Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel-Chapter 33 Zorian’s Blessing

?"What the hell, Lucas?! What kind of deal did the two of you make?!" Lilith jumped out of her seat.

"Here we go again." Lucas sighed. "I am not telling you!"

Sarah stared at the two idiots starting another fight again and sighed. "Come on, guys! Stop it."

Lilith and Lucas stubbornly stared each other down. "Fine," Lilith said with a sigh. "Whatever. You can tell me later."

"AAARGHHH. That's not going to happen." Lucas released a long groan and shook his head. "Let it go!"

"Humpf!" Lilith pouted. "FINE! I don't care anymore."

"Okay then. Let's get going!" Sarah grabbed Lucas' arm and dragged him towards his seat.

"Jeez. That girl." Lucas said with an exaggerated groan.

"Oh, come on." Sarah gently punched Lucas's shoulder and chuckled. "We're just glad that you're okay."

A bell ringing interrupted their talk. As soon as they got into their seats, the teacher entered the room.

"Good morning, class." Mr. Weiward smiled, shaking hands with everyone in the room. "Today is going to be an interesting day. We're going to discuss the ancient art of Zorian's blessing today. Today's lesson will last until lunchtime.

"Eh? What's that?" Lucas whispered in Sarah's ear.

"You don't know?" Sarah asked him. "Zorian's Blessing is a form of magic that grants its user enhanced reflexes."

"Oh?" Lucas raised his brow in surprise. "That sounds useful." Another skill Lucas deemed useful to learn.

"It does," Sarah nodded. "But it's hard to learn and requires a lot of practice. I needed 6 years to learn it."

"You know it?" Lucas stared at Sarah with sparkling eyes. "Wanna teach me?"

"Well... Aren't you powerless?" Sarah raised her brows. "How can you learn it without mana?"

"Uh... That..." Lucas awkwardly scratched his head. "I, uh, sorry..." He forgot that he never revealed Sarah about his magical abilities.

"It's okay... If you want to learn theory on this... I will teach you." Sarah smiled brightly. "Wanna do it today?"

"YES!" Lucas nodded enthusiastically. "Thank you!"

The next hour passed quickly as Mr. Weiward taught his students about the basic principles behind Zorian's Blessing.

"600 years ago, Zorian was a youngest son of the Elemental kingdom's royal family. His older brothers were all destined to become dukes, lords, and kings one day. Zorian however; Zorian's family cursed him and forced to leave the castle. According to legend, he spent those 30 years wandering around the world learning everything he could under the sun."

Mr. Weiward paused for a moment and looked over at his students. "In thirty years, he learned how to fly, shoot lightning from his fingertips, create illusions and read people's minds. Despite all that, he remained unsatisfied. So, what was he searching for?"

Sarah raised her hand for a question.

"Could it be that he was searching for a way to increase his lifespan or remove the curse?" Sarah suggested with a smirk. "I mean, his family cursed him. So..."

"Indeed, Sarah." Mr. Weiward smiled. "However, despite using his knowledge and wisdom to create many powerful magic abilities... He failed at achieving what he was searching. Instead, we now have a powerful magic skill called 'Zorian's blessing. It allows its users to enhance their physical capabilities. In other words, you can exchange your mana for physical enhancement."

"Interesting." Lucas mumbled with sparkling eyes sparkling . He knew that this skill was something that he must learn.

"Can you show us an example?" Lucas raised his hand for a question.

"Yes, Lucas." Mr. Weiward nodded and turned to Lucas. "Observe."

Mr. Weiward closed his eyes and focused on his breathing, while simultaneously chanting some sort of incantation. A moment later, he opened his eyes and punched a wall, making a hole in it. After seeing that, most of the students gasped in surprise.

"That's pretty good for a human." Lucas muttered.

Meanwhile, Lilith was taking a nap. She had no reason to learn a skill like this as a deity. Skills her father taught Lilith were on a whole different level.

'L-Lucas.' Lilith muttered in her sleep and chuckled.

Before a lunch break, Mr. Weiward dismissed his students with a wave of his hand. "You're free to go for today. I have some business to attend to today."

"Woah! Cool!" the entire class gasped excitedly.

Lilith yawned. "Is it lunchtime?" she said, while rubbing her eyes.

"Yeah." Sarah nodded. "Wait. Did you fall asleep during the lecture?"

Lilith blinked twice. "Just bored. Let's go." 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

"Uh... Sarah is going to teach me Zorian's blessing today..." Lucas awkwardly said, but then added. "Theory of it. Would you like to join us?"

"Sure." Lilith laughed. "Sounds fun!"

'You literally fell asleep during the lecture about this blessing...' Both Sarah and Lucas thought to themselves.

"Are you hungry, Lucas?" Lilith asked with a smile.

"No, I'm fine." Lucas shook his head. "I'll just eat at home." fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

"Oh..." Lilith frowned. "You sure?"

"I'm fine."

"Alright then." Lilith shrugged and smiled. "Well, we'll be going to my house. Is that okay with you?"

"Of course." Lucas smiled back. "Lead the way."

They headed west to the center of the nobility district, where Lilith lived. Her mansion was in the northwest corner of the city.

"Wow." Lucas and Sarah exclaimed as they stared at Lilith's large mansion. "This place is enormous."

"My dad is powerful." Lilith said with a shrug. "He got this house just because he wanted."

"Your father must be a great person." Sarah nodded in admiration.

"Yeah, well..." Lilith suddenly blushed. "He is awkward."

"Awkward?" Sarah cocked her head to the side. "Like Lucas?"

"HEY!" Lucas glared at Sarah. "Don't say that!"

"Yup." Lilith grinned. "A bit."

"HEY!!!" Lucas yelled.

Girls started to laugh. "What's wrong, Lucas?" Sarah teased. "We're telling the truth!"

"Shut up!!" Lucas yelled, raising his voice.

"She's right, Lucas." Lilith giggled. "You and my dad are so similar that if you were my brother, everyone would instantly say that you got all his good genes."

Lucas annoyed muttered. "Daddy's girl."

"HEY?!" Lilith angrily glared at Lucas. "Don't call me that."
