Chapter 34: Boobs Rule the World
"I don't think badly of you at all."
"Thanks..."
"Can you tell me a bit about yourself? What would you like to do with your life if you could do whatever you wanted?" Kaiden asked.
"Hmm... I used to want to become an actress as a kid, but ever since the mana apocalypse hit, I'd always wanted to become a strong awakened who could do whatever she felt was right."
"Oh. Your dreams are pretty similar to mine."
"Who's your favorite awakened? Mine is Scarlet."
"Ruler of the Flames, huh?" Kaiden commented, instantly knowing which super celebrity she was talking about.
"Yeah. She is the most badass woman I've ever seen. Scarlet is everything I ever wanted to be..." Nyx revealed wistfully.
The government kept Scarlet's exact class and its details a secret from the populace, but she was one of the strongest awakened in the United States. She had control over flames, bending the rules of the universe to her will when it came to flame manipulation. Kaiden had seen many videos of her heroics as she burned thousands of crazy strong monsters to a crisp in a matter of mere seconds or how she shot through the air like a falling star when she had to urgently be somewhere.
People like Scarlet were one (wo)man armies who could subjugate entire lesser nations by themselves should they wish to. Mighty existences like her were idolized by many commoners and awakened alike, and since Scarlet had a pristine reputation even before her awakening, a lot of girls looked up to her, while most boys wanted to be inside her. It turned out Nyx was one of those girls who greatly admired her.
