470 Athena the 1s (2/2)
”Oh no, it's quite alright actually.” Raven waved his hand and showed a kind smile. ”I am glad to know more about the sect. Besides, you're not wrong anyway. But how did you know?”
”Oh that?” The woman chuckled, causing Raven to raise a brow. ”It's because of your hair.”
”My hair?”
”Yes.” The woman nodded, ”I've been here for a long time, and I've never seen anyone with a hair color such as yours. That's how I knew.”
”Oh I see.” Raven nodded, ”Right, my name is Raven. Greetings Senior Apprentice Sister.”
”Oh dear look at me! I haven't even introduced myself yet.” The woman let out a vibrant chuckle, ”My name is Erica. Nice to meet you Junior Apprentice Brother.”
The two shook hands for a brief moment, Raven also took this time to briefly inspect her.
Erica is a beautiful woman. She's about five foot, seven inches tall. She had a long black hair that reached her buttocks, she's fair and has a curvaceous figure. She wore a pair of glasses and was holding several books on her bosom.
”Right, Junior Apprentice Brother Raven. What brings you here?” Erica asked after they shook hands.
”Oh, I was actually about to claim something.” He said.
Erica seems to be confused about his words, thus she asked: ”Claim what?”
Raven hesitated before eventually saying: ”Uh well, during the recruitment, a Treasure Spirit planted an orb inside of me. It said that I should claim it when I arrive here. Am I the right place?”
”Aha!” Erica exclaimed, startling not only Raven but also some strangers nearby. She seems to have noticed this, causing her to blush and showed an embarrassed expression. ”Sorry about that.”
”I-I don't mind.” Raven smiled wryly.
”Anyway…” Erica cleared her throat and adjusted her glasses. ”It turns out that it was you, what a coincidence really! We were informed by Elder Libro about you. Come, I'll help you with the exchange.”
”Right, okay.” Raven replied uncertainly as followed Erica.
She noticed his uncertainty, causing her to be reminded of something.
”Don't worry Junior Brother, I am working here. You won't be in trouble. Actually, if you want we can keep this matter private.”
Hearing this caused Raven to feel relieved as he replied: ”Thanks for your help, Senior Sister.”
Raven didn't want her to feel responsible for him, he could've handled it alone. But since Erica revealed that she's working here and that she'll keep this matter private, then his uncertainty was dissolved. On another note, the Elder Libro that she talked about, must be what the treasure spirit is called.
The two followed a certain path until they arrive an empty room. Erica fumbled with some inscriptions here and there while Raven was looking around him.
After a while, he heard Erica stopped what she's doing. He looked at her and heard her say:
”Alright Junior Brother, please take of your clothes.”
”Excuse me!?”
