Chasing Elysian

14. Training Class

Rosanna's P. O. V:

Lightly pulling my face away, I came to a realization of just how close we were. And it's getting way too abnormal how I'm affected by this. Yes, I'm a singleton who has only knowledge and no action but no, I'm not one to be easily fazed.

Must be the looks.

His hands wrapped steadily around my waist, my body leaning on him- pressing my chest on his.

My breasts were average C cups and they weren't too big. I could probably hug you in a distant way and you'd only feel two bumps but with the way I pressed myself on Kairos, I'm more than sure he felt it. And goodness, I was more aroused than embarrassed.

Our battle suits were thin and body hugging. His body feels so good...

Well, daym. Lookie here, Jael. Aren't you snuggling up to someone's bae and the very protagonist?

Noticing the presence of others, I bowed my head in shame and calmly backed away. The effect of the teleportation fading like it didn't exist. Luckily, the box I was holding didn't fall. Even if it did, I doubt the vials would break. The material used wouldn't allow that.

Kairos let his hands fall loose from around my body. And I felt engulfed with his scent... Was it a special type of cologne? It had the fragrance of wood and vanilla. The mixture wasn't a confusing or disgusting mix.

It was more like each scent had its own pace and they moved steadily and individually in a refreshing- what the f*ck am I thinking? Scents, really?

But I badly wanted to sniff him...

I could still feel the heat in those areas where he touched and the fact that a zoo recently opened in my stomach threw me off. It was, oddly pleasurable.

Well, he is that fine. I wouldn't be a singleton and sucker for beauty if I wasn't affected.

I stepped away and breathed a sigh when I noticed I wasn't the only one who felt dizzy and unstable.

Not the only disgraced fellow to be exact.

The ones who were coming and who came after were barely on their feet. And holding each other didn't do much...

I guess Kairos was that strong for being totally stable. Obviously.

A minute or so and everyone was here, stabilizing their body to stand firm. Some okay, the rest a bit shakey. I was stable by now.

The main characters had more grace and strength than us, country bumpkins. Naiyah gave me a weird look. Instincts though. Her face remained the same but womanly instinct told me otherwise. Or just the nerves...

Did she see that? No. She wasn't here. But that doesn't mean I didn't have bodily contact with Kairos- just like the way other students who were leaning on each other.

"We're miles away from central Astral- more specifically, north of Astral. In the town of Evergreen. This will be our primary training ground and the floors where you pour out your sweat, blood and will. Evergreen is home to the founder of Body Cultivation. And we raise a significant section of Naza's geniuses. On the third day of next month, you all will have an oath ceremony as Nazians- bound to serve your country for good."
