(Tom's PoV)
I didn't know when her wings had spread so wide and beautiful like that. We were always together but I had no idea how she could be so deadly yet beautiful like this. Sanji and I had been training like crazy, but we couldn't even catch up to her.
The way she summoned the army even got me startled. How much spiritual power did she exert to create this mystical yet grandiose entrance? Yet, she looked perfectly fine after that.
Siji had told us about how vast her power was, but to witness it with our own eyes… I thought I needed to double my effort in developing my power. Otherwise, instead of walking side by side by her and helping her through with all of these magical issues, I would end up being protected by her.
Hey, my ego as a man wouldn't allow that!
But, she was just too abnormal to be able to call a normal girl. There was no way I could compete with her in terms of abnormality. Therefore, I should just level up myself so that, at least, I could stand beside her and help her to go through all these obstacles together.
I sat down on my bed with my legs crossed. My back was straight and my eyes closed. I took a deep breath five times before I could finally enter my consciousness. As expected, Putra welcomed my arrival with his big eyes staring at me.
Ever since I had improved in my spiritual power, I could meet Putra in my consciousness. I didn't need to go where the Death Volcano was. Only after I consulted with Siji that I finally understood that he could even go out and help me when I had reached one or two levels higher than I was at this moment.
The first time I realized Putra was inside my consciousness was after I had understood the way of my spiritual power worked out. After that, we had been working together to combine our power. Even so, it was still not enough to compete with Jane.
At that time, Putra said that Jane's aura was really similar to his First Guardian's sworn sister. He didn't like that girl because she often bullied him. Whenever she came by, she would always bully him. Sometimes, she would beat him up if he cried too much, or when he was about to go berserk. His First Guardian would only tell her to stop and comforted him a bit by saying that his sister meant good by beating him up.
Until today, I didn't know what he meant by that.
Since she was so similar in aura with the woman, I could easily assume that the sworn sister he was talking about was indeed the First Master of White Army.
However, Jane was so different from the mischievous woman back then, he said. He liked Jane more than that woman to the point he idolized her.
Since he was inside my consciousness, he must have seen how Jane pulled that magnificent style of summoning entrance. Well, his clear and excited eyes were giving the answer obviously.
”What?” I asked him as I saw him following behind me with excitement painted all over his face.
”She is so cool!” Putra squealed in exhilaration. ”Tell me, how did she do that? It was my first time seeing someone summoned our kind as indolent as she was.”
”Apparently, I don't know the answer to your question.” I sighed. ”Let's train.” I sat down and started to meditate again.
However, Putra was acting as if he had just eaten lots of sugar that he jumped around in elation. I sighed and gave way to him while I was leaving my own consciousness. Since I couldn't train, might as well let Putra used this place.
So, I came out and decided to check on the house before we all went to our own bed and slept. As this villa was pretty big, we got our own separate room. Honestly, I wish I could hug her to sleep. I didn't like it when I had to be separated with her. Weeks in Satu Village were enough for me to hold back.
However, this time, I didn't think so.
The door to her room was locked when I tried to open it up at my first chance. Therefore, I went around continuing my inspection. After that, I planned to return to my bedroom, only to see Jane was standing in her bedroom door looking all flush and seductive.
She was clad in her bathroom robe but somehow the slight opening on her chest made her looked even more sensual. Not to mention the way her heated gaze was directed at me. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun with some strands of her hair framed her pretty face.
