30 Chapter 29. Death Call

The Incubus System Chapter 29. Death Call

It was 2:54 PM, my last class was almost over while my lecturer was still speaking at the front. But instead of explaining about our subject, he told how he could catch a big fish when he was on vacation last week. Bored, I turned to the window facing the yard not far from me, staring at the other students who were busy chatting and laughing together. I smiled. In the past, I did not value what I have, what I thought was how to be better. I always live to chase my future. But since I died and turned into a demon, I came to realize that life is very valuable since we are very close to death. That's why, now, I live to enjoy my present and protect my loved one's smile.

"-han! Ethan!" a voice called me.

I turned to Larry, who sat next to me.

"Yes?"

"You were called by the lecturer..." he whispered in a panicked expression as his finger pointed to the front.

"Ethan!" The lecturer's voice called me.

I quickly stood up from my seat.

"Yes, Sir."

"You don't usually daze like this," he said. A wrinkle appeared on his forehead.

"I'm sorry, sir," I replied, looking down. Listening to his chatter about fishing is really boring, even some students started to play with their cellphones from behind the book. But somehow he never rebuked them, whereas this was the first time I was slack off and he immediately rebuked me.

"You're a model student. You should set an example for your other friends," he said again.

"Yes, sir," I replied, without raising my head.

Suddenly, Larry stood up from his seat.

"Please don't blame Ethan, sir."

I turned my gaze to Larry in surprise, not expecting him to stand up for me. This time I was sure he was defending me because there was no advantage in against the lecturer. I could even see Larry staring at our lecturer with a serious face.

"Ethan has just been rejected by Olivia. So I hope you can understand his feelings," he continued. His expression did not change to show how serious he is.

My jaws dropped in shock upon hearing it.

'What the heck? !! When did I get rejected by Olivia ?! '

While others also have the same expressions as me.

"Is that true, Ethan?" asked the lecturer.

"That's not true," I quickly refused in panic while returning my gaze to the front. Is the gossip 'Ethan had dumped Larry for Olivia ' not enough? So there must be another gossip titled 'Ethan was rejected by Olivia'?

Larry tapped me on the shoulder and I turned back at him in response. He looked at me with a wistful gaze and gave me a bitter smile.

"It's okay, buddy. Being rejected is normal, you don't need to deny it."

"But-"

Before I finished my sentence, another student interrupted me.

"Stay strong, Ethan," he said encouragingly.

I turned my gaze to the student.

"I do not-"

Again, my sentence was interrupted by others.

"Ethan, I never thought you were a brave person."

'Brave? Does that because no man dares to approach Olivia? '

"But, I really don't-"

* Ringgggg !!! *

A bell rang to indicate that our class was finished.

"Alright, we meet again next week," said the lecturer closing our class. Then he looked at me and gave me a consolation smile.

"Ethan, you're still young, don't let this problem get in your study."

I just opened my mouth to explain, but he had turned around and walked out of the classroom, and so did the others. My view is diverted from the source of this misunderstanding, Larry. And saw him already carrying his bag and walking along with other students. My hands quickly stuffed my book into my bag, carrying it and chasing him.

"I want to talk to you," I said, clamping my hand on his shoulder tightly, stopping his steps. My eyes looked at him in seriousness. How could he draw this wrong conclusion ?!

He turned. After seeing my expression he gave me another bitter smile.

"If you want to cry, I'll lend my shoulder, buddy." His hands raised to embrace my shoulders but I caught it, my expression remained serious and my feet began to move while he retreated with a scared face since it was clear from my expression that I'm not someone who wants to cry.

His back hit the wall and I put my hand on the side of his head. My eyes keep staring at him.

[Name: Diamond Seabloom] [Age: 20]

[Level 1] [Race: Hybrid-beast]

[HP: 97/97] [MP: 55/55]

[Skills: Sea Communications lv 3]

[Emotion: Interested, curious.]

[Love meter: 0/10]

[Condition: Normal]

[Relationship: Single]

[Profession: Master of the sea, Diamond College Owner.]

From her status, I can make sure she isn't angry with me, but that doesn't mean I can let my guard down since I don't know what her plan is. If she was curious to reveal my identity as a demon, that wasn't a good thing either.

She got up from her chair and started walking slowly towards me, her face looked calm.

"There is no information that says that you learned martial arts before, but I can add it since I feel your speed is at a master's level," Diamond said as she continued to walk behind my chair.

"I think you overrated me, Miss Diamond." Even though my eyes looked to the front but I know she stopped right behind me now.

"You are really interesting..."

After the words were heard, I could feel some movement from behind me. My instinct told me to turn around or at least avoid it but I forced myself to remain still in my position. It would be too strange if an ordinary student could detect movements behind him.

The tentacles passed through both sides of my head quickly and meandered before my eyes, showing their suckers with the transparent liquid clearly. Her face approached the back of my ear.

"Do you know what this means, Ethan?" she whispered.

"You are a Kraken's descendant?" I said while my brain continued to guess what she wanted. Why does she clearly show her status as a Kraken's descendant to me? To intimidate me?

"You don't look surprised by this. Have you ever met another Kraken bloodline?" she guessed. I need to admit she is sharp.

I didn't answer her question and instead asked another thing. Because from Pearl, I knew I would not be able to lie to a kraken's descendant.

"May I know why you called me, Miss Diamond?"

"Are you impatient or do you want to avoid my question?" Her tentacles began to cling to my body, crawling to my face, neck and shoulders. A slippery and slimy feeling greets my skin while I still remain in my position.

"I'm just curious. Is this because I bumped into you earlier?"

She did not answer, while her tentacles began to slip into my sweater and t-shirt, wiggling, exploring and examining every corner of my body. I realized, she was examining me, but the question was what was she looking for?

"Miss Diamond, I think this is already sexual harassment."

She remained silent as some of her tentacles began to tie my arms and legs to the chair. The other tentacles slither slowly, the tip gently touched my skin and swirled around just like examining my body in detail, while its suckers sucked my skin. I also can't resist since she has all my profile, the only way is to be patient and wait for my chance to cast my manipulation skills on her.

'What exactly does she want from me? We are still in college but she does this without any care. Even though she has the highest authority, shouldn't she still care about her reputation? 'I cast my gaze around me and realized there were two CCTVs in the room but both of it were off.

'She is up to something and she doesn't want to be found out or have any evidence of what she will do to me. '

After a while, she spoke again.

"Strange ... I can feel the kindness mixed with a strong dominating desire in you. Something that should fight with each other, but how come you can make it balance?" Her curiosity and confusion could be clearly heard from her voice.

'She said the same thing as Pearl yesterday ...'

"Don't all people have good sides and bad sides?" I reasoned.

But it seems like she doesn't care about my words. One of her tentacles pushed my chin, bent my head up while she bent her head down and gave me an evil smirk.

"Interesting ..." she whispered. Then without further ado, her lips fell on me. I gasped when I felt her tongue slip into my mouth along with a small object with the same taste as what Pearl gave me yesterday. Without announcement, I knew she was giving me a stimulant.

[Stimulants are detected.]

My tongue tried to push it out while her tongue swirled in my mouth trying to make me swallow the drug. I also can't use my manipulation skills since I don't look into her eyes. She managed to make me swallow it, the drug slid into my throat as she released her kiss.

* Cough * * Cough * * Cough *

I pulled my head back to the front as I coughed trying to get the drug out of my throat but in vain.

Her lips approached the back of my ear.

"Since you have two different sides, I want to know if you can still maintain your good side when the drug starts working. I want to know if you can still be a gentleman when the lust controls your mind," she whispered again in a sweet voice.

'This is strange. Why she gives me a stimulant if she wants me to keep my manner?'

Realizing there was something strange about this, my thoughts remembered about the CCTVs in the room. I glanced at it and could see a red light that was blinking, indicating that it would turn on soon.

' I see ... She wants to set me up.'
