3:48 pm.

Female Dormitory, Temple of Priests Private Compound, Luxen City.

Vivian was lying down on her bed with nothing but her bra and underwear. The windows were closed shut with the curtains pulled in, and the door was locked and had a blanket covering the edges.

[Greater Origin Enchant].

Dark red lightning appeared on her hand.

[Halo].

As soon as the golden ring began to manifest on her back, the dark red lightning immediately crawled from her hand to her back and was being absorbed by the ring until it grew up to 4 times its normal size.

She deactivated [Halo].

[Greater Origin Enchant].

[Halo].

Deactivate.

Vivian didn’t do the [Greater Origin Enchant], break a finger, [Heal], and then repeat sequence today because she wanted to think.

Whether I will participate in the Holy Crusade or not…

I’ll still eventually have to travel because I have to level up my Physical Arts…

[Greater Origin Enchant].

[Halo].

Deactivate.

An image of Robert the Guildmaster, Pana and Mrs. Belfair along with her sons flashed inside her head.

Tch!

She clicked her tongue.

Those useless fucking insects…!

This is all their fault…!

Why can’t people just mind their own fucking business and leave me alone…?!

[Greater Origin Enchant].

[Halo].

Deactivate.

“Ugh…

“I miss being a man…

“Everyone just leaves me alone…”

[Greater Origin Enchant].

[Halo].

Deactivate.

But seriously…

Who was the idiot who made a law that it’s prohibited to overhunt…?!

[Greater Origin Enchant].

[Halo].

Deactivate.

She shook her head and let out a sigh.

But then again…

If there wasn’t any law…

There wouldn’t be any animal or monster to hunt…

But still…!

[Greater Origin Enchant].

[Halo].

Deactivate.

If I’m going to join the Holy Crusade…

I want to at least reach 200 points on all of my stats…

That way --…

She suddenly thought about something and immediately sat up.

"Fuck…!"

She turned to the door.

Right...

I should’ve asked what’s the average Physical and Magic Force of someone in their 20s or mid-20s…

She shook her head.

No...

It should be late 20s if I truly want special treatment…

Especially in a place, profession or whatever you want to call it like the Holy Crusade where strength is everything…

She glanced at the clock.

3:50 p.m.

Criselle is still at the Cafeteria working…

I could ask Sister Lorei but I would only be forced to spend more time with her…

I mean…

Even I would feel some type of way if someone only comes to visit me whenever they have a question and then immediately leave despite me inviting them a couple of times…

“Aha! I know who I should ask!”

Vooom!

She turned into a blur as she began preparing.

***

4:00 p.m.

Vivian stepped inside the Blacksmith Shop within the Temple of Priests Private Compound.

What the…?

Not counting herself, Sike and Grace, there were 9 White Cloaks inside the shop between the ages of late teens and late 20s.

What’s going on here…?

She turned to Sike who was busy entertaining one of the White Cloaks. Meanwhile, Grace was nowhere in sight but she noticed that there were 3 White Cloak Priestesses waiting outside the fitting room where Marie entered to suit up for her armor last time.

Fuck…!

I don’t think this is going to work…

The customer White Cloaks threw a glance at her but no one approached her.

Who am I going to ask…?

An image of Annabelle flashed inside her head and then she shook her head.

If I go there…

It will only be awkward…

Aside from her possibly asking me if I made a decision…

There’s also a chance that Marie is also there…

An image of Ezekiel flashed inside her head.

Oh…!

***

4:06 p.m.

Vivian entered the Mission Room and immediately headed to Ezekiel who was sitting behind a counter and chatting with Rhys.

When the two White Cloaks noticed her, she flashed a smile at them as she continued heading over to Ezekiel.

“Sister Vivian, it’s nice to see you. What can I do for you?”

“Brother, I have a question about Physical and Magic Force.”

A surprised expression flashed across Ezekiel’s face for a brief moment because when people would come here, they would typically ask about the Holy Missions, the rewards and the Holy Crusade.

“What about it, sister?”

“I was told that the average Physical and Magic Force of a person in his or her 40s is Spirit Steel. So I was wondering what’s the average Physical and Magic Force of a person in their 20s, particularly in their late 20s.

“However, I will understand if you don’t want to answer because Sister Criselle also told me that it’s rude to ask about a person’s Magic Art Affinities, their Physical Art Masteries, and their Physical and Magic Force.

“Also, I was going to ask Sister Criselle what’s the average Physical and Magic Force of a person in their 20s but she’s currently busy working at the Cafeteria and I don’t want to bother her.”

“Sister Criselle told you that?” Ezekiel asked.

Vivian nodded.

“Yes.”

“I see. Well, what Sister Criselle said is indeed true. Most people, especially the older ones, don’t want to talk about such things. But since you’re asking what’s the average, not my Physical and Magic Force, then I don’t mind.”

“Thank you for, brother,” Vivian said and flashed a warm smile.

Ezekiel thought about it for a moment before answering.

“I think it depends on the number of the Magic Art Affinities that the person possesses. But if I were to make an educated guess, the average Physical and Magic Force of a person in their late 20s, regardless of their Magic Art Affinities, I would say -- Wait, are we just talking about Priests here? Because if it’s just Priests, I can give an answer. But for the others, I don’t know.”

“Priests.”

“Then I would say that the average Physical and Magic Force of a person in their late 20s, regardless of their Magic Art Affinities, is Orichalcum,” he said and then turned to Rhys who raised an eyebrow.

“Are we also counting which Holy Crusade Division they’re part of?”

Ezekiel nodded.

“That’s for all Divisions.”

Rhys nodded as well.

“Then I guess I can agree. Because if we’re going to only consider the Infantry Division, they’re usually half a Grade or a Grade higher due to the Field Missions they have to participate in.”

Ezekiel nodded again.

“That’s true.”

“Meanwhile, if we’re only going to count the Sea Division, Inquisitory Division and the Exploratory Division, I would say their Physical and Magic Force tend to be half a Grade lower.”

Ezekiel shook his head.

“That’s where I disagree with you, brother. The Inquisitory Division, I would agree. But for the Sea and Exploratory Division, I would say some yes, some no.”

Rhys gave Ezekiel a look as if he couldn’t believe what Ezekiel just said.

“Do you remember the Field Mission where we had to team up with some Brothers and Sisters from the Air and Sea Division to fight a group demon-worshipper pirates?”

“That was just one Field Mission though.”

“Then what about --”

Ezekiel and Rhy began arguing.

Eh…?

Seriously…?

Vivian let the two men argue for almost a minute before clearing her throat.

“Brother Ezekiel, Brother Rhys.”

The two Priests stopped arguing and turned to her.

“Thank you for answering my question, I really appreciate it. However, I have go to now and return back to training.”

The two Priests nodded.

“May the God of Light bless you with a quick breakthrough in your training, sister,” Ezekiel said.

***

8:13 p.m.

Vivian was inside her room, she stripped back down to her bra and underwear and was sitting on the floor.

[Greater Origin Enchant].

Dark red lightning appeared on her hand.

Crack!

She broke one of her fingers.

[Heal].

Her injury was healed.

If I can’t reach 200 points before leaving for the Holy Crusade…

I want to at least reach Adamantite…

Ever since she left the Mission Room, she went back to her room and trained. The only time she took a break was when she had to eat dinner around 6:30 p.m. and toilet break. But aside from those things, it was non-stop training.

[Greater Origin Enchant].

Crack!

[Heal].

[Greater Origin Enchant].

Crack!

[Heal].

She was about to cast [Greater Origin Enchant] once again but stopped.

What’s going on…?

Why is this feeling not going away…?

Is this another change from the [Greater Origin (Greater Chaos) Mastery]…?

If she were to describe what she was feeling, there was a persistent slight pain on her lower abdomen and lower back, and she also had a slight headache.

These pains started around 6:00 a.m.

My lower back…

I think it’s because I’ve been spending so much time sitting down…

I tried lying down but it still hurts…

[Heal] don’t even work…

She tried healing herself a couple of times and the pain would vanish. However, it would only last a few seconds before the pain returns.

The headache is the same…

I don’t think it’s because of the lack of water…

She palmed her lower stomach.

But this one is the strangest…

I already peed a few times to the point I can’t pee anymore…

She shook her head.

Whatever…

[Greater Origin Enchant].

Crack!

[Heal].

“Fuck this healing. I’m going to observe it in order to get to the bottom of what’s causing these pains.”

[Greater Origin Enchant].

[Halo].

She deactivated [Halo].

Wait…!

Could it be stress…?

Like overthinking…?

[Greater Origin Enchant].

[Halo].

Deactivate.

Nah…

Can’t be…

I’m not some wimp…

[Greater Origin Enchant].

[Halo].

Deactivate.

Yeah…

Like hell I’m going to get sick because of feelings…

[Greater Origin Enchant].

[Halo].

Deactivate.

That’s for weak and gay people shit…

[Greater Origin Enchant].

[Halo].

Deactivate.

And my father would literally kill me…

[Greater Origin Enchant].

[Halo].

Deactivate.

***

11:59 a.m.

Vivian deactivated her [Halo] and there was a dark expression on her face as she palmed her lower abdomen.

The feeling worsened…

The pain she felt on her lower abdomen and back and her headache increased a bit. However, that wasn’t her main concern. Her concern was that another discomfort was added.

And my underwear…

She pulled her underwear forward and saw some liquid.

Her eyes widened.

What the…?!

Vooom!

She turned into a blur as she grabbed a towel, wrapped it around her body and then appeared next to the door.

Fuck…!

I should’ve bought a bathrobe…!

Ka-cha!

Click.

Ku-chud.

She opened the door and closed it behind her before rushing to the toilet.

***

Ku-chud.

The moment Vivian entered a toilet and closed the door behind her, she immediately unwrapped the towel around her body and pulled down her underwear.

This can’t be…

Although her underwear was black, she could see the blue-colored jellow-like sticky liquids on the front.

She placed her underwear to the side and sat down on the toilet seat.

Wssshhh…

As she peed, she checked it and her already pale face became ghostly pale.

“Oh fuck… Menstruation…”
