Chapter 8: Mysterious Date

Chapter 8: Mysterious Date

The Hero Talk Show ended early so I had a bit of time to calm down.

Facing Lily, I asked her about Momo.

"Momo, where is she?" (Lucas)

"She's...locked up in the deepest level of [Tartarus]." (Lily)

[Tartarus]? This should be the prisoner the [Gatekeepers] set up somewhere right? I need to visit her tomorrow...

I can't believe she's a traitor but...I still need to know everything from her own mouth.

For now, let's just get through with this schedule thing...sigh, I could just cancel everything but I already promised to go and because of my dao heart of a hero, I just couldn't easily break my promises like that.

Plus, I needed some down time. I've been on edge for over 6000 years and I could really use a day without fighting or cultivating.

Next up should be making a speech to...Saint Lucas College....is this named after me or has this always been this way?

...Let's not think about it.

I teleported the both of us directly to the college and there, a monument stood at the front of the college...It wasn't me, thank god...

It's just a guy with wings. I don't even recognize the face.

Whatever, let's get this over with.

It seems that today is a graduation ceremony and I've been asked to make a speech to encourage the students.

I was met with a lot of smiles and handshakes before the ceremony began and sat with the principal on the stage while Lily was waiting for me backstage.

I wanted her to sit next to me but she declined so I didn't push her on.

Maybe it's because she's using her [Harus] appearance which is an elf, it's a bit weird for her to be in a stage full of humans. Even in the talk show before, she didn't go on camera.

Geez, if she's so shy about it, why did she want to stay in her elf form?

Well, I guess she does look more charming this way...why do I find those long ears sexy for some reason?

*Cough* I should really be focusing on the graduation ceremony...I still haven't thought of a good speech. Eh, I'll just wing it.

"And now, a few words from the first [Hero]. The [Legendary White Haired Adventurer]! Please give a round of applause to sir Lucas!"

Oi, when did I become Legendary!?

Damn, now I have to look the part...let's just do this!

As I stood up, I invoked the [Angelic Snake], Ouroboros' [Angel's Domain]. Suddenly, the whole area was surrounded with a warm yellow light and a transparent halo appeared overhead.

This skill sure has a lot of showy effects...

"W-what is this!?"

"An AOE skill?"

"It feels so relaxing..."

"Eh, hey! I...I can see!"

Ah, oops. There was a blind guy here...I didn't notice it at all. He appeared to be confused as to why everyone suddenly become excited or why he started to feel nice. But then the healing effect started to kick in and he was cured of his blindness.

Hmm...did I overdid it a bit?

I glanced at Lily and saw her face palming.

Yep, definitely overdid it.
