25 Chapter 25 Not A Fairy (2/2)

He blushed liked a small child, even though he was a grown man, when he realized she must have heard him. Looking around, he waved at the surrounding forest.

”Don't you think this would be the kind of place a mortal could meet a fairy?”

”Ha!” she laughed out loud, and a tip of fang flashed.

”I am no fairy,” she said in a deep husky voice.

His breath caught in his chest at the beauty of her. Between her smile and her voice, he couldn't tell which was s.e.xier.

With a start, Joseph woke up. What was that?

He saw her face and yet it was a memory from one of his past lives. This was the first time he had seen a face clearly. His heart was racing.

This was way better than all the television shows that he had remembered that talked about how to make random things, some of which made no sense in this world, but obviously seemed like a good enough idea to warrant time on the air. After all, who needed to know how to make a pencil?

With a groan he realized this meant his skill of walking in on naked women was also brought over from a previous life. It didn't show up on his status though, so he felt a little cheated. If he was going to get such a skill, it should at least show up with the others.

Rubbing his face, he decided he wasn't completely awake yet. Getting up quietly so as not to wake Stella, he started to perform two rounds of his sword forms as a wake-up exercise. It helped him get into the right frame of mind for practicing his jet type magic, like flame blade. It was wielded like a sword, and he found moving his body helped with it. While he wasn't sure what actions he needed to take to practice gaze yet, he had a feeling he would need eye drops by the end.

The image of her face, her long wet hair not hiding the tips of her ears, and those ruby red eyes, kept distracting him. When Stella got up, she kept looking at him confused, as if she wasn't sure what was wrong. There was no way he could explain to her that the girl in his dream was so beautiful, it kept distracting him. Especially after he had finally gotten her over the issue with him walking in on her.
