128 Fight
Opening the door, Mey was met by a young man. He was handsome and looked in his early twenties, black hair, green eyes, and a little scar at the corner of his left eye, that seemed as a devils snare.
The man looked handsome, but average, the devil snare on his eye didn't decrease his looks; it instead highlighted his good points.
Mey stared at the man with an icy look but had a warm smile on her face as she said: "Theodore, long time no see, what do you need?" Mey hastily asked as although she seemed nice and talked politely; her annoyance was unmasked.
Theodore had a warm smile on his face; he didn't care about the look she was giving him, he had a kind and bright smile on his face, contradictory to his devilish and evil look: "Hey Mey, it has indeed been too long, how have you been?" Seeing the unchanged expression on her face, Theodore didn't mind as he was used to her personality, "Is your father inside. I want to take his advice concerning a huge matter." Theodore wiped the smile on his face as he finished in a severe tone.
Seeing the look on his face, Mey was surprised. 'For him to have that look, something big must have happened,' Mey thought as she showed him inside, not trying to block him again. Even though she has nothing to fear as her father is Teacher Dio, Mey still doesn't want to offend a man like Theodore. As his power isn't weak and coupled with his young age, his potential is significant. He might even become a prominent character later on if he didn't die or have something happen to him.
Entering the house, Mey and Theodore made their way to the living room. Entering the room, they were met by an old man sitting in his place while calmly sipping tea.
The old man heard footsteps coming, so he turned his head to the living room's door direction. Seeing Mey coming back, Dio was about to ask who knocked on the door, but before he got the chance to, he saw Theodore following behind her.
Although he doesn't have to, Teacher Dio was someone who always cherished talent. With a talent like Theodore he would be unmatched in the future, that is before Xue Mo came if he didn't meet Xue Mo, Teacher Dio was going to make Theodore his future son in law, but now that Dio met and saw Xue Mo's talent firsthand he changed his plans.
"Theodore, my boy what brings you here at this time of day, did you find out that My Mey came back last night and came to see her?" Teacher Dio joked, but seeing the serious look on Theodore's face, he straightened his posture and asked in a deep voice: "What warrants such a stern look to appear on your face. Did something happen to that old fogey, your master? That shouldn't be it. I saw him a couple of days ago and he was fine without anything wrong with him. Maybe you came because you want me to help you with something." Teacher Dio was speaking to both himself and Theodore. After he finished, he glanced at Theodore, seeing him smile at him, Dio was confused 'What happened his expression changed too quickly, could it be that' before he can continue his thought process, Theodore suddenly lunged at him.
His hand transforming into a skeletal hand, with might several times than his previous self, Theodore tried to stab Dio in the heart.
Mey stood there, struck dumb. She didn't expect anyone to dare and try to fight her father in this weak low-grade world. Before she knew what happened and regained her consciousness, Deo and Theodore had already exchanged countless blows. The weird thing is that Theodore actually stood a chance to Dio and seemed even slightly stronger. Everywhere they moved, destruction followed, and in no more than twenty seconds, the whole house was in shambles.
Fists, kicks, elemental attacks, everything was unleashed. The battle fastly evolved from close combat to magic casting.
Teacher Dio, someone who had the rare ice affinity, released multiple ice spikes and small projectiles trying to limit the damage. Theodore, on the other hand, didn't care. Theodore released multiple lightning strikes at Teacher Dio; some of them even hit nearby students that were running away.

Xue Mo and Lu Yao were walking out of their house, going towards Teacher Dio's, when they suddenly saw explosions and other attacks being unleashed hazardously in the air.
Seeing that the direction of the fight was where they were going in the first place, Teacher Dio's house.
Xue Mo watched from afar, and he saw how Teacher Dio was fighting a young man while losing, 'Is this what the strongest on the Ash Expanse can offer…. Disappointing, I thought there would be more to Dio than that.' In Xue Mo's mind, Dio was never a real Teacher or someone worth befriending. He was just a means to an end, he became worth a little more when Dio told Xue Mo that he was the strongest in this world.
Xue Mo wanted to suck Teacher Dio dry and leave him with a little something if he did nothing to offend him. But Teacher Dio had to hint for Xue Mo to get out more and socialize and that he might even find a girl that he likes.
How could Xue Mo not understand what Teacher Dio meant, although it seemed as if he worried for his future, what he actually meant was to make Xue Mo be tied to him through someone probably his daughter.
If it were anyone else, even if they were as old as him and they got the hint, they would have just thought 'why not?' After all, not everyone is as loyal as him, and it wasn't unusual for people in his previous world to have a big harem of women in his old world, so it shouldn't be different here.
As Xue Mo expected, he saw a girl that looks a little like Teacher Dio staring dumbstruck as her father, which he guessed was Teacher Dio was fighting for his life.
'This is the kind of girl you wanted me to abandon my Yao'er for?' Not to mention that his disgust for women, repels him from getting near them, even if he wasn't disgusted he wouldn't ever cheat on the girl he fell in love with.
After thousands of years of having his heart closed and never opening to anyone, Xue Mo, in less than two years, fell in love with a woman in this world.
Not just because she was the only he wasn't disgusted with when she had her human form, but because he fell in love with her personality, with the similarities they share. Even more, he just kept feeling in love with every moment they spent together.
Xue Mo, in his cold dark heart, has opened an opening that only Lu Yao will ever get the chance to fill, and no one else would get to that place again; even if they try, the only thing they will get is a long and torturous death.
Mey looked at Theodore, who was decimating and playing with her father. At first, Theodore was just a tad bit stronger than Dio, but gradually his strength soared, and he became stronger while his mana increased in density and amount.
Dean Giorno heard what happened and hurried to the scene with Sakamoto on his tail. Arriving what greeted their eyes was their powerful friend Dio getting played with by Theodore, who is none other than the Dean's personal disciple. Half the Academy was destroyed through their fight, and Dio was all bloodied over, as lightning arrows kept condensing and thrown at him, zapping him and burning him.
Giorno yelled loudly after he saw what was happening. "What are you doing Theo?!!! Have you lost your mind? Why are you attacking Dio, he has always treated you like his son, and you even called him uncle Dio. What happened to make you like this." Giorno didn't ask about where Theodore got so much power; he was trying to appeal to the good memories Theodore had with Dio to let him release him or at least buy some time.
Theodore ignored his Teacher's words as if he didn't hear them, but instead, he attacked Dio more viciously and tried to increase the amount of pain Dio felt.
After several minutes of watching, both Mey and the two old men reacted, "Theodore, why are you doing this? My father always treated you well, as if you are his real son as if you were my brother. Did we wrong you somehow, is that why you are doing this? Please stop, I will do anything to stop, please STOP!?!?" Mey also tried to appeal to Theodore, explaining and making him remember what her father did to him when he was younger.
Finally, eliciting a reaction, Theodore surveyed his surroundings coldly, when his eyes laid on Mey, they were filled with lust and desire, which he ignored for the time being.
He suddenly looked at Sakamoto when his eyes darkened as if he remembered something horrible, and after that, a dense amount of killing intent was unleashed.
The weird thing, the killing intent wasn't only directed towards Dio but also Sakamoto. Looking at his old Teacher that didn't know anything, he suddenly yelled, something that confused everyone around: "WHY?!!!! YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY I AM DOING THIS? THEN WHY DON'T YOU ASK THAT BASTARD THAT IS STANDING NEXT TO YOU???!!!!!"
