Cosmic Paragon-Chapter 78: Sophia.

It was only after she was done introducing herself that they all realized that Sophia was actually the Granddaughter of the Dean.

Sophia Ambrose, also had another title. She was the leader of Celestial Garden!

After a few more pleasantries the girls finally let down their guard a bit and invited Sophia to join them which she readily accepted.

"You don’t mind if I join you do you?" Sophia said smiling at Drake.

"Of course not. It’s not like I’m paying for it. Come please." Drake happily invited, he was in a really good mood right now.

"You know you really surprise me Drake."

"Oh, how so?"

"I saw the footage of you guys in the Fallen city, and I don’t understand how someone that can fight like you is in the Commander class. I’ve tried thinking of a reason, but it still baffles me. I still can’t put my finger on it."

"What can I say? I saw Enders game." Drake shrugged.

She chuckled she had also seen the movie Enders Game. She then asked "And the engineering course? Let me guess, you saw Power Rangers."

The Engineering course was something Drake had joined on a whim

"Nah, I saw Power Rangers as a kid, but when I grew up the spandex became a bit too much spandex for me. Then I saw Pacific Rim and Mecha Godzilla and I was hooked. Transformers was the icing on the cake. But the final nail to the coffin came when I saw Iron man VS Thanos."

"What happened?" Sophia asked as he had wanted.

Drake sighed, "I remember at the time, I went back and watched the whole iron man franchise, but then I sank into the world of Manga and there was no more saving me when I ran into guys like Generator Rex. By the time I was on my fifth Manga, I realized I was only left with a soul. It was at this point that I comprehended and confirmed my new path. Mecha Forever!"

"Mecha Forever!"

"Mecha Forever!"

"Mecha Forever!"

Several cries of cheering rang out coming from the twins, the Wolff Brothers and even Sophia herself. It seemed she herself had been captured by his nonsense.

The twins were surprised to see that even Sophia was cheering. But you couldn’t really blame it on her. She was a movie lover and it was her love for movies and the way that Drake seemed to know almost every movie ever made that drew her to him.

The twins, Sylvia and Cassandra were the only ones surprised by her reaction though. The Wolff Brothers were ignorant to this, they thought it was only normal to be passionate about something.

But one thing was certain though. This little common interest they all shared made them all closer to each other, and they started treating Sophia as part of the group now

Drake and his group also noticed that at a table not too far from their current table also cheered. Only after cheering they hastily turned so none of Drake’s group could see their faces.

Drake’s group could not see who it was, but they could tell that it was a group of three, with two men and one woman. This made them laugh and they soon resumed enjoying themselves while conversation got more and more frequent between the girls. The rest of the guys had also joined in since they had recovered from their trauma.

Meanwhile, all the eyes that had turned this way looking at the three beauties were shocked to actually see Sophia talking to Drake and to see them all getting along.

They all thought, ’How the hell was this guy doing this? Even the Wild Princess Sophia was tamed, where is heavens justice?’

Jeremy and a few men couldn’t help but look at Drake in admiration, while the rest which were the majority were mostly resentful.

"Haha, yeah that face slap was very entertaining." Sylvia laughed, "Now that I think about it, you know you really do owe Drake an apology for the trouble with that invitation."

"Yeah sorry about that. It was supposed to get to you sooner." Sophia apologized.

Drake just shrugged unconcerned, "No worries, it’s not like I can stay angry at a pretty girl anyway. Besides I should be thanking you for that"

He didn’t really hold it against her, since it actually had nothing to do with her. It was just Zack looking to cause some mischief to hurt Drake. It would have happened sooner or later, it’s just that he took that chance.

"Thank me?" Sophia was surprised that not only wasn’t he blaming her but also thanking her. "What for?" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Mhm, if it wasn’t for you I would probably still be struggling with what to eat for dinner. Not to mention I would have to pay for it. But now look at me, I have all this great food in front of me, not to mention it’s all free." Drake spoke and took another bite of the drumstick in his hand.

All mages including the women generally tend to have terrifying metabolism so they can eat large quantities of food at a stretch. But the higher the quality of the food the easier it would be to satiate their craving.

As Drake ate, he realized that the meat was actually not ordinary it was the flesh of magic beasts. The magic energy contained in the food flowed into his bloodstream into his organs and bones nourishing them before it was absorbed by a powerful suction force that drew it all into his seal.

Even though there was a crack in the seal that didn’t mean it was completely broken. On the contrary it still operated the same way it was supposed to operate from when it was set up. Any magic energy entering or created in Drake’s body would be directly sucked into it.

It’s just that now that the crack was there was a crack in the barrier keeping the energy contained, Drake could draw out from all the amassed energy to cultivate, strengthening his body and for fights. Otherwise any energy he wasn’t actively using that was running through his body would be directly sucked into the seal.

Normally when a Mage fights they use the magic energy contained in their bodies and this puts strain on the cells and this exhausts the cells vital energy. This vital energy can only be replenished when the mage eats.

But even then other mages have it easier than Drake does, this is because they at least have magic energy in their bodies to act as a supplement in absence of food. Drake however, doesn’t have this supplement since the Seal will drain all magic energy from his body away leaving him completely empty.

That is the reason why Drake was so starved. Now that he finally ate something, the pleasure of the vital and magic energy being replenished made him feel like a dry seabed finally welcoming rain after a great famine.

The feeling was so good he was moaning in pleasure.

"Mn, Delicious!"

Sophia smiled faintly, she liked that Drake was so free and unrestrained. Not like all those other pretentious prick that kept tying to impress her.

She was about to reply when some people walked over from the side.

"Then you should stop talking and carry on eating. This kind of food is extremely difficult to come by for low class people like you," Edward said coldly. He held no favorable impressions for those unworthy like Drake.

Edward was a member of the Empyreans and was extremely proud of his position as he was one of the two vice leaders of the Empyreans.

Everybody knew that the leader of the Empyreans, Richard. Had a crush on Sophia and had been pursuing her for a long time now. Yet, now here she was frolicking around with this low grade trash that had only been let into the gathering because of the grace of a woman. It disgusted him

Richard couldn’t say or do anything that would ruin his gentlemanly image, but that didn’t mean he didn’t dislike Sophia being close with other men. And as his loyal subordinate Edward took it upon himself as his duty to get rid of this guy for his boss.

Sophia frowned at the disturbance. Sylvia and Cassandra also looked over at Edward before turning back to their food.

As for the twins and the Wolff Brothers, Since Drake himself who was being taunted chose to ignore it, they also didn’t let it bother them. They just took Drake’s cue and continued on with their meal.

Drake simply ignored the voice behind him. He had learned something in his life and that was that the flies only bothered you if you let them. Just ignore them and they would go away that was exactly what he was doing right now, after all there was no use letting someone ruin his good mood.

Edward was livid at being so plainly ignored. At his position when was the last time anyone had dared to ignore him.

He reached out his hand for Drake’s shoulder.

"Hey asshole, I’m talking to you are you deaf?"

Pow!

Edwards hand had just touched Drake’s shoulder, when out of nowhere Drake’s hand snaked out in a bizarre arc planting a slap right on Eric’s face sending him sprawling back.

His group quickly stopped him. But they retained a shocked look in their eyes as they stared at Drake.

"I won’t say anything if your mouth stinks. You can spout whatever shit you want wherever, but don’t touch me and get your germs on me." Drake said indifferently. Meanwhile, everyone else stared at Drake as though they were in a daze.

That slap had simply been too exquisite; it flowed so beautifully that it could only be classified as divine. They had never seen anything like that before. It was like at that moment Drake had become one with heaven and earth.

Edward was stunned. For a few seconds his mind didn’t click, as he still couldn’t believe it. ’I was actually slapped in the face. Me?’ the thought sounded several times in his mind.

Edwards finger trembled as he pointed at Drake with his right hand while his other palm rested on his cheek that had just been slapped.

"You...."
