Chapter 20: Academy in Diablo
Christel woke up naturally. She felt cold on her face, but under the blanket she felt comfortable. A soft-skinned body but a scent of sweat and earth.
Opening her eyes, Christel noticed the strange ceiling. Then, after half a second of her brain fully activating, Christel stretched as she finished waking up.
The first thing he did was review the results of his experiment.
'The canvas is gone. The ring is inside my fist and . . . Yes, the amulet is on my chest.'
"Christel 🜂🜔🝔□▢▷⊿ ◦◦◦"
"Oh~ Good morning Jaina" Christel greeted the girl who was sleeping next to her and had just woken up by her movements.
The two girls came out from under the furs that served as a blanket. Christel felt a cold penetrating her skin, and this cold brought her a problem that is very common in the morning when she wakes up. The need to go to the bathroom.
Christel dressed in the priestess' robe, covering her new pajamas and her white skin, Christel noticed that her body was clean and showered, so she can be sure that it is her real body that travels between the worlds and not a clone or a projection.
Christel, putting on the socks that Akara gave her, since the others that the warrior girls gave her were dirty and stained with blood, watched as Jaina also dressed in her leather armor.
'The sanctuary world may not have made progress in other things, but there are definitely technological advances in shoemaking' Christel knows that in any civilization, no matter the world, foot protection is essential, comfortable socks and solid boots are the difference between life and death.
Christel, having less to wear, waited for Jaina to finish, and it was not said how the entrance to the tent was unlocked last night. And so, after Jaina opened the -door- Christel felt a shock of severe coldness.
'My goodness, this must be around 5 degrees Celsius'
Outside, it was still dark, but Christel could already see the activity of the camp awakening. She didn't know if Akara had already gotten up, but Jaina, without saying anything, just took her by the hand and led her to the archers' area. In a large bonfire, with the help of some logs working as posts and a crossbar, hung a black pit where the girls put ingredients.
Christel doesn't care what the ingredients are, if people eat it, it's because it's edible. Although Christel rarely finds things she doesn't like, she has always eaten everything.
Hygiene aside, Christel stood to the side as Jaina left her to help with the cooking. Many female warriors waved as they watched Christel with scrutiny, the girls from the raiding party approaching her with more enthusiasm. It seems that for now, with Akara's background investigation report, Camp Rogue can trust her.
"...How did you sleep girl"
"Oh~ Leader, I slept well thank you, although a little cold, by the way, I'm a man..."
Christel smiled at the woman who was over 170 centimeters tall, she was the leading warrior girl who led the small raid group to attack the evil cave.
"Heh~ In this place if you want to be the man and marry many wives, you have to first have the strength to say it and do it, for now you are a little girl and if I want I can be the one to take you as a wife..."
"Ha? What? 'Marrying wives, me taken as a wife, what is this woman talking about? And what kind of camp is this!?'
"...Using the contract stone is very tiring, after eating learn with Akara or get your own stone"
Afterwards, the leading warrior girl took Christel by the waist with her hands and gave her a long kiss.
"Aunt Akara said that you are in your fertile period, that she shouldn't see you alone without Jaina or…" Christel heard his whisper in her ear and felt a shiver run down her spine, her heart began to beat fast, remembering the events with Maria and the feeling that night brought her, although she doesn't want to admit it, somehow she feels somewhat frustrated. And with these words, Christel unconsciously tightened her legs.
"...You smell like a female"
"You..."
The leading warrior girl knows that she can't push too hard when it comes to these things, Kashya has taught her tricks for this and she wants to be like her, her Mother. And although at first she was suspicious of Christel, since it is almost impossible for a healthy and clean girl to appear in a place full of creatures from hell, but she likes her, her smell, her hair like the sun, which, although she has not seen it, she has heard that it is brighter than gold. So when she heard from Aunt Akara that Christel was being raised as a child heir to the family, she became even more interested, and the desire to want to conquer this girl as her wife was born.
The Rogues belong to the Brotherhood of the Sightless Eye, a group of dissident Askari formed around an artifact called the Sightless Eye . Eye )- which Akara dubs the "Great Eye." The Order was started over 100 years ago with the help of the Horadrim . As a group whose blood is primarily Amazon, their cult is like that of their sisters, with a female supremacy and matriarchy. People around the world of Sanctuary have always wanted to conquer these Amazons and later with the Rogues of the Sisterhood of the Blind Eye, with their strong military skills and their ease of use of bows, spears and polearms, they are a group that will raise the power of any faction that has them.
Many men have wanted to have these groups of women under their control, but they have always run into a wall; neither the Askari nor the Rogues have been conquered under any attack from any flank.
But there is a secret hidden in the blood, although the Askari have men in their society, the Rogues do not, and the merchant travelers who pass through the Rogue Camp Pass have always taken these women as sluts who only use men to obtain their seed and thus maintain their population. But the truth is that they do not.
When Christel arrived she saw a woman with a baby in her arms, a small group of girls playing around, pre-teens helping to clean, and Jaina who can't be more than 16 years old. If Andariel attacked the Monastery 20 years ago, where did this group of little future Rogues come from? And in 100 years, what has been their method of marriage?
"hehehe..."x4
Christel heard her raid group laughing sheepishly with one looking towards the leading war girl and three looking at Christel with strange eyes.
"My name is Alysha, learn to speak fast so we can talk longer..." And so, the leading war girl -Alysha- turned around without looking at Christel again and walked away.
"This girl...heh~" Christel had no choice but to shrug and laugh, Alysha's pickup skills are of the cold alpha CEO type, 'The person who taught her these pickup techniques in the social environment of the Sanctuary world, has very high skills' Christel thought without imagining that it was Kashya herself.
"Elly○◺△◁◯"
"▯◁Fiona□▱◯"
"◿□◹○◸Mahala"
"△▷◁□Shikha□□"
And so, their raiding party showed up as breakfast was being prepared. Jaina returned with two plates, while the girls went to get theirs. And so the meal went on as the girls talked without Christel fully understanding, except for one part where Jaina puffed out her cheeks angrily, clenched her fists and said some things while the others laughed. 'It seems they are telling her about the incident with Alysha...' Christel could only eat and ignore.
Later, a priestess came to find Christel, with signs that she should accompany her.
"Jaina, Fiona, Elly , Shikha and Mahala see you later." Christel said goodbye to the girls, mentioning their names to memorize who's who, and got ready to leave, when Jaina placed her hands on her cheeks and gave her a longer kiss than last night, Christel thought that was all when the other girls also approached and gave her quick kisses to Jaina's anger, who then ran away laughing with Jaina already condensing ice arrows in her hands and chasing them. By now there were more rogue women of different ages, and they all laughed at the commotion.
The priestess girl's face was red as she watched all this happen in front of her, and with a shrug, Christel motioned for her to return to the Akara area.
'Alysha huh~' Christel doesn't remember all the names of the rogues in the Diablo game, but she knows that there definitely wasn't an Alysha or a Jaina, and with their talents, they should at least appear as named NPCs like the elite guardian girl who watches over the bloody wasteland and the entrance to the Cold Plains . And Kashya, although she gave off the aura of being a serious and responsible woman, Christel didn't notice the cold Kashya with a closed heart and who sometimes spoke to the hero with sarcasm and cynicism. Kashya in the Diablo game occasionally comments on the Rogues' loss to evil, especially in the beginning before the hero goes to the evil cave and cleans it, saying that the place has swallowed up several sisters.
But when Christel traveled throughout the cave, she did not notice any signs of any rogues being killed there, and the rogue companions at that moment did not have a look of hatred or vengeance. Perhaps because of her arrival, these girls returned to the camp alive and Kashya did not become as cold as she did in the game.
'Moreover, Kashya, Alysha. Doesn't the name feel similar? And they are physically identical, aren't they mother and daughter? Or am I overthinking it?'
And so, while Christel was thinking that she can no longer talk to the cute little priestess girl in white attire like his, they arrived at the Akara area, let's call it now the -Spiritual Zone-.
Following the priestess girl, Christel entered the largest tent belonging to Akara, and found five other priestess girls around the same age as the girl who led her and Jaina. ' It seems to be Jaina's generation, but why another group of 6? Akara, don't you know that 6 is the number of the Devil, don't you know what world you're in? It's the world of the Devil!'
"Christel, I'll leave you these scrolls. You said you wanted to learn analysis magic and it's a very good idea. While you learn magic and the basic concepts, you can learn the common language. I'll leave you the contract stone in the magic matrix so you can study and ask the sisters what you don't understand. They're also studying healing and support magic. I have things to take care of at camp and I'll see you in the afternoon if you have problems with magic and its concepts."
"Thank you Sister Akara, and don't worry, I'll study hard, leave it to me!" Christel exclaimed, clapping her palm against her chest.
"Well, this scroll talks about the basics of magic and the divine energy of the world, this scroll is special, it is a training method of the Sightless Eye, and this scroll records the learning and casting method of the identification spell no wait, this is not, it is this, cough... well if you can, learn both, one is used to identify magic items and curses..."
And so, after explaining the last thing in a strange manner, Akara turned around, said a few things to her apprentice priestesses, and left in a hurry. What Akara didn't explain was that the cultivation method of the Sightless Eye was very special, requiring a kind and pure heart. If you have malice, you will never be able to learn this cultivation method. The second thing is that you have to be a woman. If you learn it, Akara is ready to reveal the truth of the requirements to you and see if you still claim to be a child.

"Sorry~, I'm not inside the Magic Matrix..." 'Well, with me you are a study group of seven, so I break the curse of number 6 like with the cave cleaning group'
And so, Christel began her academic years in the world of Diablo. Step one, learning the language.
