A Bet for a Date

Finally, Rael woke up from his beauty sleep, just to find himself sleeping in soap water which had long turned cold.

Fortunately, he wasn't a human so he wouldn't get a cold, quite a blessing and a curse at the same time.

One of the best tricks in the book to make girls fall in love by purposely making them sick and then taking care of them.

He got up from the water, forming ripples in it. Although he wouldn't get a cold, his skin was clearly tearing due to the excess water absorption.

Because of the coldness of the water and the frigid atmosphere, he had to go and take a bath in the shower with hot water, not that he minded but he preferred to bathe with cold water in the morning.

As the water trickled down upon his body, his hands wandered towards his neck where he found himself touching the necklace that snakey gave.

His expressions changed from shock to annoyance and annoyance to calmness...

He found himself touching his lips where Daenerys had kissed.

'I would like to meet her again if possible.'

Rael smiled silently as he got out of the shower naked drying himself with the towel and tying it against his waist.

Opening the bathroom door he noticed that Edward had come back from a workout.

'He must be completing his daily quest missions...' He silently pondered.

Both of them stared at each other right into the eyes before looking away. It seemed that Edward still had a grudge because of what Rael did a day ago.

Edward was like one of those typical cold and arrogant people who think that they are the main characters.

All of a sudden, invisible energy fluctuations started to rise in the room. Vibrating with every passing second, it was pure. A speck of the energy could burn or disintegrate a person to dust.

It was horrifyingly unstable but also serenely stable at the same time. It was purely in mayhem and disorder but also in absolute balance. It was like yin, negative but chaotic.

"Chaos energy..." Rael muttered under his breath.

He looked for the source of energy and noticed that the source was standing in front of him, Edward.

Rael could feel his own energy fill up and a lot of it getting stored in his necklace before it stopped.

Chaos energy is the energy of the beings of abysmal darkness, the evil, the corrupted energy. While the divine energy would be used by beings of pure cleanliness, beings of so-called order. Both the energy being the counterpart of each other, derived from the mother, Nihility.

Good and evil are both sides of a coin. As long as they're good people there will always be evil people. Jealousy, Envy, Anger? It is normal, everyone feels it. All have their own desires and causes.

As long as there is darkness, there will always be light, and as long there is light there will always be darkness, it is normal because both can't be there without each other.

It seemed that Eldritch hadn't noticed a thing, despite Rael gaining a lot of chaos energy which only meant one thing, the energy he absorbed wasn't even a pint of his system's energy.

Why did he have such energy?

Of course, it was not his but the being of the system. The system itself was pure chaos energy. All Rael was doing was absorbing the system.

Why Chaos and not Divine? That was because the system was not of divinity, not a path to become a God but rather a devil or an Eldritch.

"Good Morning." Rael greeted him with a genuine smile, he was happy.

Just by having Edward near him was enough to cheer him up, after all, he was like a personal battery of Rael, created for the sole purpose of getting sucked.

"Good Morning." He replied as he looked at Rael's happy smile.

Edward stared at the back of the running Rael, "Did something good happen with him?"

Rael was now going towards the cafeteria, but before that he stopped near the waterfall, sitting beside it, there were many other people.

His ears perked up when he heard his neighbors talking about a certain old man who won all his fourteen battles, defeating one of the people in the top 500 of the school.

'Did someone record my matches?' He couldn't help but chuckle at the fact if he told everyone that he was the old man.

Suddenly he felt his chaos energy leaving his necklace and going towards his Soul Sea.

Before he could do anything, the energy broke through the soul sea's barrier rendering his martial soul vulnerable and useless.

Rael felt a great amount of pain, not physical but astral, it wasn't damaged but the soul is delicate, even a touch could give pain.

Inside his soul sea, the slime got weary due to the presence of the dominating energy.

The energy went on its way towards Derek's cocoon, which had formed when Rael took him in his soul sea so that he could rest and become a full Asura.

The cocoon absorbed the energy like a black hole, like as if it had never eaten before.

Slowly cracks started to form on it as a horrifying aura came out of it.

Pieces of the shell started to fall, blinding light came from the cocoon, it was a scene right off from a movie.

Like a bird that pops out from an egg.

Like a butterfly from a chrysalis.

Hands stretched from the cocoon as the two hands tore of the sticky wraps around them.

Out came from it a sturdy and tall man, his body delicate looking yet strangely muscular, his face perfect identical to a devil.

His hair blacker than black and his eyes were that of rainbow color. Shining with all seven colors in it.

On his forehead was a strange runic symbol, he gave out a smirk which was tranquil as he bowed to Rael inside the soul sea.

Rael himself was not shocked, looking at the new Derek in front of him. He seemed a very upgraded version of his previous self, it was normal when one's bloodline and species changed.

"Congratulations." That was all he could say to the newly formed Derek.

Derek nodded and showed a gracious gesture which showed that he wanted to speak.

Rael nodded and gestured himself not to make hand signs or talking loudly, he didn't want people near him to think he was a weirdo.

"Speak."

"Your highness, I am your shadow, your enemies are my enemies, your request is my wish and your order is my execution. My given name by the nobility law is Derekiel, Master can still call me Derek." He bowed once again.

Rael nodded, this was his first Asura Ritual as he didn't do any in his previous life.

"So are you still Derek?" Rael asked to be sure.

The handsome man simply shook his head, refusing.

"I am Derek and at the same time not, it would be better to say that I am half Derek and half your shadow, your loyal servant."

Rael nodded, he had already made this speculation. It was like as if two souls had merged to form a new one with its own unique personality. It was like Derek+ Irakiel= Derekiel.

All of a sudden, Derek came out from his soul sea and got absorbed by his shadow.

"Forgive me your highness, but the shadow is more comfortable to be in."

Rael nodded he didn't mind at all. Currently, he just wanted to enjoy his fruits before heading to class.

Today, he didn't buy a ham sandwich.

After all the classes were over, Rael tried his best to escape to the dorm rooms but to his misfortune, all his classmates forced him to head for the personal training session.

Ruthless bastards!

They were even laughing at his misfortune. Being an SSS rank, they were naturally jealous of him.

No one in the world wouldn't want to see another person's misfortune.

Some people even watch cringe stuff so that they can reassure themselves that they themselves are not cringe.

Rael was now on his way to the teacher dorm address which was given to him by Lucy.

On his way to the dorm address, he noticed that no one was there in the area as if he was the only person in the entire area.

'Weird.... why is there no one else except for me in the vicinity?' He pondered for a while but ultimately shrug.

It couldn't be on purpose, right? Surely it was just a coincidence.

Beautiful structures stood in front of him, he checked the address again, and only after confirming did he go to one of the structures.

Ringing the bell he waited for his teacher to open the door.

Finally, the door opened after a few minutes, seriously what took so long to open the door?

He didn't know that the prideful Queen was rehearsing her lines on how to greet and invite him inside.

She opened the door to only to see the silver-haired boy innocently looking at the scenery beside him.

He then turned to look at her with his soul-piercing jade-amethyst noble violet beautiful eyes that could blind the Sun.

A chord struck in her heart, it was as if she was a puppet bound to strings. She gave a beautiful smile to Rael speaking like how she had revised.

"Welcome to my humble abode."

Rael almost froze seeing her smile like that, he nodded to himself, smiles looked better on her rather than the strict expression on her face all the time.

"Why don't you come inside, there is a gym inside." She smirked as she pulled him inside by the hand.

Rael was a bit surprised by the sudden contact but it wasn't as if he didn't like it. Her hands were pappy and smooth like porcelain.

He nodded and stepped inside shamelessly.

As he walked inside he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, the inside was thoroughly cleaned. And it seemed that she was the only person living in the entire area.

This proved his suspicions, the teacher must be too feared by everyone if nobody wanted to live even in the same area.

Umu! He nodded to himself.

Occasionally Lucy would glance at Rael to see what he was doing. Her thighs rubbing looking at him with a lovestruck gaze. She wanted to push him down and ravage him right there.

It was the same for Rael, he couldn't help but take deep glances at Lucifer. She was wearing too revealing clothes. A hot white tank top and white tight shorts which showed her flawless perky butt and assets.

Her hair was flowing down to her waist, he had an urge, an urge to grab that hair and treat her right.

He wanted the woman in front of him, it might be greedy of him for having so many loving and loyal women and still wanting more but he couldn't lie to himself, he truly was of the Greed Bloodline.

If he wants something then he takes it, not caring about anything else.

What is other's is his and what's his is his own, belonging to only him.

He wanted Lucy to belong to him and only him in both body and soul.

The gym wasn't far away. About a ten-minute walk. Rael and Lucy arrived before a fairly big building and walked inside. Upon Lucy's orders, he went to change into his sportswear too.

Soon Lucy came into his view. Rael gulped seeing this woman and he needed to control himself before his dragon would start to act up.

Now that he inspected properly he could see some slight muscles on the girl's body, but that didn't make her less beautiful. Rael thought it was the opposite in fact as he found it made her even more sensual.

Lucy who was secretly blushing because she was peeking on Rael coldly but timidly said, "Well then let's go and see your body's capabilities."

"Okay," Rael said as he followed behind Lucy into the room where all kinds of sports devices were placed.

Things like a treadmill, home trainer, bench press, and many more. Lucy then made him do a light warm-up before they started to measure his various' muscle strength. His arms, legs, back, and abs.

Rael had to use them all to the best of his abilities so that Lucy could get an accurate vision of how strong he was and on what to improve the most.

This continued for quite a bit as Rael's body was put to the test again and again. Rael secretly started to think Lucy liked looking at him struggling and vowed to make sure to return that favor when she was moaning beneath his body because he had already decided to make her his.

After thirty minutes passed Lucy said they were done and Rael could barely move anymore. Muscles all over his body ached like crazy. He wouldn't work out a lot because he was already strong and lazy.

"You really seem to enjoy making me suffer Miss Lucy." He smiled wryly.

Lucy giggled as she said: "You don't have to be so courteous. Lucy is fine. Let's make a routine for you to train your body and days for you to come to train with me."

Rael joked, "What made you think I want to return to a demoness as yourself."

Lucy giggled as she said: "It's your body that's so weak. In a fight, a girl like me can easily wipe the floor with you, despite you being an SSS rank."

Rael rolled his eyes, in a fight, he was sure that no one would be able to beat him, his fragile weak looking body wasn't really weak.

You can't judge a book by its cover.

"Hmph, so what I don't need to have a strong body to defeat someone."

"Oh, you want to bet on that?" Lucy asked raising her eyebrows.

"Sure, but if I win, you go on a date with me." Rael continued shamelessly.

"Eeh?" Lucy flushed a bit red hearing his words.

She wanted this! She wanted to spend time with Rael so inwardly she had decided to train him harder so that he would definitely win.

Poor Rael he dug his own grave now he would have to train more!

"So Lucy what do you think?" He asked hoping that she would accept.

"What if I win?" She asked hesitantly.

"Of course whatever you want." Rael declared without hesitation.

"Okay then deal!" She replied without any reservation.

"Aren't you going to ask me what I want if I win?" Lucy asked half snorting.

"Nope because I am going to win anyway." He replied with a cheerful smile.

Lucy nodded to herself, she was happy he didn't ask because just in case he lost then she would use her favor to make him take her on a date.

So either way, it was a win-win situation.

But so that her dignity wouldn't lose she decided to train Rael to the fullest.

Wait... either way she would lose dignity.... where is her pride?! She is the pride apostle!!!

The answer to this was that she didn't care about her pride when it came to Rael.

"Let's continue with your training." She replied without any delay.

She was ready to train him to a point that he would break and have trauma. All for the sake of the date!!

A remarkable Queen indeed.
