What happened after that meeting went by as if it is a blur.
Smaller talks were made in order to polish some of the terms, and some posturing were also attempted.
These went somewhat fruitful, as some kind of agreement had been reached at the end of the talks.
After reaching this point, the cultivators had to leave Alex and his allies as they went back to their base, most probably to report everything that just transpired here.
"…."
As she watched the departing silhouette of the cultivators, Professor Frances narrowed her eyes as she shook her head.
She then looked at Alex, who seemed to be slowly distancing himself away from Alina.
"Oi Alex, now that you have dealt with those goons, can you already say to us on what the hell has happened to you?" Professor Frances eagerly asked Alex as she blocked his path. "Don't tell me that you are going to keep this a secret too, just like what you did with Emperor Litch?"
"H-hey! I am not trying to keep this a secret!" Alex hastily replied to the professor as the latter saw Alina's glare at Alex turning suddenly chilly. "I wanted to deal with those cultivators first..."
"Well, now that you have dealt with them, it's time for you to talk about your experience earlier." Professor Frances said as she gave Alina a nod. "Because as you can see, your partner Alina is already dying to hear about your experience. Surely you won't deprive her of the truth, right?"
"…Okay, I will talk now." With two Alpha-like women ganging down on him, Alex was left with no choice but to comply to them.
His overbearing aura was gone as he gave Alina a complacent smile. "Okay, so when I obtained my two new powers, this is what happened…"
**************
A FEW MINUTES LATER.
"…and that is how I managed to survive that experience." Alex concluded his story with a proud expression on his face. "How is it? Isn't it somewhat intriguing?"
Alina, who had her arms crossed as she listened to Alex, let out a sigh as she said,
"Hmph, you are lucky that you managed to talk to your powers. It was through their help that you managed to survive. But what do you think might happened if you did not meet them? Will you still be alive right now?"
"Yes, what Alina is saying is right." Professor Frances thought to herself as she nodded her head. "If it were not for your 'talking powers', there is a high chance that you are already dead!"
"Ahaha Alina, do you even have to think about that? The most important thing that we should remember is the fact that I survived!" Alex replied as he let out an awkward laugh. "Come on Alina, there is no need for you to overthink! Here I am, fully alive in front of you! Do you even need to think about anything else?"
"…You will be sleeping outside the house tonight. That is your punishment for now." Alina said as she gave Alex a steely glare. "I don't care whether you survived or not. What I care the most is the fact that you placed yourself in danger again without even telling us that it could happen!"
"But Alina, I told it to you earlier just before I bought the powers!"
"But you did not tell us that it will be that bad!" Alina replied, as she shook her head angrily.
Alina's eyes, which had been furrowed earlier, started to tear up again, making Alex pause in his tracks awkwardly.
Before Alex could say something, Alina suddenly disappeared, as she used her space manipulation ability to go back to their base.
Alex, who saw the departing Alina, took a step forward in order to follow her.
He was however interrupted from moving by a certain someone.
"Don't do it Alex." Professor Frances said as she chopped Alex's shoulders. "Don't talk to Alina for now. Let her have her alone time. Don't you even have a concept of privacy?"
"Of course I have! But still-"
"Then. Don't. Bother. Her." Professor Frances said as she enunciated each word with force. "Trust me, it's better this way."
"…Well, since you, who is a girl, says that I should be doing this, then I think I should follow your advice." Under the professor's forceful gaze, the frantic Alex was left with no choice but to force himself to calm down.
"Good. If you were just this obedient before, then we could have done a lot of things in an easier way." Professor Frances said as she nodded her head.
"You talk as if everything is my fault already…"
"Okay! Now that we are done with your explanation part, I guess it is time for you to give me my Items too." Professor Frances said while clapping her hands. She then gave Alex an excited expression on her face as she thought to herself,
"Alex gave Queen Mother the Tome of Divine Strength, while he gave Alina the Pearl of Everlasting Void. Since I am now Alex's Companion, surely he will also give me something useful right?"
But contrary to her expectations, the next words that Alex said to her were somewhat off from what she had expected.
"Give you Items? Girl, you are not my Companion yet. How am I supposed to just give you something?" Alex replied, which made the Professor freeze on her tracks.
"Wait, I am not yet your Companion? How?" Professor Frances voiced out as she glared at Alex. "Didn't you 'buy' the rights to make me your Companion earlier? In that case, shouldn't I have been your Companion already?"
"Well, that should have been the case." Alex replied as he tilted his head. "The thing is, your transformation as my Companion was supposed to happen once I finish getting my powers and buying the other Items. But when it came to the point that you were about to be my Companion, I remembered something, which made me cancel the transaction…"
"…Why did you do that?"
"Huh? Of course the reason for that is obvious.' Alex said as he narrowed his eyes. "At the moment that I woke up, Alina told me that you and Queen Mother were intercepting the cultivators. When she said that, I realized that there is a high chance that you might transform into a Companion while you are talking with the cultivators. That is something which I cannot allow to happen…. After all, those cultivators might do something unexpected when they see your transformation. I cannot just allow that."
"…So you decided to cancel the Companion Transaction earlier in order to save me." Professor Frances drily said a she stared at Alex. "Okay, I understand your logic. What you did earlier was indeed right."
But that was earlier." Professor Frances added, as she gave Alex a crafty smile. "Right now, there is no more danger like that, so maybe…"
"Yeah, yeah, I get it. Now that we have chased away those people, it will be safe for you to become my Companion." Alex replied wearily as he raised his right hand. "Don't be so worried about this. I did not forget about you, ok?"
"…I am not excited. I was just clarifying things."
"Well, if that is what you think it is, then I will just accept it." Alex commented as he seemed to ignore Professor Frances' excuse. "Okay, let's stop dilly-dallying already. I shall make you my Companion now. Don't make any sudden moves, okay?"
"I get it. You don't need to remind me." Professor Frances said as she let out a sigh. "Just do what you are supposed to do already."
"Got it." Alex replied as the symbol on his forehead glowed again. The professor averted her gaze away from the symbol as she remembered her irritation against bright objects.
A few seconds later, and the professor found herself unable to open her eyes as she suddenly felt herself being surrounded by darkness.
This darkness gave the professor a foreboding feeling, which changed to panic as this darkness started to swallow her whole!
"!!!"
She tried to struggle against it, but her effort was futile.
She immediately lost consciousness as the darkness covered her, with her body turning slack as her mind shut down.
***********************
AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF TIME LATER
"Ngh…." A light groan came out of Professor Frances' mouth as she regained her consciousness.
As her mind started to pick up again, memories of what had happened to her earlier all came back rushing to her.
"!!!"
At the moment that her awareness has fully returned, Professor Frances' eyes immediately opened as she stood up quickly.
She looked around her warily as her body adapted a fighting stance.
She let out an aggressive posture as she released pheromones from her body that will make her look more intimidating.
"…."
To anyone that sees the professor right now, they can say that she is being overly aggressive, although the professor has the right reason to be like this.
After all, her internal clock just told her how long she was out.
With her internal clock optimized to be as accurate as a quantum clock, Professor Frances knew how long she was already out.
3 MONTHS, 1 WEEK, AND 5 DAYS
This was the time that Professor Frances spent being unconscious.
At the moment that she saw this, Professor Frances realized that something was already wrong.
After all, transforming into a Companion should have been a quick process, which will last for just a few minutes or even seconds of time. Alina and Queen Mother's experience had said this so.
But in Professor Frances' case, she did not just spend a few seconds or minutes in her transformation.
She actually spent 3 Months, 1 Week, and 5 Days on her transformation!
Even an idiot can see that something was wrong here!
However, this was not the only problem that Professor Frances had.
"Where the hell am I now…"
At the moment that she looked at her surroundings, Professor Frances realized more things.
One is that the place that she's in was not a place that she's familiar with.
Right now, all that Professor Frances could see around her were mountains of trash, which towered loftily above her.
The smell from all these trash made the professor gag, which was easy with her advanced senses.
"F**king s**t, this is not near our base!" The professor thought to herself as she gritted her teeth. "Where the hell is this?"
With just one look, Professor Frances knew that this place obviously was not their base, and also not the forest they were in.
In fact, Professor Frances can say with high certainty that this place is most likely a massive trash dumpsite! Yes, right now, the professor is in the middle of a dumpsite!
"F**king hell, why the hell am I here? Aren't we supposed to be doing our mission?" Professor Frances thought to herself as she gritted her teeth. "And where the f**k are those three?"
The realization of finding herself in a dumpsite did not make the professor that worried.
However, it was the second thing that she found out that made her worried.
After spending a few seconds of sensing her surroundings, Professor Frances found to her surprise that she could not sense any of her allies! She could not sense Alex, Alina, and Queen Mother nearby!
Their presences, which had been recorded by her internal sensors, were nowhere to be found near her!
It was as if they suddenly disappeared into some place that is far away!
"F**k this s**t! So I lost my consciousness for around 3 months, and then I find myself waking up among trash. And then I also discovered that my allies are not here with me? Oh motherf***kers, I did not expect this to happen!" Professor Frances muttered to herself as she clenched her fists. "F**king hell, I don't like this kind of joke!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
