God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

"Since all the hard feelings have disappeared. How about a nice toast to celebrate?" Abuela said as she stepped into the room, exiting with cans of juice.

For the next three hours straight, the group did nothing but drink can juices.

Eventually, Adrian turned into a fool who couldn't help laughing while lying on the ground.

The strange juice they were given was oddly effective, making Nolan feel his head become heavy.

Fortunately, he had been reserved during the small party and drank very little, allowing him to remain relatively clear-headed.

Still, his feet wobbled as he rose from the chair and made his way to the room.

The bed seemed more inviting to Nolan as he landed softly onto its surface.

He felt his bones cracking within him, and a small, satisfied moan escaped his lips.

"Huuu..." He exhaled loudly.

Suddenly, he felt a small sting in his trouser as his hand reached into his pocket and he pulled out the object responsible.

It was none other than the ring given to him by King Sammodra, a token of love from Lorlei's mother.

Looking at it, Nolan's buzzing head cleared a little, and he regained himself.

KNOCK KNOCK

The sound of knocking could be heard as Nolan turned to look at the door.

Before he could say a word, the door was immediately kicked open, and stepping in was no one other than the person who made Nolan's expression drop.

"It's you again!" he said, looking at the green-haired girl.

Of course, she was none other than Gaia.

"Disappointed?" Gaia asked as Nolan nodded.

"Yes, I am..."

"Who were you expecting before?" Gaia said with a mocking tone as she skipped to Nolan's side, landing on his bed, and looked at him with puppy eyes.

"It seems someone has never been harmed before..." Nolan mused with furrowed eyebrows as Gaia grinned devilishly.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because you're too jumpy around men."

"If you've seen how much of a horror a man can be, you wouldn't be so comfortable..." Nolan replied as Gaia rolled her eyes at him.

"You'll be surprised..." she said, as she then looked at Nolan's hand and found the earring.

"Thinking of using an earring?" She asked him as she swiftly took the earring from his palm, and Nolan ended up closing his hand to nothing.

"Let me help you with it," she said as she skied to his left ear.

"Don't move your head, you idiot. I might hurt you..." she said holding Nolan's head in place before slowly inserting the earring into his ear.

There was no hole in Nolan's ear before, causing him to feel quite a bit of pain when the earring was put in.

However, a cool aura quickly came in, clearing away the pain as she inserted the earring into his ear.

Nolan guessed the source of the coolness was Gaia's hand, which was emitting a special green aura.

"You can heal others?" he asked as Gaia giggled.

"My thorns don't just rip apart things. They can patch them back up too..." she said to him as Nolan was reminded of the strange thorny roots Gaia used in her battles.

It was shocking that she could use them to heal as well.

Silence reigned for a while with Gaia healing Nolan's ear and placing the earring well.

Before long, she suddenly asked, "You still

Nolan's eyebrows furrowed. "Do I really know you?" he asked her.

He couldn't imagine the former Nolan knowing a godly ten personally before. I

f he did, he shouldn't have died

with absolutely no one coming to his aid or even caring.

"Yeah, you do. Pretty well..." she whispered back, and Nolan once again felt her playful emotions disappearing.

Very rarely did Gaia reveal this side of herself, but Nolan had been able to notice it twice now.

The first time was when she had asked him seriously if he really knew her, and the second time was now.

Soon, she finished with Nolan's earring and sat down on his bed.

It was now clear to him that there was something on her mind that was really bothering her, and it seemed she needed to tell him something.

[ASK!] The system advised.

"Tell me something, Gaia..." Nolan called out this time seriously as he looked intensely into her green eyes.

"Yes?"

"What is our relationship?"

"What?" Gaia asked in shock as she looked at Nolan and saw he was serious.

Her initial attempt to laugh it off stopped immediately.

"I can tell you aren't just familiar to me, Gaia. To everyone on this ship, when I first saw you, they thought I was just a boy who got luckily recommended for this mission."

"But you're different, Gaia. You might try to laugh things off and seem like the jumpy girl and all, but when you look at me, I can sense something wrong in your gaze."

"You know me, and you know me deeply."

"That, at least, I can tell, and the some of us on this ship can too."

"So tell me, what is it that I am forgetting?"

"Tell me about my past."

"Tell me why you cared in the cafeteria that day and why you warned me that there were people coming for me."

"Tell me..." Nolan asked, all the questions he needed to know about this mysterious girl that was begging for him to remember her.

He could see Gaia's change in aura as she looked down at the ground for a long while before raising her head to look at Nolan and taking an exceptionally deep breath.

"Okay, I'll tell you!"

"Everything?" Nolan asked.

"Yes. Everything..."

"Good, now let's resolve this once and for all..."

Nolan said to her, but also he had something in mind which he also wanted to resolve once and for all and that was none other the quest that had been given to him by the system the first day which he had met Gaia in the cafeteria that night.
