My Girlfriends Are Hardcore Yanderes - Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Bold Personality Part 2
“Did I catch your attention?” She stood up, moving closer and leaning down, her cleavage just within his line of sight.

“Are you telling the truth?” he quickly asked, making sure to maintain eye contact. It would be awkward if he stared at her chest after just rejecting her offer.

She flashed a satisfied smile, sensing that he was slightly affected by her attempt to seduce him.

“Yes, the royal family commissioned me to build a portal in the capital, one that would connect to allied cities. That’s why I have access to a lot of resources.”

“Do you really need that many to build a portal?” he asked

Lucia tilted her head slightly, sensing his confusion. She had assumed he knew the complexity of building a portal, given his power.

Still, she decided to explain to him, knowing it would strengthen her bargaining position.

“The resources for building a portal aren’t cheap. The materials needed are rare and hard to come by, and that’s just the structure. Then there’s the energy required to power it. It’s a delicate balance. Without the right resources, the portal won’t work—or worse, it could collapse.”

Asher let her words sink in for a moment. Maybe this was what he had been missing all along—the right materials.

His teleportation circle relied purely on magic formulas and anchor points. That approach might have worked in the Void, but here, he needed a strong enough medium to stabilize the space between transfers.

“And what materials do you need?” he asked.

“Why should I tell you ?” she raised her eyebrow. “You haven’t agreed to my request yet. And just so you know, the materials are only the beginning. They need a special type of refinement to actually work.”

“So, how about you say yes first and give me what I want?”

Asher let out a deep tired sigh, the sound showing how much he disliked the idea.

This did not sit well with Lucia.

“If your own feelings really mean a lot to you, why not give me a chance? I’m sure you’ll find plenty to admire. I’m beautiful, wealthy, intelligent, and powerful. You won’t find anyone like me—no matter how far you look in this world.”

‘And narcissistic too,’ he muttered under his breath.

She wasn’t wrong though—someone like her, with a magical body, was super rare.

Even Lazeth didn’t possess such a physique, meaning acquiring it was hard in this world. It also showed that her talent and control over magic were far superior to others.

When it came to appearance, Lucia outshone even Index. She radiated a fiery, bold aura, reminiscent of Lucy’s, but wilder. Her curves were also on another level, and her thick, soft-looking legs commanded attention, enough to make any man drool.

But was he the type of person who could easily be swayed by beauty alone? Not at all.

He had fallen for Lucy because of her unpredictable personality and Index because of her caring nature.

But Lucia? Her presence only gave him a headache. He’d rather date Yuki—at least she was honest and gullible.

The silence stretched. Lucia, unable to keep quiet, broke it.

“Are you really that against the idea? I’ve had countless men wanting to marry me, and I rejected every one. Just being acknowledged by me is an honor.”

Asher was unimpressed. She seemed to enjoy talking about herself.

‘Maybe I can use this to my advantage.’

“I can help you with your portals and teach you a few secret spells to make you stronger,” he suggested.

“I don’t want it,” she said, shaking her head with firm resolve.

“I also have experience with manipulating space. Take this, for example.” He showed her the space bag. “I’ve figured out how to teleport inanimate objects, but transporting living beings is a challenge.”

Lucia’s eyes widened. Teleporting inanimate objects was already advanced, and the formula on the bag wasn’t one she recognized.

“Where exactly are you from?” she asked, intrigued. “I’ve been wondering about this for a while, but your spells is different from the standard Arcane Arts.”

Asher wasn’t surprised she noticed. With her magical body, she would be sensitive to energy.

However, he couldn’t just tell her the truth—that he came from another world.

Doing so could land him in unnecessary trouble, especially considering how obsessed she was with acquiring knowledge.

“I’m from a faraway continent, which is why I don’t use the same language or symbols to cast my spells.”

She touched her chin thoughtfully. In all honesty, Arcane Arts using a different concept weren’t really unheard of. Even the dryads used spells differently, and there were other branches of Arcane Arts that deviated from the norms.

“The energy I’m sensing is similar to the space bags we use in Eryx, but this one is even more refined. I wonder why you need my help, or is this bag not made by you?”

She might be a narcissist, but she was very perceptive.

“Yes,” he admitted. “This was actually made by my wife, and the reason I want to figure out teleportation is because I want to get back to her.”

“So you’re from a different continent, and there was an accident that transported you here ?”

“Yes,” he nodded. She was more or less correct.

Lucia closed her eyes, briefly considering his background.

A powerful sorcerer like him wanting to learn from her made sensed now—though young and clearly talented in some areas, it didn’t mean he excelled at everything. She assumed teleportation wasn’t his forte.

“Alright, I’ll play along. But I’m adding another condition: while you help me with the portal, you also have to be a professor at this academy and teach me 10 powerful spells. That way, I won’t just be handing you what you want without you earning it.”

“Deal,” he extended his hand with a smile, relieved that he had successfully shifted her focus onto something else.

But beneath her calm demeanor, she hadn’t given up on her original goal—she would use their time together to make him fall head over heels for her.

The temptation of obtaining his seed was too much for someone like her to resist.

Falling in love with him, however, was impossible. She was the type of woman who only loved herself. No man in this world could move her heart.

“Now, teach me the spells you used to break my test on the first floor,” she ordered.

“Look, teaching you won’t be difficult, but we need to address the language difference first. The spells I used to break your test—those were based on a completely different system and structure ”

She listened carefully. “So, you’re saying you’d need to learn the Arcane Arts in our continent first before you can teach me?”

“Yes,” He was more than willing to learn what he could about Arcane Arts.

Not only would it help him understand the portal better, but it would also allow him to absorb whatever knowledge she had to offer without missing a beat.

Lucia tilted her head, considering his words.

“Hmm… I can help with that. If you want to study Arcane Arts in-depth, I’ll give you access to the Repository.” She reached into her robe and pulled out a small, golden emblem.

“Are you just going to hand this to me?”

“Yes. That place just looks amazing on paper, but someone of our caliber would find all the content there useless.”
