Apartment,
Ayato's Room.
[Origin +1001]
[Origin +1003]
[Origin +1006]
Ayato listened to Athena's explanations, watching the continuously accumulating Origin Points, a smile appearing on his lips.
'As expected of the Goddess of Wisdom!'
'Even just some casually spoken knowledge yielded a considerable amount of Origin Points.'
While listening, Ayato didn't remain idle. He began adding points without hesitation.
With the gains from the Geass World, plus Athena as a living library, his strength could advance even further.
For a time,
The continuously rising Origin Points disappeared like the tide.
[Mori Ayato]
[Class: Origin Magician]
[Magic: Origin Lightning Magic LV90 (+)]
[Origin: 312 points]
Looking at the text, Ayato's eyes flickered.
Now, leveling up Origin Magic was extremely difficult at each stage.
But each improvement represented tremendous progress in his strength.
Now, he himself didn't even know how strong he was.
Probably, if he faced Athena again, he could defeat her without needing to use Origin Magic.
"How strange, my husband. I feel like you've become much stronger all of a sudden?"
Athena blinked, a flicker of doubt in her eyes.
"None of that matters. Do you have other knowledge?"
Ayato smiled. "Continue. I'm very interested."
"I don't remember you being such an insensitive man."
Athena smiled knowingly. "Or is your thirst for knowledge greater than your desire for the goddess herself?"
Ayato's eyes flickered. He said playfully, "Then what do you want?"
"I am your wife, you know."
Ayato: "..."
'This Athena... was so brave?'
To be honest, it was beyond his expectations.
He suddenly stood up and leaned right in front of Athena. "So you're saying you want me to fulfill my duties?"
"Ah!"
Athena jumped up like a frightened rabbit.
Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes full of shyness and tension.
What can she say?
Although she wanted to tease Ayato, she was the pure goddess. She had never experienced anything like this.
All along,
She hadn't even touched a man's hand.
That was why she was so flustered.
"Haha, it seems your bark is worse than your bite."
Ayato looked at Athena with amusement. "Alright, continue explaining the knowledge."
"And don't pretend you know everything from now on."
"What did you say?"
Athena was a bit gritted her teeth.
'Dammit, losing in strength was one thing,'
'But in terms of knowledge, as the Goddess of Wisdom, how could I be looked down upon?'
'Such... things, which even ordinary people could do, could they stump me, Athena?'
Thinking this, mustering courage from somewhere, Athena directly collided with Ayato.
"..."
Ayato was caught off guard and also stumbled.
'What was happening?'
'Was she this fierce?'
'Or had she been provoked by my words?'
'But this kind of development wasn't bad either.'
However, after a moment, Ayato realized that Athena was completely at a loss, with no further movement.
"It seems you need my help."
Ayato suddenly rose, one arm wrapping around Athena's waist.
"I... I'd better continue explaining the knowledge to you."
"Okay, then continue."
"Mmm....."
"By the way, Athena, do you know anything about Longinus?"
"I don't know... how... how would I know... about things created by... native gods..."
…
Hidden Geniuses' Little Classroom.
Xenovia, who had been enthusiastically teaching Asia, had her ears twitching, then fell silent.
Opposite her,
Asia's body stiffened, nearly bursting into tears.
'Why?'
'Why was I falling behind again?'
'You are Athena, couldn't you have waited even one day?'
"Asia, don't worry. This should just be an accident."
Irina patted Asia's shoulder and comforted her. "There's still a chance."
"Th-That's right. I won't give up." Asia clenched her little fist.
Outside the wall,
Liliana quietly put away her little notebook.
'My King truly caused a lot of trouble.'
'Poor Asia.'
'But who knew Athena would be so brave?'
Thinking this, Erica's words came back to her: "If you don't hurry, you'll be overtaken by a lot of newcomers."
'Yes.'
'Asia had been preparing for this for so long.'
'I should also take action.'
Before Liliana knew it, she was vaguely looking forward to it.
Countless scenes from novels appeared in her mind, making her body burn.
On the other side,
Gabriel tossed and turned.
'Master was truly great.'
'Even that Athena...'
Thinking this, her heartbeat grew even faster.
She wanted to block her hearing, but unconsciously found herself listening carefully.
Besides Athena's voice,
The voices of Xenovia and the others were also clearly audible.
'The various servants were all working very hard, weren't they?'
'Would I just stand still forever?'
…
The next day,
Early morning.
Although he had listened to Athena explain supernatural knowledge all night, Ayato was full of energy.
Acquiring knowledge meant acquiring strength.
How could he possibly be tired?
[Origin +1002]
[Origin +1005]
[Origin +1006]
Looking at the text, Ayato felt some regret.
'What a shame!'
'Athena had been too tired last night. The Origin Points gained were still limited.'
But he felt it didn't matter.
After all, Athena was already his.
He could acquire knowledge whenever he wanted.
Summoning the virtual panel, Ayato continued adding points.
But after exhausting all his Origin Points, he was still a fair way from another level up.
Just then, Ayato's eyes flickered.
'Another new world?'
After sensing for a moment, a smile appeared on Ayato's lips.
"I wonder what world it is. I'm looking forward to it..."
