Chapter 226 After The Duel 2



"Useless dog! He couldn't even do one thing I needed him to do!" A young girl with blonde hair kicked the couch as she was breathing from her nose. "Just one thing. One little thing. How can you not do that!" As she held a type of tube with black liquid inside, she mumbled. "If he was able to land one hit, it would be over. But, now I need to send someone else for the job." 

/CREAK/

Just as the young girl was talking to herself, she heard the sound of the door opening, grabbing her attention. Appearing in front of her was a young boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. "How is it?" He asked, as his eyes were looking at her anxiously. "Were you able to find out how did he become this strong?" Following his words, he continued.

"Sigh…. Arthur. Do you think it is that easy?" The young girl answered, as her blue eyes wandered around the boy. 'So stupid…. Do you feel inferior to him now?' She thought as she saw Arthur trembling. 'Just spill the beans already. How long are you going to hold it in?' Of course, even though Alicia was someone familiar with plotting, she knew that Arthur was hiding something. But, of course, even if she tried her hand, Arthur never answered, keeping his mouth shut. And then, she decided to wait. Wait until this little puppy in front of her couldn't contain his words…. Until he came at her on his own.

"I know, I know. What are we going to do now?" Arthur asked as he felt the piercing gaze coming from Alicia. 'This girl…. She is beautiful but so scary at the same time.' His gaze slipped slightly to the open white legs that were hanging underneath her robe.

"Now…. For now, we are going to wait. We don't need to do anything after all." Alicia answered as she looked into the window, seeing the sun. As she sipped from the drink that was right beside her with alluring movements, a drool leaked from Arthur's mouth, not being able to contain his desire inside his head.

"What do you mean?" Arthur asked, not understanding. "Why do we not need to do anything?" Of course, even if Arthur was someone from Earth, not everyone that lived in the modern world had enough reasoning skills…. 

"Others will do our job for our sake," Alicia answered as a smirk settled on her face. "Sometimes, just a little bit of spark is enough to light a fire in the forest." She added to her words as she stood up from the couch she was sitting on. Her robe, which was covering her most body parts, was now slipped slightly, as her white shoulders were visible.

Understanding dawned upon Arthur as he caught onto the implications behind Alicia's words. "What a cunning and fearsome woman," he thought, unable to resist drawing closer to her. The signals were clear, and he knew what she desired.

Though, the green eyes that were looking outside had a strange glint in them. 'Come to my little puppy…. Lose yourself in the pleasure of my body.' She thought, feeling the arms hugging her from behind. "Can't hold it in?" She whispered, not losing the alluring tone she had naturally developed. 

"Yes…. I can't hold it anymore…" Arthur said as he brought his face closer to Alicia.

"Then, why bother with waiting…" Alicia said as she opened her neck to the young boy. 'For some reason, I don't want to see this useless prick's face…. I wonder why.' A peculiar thought filled her heart as the eyes she averted from Arthur gave a strange feeling, not fitting the atmosphere in the room.

/FLICK/

With a flick of her hand, the light that was entering her room from the window disappeared, leaving the room with darkness only to leave a shining pair of green eyes.

Those eyes…..

They were cold…..

"Brother..." A platinum-haired girl seethed with anger, her mood sour from the moment she overheard the whispers circulating within the academy. "How dare they frame my brother once again," Diana muttered to herself, her eyes fixated on the ring that had just witnessed a fierce magical clash.

"You're strong..." Diana spoke softly, her gaze lingering on the remnants of powerful magic being analyzed by the instructors nearby. "Much stronger than before." Being already aware of Callius' newfound magical abilities beforehand, Diana recognized that the magic he had displayed just moments ago far surpassed the magical abilities he had shown at that time.

"But there are still some mouths I need to shut," Diana muttered determinedly, her steps carrying her toward the academy's exit. She had someone in mind, someone with whom she shared a biological connection.

However, her stride came to an abrupt halt as a word reached her ears. "This bastard is still strong, huh?" A boy was engaged in conversation with his friends. "Can you believe it? He's the son of a whore... Seems like even whores can give birth to strong people nowadays." His smug face bore no realization of the impending explosion that was standing right beside him. "The Augustride Family, what a family, constantly embroiled in scandals. I bet that girl Diana is just like her mother... always looking down on us with her bitchy attitude. No wonder her husband looked for a whore…. Nowadays, those bitches think they own the world."

As the young man continued to spew his venomous words, oblivious to the signals his friends were silently sending him, Diana's face darkened. "If I get the chance, I'll smash her face and choke her with my own hands. I wonder what she would say then." The smug smirk on his face remained firmly in place as he indulged in his disturbing fantasies.

Unbeknownst to him, Diana was right beside him, a chilling sensation creeping up his spine. "Oh, really? You want to choke me?" Diana's words sliced through the air, filling the young man's heart with fear. "Why don't you give it a try?" Diana's voice echoed, and in an instant, something flew through the air.

A crisp "pat" sounded as a fine leather glove made contact with the young man's face, leaving a stinging sensation in its wake. A cold smile graced Diana's lips; her satisfaction was evident. "Why don't you prove your words with a duel of sacredness?" Diana's challenge hung in the air, causing everyone's gaze to fall upon the young man.

Feeling the weight of their collective attention, the young man lacked the courage to face the second-ranked student, Diana.

With a swift "swoosh," he made the most rational decision he could muster—he fled, abandoning everything behind, escaping from the consequences of his thoughtless words.

"Heh…." Leaving a cold smirk on the face of the platinum-haired girl standing there. "Dogs will be dogs, after all." Saying that, she left, walking to the place where she expected to see the person of her target….
