101 101 - Jealousy

On the way to school, Aatrox had found a Batman Dark Knight Returns comic book on the internet and with the accelerated reading due to cultivation, he managed to finish the whole story before arriving.

The story seemed quite interesting, he found it a bit dull because he was just a mortal and didn't tell anything about cultivation in the story, but he still enjoyed the experience.

Something he noticed is that this superhero had an enormous sense of justice, something that Aatrox certainly didn't have. Aatrox didn't care about the lives of mortals he had no connection with, but seeing the reaction of the children talking about this superhero during breakfast, at least he thought it might be something fun.

Like everything in life since he came to this world, Aatrox decided to give it a chance. He had some plans for the Price family that this Superhero idea might fit in well and maybe even be more effective than if he didn't act like it.

But for now, Aatrox arrived at the school and felt a hostile aura being directed at him. When he turned to see who was emitting an aura like that, the answer surprised him. Walking towards the aura he opened a little smile and said: "Good morning, Annie."

Annie turned to Aatrox and looked at him with a little frown. "Good morning, Ben."

Aatrox realized that she usually liked to talk a lot, but now she was acting so quiet, it was something different and strange for him. "Did something happen?" He asked.

When Annie heard that question, she got even more upset and said. "Did something happen? Boy, it's been a long time since we've talked or played together. When I opened your bookstore yesterday you were talking to Limipy like you were best friends, you were even making an appointment to meet..."

Aatrox could feel the atmosphere changing a bit, it seems he misunderstood the aura he was feeling. He was never very good at understanding someone's feelings for energy, but even without much experience with it, he could feel that Annie was upset about something that wasn't so bad. "We didn't talk about anything too much, how about I call you to join another Livestream mine? I'm not really looking forward to playing League of Legends right now, but we can look for something else to play together."

When Annie heard that, her eyes lit up, but she wouldn't let it seem that something so simple made her forget what happened. "All right, we can play together later." She tried to keep a calm front, but inside she was very happy.

Aatrox was also happy since his first friend was no longer upset.

That sort of thing was a little normal, and Aatrox didn't particularly care. Since he had already learned the content, it would at least have to be of some use.

After class, Annie and he went to the theater club to rehearse for the third episode. Entering the room they could feel the atmosphere a little tense since the more successful the series was, the more people came to watch and the greater the expectation was. The actors who for the most part were newcomers were feeling the pressure.

When they saw Aatrox and Annie arrive, it was as if a weight had been lifted from their backs. Annie with a slight smile and Aatrox with a calm face, this pair only with their presence could change the atmosphere to one of greater confidence since the two were never nervous.

Today they were rehearsing again some scenes that were being difficult to deliver what Roberta demanded.

One of these scenes was a scene that would happen in a city they were going through. In the scene, the swordsman and the waitress would be walking side by side enjoying the silence of the other's company, until the waitress asked about the swordsman's past with her father.

The swordsman listening to this will open a nostalgic gaze on their faces and tell some stories that they spent together. But while he told the stories in the first person, a person riding a horse would pass by them and when seeing the beauty of the waitress, decides to enter the conversation and say that the swordsman was only telling this pile of lies to impress the girl he wanted to conquer.

Listening to this guy, the swordsman was getting ready to draw the sword and kill him, until the waitress puts her hand on his shoulder and signals him not to do anything while pointing with her fingers at some guards nearby.

The two will give some excuses and make this man go with them out of town, there some things will happen, but in essence, the problem of this scene was in making Aatrox demonstrate a happy and nostalgic expression while making Annie demonstrate a fierce murderous intent in a scene that would proceed shortly thereafter.

When they started acting, the other actors felt that something was wrong... the Aatrox didn't look like a person acting like the swordsman anymore, he really looked like the swordsman. The movement, the expressions remembering old battles, some melancholy, the intention to kill, everything seemed extremely real.

When the actors looked at Roberta a little lost about what was going on, they saw her with a big proud smile on her face seeing the way Aatrox was acting.

Even she didn't expect him to improve so much in that one training session they had last night. If he continued like this, the surprise that was about to happen would definitely fall into his hands and could help them both.
