Flames are meant to be dominated

"I refuse." I say that to her clearly. "I won't be seduced that easily."

I look at her with disdain clear on my face. In reality, I am just having fun with her since I remembered that there was a plot like this in the original work.

"Wh-WHAT?! WHO IS SEDUCING YOU?!"

"You."

I reply while pointing at her.

"I just asked you if you were willing to take a bath together. How is that seducing?"

"I guess Yeon Family must be pretty open. If it allows boys and girls to take a bath together."

"Yo-you are a boy?!"

Her face is a mixture of many emotions that I would rather not describe, too much work to think about.

"I thought that was pretty obvious."

I say this while raising an eyebrow and walking towards her.

"But then why are you my roommate? Al-Also are you re-really from FUG?"

She asks me while stuttering a bit.

"How would I know? And yes."

At my answer she backpedals a bit and also a panicking expression appeared on her face.

"Why are you retreating from me?"

I ask her with my amusement clearly shown on my face.

"Are you going to stay in this room and not move to a different one?"

She tries to change the subject, and I play along to see what she is upto.

"Why would I move to a different room? This was assigned to me."

In all honesty, I could probably move to a different room but why would I do that? The rooms were probably given according to the rankings. And I am having fun teasing this girl, so why would I remove my source of entertainment myself? She reminds me of Rin quite a bit, though Rin ran away from me for quite a while from when we first met. As time went by later on.... cough, cough.

My mind is going on a weird tangent now.

"Th-That's true, but you should since you are a boy."

She says that to me in a low voice while looking sideways but she suddenly raises her to make eye contact and also raises her voice.

"If you're planning to ask for something because you helped me. Don't even think about it."

"Oh? What do you think I will ask for?"

She then suddenly gets embarrassed and breaks eye contact with me and mutters.

"Um... well like....my body..?"

"Pfft ha, hahaHahah..!"

My eyes open wide at this and I start laughing and after stopping I say something to provoke her.

"I am not interested in your body."

That's a lie, though not completely. It's because she has a beautiful body, I don't really have much interest in her as a person. At least not yet.

"Yo-you..!"

I hear an angry voice and see an angry face in front of me. She wants to burn me and is beginning to release her flames indiscriminately. But I just stop her and her Shinsu with my Reverse Flow Control. This basically works, by reversing the Shinsu flow to the normal flow and hence stopping the opponent's action. It's a difficult technique to learn for normal Regulars but for someone like me it's very easy. In fact, I didn't even need to learn this myself. I just inherited this from Bam's memories when he learned this from that Scout Ranker on the Floor of Tests.

After stopping her movement and the flames like time has stopped, I slowly walk towards her step by step.

"Tsk, tsk. Such abysmal flame control from a Yeon Family member is just shameful."

I shake my head and then produce a flame on my hand, a red colored flame that heats up the room while being tennis ball size. I release the girl and absorb her flames to improve my own. The Yeon girl just looks towards the flame in my hand with astonishment.

"Why are you afraid of flames? You should either dominate the flames or be friends with it. But you should never ever fear the flames or let it control you. For me personally, flames are meant to be dominated."

After I said that, I turned around went to my bed and started meditating. The girl didn't disturb me after that.

But why did I do that? I don't know myself, but did I just hate the fact that she controlled the flames so badly that I helped her? Or does these flames make me more impulsive or is it that I have some affinity with flame users? Well whatever the case may be, I shouldn't care too much about this. Let's just practice the Shinsu Loop technique.

This technique actually gives me the feeling that I am a cultivator from those Chinese novels. But this steady increase of power gives me quite an addictive feeling. I can now see why some of the characters in those novels are cultivation maniacs.

And so in this way, a day passed and the final test began the next day.

***

"Congratulations Regulars on passing the final test. You are now qualified to go upto the 21st Floor. And you are now an E Rank Regular."

The final test ended without any hiccups in our team's win. It was a capture the flag type of test in a vast area covered by two mountains. The peaks of the mountains had the flag that each team of 8 had to protect and also capture from the other team.

I easily went ahead and captured the enemy flag while leaving the rest of them to protect our own.

"Follow me if you want to head to the next Floor."

All of us, follow him to a Floating Ship.

"Enter this Floating Ship Regulars, it will take you to the next Floor. Now goodbye to you all, I hope you reach the top and have your wishes come true."

We enter the ship and after a bit it takes off. What I didn't know at the time was that my score at the punching machine in the 20th Floor's second test was publicized by FUG to increase my notoriety. But not that I would have cared much about it anyway.

After reaching the 21st Floor, I just headed my own way ignoring the others. Since I don't really care enough about them. At most, they can be comedic relief for me but I don't need that to be honest with you. Also it's not like they like me anyway.

But...

"Wait for me..!"

A certain voice seems begs to differ, it seems.

=====Chapter End=====

Man I wrote this chapter after sleeping for like 14 hours. So forgive me if you didn't like the quality of this chapter. Anyway the chapter has now ended but my rant will begin here. You can read it if you want, I would love to hear your opinions about it. Though many might probably call me an insecure cunt and that's fine.

So I recently read a fanfic in which the author brought up this point and I totally agree with it. It's about the inner voice, it's Heroine Eavesdropped on my Voice of Heart or something like that. The grammar is not that great but the story is quite entertaining for me who likes cultivation novels.

Anyway, the point that the author brought up is yuri. And that he hates yuri because of certain works he read. And I agree with him.

Now now don't get me wrong, I am not homophobic or anything like that. I am not hating on the yuri genre as a whole. I hate yuri when it's within a harem. And I am not talking about yuri moments in a threesome or a foursome, though those do bother me a bit but not too much. The ones that truly bother me are the ones in which the MC is somewhere and the girls are having fun among themselves. This gives an NTR vibe to me.

Many of you might say that MC doesn't have any right to question these females on what they do among themselves. And that is true to a certain extent, but the females who entered the harem should be entering because of the MC not the other girls. So they should understand that they chose that relationship. But if they do it in spite of that, I don't know what to say.

There was also this one fanfic where Hachiman was the MC. He formed a relationship with Akeno, but because of his preconceived notions about monogamous relationships, he didn't confess to Rias even though he was attracted to her because he felt a bit guilty about it. And I think that's fine. That plot was quite good until something happened that made almost no sense to me. Akeno suddenly started kissing Rias and then had sex with her. And then Akeno told Rias to enter Akeno's harem(basically Rias and Hachiman) so that the three of them can be happy together. And I was like bitch what? I basically dropped that fic right then and there. This was more than a month ago but yeah I got reminded of that.

First of all, I don't personally like the idea of Akeno and Rias having a yuri relationship. It just ruins DxD for me as a whole. I mean whoever has the idea of making them yuri suddenly is certainly retarded as fuck because if they were yuri they would have done that in the 7 years before the plot began. I personally regard them as having a sibling like relationship, with Akeno being a bit protective towards Rias but that's it. There is nothing sexual involved there.

The bottom line is that I don't like yuri within a harem. It's like having yaoi in a reverse harem. Can you see how disgusting that is?

Now many of you might call me an insecure cunt for this and you might be right since I do have trust issues. For all intents and purposes, I am sort of like a yandere in anime terms. And irl I wouldn't make a harem even if I had a chance to, if I really had someone I loved due to above reasons.

The reason I know that is because I think I have fallen in love before. And man did that obsession not end well. My first relationship was destroyed because of that.

My second relationship ended with a green hat on my head, so yeah I have some trust issues. Thankfully I didn't think I loved her, since I was only depressed about it and not angry. Of course I ended relationship with her when I found out.

So yeah, you won't see any yuri in this fanfic unless I genderbend the MC in some verse.

Anyway, thanks for reading and see you later.
