Chapter 84: I believe in you *
•••
-Arlette’s Office-
It was after school.
Mage-Knight Training class was over a good while ago and while every other student was heading off to their dormitories or maybe the library to catch up on homework, Caius was lying on the sofa on top of Arlette, doing some learning himself. Or at least, she was trying to teach him and he was distracting her with his mouth sucking on her soft neck.
"Ngh... Devotion can be very important—Mmm—when using Dark Magic. It and Light Magic, are undoubtedly the most spiritual elements—Ahhnnn—t-to ever exist."
Yesterday, when Caius came to Arlette’s office, she revealed that she felt she was spoiling him by simply giving him spells.
"You’ve only given me two spells," Caius had pointed out, not ungrateful, of course. Just putting into context how much he had been ’spoiled’.
"Be that as it may," Arlette said, "You can’t truly understand Dark Magic or the spells I give and you cast, unless you truly understand the Divinity that governs the element."
"The thing is though, I already know about it," Caius had said.
"Oh really?" Arlette had then asked in a doubtful tone before she fired out question after question and he just stared at her unable to answer.
Caius did know that there was a Divine force that governed both Light and Dark Magic in this world, but the narrative of [To Kill A Demon Lord...] had glossed over the details in favor of storytelling.
He couldn’t, for the life of him, give a detailed response to the questions Delia asked. In fact, he realized he knew more about the Divinity of Light Magic than he did about Dark Magic.
