Meeting with Helena Parker (2)

Third Person POV ~

"State the reason for your visit, Bitch," Mika demanded, squinting her eyes at Helena.

Helena responded, ignoring Mika's curses.

"I heard you had a disciple, so I came over to check him out; who convinced The Great Mika Amami to accept him as her disciple, I was pretty intrigued about that," Helena paused for a few seconds before continuing.

"And I also heard your disciple's element is electricity; I can give him some pointers," Helena said, her eyes twinkling with stars.

"...."

After hearing her explanation, Mika was speechless, and after a few moments of silence, she furrowed her brows and asked Helena.

"Where did you acquire that information from, bitch? The information guilds have become rather bold, and I don't believe there is any need for them in this world."

Mika spoke with a twisted expression...

Helena giggled as she noticed Mika's contorted expression and replied.

"I never said I received this information from the information guild, did I?"

"Huh!"

Mika furrowed her brow, demanding an explanation.

Helena didn't want to explain herself, so she simply pointed her index finger at Aegis.

As Aegis sensed Mika, Ares, and Helena's gazes, she flinched, becoming the sudden focus of attention, and made a cute squeak.

"Haaahh!"

Mika squinted her eyes at Aegis and spoke...

"What's the meaning of this Aegis, explain why is this bitch here,"

Hearing Mika's furious voice Aegis decided to explain as she cleared her throat.

"Ahem, let me explain. As you'll be leaving tomorrow for your work, I thought Ares should also improve his Mastery in using his element.

And as Helena is a fellow electric user like Ares, don't you think she'll be the perfect teacher for him to improve, hmm?" Aegis explained.

Surprised by the Aegis's explanation Mika yelled...

"WHAT!!"

Mika asked again for confirmation in a furious voice...

"YOU WANT," she said while pointing her index finger toward Helena

"THAT BITCH TO BECOME MY DISCIPLE'S TEACHER," She pointed towards herself with her thumb.

Aegis nodded several times in confirmation while making sounds.

"hmm" "hmm"

"...."

Mika was speechless hearing Aegis's words, she pressed her temples using her right hand as if she was getting a headache...

'You're insane; you want her to steal my precious disciple from me; yep, that b*tch will steal my disciple; I should just kill her; yeah, everything will be good if I just kill her; yeah, I should do that...' Mika kept her head down, her face hidden by her hair, and muttered in a quick, low voice like a broken record.

POV Ares ~

When I noticed the gloomy atmosphere near Mika, I hurried towards her because I was afraid that if I didn't act now, something terrible would happen here...

I grabbed Mika's right hand with both of my hands and called her repeatedly. She began releasing her aura and crackling sounds could be heard throughout the mansion.

Hearing the crackling sounds, I yelled out in desperation...

"Master.., Master.., snap out of it," I shouted and pulled her hands towards me but she still didn't move an inch.

"This is bad," I mumbled rapidly as I looked towards Aegis and Helena to seek their assistance, but my face paled when I saw them.

They were both paralyzed by Mika's pressure, and blood was streaming from their noses and mouths, with fear and shock visible on their faces...

They couldn't even brush the blood away because their bodies had frozen.

Helena was gritting her teeth and enduring the pain, while Aegis appears to be okay as she uses her healing magic on herself not far away...

Despite the fact that Aegis and Helena are S-Rank adventurers, there is a significant difference between S-RANK and SS-RANK adventurers...

Mika's pressure does not reach me, as if it is ignoring me, which is why I am unaffected.

Even in her bad state of mind she still doesn't want to see me get hurt, I don't know if I should laugh or cry at this predicament...

'Her obsession for me is now to the point of no return, in the beginning, I thought I could deal with it somehow, but things will become quite troublesome in the future...,' I thought to myself and sighed.

I looked Mika in her eyes which now seemed like an abyss that can engulf everything if stared at it for too long.

I shook my head to clear my mind and utilized my element to cover my entire body with electricity, jumping towards Mika's neck and wrapping my hands around her neck, and gripping her hard while screaming her name.

"MIKA STOP!!"

I shrieked, biting her collarbone as hard as I could while still engulfed in lightning. I held my breath for a few seconds before retracting my teeth, leaving a bite mark on her collarbone and a small quantity of blood flowing from it...

I should grow my height as soon as possible. While hugging Mika, I thought to myself.

Mika shuddered and awoke from her trance, and in a matter of seconds, the pressure dissipated and the atmosphere restored to normal... For a few seconds, the entire mansion was deafeningly quiet.

I was still hugging Mika, and she soon returned my hug with one hand while stroking my hair with the other.

To break the silence, Aegis came running toward us with watery eyes, apologized to Mika repeatedly, and began crying like a small girl, which doesn't seem to match her appearance.

"I am sorry miikaa, I'm sooo soouurry" wahhh

wahh because of me wahh...

"...."

'How old are you, 12?'

Only Aegis's sobbing could be heard throughout the mansion; I'd never seen her act like that before, I thought to myself...

Mika stopped stroking my hair and hugged Aegis with that arm to make her stop crying.

We stayed there until Aegis stopped her sobbing ...and after a few seconds, Mika finally let go of me and Aegis.

she then turned towards Helena who was sitting on the floor while her knees folded on either side, she was wiping blood from her face using the sleeves of her jacket not paying us any attention, and lost in her world...

The beautiful and dignified appearance she had when she arrived was now nowhere to be seen...

But she still looked hot in that position...

I shook my head to come out of my thoughts as I heard Mika's voice,

"Bitch!" she shouted while glaring at Helena. Helena replied to her stutteringly,

"Wh-What,"

Mika spoke again while squinting her eyes...

"I will allow you to train my disciple, but you have to follow some of my conditions,"

After hearing Mika's words Helena stared at her for a few seconds then stood up from the ground and answered...

"Alright,"

Soon Mika and Helena left towards the training hall to discuss these matters and only me and Aegis were left alone surrounded by destroyed glasses broken furniture, cracked floors, and Embarrassed Aegis with her flushed face averting her eyes from me...

And silence befell in the hall for a good few seconds as we both kept quiet without uttering a single word, I was embarrassed too but I didn't show it on my face but soon Aegis broke the silence and spoke.

"Don't mind them, they're always like this,"

"Huh," I unknowingly made that sound as I was quite confused by what she said as I didn't read anything about Mika and Helena having any type of connection in the novel.

Seeing my confused expression Aegis explained.

"They may not show it, but Mika and Helena are childhood friends who have been through life and death together since they were very little.

It may appear that they despise each other and that neither will care if the other is dead, but that is not the case; if anything bad happens to any of them, they will be there for each other."

I just gave her a skeptical glance because Mika and Helena don't seem to be close.

"...."

Aegis spoke up when she noticed my doubtful expression.

"It may sound cringe, but hear me out, a few years ago Mika was hurt quite badly during the subjugation of a terrorist group and had quite a few broken bones and was getting treated by me, at the time Mika was not that strong as she is now.

Soon Helena came to visit her and after seeing her condition..., Helena became furious and gathered the information about the location of their bases and rushed towards where the terrorist base was and wiped them from the world.

Helena was stronger than Mika at the moment, but Mika soon surpassed her and became a transcended being, and she aided Helena numerous times as well.

Their friendship soured when Helena joined 'that' organization for personal reasons and declined Mika's assistance.

Mika had been calling her 'bitch' instead of her name since that day," Aegis eventually stopped after saying that.

"...."

'That was a lot of an info dump there,' I sighed, shaking my head.

When Aegis starts talking, she doesn't stop until she finishes what she's saying.

Aegis fled, wishing to hide her embarrassment, after finishing her story about Mika and Helena's friendship, and left me alone in the hallway..

"...."

Soon I saw the sun going down from the broken windows,

'Today was quite hectic, I saw a lot of embarrassing moments of Mika, Aegis, and Helena,' I thought to myself and chuckled inwardly while leaving the hall...
