Chapter 502: Peters Weirdness (2/2)

What shocked Peter was the learning speed of this Junior Brother of his. Raven was like a dry sponge, absorbing - no, siphoning knowledge at a mind-boggling speed. It only took him five tries before he was able to reach the similar level of White Gloves, seven tries to keep it stable while moving and ten tries before he could manage have it on in a subconscious level.

For Peter, it took him at least three days to reach the same thing and he received praises due to him being a 'natural' at this. However, it was a clear as the day that Raven is only an entirely different platform as he was.

He didn't even need a whole hour to do all of this. Nevertheless, Peter never heard and kind of boasting or pride from Raven at all. Instead, Raven had him teach the second plume in the book which is called 'Torch'.

'Torch' is achieve by concentrating a dense amount of Cleansing Flame into one's fingers, resulting into super concentrated fire which can pierce through flesh and directly sever the chains that are threatening to bind someone's consciousness to the Devil's Emperor.

Peter relented and taught him how to do it. Once again, he got to witness the insane learning speed and adaptability of this Junior Brother of his.

Raven took a collective amount of fifty tries before mastering the second plume, which consumed the remaining three hours of Peter's time with him. At some point, Raven was even able to combine the first two plumes, which something that Peter was planning to teach him after mastering all nine but clearly no longer needed.

Peter was sweating at the sight of this, it even alarmed Raven which prompted him to ask he's okay. Peter could only smile wryly and sigh in praise. Raven's arrival at this chapel - the sect even, was seriously a blessing. Not only because he became a seed bearer but also he's extremely talented to boot. He's an overall asset. In fact, Peter felt a little stoked at some point since he might as well be witnessing another birth of a future Fire Keeper - heck, a War God even.

If this daydream of his was realized, this might as well be the biggest bragging right he'll even possess. Heck, it even goes beyond that! He might as well consider this as an achievement!

'Maybe, just maybe…' Peter thought to himself, 'If I raise this kid well and he becomes a Fire Keeper or a War God, maybe Monica will be extremely thankful to me that she'll seriously think about marrying me.'

He had to admit, this was a rather tempting idea. Very unlikely to happen, yes. But not entirely impossible, right? What can he say? A man can dream. Even if Monica seems to be rather dismissive of his advances, she's not entirely or politely asking him to 'Fuck off'. In a sense, she was even testing him. But it would seem that he has to go through more before she opens up her heart for him.

'Plus, from what I saw earlier. It would seem that Monica is rather fond of him.' Peter thought to himself once again, 'If I genuinely helped him and make him thankful to me, then I might be able to use him as my wingman! Sheeeeeeet~, that's not a bad idea actually…'

'Ugh, who am I kidding really?' Peter thought dejectedly. 'Geez, I'm badly smitten huh? I really am hopeless. I can't believe I'm willing to take advantage of the kid just to get what I want. For all I know, she might be fond of him, not because he's a seed bearer, but because he reminds her of her little brother.'

'If she knows what I'm thinking right now, she will most definitely abhor me. And for the love of god, I'd rather die than letting that happen.'

'Oh, my sweet, beautiful, gorgeous, lovely, iconic, voluptuous, smoking sexy hot, buttercup, sweetheart, bootylicious, fragrant, honey, sugar, and all of the nicest things in the world - Monica! Why don't just jump into my arms and accept my overwhelming, overflowing, undying, loyal, honest, determined, devoted and synonymous…love for you? Don't you know I - '

”…ior Brother?”

”Hey! Senior Brother?”

”Earth to Senior Brother Peter! Hello!?”

”Damn it kid, I hear you! What do you want?”

”Nothing much, just letting you know that you're acting very weird. You know, feeling yourself and stuff, closing your eyes and puckering your lips, it's gross honestly. Even Senior Sister Monica think so too.”

”HA!!?”
