Chapter 1415: Ruby''s New Home


    ?


    Master Felicia had appeared out of nowhere and definitely ended scaring Ruby quite a bit! But at the same time, she also addressed everything urately and then weed her, revealing she also wanted to recruit her as her disciple.


    Heh, that''s totally what I predicted!


    Yeah...


    "I-I... Hi," Ruby muttered, feeling awkward after master Felicia emerged from the shadows. "I-I''m really sorry for what I did before... I''m truly, really sorry!"


    She lowered her head even, showing as much respect as possible- wait, no she didn''t lower her head but put herself on the floor, kneeling down.


    I think this was a custom of the Oni tribe, they usually sat down like that on the floor when resting or eating, and by cing her forehead on the floor and asking for forgiveness, it was like... the most supreme way of asking for forgiveness.


    Still, it wasn''t right!


    "Oh, you''re truly from the Oni Tribe, their culture is quite something, among the most famous demons of the Demon King Continent," said Felicia. "You can stand up, Ruby. There''s no need to apologize so much. Once was just fine; I know you truly meant it and weren''t lying. I understand how you might have felt, if you had gone through difficult things through your childhood. I, for once, also had quite aplicated childhood... My life has been shaped by the cursed power I was born with, only in thesest hundreds of years was when I was finally able to grasp my destiny. Before that, I was always swept around by the dreams of other people... It is frustrating, right? To be so powerless, even more when you''re young, so full of dreams and potential."


    "I-I... yeah..." nodded Ruby, shocked by our master''s words.


    Then Felicia smiled gently, walking to her side and hugging her gently.


    Ruby didn''t try to step back but epted master''s hug.


    Her perfume is very sweet and rxing, so I bet she didn''t mind it.


    "There, there, it''s alright now," she said. "I won''t let other people manipte you as long as you''re my disciple, Ruby. So? Would you ept me as your master? In terms of master and disciple, and nothing else. I''ll be your new guardian; I''ll also offer you my home. The only thing you have to do for me is learn what I teach you. And then use that to perhaps, improve the world, even if a little bit."


    "M-Master?" Ruby blushed a bit. "Thank you... I would dly be your disciple, Witch of the Blue Mountain,dy Felicia!"


    "Heh, quite the smart girl you are," Felicia patted her head. "Now! Shall we have some lunch? An! Are you done yet?"


    "I''m not your personal chef, Felicia..." said my dad. "I''m only cooking for my daughter and her friends... and well, for you, but out of the niceness of my heart!"


    "A-Ahahah... R-Right, sorry about that, don''t get mad with me..." Felicia made a puppy face for some reason.


    Dad''s words weren''t even harsh, but she got a bit hurt, she''s weak against him.


    "And yes, Lunch is almost done," dad nodded. "Maybe in fifteen minutes."


    "T-That''s not too soon!" said Felicia. "A-Ah! Ahem! Well, if we''re here then... How about I show you your new room, Ruby?"


    "Really? I would be so grateful!" Ruby said happily.


    Walking upstairs, Felicia led us through the corridors until we reached the area where our rooms were, right at the side of my room there was one where there was a lot of her stuff stored.


    "Hmm, let''s clean this ce first."


    She whisked her fingers, quickly using Alchemy, specifically Geomancy, to move space itself and warp all things within her range towards her inventory ring.


    "Done!"


    We were left ncing in disbelief.


    "S-She can do that too?" Celeste wondered.


    "S-She just teleported everything away!" Celica gasped.


    "How did you do that, master?" Ruby wondered.


    "Hm? Alchemy," Felicia shrugged.


    "Alchemy?!"


    Ruby couldn''t believe it.


    I can''t me her for that!


    Master''s usage of "Alchemy" ispletely out of this world.


    But that''s also what has shown us that Alchemy can do much more than we ever imagined.


    It''s an incredible Magic, capable of evolving and transforming our own magic, skills, and even the surroundings.


    It''s the key to our growth, and it has already been shown so far... We must continue working hard to get even better at it!


    "Now, this ce is yours, Ruby," said master, finishing her preparations.


    She brought a bed, a lot of wooden furniture, expanded the room and made it a bit bigger, also added some mirrors and a nice window.


    She was able to easily manipte the structure of the house because it was a living golem that shaped itself as she ordered it.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    And I think she also used Alchemy too...


    "Anyways! Feel free to leave any luggage you brought with you," she said. "Also, did you bring something else?"


    "Something else... Well yes, with Sylphy''s help, I brought my smithy but... I guess it can''t be put here, right?" wondered Ruby.


    "That shouldn''t be hard," said master. "You''re a cksmith then, huh? Everyone here only gets an Alchemy Cauldron from me, but there''s a Smithy downstairs... Sylphy just uses her Spirits or the ones inside of her Dungeon though. But I guess a personal one for you would be better, given your blessing."


    "Really? Then how do we do this?" I asked.


    "Follow my lead," master smiled.


    Like that, I brought out the whole smithy from the dungeon and then, through master''s Alchemy and her moving house, the entire smithy was fused into the house, erged and improved, bing a second room adjacent to Ruby''s room.


    And it looked amazing! Master can really do some impressive things with Alchemy, and this amazing house she got too! It''s truly staggering.


    "It''s done," she said.


    "Wooaaah!" Ruby gasped, ncing around. "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! It''s amazing, it''s perfect!"


    Ruby was very happy, and that was the only thing that mattered anyways.


    After that, master moved to talk about something else.


    "Now that you''re my disciple, you should begin cultivating rapidly to catch up with these


    girls!" said master. "Maybe Sylphy can help you with her powers... Also you need familiars,


    preferably spirits. Don''t you have any?"


    "N-No..." sighed Ruby.


    "A lot to do, huh! Maybe I can mix your growth with my tests," she said. "Interesting! For now, let''s go eat, I''m starving."
