Seven Sins System Chapter 363. What's Her Problem?
"Ugh... sounds boring," Barry grunted in disappointment.
Darren and Ion joined in, shaking their heads from side to side.
"Right, I knew it. You guys just want drama. Don't you get enough drama from all the rumors?" I exclaimed in an annoying tone, unable to resist a theatrical eye roll. "If the academy fires me because I'm too controversial, you'll miss me," I added with a sly grin, teasing them.
"That's super ultra overconfident," Ion interjected with a hiss, a cringe etching across his face as if my words had physically pained him.
I shot them a flat stare, the kind that said, "Seriously?" because, well, seriously?
"Really, Ion?" Claire said, voicing the collective sentiment with a hint of annoyance.
Darren raised his hands to shoulder height and grinned innocently. "Okay, we were kidding. We will miss you. I mean, you've taught us a lot," he finally admitted, surrendering to the truth.
Barry, always ready with a cheeky remark, nudged my arm and grinned. "Don't be mad, doc. Or you will get more wrinkles," he teased, earning an eye roll from me. As if I needed more reasons to contemplate the aging process.
"You guys better appreciate me," I quipped, a playful smirk forming on my face. "Because let's face it, no one else would put up with your shenanigans."
Claire rolled her eyes. "We do, Doc. Somehow, we do," she said with a hint of a smile. And in that moment, I realized that maybe, just maybe, their theatrics weren't that intolerable.
"Well, our last mentor almost went crazy because of Barry's stupidity. Only you can handle him. So don't leave us," added Ion, throwing a pointed look at Barry.
Somehow, I could practically feel the hot gaze drilling into my back, a sensation akin to an oven on bread. No need to guess; it was Puriel. "But it will be a short session," I quipped, refusing to let the intensity disrupt the easy smile on my face. I glanced back at Puriel, and there it was – displeasure etched clearer on her face. "Somebody doesn't seem to like that very much," I continued, my tone tinged with just a hint of disgust.
Fiona, caught in the crossfire of our tension, nervously glanced at Puriel. Sensing the unspoken disapproval, she immediately jumped in. "Should I tell her that I just want to train? I didn't mean anything," she stammered.
I redirected my gaze back to Fiona, offering her a reassuring smile. "That won't work, and it's not because she's jealous of you," I stated. It wasn't about jealousy. I knew it was because of the fear that I might somehow corrupt Fiona.
