confident for a big talker. Hence, he thought there was no harm in letting him teach Nico.
"If you think you are that capable, then I'll entrust Nico to you." Harry warned, "But I'll not take responsibility if sothing bad happens to you."
Lucian smiled. "Deal."
After they ca to the agreent, Harry decided he would let a grade-S hunter to stay in the village in turn and would take other hunters to the forest as long as they had a basic fight skill.
In that way, Harry could teach everyone how to survive outside the village and train them to fight a monster directly.
deia could guess Harry would be exhausted because of that arrangent, but a leader like him never complained in front of others.
Being a leader was truly an exhausting job.
"Naomi, can I talk to you for a second?" asked deia as Harry dismissed the etings.
"Okay."
deia brought Naomi to her room. "I want to give you an important task, but before that, I want to ask you sothing."
She continued, "How fast can you regenerate?"
Naomi tilted her head, feeling confused about her question. "About two minutes for severe injuries and one minute for minor injuries. Why?"
'Can you guess her grade?' asked deia to the system.
[She has a grade-SS ability]
No wonder her ability was impressive. In that way, she wouldn't die just because activate so stones.
deia then told Naomi the information about the stone of fertility and how to activate them.
Naomi creased her forehead. "I thought you just put them in the soil without having any consequences."
deia lied. "I also thought like that. But, whenever I touch the stone and bury it inside the soil, I feel exhausted." She pretended to be weak. "If I continue to activate them, maybe I'll die sooner."
She just didn't want to do such a tiring job.
Naomi seed concerned by her words. "Then, don't do it again! Let activate the stones instead."
deia happily handed a sack of fertility stones to her. "How about you try to activate 10 stones each day? If you're feeling that's too much, then you can tone it down."
"I think I can do more."
"That's great! Naomi, you're the best!"
Finally, deia could reduce her labor and have more ti to relax.
"I'll let you know if I can activate more stones," said Naomi.
"Okay."
Naomi then left the room, but when she opened the door, she saw Lucian standing in front of it.
"Am I interrupting you?" asked Lucian as he knew there was soone in deia's room.
deia, "No, Naomi is just about to leave. You can co in."
Naomi exchanged smiles with Lucian before she left them alone.
Lucian closed the door and imdiately approached deia and lowered his head like a sad dog. "I'm sorry for my bad behavior earlier."
"What attitude? You impressed in the eting." deia sat on the chair, then crossed her leg. She smiled. "I like a man who is a little bit, just a little bit any."
But please not as an as her ex, or deia would have a second nightmare.
"Besides, I can't wait to see you teach the boy." deia pretended to be sad and cared so much about Nico. "Poor boy. He has been shutting himself down since the accident two years ago."
"Can you tell what happened to him and his sister?" asked Lucian. His voice was sincere and slightly hesitant.
deia collected the original body's mories before she spoke, "If I'm not wrong, his parents were the local villagers who survived the apocalypse. But his father died because of sickness when he was six, leaving him alone with his mother and sister."
For years, Nico hadn't awakened his mutant ability, so the villagers thought he would be an ordinary human for the rest of his life.
However, he suddenly awakened his ability when he was 11 years old. His ability was so strong that he could not control it.
The hunters tried to stop him, but they deliberately made him anxious and panicked.
"In the midst of chaos, Nico accidently trapped her sister inside the shield. He wanted to open it, but shrunk it instead and ...."
Her body exploded because of the pressure. Nico watched her die in horror and made him emotionally unstable. At that mont, Harry had to hit him in the back of the head to knock him unconscious.
"His mother refused to see him and decided to unalive herself after that."
After that, Nico shut himself from the outside world and hid in the church. If only the spider didn't destroy the church, maybe he would never see the sun again.
Lucian was silent for a mont before he said, "Did he ever use his ability again?"
deia shook her head. "No. He's too afraid to use it again, even when the spider attacked him, he chose to do nothing."
"The tragedy must have left a deep scar in his heart." He murmured to himself, "I should find a way to heal the scar."
"Lucian, may I ask you sothing?" deia asked a question when she got his attention. "Why are you so eager to teach Nico? You don't even know him."
Lucian seed like he wanted to say sothing, but closed his mouth again. He took a deep breath and said, "Because he must be so scared of himself and I don't want him to turn into the Lost."
Everyone knew it was ti for Nico to turn into the Lost. His mind had been in a chaotic state for two years, and no one had tried to help him, except Sister Jeanne, who had always taken care of him without fear.
"Enough of the sad story. Why don't we think about the place we'll use to train Nico?"
Lucian, "We?"
"Yes, you and . You don't think you will teach him alone, do you? Despite a good teacher, Nico also needs soone he knows well and I'm the right person."
deia had been living in the church for the past five years, so Nico could trust her.
At first, she thought Lucian would despise her intention because most people would think she was a burden and could get hurt around Nico.
However, Lucian simply said, "I'll be glad if you join us."
