This was somewhat of a hassle, Elizabeth wasn't quite sure how to deal with this, Akira and Michael weren't that much of a problem, well Akira was kinda of a problem, but she could deal with that. Rena?
Yeah, that was a whole of worms that she didn't want to deal with, but the more she learned about it, the harder her stomach recoiled at the idea of what the Girl must have passed. Half of the skills she had weren't something anyone sane would piot that Akira was aer...for another reason.
"Thank you for the hard work, please remain and update me in case Rena's life is in danger...please do not rey more reports as detailed as this one unless I ask for it." Elizabeth sent toward the two scouts that stayed with Akira and Rena.
"Now, how do I deal with this..." Mumbled the blonde girl as she gave the information another read.

Akira was what you could expect from a [Hero], bat skills, stamina skills, restraining and bat spells, and he even had the stupid magic skill shift on there, so he could get his bat form at the ready.
Then the general skill showed up...and if that wasn't enough the title skills... The st ones were the problem, and it robably the reason he didn't seem to mind that much his charisma stat. He had a skill in solving that for him already.
This also settled most of her doubts about the true nature of his retionship with Rena, and brought some extra doubts as for his retionship with the girls around him.
She did notice him speaking with irls around and some rumors about him from the irls in their grade (Mostly gossip gotten when Rossie wasn't around her, as the other students kept staying away from her lovely girlfriend).
There weren't pints about him, not really. But the irls had noticed how much others acted after going on dates with him, the girls iion sang praises of him, but never spoke about details, it was taken mostly as they not wanting to reveal their hand. They were quite vocal about his [Prowess] but that was about it, no specific of how the date went, or where they ate. Nor what they did.
She now believed that the girls didn't remember or couldn't vocalize it, if that [Sver] skill was something to go by. How did he even mao keep that after [Mother] implemented her divine order?
Did...did he somehow coerce his victims into accepting it?
That wasn't the problem, nor how had the main problem she found herself in, no. It was Rena, god damned Rena.

She had some problems with this, again her skill set wasn't that weird for a swordsman, or swordswoman in this case. She had quite the good sele of skills, and was somehow ten whole levels above the [Hero].
No that wasn't the problem, the problem where the skills. Most of them had an X instead of a level, which as far as she was ed meant that they couldn't be leveled or were at the level cap. inally she thought they may have a level cap at 10 or 20.
But seeing some above that made her think it may be at level 100.
Then she saw some of the skills Rena had and she decided that the X meant they wouldn't level up as they were at the best they could be. How could one achieve a skill level of 500? What kind of things did oo eo level up something like [Pain Immunity] to level 500?
And Strong Body? Regeion? How could you level Regeion if you had a [Strong Body], didn't this mean that you weren't hurt? And if you weren't hurt how did you mao feel pain?
What kind of life was Rena living? What kind of life did she live? And then it was her [General] list skills, she wouldn't say anything about the first noify-privacy skill, she had a variety of a skill that altered her body (Or should) too. But after that?
Disguise Injury? Slutty disposition? Blood repository? What kind of life did oo level a [Bed Teique] to such levels?
Blind Love? Perma Allegiance? wasn't that straight-up mind manipution? And of course LOYALTY.
Now at this point, she was half sure something was amiss, very very wrong in this girl's life. But the part settled any doubts, skills that she would have expected the girl to have, Sword Talent, enhanced reflexes, battle instincts, mental fortitude...all blocked.
Ara skill slots too, this girl had wasted 25 points? It shouldn't be, she didn't seem to be missing points, if her math was right she was getting the full 14 points like Rossie, Akira, and Michael.
So how?
And of course, she had more trash there, body and fluid manipution skills, she didn't even want to think what she would hose. A possible capped skill ieiques (She would not get these, no sir...probably) a fluid movement? What would she use that one for? And the spell shift skill...
She somehow mao get it to level 2 a a sed shift. And had a sed shift. She...didn't want to know what it was or how it looked, and made sure to transmit that to her shadow scouts. She was grateful for their effid swish to transmit all the information, a somewhat bad at rebuking said information.
But she wasn't sure if she would be able to trol herself if she khe full scope, she was having a hard time trolling herself right now, and she was staying her hand by the fact that Rossie was sleeping beside her.
And she didn't want to disturb the sleeping girl.
"Eli-Eli? Everything okay?" ...crap, she disturbed Rossie.
"Everything it's okay Rossie, go back to sleep, it's like....three in the m." Elizabeth said soothingly to the girl lying in the bed beside her.
Her lovely Rossie was dressed in a simple yet elegant light pink gown, her hair flowing freely into her fad on the dim light brought by the moon through their window, she could see her sleepy eyes trying to find the reason for the disfort she was feeling. At first, she wondered how had the girl noticed her distress, but that was quickly found when she felt her hand was being squished back.
She had grabbed the hand of Rossie while the information was being transmitted to her, and that in turn may have beeed her girlfriend while she was trying to sleep, 't be sneaky if you wake up your lover now you?
"...I'm sorry to wake you up Rossie, it's just...My experiment with the scout worked...I know what the problem is with Rena and Akira." Elizabeth said while grimag at that.
"Is it that bad?" Asked Rossie, the girl seemed either half asleep or totally disied in the problem, if she was in her usual mental state she would probably delude herself and think that Rossie was just half asleep.
That the pink-haired girl didn't mean anything bad by her attitude. But as she wasn't in her normal state of mind and couldn't help but look at the pink-haired girl for what it was, without the pink-tainted gsses of love.
Utter disi at the tributions of other people, pure curiosity and amusement at seeing her awake and worried, with some tinges of worry about how to react.
Yes, the usual standard behavior you would expect from a psychopath or an egoistic person. She was so used to the sweet and tender Rossie who seemed to be just happy to be around and who was lovely and sweet to her.
But it was okay, even with all of this, she was sure Rossie was showing more emotions each day, whatever damage she reincurred when fracturing her soul and ending in this state was healing, she was making sure of it...she would fix Rossie back.
She would.
"It was worse than I thought it could be, see for yourself," Elizabeth said while sharing the information her shadow scouts had sent.
"....oh...I see why that would make you worry, you are too good Eli-Eli." Rossie said while cradling Elizabeth's head into her chest. "Is at least Michael better?"
ht, she hadn't even started to see that o had she?
Might as well, "Let's see then what we have of [The Sage]." Elizabeth said while summoning the st status s of the report.

His three stages spell was there, but he was the most normal and average of all, she got exactly what she was expeg from the sage. The guy even had slot opens, like her... As if everything was fine and he had all the time in the world to fill them ter.
She felt sick, and angry at Michael. He was coasting life as if nothing was wrong in the world, and then he was near Rena? Walking past someone who robably living hell in private?
AND HE DID NOTHING?
She had dohing too.
She had felt the clues, she had felt her soul cry and want to go to her, want to tto someone as Akira was trying to dislodge himself from her. And she did nothing.
"That is very average yes." Her Rossie said bringing her back from the spiral she was driving herself in. "Did you see mihen too?"
"Huh? No? Why would I?" Elizabeth asked surprised at the question. "Isn't it private?"
" ...Eli-Eli...My lovely and adorable Eli-Eli, if you mao shis type of information with a skill that is barely leveled at all, why wouldn't you get all that you ? I would have checked everyone if I was you." Rossie said while streaking her hand through Elizabeth's hair as she caressed her head which was resting in Rossie's chest.
"I...I don't wan... I still have doubts if I did the same to you, even without meaning... I don't wanna find out." Elizabeth said while pressing her face against Rossie's chest, not wanting to see her looking at her. She wasn't sure how she looked right now.
Was she g? Was Rossie's eyes hiding a cry for help? A cry for release for hideous soul manipution?
Had she maniputed Rossie while she tried to rescue Elizabeth? The first Elizabeth? Not the one she was. Not the ohat was an amalgamation of other people.
"Oh, Eli-Eli...It's okay, trust me...Besides, you do o rest the doubts, lest they e you." The sweet voice of Rossie said and then, there it was.
The thing she didn't want to see bloomed into her closed eyes.

"....I hate you sometimes Rossie," Elizabeth said as she went through the list that materialized in front of her.
The status was...okay, nothing weird. Unlike Michael or herself, she noticed Rossie also had stockpiled her status as much as possible. She had all the skills slots used and really, very few skills weren't leveled.
Shift was one of those, but she had just gottehing a few days ago...ht, she got the thing a few days ago. Did...Did Rossie have to ge her shift? But it was the same when she used it the other time?
No, Elizabeth. Don't distract yourself!
She focused again on reading it as she listeo the soothing sound of Rossie's heart, god, was her chest fortable.
FOCUS!
"Love you too Eli-Eli ?" Rossie said without shame, Elizabeth could feel the vibrations travel from her torso and the words resonated within her. She had found her favorite spot.
No problematic skill there, no evidence of any type of skill that wasn't something Rossie could use, she worried why some of her title skills were blocked though.
And had trouble with some levels of those skills too...What kind...
"Rossie? Why do you have skills on the hundred levels?" Elizabeth asked, trying to not think too much, "[Appraisal]"
And also took the ce to use her own skill to pare the results, she felt the mana wave suffuse the pink-haired girl and sure enough, she got another blue s with simir information.
"Good Eli-Eli, always firm. There is no way to cheat the information on a blue s, but is better to be sure. The [System] doesn't allow us to create fakes, but it allows us to hide information, well you distort the truth somewhat if the level difference is too big. But at that level, no one pierce the [Privacy] skill." Rossie said as she took a deep breath, "I have skills leveled that much because I used them often st year, nothihere. You use a skill it levels, the better you use the more proficy they earn."
"You spammed [Blessing] and [Sanctification]? Worked so much that even with [Endless Stamina] you looked harried when I woke up?" Elizabeth's voice betrayed her as she heard herself just choke up a little i half.
"...I had someohat needed all the help possible, so yes. I used [Blessing] so much that it became sed nature for the skill to be active, I was thinking of ditg it and just using the [Spell] if needed...But the skill does have its perks. As for [Sanctification]...My [Wards] are good, but something empowered by the [System] work quite well." Rossie expined while she felt the mana in the air surrounding them move and she felt the familiar feeling of warmth flood her.
Oh...It wasn't just the mana or [Heal] magic that gave her the warm fort, it was Rossie's [Blessing].
"As for [Endless Stamina], well, it was too useful to ignore, and before you think too much of yourself. I leveled that alone in my free time, it had nothing to do with you Young Lady." She couldn't help but ugh, Elizabeth ughed eve was a serious moment.
She couldn't imagine what kind of thing would require Rossie so much stamina alohat would help level it that much, but if she wao py it like that, she would respect her decisions.
"Now, I uand those, what I 't uand is...Why do you not level [Diviervention], [Oracle], [Purification]?" Elizabeth asked if those sounded important.
"I don't trust gods...No offeo [Odyssey] or [Framework], I still remember how [Odyssey] helped me with Akira's fragment or whatever it was she took. But I will not bow myself to ahat cims himself a god unless it's you Eli-Eli." Rossie said with barely tained rage. "Not after what [He] made me do uhat fake promise."
Oh...She got the feeling that perhaps, only perhaps, Rossie may need some therapy too, maybe they could go to couple's therapy?
Was that a thing?
"So I never used [Diviervention] nor [Oracle], I 't remove them either. Same with the [Saint's Skills] they depend on a [God] to supply the divine mana. I did think about it you know...To sell my [Soul] to our new gods and ask for a [Diviervention]. But...I couldn't. I kept thinking what if they cheat me out again and send someone else? Sorry Eli-Eli, you may have woken up faster if I did." Rossie apologized to her.
She took a peek at the face of her girlfriend leaving the safety of Rossie's chest and saw a few tears in her eyes, "No Rossie, it's okay. I uand you, even after all of that, I wouldn't trust any [God] either. Well, I do trust [Mother] and [Father], but I wouldn't want them peeking 24/7 on us either. So it's better as is." Elizabeth saw a small smile on the pink-haired face.
It seemed that she still found it amusing how she referred to their new resident gods, but what could she do? They were her [Parents]...She o fix that o was getting annoying.
"Yes yes, so...Anything else we o discuss at three in the m?" Rossie asked.
Elizabeth took this time to rest her head ba her pillow (A normal one, not Rossie's chest...dang it). "Don't think so, I do want to try and talk to [Mother] about this annoying filter. So maybe we could go to her church?"
"...[The Churagic]...Okay, we do that. Yes, just... Don't get your hopes high, not many have mao acquire an [Oracle], and there are quite the amount of people with the [Skill] or wanting to get the [Skill] in those churches." Rossie said as she o herself.
Did...Did Rossie hate that church?
"I go alone if you want? I doubt [Mother] would mind it, besides if she wao she would have spoken to me already right? Maybe it will be a wasted trip..." Elizabeth tried to backpedal her decisiht. Rossie had said her distaste fods...
"No no, it's okay Eli-Eli. My problem isn't with the church, or with [Odyssey] and [Framework] they weren't the ohat tried to cheat me. It's... Just promise me that you will not think I cheated on you okay?" The pink-haired girl said and immediately afterwards she hid herself with the b.
Curses, she escaped!
"I would hink that Rossie," Elizabeth said while hugging the pink-haired girl from the back.
She wao escape from her? Hah!
She wouldn't let this girl run away, not after she made herself su importaure of her life, if not for her. What would Elizabeth have done?
Had she found Rena's situation and no one was around to calm her?
Would had she fly in a rage and teleport to Akira's room to rescue her?
Would had she succeded?
From a pure stat points...No, she would not. She was almost 100 points behind Akira and Rena doubled her total amount alone. She would have probably died.
If not for her scouts sneaking the activation of her skill in the most precise moment during their night activities...
God why had they even started rep what they were doing, now she wanted some a too...Obviously not as depraved as what Akira was doing to Rena, but...
"Eli-Eli ??" Rossie asked with a sultry tone of voice.
What?
*squish*
"Oh...Sorry Rossie, am eepy. My hand moved alone, GOOD NIGHT!" Elizabeth almost overextended herself!
CURSE YOU AKIRA!
...She o meet Rossie's parents. How long could she hold herself?
...Disgusting, Rena was suffering right now and she wanted some a?
Maybe she o get her head checked too, IF she decided to save Rena, she would do it because it was right, not to get some a free of guilt in the night.
[Mother] better give her some options tomorrow, or she will not get anything at her birthday.
