I will strive beyond this cursed bloodline!

Chapter 24: Do we have to come here? Can we do it another day?

The soulscape is supposed to be a sacred place for Magical Girls.

The fount of their power and the last bastion of their soul.

The place where they hold all the memories that make their core as magical warriors, be it for justice and love... Or revenge and hate.

For Elizabeth?

It held another meaning, for her soulscape was a strange place.

A place of wonders? Yes, it was a marvelous place full of incredible sights.

A bastion for her soul? Perhaps, if nothing else she doubted anyone would be able to violate the defenses in her soulscape. Be it the ones that her Mother had installed or the ones that she could identify with her fledging knowledge of magic.

But a core for justice? Hardly.

A core for Love? Maybe love for books, so many books...

Revenge or Hatred? Definitely no.

Even so, she found it funny how little control she had over her own Soulscape, case in point this moment right now.

"I'm sorry Miss, but Alexa told us to send you to the other wing. Since you would be working mostly on that side of things." She was arguing with the receptionist since the door to the Library was closed.

How was that even that possible?

She had read that high mastery of your soulscape could allow you to teleport anywhere within it.

But she wasn't near that level yet. Usually, a big mastery of soulscape meant that your soulscape was big. But she couldn't use that as a measure...

Hers was big from the start after all.

"But I'm working on a skill from the magic side!" Said the blonde girl exasperated at the receptionist.

Why was there even one now?

There wasn't one before!

"But it is a skill, isn't it?" Said the receptionist.

...Crap.

"It's okay Miss. I'm sure the [Head Scientist] will be polite..." Added the receptionist.

The who?

She must have seen something on her face since she added "The blonde asshole?" she asked with a smirk.

Oh, that blonde asshole...

If he was a [Head Scienctist] couldn't he present himself as such instead of using weird garbled words?

"Fine..." said downcasted the blonde girl walking with heavy steps to that side of her soulscape.

She... Wasn't looking forward to that.

So she didn't notice until she was in the middle of the laboratory again.

Just in front of a shabby blonde asshole looking down on her.

Rude, staring is rude.

"Oh, c'mon. I don't bite" Said the blonde smiling down on her.

If the blonde girl didn't know that this asshole also had skills, and could somehow use them inside her soulscape. She might have kicked him... Perhaps she would do it anyway.

"Not outside bed anyway." He added with a knowing smile.

She couldn't help but laugh at that, it was totally out of character that she found it funny.

"Well, that's rude... Shouldn't you blush like a normal girl? I mean... I will not look down on a gift if you are offering..." She just laughed harder at that.
