Just as he wanted to say something, she separated herself from him and said in a very feeble voice "Thank you!"
"It's fine. I'm here whenever you need me." He smiled and said "Let's go there, others are waiting for their turn to fight."
Flavia was dazed by his gentle demeanor that surfaced all of a sudden. Until now she only saw him as a playful and free person, but now seeing that how he comforted her, she felt warmness spread in her heart for the first time in a long while. She nodded and softly said "Un."
When the elder saw Flavia all shocked because she couldn't destroy Bartan's water barrier, she felt a bit bad for her as this could result in utter despair for her if she couldn't find her confidence again.
However, When Max came and comforted her, she sighed in relief. She looked at Max peculiarly and mumbled "What a lucky girl to have such a caring boyfriend."
She then shook her head and thought "But he is too reckless to try and kill a disciple in front of everyone. If he continue to be this reckless, he might prove to a Bane for her.'
Then a sudden thought came to her mind 'Maybe not. He isn't simple as he seemed to be able to endure my aura without any problem. Hm...' While looking at their backs, she fell in her own thoughts.
Haory who was standing among the disciples saw this and thought while her hand unconsciously touched her abdomen 'So you aren't not a bad guy...'
If Max could hear her thoughts now, he would be speechless and only one thought would come to his mind 'Women are strange creatures. That can't be understood by men'.
She seemed to have forgotten that he was the one who gave her that healing pill out of kindness. If he was a bad guy, would be care?
...
The remaining fights continued until evening. When every fight was done and everyone was given their library tokens and extra rewards. The elder announced the end of today's class and that for the upcoming month, they will fight and train under the guidance of other elders.
Their 300+ disciples' class was going to be separated in six different section that six elders will take charge of.
...
As they were returning to their dorms, Max was feeling excited because he will soon learn how to fight properly.
Flavia looked at him deep in his thoughts and gently tapped on his shoulder. Max focused and looked at her and asked "What is it Miss Flavia?"
"Sir Max, you should drop the honorifics and can directly call me Flavia. We are fr-friends now right?" She said a bit stuttering, while her eyes seemed to escape his gaze. This was a refreshing change to see as she always had that serious look on her face.
Seeing this Max rejoiced internally 'Finally, she is willing to become close with me, haha!' It's a male's nature to want to make any woman they find beautiful their own. Max wasn't any different, therefore he was happy seeing this.
The first time he saw her in the weapons' shop, he was charmed by her beauty. The only thought that came to his mind was to make her his. This was one of the reason why Max didn't care about Dalton's enmity and kept interacting with her.
"If that's the case, you also also do the same and call me Max." He nodded and then asked "So Flavia what is it that you want to say?"
For some reason, Flavia felt a bit happy hearing him call her name. She hesitantly said "As the elder said, our class will be divided in six sections. So I was thinking that we might not be in the same section. So will we be able to m-meet like this?"
After saying this she glanced at Max and saw him smiling weirdly, she panicked and hurriedly said "Please don't get me wrong, I'm only saying this be-because you're my only friend here."
After spending some time with him, she unconsciously started treating him as her spiritual support as he would always be with her when she felt like she was going to lose her way. Just like today and in the recruitment when he tried to motivate her.
Max smiled "Don't worry. Even if we are in the different sections, we are still in the same Academy. If you want, we can always meet." He then laughed "Who would be stupid enough to not want to spend time with such a gorgeous lady like you."
Flavia blushed hearing him call her gorgeous. Although he always praised her beauty, she didn't feel embarrassed like she did now. She knew that something changed inside her after meeting him however, she didn't think much about it because she liked this change.
"Okay, I'll be going now." She quickly walked away not wanting to show him her childish expression.
'Such an amazing woman...' Max thought as he watched her figure disappear from his sight.
Although he wanted her to become his woman, he also knew that she had some problems of her own to deal with, and that's why she was working so hard to become strong.
'I will be able to help her if she agrees to become my woman.' He thought. After the second awakening of his system, he knew that the woman he will have sex with, will also benefit and become strong. That will be beneficial for both of them as he also needed a lot of LPs right now.
....
"Hey look, it's that handsome guy from our class."
"Hmm, he is alone right now, so should we try talking to him?"
"I don't know, although we are also beautiful but we are nothing in front of that golden haired girl who he is always with."
"..."
Just as Max was thinking how he should go about to get more LPs to improve, he heard a few girls stealing glances at him and whispering among themselves.
Although he shouldn't be able to hear what they were talking about as he was only a two-star mage and they were quite far from him. However, he could now because of his high Intelligence attribute.
After he found that he has a system and saw different attributes, he guessed that Intelligence should be referring to his brain power or thought process etc.
But when he increased his intelligence to 50, he found that his brain power only increased slightly however, his other senses such as hearing, eyesight, mana affinity and even his intuition were hightened considerably.
His hightened senses were the main reason he could react in time when Lacron attacked him at such insane speed. Although his agility was also an important factor.
Max turned to look at them and licked his lips inwardly, 'Until Flavia doesn't comes around, these girls should be able to provide me with enough lust points.'
His lust was ignited after seeing that these girls wanted to get close to him.
However, before he could go and talk to them, he heard a complaining voice from behind him "I thought you were going to come and find me at the martial arena."
He turned to look at a beauty who wasn't lacking in any way compared to Flavia and had more seductive and innocent charm to her.
However, Max's attention quickly shifted to her current appearance that look very Haggard. There were many cuts and bruises over her body. Her uniform was also tattered in many places.
He became worried and asked "What happened to you Anna? Didn't I say that you shouldn't push yourself too hard?"
Seeing the concern in his voice, Anna's face blossomed with a smile, and she giggled "It's normal to get some slight injuries while sparring. Hehe, You shouldn't worry so much about me."
Max smiled wryly seeing her expression that contradicted from what she said. Which made her appear cute and he ruffled her hair which were already messed up.
Anna smacked his hand away and pouted "I'm older than you. You shouldn't treat me like a kid."
"Okay okay!" Max raised his hand up in surrender and laughed.
Seeing that he wasn't taking her seriously, she wanted to rebuke him more but she noticed some girls looking at Max with shining eyes as if they wanted to devour him, she became irritated and grabbed his hand and said "Let's go, this place is infested with foxes."
