After Aldred caught a few fish, Sophia wanted to try catching some with her spell. She flicked her finger and the water burst, causing the fish to wiggle around in the air.
Sophia dragged her hand, and the fish were pulled towards the ground where they hopped around.
The students cheered again.
"Who's next?" Aldred asked.
"Me," Stella said. She swung her staff forward, and suddenly, dozens of fish appeared in the air, being stiff and still like they were frozen through time.
The fish then teleported to the ground, unmoving.
"What did you do to those fish?"
"I froze their time."
"You can control time?"
"It's a non-elemental spell. I don't really manipulate time. If you touch them, they will return to normal."
"Ah, I see. If you could control time, you would be too strong."
Stella chuckled. "No one in this world will be stronger than you, Aldred. The continent is lucky that you are still a Gold Rank."
"I wonder if there's anything stronger than the Diamond Rank."
"There is. Haven't you heard of the Adamantite Rank?"
"I have, but those guys never show themselves, right? They simply protected each race beyond the shadow, and will not take any movement for war, political unrest, and whatnots."
"That is true," Stella said. "But they are the strongest existence in this continent. I believe there are stronger beings outside the continent."
"Above Adamantite? What are they called?"
"They are called Mythical. Just like their name suggests, they are believed to be a myth. Their strengths are too unfathomable, and are believed to be nothing but imagination."
"Too strong that they are only believed to be imaginary?"
"Yep. Many tales said that beings with such strength could easily destroy worlds and even consume them. Can you believe that?"
'I can,' Aldred thought. His father literally destroyed galaxies for him when he was still a baby. Now that he thought about it… at what stage was his father currently?
If he recalled it correctly, his father was around level 978… when he was a baby he didn't think much about that number, but now that he understood how weak others were, he couldn't help but think how overpowered his father was.
Aldred shook his head. "Let's continue our fishing. Who's next?"
"Me!" Mareona said.
"What are you going to use?" Aldred asked since Mareona wasn't a magician.
"This." Mareona threw a rock at the lake and blasted a few fish out of the water.
"Nice. Who's next?"
"I want to try," Saphira said, stepping forward. She raised both of her hands and entered a stance. She started dancing gracefully immediately.
Her movement was smooth without any nuisance. The water of the lake moved. It was subtle at first, and then it formed many spikes that came from the lake up to the surface.
The water spikes pierced through the fish, and then a small wave brought them to land.
"Nice job."
Then, all of them went fishing using their techniques and spells for a moment. After they were done, Aldred stored the fish in his divine dimension.
That was when an idea came to his mind. "Guys, why don't we swim in this lake?"
"Good idea," Mareona said. "I will swim in first." She took off her armor, revealing her beautiful body even more, and then jumped into the lake.
She popped out of the water and waved at them. "Come on in!"
They all looked at each other before throwing their clothes away and leaping into the water.
Splash! Splash!
"The water is so cold!" Kiara said.
Seeing Aldred having fun, the students wanted to jump into the lake as well. That was until a crocodile-like creature jumped out of the water and opened its jaws wide at Aldred.
"Hah! You think I didn't notice you?" Aldred held the crocodile's mouth using his bare hand, and he wrestled with it under the water.
After snapping the crocodile's mouth, he came out of the water and invited the students to join in.
"We are fine, Master. I think it's better if we stay on the land!"
Who the hell would like to jump into the lake after seeing a gigantic crocodile?!
Even Krista didn't want to get into the water.
Meanwhile, Aldred and his women were splashing around the lake, playing with each other.
Aldred splashed a wave of water toward Saphira.
Saphira giggled and sent him an entire tsunami.
Aldred couldn't really do anything but to bewildered at the massive wave that clashed upon him. His vision was spinning around in the water until the wave passed and his head came out of the water.
All the girls laughed when they saw that, and they continued to play.
This time Aldred decided to be a little naughty. He submerged and swam under the water and approached Mareona. She was currently wearing nothing but some clothes covering her sensitive spots.
Grinning, he grabbed onto her legs and kissed her belly button. Mareona yelped and was about to kick Aldred before he quickly swam away and pounced onto his next target.
"Be careful, guys! Aldred is under the water."
They all looked around to find Aldred, but even so, they couldn't see him coming and fell to his prey one by one.
"Aldred!" They all shouted at him with blushed cheeks and swam under the water to chase him.
"Holy shit! Time to escape." Aldred swam away, but a powerful force sucked him back, and his arms were grabbed by Mary and Mareona.
Bubbles escaped his mouth, and that was when Sophia smiled and kissed him as Stella, Rachel, and the rest dragged him to the bottom of the lake.
They looked like a bunch of beautiful mermaids dragging the prey down.
When they were at the bottom of the lake, they simply relaxed while viewing the fish, plants, and colorful corals around.
They could hold their breath for hours under the water, so that wasn't a problem.
Stella gently waved her hand, and an air bubble formed around their mouth.
"Okay, we can talk now," Stella said.
"I never know the scene below the lake can be so beautiful," Ivette said.
"There are so many things we can explore. Things we have never seen before," Aldred said. "I want to take all of you to see it."
They all nodded in agreement except Zafrina and Saphira who looked down, seemingly deep in thought.
