Chapter 116 Let The Tests Begin! 2

By the distance, Inna can already hear faint screaming.

And then, after walking for a few seconds, she saw a guy with a swollen eye passing by them. He was mumbling out complaints while clutching the back of his head.

Inna found the scene familiar so she stopped, trying to recall the reason why.

Then, it suddenly dawned in her.

"Hey. Did I ever tell you about this deal I made with Ulima?"

"Hmmm? I don't remember you mentioning anything about it. Why?"

"I kinda included you in it."

Inna said nervously.

"Hmmm?"

Raghnall stopped in his tracks to look behind him.

"And how was I involved?"

"So, like, remember two days ago? We were talking about this thing with the speakers and all. So, I told Ulima about it and he told me he'll link it under the condition that I had to heal him."

"Heal him?"

"He couldn't heal himself."

"And what does that have to do with me?"

Raghnall raised an eyebrow.

"Uhm, so, can you be the one to heal him?"

Raghnall pretended to think about it before answering.

"Well, sure. But you seriously only asked about linking the speakers? Nothing else?"

Inna furrowed her brows at his statement.

"Well, I asked for a spell too."

Raghnall nodded his head in understanding.

Good choice. Surely she asked for a great spell. After all, she's talking about a deal with a Veteran ranked Mage here!

Curious, Raghnall couldn't help but ask.

"So, what spell did you ask for?"

Inna took out the pendant that was buried beneath her robes.

"Oh, just that clock spell."

Hmmmmmmm? Is he hearing it right?

"By clock spell, do you mean... the Time checker spell?!"

Inna nodded innocently as she twirled the pendant between her fingers. The action made Raghnall notice the small black teardrop pendant.

"Is that… black diamond?"

Raghnall had disbelief written all over his face and it made Inna actually curious as to how valuable the pendant was.

Fufufu, judging from his reaction, it must be pretty rare, right?

Inna looked at the pendant with pride and her fingers played with it as she smiled.

But in reality, Raghnall just couldn't believe that Inna was given such a low grade pendant coming from a Veteran genius.

In fact, black diamond can be easily found in entrances of caves. That's how common it was, so he felt disturbed because it was as though she was scammed thoroughly by that professor. But he doesn't have the heart to tell her about it because, just by looking at her now, she obviously treasures it like a gem.

"Next time, if he gets injured, its okay to tell him I'll heal him so ask for more than just two things, okay?"

Inna furrowed her brows in confusion. But seeing Raghnall's stern look, she couldn't help but just nod her head.

Seeing her obedience, Raghnall sighed in relief. Then, he proceeded to walk forward, dragging Inna along by the hand.

And after a few seconds of walking, Inna can finally make out a huge arch between two stone pillars around the tall trees that surrounds the sanctuary.

And without much reason, Inna was in the mood to be playful. So, she released her hand from Raghnall's grip and, without any much hesitation, ran towards the direction of the pillars.

"Last one there is a rotten loser!!!"

She screamed in glee as she ran full speed.

Raghnall froze as he tried to absorb what's happening again.

Last one to reach the pillars is a rotten loser?

Hah!

Is she actually challenging me?

Amused by the thought, he smirked but instead of running, he began chanting instead.

Meanwhile, Inna was nearing the pillars and man, were they huge!

In fact, it's actually twice her height!

And the stone pillars looked absolutely sturdy and thick that if it were to fall apart, a piece of it would surely squash her to death.

But then, as she finished looking, she found it strange that she didn't sense anyone following behind her. So, she decided to look back and see where Raghnall is.

Maybe he didn't get what she meant…

Or maybe he's really just slow in running?

After all, he is a magic-user so he might not be that great at physical stuff.

But when she looked back, the spot where she left him was as empty as her stomach.

"Huh? Where the fuc--oof!"

Because she wasn't looking as to where she was going, Inna slammed into someone in full force and the collision resulted into a few cracking sounds.

The person groaned as he staggered back while clutching his chest.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!"

Inna apologized immediately, and was about to check on the guy when she saw that the top of that person's head looked familiar.

Then, she realized that the person she 'bumped' into was actually Raghnall.

"That looked way more romantic in my mind."

He huffed out as he chanted a spell to heal back his cracked ribs.

"What the fuck?! Why are you even here?!"

Raghnall breathed deeply as the healing spell finished mending his broken rib.

"Because I thought we were supposed to meet here?"

"No, that's not what I meant! I mean, HOW did you even go here?"

Raghnall smirked as he massaged his chest to check if it healed properly.

"Well, you know that thing when you put your foot in front of the other really fast? Yeah, that's what I did. I ran."

Inna stared at him in disbelief.

"Run, my ass! I didn't even see you get past me!"

Raghnall 'humphed' in pride as he puffed out his chest.

"Well, its because I was so fast, your incapable eyes were unable to see the magnificent me!"

Inna rolled her eyes at that.

This guy has got to be lying!

We're talking about a High rank magic user against a High rank Fighter here!

Inna narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously.

"And why did you decided to stand right in front of my path?"

Raghnall smirked.

"Well, I was there because I was ready to accept my win, and you, with open arms but who would've thought that you would miss me so much that you would come running to me."

Inna's face crumpled up because of that cringe-y statement.

"First of all, I 'bumped' into you. I did not 'run' to your arms. Second, I did not 'miss' you!"

"But y'now, you ended up in my arms when you ran so it still counts as 'running to my arms.'"

Though you bashed a few of my ribs. But, whatever, I'll take what I can get.

Raghnall thought as he smiled teasingly at her. But, seeing his smile, Inna just scrunched up her face again.

"Tha--"

"Can you guys please stop the flirting?!"
