Chapter 133

Lucky 133

Leon Abhorwell.

He was a bodyguard that the Clan gave to Marianne to protect her. He met Marianne when she was fifteen. Marianne was the niece of the current Clan Leader of their Clan, the Francine Clan. Although Leon had a hidden motive, and he was going to achieve it soon. 

Leon worked under the Francine Clan because of one purpose, to find the best sacrifice. Leon was a spy from the famous cult called the Council of Torment. Based on that name alone, it was obvious that their intention was not good. And yes, Timmy and Sacko were part of that cult. Leon knew them and sometimes they would communicate with each other. 

...….

....

….

But first, let's start with Marianne.

Because of Marianne's physical appearance, the natural reactions of nature to her, and her Term Attribute, the Elders and Clan Leader deemed her as a special girl. 

Since birth, she already had the characteristics of Elves with her pointy ears and blue eyes. Although some of her peers had the same development. 

However, her characteristics as an Elves further developed as she grew up until she realized that animals adored her and the trees would give her flowers and fruits unknowingly. It was a mysterious influence of being an Elf, nature would always love her. 

That's when Marianne realized that she was special, her appearance and her surroundings acknowledged that. Whenever someone talked to her, Marianne could see the infatuation in their eyes. She could even see it in the eyes of her parents. 

Yet despite knowing that she was special, Marianne understood that she was not a Goddess. She realized it when she turned 15, the age of Awakening the Term Attribute. 

Of course, her awakening was exactly the same just like the other people. She found that she could create bullets using any liquid. In fact, even her Fuel wasn't that hard to perform. 

… That's when everything started to fuck up, Marianne's standing further elevate and the Clan members started to see her as a Goddess, even when she's not. She was treated as something so important, but she was not a person, more like an object, an idol. Someone who would bring greatness to their Clan. 

The Elders and the Clan Leader put importance on her, together with expectations that were slowly corrupting Marianne. 

People see her as a perfect being, the most loved by the nature, Marianne was getting suffocated. She had to meet their expectations, or else her existence would be denied, she trained hard until she mastered her Term Attribute. 

"I have to be the best."

Marianne became obsessed with getting stronger that she didn't hesitate to hurt the people around her. Whenever she was frustrated, she would look at the bodyguards that were working to protect her… Yup, sometimes she would use them as target practice, and even Leon experienced it thrice before Marianne excluded him because of his loyalty(?)

She only had to become strong, which she did. But things were not going well when other talented people sprung up. Scarlett appeared and she had the ability to control fire, the exact opposite of her. The two of them were always compared to each other and Marianne didn't like it. So she always proved to them that she was stronger. Her two years in school were quite frustrating because of that. 

...…

...

…

Except for the guy who peeked at her while she was peeing, Calix Romoel. Marianne loathed that person so much. And the same time, she was quite happy and amused seeing him injured. She liked him groveling on the ground, covered with blood, and had weak breathing. Calix was her entertainment in high school. 

Because of him, Marianne was…

...…

...

…

"You, why are you here!?"

She scoffed at Calix who had his hands tied. They were both in a wide cage and there was no way out. 

Calix found a sharp end at the cage and cut the ropes, he was not surprised that he could cut the ropes without a problem. After cutting the ropes that tied his hands, Calix turned to Marianne who was looking at him with disgust. 

"Huh, what are you looking at?"

She scoffed.

Just as always, Marianne has this elegant aura around her. As if she was the child of God, Calix admitted that Marianne had enough reason to be proud of her appearance. Because she was truly beautiful. If she controlled her temper, perhaps Calix might see her from another angle.

"... Nevermind."

Calix shook his head, he didn't listen to her. Instead, he started looking around and studied the surrounding. He looked at the cage and found that there was no weak spot. He was wondering how his Luck would work. After all, his powers always work to his favor, one way or another. 

"Hey, don't you dare turn your back on me!"

Marianne was insulted and pulled his back. Calix turned around and face her, he clicked his tongue in annoyance. 

"What?"

"… I- I said, why are you here!?"

For a second, Marianne was startled because Calix changed so much, or perhaps his true self returned. His eyes were so dark as if the abyss was staring at her. Anyway, Marianne almost bit her tongue because of shock. Calix was staring at her as if she was an object… It sent shivers down her spine, and she didn't like it. 

"Hmmph!! just because you and I are in a cage doesn't mean that you can do anything to me! I'm warning you, I can beat you even without the help of my power."

She was confident about that. She mastered different martial arts. 

"Okay, okay."

Yet Calix didn't listen to her and he just changed his vision looking at the outside. He didn't want to talk to her. Calix hated her, that's the simplest answer. 

No one in their right mind would be happy to be in a room together with his almost- murderer. In fact, Marianne should be glad that Calix was being a good guy. 

Because Calix was holding himself, or else he might do something to her. Revenge, even a person like him had this certain emotion. After all, he's just a human. It was not a petty reaction. Calix had so much respect for women but Marianne was a different creature. 

For a second, what Leon said lingered in his mind-- to take revenge. 

For two years, he suffered because of her. Being beaten till he lay on the ground with bruises all around. However, despite being under that kind of misery, Calix never kneeled and asked for forgiveness. He was innocent in the first place. So he gained another injury because of that. Calix always fight his bullies but because Marianne was always protected by dozens of bodyguards, Calix couldn't win against her. Besides, Marianne was a TA user so Calix didn't have a chance of winning at that time. 

That's why Calix was holding a grudge. He might agree to Leon's proposition. The idea of getting his revenge, either by beating or rap(i)ng Marianne was not that bad.

So Calix averted his gaze, Marianne is indeed a beauty but Calix already fucked four beautiful women, so he was immune to her charm.
