Chapter 23: CHAPTER 23 – Duel?

"She is so cute!!" x2

Both Ann and Alice said as Alex removed the disguise of the pup.

Ann had entered the room at the same time when Alex held Alice's hand and Alice was blushing, Alex had noticed that but he didn't bother hiding things from her as it was better if she knew everything.

However, before the situation becomes awkward, he removes the disguise of the pup to change the topic, but he doesn't expect this reaction.

They started caressing it and patting it while observing it, forgetting whatever was happening, Alex smiled seeing their reaction but then he sighed when he saw the pup looking at him with a begging expression.

"I know she is cute, but can you guys leave her some space? She is injured." Alex said while moving the pup in his hands using the wind.

Alex looked at the pup again and he had to admit she looked adorable, it had dark-black shadow-like fur and shining blue eyes looking around curiously.

Her length was close to 35cm excluding her tail, which was very fluffy, and was waving around showing her happiness at being in his arms.

"I will call the healer." Alice acted fast when she heard his words and called the healer.

"What happened?" Ann asked as neither she nor Alice knew what had happened.

"When I was on the way here, I found her lying in blood. However, I found out that it was not her blood but her mother's, who had died giving birth to her, and I don't know how long it had been from her birth, but she was very weak." Alex explained to them since the healer was on his way, they had some free time.

Alice and Ann looked at the pup pitifully after hearing what happened to her, they moved closer and caressed the pup when they saw her becoming sad as soon as her mother was mentioned.

"You said she looked very weak, but why does she look fine right now? Did you find a low-ranking healer to give her some minor healing on the way?" Alice asked as the pup didn't seem injured to her.

This was also the reason when Alex removed the disguise, she didn't feel that the pup was injured.

"No, I healed her myself but as I am not really the best healer, I thought maybe I should get her healed with a better one. Better safe than sorry right?" He replied with a smile while caressing the pup.

"She is just hungry and everything else is fine. It seems like she was healed by a good healer." Nick said after he examined the pup causing Alice and Ann to turn towards Alex with a wronged look.

Alex just smiled helplessly; he was just doing his best, but he seemed to have forgotten that if he did his best then anything done by him would show good results.

It was his first time using water to heal and if given time there is a chance that he can replace or regrow cells with the help of water.

"Thank you, Nick." Alex thanked Nick who just smiled gently.

"It's my job." Nick didn't blush or show any awkward movements this time around as examining the pup had calmed him down. Nick then turned towards Alice, and she nodded gesturing that his work was done Nick also smiled and nodded.

"Good luck with the Duel, I am rooting for you." Nick stopped at the gate and said to Alex and then went out not noticing Alex's puzzled expression.

"Duel?" Alex asked, looking at Alice since he didn't know what Dual Nick was talking about.

"Well, about that......" Alice started explaining what happened and why she asked him to come quickly and by the time she ended up telling Alex about everything, both she and Ann were startled as they saw Alex smiling.

His smile was not his usual gentle smile, this time it looked like the smile of someone evil, but then it vanished as if it was never there making them question whether it was just their imagination.

"I see..." Alex said while he was thinking of what he should do with Frank. He still remembered the mocking smile he had seen and just thinking that he got the chance to wipe that smile off his face made him smile.

This is the smile that was seen by Alice and Ann, but he calmed down pretty quickly while still thinking of how he should make this interesting.

He hadn't realized it yet but from the moment he awakened the Incubus bloodline his personality had started to turn devilish, and well this might be the backlash that he had to suffer.

This is also the reason why in the earlier chapters it's said that even though the Supreme human bloodline doesn't look like much it's very powerful since its adaptability is very high and it would not give any kind of backlash.

Every race has its different characteristics along with the powers they provide, and their characteristics might also be their backlash, that is why even if humans are the weakest race in the start, they are still a race with the most potential.
