The Bitch In The Fantasy World

Awakening Ceremony (3)

Seeing Marie come back to the room with a bucket of hot water and a damped cloth, Criselle decided to get something else.

"I'll get the curtains," she said and went over to the side to get the mobile partition.

Marie, who was carrying a bucket of hot water and damped cloth, nodded and went over to Vivian.

"Sister Vivian, I'll get your things after this. Please remove your clothes," she said and reached out for her clothes.

Before the ceremony started, Vivian removed her cloak, necklace and gloves in case they might get dirty. But they forgot to bring it with them upon coming here. Usually, when the members train on the Training Grounds, they don't wear their cloaks and necklaces.

"Wait!" Vivian said and held out a hand. "What are you doing?"

"To wash you."

Vivian blinked a few times.

Is this common behavior for women or just this place...?

These women aren't lesbians, right...?

She studied Marie and Criselle's faces.

Marie was in her late teens and an extremely gorgeous long-haired brunette that if Vivian was back in her original world, she would no doubt be a high-fashion model. She had the face -- foxy eyes, high cheekbones, full lips and flawless white skin --, the body, the height which was about 6ft, the bone structure and the elegance. And compared to Vivian, the only part where Vivian won was the bust size.

As for Criselle, she was in her early 30s with short blonde hair and was average by all measures. And when compared to Vivian, the only 2 things she could defeat her were her height which was around 5'5 and her friendly face.

"It's okay, I can wash myself and I prefer to wash myself inside a bathroom," Vivian said and tried to get up.

Criselle finally arrived with the mobile partition.

"Sister, you don't need to remove all of your clothes, just your armor, shirt and pants will do."

"But you guys already did so much for me. I don't want to take advantage of it anymore."

As a man in her previous world, Vivian wasn't used to being helped or assisted by strangers.

Criselle sat down next to her on the bed.

"I'll be honest with you, sister. I don't know if you're aware of this but although most people in the Temple would want to help each other because we're all proud of being part of this Temple, another reason why we're adamant in helping one another is because of Class Magic."

"Class Magic?"

"Do you know what's the common requisite in learning the Class Magic of Priests?"

Vivian recalled what Joshua told her.

"I only know what Brother Joshua told me in getting [Greater Heal]."

"Let me guess, he told you it is to ease the suffering of others, right?"

"Yes."

"That is the truth. And the more you help people, the faster you will learn Class Magic."

"So you're only helping me because you want to learn Class Magic?"

A sweet smile appeared on Criselle and Marie's face.

"That's part of it," said Criselle. "But another part is that most Priests are naturally inclined to help others. Have you ever heard about that choosing a Class should be based on a person's personality?"
