Reborn: Apocalypse Ready. War Goddess by My Side novel Chapter 131

Steven turned and walked away

Fiona frowned. “If I see this again, I’ll still step in!”

Hearing the firm yet icy voice behind him, Steven smiled.

“Fine. Do what you want. I’ll still hit them.”

Finished

Fiona turned around and gave him a long look. It was the first time she had ever met someone like him.

Steven didn’t think much of it.

Since he hadn’t managed to force the mastermind out into the open, he put the matter aside for now.

They’d definitely show up again later.

And next time, it would probably be stronger Two–Sigil Divine Envoys. As long as they came, Steven was certain he could force the mastermind behind the scenes to reveal themselves.

Actually, Steven already had some suspicions. He just needed proof.

After returning to the dorm, he decided to absorb divine crystals and continue evolving.

The beast energy conversion would have to wait until tonight. Those three idiots would be back soon, and it wouldn’t be good if they interrupted me or noticed something strange…

The Wind–Fire Divine Sigil also needed to evolve. He couldn’t just give up on it, so he could only take it one step at a time.

He’d level up soon enough.

Compared to his beast–type Divine Sigil, the speed was painfully slow.

But compared to ordinary people, it was already incredibly fast.

For someone like Seamus and the others, it would take an entire night just to absorb

ohe

divine crystal.

Over the course of a year, after accounting for regular consumption, they could devote around 200 divine crystals purely toward evolution, which was enough to advance to the second sigil.

So taking about a year was considered normal.

Of course, some people always got lazy.

That was why the academy had established a one–year evaluation checkpoint. Honestly, it was also meant to weed out the vast majority of C–rank Awakened.

That was the cruel reality. The academy couldn’t afford to support everyone forever.

So. from that perspective, Steven’s speed was already more than ten times theirs.

But he still thought it was too slow.

Finished

Unfortunately, he could only keep moving forward step by step and evolve the Wind–Fire Divine Sigil to level 2 as soon as possible.

Closing his eyes, he began absorbing and evolving, drawing the power from the divine crystals into his Divine Sigil.

The process was both boring and time–consuming.

By the time the dorm door was pushed open, three hours had already passed. Seamus and the others were back.

“Steven! You were freaking awesome! You actually could fight Tyrant Rose on equal footing–you’re seriously our idol now!

“From now on, you’re the true god of our dorm!”

Seamus shouted excitedly, “Let’s see who still dares to bully us in the future!”

Luke and Chad were both grinning.

Γ

The three of them were stunned.

Seamus yelped dramatically, “And this is what you call ‘not close“?”

Steven went silent for a moment before deciding not to hide it from them anymore.

“I pursued her, but she rejected me. She didn’t like people whose Divine Sigil rank was lower than hers. But after seeing my level 5 combat rating, she probably wanted to be friends again. I turned her down.”

The three of them stared at him with wide eyes. Damn. So that was the story.

“Holy crap! You actually rejected-”

Before Seamus could finish speaking, Chad covered his mouth and shot him a look.

Seamus instantly understood.

Luke laughed. “Steven doesn’t need Lilliana! Steven, we support you! She’s nothing special.”

Chad also smiled. “It’s all in the past now. Don’t think too much about it. She’s just a pretty girl.”

Steven could tell they were trying to comfort him, so he smiled. “It’s fine. That’s all over now. I already have a girlfriend, and I don’t feel anything for her anymore.”

The three of them smiled and dropped the topic. After all, everybody had a past.

Right then, Steven received a message.

When he checked it, he found that it was from Frank.

“Steven, your hunting grounds access has been approved. You can now enter the beginner hunting grounds. Your permissions have been activated, so you can enter using your identity credentials alone.”

Steven was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Frank to actually pull it off.
