"How do I know you'll stay away from Ella after you lose?" The truth was I didn't trust the bastard even a tiny bit especially after his pride would be broken.

"How about we both swear to the goddess that well uphold our ends of the bet" Leon had a thoughtful expression before speaking offhandedly.

"…." I narrowed my eyes feeling as if this as his true goal the entire time.

To swear upon the goddess was the same as a binding contract that couldn't be taken back. Not following it could lead to misfortune and even death depending on the severity, For me who had the goddess blessing the effects would became even more vicious if I broke my word. It wasn't that I thought Leon could win even a million years but I knew that swearing on the goddess should be done with much thought.

"Alright" Yet I agreed knowing that Leon wouldn't be able to go near Ella without risking his life.

"Good!" Leon's face morphed into a bright smile while clapping his hands together once.

"Then I'll do the first honors hero" He didn't hesitate to raise one of his hands and close his eyes.

"I swear upon the goddess that I will uphold my end of the agreement" He spoke calmly and I awarded as golden energy seemed to shimmer into existence.

The sight would have been magical if not for the dark skinned bastard it was happening to, Golden wisps slowly trailed over his body seemingly digging into skin before disappearing. Leon let out a low grunt of discomfort and opened his eyes keeping them narrow.

"That's very unpleasant" He muttered as if disgusted leaving me staring at him with a similar expression.

'Of course the goddesses powers would feel disgusting to a bastard like you' I thought as Leon looked toward me silently waiting for me to do the same.

"I swear upon the goddess that I will uphold my end of the agreement" I mirrored his words and I slowly felt my blessing start to move around in my body.

"Mn" It was a pleasant feeling as if drinking water after hours of hard training.

Most were unable to picture their mana channels and could only sense them but I was apart of the rare few. I could see some of my mana slowly taking the form of what looked like small chains that clenched together in a small sphere, I had only swore to the goddess once in my life yet perhaps because of how much stronger I was the contract felt more intense.

"Then that's it" Leon clapped his hands with an expression of pure joy and a viscous smirk painted upon his face.

"You won't be smiling for long bastard" I didn't bother to say anything more while continuing down the hallway.

"Is that so?" Leon stared at me as I walked past him and I couldn't help but purposely bump into his shoulder.

"Ugh" A low groan of pain left his mouth as he stumbled back and quickly rubbed his arm.

"…." He glared at me which I didn't even bother to acknowledge while feeling my steps turn lighter.

'After today at least that bastard won't be able to touch Ella' The thought made my heavy heart from Nessa's earlier actions release some of it's weight.

'I should go find her' I muttered in my head deciding to put breakfast on hold for a little while longer.

***********

Ella was an open book to me ever since we were young children, She was a perfectionist who always tried to over perform on anything we did. When I was six years old I remember playing a game that had became popular around the village, I was very good at it and beat Ella every time for a couple of days

Yet she never gave up despite her pouts she would give whenever I won, Eventually Ella reached the point where I couldn't even beat her once. It was a humbling experience for a young boy to have the girl he likes completely destroy him while he was trying to impress her. 

'I still can't beat her in that' Of course I tried my luck a few times over the past couple of years not to still fall short.

It didn't bother me like it did when I was a child since I knew Ella's personality better then anyone. in fact I thought such determination was truly impressive which is why I strived to be like her. I wasn't the only one either, I knew Nessa and Alexia took inspiration as well.

That was the exact reason I knew exactly where Ella would be this early in the morning. My feet slid across the concrete floor of the empty training yard while the sounds of low grunts filled my ears, The voice was easily recognizable and soon I was greeted to the view of my fiancé. 

"…." The sight was lewd enough to make me almost trip and stumble.
