My hand clenched the spoon tightly, and I felt my body grow tense, but still, I replied, "Yes." After all, Rex could send his men to pick me up if I didn't respond to him. Besides, if it comes to the worst, Rex might be the one to pick me up directly. I can't stop him anyway.Suddenly, the thought of pure energy came to my mind. After the training spar with the rogues, I wondered if my energy had awakened again.But on taking a look, I discovered that nothing had changed—my energy is still lying docile as if it never existed, and I can't help thinking that it makes sense.I had expended a lot of energy to kick that dark energy out of my system before falling into slumber, and that energy must be refilled before I can awaken it.Although I wanted to slow down and drag Rex along, my actions were faster than my thoughts.Upon leaving for the forest, I didn't bother dressing up; instead, I left the hostel in the black pajamas I found myself wearing when I woke up.Rex's back was turned at
I froze with shock. I understand Arya's point of view; Wyatt had revealed himself as the mysterious man in the picture, which means Wyatt was the person I was talking to. Although my words were directed at Oswald, since Oswald and I being mates can't be revealed, I have no evidence to prove that Oswald was the one I was insulting.I sprang up and shook my head hurriedly to refute the claim. "No wait. It's not like that..." I tried to clarify myself.Arya's mischievous smile deepened, and her brows were raised cunningly. She leaned forward, looking pleased with my struggles, and interrupted while winking suggestively. "So my brother had always pretended to be cold and indifferent?" Arya exclaimed with a cunning giggle.I waved my hand and shook my head repeatedly. I was in a state of happiness a few minutes ago. Why do I feel like crying now? "Arya. Really, that's not it. It's not what you're thinking at all." I contended helplessly.What if Wyatt gets to hear of this? He had just help
Happy New Months Everyone. This Author is really grateful for your support and comments. Thank You "So, did you plan to return home? I do." Arya asked me and replied while munching a shortbread cookie in its pack in such an enticing way that even if one doesn't have an appetite to eat, one will be hungry.I knew why she had brought up her question. Today is Saturday, which means there's no school. We only have a few hours of optional day lessons, and as a result, the majority of the students were absent—the majority of them have gone home.I parted my lips to give Arya a reply, but before I could, she interrupted with a mischievous Cheshire cat grin on her face. Arya winked at me with a flirty gaze and played with a strand of her hair. "There's no need to respond. It's written in your eyes how much you miss my brother. Both of you will even resort to meeting in the school head office because you can't keep your hands to yourself." She articulated and grinned mischievously. Completing
I only remembered Nancy telling me not to stay in the forest for a long time because of rogue attacks, but even after many visits to the forest, I'm yet to face any danger—a compliment to Rex.However, what I don't understand is that this strange energy is attacking me for no reason. I haven't heard anyone complain about a strange energy attack, nor did Oswald, Wyatt, or Asher appear as if they were willing to tell me what was going on. What's happening? Why is this thing targeting me? I don't think I've caused enough trouble to be the subject of these attacks, have I?It first happened in the school dressing room on the first day of school. The second was in my dormitory after taking a sip from the drink Arya gave me. Now, it attacked me in the restroom for no reason. What is the link? Is there something I'm missing?I fell onto the floor while panting, my chest heaving heavily and my hands and arms aching a lot. I had just fought five low-level rogues after going through Rex's train
Upon hearing my question, Rex's bruised face contorted into a frown, and his red eyes turned fiery cold. "That motherfucker." He cursed in a voice filled with rage and walked towards me, anger evident on his face.I eyed Rex in bedazzle. When Rex left the forest, he left in one piece, with no wound on his face, unlike now.Although Rex's clothes looked clean, there were a few wrinkles on them, and his face was bruised as if he had just fought. And it can only be linked to a certain someone who had just sent his image to me a few minutes ago."Rex. You went to fight Oswald?" My eyes widened in disbelief. Although I knew Rex and Oswald didn't see eye to eye, I didn't expect them to fight each other this soon.Suddenly, a thought flashed past my mind, and it made my mood change. However, I tried to stay calm. I stared at Rex's face intently in a bid to catch the trace of any emotions that flashed past his eyes. "No, you didn't involve Wyatt and Asher, did you?" I asked in a grave voice,
The time ticked by eventfully.My time was either spent studying or training with Rex, and now I could fight 30 mid-level rogues in less than two hours by myself, and it's all thanks to Rex's intense training.Rex is really such a capable teacher, and it was all thanks to that stinky Oswald, who thought he had trapped me by ordering Asher not to teach me before the trial.Luckily for me, the disappointment or disaster ended up leading me to such a fortunate discovery.Rex towered over me domineeringly. "If you dared to lose later..." Although Rex didn't complete his words, his red eyes, which were filled with maniac, fierce light, made me shrink back in fear.We had just gone through the evening of dawn training. Perhaps it was because of the trial that was to happen in the afternoon today; surprisingly, Rex permitted me to return to the hostel at 1:33 a.m.“I won't fail, capisce?” I growled at Rex boastfully and bared my teeth at him.I know Rex is confident that I won't fail the com
My eyes widened in realization, and I almost knocked myself on the head for my forgetfulness. I couldn't believe I'd forgotten that I'm not poor. I sat up and grabbed my phone immediately. I nodded to Arya. "Oh. Yes, I've actually forgotten about it. Let me see how... Ah?" A shocked gasp fell from my lips upon logging into my bank account. Upon seeing 20 million wolvese staring at me, my lips parted, and my jaw dropped in disbelief. Isn't Wyatt spoiling me too much for a stranger? I couldn't help letting out a distressed sigh. "Didn't your brother think he's spoiling me too much…" I was yet to complete my words when a sheepish grin slowly crept over Arya's face. Arya's brows raised repeatedly. I knew completing my words would result in teasing from Arya, so I paused my speech and playfully glared at her. I happily placed my phone on the bed and stared seriously at Arya. "I want to gamble 19 million. If I win, that means I'll be making 380 million. Yes! I'll become a rich woman
I froze slightly at the sudden voice of Nancy I had just heard. I didn't hear any approaching footsteps, nor did I catch a trace of a shadow or figure when I arrived at the forest, so I didn't expect Nancy or anyone else to show up without my knowledge.I lowered my head and quickly wiped away the tears with my right hand before prying away Nancy's hands, which hugged me from behind. I turned to Nancy after inhaling deeply to calm my emotions and then feigned a calm smile. "Thank you." Upon seeing my face, Nancy's eyes widened, and her lips parted in a gasp. She eyed me pitifully, but deep in her eyes I could see glee written in them; I couldn't help furrowing my brows while wondering what Nancy was being joyful and feigning pity for.Nancy tried to grab my hand, but I quickly evaded her hand before it could touch mine.Nancy lowered her head, her expression filled with 'pity'. "Instead of crying on your own, why don't you tell Alpha Oswald that you'd rather not participate in this d
