Chapter 113: Karma

Classes started and here I was inside my doppelgänger, in the identity of Seraphina. Now that I was free to do what I wanted, I didn’t need to act anymore and could behave normally.

The only flaw of the doppelgänger is that, while it can perfectly duplicate strength and stats, it can only use one ability at a time.

Sure, I can disable it and activate the one I want, but some passives like affinities, protection and blessing can’t overlap.

Not to mention morphogenesis, but since this was my normal appearance, I didn’t need it.

I already had an idea of how Seraphina would act, and she would be a light mage, something normal in her family, so it’s not uncommon.

Besides, I have a lot of experience from my alternate self on this subject. I had not followed that path because, without the EX skill, it would not be very remarkable, and the art of lust was of such a high level that it was the quick path to power.

But in this body I will begin to practice breathing and light magic, along with other elements. While my original body will not become stronger, the experience will remain. Like a certain ninja who has the cloning technique, I already tried it and it does work.

Honestly, I also tried a lot of things this morning with the doppelgänger, but I couldn’t ’resonate’ with it.

I thought it might be a possibility, but nothing happened. I’m not sure if the problem is the doppelgänger or the resonance, or maybe both.

Well, it would be too good to be true, since, if I wanted to, I could make more doppelgängers, albeit weaker ones. At least I tried.

..

.

As usual, to protect myself from the predatory William, I wore braids and big glasses now that I was in my doppelgänger. It was uncomfortable, but better that than risk it.

There I was, fighting the drowsiness spell from history class, my worst enemy, but still I kept myself conscious….

’Huh?’ What happened? …Wait, I blinked for a second and suddenly the professor disappeared, what’s going on, is it a skill or magic?’

“No, my lady, she simply fell asleep. I beg you to try to maintain the family’s image.”

“Huh, what?”

As if reading my mind, trying to decipher what had happened with the instructor, Elena next to me spoke, accusing me when it was clearly a trick of the teacher.

But, putting that aside, I noticed something I had so far overlooked.

“Hey, Elena, you know, I just realized that there’s no reason for you to call me formally at the academy. I mean, technically in the academy there’s no such thing as ranks, so call me ’Phina Darling’.”

“…(눈_눈)”

“Okay, calm down, just kidding. At least call me ’Phina’, it’s even okay with ’MissPhina’, but you have to say ’kyun kyun’ at the end to reflect your honey and closeness.”

“…Miss Phina, die.”

“This, Elena, I think you vocalized ’kyun kyun’ wrong, but I’ll let it pass since it’s you. Well, you know from now on I don’t think we’ll ever be maid and mistress again, just friends, at least externally. So there’s no need for you to act so aloof in public.”

“My lady, if I remember correctly, I am the one who prepares your bath, clothes and hairstyle, of both identities. I also arrange matters related to what a young lady should do, such as turning down invitations to parties. Not to mention that I sometimes help her with her homework and besides…”

“Oh!!!, great and merciful lady Elena, not my goddess Elena…. forgive this wretch who doesn’t know his place and ignore the words I just said! They were just meaningless ramblings from someone who doesn’t know his place. I am definitely your mistress and you my servant, so, mistress, forgive me my ignorance.”

I said as I begged for mercy. I certainly appreciate Elena and her work. To hell with everything, it doesn’t matter if she calls me ’my lady’or ’Sir Christian’, if she is happy, so be it. As long as during our intimate time she calls me ’Phina’, and especially ’Darling ’, I am happy.

To show my sincerity, I grabbed her arm and pressed myself against her, acting humble.

I could see the corner of her mouth lift up a little, which was rare and left me spellbound, unfortunately, it always lasts a short time and she returned, to her normal acting, but it also meant she was in a good mood.

’Whew…Lucky me, I almost dug my own grave unintentionally.’

Well, leaving that aside, I missed spending time like this with Elena. Since we had started the academy, our time together had dwindled, and I was more than happy to spend time with her.

Since it was now a short break until the next class, Alice approached us and the three of us began to talk animatedly, without worrying about our surroundings.

Thus, the class period passed without any more problems. When classes were over, my original self went to Astrid’s to have a good time, as usual, but this time with full control of this doppelgänger I had different plans.

So, undercover, I followed Selene until I saw her separate from her sister, who was on her way to be an assistant.

And without any hesitation, I grabbed her and we headed towards our room, where Elena and Alice were waiting for us for some girl time.

’huehuehue’

*****

Pov: ???

At that moment, Seraphina, who was carrying Selene, did not notice that a person was following her closely, watching her carefully. That figure followed her all the way until she reached her room.

Seraphina, apparently, felt something strange and looked around looking for the presence, but found nothing, taking it as her imagination. She entered with Selene to her room.

The figure stood there, motionless, watching, until finally, from the next room, a pretty blonde half-elf girl came out and, without even knocking, entered the room using a key that only the owner of the place should have.

After a while of just watching from the shadows, the figure simply left. As for her intentions, they were unclear, but she definitely had something in mind.

*****

Now M}my doppelgänger would have fun with Elena, Alice and Selene until the time when I usually started my lessons. It didn’t bother me, as I just had to concentrate a bit and, in the end, I would be myself. I will also have a good time with astrid who is now more resistant thanks to the earned statistics.

Although we think and act individually, we share the same mind.

I usually talk to him when we are face to face. but To begin with, it is a habit of mine to talk to myself, like at this moment….

’Damn! This is getting worse since I got parallel thinking.’

Well, so what. I can’t go crazy thanks to the blessing, so my mental health, though messed up, should be fine… maybe… uhmm, how effective was the blessing? uhmm….. Well, whatever.

..

.

I had finished the paperwork like improving my relationship with Astrid and since I no longer needed to hang out with Selene, I went to the training camps.

I knew that Lys and William used to spend time together until I came along but even then I felt it was more important to spend time with Selene. now I have my priorities straight and I wouldn’t obsess about expanding the harem and let it all happen naturally.

Oddly enough, the ones who have fanned the flames to keep increasing my harem have been the girls, which now even includes Alice, who was in complete agreement this morning when we were showering together.

Well, Lys is a good person and I would definitely want her in my harem, but I won’t do anything that will backfire later.

Still, I will keep trying until she accepts or rejects me…. Well, until she rejects me definitively, without any chance… more than once… if she has to reject me more than three… no, four times, for me to give up.

With that thought, I arrived and looked at the group, which now numbered eight.

’Wait, weren’t there only six of us counting Selene and Eira?’

I counted again and there were definitely eight people in our frequent area. And that’s with the twins not having arrived.

There are definitely four extra ’pests’ who arrived uninvited, known as Bam, Mike, Alexander and Ivan.

Funny, if I’m not forgetting, I think I created these sessions to get closer to Lys, not to guide these idiots.

’Hmm… Well, maybe I needed new training bags, and Ivan is especially good at that. The others are just in case he breaks.’

Thinking about it, I walked to the place, which was almost set aside exclusively for us, a corner in this huge training ground.

There was a fight in progress, it was Aurora against William. I watched as Aurora cast water and mist magic to confuse William, to then simply shoot rock projectiles, hitting vulnerable parts of his body, it was a fight of tactics versus strength, well both don’t seem to be giving it their all.

I wonder, William, after receiving the legacy, must have had a significant increase in strength and other abilities.

If memories are not mistaken, he must have inherited a weapon that belonged to the first king, a powerful light centered martial art, which should be the same one I have in my memories, as well as knowledge of several other things left by the first king, including an unhatched divine beast affiliated with the god of light. In addition to some survival-centric items.

there was a reason why everything could not be left indiscriminately to William, Despite being the heir. Karma here is a real force, and leaving too much good stuff so blatantly can backfire. That’s why sometimes you have to leave examinations and things like that.

So I only leave the essentials, to William, and a little to his companions, since the original plan was that those who did the ’domain’ would receive based on their accomplishments, so as not to give too easily and ruin them, even though they would be beneficial things, it would be impossible to receive, more than William himself.

And it proved to be true since, in the line of my alternate self, they only opened, up to the second vault, and no more there, and the raid team, was different from the current one, and was not as strong.

So what we got a lot more this time, but it wouldn’t affect us at all. still, as it was originally The rest of the things we didn’t choose would go to Mirk, who earned it after taking care of the legacy for a long time.

But hey, in the end I swallowed it all myself, and it doesn’t affect me. First, because no one had any intention of giving it to me in the first place to begin with, so it’s considered naturally earned karma.

And besides, even if it wasn’t, the omnipotent protection of lust would have protected me from that harmful cause and effect. So, if I calculate, I even received more than William, since I plundered everything totally.
