Chapter 25: Clovist Training [4]



****

'Huh?' Amon blurted out in his thoughts, not making anything out of the sudden events.

He suddenly felt Elizabeth's hand touch his clothes. Before he could think anything of it, she tore a certain part of his sleeve.

Immediately, she started dressing his wound with the cloth, all while he stared at her in astonishment.

"Why do you keep injuring yourself?" She questioned.

'Uh, 'cause I have no other way to use my element?' Amon wanted to say but controlled himself.

He averted her gray stormy eyes and scratched his head.

"Your sister keeps worrying about you but yet here you are, still injuring yourself. Do you not care about yourself?" She further questioned.

Ignoring her raging stare, he tried to bring up an excuse.

"I mean, my element is [Blood], so there was no other way for-"

"You could have just refused to participate." She rebutted, interrupting him.

He went silent at her answer.

Silence ensued between them for a few seconds before she let out a deep sigh.

"Alright, let's just leave this topic. However, stay away from that man." She gestured with her eyes towards Daniel, who leaned back against a tree.

It was then that Amon finally realized the cause of her sudden reaction back there.

The potion that Daniel was handed to him for his would was probably mixed with corrupted

mana.

The potion would slowly and steadily destroy his mana veins, leaving him with no choice but to become a ghoul contractor.

Elizabeth must have seen his malicious emotions and quickly butted in to save him from the

man.

If not for her, he would have truly been a goner.

He didn't understand why Daniel suddenly took an interest in him.

'Fuck....this wasn't supposed to happen.' He cursed internally at the sudden change.

This meant that he was now one of his targets to turn into a ghoul contractor.

Feeling his brain hurt from this thinking, he let go of the thought, thinking that it would be right as long as the original plotline proceeded normally.

As long as Daniel still took Michael in as a disciple, it would be fine.

But there was a more important matter at hand right now.

One that he had ignored.

He didn't realize this at first but now he did.

"Hey, training went well?"

Michael smiled and nodded back.

"Yeah, Sir Maxwille is a great teacher. What about you? I forgot who was your teacher."

Amon smiled and nodded, then gestured towards Daniel, who was leaving the grounds. "Yeah, it also went pretty well. There's the teacher, his name is Sir Daniel."

Following his gesture, Michael looked at Daniel, and not even a second later, a frown coated

his features.

Amon instantly noticed the frown.

'He also sees the malicious aura around him.'

[Solaran must have also informed him about it.] Zephyra pointed out and he nodded

internally.

Not saying anything about it, he looked around him and noticed Ren was missing.

"Where's Ren? Did you see him?" Amon questioned Michael, changing the topic,

Jolting awake from his thoughts, the latter nodded.

"Ah, oh yeah, he just left with his elder sister after training was over. Said that he had something urgent to attend to."

"Ah."

At the mention of something 'urgent', Michael too suddenly spoke up.

"Actually, I got something urgent to attend to as well, so I'm afraid that I gotta go right now.

Meet up tomorrow in the morning?"

At his words, Amon knew that something urgent was training but he didn't mind it.

He, too, had somewhere to go also.

"Yeah, sure. Have a nice day." Amon smiled.

Michael smiled and waved goodbye, before running out of the grounds in a hurry.

Now left alone, he stretched himself, ready to also get to today's work.

Heading out of the grounds, he quickly set his way towards the City Centre again, rather than

his apartment.

It was still afternoon, so there was no reason to go back.

Entering the building, he smiled.

It was time to get a weapon and collect his spatial ring!
