Chapter 191 Something Strange About Nix

Obsidian took several steps back at her outburst. She gave off a scent that proved false to her actions.

"Your scents," Obsidian began, unsure if he could continue. She smelled like an animal in heat.

Luna tried to rack her brain on what he meant by scent and why his eyes ravaged her even without touching.

Feeling self-conscious, she instantly regretted her choice of clothing. "Please leave." She whispered, scared about what he might do to her in his state.

Her eyes widened after she finally came to the right conclusion. Remembering her brother had rubbed something on her in the guise of it being an ointment.

'You are going to love the experience.' Thinking back on his exact words, she cringed and bit down on her bottom lips.

'Solis!' She hissed, making a mental note of choking the light out of him when they saw.

This little trick had a negative influence on how she viewed herself. She couldn't differentiate which attracted Obsidian, her personality, outlook, or just the pheromone that he brother had placed on her.

"I understand and I'm sorry for causing you trouble," she raised her hand, letting out a sigh so she could calm herself before she continued.

Obsidian nodded his head, understanding nothing she said.

"I would like to be alone." She finally replied.

"Luna..."

"Please!" She stressed, closing her eyes so she stayed firm with her words.

Slowly backing away, he respected her decision.

"What's going on?" Solis' voice could be heard at the doorpost as he whined to Obsidian.

"Solis!" Luna's voice boomed in rage, calling on her brother to meet her.

"Looks like you are in trouble. Thanks for the try anyways" Obsidian said with a sigh, understanding what he had done to help him.

Patting Solis' on the back and leaving like he had been told to.

Solis slowly walked in, fearful of what his sister might do to him in her state of mind.

In Room 1,

"Nix, tell me something." Lumina furrowed her brows at him, sitting on the table and leaning on the wall behind.

Nix scratched his head, nervous about what was to be discussed, judging from her tone, it sounded anything but lighthearted.

"Depends on what needs to be said." He shrugged, not making any promises.

Lumina had a smirk on her lips, as she was already expecting such a response.

"It doesn't matter what I say, if you do want to speak, I'm sure you will and I know with time you will."

Her speech made him uncomfortable, as far as he could tell she was suspecting something about him, but the issue was what it was.

"You have a lead, you might as well just say it." Nix folded his arms, trying as much as he could to play it cool.

"There is something strange about you." She narrowed her eyes, pointing an accusing finger at him.

Nix's sweat dropped at her words, unsure of what she meant.

"What do you mean strange?" Nix covered his nervousness with a low chuckle, making sure to maintain eye contact so he wouldn't look too suspicious.

"You possess far more than what a fire or telekinetic user." She pointed an accusing finger at him.

'What the heck happened just a brief time apart?' Nix wondered, his thoughts calculating the possibilities he might have missed along the line.

"I don't know what you mean, nor can I confirm how true your words are without any valid proof." He tried to justify himself.

Lumina couldn't be swayed by such petty words, she had observed enough to know she was telling nothing but the truth.

"Your heartbeat has quickened, the amount of jolts your body produces has also increased and yet you say you don't know what I'm talking about?" Lumina laughed at his flimsy words.

Nix's mouth gaped open a bit at how accurately she had deduced that without touching him. This only boosted her morale to continue her prying questions.

"Tell me why you had wanted to learn how to use a sword." Lumina began, using every bit of intel she could gather at her disposal.

Nix's brows furrowed at her first attempt at trapping him. "Nice try, but a sword is used for both an offensive and defensive approach and whichever side I'm on, I needed to learn so I could rely on that if all others fail."

'F*ck it! My system alongside my gifts failed. What did you expect? I learned how to protect myself.'

"That I can still tolerate, but with your gifts, there is no justifiable reason you would go with that when you aren't fairly matched." Lumina antagonized.

'What the heck is wrong with pretty face? Now she questions my every move ever so often.' Nix grimaced at the change in tone.

"You have something that augments your abilities, something unseen by us, but surely visible to you." She hissed, pointing circles at him.

'What the f*ck is going on here?!' Nix screamed in his thoughts. There was no way anyone could detect this so accurately, their first thought normally goes in line with he was crazy or a minute of craziness, just definitely not this.

"You've got to be kidding," he laughed it off, shaking his head and pushing off the wall as he walked to the window.

Deep down in his heart, it thumped loudly and shook his entire being. He wasn't meant to be this exposed, he was sure no one knew anything about systems, or there would have been some sort of sign that only he would have recognized.

When he turned around, he was pulled by the collar, and forced to stare into her glowing green eyes.

"Nix, tell me the truth and I will tell you mine." She pressured, tightening her grip on his collar.

Letting out a groan in protest, he pushed her away from himself. "What's gotten into you?" He spat, unsure of her sudden behavioral diversion.

"Nix... I can't do this anymore." She cried out, dropping to her knees, her head drooping downwards.

'All of this is very confusing, what is going on?' Nix frowned, unsure if it was wise to approach her in such a state.

"All I want is the truth, no secrets." She mumbled.
