Everyone had their own position in society, which meant that they had their own personal relationships and social responsibilities.
Meanwhile, descenders had their own positions in both worlds. Some of them were active and worked hard to manage their own businesses in both worlds. It was as if they had two lives.
However, a person's energy and time were limited. It was unrealistic to constantly move between two worlds. Most descenders would give up on their lives and relationships in Aishi after reaching a certain level, and treat Ansorenne as their true reality.
More than seventy percent of descenders would eventually settle down in Ansorenne, get married, have children, and support their families.
This was a double limitation of energy and resources. It was also a normal choice for intelligent lifeforms that needed to rely on society to survive. After all, there would be returns for their efforts. Simultaneously maintaining two families in two different worlds … Although some people had indeed done this before, they never had a good ending.
However, Rorschach didn't give up on his plans in Aishi. After all, his situation was far too unique.
Apart from the fact that he was a member of the Game Church, which meant that he couldn't give up on worldly affairs, it was also out of practical considerations. Studying and accumulating knowledge in Aishi would be very helpful to his growth.
"… Will the growth of two different physical bodies ultimately lead to a split in the soul? Let's talk about it after the split. Two lives, two physical bodies, and two similar yet different job paths that can be verified. This is necessary in order to quickly become stronger. "
Perhaps the reason he was able to reach where he was today was because of his stubbornness. The sky wasn't even completely bright yet, but Rorschach had already finished his morning training … From an outsider's perspective, perhaps it would be more accurate to call him fighting.
"… Let's stop here for today. We'll continue tomorrow morning."
At some unknown point in time, Rorschach had already gotten used to going from one battlefield to another. He was also used to enjoying the "fake peace" in Aishi. His daily life on Earth was so peaceful that it made him feel bored. It was like a dream.
"Ha, you want to run away after winning? Even this time, we had seven wins, four losses, and two draws. I was completely in the upper hand. As a man, don't you want to win back? "
On the other side of the battlefield, Ariel licked her lips with the tip of her tongue. Her beautiful curves after her transformation, coupled with her ambiguous expression of unsatisfied desire, should have been very interesting, but it was ruined by her yellow vertical dragon eyes that were filled with battle thirst.
The surroundings were already filled with shattered metal shards. Trenches and sword marks tore the ground into pieces of crumpled paper. In less than half an hour, the battle between the two had completely destroyed this area.
Although she was covered in wounds, she didn't seem to feel anything at all. The tall and beautiful dragon lady was just like a bloodthirsty mother beast. Her eyes were glowing with a strange light … as she stared at Roxia's vitals, Roxia's sense of danger never stopped.
But Rorschach put away his blade.
"Let's do it tomorrow. We're not in good condition now. If we don't hold back, we'll get hurt easily. What's more, the duration of your transformation is almost up. Don't tell me you can transform a second time in a day? "
"…"
Ariel seemed to want to say something, but she choked and couldn't say anything.
Rorschach urgently needed an opponent to practice with, so naturally, he wouldn't let go of Ariel who delivered herself to his doorstep.
Two years ago, when the two of them fought, Ariel's individual strength was obviously superior, but Rorschach won the battle.
Losing so miserably in front of so many people exposed Ariel's lack of psychological and practical experience, which directly caused Ariel's evaluation in the Elf Faction to drop. Losing to a weakling was probably one of Ariel's darkest memories.
Now that they were able to spar, not only would it be a chance for them to wipe away their humiliation, but it would also be a chance for them to learn from each other. Ariel immediately agreed.
Even if it was a battle, both sides were still full of schemes. After all, there were many problems with their "alliance" relationship. If the Nature Faction and the Elf Faction were to fight again, both sides would immediately become enemies. And even if there weren't any conflicts between the factions, the relationship between the Silver Elves and the Game Church wasn't good. In the future, they could still become opponents or enemies.
Even so, the two of them were close in age and strength, and both of them had a dual job class that specialized in both magic and martial arts. They were still considered rare opponents.
Thus, sparring meant that both sides had to learn and grow, as well as preserve their trump cards for the "future". Then, they could test out their opponent's strength and trump cards.
The result was that winning or losing didn't matter as much. Ariel won more often than not. Apart from having an advantage in pure strength, the main reason was that she got carried away easily. If she wasn't careful, she would be forced to use her trump card by Rorschach … and then, Rorschach would simply admit defeat.
The result was that every time she won, Ariel would smile and think about it carefully. Then, she would become annoyed, but she would still fall for it the next time.
And even if she didn't fall for it this time, Rorschach's casual question still caused little Ariel quite a bit of trouble. She didn't feel any joy as a victor at all.
"Could it be that you can transform a second time in a single day?"
Dragonform was Ariel's trump card back in the day. Before transforming, she was still a pure mage with decent skills. After transforming, she could crush knights in melee combat. Her dragon bloodline ability was truly as shameless as ever.
But Rorschach's casual question not only made Ariel unable to answer, she even stomped her feet in anger. She could only cancel her transformation and gradually return to her young girl form.
Rorschach's abilities were no longer a secret in Aishi. Ariel's ability to transform to the limit was definitely her trump card. And no matter if Ariel answered "yes" or "no", Rorschach would instantly know whether Ariel could transform multiple times in a single day.
Ariel covered her mouth and glared at Rorschach with an expression that said "I won't tell you even if you beat me to death". It seemed that she had improved after suffering a few losses … but it was still useless.
If Ariel was still only able to transform once a day, there was no need for her to hide it at all. In that case, she could transform at least twice a day. Perhaps she could transform for so long that she could even use it as a normal battle form.
Rorschach nodded silently and stuffed an apple into his mouth. He didn't want to accidentally say something that he shouldn't say and make the silly girl go berserk … Anyway, when she returned, even if she didn't think it through, her companions would tell her … In order to avoid being affected by her outburst, it was better to stay away from her.
Unknowingly, Rorschach looked at Ariel with pity in his eyes … It had been two years, but this girl's intelligence hadn't improved at all.
But when he thought about it, he realized that he had taken it for granted. He had changed a lot in the past two years. He had changed a lot from inside out, so he had taken other people's progress for granted.
Rorschach was still different from Ariel. He was a mixed-blood between a long-lived species and a short-lived species. Even for half-elves, the short-lived species would mature once they reached adulthood, but they would still be youthful on the outside.
Meanwhile, Ariel seemed to be over 20 years old, but no matter if she was a dragon bloodline or a silver elf … if converted, she shouldn't be more than 10 years old for humans.
"… Tsk, she really is a legal little girl. I suddenly feel a little guilty for lying to a little girl."
Fortunately, his mouth was still full of broken apple, so the other party didn't understand what he was saying. Otherwise, this bad-tempered "little girl" would have fought Rorschach to the death again.
While chewing on the apple, Rorschach fell into deep thought.
If one was smart enough, their intelligence could be used to help them grow. If one's logical thinking was thorough enough, it could sometimes seem quite frightening.
However, emotional intelligence stemmed from social interactions and benefits. It needed to be trained with time and effort in society. Now that Ariel was out on her own, it was an incredibly difficult test, but it was also an opportunity for her to improve.
Rorschach recalled a saying. In the elven world, elves who hadn't experienced the outside world would never be viewed as adults who could take charge of their own affairs.
From the looks of it, perhaps the Silver Elves hadn't given up on the excellent "seed" in front of them. Perhaps this seemingly indulgent behavior was also a type of trial … It was targeted at Ariel's weakest mental state.
After all, mental state and personality could be trained. Although it would be difficult, the elves, who didn't know what time was, could afford to wait. However, there were some things that couldn't be saved. It would be a pity to give up on them. If one only looked at power level, this little girl before him was truly quite ridiculous …
"You're currently a rank 4 Legend? Or rank 5? Do you have a Heart Domain? "
He didn't expect an answer from the very start.
Ariel, who was covering her mouth, glared angrily at Rorschach before she suddenly flew away.
Rorschach, who had successfully chased Ariel away, now had some free time to himself as he wished. He began to organize his recent gains.
