CH-16 Monke in love?

A few moments back

Scáthach POV

Another day passed as I could do nothing but live. I can no longer remember exactly how much time has passed since the first time I picked up a spear in my hand. I, who has guarded the 'Gates' have long since acquired wisdom enough to measure the exact time.

However, I simply do not feel like doing it.

Another day will pass-

It seems the Isle of Skye has a challenger, does he has the potential to prevent me from my fate? I should not hope much as I've already become 'The Gatekeeper' of these lands, unable to die.

Rather than lamenting, it is better to extinguish the false flame of hope by seeing him with my own eyes.

I moved towards the entrance of the Isle only to see the man taking out a staff. It just seems to be a stone staff. I should check the potential that man has.

Are my eyes playing tricks on me? I shall examine him again.

It's the same result again. How can a mortal exist without any limits? This should not be possible.

And how can he use magecraft without any magic circuits?

(A/N) - referring to when Monke levitates his staff}

What is happening today? All of the Isles are destroyed and I could do nothing but stand and think about my wish coming true.

"Stop and come back Yeoui. Now will you come out and stop staring or shall I drag you out?"

So he knows that I am here. Why play this pointless game then? I summoned my spear and went ahead while getting ready to battle.

Present

Jin POV

"I shall not enquire about your wish but very well, I accept your challenge as the Queen of the Land of Shadows, Witch of Dún Scáith, and on my name as Scáthach."

'Good. Perfect. Let's see if the feeling I had felt after seeing her the first time was love or something else.'

[Hmm. I thought you'll ask her to get marry you after the fight. At least you have some decency Host.]

'Naturally. If it is love then we'll see if she feels the same or not.'

[If it's not?]

'Think positive sometimes Eva!'

"So, let's make the conditions clear. If you manage to shed a drop of my blood within an hour, you win. You are free to do anything you want during the hour." This should be enough. She's going to give her all to the fight, So I shouldn't be that careless. Let's see If she can surprise me.

"Fighting in the Land of Shadows would be disadvantageous to you." Pftt that's funny but yeah no laughing you Monke!

"No, it's fine to fight there. I don't mind." I put Yeoui back inside my right glove. "Shall we go?"

"It seems like you aren't using your staff as well."

"My body is enough for now and you won't be able to take a hit from Yeoui with your current power.." Ohhh it looks like she's a bit angry. Makes sense, She has her pride as a warrior.

"Follow me then and don't regret it later." She looks beautiful even when she's angry.

[You're officially a simp Host.]

'Naah I'm not. Yet.

[...]

Land of Shadows

1 hour later -

Scáthach POV -

I lost.

The Immortal Queen of the Land of Shadows just lost a battle in her own territory.

I'm sure if the people I had slayed in those countless years would laugh in my face If they know that the one that killed them lost this miserably.

It shouldn't even be called a fight.

I had no chance from the beginning. Seeing his confident face as he made those conditions should've made me suspicious but my own pride blocked my vision.

Even though I lost completely, what is this feeling inside my chest?

Right.

It's the lust for battle. The feeling I had when I started my journey and the same feeling that made me who I am today.

Rather than feeling hopeless, I feel the need to get stronger. Strong enough to not lose and strong enough to beat him.

"I shall Thank You for this opportunity Jin Mori."

He just looked at me and smiled.

I shall make you my goal and train until I get past you.

Jin's POV

"I shall Thank You for this opportunity Jin Mori." She looks grateful so that's good. Much better than being angry at me.

A smile came on my face by itself as I heard those words.

'Yeah, I think I'm starting to like her more and more with each second.'

[Simp.]

'...'

[Looks like the rings are gonna be more useful.]

'...'

[Right now, your face looks like you already found a mother for Lucinda.]

'Fuck you Eva!'

I don't why but I'm feeling something is not right.
