Chapter 79: Are we here for tea or flirts?

-It does look like it- Damon took a peek at the letter

-They grow up so fast- Diana sighs

-Why are you acting like mom?-

"I'm not letting you go on something like that with an unknown woman" Professor Emma said

"Yeah, you can't even lie, she just introduced herself, that meant you don't even know she is" Professor Steel added

"Well I do technically know who she is, she's with Urie Chester"

"That's all the more reasons for you not to go" Professor Steel retorted "I'm calling the headmaster"

"I do not think that is a great idea" Damon said "From what I can observe, she is much stronger than me and Aenon combined, none of us will stand a chance, if we were to attack her or make her feel threatened, she'll easily wipe us out"

"If a warning like that comes from a dragon, means that it's right, but DAMN IT" Professor Steel cursed "Fine, we'll compromise, we'll at least have some agents to spy and listen in to the conversation just to make sure"

"That's fine by me" I shrugged "Well it seems like we got delayed, I'm continuing with our schedule for today, Eleanor?"

"Yeah I'm ready" she answered

Damon turned into his original form and I warped her on and do the regular procedure.

"Make sure to hold on tight"

"You're not really going to meet that...woman would you?" She asked quietly

"I mean what choice do I have? She already knows where I live, if I pissed her off, I'll be good as dead"

"Fine" she pouted

We then trained the wyverns for the day, and switched Eleanor to Lucas in the afternoon and our day ended in the evening.

"These wyverns should listen to you now, I mean they even listened to my commands" Lucas said "So hey, are you really going to go meet that pale woman? No one would call you a coward if you don't"

"Well think about it, what choice do I have?"

"That's a good point, as pale as she is, she's pretty hot" Lucas smiled

-We found another idiot- Dabria noted

*****

I turned plot armor into a black hoodie, wearing it over a plain white T-shirt, and used string magic to make denim pants, white socks and black sneakers

-You dress like what you dress in your previous world- Diana commented

-Well it's more comfortable-

-You would stick out like a sore thumb- Siege said

-We're already going to be watched so I don't think that matters and besides my hair already sticks out, so it's not like it would help-

-That's fair, 'Presence' will only make you hard to sense, but it won't stop them from looking at you- Ace replied

"What clothes are you even wearing?" Mom asked

"It's comfortable, it'll help me move quicker in case I need to run"

"You have a strange sense of fashion kid" Dad says "But really, be careful, if you just FEEL like you're in danger, then run, Damon, make sure to protect him alright"

"Yes sir" Damon nodded

*****

We then arrived at the café, unlike our previous encounter, she isn't as pale.

"Strange choice of fashion, but I like it" Alice smiled as me and Damon took a seat

"Thank you"

She then ordered tea and cakes, while I ordered a hot chocolate and pastries

She then took a sip

"This place has the best teas, Artia truly deserve the name of the kingdom of trades, it's hard to find teas as good as this" she said as she took another sip

"So what are you?"

"Shouldn't it be who are you? I'm Alice, a member of the seekers of salvation" she smiled

"No I phrased that how it should be, Urie was a vampire, so what about you?"

She giggled in response

"You have great observation skills" she complimented "We were right about you, if you must know, I'm a succubus"

"Are there humans among the top ranks?" I asked sipping my hot chocolate

"No, we do not, at least, not yet anyways"

"Are they all corrupted like you?"

"Among the top ranks, yes" she smiled "Those listeners should be getting a lot of information from our small talk just now"

"You found out about them quicker than we thought"

"Do you have rare beasts on your side?" Damon asked

"Yes, quite a few, dragons, phoenixes, leviathan...etc."

"A few more questions, how strong are the upper ranks? and are you and Urie among them?"

"Great questions" she clapped "We are indeed among the upper rank, in the top 13 if I might add, but there are many others similar in power, to be ranked like us, we have to at least have the power or forces under them strong enough to rival a continent"

"Cool, now it's your turn, you may now ask us questions"

"When did you meet your bonds?" she asked

"Ace during my first hunt, Siege after my first fight, Diana on my way to the first day of school and Damon, during my trip in the northern mountains"

"We bonded only several days after we met, must have been fate" Damon smiled

-I'm covering for Diana for now-

-Thank you, I'm also using 'Presence' to lower my presence just in case- Diana responded

"How wonderful, it truly must have been fate, oh and I can tell from your eyes, you're wondering why I'm not as pale as before right?"

I nodded

"Well whenever I don't feed for a long time, I turn pale, unlike most of my kind, I can stay away from my food source for a very long time"

"And you food source is?"

"Lust, unlike the myth, we do not need to have intercourse with men, though some does do it since they enjoy it"

She then tried to use charm towards me, it then spread to everyone in the area, both males and females.

-She's trying to use charm, but if it won't work for me or my bonds, cuz my charm level is way higher-

-You are very useful to have around- Ace replied

-You can either be a bait or a repellent- Dabria agreed

She then turned it off after she saw me sipping on my hot chocolate like nothing happened

"Wow...I must say, you impress me more and more, the more I get to know you" she smiled seductively

"If you're trying to hit on me, it won't work that easy you know, your hot looks would only get you so far"

-And that's one of his worst points- Dabria commented

She then got up and put her face near mine while lifting my chin while giving me a seductive look, Damon tensed up preparing for the worst

"Are you perhaps into older woman? I am a bit old by human standards, do you want to go with me to somewhere more...private?" she whispered the last word

"That was really tempting, but here's my real question, we're not here just to flirt or drink tea is it? What's your real objective?"

"It's rare to see someone reject my offer, we can perhaps wait till you're older if you like" she sat down "We have an offer for you, we want you to join us"

"So is everyone over there as attractive as you, because I'm considering it"

"Why don't you accept to find out?"
