Chapter 180: Having Chronic Bad Luck Should Be Considered A Life Threatening Disease
"Pat, we need to warn Mark. There's a killer after him! They said they sent him to attack Mark right now, so he is probably already there!"
[What! Wait, Arit, you're not making any sense. Who are 'they'? How do you know about the killer?]
Arit's brow furrowed in shock as she heard this. Does that mean that Pat already knows about the killer? Then, doesn't that mean that Mark should also know? This has to be what they have been trying to solve all this while. That mailman who came to deliver the box must have also been related to the killer somehow. This made this much easier.
Since she didn't have to explain who the killer was, then she could simply tell Pat what was about to happen.
"Someone hired the killer to kill Mark during this battle. You need to warn him!"
[Okay, hold on, I'm -]
[Mr. Patrick, please take your seat. This is a classroom and you are not allowed to receive calls in here.]
[Shut the fuck up, you old maid! I'm talking here!]
[Excuse me!? W-Who are you calling old!? I'm still a young lady!]
[What the fuck are you trying to defend!? You're still single ass fuck! And you made a mistake on the fifth line in that algorithm! The fifth function is meant to be differentiated to the twentieth percentile before we can use it in the equation. Your old age is making you lose your mind! Excuse me!]
The teacher who was talking suddenly shut up as she checked the algorithm and realized that Patrick was right. They would have to go back a long way before they can rectify this mistake! She glared at Pat as he stood up and left the class with his AirPods in his ears and his laptop open in one hand while he typed away at it furiously.
[Arit, I need to send a message to Mark. Thanks for the heads-up.]
*Beep!*
Patrick cut the phone call and Arit blinked down at the phone in surprise. She was not used to the way Pat always cuts the phone without even saying anything else; she was just a little pissed that he did that.
Arit thought about leaving the school to go and help Mark, but she knew that it would be a stupid and dangerous idea. Mark has been working hard to make sure that no one finds out about her identity as an Anima hybrid, but if she goes out there then she would just ruin all of his hard work and make it pointless.
Arit would never insult Mark's efforts like that.
Bam!
"Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit!"
Arit heard the sound of something falling on the floor before she heard someone cursing quietly. She walked up to one of the stalls in the bathroom and she pushed the door open.
*Crack!*
The door was locked, but the lock on the door immediately cracked under her immense strength and made the door swing open. Arit stared down at the person huddled up on top of a toilet with an intense stare.
Inside the stall, Maria was shaking.
Maria was having trouble breathing and her entire body was warning her at that moment to run! Get up and run! Get up and run as far away as possible without looking back! But she couldn't move! Her body was locked up because she knew that even if she could run, there was nothing that she could do against someone like that.
Arit was staring down at Maria with those poison-yellow eyes of hers, and after some time, Maria saw a smile spark on Arit's face as if Arit just had the most sinister idea known to mankind. When Arit spoke, every syllable sent a shiver down Maria's spine.
"You saw? That means from now on, you're an accomplice. Congratulations."
*Psssss~*
The smell of urine filled the entire bathroom as Maria couldn't stop her bladder from releasing everything inside it! Tears streamed down her eyes and she sniffled as she started to cry like a baby.
Why did she ever get involved with these people!? Why!?

[Comment from GoG: Hey, hey, Mark! The gods got into a drinking contest and I had the goddess of life take off some of her clothes! I wasn't kidding when I said she was hot! She's smoking fire under that dress! Do you want me to send you images!? Huh!?
