chapter 85: thera's perspective she pushed open the gates and got her first view of her home city in a week. it would be an emotional moment if ben hadn’t left the other two challengers by her side while he did his own thing. the two were still unconscious, with glob looking beaten half to death. the two succubi who stood guard at the gates looked at them in surprise, quickly running off to get help, while unexpectedly her mother was there, waiting to greet her. “how did you know i would be out?” thera asked her, surprised to get to see her mother so soon. “i asked anailias apostle if it would be possible to inform me when you were coming out, and thankfully our god is agreeable. it would have been nice to get some warning about the other two though.” pelenia bent down and placed a hand on both karly and glob, activating her life magic to do what she could while they waited for help to arrive. much like sonya, she had an affinity for the magic but hadn’t taken the time to raise its level beyond what she had expected to need in the past, unlike her sister who decided to use it in her career. “ben’s pretty sure they decided to fight each other when their duplicates showed up, glob got his butt kicked and then there was nobody to try and wake karly up when glob’s copy disappeared.” “a reasonable conclusion, and what about ben?” the queen broached. “i was informed you both successfully made it through, but he doesn’t seem to be around.” pelenia also wanted to ask how they even managed to come across glob and karly. the trial was set up in a way that any groups should always be guided away from one another, the fact they had met at all shouldn't have occurred. it wasn’t immediately important though and pelenia could get the details later, the covenant between god and trial taker not preventing any two who had already taken the trial from discussing it. as for ben, thera was more exasperated than anything. “he said he wanted to take the chance to look at the enchantments placed on the inside of the wall while he could so he’ll be out in a day when he’s gotten everything he can out of them.” the queen couldn’t help it, in all of her years she’d never heard of a trial taker doing such a thing and she burst into laughter. “you really have found yourself an interesting friend.” “he’s a character. anyway mother, i completed the trial and even leveled up my earth magic and completed the apprentice mage job. i assume you have no issue with supporting me while i continue to try and improve my magic?” “nope, you passed with flying colours.” “so what was even the point of all this?” after being stuck in her dream, remembering her childhood, thera was left thinking about her mom. she was a pain. she was always doing something annoying when she wanted to have her fun, and could be overly serious about various things, and would try and get people to make the choices she thought was right, but even for that last one, getting thera to take a trial seemed pretty extreme. surprising her though, her mother gave her what seemed to be an honest answer. “well my main goal was for you to get the mid-trial reward, i put your odds at having to escape after that at around 50/50, but if you want to insist on continuing to be a mage i wanted you to have whatever little advantage you could.” “i’m sorry, i don’t know what you’re talking about.” queen of manamusicianprofessional dancerbardearth magedarkness mage -charm specialized jobs: earth mage (lv0) previous jobs: beginner dancer, dancer, apprentice mage attributes: vitality: 1001vitality recovery rate: 10/hrmana: 255,624mana recovery rate: 30/minstrength: 101agility: 314stamina: 254intelligence: 228 affinities: light: 4life: 22fire: 11water: 14air: 12earth: 103death: 3dark: 43space: 2time: 1 resistances: light: 5life: 9fire: 11water: 16air: 12earth: 35death: 13dark: 42space: 7time: 8 blessed skills: earth magic lv3charm magic lv1 passive skills: world speak+coordination lv3medical knowledge lv0bind active skills: calculate lv1dance lv4string instrument lv3woodwind instrument lv2cleaning lv1staff user lv0meditation lv2speed reading lv2 blessings anailias blessing trials trial of anailia and tolona thera looked at her status and couldn’t help but smile. things were looking up.
