81 I'll kill them all!

Nix nodded his head, rubbing his chin, he narrowed his eyes as he thought on how well he could make the task he would give her as challenging as possible.

"I want you to prove to me how much you can grow," he began. "I don't want a dead weight clinging to me."

"Hey!" Lumina nudged him on the side.

Rubbing his side to the pain, "I never mentioned names, and that doesn't mean you are the only one who is trying to cling to me."

Lumina narrowed her eyes at those words, "what are their names, department or ranks?" Her voice grew cold at the thought of the competition.

Nix took a step back at her action, there were sparks of currents traveling across her body as she stared at him.

"Would you calm down? You overthink things." He shook his head, even though he knew her action was mainly due to jealousy, at the very best she shouldn't mistakenly zap him with one of those currents, he was the victim here.

'It's the plot's fault for creating the situation in this way.' He facepalmed.
