123 Not a Pussy!?

'Damn you Avilia! What have you done! You are making my brain hurt on what to do!' Moby inwardly cursed only for Avilia to reply with a comically evil laugh.

He tried his best to stay calm and collected from the outside but from the inside, his head was spinning in circles trying to process everything.

Luckily, the quest was completely optional, leaving no downsides to not doing it . However, the temptation was getting to his head, making him think of ways that he could possibly complete it without revealing his sin-mode. 

From before, Moby had already given up on the bet with Damian as he was already satisfied with his original bet. However, the temptation of the new quest was getting to him, making him think in ways he didn't know he could, all for the sake of completing it. 300 stat points and 2 level ups on his skills that he knew take forever to level up was too good to pass up on.

On the outside, he looked very calm with a blank expression on his face. However, on the inside, there was an entire warzone going on as he tried to squeeze his brain out of as many ideas as he could.

For what felt like an eternity but was only a few seconds, Moby thought long and hard about what to do to the point where he felt his brain was malfunctioning, not paying attention to anything that was going on in the outside world. When, suddenly, an evil, genius plan popped up in his head, making a devilish smile appear on his face.

It something that involved the new freedoms and rules from the school break and a new skill that Jayden gained from her evolution.

"Hey! Kane! Why are you ignoring me with that look in your eyes! Will you not change your mind and prove yourself to me?" Damian screamed at the blank-faced Moby, waiting for an answer only to be ignored for the third time in a row.

"Uggghh! Fine! Be like that!" Damian screamed, giving up and walking away in embarrassment and anger.

"Fuck… What a pussy… Grow a backbone!" Damian muttered to himself.

"Hey! Damian! Where do you think you're walking off to?" Moby screamed at Damian with a visible smirk on his face, making the entire crowd stop talking shit to listen.

"Huh? What do you want now? Are you gonna mock me or something?" Damian said, turning around.

"No! Not at all! I changed my mind! I accept your challenge!" Moby announced with clear confidence, shocking the entire crowd as they were not able to believe their own ears, their jaws dropping to the ground in shock.

"PFFFFFF! WHAT!" Mason screamed, almost falling off his seat, spitting out the drink in his mouth.

"Hahaha! Moby Kane! I have truly misjudged you! You are a true honourable warrior through and through! Let us have a good fair match!" Damian said with a smile on his face.

"Yes! We have ourselves a bet!" Damian replied, also with an innocent smile on his face.

'Heh… Sucker!' They both inwardly thought with a devilish smirk.

"YESSS!! It's actually happening! You sure have some balls kid! I commend you for not running away!"

"Hey! Can we reopen bets! I want to add on to my original bet!"

"This is gonna be good!"

"Wow… I was not at all expecting that… Should we maybe propose a nerf or a restriction on Damian as to make the fight more fair?" Joseph suggested to Mason as he too was still in a state of immense shock.

"No… I will not make any restrictions… They already agreed to the bet and Moby did not propose any… This will be a good lesson to him. A lesson in what happens when one get's too arrogant. I thought that he was smart and cool-headed after he effortlessly beat Leon but now I take that back… I am sorry sweety but it seems like you have chosen the wrong boyfriend, people like him will only bring you trouble…" Mason said to the extremely wide eyes and shocked Jayden behind him, who was completely not paying attention to his words as she was in a mind-link conversation with Moby.

"Moby! What the fuck are you thinking! You know that there is no way in hell that you win so why did you challenge him and change your mind so suddenly and quickly!" Alex screamed at Moby using the mind link.

"Yeah! This is bad! Why are you acting so rashly! Now you will be banished from the house and be in heavy debt! You could have just walked away with all the money! So, why didn't you? Why do you want even more? Is there something on your mind?" Jayden asked, still unable to process what just happened.

"Everyone calm down! I am sure my lord had a well thought plan in mind when he did this! He would never go blindly into such a thing!" Abby said with clear confidence, trying her best to calm Jayden and Alex.

"Yes! Abby is indeed correct! I have a plan to win! So hear me out! Jayden, this might be a little hard on you but trust me when I say that the results will be well worth it!" Moby said, unable to contain his excitement.

***************

"Hahahahah! That's so evil, cruel, and fun! How the fuck do you always come up with this shit!" Jayden said, laughing her ass off as her expression completely changed from her prior worried and serious self.

"Truly genius! As expected of the amazing mind of my lord and future king of all demons!" Abby said with a devilish smile.

"Good! I never liked the Nier family, they were always a deceptive, greedy family filled with nothing but scum! They deserve what's coming to them!"Alex commented.

"This will be easy, hard, and tough at the same time. But, in the end, it will be all worth it…" Moby said with a distorted smile.

"Attention all spectators! A new match and bet has been officially declared between Moby Kane, and, Damian Nier! The rules will be the same as the last fight and it will be taking place in the same arena in the next 35 minutes so all spectators, please wait patiently in your seat! Now, will both fighters please follow Albert to choose your new weapons and armour! He will be waiting for you at the main exit of the arena! That will be all!" Mason announced to the crowd, making them go absolutely wild in excitement.

Moby walked through the almost completely destroyed arena that was being reconstructed on its own as he could not help but admire the power and utility of the mana crystals in the arena before he finally reached the exit of the arena, Albert patiently waiting for his arrival.

"I am extremely impressed by your victory over Leon but, I will give you one word of advice. Back out now and save yourself the humiliation… It's for your own good…" Albert said, looking at Moby with a serious expression.

'And for my own good… When he loses, the young miss will be furious and throw a tantrum… A-and, knowing my luck, I would be one of the many casualties and end up losing the job that I worked so hard for…' Albert inwardly continued his thought with little to no hope in his eyes.

"Don't worry sir! I know exactly what I am doing!" Moby replied with a confident smile.

"I better hope so for your sake!" he snarkily retorted. 

'And for mine…' he thought with a bad feeling in his stomach.

"Damian should be down here shortly. In the meantime, let this servant heal your wounds! We can't let you fight in an injured and drained state now, can we? Emily! Come here and heal his wounds, and share your mana with him as well!" Albert ordered as a tall blue-haired girl wearing a maid outfit who was only a little shorter than Moby emerged from behind the exit door.

"Yes sir!" She replied in a serious tone.

"Okay! Now stand still! My ability allows me to heal and share my mana at the same time!" Emily said, going to heal Moby only for him to nervously and almost instinctively back off, making her extremely confused.
