Chapter 48: The Deed.

(Third Person POV)

"Grey, what are you doing?" asked Agata who just arrived with a tray of juice.

Grey lifted up his hand from the shoulder of Killian as he proceeded to walk towards Agata.

The weight pressing down on the nine boys lifted up as Grey walked away, they felt relieved for an instant. But the most at ease was Killian.

"Nothing important." Replied Grey to Agata, Grey turned around to look towards the rest of the line and called "Next." To the person standing behind the nine boys and was waiting in the line properly.

"Where do you think you are going!!!" shouted Jakob, He couldn't accept such humiliation.

The expression on Grey's face went back to the friendly smile he had worn earlier and said "As I said, sir. You can't break the line, you will have to wait just like the others."

Looking at the sudden change in Grey's behavior made his resentment for Grey even worse.

"Who are you?!! What do you think you are?!!" fumed Killian, apparently he had gained his composure back.

Grey chuckled "Does it even matter?".

Before the situation could get any further, Agata interrupted saying:

"Grey is my guest and he is helping us with the winter festival if you have any problem with that then talk to dad."

{Author note: It should be obvious that Agata and Jakob are brother and sister. Jakob being the little brother.}

She continued "Even if we are son and daughter of the duke that doesn't mean we can break the rules. Everyone has to follow the rules regardless of their status.".

This noble thought of Agata earned the cheers of the crowd.

It was refreshing for the people of the crowd to see a kid from a big family such as Agata, so the crowd couldn't help but cheer for Agata.

The sudden cheer by the crowd took Agata by surprise, she couldn't hold off her embarrassment.

"C-calm down, guys." Stuttered Agata, as she tried to stop the crowd cheering for her.

Grey poked his elbow into her saying "Someone is popular." Teasing her, But it was a finishing blow to Agata's embarrassment. The fumes coming out of her head were now visible to even Grey's eye.

(Grey's POV)

The line continued as normal and those nine clowns went back to the line and stood there, waiting like everybody else. Maybe the threat from Agata really did its work.

Well, from now on they will hold grudge against me. I let out a sigh thinking about the pain in the ass I will have to deal with.

"Next," I said, registering the next person in the line.

After a while, the line was getting shorter and it was finally Jakob's turn.

"Please state the name that you want to be registered as in the competition," I asked.

"I just ran a background check on you. Your name is Grey and you are a C rank hunter. You are pretty cocky for a C rank hunter, huh?" He said.

So, he is holding a grudge against me after all.

"Your name sir?" I asked, without paying any heed to what he was talking about.

"Don't mess with us, this is a final warning." He continued, without answering my question.

I let out a sigh.

"You were nine guys, yet none of you moved a finger when I stood in front of you guys. Do you think, you can do something against me now? What kind of wishful thinking is that?" I asked with ridicule in my voice.

I clapped my hand together and said "Oh" as if I remembered something, I continued "You want to set an example out of me right? How about trying to set an example out of me on the moon glitter competition?"

"Are you challenging us?" he asked.

"That is my intention. But I can understand if you guys are too scared to accept." I said throwing a sneer at him.

"We accept!" he replied, "We will set a good example out of you, we will let everyone know what it means to defy us."

"Looking forward to that."

After that, I registered him and the rest of the 8 clowns, including Killian. They didn't even try to hide their enmity towards me.

I tried my best to hold off my laugh as I registered their name.

48-3

I was almost done registering everyone in my line. There seemed to be only two people in my line remaining.

As I registered the second last person, I called out the last person saying "Next.".

"Please state the name that you want to be registered as in the competition," I said, as I raised my to face the last person.

"Tch." I clicked my tongue, looking annoyed.

"It is considered rude to click your tongue in front of someone." Said the person standing in front of me. But on the contrary to what she was saying, she wasn't bothered even in the slightest.

The last person in the line was Rin.

She continued "At least think about my fragile maiden heart." dramatically.

"At least try to look bothered," I replied.

Without any further talk, I got to the point "So what name do you want to be registered as?" I asked.

"Ummm, let me think." She thought for a second as she placed her finger over her chin. Then she finally opened her mouth, "How about 'Grey's Girlfriend'?" she asked.

At least ask me out before naming yourself something like that, I might even say yes.

"Good, I will write your name down as Rin," I said, as I wrote her name down.

Like hell, I will be writing down a name like that.

"Wait, I thought we get to choose our own name?" she asked.

"Yes, everyone is given the freedom to choose their own name," I replied.

"Then I want to keep my name as Grey's girlfriend –"

"No."

"But, I want to-"

"No."

"You are no fun at all." She said as she placed her finger over my chest.

I pulled out the device and placed it over her chest without asking her permission.

"Mmmh, I don't hate getting my body treated as a plaything." She said as she let out a moan as I placed the device over her chest.

Huh? What is this? That was hella erotic.

I could feel my ears getting hot and something rising down there.

I need to distract my brain or something might happen today. It's an emergency, I seriously need to distract myself.

"Ahem." I cleared my throat as I said "Green, it's light Green." I was talking about the color that the crystal changed into.

Her mana core is big... its pretty big.

I gulped my silva and thought about finally doing the deed tonight, I guess I am finally hitting puberty.

{Auhtor note: he was talking about masturbating tonight.}
