As they walked through the dining hall, students began to peep through the window.
[It's a rare occasion to see such beauties all at once.] It was such a rare occasion to have such eye-blinding beauties walk together on a sunny afternoon. Because the match between Zagan and Titan was serious yesterday, no one noticed Zagan's ethereal look.
[Who's the one beside Titan?] One of the students could not help but ask.
[I've never seen that face before. He's probably from another academy.]
[Oh wait! I know... He must be one who fought with Titan at the final round. Oh my... He looks like a god.]
[Really? How didn't I pay attention to that? And how comes he looks more handsome than yesterday?]
[What are you saying? He looks better than a god.]
As Venus heard all their comments, she couldn't help but grin. It felt good to walk in the company of such handsome males.
Zagan on the other hand turned a deaf ear to their comments even though he could hear them very well. Titan, couldn't help but scoff at the fact at Zagan was the one receiving all the praises.
'Ha! Better than a god my foot. The orange headed green-eyed dude looks nothing like a god. It's best to classify him as a pumpkin.' When she thought of this, she pouted. How could Zagan be receiving all the praises while they just used her name to reference him...
'I didn't know you pay attention to things like those.' Zagan directed his question to Titan which caught her off guard.
'He heard me? I thought I concealed my thoughts then how come he heard me?' Titan wondered.
'Of course, I heard you and I'm still hearing you.' Zagan explained.
'Huh? But how? I thought I could conceal my thoughts from you.' Titan pouted in a pitiful state. It's annoying to share all her thoughts with this guy whom she wanted to keep a lot of secrets from.
'It's had to conceal your thoughts when you're jealous. It's written all over your face you know...' Zagan explained further causing Titan to glare at him. He didn't hear her thoughts instead, her expression sold her out.
'Ha! ...' She smiled awkwardly. Had she been caught red-handed?
Most of the students kept ogling at the three individuals who slowly walked away.
When they were out of sight, Titan immediately punched Zagan.
'Ouch! what did I do?'
'That is for lying about hearing my thoughts and this...' She punched him again. This time, it was harder than the first but she didn't target any sensitive part in his body... Just his shoulder, causing him to wiggle and fall sideways.
'Is for lying to me about yesterday's results.' After the second punch, she took a deep breath of fresh air while Zagan held onto his pitiful shoulder.
'Phew...' She spread her hands and enjoyed her victory. The smell of victory does feel good.
"Hey what did you do that for?"
Venus was ignorant of what was going on. She stared at Titan as if she had hurt a god and will suffer the wrath any moment from now...
"Are you okay?" she squatted down to help Zagan up. Although Titan's punches were like a slap by the wind, he still pretended and fell on his own.
Titan still had her eyes facing the beautiful greenery and simply reprimanded him through her thoughts.
'You're shameless! Look how you're making the poor girl get all worked up when you know in actual fact that you weren't hurt even in the slightest. If you really want to fake the fact that those punches hurt, then just let me give you a proper beating so that you can just go ahead and wail all you want. I won't hesitate to do that you know...' Titan spoke every single word as a matter of factly.
'What? I like the attention I'm getting are you jealous that you aren't the one getting the attention of such a beautiful girl?' When he said this, he had a nonchalant expression on his face.
Titan immediately turned around and shot him a glare of daggers.
'You're unbelievably shameless. Urgh...'
Zagan's side lips curled up in a mischievous smile
'So what if I'm shameless? Can't I act like this once in a while?'
Titan scoffed and turned back to look at almost forgotten scenery.
"Are you okay? Let me take a look at..." Venus was about to touch his shoulder when he pulled away and shook his head indicating that there was no need for that.
"Oh! Okay..." she felt a little disappointed but in the next minute, her face lit up again.
"Isn't it beautiful out here?" she asked as she stared at the greenery which Titan was staring at.
Zagan just walked up to the scene and stared at the bunch of grasses that covered the ground. 'What was so beautiful about such a mono-colored place?'
When he said this, he didn't conceal his thoughts causing Titan to almost chock on her saliva. This dude had no idea what it meant to "enjoy the moment."
He just succeeded in ruining her peaceful mood. She stopped staring at the scenery and stepped back.
'We should head back. We could do enough catching up anyway because your devotees are all around the school premises I can't even tell if they are secret wardens.' When she said this, she was referring to Venus who didn't turn back even when she knew that her presence was disturbing.
'Ah? Where? I can't see any.' Zagan behaved obliviously causing Titan to glare at him again.
'Okay okay fine. Let's head back.' He replied. He didn't know why but with Titan, he behaved differently.
Soon, they got back to the tower. Venus was the first to bid them or maybe, just one of them goodbye.
"Thank you for bringing me along. I've very grateful. Can we maybe catch up again tomorrow? Besides, the masters have not finalized the day for you to return to your academy so maybe we can still catch up before you leave. That's if it's fine by you."
Zagan raised his brow before politely rejecting her offer. He then wrote on the ground, "training"
"Oh! I see...That's not a problem. I could just come and watch as you practice." Zagan shrugged signifying that that's up to her.
She then turned to Titan and waved goodbye. And Titan just nodded slightly.
After she was gone, Titan walked straight up to her room leaving Zagan stupefied. What just happened?
Although he had no idea why Titan was overreacting, he couldn't control the action of his lips as the side curled up.
He walked up to the room assigned to him and his master but as he walked in, he was welcomed by the emptiness of the room.
He had been out all day, enjoying the company of his new friend. He almost forgot how lonely his life was and thought that he could hold on to that life forever.
He sighed inwardly thinking about how his life would return to what it used to be very soon.
Taking a blanket, he got on his bed and tried to sleep. After few hours of tossing and turning, he couldn't sleep. Whenever he closed his eyes, only one image comes to his head. And this image did not help in making him sleep.
Soon, he got out of bed and began to walk in a certain direction.
