Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 243 [Bonus ] Magic vs Abilities

"Huh? You want me to teach you magic?"

"Yes," Rudy nodded.

"But you can already use magic. You can use wind, fire, gravity, and much more magic."

"Uhh… that's not magic. That's more like my esper abilities. And it's not gravity magic, it's telekinesis, a form of my ability," he stated.

"They look awfully familiar to the lost magic, though. Your flying ability is also considered lost magic. But of course, the vampires, dragons, and fairies can fly using their wings.," Jane asserted and added, "And what about your super strength? It's also similar to the lost magic, which was known to harden and buff a person to the maximum body limit."

"Hmm…" Rudy hummed in wonder and muttered, "That's strangely accurate. But I gained powers… no, I already thought about this before. And I am pretty sure that the gene experiment has nothing to do with my powers."

"How did you gain such powers anyway? You didn't have them three months ago," Jane asked curiously.

After a brief silence, Rudy nodded and uttered, "I guess I should tell you everything. I was planning to tell everything to you and Rias at the same time."

Rudy opened his mouth to reveal everything to Jane, but he thought it would be better to show her instead of telling as that would clear her doubts without her needing to ask them.

"I will share my memories with you," he said and moved his face close to Jane.

Jane closed her eyes and covered her lips to receive a kiss.

'I wasn't going to kiss her, but only touch her. But since she is puckering her lips like that, I will have to kiss her,' Rudy uttered inwardly.

Rudy kissed her and shared his memories, but as there were too many fragments of his memories, the kiss lasted long, longer than they ever kissed.

After 30 minutes of kissing, Rudy stopped to look at her, only to see her eyes full of tears.

"You suffered so much…" she sniffed and hugged him as she said, "My suffering is nothing compared to yours."

Rudy hugged her back and said, "Come on, you are exaggerating."

"Now I understand why you have a harem. Not going to lie, I was against it at first when you mentioned you had a harem, but I had no right to stop you. I am but an extra in your harem, so I was happy to be a part of it. But now, I am glad I am a part of it," she said calmly while hugging Rudy.

"Welcome aboard then…"

"There are so many things I want to ask you, but I am truly glad that I met you. If you hadn't entered my life, I would have remained the same even after the thousand years to come. So I cannot thank you enough for falling in love with me and making me fall in love with you."

"But of course, all the credit goes to Rias as she was the one who found you," she added with a smile.

"That's true. If I hadn't met Rias… or rather… if I hadn't gone to the house that day… I would have never learned about Rias' or the vampires' existence. I would have lived a normal life without learning the truth about the world," he asserted.

Rudy may not seem bothered by learning new things, but he was actually anxious. It was the same feeling as reading or watching something after reading the spoilers. It gave a different feeling altogether.

"Just like how I did in my past life…" he muttered.

Jane caressed Rudy's face and asked, "Do you think the same thing had happened in your past life? Or rather, your previous world?"

Rudy nodded and said, "I am pretty sure. But the only difference was that I never cared to know more or notice the obvious clues in front of me."

"So in that world, you never came to rescue Rias, and we never fell in love with each other…" Jane shuddered and hugged herself tightly as she uttered, "I don't even want to imagine what kind of life I would have lived."

"It's okay. You have no reason to worry about my previous world. And I am also trying my best not to let it affect me," he said with a wry smile on his face.

"But the question remains the same. How did you get your powers?" Jane wondered.

"Yeah. But I think I will find out the answer soon enough. Now that I have learned about the magical and fantasy worlds, I bet I would at least find clues behind my powers," he asserted confidently.

"Maybe you should consult grandma about this? She is one of the few oldest vampires to ever live. She has seen many generations and lived through various disasters and calamities. She also started traveling around the vampire world to learn more secrets. And I personally think she is the most knowledgeable person you would ever meet," Jane uttered in a solemn voice.

"You know… the person you described and the person I met in the office were nowhere near each other," he scoffed softly.

"How old is she anyway?" he asked curiously.

"I am not sure…" she replied awkwardly.

"Fair enough." Rudy nodded. "Even in the human world, I don't think one remembers their grandparents' age. And here she is, your great-grandma, who has obviously lived for over 2000 years since Virgil is that old. So I don't blame you for not remembering it."

"Putting that aside, why did you want me to teach your magic?" she asked with a curious yet puzzled look on her face.

"Since I showed you my memories, you should know about Angelica, right?" Rudy asked to confirm.

"Yeah. The ghost girl, who is a crazy pervert."

"She is going to get angry if you call her that. But anyway…" He let out a weary sigh and uttered, "She is currently stuck inside my body. I cannot hear her, but she can see and hear everything happening outside. And she can't come out of my body either."

"Oh…"

"I am suspecting it's due to different frequencies or energy of this world. Do you think you can help me out?"
