Later, I'll make you pay.

Titan glared at him 'Oh I look like shit? Well, guess what... You look like big shit.' Although she was glaring at him, she was happy deep within. Finally, there was someone she could talk to without having to write it down. She would never let go of him and if he decides to go, she would chase after him.

Zagan chuckled and was about to exit the room when Titan asked. 'Can you accompany me later? I mean... I can show you around the academy and we can get to know each other better. Besides, we are dudes and I don't get to see many males around as I'm the only male in this Academy.'

Zagan thought for a while. It would indeed be great to catch up and get to know his new friend better. However, isn't he hurt right now? Wouldn't that be too much to ask?

'Get some rest. You're still hurt and need time to recuperate.' he answered trying to be considerate.

Titan immediately retorted. 'And who told you such barbaric things?' she stood up from the bed like a steady horse. Thankfully, she had her male outfit on.

'Don't underestimate my healing process. Besides, you're not that skilled to put me down.' she said as a matter of fact.

Zagan chuckled. 'Umm you're right'

Titan scoffed. Why did it feel as if he didn't believe her? 'Wait for me in front of the fortress entrance. I'll be there soon.'

Zagan nodded and finally exited the room. That boy that sounds like a girl is not too bad after all.

Because he hadn't gone far, she heard what he said and beamed.

Titan immediately rushed to the bathroom at the end of the corridor and took a quick bath. She wanted to stay longer in the warm water but she had to rush to meet up with Zagan. It was a good thing that her healing process was extraordinarily fast compared to other people.

She dressed up quickly and this time, she made herself look more masculine in order to erase any form of doubt that still lingered in Zagan's mind.

In front of the hall, stood Zagan. He was throwing a stone in his hand vertically upwards. He always had a pair of gloves on to cover his claws so as not to scare people away.

He had only gotten there a few seconds ago when he heard sudden footsteps from behind him. Not turning around, he asked.

"Did you even bathe at all?"

But after a while, he didn't get any response so he turned and saw an unfamiliar face.

"Hy" came a calm voice. But this wasn't his new friend. This was someone else.

She extended her hand for a shake and Zagan simply raised his brow and didn't stretch his hand at first.

'Who is this and what does she want?' At last, he hesitantly stretched his hand and shook her hand.

The girl revealed a pleasant smile. Her hazel eyes looked like a crescent moon as she smiled and her fair complexion was as bright as daylight. But Zagan didn't seem to notice all these as he simply drew his hand back and stared in a certain direction waiting for a certain person to come.

"My name is Venus. It's nice to meet you," she spoke politely and the gentleness of her voice could make anyone like her.

Zagan looked back at her and bowed slightly to indicate that the pleasure was he's. This act of his made Venus smile lightly.

"Are you waiting for someone?" she asked concerned.

Zagan nodded his head to indicate a 'yes'. Although he had not said a word since she approached him, she wasn't bothered at all. In fact, she didn't mind talking to him like that all day so she didn't ask him to speak. She just went on.

"I couldn't relax so I decided to take a walk and that's when I saw you standing here alone. You know..."

She went on and on, doing all the talking while he listened half-heartedly. Surprisingly, he found her quite interesting and was impressed with how intelligent and strategic she was.

He wasn't even bored in the slightest. Although he wasn't interested at first, as time went on, he began to get attracted. However, he still kept staring in a certain direction and wondered what was taking his new friend so long. Did he suddenly bale out? He wondered. Even if that was the case, he still wanted to wait a while longer.

Just then, he sensed someone approaching. This time, he was sure who it was. It was the sissy. Immediately, his serious expression relaxed and the atmosphere became warmer.

Titan was wearing dark pants and a loose ash shirt. Black boots and had a sword by her waist side. She packed her hair in a ponytail and her unique emerald bulgy eyes looked more beautiful than jade. She had a serious expression as she walked closer making her look breathtakingly autocratic.

Zagan's gaze could not help but linger on her. Why? Why did this sissy give off a male vibe but that face of he's looked so much like a girl. Oh well, it's probably just my imagination.

'Hey! You finally decided to show up.' Zagan started. After making him wait for half a day, this dude finally came.

'I didn't stay that long, quit complaining." Titan retorted completely ignoring the presence of Venus. She didn't mean to ignore Venus, she just didn't notice her.

There were unheard words between the two of them and Venus noticed this.

"Ah, Titan! It's you." Venus welcomed.

It was then that Titan noticed her presence. She didn't say anything and just nodded slightly and turned her attention to Zagan.

'You ready?'

Zagan nodded and turned to Venus to bid her bye.

"You both have somewhere you want to go? Oh is Titan the person you were waiting for?"

Zagan nodded.

"Oh, I see..." Venus tilted her head down in disappointment.

"Can I tag along? I promise I won't disturb both of you... It's just that the other students are in the dining hall and there is no one to chat with right now."

Titan didn't think much about it and just simply shrugged. As long as she wasn't going to disturb them as she said then it was cool. Besides, Venus was not in her bad book as she always minded her business and never really spoke to Titan.

Zagan also didn't see anything wrong with her tagging along. The only problem was that he felt she wouldn't last ten minutes with the both of them because of their inability to communicate out loud.

They walked through the Academy, taking note of all the single details. Indeed, the Academy was large but magnificent. It was impossible to go round the Establishment in one day.

"I heard from the masters that the fight between the both of you was a tie. How awesome!" Venus beamed.

When she heard this, Titan shot Zagan a death glare. But he acted obliviously.

'You lied to me.'

'Nope... I did beat you up till you couldn't walk on your own.' Zagan replied as a matter of fact.

'But she...' Titan wanted to retort his words but before she could finish talking, Zagan cut her short.

'She was just speculating.' When he said this, he had a calm, casual look.

Titan really wanted to beat him up but she reserved it for later. Later, I'll make you pay.
