Chapter 756
“Nati, Xilly, hey!” Ben called out as he arrived, ignoring the blatant discomfort of the two while he smiled at them both broadly. “It’s been a while.”
“It has, Ben,” Nati told him charitably, not making direct eye contact while Xilly kept her silence. “My grandfather said you wanted us so we could have another lesson?”
“Well, I was in the area and figured it would be good to get out of the way, but I see you both haven’t been slacking. Both of you got to the eighth level of connect since I’d last seen you, huh? Good work.”
“Ah, we only managed it recently.”
“Well, today I’m making sure you both get to the ninth so make this easy for me and try not to struggle, it will be over before you know it.”
Not giving either a chance to say more, he reached out and pulled both into his minds while taking over their bodies, making it so they’d walk with him as he carried out his main purpose of getting there instead of letting the two collapse to the ground. They still needed to be in his range after all so he didn’t want the connection breaking and doing that was easier than dragging them along.
With how fast I can think now though combined with the way my minds have grown since I’d last seen them I’ll probably get them their ninth level before I’m done here. Oh, what the heck, if they get it before I leave the city I’ll keep going to try and bring them closer to awakening it. Having a couple of other awakened enchanters on the planet get access to all of the other awakened skills in the world would only be a good thing.
Their fate sealed by the casual thought, he began practicing with them and dealt with the unfortunately strong reactions from them seeing the change in his own skills since they’d last met, while in the real world he let himself inside of the building the two women had been waiting in front of, going back to the research institute that had been set up to study the various magic materials he’d both created and discovered.
Rench, Nare’s oracle, was already waiting for him as he walked in, eyeing Nati for only a moment until Nare presumably filled her in on what was happening, letting her focus her attention back on him.
