Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

Aisha returned to her room and fell into deep thought.

The key to changing the witch's current situation lies in the witch's mark and bloodline. The mark is of paramount importance, as it triggers an abyssal invasion and has a significant impact on the witch's mind. The witch's bloodline cannot be taken lightly either. According to Pittman, the mark is essentially a thing similar to a monster's magic core. The magic core stores magic power and communicates with magic power, and the abyss mark does the same, storing abyssal energy and communicating with the abyss. Without the magic core, the monster's strength will be greatly reduced, but this does not mean that the monster is completely severed from magic power. The same is true for the witch. Even without the abyss mark, the witch's bloodline is still a rare primer that can directly resonate with the abyss.

Therefore, unless there is a way to completely block the impact of these two factors, it will be difficult for the church to change the current situation with its current capabilities.

——I just don’t know if my physique has any effect on the mark, maybe I can give it a try.

Aisha thought.

She and Vivian had had so much physical contact, so taking Vivian to the church to reexamine the mark would confirm it. If Elsa's magic dispelling power also worked on the Abyssal Mark, then perhaps she could communicate directly with the church to allow Vivian and Sophia to break free from the shadow of witches and start a new life. In other words, from now on, "witches" would no longer exist. Elsa would definitely find a way to allow every witch to return to normal life.

But if it doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll have to be careful about Vivian's current situation - after all, Vivian and Elsa have touched each other countless times, and the holy light seal in her body was probably dispelled by Elsa at some point in time.

Listening to the mother and daughter in the next room seriously discussing how to "conquer" her, Elsa suddenly thought of another thing.

——Come to think of it, she also has a floating island “under her name”.

208. Can you go shopping with me? (4K2)

Only then did Vivian realize that the so-called selection of holy nuns was just an excuse for her to come to Dammas City - to be honest, the only person who could come up with such a weird idea was probably Father Fletcher.

Because this actually involves a bit of trickery and luck, but it is undeniable that this method does work.

Otherwise, according to the church's internal screening standards for witches, Vivian would undoubtedly have to be observed for several more years before she would be allowed to leave Mallaig, and Vivian would still live her previous life.

That's why Vivian was sent here in the name of participating in the selection.

"After the selection is complete, Dammas Abbey will ask you if you are willing to stay and become a member of the monastery. At that time, you only need to answer 'yes'."

Sophia said.

"Really...but will you come, Mom?" Vivian asked. It all sounded incredibly simple, but Vivian always felt like something was missing.

Sophia smiled and reached out to scratch Vivian's nose.

"Yes, don't worry. Father Fletcher has already submitted your case to the bishop and received a positive response, so just go ahead and do your best. Mom will always be watching over you. Compared to this, Sister Aisha is the one who needs more effort and attention."

"Um...are you really going to do this?"

"Of course, the book says that if you want to win someone's affection quickly, then you need to make them notice your feelings. Whether it's gradually building a closer relationship through repeated dates, or simply confessing your feelings to win, the core goal is to attract the other person's attention and focus more on you. So if you want Miss Aisha's heart, you must take action starting tomorrow."

Sophia held a thick stack of handwritten notes in her hands and spoke confidently, as if she were a battle-hardened master of emotions.

And this Sophia also gave Vivian courage.

Yes, if you don’t take the first step, you haven’t started yet.

"Tomorrow, you must do your best! Oh, and by the way, let me dress you up tomorrow. Although you are definitely a little beauty, Vivian, proper dressing will make your beauty even more beautiful."

"Um...Thank you, Mom. I-I'll do my best!"

"Let's make a plan, starting with how to get Elsa to accept the date invitation!"

"Ok!"

"Confession is the most romantic date, so let's make it our goal!"

"Wouldn't that be too bold..."

"You have to show your strength, Vivian! You must learn this. Elsa is also a girl. You should act a little more assertive when necessary! For example... kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, or even... something..."

"Mom, your face is so red..."

"Anyway, keep up the good work."

"I certainly will!"

The mother and daughter were indeed very imposing, but all of this was heard by Elsa.

……

The next day arrived as usual.

Early in the morning, Aisha met two acquaintances in the monastery.

One was Hannah, a guard of the lord's mansion who she had met once before, and the other was Buck, a knight of the church. They both came here specifically to wait for Sophia and happened to meet Elsa.

"Greetings, Lady Faris, the Lord sends his regards."

"Oh? It's you guys, how are you doing lately?"

Aisha gave a gentle smile in return and looked at the two of them.

Hannah was still dressed in her smart outfit, and the simple ponytail made her look very heroic. Buck was wearing a white church uniform, but with a silver armed sword hanging around his waist, which looked quite formal. It was more like something used in ceremonial occasions than in combat occasions, giving him a more gentle temperament.

Aisha greeted them briefly and took them to the guest room.

"Mrs. Trawins has been informed."

"Thank you, Lady Faris."

"Speaking of which, the person in charge of the investigation this time is Hannah? I was wondering if Shibern would hand this matter over to you. After all, Miss Hannah is serious and capable."

"You're praising me too much... As you can see, Sir Sir entrusted me with the command and coordination of the investigation. This was simply because I happened to be in charge of the preliminary investigation, so he simply handed it all over to me."

Hannah said modestly, looking very energetic.

Aisha smiled and looked from Hannah to Buck and asked, "What about you Buck?"

"As for me... I'm just an overseer sent by the church."

Buck took over and spread his hands. Although he seemed a little nervous when facing Elsa, his straightforward character remained the same.

“Isn’t this amazing?”

As for the so-called supervisor, he is just an insurance in case the witch goes berserk - Buck himself does not have to participate in the mission or any battle, he just serves as the eyes of the church. He carries a special magic device to follow the action, and the magic device will indicate to him the strength of Sophia's abyss magic. If it exceeds the safety limit, Buck must apply for church support as soon as possible.

It's like a siren, that's what it is.

At this time, Sophia came out of the room. She said something to Vivian and then came to Hannah. The two of them made some confirmations before starting the mission.

Sophia seemed to look at Elsa intentionally or unintentionally, but quickly looked away. Elsa's eyes were fixed on Sophia, and then she looked past Sophia at Vivian standing outside the door. Vivian noticed Elsa's gaze and immediately tensed her expression, her eyes a little evasive.

Vivian had a unique charm today - Elsa could see that Vivian had dressed up specially, which was the first time since they met.

Aisha raised the corners of her mouth.

"Is your sister, Yuna, okay?"

Elsa suddenly asked, chatting with Buck, but her eyes were still fixed on Vivian. Vivian was really cute today, making Elsa unconsciously want to see more.

"I thought you would introduce your sister to me a little earlier."

"Yuna..." After all, Elsa was now a hero admired by everyone. Buck no longer mentioned the promise he had made to Elsa about his sister. However, he was still very happy that Elsa took the initiative to ask about his sister. "Actually, she has met you before, but she didn't dare to say hello to you because you happened to be talking to Bishop Pittman at that time. She also told me you were very beautiful."

Speaking of his younger sister Yuna, Buck, who was a little reserved in front of Elsa, immediately became talkative.

This guy has a sister complex - Aisha thought.

However, Elsa had no impression of the nun named Yuna. Otherwise, if she was the sister of someone she knew, she would at least go up and say hello. After arriving in Dammas, Elsa actually rarely interacted with other nuns. After all, she was always busy with this or that.

So, it's been a while since Elsa had a break.

Maybe she could find some time to take Vivian and the others somewhere to relax, Elsa thought. This would also help improve the relationship between them. After all, Sophia and Filia didn't seem to know each other very well.

Where are you going?

Sky Island might be a good choice - Aisha thought of her idea from yesterday. And that kind of place is indeed very beautiful and worth a visit.

By the way, after finishing things here, the organization behind Alman should be more or less clear. It would be nice to go and talk to Tricia about it - I just don't know if Sophia has time.

……

Sophia had already left the monastery with Hannah and started today's work. Before leaving, Vivian received encouragement from Sophia. Vivian pursed her lips, thinking of today's plan, and her heartbeat became uncontrollable.

In the morning, Sophia dressed Vivian up specially. For the first time, Vivian painted her lips, applied scented powder on her neck and wrists, tied her hair up meticulously, and ironed her clothes flat with magic. She didn't know if Elsa noticed that she had dressed up today. She wanted to know, but subconsciously avoided Elsa's sight.

Recently, Vivian has started to think more and more about things that she had never thought about before. She is always hesitant because of this and that, which makes Vivian feel helpless.

Vivian knew that she was becoming more and more anxious, but because she was right next to Elsa, she couldn't help but think this way.

Elsa, Vivian, and Filia had breakfast together.

"Vivian, after the selection process is finalized, how about we go to Weilin Town together? ——Invite Filia and Madam Sophia as well. It shouldn't be a problem if we don't delay too long."

"Eh?"

Vivian seemed to be still immersed in her own world, and when Aisha spoke to her, she let out a cute little sound.

In fact, until just now, Vivian had been reviewing last night's "homework". She had a notebook in her hand, on which was a detailed "plan" that Sofia had written to Vivian, such as how to invite Elsa to a "date", what excuse would be more reasonable, what to say and when to improve her favorability, or how to express her feelings to Elsa one day in the future, what kind of reaction Elsa might have, and how Vivian should respond... and so on.

Vivian thought a lot and finalized the plan in her mind over and over again. She finally mustered up a little courage, but in the end, she became the one who was "asked" - the first step of her carefully designed "confession" plan had not yet begun when it was disrupted by Elsa's active invitation. Vivian didn't know what to do next in the plan for a while.

It seemed like she had lost the initiative without realizing it?

Vivian hurriedly lowered her eyes to look at her notes, but the originally clear and easy-to-understand notes suddenly turned into a pile of densely packed ants - they seemed to be running around happily, and Vivian could not understand them at all.

Vivian looked anxious.

"——Vivian, what's wrong with you?"

Aisha's voice was close by and asked, as if she was breathing pleasant breath into Vivian's ears.

Vivian sat up straight with a "yeah".

"Huh? What are you looking at?"

"Um, that... um... it's, it's nothing... just a few... magic notes... or something..." Vivian's face flushed, and her voice gradually dropped. Even Filia glanced at her. Vivian finally managed to squeeze out a few words and changed the subject. "Um, Weilin Town, that... is the town where Elsa lived, right?"

"Yeah, it's not a bustling place, but I know a few places where you can relax. Want to go?"

Aisha smiled and asked, her pretty face reflecting the perfect arc in Vivian's eyes.

Vivian's heartbeat was accelerating.

"I...can I really go..."

Vivian really couldn't hide her expectant look.

Anything related to someone she loves seems to have some kind of magical power, attracting girls in love. Vivian is genuinely interested in everything about Elsa. Even Elsa's gloves are enough for her to hold in her hands and play with for ages, not to mention being able to visit the place where Elsa once lived and grew up.

——Vivian really wanted to know Elsa’s past, as if she could appear in Elsa’s past life.

The throbbing that spread throughout her body as her heart pumped pushed Vivian, making her feel hot all over.

But soon Vivian became a little conflicted again.

"I...I want to go, but..."

All witches must be under the Church's watchful eye, so how could they wander off? Of course, Vivian believed that as long as Elsa was there, the Church would definitely give in to such matters. But was it really a good idea to trouble Elsa for such a matter? Besides, if she went to a new place... would she, a witch, go there...

Vivian didn't want to appear in the past of the person she loved as someone she disliked.

But Aisha's soft and gentle voice interrupted Vivian's thoughts and easily soothed the anxiety that filled Vivian's chest.

"Don't think too much." Aisha's smile reflected in Vivian's blue eyes. "As long as you want it and you like it, just tell me - leave the rest to me."

Vivian was dazzled by the smile and nodded subconsciously. She opened her mouth but couldn't remember what she wanted to say. She still remembered what her mother said to her last night, but she couldn't remember a single line.

"What about you, Philia?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Filia showed no emotion and agreed readily.

After breakfast, Filia went to the Adventurer's Guild again - after all, Elsa and Vivian had things to do, and it was really too boring for her to stay in the monastery alone.

Mary brought new news.

Because Vivian performed well in the first match, she achieved a good score. Therefore, although she lost to her opponent, she still achieved a good result and qualified for the rematch.

"Congratulations, Vivian, now you have another chance to proceed to the next round of selection."

Mary congratulated her, and Vivian herself seemed to have not expected that she could enter the semi-finals after losing. She subconsciously looked at Aisha.

Elsa smiled.

"This is all earned through your strength."

But, Vivian was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"I, I... I still want to fight for it..."
