Strongest Necromancer System Chapter 1130: Not Good Enough
Previously on Strongest Necromancer System...
"You’ve been training for hours every day, haven’t you? When last did you get a proper night’s rest?"
Jason huffed and said it was fine.
"I don’t need a lot of sleep to function. If you’re so worried, you can help me get some sleep tonight."
But Gina and Agiel blushed when they saw the suggestive look on Jason’s face, and Agiel hit Jason on the shoulder and called him a pervert! Jason just laughed in amusement, and Agiel’s cheeks reddened even more! The three of them had been sneaking away and having so much sex recently that it was insane, and Agiel was happy since she knew that the sex helped Jason to relax. When Jason first came back from his fight against th Apostles, Jason would’ve never joked like this, so Agiel was glad to see Jason smiling again!
Agiel turned and began walking into the mansion to have dinner, and Jason watched her ass swaying in her uniform for a few seconds before he turned as Gina grabbed his arm to pull him inside.
"Come on, babe. We’ll have time for fun later. Let’s go eat first."
Jason chuckled when he heard this, and he allowed Gina to pull him along as they entered the mansion. Behind them, Stella followed at a calm pace while trying to hide her own blush from the images that had entered her head.
....
That day, both Cerci and Juliet had come around to the Marc Mansion to have dinner with the family. Jason had invited them over because he wanted to hear about the things happening both in his Guild as well as in the government. Jason had left Cerci and Juliet in charge of their respective organisations because he believed they were skilled enough to handle things in his absence, but that didn’t mean he was going to allow them to do whatever they wanted without them reporting back to him.
"So there’s a shortage of slots for the superhuman children?"
Jason said this while taking a plate of food that Gina handed to him, and Cerci nodded calmly. Jason sat at the head of the long table with Gina and Agiel on either side of him. Cerci was sitting on Agiel’s left side, and Juliet was sitting opposite Cerci. Stella was busy dishing out meals for all the other people at the table, but Gina was helping Jason with his food since she liked doing it for him.
Juliet spoke up from the side.
"There’s been a massive increase in the number of superhuman children awakening recently. I think it’s because of how much mana is in our atmosphere. We’ve built new facilities, but their numbers are ridiculous."
It was no longer news to anyone that the number of mages in a world was heavily dependent on how much mana was in the atmosphere of the world. The fact that Earth had seen a sudden rise in the number of TITAN Rank superhumans, as well as Jason’s insane mana level, meant that the mana in the atmosphere had risen very sharply! Right now, Earth had more mana in its atmosphere than most of the worlds parallel to it! So it was pretty normal for the number of awakening children to also rise.
Jason hummed and said:
"Can’t we just convert some of the regular schools into Superhuman academies? We can incorporate regular academia into the superhuman training and increase the time they spend in the superhuman academy."
Cerci nodded.
"Yes, we thought of that as well. We proposed it to the education board, but the government and some parents are pushing back against it since they believe we are planning to neglect the non-awakened children."
Agiel scoffed.
"That’s stupid. It’s only the sheep that will try to give preference to the weakest members of society."
Cerci huffed slightly at the statement, and Jason chuckled in amusement. Even though Agiel had changed a lot since they formed their Soul Bond, she had never been able to get over her hatred for ’sheep’. It had led to some very interesting situations over time.
At the side, Juliet looked from Agiel to Jason with a slightly curious expression on her face before she turned back to her meal and continued to eat again. There was a strange pain somewhere in Juliet’s chest that just wouldn’t go away no matter how much she wanted it to. At first, Juliet honestly didn’t know what that pain was, but it didn’t take long for her to realise that it was jealousy. Juliet wouldn’t sit here and say that she was the most attractive woman in the world, but Juliet knew she was beautiful. And for the longest time, Juliet honestly believed that she had a chance to get Jason to look at her.
Juliet and Jason worked together a lot, and she had tried on many occasions to show him that she was open to being with him intimately, but Jason had never given her a second glance. Juliet thought that this was just because Jason was no longer interested in getting another girl in his life since he already had Gina, Riyala, and Hesabeth, and Juliet was willing to accept that. But the fact that Jason had taken Agiel as his girl as well was a blow that Juliet did not expect at all. It had been so shocking when Juliet found out that she couldn’t work at all for a full day because of it! Was Juliet just not good enough for some reason? Or maybe it was because she wasn’t a superhuman. Juliet obviously didn’t know what the answer to both questions was, and although Juliet was trying to get over it now, she didn’t know if that was possible.
"-liet. Juliet, can you hear me?"
"HUH!?"
Juliet suddenly jolted as she realised that Jason had been calling her name, and she looked around to see that everyone was looking at her. Juliet blushed in embarrassment and quickly apologised.
"S-Sorry, I was spacing out for a moment. What is it?"
Jason hummed.
"I was asking how the EDF has been faring. I haven’t heard news from them in a while."
Juliet nodded immediately, and she told Jason that the EDF were doing fine.
"We recently sent out a convoy to a world in the Eastern Corridor that was going through a crisis because of the recent evacuation. Apparently, there was a land dispute between two parallel worlds, and it almost led to a massive inter-world war. We sent three TITAN Ranks to deal with it. A member of the Monarch Alpha Squad is acting as the leader."
Juliet explained how the dispute was being handled and what the Elder worlds were doing about it, and she also told Jason what the other superhumans were doing across the domain. Yuslev was currently in a world called Freala, taking care of a small mercenary group that was trying to rise up there, and Francis was in a world just parallel to Earth, taking care of a trade dispute along with some other superhumans.
Juliet smiled slightly as she added.
"Francis asked me not to send him too far away because he’s trying to stay close to home. He didn’t tell me the reason, but I think it’s because of Janet."
Jason huffed when he heard this, and he smiled in amusement when both Gina and Juliet made cute noises. The relationship between Francis and Janet had been progressing really well lately, and Jason could tell that the two of them were already taking things very seriously. Since Janet was still working at the Monarch guild, they both spent a lot of time together, and from what Jason heard, Janet was trying to work on her superhuman licence so she could get clearance to travel across worlds with the other members of the EDF. Jason just hoped the relationship worked out for both of them.
