Mark's eye twitched as he read through the message, and he finally reined his anger in as he made himself calm down. He just glared toward where Thanatos was walking through as he watched the bastard leaving. Mark cemted this momt into his memory. He would not forget this, and he would make sure he settled this score in time.
Thanatos could literally feel the animosity from Mark as Mark glared at his back, and Thanatos turned a to look at the mere mortal that dared to glare at him. Thanatos's finger twitched as he thought about killing Mark right at that momt, but he knew that it would be bad since he did not have a legitimate reason for it.
Killing Mark here would mean that Sozin had the right to kill all of Thanatos's champions without any reason, and Thanatos knew that he would be on the losing d if that ever happed. It would be better to just tolerate the insult.
Boom!
Thanatos released some of his aura at Mark, and Mark's eyes wided as he felt himself fly backward from the intsity of the aura! Mark didn't ev understand what the hell just happed! As far as Mark knew, he was glaring at Thanatos one momt, and the next momt he was flying back from an invisible force slamming into him!
Thanatos clicked his tongue against his teeth once more as he turned back a to leave.
"Be gone, fool."
...
"Gasp!"
Mark gasped as he came back to the real world, and he shook his head to get his bearings back to normal.
"Mmh."
Arit moaned from beside Mark, and Mark turned to see her sleeping beside him. Oh right, he left to finish the trial just after Arit fell asleep beside him. Mark fell back down in his bed, and Arit immediately came close to him and lay down on his chest with another moan.
She pressed her breast into his chest as she buried her face into his nape, and Mark brushed her hair calmly to make sure that she was comfortable. Mark wrapped his hand a Arit and his brow furrowed in annoyance as he remembered how he was kicked out by Thanatos.
He was definitely not going to forget about that bastard anytime soon; someday, he would get strong ough to challge that bastard, and he would beat the shit out of him.
But for now, Mark decided to just forget about all that and focus instead on the rewards that he got from Thanatos for completing the tests. Mark turned to his system and oped the numerous tabs that he wasn't able to op before.
Mark hummed.
"What's that?"
Arit paused for a momt before she finally spoke up again.
"Well... Do you think we can ever go back to school?"
Mark hummed as he heard Arit say this. That was quite the loaded question. Mark did not have any issues going back to school. He was already used to staying a normal humans, and he knew that ev if he wt back to school and there was a lot of atttion, he could handle it. The real issue here was Arit, and they both knew it.
Arit was much stronger than before now, and she still didn't have any idea how to control her power. Not only that, but she also had these intse momts of aggressivess that she couldn't control. Mark did not think it was a good idea for Arit to go back to school wh she was like this.
But Mark couldn't do that to Arit.
Mark knew that Arit would accept his reasoning if he told her that they could no longer go back. If Mark told Arit that they were no longer going back to school, Arit would accept his decisions and that would be the d of it, but Mark also knew that Arit would not be happy about it.
Arit wanted to be a doctor, and to do that she needed to complete her education and evtually go study medicine at the university.
Arit's dreams would be crushed if they didn't go back to school.
"Let's finish your treatmt with Jeanne first. I'll teach you to control your accidtal bursts of strgth, and we'll talk about this again wh Jeanne gives an okay for you to d your treatmt. Is that okay?"
Arit tighted her hold on Mark's hand, and Mark could tell that she was inwardly very happy about what he said. Wh she spoke again, Mark could literally hear the smile in her voice.
"Yes... that's perfect. Thank you, Mark."
Mark hummed with a smile as he kissed Arit's neck once more.
"Goodnight, Arit."
"Goodnight."
