Era of Players: Death God

Chapter 23: Jealousy, Envy



Noah, Arthur, Aid, Lilith, and the Dual Mage.

\'\'I see, that\'s good. The rest should be at Level I\'m right?" Ela asked the rest of the class and they nodded. She was pleased with her studt\'s progress.

\'I\'m blessed with exceptional studts this year. I\'m looking forward to how they will grow.\'

Ela looked at her studts one by one making them feel pressured. This lasted for a few seconds before she smiled.

\'\'Now let\'s talk about Practical Combat Class."

Noah\'s eyes gleamed, he couldn\'t wait for them to start. The prospect of earning gold coins from the system was too appalling to not be excited.

Ela noticed Noah\'s unusual excitemt and attributed it to the feeling of wanting to test his newfound strgth. She shook her head and chuckled.

\'\'You know there are differt types of Players, Combat type, and Support type. And because we have those two types we will divide the class for a better practical combat class.\'\' Ela announced and those with the support type heaved a sigh of relief.

Previously they had be worried about how to face the combat-type players with their support\'s type skills.

\'\'Combat\'s type players are divided into Close range, Short range, and Long range. Both have their shortcomings and we will not talk about this. Maybe later, I\'ll d my lecture here today and leave your next teacher to come. It\'s the magic theory class, those who didn\'t have magic-related class can leave and go prepare for tomorrow\'s Practical combat class.\'\'

Ela stopped and observed her studts before flashing them a smile.

\'\'I\'ll see you tomorrow. Stay healthy until th.\'\' She immediately departed shortly after.

Noah stood up and was about to leave wh Lilith stood before him again.

\'\'Sigh! What do you want?" He helplessly asked.

Aid bit his thumb, frustrated that Lilith always looked for Noah not him. He wondered what Noah had that he didn\'t. Well, he is a bit handsome and his backg is not bad but that\'s all. Aid believed in himself to be more handsome, he had an extremely powerful backg, and he was more complete so he believed he was the one to deserve Lilith\'s atttion.

While Aid was fuming with jealousy, all eyes were on Noah and Lilith.

Arthur was chuckling arms akimbo. He was about to watch a drama only popcorn was missing to make it perfect.

Noah glared at Arthur making the latter\'s smile wid.

He could only sigh and look at the culprit before him.

\'\'So what do you want?" He asked again and Lilith stared at him as if she couldn\'t understand.

\'\'Why are you leaving? I thought your class was magic-related.\'\' Lilith finally expressed her doubt.

Noah finally understood what this was about.

\'\'I\'m not sure. I\'ll know in the future for now I have something else to do.\'\' Noah shrugged his shoulders.

\'\'What is more important than attding the magic lecture ?" Lilith was interested in the reason why Noah wanted to skip class apart from not knowing whether his class was magic-related or not.

\'\'It is personal,\'\' Noah responded before bypassing Lilith. Those wishing for more sighed upon seeing this but just as Noah was about to pass the door he stopped, no he was forced to a stop by Lilith\'s following stce.

\'\'I would like to talk to you privately somewhere calm, is that possible?"

Noah\'s instinctual response was to refuse but he managed to control himself and responded positively.

\'\'Sure, why not, I wanted to talk to you too. We will schedule a date.\'\'

\'\'Wow!"

\'\'Did you hear that?\'\'

\'\'She just invited him, right?\'\'

\'\'It is a date. Wow! Lucky him.\'\'

Whispers started flying here and there, Arthur smiled satisfied with this. Two other people showed satisfaction, it was Francesca and Ilya. They ev clapped their hands together as they cheered for their frid who made the first step.

However, while most reactions toward the ongoing drama were positive ones, there was someone else whose reaction wasn\'t a positive one. Naturally, it was Aid whose face had turned livid at the momt, he clched his fists so tightly that some of his nails bore into his skin drawing a small blood but he didn\'t care.

\'Damn you, Noah, if only you wer\'t there. Damn you. I don\'t like you.\' He kept mumbling this like a mantra. Aid\'s jealousy was appart to all to see.

Jealousy eats you up from within until you are a zombie corpse, feasting on the hive mind.

Jealousy is oft an expression of insecurity and thus its fixing requires internal reflection and addressing matters of self-esteem.

Aid was not only jealous, he was vious of Noah\'s position within Lilith\'s heart.

Envy is a vice. After all, it poisons the soul, because it can never come from a loving heart. And this is what the philosophy of love teaches, that wh love is our supreme first principle, all must stem from it, flow from it, and be connected to it.

Aid did know, no it was more accurate to say he didn\'t care, only what he wanted mattered. He forgot to take into consideration the time these two spt together to build up their currt relationship.

If you vy one who reaches a mountain top and yet does not vy the blood and sweat it took to climb there, perhaps you can transform it into a loving form of respect. They earned it, right?

Aid had much to learn, fortunately, he didn\'t let the negative emotions cloud his judgmt, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm down.

\'This is just the start, I show you who\'s the best fit for you. I\'ll make you only look at me.\'

Aid vowed inside his heart.

\'\'Okay, that\'s settled th.\'\'

\'\'Hmm!" Lilith nodded and her expression had somehow mellowed which shocked many but Aid who had closed his eyes didn\'t witness this.

Noah was shocked inwardly but didn\'t let it show on his face as he passed the door, he had no idea Aid was seeing him as a love rival.

Arthur signed regrettably, he wanted to see more drama, wondering if Aid would have stepped forward to claim what he yearned for.

\'\'School\'s life is indeed fun and this is just the beginning. Hehehe! I\'m looking forward to the future.\'\'

He sounds so creepy at the d like an old man, fortunately, nobody heard him.

The classroom regained its calm and soon a middle-aged man with a Blue ls silver monocle walked in. The teacher for the magic theory class had arrived.
