Chapter 36 - Barrier

He was right there, transforming parts of his body to make himself stronger. However, he was doing it subtly so that no one would notice. Only his eyes had changed, and only someone close enough to him would be able to tell. The only thing that might have alerted the public to his transformation was the roar he had just made. Still, no one had caught on, thinking he was simply frustrated.

After his eyes changed, the accuracy and speed of his movements increased exponentially. I got closer to him while gracefully dodging each of his attacks. I was so close that I could actually whisper to him.

"Nice eyes you got there."

He pushed me away as hard as he could. However, it didn't matter. I got close to him again in an instant.

"You're a demon, aren't you?" I smiled as I dodged his push this time around. "Tell me, how did you infiltrate the Royal Academy?"

No words came out of his mouth, but I could feel the anger in his heart growing more and more.
