11 Dormitories & An Array (2/2)
Nora and the other girls settled rather quickly into the dorm. The other five girls had been avoiding Nora, probably due to Emilee's influence, but it didn't really bother Nora as she thought it would be rather annoying to have to deal with shenanigans of so many little children.
Nora had claimed the furthest bed from the door and the girls rather humorously fought to see who would be the one who had to claim the bed beside Nora.
Nora rather enjoying the display decided that although she still didn't have all the information she desired about how the empire felt about Demons, she would need to increase her strength. The perverse smile on the Headmaster's face had rather deeply disturbed Nora. With her current strength, she could guarantee that no matter how good she was in combat she would be completely outclassed by someone with a mana quantity at the Soul Completion Realm.
Since it was still early in the day, Nora simply waited for the five girls to leave the dorm. Nora reading their desire to become 'friends' Emilee. Once they left, Nora with a few simple movements, unsealed her affinities. The array she created was completely rushed and had innumerable flaws, and in turn, it had felt rather uncomfortable to have a portion of herself sealed under the messy array.
Nora realized that with the presence of other girls in the dorm she may not be able to cultivate at night due to them potentially realizing the weird and unworldly methods she used for cultivation. With that in mind, Nora began to inscribe an intricate array on the bottom of the bed, hidden from prying eyes.
The array covered the entirety of the beds bottom surface. Inscribed were over a hundred languages in a hundred diagrams. Several Mana collection diagrams were strewn into the mix with countless other indecipherable diagrams. Nora was not willing to risk being discovered with perverse and lecherous eyes hunting her. In breakneck speed, Nora finished the array. The system recognizing its perfection let out a *Ding*

Seeing the new title, Nora was rather content but noticing the skill only reaching level 8 slightly bugged her. Although this array wasn't near her limit, it was extremely complex. Something very few beings could ever create. Using the system's evaluation Nora estimated that her 'Array Mastery' probably truly lied around level 9. Still lacking perfection.
Disgruntled Nora stepped back and activated the array. A perfect illusion of her appeared within the room. Seemingly minding its own business. Nora walked towards her doppelganger and tested the array by applying some force onto the illusion. Once, Nora felt applied the force and felt resistance she once again felt satisfied. She hadn't been sure if the array would act the same way with mana but everything appeared to be working fine.
Content with the array, Nora hopped on top of her bed and sat in a lotus position before beginning to cultivate.
