Seven Sins System Chapter 68. Who Is It?
Azrael's PoV
"I think it's enough for now, we will continue this another time," I said. It was 06.41 PM and I only had less than 20 minutes to prepare myself before picking up Julia so I decided to end our training.
"Thank you, sir," answered Fiona politely. The two of us stood facing each other near a bench where we met.
"Don't mention it. Just remember what I said. If you have no other choice, rather than spend all your Magic Power on the barrier, you should try to break through and run to your team or hide. Your survival chance is much higher than staying still. If you need time to escape, attack your enemy's eyes or legs and use that chance to escape. Don't push your luck to kill him," I reminded her once again.
"I understand," she replied.
"Okay, see you tomorrow then." I just turned around, but she called me again.
"Wait, sir."
I stopped and turned to her. "Yes?"
My sight could catch a clear nervousness on her face.
"Um... What do you think about me?" she said with a blushing face.
A confused frown appeared on my forehead.
"Huh?" I would assume she wanted to make a love confession if not because we just finished training.
Realizing my confusion, she quickly corrected her words.
"I mean. I realize I'm a little clumsy. I tripped a couple of times and you keep helping me with your barrier. Can I do as well as you one day?" she pointed out what she meant.
Actually, it was more than a couple of times since she kept turning at me rather than concentrating on what was in front of her. That was a fatal mistake on the battlefield. If she got separated from her team, she was 100% dead for sure. That was why I taught her this. Because I realized she was relying too much on her team and what she was doing was tailing Julia.
I held my cringe.
'No, you can't. Unless you can live for over 500 years and become a demon like me,' I thought. But of course, I couldn't say it directly.
Still, it was not like I was going to sweet-talk to her.
"You still have to try to work on your balance and everything. Especially your concentration. Don't let your emotions take over the way you fight. Use your logic and take the most efficient way to win the battle. Look around and consider the risks of every decision you make," I advised.
"I see… Looks like I still have a lot to learn." I caught a trace of disappointment in the tone of her voice.
I gave a gentle pat on her shoulder.
"Take it easy. We still have plenty of time. Besides, you are still in your early semesters," I cheered her up.
She nodded with a shy smile.
"Okay, I have to go now or I'll be late for dinner," I ended our conversation.
But she opened her voice again. "Um… sir?"
"Hmm?" I hummed.
She lowered her head and fiddled her fingers.
"You know… I don't mind having dinner with you one day." I could catch her face getting redder.
Then she raised her head. Her eyes were on me.
"I mean, I'll pay for it. I know you are broke. Just think of this as payment for my private training," she added quickly.
I was glad she understood my financial situation but since I was the Lord of Wrath and once had the skill to create gold out of stones. So it kinda irritated me. Alas, what she said was true. I gave her a dry smile.
"I will think of it. Later," I replied. After giving her a simple goodbye wave, I rushed to my dorm.
As I strode, I turned my head towards the academy building. My eyes fell on the row of windows along the corridor. Somehow I felt that someone was watching me from there, it was just that I didn't feel any killing intent and only felt it for a moment.
But my sight didn't catch a single shadow. What I saw was an empty corridor even though the light was still on. Although the mortals' eyes couldn't catch what was there, my sight could see it just fine.
'I wonder if it's one of my stalkers,' I guessed. Of course, I meant that twin vampires, Evie or Rachel.
It was weird since they didn't come up to me or talk to me when my double left the store. What they did was follow me to the front of the male dorm and leave.
Based on what I saw from my other tentacle, the one who looked curious and wanted to approach me was Evie. She even came out of her hiding place and approached my double before she entered the dorm. But her hesitation stopped her steps in front of the entrance and left after my double disappeared from her sight.
I turned my gaze forward. Other thoughts filled my head as doubt filled my heart. Although I knew the possibility that one of my stalkers was the light dimension's spy and they had their own reasons for following me, the possibility was still there.
A long exhale came out of my mouth.
"Ha… I wish I still had my old power," I muttered. And not on this mission of course. So I could act as myself, the Lord of Wrath, and offer them a contract. Just as I offered Red to be my servant.
But again, that meant my power was stuck there and I didn't want it. Like it or not I wanted to break through my limit and become more powerful.
I entered the male dorm's entrance and got into the elevator. In a rush, I changed my clothes and sprayed some cologne. Perfume was a bit expensive for my budget, so I should be happy with this half-price cologne. Well, I kinda liked the masculine smell though.
After I checked my appearance in the mirror, I went out again to meet Julia. Luckily, I still had a few minutes left, thanks to my tentacles that had helped me a lot.
But when I got closer to the female dorm, my sight could catch a familiar man figure in front of it. Theo.
