Chapter 170: A Beautiful Confession
"So everything's being well for you…huh"
I asked as I sat atop a tower giving a beautiful view of the academy, after Scarlet's sudden appearance we just kept hugging each other for some time before we let go, after which Scarlet directly transported me atop this tower
From there on we sat here as we talked with each other like lost friends, well it was mostly Scarlet who talked as she spoke to me about all the things that happened in her life, like this 2 hours was lost, as the beautiful sight of the sun setting filled our eyes
"Indeed I did have a happy life…"
Scarlet spoke with a nostalgic smile, seeing it I too smiled, a playful smirk came to me as I spoke with a playful words
"But to think the great Scarlet, the epitome of human power, the great icy tomboy!, the beauty of all! is my friend!, who would believe it?"
"You!, humph I am not talking to anymore"
"No..no your dragon majesty don't due that, what will happen to a peasant such as myself when you get angry!"
I spoke with a terrified and scared expression, seeing it Scarlet snorted as she spoke
"Um, it's good that you know your place"
Her expression was that of a Queen forgiving her subject, soon we kept looking at each other for a few seconds before we started to laugh out loud
"Puff…you really have gotten more lively Scarlet"
"Yeah..yeah, you yourself haven't changed one bit"
Scarlet spoke with a nostalgic smile, seeing it I too looked at the sunset as I smiled, back then when I had asked Scarlet to introduce me through the city when we were young, we would at the end of the day sit at a hill and see the sunset it was quite the scene
'Yup….simpler times….'
"Hey, do you miss those times?"
As I was being nostalgic Scarlet spoke prompting me to turn my head to look at her, the rays of the setting sun shining on her making a beautiful look as she held her hair and twirled it around shyly, it was a beautiful scene as she held her knees and looked at me expectingly, I nodded my head and this time I spoke the truth
"Indeed, I miss them, they were simpler times, it was fun spending and relaxing those time with you, they were truly fun"
And for the first time I gave her my most sincere and happy smile, I don't know how it went but I could say that they were good, as she looked at me in daze for a moment before she heavily blushed, I could hear some whispers like 'not fair~' or somethin like that
It's when I wanted to tease her a bit more that she closed her eyes as she held her heart and took deep breaths, I was confused, this went for few seconds before she opened her eyes again, they were serious as they looked at me, at this moment I felt that she had come to some sort of agreement, her eyes locked at mine as a loving smile came to her face, for a moment my heart skipped a beat
"Say Austin do you know?, the times I spend with you were one of the greatest in my life, it was only when I did meet to did I feel like some sort of normal girl, you saved my mother, if it weren't for you I don't know what would have happened to me"
Her eyes turned soft, as the smile on her face widened, reaching one her hands towards me she held my hand with that she continued
"You risked your life to save my mother, you called me a friend, you made me smile and laugh, it is and will forever be one of my most treasured memories and after all this you changed my fate, you made me happy"
Her hands that held mine moved forward as they intertwined with mine as her other hands held her heart as a blush cropped into her face lighting it up with the setting sun as she spoke again
"You know, I didn't truly know if I truly loved you, we were young when we met and many things have changed from then, I was afraid that all I felt for you was just the yearning for a friend, a feeling of gratitude but thankfully I was wrong"
Her hand on mine tightened, as her eyes fluttered with shyness and many other emotions as they looked into mine
"I knew it moment when I saw you again, I knew it the moment I saw you in danger, I knew it the moment when I spend all these days feeling anxious of how are meeting will go and I knew it the moment you hugged me"
"I knew that
I love you"
Her voice was barely a whisper as they sounded within the surrounding but to my ears they were crystal clear, after saying her bit she gave me a smile that made my heart skipping, she looked at my eyes with all the love as she confessed to me, this time I was really in a stump, all my plans were on the idea that most of my relationship keeps secret but something tells me that if I reject her now something very bad will happen
'System, what's her love?'
[Love: 150%]
'…'
'Was this before she met me?'
[No it was after you hugged her and cried, till then it 99%]
'Should I run?'
[Normally I will agree but here all I can say is you reap what you sow]
'Any solutions?'
[To not get raped?]
'…'
[Well, I did hear that hell is has quite a good season this year, maybe it might not be so bad?]
'Yeah, well fuck you too'
I could only a give such a response to what the system said, anyhow I turned my head back to Scarlet who was awaiting my answer, no matter how much of a scum I am, making a girl waiting for an answer for a long time is not something I would be willing to do
Since I too know the tension, power and will power you need to do something like this, especially when you don't have any idea how the other person might respond, I closed my eyes as memories flowed in my mind
'I love you'
'Huh?, sorry I was just using you to get closer to your friend'
'Wh-What do you m-mean?'
'Well, it's simple I had no interest on you, only your rich friend, since that's accomplished you have no use, so bye'
With that the beautiful women in front of me walked away leaving me with a broken heart, the memory flashed through my mind in seconds, soon seconds ticked but to Scarlet it was like an eternity, finally I opened my eyes as I spoke
"I'm sorry but no"
And with that it might have being for just a second but the entirety of the Babylon academy trembled for a moment…
Chapter 171: Let's Start As Friends!
My answer reverberated within Scarlet's ears, for a moment her mind went blank, as she never expected such a fast forward rejection, her mana started to go at rampage while her eyes seemed to turn dark and lifeless
A feeling of heaviness I never felt was coming from her, seeing her reaction I 'panicked', as I held her hands which was intertwined with mine, holding it tightly I pulled Scarlet's face towards mine as I shouted
"Scarlet break out of it!, what I meant was that I can't be your lover with you right now, the reason being that I don't know much about you but that doesn't mean that it won't happen in the future!"
My words seemed to have calmed her down, as the light within her eyes seemed to return, her face turned a bit confused as she looked at me
"What do you mean?"
She asked with a meek voice as she looked at me, I sighed inwardly as the gamble I took paid off, smiling 'wryly', I looked at her with a bit of 'grievance' as I spoke
"What I meant as no was not that I completely reject you, I mean you are a beautiful and a powerful woman and if you ask me if I like you I would say yes"
Hearing me call her beautiful caused Scarlet to blush and smile with happiness, which kind of weirded me out, just a moment ago she was as if she was about to destroy the world but now she looked just like an innocent little girl
'Sigh….why can't there be any normal girls around me?'
Though i was lamenting on the inside, on the outside I was completely serious as I looked into Scarlet's eyes and continued to speak
"Look Scarlet what I meant was that I know Kevin but do I know Scarlet?, no, I just saw you as a very important friend of mine, I mean I just found out you are a girl and you just suddenly dropped this issue on me"
"Truthfully I am very happy and excited that you have such feelings for me but now I just think of you as a friends and if you ask me if I am interested in you then yes, I think that you are a lovely lady"
Saying so I held Scarlet's face as I smile came to my face, she looked at me with a pout and a pink blush on her face, her golden eyes seemed to be dodging mine, holding her face to look at mine, I spoke
"Scarlet if I accepted your proposal then I would be lying to myself, and worse to you, so I just want us to first start to get to know eash other better, how about going on a dates and trips and slowly we will get to know better about each other and from there we would deal with things, how about it?"
There was silence on top the tower I sat, my eyes never left Scarlet's as I kept portraying my feelings to her, Scarlet's eyes narrowed as she looked into mine, she did this for a minute before she finally broke out into a smile
"Sure lets do what you say, you are right you do only know Kevin but not Scarlet and I will make sure that that you know all about me while I know all about you but get this!"
Scarlet said as she extended her forefinger and placed it at my heart, with an extending smile she continued
"I will definitely make you fall for me!"
There was absolute confidence and anticipation in her voice, causing my heartbeat to rise again and I am sure that she felt it as a smile came up to her face but who was I?, how could I let her easily get one ahead of me?, I caught the hand that was on my chest as I gave it a loving kiss, after which I turned to the blushing Scarlet I spoke
"Then I await that day…."
"Humph, you won't have to wait long"
With that Scarlet teleported away, running away in embarrassment, I couldn't help but find her action very cute, at times she acts very straightforward but just one move from me would make her an embarrassing mess, it was very contradictory, I chuckled as I looked at the sun that had set
"Sigh…..so system what did she do to me?"
My question might seen random and Scarlet might have being sneaky but if there's one thing that I learned from dealing with these type of girls is that you can't never be too careful
[She totally placed 3 spells on you host]
'I knew it'
"What are they?"
[The first one would make you impotent]
"…."
[You won't be able to feel exited if you are not with Scarlet]
"…."
[The second spell lets her know about all the girls that you interact with and it will send some sort of signal if you get very touchy with any other girl]
Completely avoiding my silence the system continued to dish hits after hits
[As for the third one….]
'"Out with it, I can take it….maybe"
[It is a spell that would monitor if you are in any type of danger and protect you if necessary]
'But?…..'
I didn't think for a second that such a good spell by Scarlet won't have it's own drawback
[Well…it will monitor you 24/7]
Hearing the last words I caught my forehead in expiration
'Thankfully those spell won't work on me, right?'
[Yes host thanks to your bloodline those type of spell wont work on you and Scarlet must have know it too, yet she tried in hope]
"Wow, I really have a loving girl don't you think?"
[Well if you call that love, I don't know what obsession is]
The system gave me sarcastic reply, well it was not like I was expecting some sort of support, I was already used to it's sassy ways, anyhow in a nutshell I had already dealt with scarlet and have already paved a good way forward…..to keep my life, it was when I was doubting my life's choice the system spoke
[Host I have a question?]
"Oh?, ask away"
[What are you going to do at the end?]
I remained silent, while the question might not be clear I understood it clearly, there was silence for several seconds before I spoke
"Truthfully I don't know, I am just going with the flow for now, well it's not like all those girls might go out on an all out war for me right?"
[…]
"Right…?"
[…]
"….."
"Fuck….."
Chapter 172: Start Of An unforgettable Day
"What a day….."
I wearily spoke as I walked back to my mansion, well it would have been better if it weren't for loads of students running here and there, while some were talking to each other in a whisper, it was total mayhem, well how couldn't it be?, when all of the Babylon Academy had shaken for a moment?
Plus everyone had felt it for a moment, a huge presence of mana that seemed to crush all that stood in it's way, many suspected that there was going to be an attack but since nothing happened afterward many started to calm down, after that it was a search for the answers
Due to this, the teleportation facilities were momentarily suspended, I had to wait for an hour after which I teleported away with a disguise, my mind and body was both wary, playing with Olivia, the discussion with Celestinia, and finally the confrontation with Scarlet, a lot happened in one day and it is truly taxing to my mind
I just want to head to my room, take a hot bath and finally have some well-deserved rest, it's not easy dealing with a lot of crazy but thankfully everything went well, I reached my mansion did some talk with the others, I also got a message from Elda that she would be spending the night with her friends and as for Clara it would seem that she was closing up to Sonia
Maybe a week or so I will be able to initiate part one of my plans, anyhow after dealing with some bothersome stuff, I directly took a nice relaxing bath and went to sleep, due to my fatigue I quickly went to sleep
The next day began, everything went normal then, woke up dealt with some stuff and headed out, first I visited my dear slave, where I went with her training I made sure to fill her body with marks, pain, and pleasure, I would do it for just 2 more days, installing true pleasure within her body and then her true training would begin
Anyhow 2 days later the class would start, as the week leave would end, once the classes would begin it won't easy to sneak up to her like this, as I won't always have the time on my hand, anyhow I would just have to make the most out of it I guess
So after dealing with Olivia, I headed towards Celetinia, where another boring round of debates, questions, and insults were sent against each other, after dealing with that and promising each other another fresh round, I left
Right now I was waiting at a speacific intersection, where I was quite well dressed and groomed, right now I was waiting for my date that's Scarlet, that's right just as Scarlet had run away she had left her communication device behind to contact me, where she mentioned about going on a date today
So who was I to say no?, well I really didn't have the power to say no, so here I am, waiting for Scarlet to arrive, the promised time to meet was 8:30 but I arrived half an hour early, it's not bad to come first and be prepared
Just as I kept waiting I started to hear the sound of heels clicking to the ground, hearing it I turned my head towards the arrival…Scarlet, she was wearing beautiful ash and golden one-piece dress that fitted her nicely, I could see just a touch of makeup on her face making her more enchanting, her back was straight as she walked towards me proudly
"Your early"
Scarlet spoke with a smile and a hint of blush as she came up to me, I smiled as I spoke
"Well, I wanted to make a good first impression, also your early too"
"Well, I was a bit anxious"
Scarlet spoke honestly, I nodded my head at her as I looked at her up and down, seeing my gaze she smiled as she got the edges of her dress as she twirled it around, after a single swing she spoke
"What do you think?"
"Beautiful"
I spoke honestly as I looked at her, hearing my reply she smiled, as she looked at me and shyly twirled her hair, right now she just looked like a normal teenage girl going on her first date, a steep contrast from the girl that had almost paced three spells that controlled my life yesterday
'Sigh…girls'
Without showing any of my thoughts outside, I smiled at Scarlet as I spoke
"So Scarlet, where are we going?"
"That's a surprise you have to wait for it"
Scarlet spoke as her eyes twinkled mysteriously, she extended her hand towards me without saying anything else, the place of our date was only known to her, yup that's right, this date's completely planned by Scarlet, it would seem that it was outside of the Academy, I smiled as I took her hand and caught it agreeing to her antics
On normal occasions, one doesn't need to hold hands to teleport each other but Scarlet just wanted that, seeing me take her hand Scarlet smiled as she held my hand tightly and the next moment a magic circle appeared below me as we started to get teleported
I closed my eyes as the light of the teleportation filled my eyes, the next moment I opened them I was in a secluded area, my confused eyes turned to Scarlet who only smiled and started walking as she held my hand, I shook my head as I started walking beside her while I too held her hand
Soon we walked out of a secluded street, my eyes widened as I loads of beast folks walking all around, there were all types of beastmen, of course, there were other species but the most prominent were beastmen, it would seem that I was at their residence, or more probably their area
"Where are we?"
I asked to which Scarlet smiled as she spoke
"The land of parted love, Rosiana"
"Rosiana?"
My eyebrows raised in surprise as I looked at Scarlet who smiled and nodded her head back at me, if what she said is true then we were at the area under the loin tribe, an area of the great desert but loads of minerals and other stuff were produced and imported from here
But the area of Rosiana is special as it holds a very well known legend, it's a hot spot for couples, this place holds the legend of one of the great kings of the Lion tribe, the story of a man whose love had said to move the desert to his wish, the legend of a man who turned the very green world to a desert to save the woman her loved
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey Guys!!
Try out my new novel: Heavenly Opposers!
You won't regret it!
Chapter 173: An Exiting Date
Rosiana, was once a beautiful green land but it was turned into the land of sand by a single man, crowned as one of the strongest lion kings, Nicklove a man who to save the woman he loves activated a forbidden power turning the world yellow, it was said that the sand moved at his will as a battle of love took place here
His heroics and his power for love was truly a well-preserved legend that the area where the final fight had taken place had turned into a very famous place for dates, several nobles come to this area for their dates and spend their time with their lovers
"An exotic place, isn't it?"
"You could say so"
I replied to Scarlet's question as I looked at the place we were walking through, we were currently in a beautiful city which shined with yellow color but nobody around me was sweaty or hot as the entire city was placed in a huge spell that maintains an adequate temperature, providing a pleasant experience
Currently, we were in the city of Rosiana, in the place where the love between the lion king and his lover had helped them overcome their adversaries allowing them to unite once again, there are several activities here for couples to do and the special program at night, one of them being the battle of the lovers, thinking of this I turn my head to Scarlet who was smiling while walking beside me while holding my hand
Silently I prayed for the poor couples that would be fighting against us at night, well leaving those aside, right now we were just walking through the streets hand in hand but the most curious thing was that when we walked by no one seemed to notice us, it looked like we were both invisible to the rest
No, it was as if we were being neglected, I took a sneak peek at Scarlet before I inwardly shook my head, it's only been a few minutes as we had started walking around, within this time we had already seen a lot of stalls, shops and places for couples, this was a place teeming for a date
"So where are we going first?"
I asked to which Scarlet smiled as she spoke
"Desserts!"
With that, she pulled my hand as we started walking to a special looking two-story building that had the picture of a pancake on its top, with quick steps we reached in front of the receptionist, at first he didn't notice us but suddenly his eyes enlarged as he looked at us, well he was surely surprised
"Um…do you have any seats available?"
I asked as I saw that the receptionist was in a daze as he kept looking at Scarlet, hearing my question he was quickly brought out of his daze as he gave us a professional smile as he spoke
"I'm sorry but our establishment only takes in reserved customers"
Hearing the receptionist answer I looked at Scarlet, who smiled and took out some sort of paper and gave it to him, I could see another surprise color the receptionists face as he gave the paper a look after which he gave both of us a respectful bow
"Sir and madam, please follow me"
With those words, he started leading us through a certain door that lead to stairs to a top floor, we walked for a bit before we reached a beautifully furnished private room, with one last bow the receptionist left us, as several maids walked in, arranging the place for us, each of them with cute tails and ears
"I have to say you didn't spare any expanse did you?"
"Well, I want to have the best date with the man I love after all"
Scarlet said as she smiled at me lovingly, causing my heartbeat to raise for a moment again, I could only curse myself on the inside as I walked forward behind one of the chairs and pulled it back for Scarlet to sit, with a smile I extended my hand towards her as I spoke
"beautiful lady, why don't you take a seat?"
Hearing my question Scarlet smiled as she extended her hand towards me as she caught it and walked towards me to sit on the chair that I had pulled back, as she sat on the chair I kissed the top of her hand, feeling it a small blush came on Scarlet's face, seeing it I smirked inwardly
Meanwhile, the maids around the room had gone into a daze for a moment from seeing the smiles of 2 extremely beautiful and handsome couple, they had being working here for a long time but this was the first time they saw a couple like us but in the end, they were professionals within seconds they were able to regain themselves as they walked up to us
"What would mam and sir like to order?"
A beautiful looking rabbit-eared woman spoke, she had a mature and professional aura around her, hearing her question, I looked towards Scarlet, she was the one who spoke about coming here, so I would leave all the discussion to her, seeing me look at her, Scarlet smiled as she spoke to the maid dressed woman
"We would like the ultra couple Lara, also could you open the sight of this place?"
"Yes, of course"
The rabbit-eared woman nodded her head at Scarlet's words as she snapped her finger and as soon as she did the rest of the women in the room moved, some started setting up musical instruments, while others started using some magic to make the atmosphere more calming and….loving?
As the atmosphere was getting more warm and relaxing, some of the women started playing the instruments, as a calm, mood relaxing tone filled the room, another petite woman stood forward as she opened her mouth and began to sing, her voice was comforting and pleasing to hear
The atmosphere around the room changed quickly as everything became more beautiful, with several maids using magic to create an entertaining environment, while the sound of music made one relax all their tension
I had to admit that the total ambiance was extremely pleasing, as the maids did their job I turned to Scarlet who was looking at me with a smile, I could see anticipation within her expression as she looked at me, knowing what she wanted I spoke with a smile
"It's amazing Scarlet, I love it"
Hearing my honest answer Scarlet smiled happily as she shyly rolled her hair in her arms again, looking directly into my eyes she spoke with a sparkle in her golden eyes
"I'm happy, the past years I have been looking for many places for us to go out and this is the first place I wanted to visit with you"
Hearing her words as well as her absolute look of love at me, I couldn't help but have my heart beating faster again
'Damn it! this girl's good'
I couldn't help but agree that Scarlet was doing very well scratching into my heart but I am not someone easy to defeat, I will make sure to return this 10 fold
Chapter 174: An Exiting Date(2)
"Looks delicious"
I spoke as I looked at the arrangement of foods that were placed at the table, the services here were 5 stars, the food that we had ordered had reached us within the next 15 minutes, all of them looked extremely appetizing, just its aroma was enough to make anyone hungry
"I picked it especially for you"
Scarlet spoke as she looked into my eyes and smiled, her warm eyes were just filled with love as she looked at me, I was taken back for a moment before I smiled as spoke back to her
"I see…well then I must one day have you taste my cooking too"
"You cook?"
Scarlet looked puzzled and surprised as she looked at me, well it was normal after all, I mean which powerful noble will learn to cook?, seeing the look in Scarlet's eyes I smiled mischievously as I spoke
"Well, in the past I was really curious about cooking, you see my family was never in the perfect state and I had thought that maybe by cooking for them I would get closer to them"
As I spoke my final words my face had a 'sad' and 'melancholic' smile, just my 'powerless' appearance along with my natural face was enough to sadly shake the hearts of all the women in the room, Scarlet felt like her heart was squeezing as she saw my 'vulnerable' appearance
"I see…it must have been hard for you"
Scarlet said trying to hide her true expression, seeing it I shook my head at her, as a 'bright' and 'pure' smile that blinded all the women in the room took over my face
"No I am fine now Scarlet, I learned cooking to make my family one and I was able to accomplish that goal, I don't care about any noble customs, as long as the people I love are happy, I would be happy too"
To finish it off, my face went into nostalgia, along with my bright smile was enough to smite all the women in the room, Scarlet felt like her heart beating faster as her face lit up in a red hue as she looked at my face, her heart was beating so fast that she felt some pain in it but that was not enough to take her eyes off my face
"Scarlet are you okay?"
I asked with concern as I looked at Scarlet, meanwhile, I was inwardly laughing at my victory
'Hehehe…..that's what you get for messing with my heart'
hearing me call her name Scarlet quickly broke out of her daze as she smiled and waved her, hand as she spoke
"Ye-Yeah I am fine, why don't we eat?"
Scarlet spoke trying her best to hide her embarrassment, hearing her words I nodded my head as both of us dived back into our food, like that we spent the next half an hour eating our food as we talked to each other, the calming music and song in the background was truly a relaxing environment
"That was delicious"
"I agree"
Scarlet nodded to my words, after that we stood up, I gave a punctual smile and nod to the maids before we walked out of the shop, just as we were walking out I felt a hand grasp mine, turning to my right I could see Scarlet holding my hand with a pink hue on her face, I chuckled as I intertwined my hands with her as we walked hand in hand outside
Feeling my hands intertwining with her Scarlet smiled happily as she lead me through the busy streets of Rosiana, the same thing as the past happened as we invisibly walked through the streets
"Where are we going now?"
"Shopping!"
Scarlet spoke without hesitation, I could only shake my head as I went along with her, within minutes we reached a building that sold clothes, without wasting any minute, Scarlet got hold of my hands as she rushed into the most expensive and enclosed area, as we walked by a guard was waiting outside, he too was surprised by our sudden arrival
At first, he looked at both of us suspiciously but he didn't do anything as he noticed our noble looks, though he did give Scarlet an extra look, he was also in a daze as he looked at her, Scarlet didn't give him any other words as she flashed another paper in front of him, seeing the paper the man's eyes widened as he gave way for both of us
We didn't give him a second look as we entered inside the room, though I did feel the man looking at Scarlet reverently, I shook my head inwardly at this behavior, as I had spent a lot of time with different beauties I had forgotten how beautiful Scarlet was too, her beauty was enough the daze any man but if anyone tried to lay their hands on her, well then I could only pray for those poor souls
"Did it annoy you?"
I asked as I looked at Scarlet who had a frown on her face, hearing my words her frown relaxed as she spoke
"A bit but I had gotten used to it now, it's not like I could go on killing them for looking right?, why? are you jealous?"
As she spoke the final words Scarlet gave me a mischievous smile, I wasn't fazed by it as I held her hand strongly and spoke as I looked into her eyes
"No, I wasn't jealous, I just didn't like the way he looked at you like you were just some sort of toy he could play around with, from what I know you Scarlet is a powerful and beautiful woman and I feel that you should deserve the respect for it, not to be treated as some sort of trophy"
I said with a serious expression, hearing it Scarlet went into a daze for a moment, I smiled at it
'Scarlet, how could I not know about you?;
I thought as I looked at the dazed Scarlet, playing the game I knew Scarlet's personality thoroughly, she was someone that wanted to gain recognition for who she is, she doesn't want to be treated as some trophy woman, she truly wanted to be recognized for whom she is and how would she feel when the person she loves thinks like her?, well I didn't have to wait for long to feel the answer
+50,000 affection
'Damn, look at that'
"Scarlet?"
I called out for her, hearing me call her she quickly broke out of her daze, she didn't even look at me as she showed me her back as she walked in front of me, I could only laugh at her cute action but it was a good thing that I wasn't able to see her face and if I did, I would have run out of here at that moment
Because right now Scarlet face was completely red, while her eyes were moving around erratically, she was taking deep breaths to control herself, she even used her mana to calm her mind but in the end, she could only bite her lips to control her emotions
'Calm down Scarlet, calm down, you can't bring out your desires now, I just have to wait but I reallllyyyyyyyyy want to kidnap him and make him mine, ahhh his smile I just don't want anyone else seeing it'
'I just have to wait, I will get my chance!'
Scarlet spoke as a determined light flashed through her eyes, meanwhile I was just smiling as I followed behind Scarlet, not knowing the danger that I was following, this time I had truly messed up again
Chapter 175: An Exciting Date(3)
The silence didn't continue for long as we soon reached a well-furnished area, that was designed for rich nobles, the clothes in this area all looked expensive, while there were several workers following each couple, giving them their expertise and opinions, there were doing their best to make people feel at welcome
"Shall we go?"
Scarlet asked while looking at me, right now she had calmed down and did not at all look embarrassed, a shame though, her confused look was a bit cute, anyhow as soon as we entered the room, all eyes seemed to be focused on us, the males had dazed look as their eyes focused on Scarlet's, meanwhile the girl's eyes turned wide as they gave me more than a single glance
The workers there had the most intense reaction, as they seemed to be able to feel the money oozing from us, a rather mature and beautiful woman walked towards us with a smile as she spoke
"What would both you sir and miss's require?"
The woman asked us with a smile, I kept my silence hinting for Scarlet to speak, she seemed to have got the message, as she too smiled and spoke
"We would like the special couple's clothing"
"Oh? we surely have them in abundance, please follow me"
The woman spoke with an understanding smile as she lead us towards a more private and expensive area, it would seem that she deemed us richer than the average noble, the area we entered as its private dressing area, with lavish services, you could even order snacks as you wait
"Sir and madam, please give us a chance to take your measurements, so that we can provide you the best possible service"
The mature woman spoke with a humble bow, as two different women appeared behind her with measuring tapes and strange glowing eyes that seemed to be fluctuating, hearing the woman's words I didn't mind as I nodded my head, Scarlet too followed
With that, both the women walked forward as they measure us, within a minute everything was over and they disappeared, I wasn't surprised by their speed, as I could see that both of them were specialized warriors, in fact, the mature woman in front of me was an origin level 5, not something you see in a normal manager but hey everyone has their secrets right? a few minutes passed by before the both of them returned with matching beautiful clothes
"How about these? do you like them?"
The mature woman asked, looking at the clothes I nodded my head, meanwhile Scarlet had stars in her eyes as she looked at matching clothes, seeing our reaction both the women that took our clothes smiled and without further ado, we walked into our private rooms to change our dress
A few minutes later I stood in front of the mirror admiring myself, I was wearing a grey suit with purple patterns within them that complimented my eyes, the clothes were of a perfect size fitting my body perfectly, the grey seemed to have a certain vibe as it coincided with my silver hair, all in all, I now looked a prince from a fairy tail
'Yeah, that's enough being narcissistic'
With a chuckle I left my room and thankfully at the same time Scarlet opened the door as she walked outside, stealing my breath away Scarlet was wearing a white banquet dress with golden patterns that was looser at the top and bottom but tightened around her slender waist, her ash blob hair had been put up neatly, leaving just a few strands of it hanging by the side of her face
Even though the dress was loose at the top and bottom, her huge bosom and ass seemed to be delicate here which bestowed a touch of seductiveness to her delicate features, making her appear ravishing
That was not all, those golden eyes with a dangerous and prideful dragon slit was a striking contrast to all, giving her a rather exotic feel, when all the elements harmonized together, it was hard for one's heart not to pound in her presence
Upon sighting Scarlet I stopped for a second as I went into a daze, well thankfully I wasn't the only one as Scarlet too went into a daze as she came upon me, both of us looked at each other for a second before we finally broke it off, I smiled as I spoke
"You look beautiful"
"Thank you, you look handsome too"
To my words, Scarlet smiled as she complimented me back, just as we were getting lost in our world a cough was heard, bringing us back too reality
I turned my head to look at the mature woman who was looking at both of us with an awkward smile, she held a recording device as she spoke to us
"How about recoding this beautiful moment?"
She encouraged us with a professional smile, I didn't mind it as I nodded my head, I turned towards scarlet who too nodded, with that, I walked towards her and offered my hand, she didn't hesitate to wrap her arms around mine, making her well-developed chest stick against my hand, we walked to a better area as both of us smiled towards the recording device, soon several images were recorded and with that, we spent the next hour trying different dresses
Meanwhile all this time Scarlet just had a beautiful smile on her face, she was filled with satisfaction and happiness, now an hour later we stood with some bags in my hand, well I argued for catching it for now, after all, it would just disappear into the spatial ring later anyway
"Scarlet why don't you go forward to pay, I have something to discuss with madam"
I spoke pointing towards the mature woman, in truth I wanted to pay but I knew better than to fight with Scarlet, hearing my words Scarlet nodded her head as she walked away to pay, as soon as she had left my sight, my face turned frosty as a bit of killing intent leaked from my body, feeling it both the women that took my measurement flinched as they flashed and appeared in front of the mature woman to protect her
I didn't pay any heed to it as my face turned towards the calm mature woman as I spoke
"I don't care who or what you are and I know that you have recognized us both and if you have a smart mind, keep the thoughts you have now to yourself or.."
As I said in my last words powerful aura swept from my body locking all the three women in their place, the three of them stiffened as they felt their whole existence is threatened, the calm woman for the first time had a hint of surprise, I paid no heed to anyone else as I now stood in front of her, my hand was kept on her throat as I spoke
"Or I will find anyone and everyone you love and kill them in front of you, I will make sure that everything you love will break and fall apart in front of you and I will make sure you watch it all, helpless as I do so"
At my final words I left the pressure they were holding them, as I started to walk away, avoiding the 2 gasping women that was now laying on the bottom and as I was walking I heard the mature woman speak
"You know mister Austin, I don't like it when others threaten me"
I turned my head as I saw the woman's narrowed eyes, I smirked as I spoke
"So?, I don't care, let me make this clear to you Ms.No Name, as long as you don't come in my way we're good but if you do, be ready to face a wrath that you won't be able to handle"
And with these words, I left the room
Chapter 176: An Exciting Date(4)
'Sigh…..now that was mood breaking'
I thought as I walked back towards Scarlet, while Scarlet was an intelligent and powerful woman she was not much of a schemer, just the right people with the information about us could cause a lot of problems, of course, not many would dream of evoking a dragons rage, once dragons are angry it won't stop until the culprits are completely gone
Though I didn't get much, I have truly seen the glint in that woman's eyes, it was the same eyes of a schemer, of course, I didn't react like that just because of my suspicion, as I did get suspicious, I had contracted some of my 'friends' to look into her as I changed my clothes and they were fast as usual, sending me all the info I needed
That woman was not what she seemed, she runs a black market in the underground and that was not all, her main business is selling the photos of beautiful and famous women in luxurious clothes to the perverts who would buy them for good knows what use
The moment I got the information I had wanted to walk up to her and punch her face to the ground, worst of all she doesn't just sell the female photos, she sells the male ones too, I couldn't help but get goosebumps as I thought of it, I was planning on ripping the whole establishment to the ground but then I decided not to
Right now both I and Scarlet are on a date and simply causing problems might just ruin it but I will make sure that this place or any of it will see a day after today, picking up the communication device I spoke
"Hey, Ralph you there?"
"Yeah, what's it?"
"Remember the person I asked about earlier?"
"Yeah?"
"Make it all disappear"
"Oh~, what did she do?"
Ralph asked back with a hint of amusement
"She tried to do the same shit with me and my woman"
"Then consider her dead"
Ralph spoke with a frigid tone that left no mercy, his voice continued to be heard
"Heh, to think she would lay a hand on my brother and my sister-in-law? don't worry Austin, I and the guys will make sure she will regret what she had tried to do"
"Thanks"
"Sure, also come and visit once in a while, we are all missing you, especially my kids or is it that now you're a big shot you don't want to see us?"
"Ha!, you should know better than anyone that I am busy but let's see I will try to make time old man"
"Hey!, I am not that old!"
And before I could hear Ralph talk more I cut the connection, I couldn't help but chuckle as I thought of the past, those guys were truly fun to be around
'Maybe I should visit them'
With such thoughts, I reached the counter where I saw a smiling Scarlet waiting for me, I too smiled back as we caught each other's hand and walked out, from there on we both spent time in each others company, we tried a game played by the couples where we had to play some small games without using our powers
For Scarlet who had become completely dependent on her power, this was not easy at all, she failed every time, meanwhile, I was able to easily play the game and win some prizes, I gave the huge teddy bear and the small plush like toy to scarlet who happily took it with a smile
After that we visited an accessory store where I picked out a beautiful earring for her, for which I paid, I too have my dignity too, from there on we spent time traveling from one shop to another, visiting different places and making unforgettable memories
In the end, the sunset beyond the horizon as the beautiful 2 moons filled the sky, several stars blinked in the sky as it illuminated the sky with its beauty
"Beautiful"
"Indeed it's beautiful"
I agreed to Scarlet's words as I nodded my head, right now we sat above a huge platform that was designed to overlook the entire beautiful scenery, the room was mostly opened to the couples at night to enjoy the view and well cough…..enjoy, anyhow I have no plans of doing it, for now, we still haven't reached such that level yet
"I'm happy"
Within our silence Scarlet finally spoke as she leaned her head onto my shoulder, I didn't deny her as I wrapped my hands on her waist as I held her close to me, Scarlet closed her eyes as she relished in my warmth, I could say I too enjoyed myself as I got to see the different sides of Scarlet's
"Me too"
I spoke as I closed my eyes and felt the cold wind blown inside, my body felt warm as I held Scarlet by my side, we stayed there enjoying each other's heat and the warmth we gave each other, sometimes the silence around us is more than enough
"So wanna go kick some couple ass?"
"Hehehe..sure"
Finally, I spoke after an hour to which Scarlet happily nodded her head with a smile, well long story short, we did kick some couple ass, every night there would be a fighting competition between different couples
It quite famous and well looked after, the winner too will get a prize, for us, we just went there in disguise and suppressing our powers, after that it was history as we spent the next hour kicking and beating up poor unsuspecting couples, it was a fun event fighting alongside Scarlet
"I feel a bit bad for them, they had to fight a dragon after all"
I said as I walked back towards the first place we came from, I was stretching my body from side to side, the people we fought weren't that powerful but it was fun, anyhow we did win and we got the right to the all-expense-paid 7-star palace room for one night, we had the coupon to use it and we could go there any night
The prize was good as the room itself was a palace like place to spend the night, it was an ultra-rich place, where the couple could spend their night rolling in bed and enjoying in bed but sadly today's not the night for me
"Well they should be glad they got to fight a dragon"
"I'm sure that will make them happy"
I replied to Scarlet with a sarcastic smile, we didn't speak after it as we walked in the night enjoying the silence, soon we reached the place we first came and transported back when I opened my eyes again I was back at the streets of Babylon
Looking around my eyes turned to Scarlet, our eyes matched as we kept looking at each other for a few minutes before we broke off our gaze but it didn't end there as I walked up to Scarlet and hugged her, Scarlet smiled as she hugged me back
"You know, I haven't fallen in love with you but I can say with confidence that I like you a bit more now"
"I see…..I'm happy with just that"
Scarlet spoke while hugging me tighter and just as we were leaving the hug she came forward and gave a peck on my cheeks, with a pink hue on her cheeks she said her goodbye and fled, leaving me holding my cheeks with a smile
"What a cute girl"
I chuckled as I shook my head and walked to my mansion but my happiness was short-lived as I saw Elda waiting for me with puffed cheeks and narrowed eyes, she looked like a wife that caught her husband cheating
"Big brother, where did you go?"
'Sigh….here we go again'
Chapter 177: Can't Catch A Break
"Well, I can explain…"
I spoke out as I looked at the angry and disgruntled Elda, hearing my words her lips remained pouted as she held her arms as she waited for my words, truthfully it was getting very hard to keep my focus, especially when Elda looked too cute and beautiful right now
"I'm listening…"
Elda said as she looked at me with suspicious eyes, I could only smile wryly at it as I heaved out loud, I walked towards the sofa in my room as I sat down, looking at Elda I spoke
"I was with Scarlet on a date"
My voice was heard across the room as silence remained, looking at Elda, I could see that her face was of utmost disbelief, her eyes were wavering and her appearance was of someone that had seem their world tumbling down, truth being I could lie right now but on the long run that would only be problematic
It's always better to have at least a bit of truth in everything, otherwise when I weave another lie around this one it would get more difficult in the future, it took a few moments before Elda finally broke out of her daze as she spoke
"Da-Date?"
Elda asked me with hopeful, yet a bit of despaired eyes, I didn't deny it as I nodded my head to her answer, causing her eyes to widen more but she was able to quickly get her bearing as her eyes narrowed as she spoke
"Big Brother when you said Scarlet did you mean the Scarlet? the only half-dragon in existence?"
"Yes"
I nodded my head once again as I affirmed Elda's answer, causing her eyes to widen again in disbelief, this time due to a different reason, she stood there in shock, after all, it is not every day you hear that the Academies most famous girl goes out with your brother and that too being a dragon
"How?"
Elda finally spoke, reeling in some of her shocks, to which I sat back to my sofa in a tired way as I spoke
"It's a long story…."
"I have time"
Elda replied to my answer she walked towards me, reaching in front of me she didn't hesitate to sit on my lap facing me, her face was millimeters away from my face, her ass was on my lap, as her beautiful green eyes looked into mine, I could feel her breath on my face as her natural body scent filled my nose
her soft legs were on my side as her breasts pressed onto my chest, she moved her hands as she wrapped them around my neck, as she kept her eyes in contact with me, now this was a true provoking situation, our eyes kept looking into each other seemingly lost into each other eyes, I could feel my body heat up, which I was barely able to stop with my willpower
'Damn it, I can't catch a break!'
I had spent the entire day in the presence of a beautiful and hot woman without being able to do much and now I have to spend the night with my sister who was using all the seductive techniques in the book to get to me
And that was not only the problem, since it was the night she was wearing some sort of nightgown, though it hid much, it also arose the deep intention within me
"Big brother?"
It was only when Elda called out to me did I finally get out of my daze, I focused back on the stunningly beautiful fairy in my arms as I started to tell her about how I 'met' Scarlet and how I became friends with her 'not' knowing that she was a girl or a dragon and I also spoke about Scarlet's confession and how I handled it
The talk only went on for about half an hour during which Elda sat on my lap with her head on my shoulder listening intently, finally I finished as silence descended within the room, I didn't say anything else as I started to slowly pat Elda's back, her skin was so smooth that I couldn't believe how soft and smooth it was
"I see, so big brothers going out with her to see if you could like her?"
"Yup, that's right"
I agreed to Elda's words as I kept patting her back, finally, a few seconds later Elda rose as she took her head from my shoulder as she looked into my eyes, the moonlight from the window fell on her body enchanting it, her body moved a bit forward as it stuck to mine, time seemed to have stopped as I took in the beauty of the girl in my arms again
"Big brother, do you like her now?"
Elda asked with upturned eyes, there was small insecurity within her and I could see it but these are the times that I had to be truthful, I nodded my head as I spoke
"Indeed I started to like her a bit after this date but I surely not in love with her….yet"
"I see….."
Hearing my answer Elda nodded her head as she leaned back onto my shoulder, she didn't say anything else as she sat there enjoying my warmth and testing my limits, she sat like that for a few seconds before she spoke again
"Oh, I forgot big brother, you have a fight tomorrow"
"A fight?"
I asked back in intrigue as we both pretended that the previous situation of the sexual spark between us didn't happen, my reply prompted her to speak back in a small voice
"Well, it would seem that the lion prince, the prince from the Tlliabehem kingdom, and some other prince wants to fight you, they think that fighting you they might be able finally to get me"
"Ha!, they can keep dreaming then!"
I spoke out with a snide smirk, hearing it Elda raised her head as she cutely tilted her head, a smirk on her face as she spoke
"Oh~~is big brother angry or jealous?"
"Maybe a bit angry, I am just pissed off that these guys think they could get you by showing some strength"
My eyes were a bit angry as I raised my hands as I rubbed her beautiful face
"You do not belong to anyone Elda, who you want be with should be chosen by you and if anyone says otherwise, I would beat them till they bleed, no matter who, after all, didn't I promise that I would never get you hurt?"
my final words were with my trademark smile causing Elda to smile at my words as she dived back into my embrace snuggling in as if she belonged there, her body relaxed as she hugged me tightly unwilling to let go, soon I heard her whisper
"I know….."
And with that she fell asleep, seeing it I couldn't help but have a headache
'I really can't catch a brake, can I?'
Chapter 178: Sisterly Counterattack
A new day had begun as the sunlight poured in from the outside window, within a room on a sofa sat two people, one was leaning on the sofa, meanwhile the other sat on the boys lap hugging him tightly unwilling to let go, they had a blanket over their body as they hugged each other and slept, the first one to wake up was the girl laying on the boy
Elda's eyes trembled as they slowly opened, her green eyes focused on the face of the man she was sleeping at before a beautiful smile that could smite any man came upon her face, she first looked around her surroundings to make sure of where she was, breathing out slowly she adjusted her body to not wake up her big brother
She moved forward as she focused her eyes on her brothers sleeping face, a hint of blush came to her face as she looked at his face, her hands tightened the blanket around her as she moved her body forward trying to become closer to him, she raised her hands slowly as she gasped her big brothers sleeping face
The blush on her face deepened as her fingers trailed her big brother's handsome face, her breathing fasted as her heart started beating faster as she kept looking at the man she loved, her hands slowly wrapped around his neck as her forehead touched his, her green eyes were predatory as she kept looking at his lips
She wanted to dive in for a kiss, she wanted him to hold her and much more but she didn't want it to happen like this, right now before she slept she had cast a small spell on him that won't wake her big brother up easily, as long as she doesn't cross the line things won't be a problem
Her body pressed against her big brother tightly as her hug on his neck tightened, normally she wouldn't be this open but after she had heard about the detail of her big brother going on a date, she felt like her world become darker, she felt like something was squeezing her heart, while she could see her brother being taken from her
And she didn't like it one bit, she knew that she had to step up her plans, she understood a bit that her brother doesn't see her as more than just a sister and he seemed to be a bit denser when it same to love related matters, hence she had to be careful but yesterday she did something that derailed from her plans
If anything went wrong all the good things between her big brother would have been lost but thankfully it went better than she had expected, she could feel that her big brother too had some other budding feelings for her, it would seem that her big brother hadn't realized these feelings himself and she was sure that if he did realize it he might push her away
'I won't let you go, big brother'
Elda's eyes seemed to set ablaze as she kept looking at her big brother face, her blushing face moved forward as she placed a kiss on her big brother's cheeks, she kept kissing it for a few more seconds before she let go, her cheeks were completely red as her eyes were moist
Her body seemed to heat up, as excitement danced within her, she could feel her lower body becoming moist as she moved forward and took a big whiff of her brother's scent from his neck, the excitement within her body only seemed to be increasing as bolder ideas birthed within her mind but then…..
"Uhrg…"
She heard her brothers voice as he seemed to be waking up, she quickly moved back as she took deep breaths trying to control herself, soon she could see that her big brother was waking up, an idea birthed in her mind as a smirk lit up her face
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Is she done?'
I thought to myself as I finally started to act like I was waking up, I was already awake from the moment Elda had woken up, I had pretended to sleep to see what she would do and what all she did surprised me, up and till now I had been controlling myself, otherwise, a boner would have filled my pants a long time ago
But I had to wake up now, cause I had a feeling that if I let Elda go on anymore, I would lose all my control, and it's not easy controlling myself, not when she's rubbing her smooth body against me, so I finally decided to wake up, opening my eyes I was met with a beautiful sight
Elda still sat there on my laps with her hands around my neck, her face filled with a red blush, while a happy contended smile hung on her lips as she kept gazing into my eyes, it was the clean look of an infatuated maiden in love gazing at her lover, my heart started beating faster, as I felt my throat go dry
The smile on Elda's face widened seemingly as if she felt the increase in my heartbeat, I could seriously feel a greater need to take this woman in my arms and ravish her but I took all of my will as I too smiled and raised m hands as I rubbed Elda's face
"Good morning Elda, looking beautiful as always"
"Good morning to you to big brother"
Elda replied with a smile as she caught the hand her face with hers, we just kept looking at each other's eyes for a moment, before I took back .y hand as I spoke
"Elda, it's already morning, don't you have somewhere to be?"
"Okay, ~~"
Elda spoke with a pout as she unwillingly got off my lap but not before she 'accidentally' rubbed her ass on my lap, I could only grit my teeth at that provocation
'Just you wait I will pay that back!'
And with that Elda smilingly walked away, while I just walked to the bathroom to take a cold shower to well calm myself down, once I get her I will make sure that my little sister will beg me to stop, sighing to myself I got ready as I headed to the dining table where I came upon my friends who were already eating
"I guess you have already heard?"
Alex spoke as I sat down, I nodded my head at his words as I spoke
"Yeah, Elda spoke about it to me"
"So what do you plan on doing boss?"
Jacob asked me as he held a huge chicken leg in his arms and stuffed his mouth, I shook my head at his behavior as I elegantly started to eat my food
"Simple I beat them up until their parents won't recognize their face"
"That sounds like fun"
Rina spoke with a wide smile
"Fighting's not always the answer"
Emma spoke as she patted the small cat-like beast on her lap
"Anyhow, we are all going to be there, so put on a good show"
Alex spoke with a smile, casuing all of them gathered at the table except for Mark to start smiling, I too smiled as I spoke
"Naturally"
Chapter 179: Interlude to The Fight
A new day had begun, as the rays of the sunlight landed on the land, groups of students could be seen walking through the streets of Babylon Academy but this time there was a difference, the students that normally walked without a specific goal could be seen hurriedly running towards a specific direction
Lots of different kinds of students could be seen moving towards the same direction, be it the seniors or the juniors all of them were heading in the same direction, they were all moving towards the dueling arena, seeing all this I couldn't help click my tongue in intrigue
"Tsk they sure are impatient to see me fight"
"Well who could blame them, they haven't seen your complete capability, so all of the, are curios"
As soon as I had spoken Clara next to me responded to my words, hearing her words I could only agree with it, even if I did beat Xavier the public statement was that I had got the power of the dead soldier, the thing about the dragon blessed arrow was completely hidden from the public, it was not good if the world got to know about a weapon that could release a power similar to a Dragon God
God knows how many suicidal idiots would want it to cause chaos everywhere, well that was only if they did get it, thinking of the shit I had to get it caused my body to tremble, shaking my head to get rid of that memory I turned my focus towards Clara
"So how's it going with Sonia?"
"It's good, she's very innocent, it was pretty easy to become close with her if you want we could start part 2 tomorrow"
"Oh…..that good"
Hearing her words I smiled as I patted her head, receiving it she smiled happily as she received my praise, though I acted like its nothing it's still impressive that Clara was able to reach such a situation by herself, it would seem that she had some talent in manipulation and acting, my eyes looked around the room seeing that nobody was there I leaned towards Clara as I grabbed her ass and massaged it nicely as I spoke into Clara's ears
"Good girl, I will award you later"
"Um~~yes"
Clara spoke out with a blush, seeing it I was tempted to do something here but it was too dangerous for now, giving her ass one more squeeze I left the room under Clara's disappointed look, smiling I spoke
"Wish me luck"
With that, I walked out of the room as I started to hear my name being announced by the referee, the room I was in was the waiting room, I walked silently through the long corridors as I heard the chattings from the outside, soon the ray of the light hit me as I walked out of the tunnel-like path
And as soon I had walked out I could see thousands of students sitting in a row formation as they looked eagerly for the match to begin, some were chanting the name of their prince while others were blindly supporting somebody else, interestingly I too had my group of supporters, though the majority of them were girls
And the majority of the boys also seemed to be against me, well I was very popular among the girls, after all just as I had entered the Academy I had shot up to the top of the most desirable boy within the academy, my performance at the Seth hunt had captivated many, the song I played is a super hit among many others
I had even been contacted by some groups that wanted to use my poems, it would also seem that the poem I had based on the military had won the goodwill of several military people, adding to the fact that my family was a major investor in the military, I directly shot up to the most well-liked within the military batch
The number of love confessions I receive daily is staggering also I had heard from Grace that I had received tons of engagement and marriage letters from different noble families, I could still remember Grace's grumpy jealous face as she rejected all the letters, it was quite funny, breaking out of my daze I looked towards the three students in front of me
All of them were of Elda's age, being 16 years old, the one in the middle had golden brownish hair that seemed to cover his head like a mane, he was tall for his age with burning yellow feline eyes and a huge lion tail on his back with lion ears that was hidden by his hair he would come among the handsome category
The other one had brown hair and eyes along with a handsome face, a rapper was attached to his side, he was a human prince belonging to the Tillabehem kingdom, a kingdom-focused on speed and quick finishing of the opponents, they were a mid-level kingdom,
The other one was a handsome man with blue hair and green eyes, his body was more on the slim side with calm and calculative eyes but contrary to his size a huge ax sat on his back, he seemed to be giving off a cool refreshing feel, he was the prince of the Fasik kingdom that was close to the sea
They have a high level of trade due to them being close to the sea, the kingdom itself is an economic and highly rich place, and the prince in front of me is Richie rich of this world, just as all of us were scrutinizing each other the judge's words were heard
"Austin, as the challenged you to have the right to chose who you would like to battle"
I nodded my head at the referee's words before which I spoke
"I wish to challenge….."
As I kept saying my words my eyes traveled between the three of them as my words lengthened, everyone watched with deep breaths seeing whose challenge I was going to accept and soon they heard my answer
"All three of them"
"!!!"
Everyone had eyes wide as they heard my answer, everyone was stunned as they looked towards me, well who could blame them? the three in front of me was not your average students they were geniuses who could battle above them and me challenging all three of them is nothing more than arrogant in front of their eyes
"Are you sure?"
The referee asked me looking at my calm face to which I nodded my head, I could see that all three of them was angry at my remark but they didn't blow their lid off nor did they shout out, their eyes just turned focused as they looked at me, it would seem that they were not underestimating me
'That's good'
Now when I beat them up no one would complain that it was not a fair fight
Chapter 180: The Fight
"He's quite arrogant"
Carmel spoke as she looked down upon the area the battle was about to take place but surprisingly for her she didn't receive the normal snarky response she usually receives from Olivia, eyes furrowed she turned towards Olivia who was looking at the fight that was about to begin without paying any attention to the surroundings
Right now they were on a viewing platform, it was solely booked by Carmel and Olivia, they had just arrived as they waited for Austin's battle to begin, they were not alone as Ella and Nora was with them, they stood behind them as they focused on the battle that was about to take place
"Olivia…?"
It was only when Carmel called out to her a few times did Olivia break out of her daze, she looked towards Carmel as she asked
"Um….what were you saying?"
Olivia asked with a completely clueless expression, seeing it Carmel became confused but she soon forgot about it as she spoke
"I was saying that he's quite arrogant"
"I don't think so, maybe he has a reason to be confident"
Olivia spoke surprisingly supporting Austin, hearing her Carmel was surprised, her eyes looked at Olivia intently as she turned back to the fight that was about to begin, only her mummers filled the room as the four girls focused on the fight
"We will see….."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'They look serious'
I thought as I looked at the three of them that was standing at a distance from me, the referee had moved to the sky to watch the match and to intervene if the situation got out of hand, surprisingly he was an origin level 8, a powerhouse,
Right now all three of them stood at a distance from me looking at me intently, they knew that they couldn't take me easily, each of them looked at each other seemingly transmitting to each other their thoughts, soon the three of them nodded as they looked towards me with a battle-hardened gaze
My gaze traveled between the three of them before it settled on the lion prince, Marak, right now his body seemed to be wiggling and within less than a second his body grew to a huge height, as muscles ripped from his body, as yellowish-brown hair started to come from hos body, surprisingly his clothes adjusted to all this change
And now in front of me stood a powerful and dangerous Lion tribe genius capable of accessing his 2nd form of battle, each beastmen are born with a unique power that lets them access a certain form that boosts their power to an unimaginable level, the normal tribesmen could access up to the 2nd level
But the ones of the royal family has up to 4 forms and for Marak to access his 2nd form at just his age was indeed pointing to the fact that he was a genius, soon Marak's eyes gained a bit of madness as he screamed and spoke
"I will make you regret underestimating me and I will make Elda mine!!"
It would seem that he was not completely calm, well the more form he accessed the more his sanity will disappear, that was the only drawback of accessing the several forms and gaining strength that defied all, of course, the older ones had trained to be able to retain their sanity when they transfer but Marak was only getting there
"Sure give me your best"
I said with a smile as I stood tall with my hands at my side, I could see that the other two wanted to observe the battle fist and as soon as I had finished speaking Marak disappeared from where he stood as he appeared in front of me with razor-sharp claws that extended from his hands but before his arms could even reach my face I caught it with my hands as I flipped it back and with boom, he was sent flying
Many had their eyes wide open with surprise moreover none was able to get a grasp on my origin level, the power I showed was not simple and none was able to see through it but this was just the beginning and just as Marak was sent flying he was able to get a grasp of his body quickly as he clashed on the ground and flipped his body to stand straight
His feline eyes became focused as the madness within them seemed to be increasing, his muscles rippled as he dashed towards me again, the only difference this time being that the huge hammer in his hand was aimed at my head, at his current power an origin level 4 would be smashed to death and an origin level 6 will be deeply wounded if they faced it head-on but to everyone's surprise I just raised my hands to the incoming hammer with a calm face
And soon under everyone's astonished eyes my forefinger came in contact with the hammer that seemed to destroy all that was in its path, and with a boom, my legs went a bit into the ground due to the sheer force that was behind the hammer, but my hands and everything remained safe the hammer was stopped from attacking me with just my forefinger!
Marak's eyes widened but then something else happened a brown-haired boy with a rapper appeared on my back!, the rapper in his hand was so fast that with a blur it reached towards the back of my neck, Ronairo the prince of the Tillabehem kingdom had a grin on his face as the reaper moved towards my neck
But that wasn't the end, a huge ax was moving at lightning speed as it aimed towards my leg, the prince of the Fasik kingdom Nariak had the same calculative look in his eyes as the ax moved with the purpose of taking my leg, within all this second I could see a smug grin on Marak which proved that this was all planned, they never underestimated me in the first place
In all aspects I was stuck, a checkmate to me said, everybody knew that I was an archer hence being cornered like this in a close fight meant the end but was it so easy?, a smirk came upon my face and my other hand that was freely laying on my side opened, within it a huge power was compressed and I opened them as they blasted out, Naraik's eyes widened and so did the other but they couldn't do anything as a huge whirlwind like attack blasted out from my body blasting the three far away from me as they flew and crashed to the ground heavily creating crates on the ground
Chapter 181: The Fight(2)
Silence…..silence descended to the stadium as everyone watched with ragged breath, as I easily deflected their attacks, to those who couldn't see it, a small reply played above a screen in slow motion, right now they all understood one thing I was strong…very strong, as for how much? well they were about to see
Soon the dust cleared as the three princes were visible again, all three of them had a serious look on their faces as they coughed up and stood up, seeing it, I smiled as I placed one of my hands on my back and used my other hand to make a pointing motion towards them, making them frown
No matter how calm they were trying to be, they couldn't take it anymore as I kept looking down at them, soon Marak gave out a beastly roar as his body started to shake up more, his body started to wiggle as he grew taller, his body bigger and more powerful, he had partially entered the 3rd stage, it was not complete and the power was not full but just reaching this level was amazing
Sadly the sanity that was left in his eyes seemed to disappear, soon his body hinged as stood on his four and then…..there was no then as he disappeared and appeared in front of me, a great power building within his body as he punched forward, I reacted as I moved my body dodging it but that only seemed to enrage him more as he started to attack me more recklessly
Soon our figures were flashing across the ground as Marak kept attacking me as I moved my body barely enough to miss the attack, soon Marak kept growing faster but I too grew faster along with him dodging all that he threw at me, it's at that time I felt a tingle at my back as an ax moved at lighting speed to cut me
A punch was aimed at my front and an ax at my back, now my right hand rose as I punched towards the fist that was headed towards me, at the same time my body twisted a bit as I kicked backward, my leg aiming for the handle of the ax, this all happened at a second, faster than Marak and Naraik could react and within a blink of an eye our attacks landed
And a sonic boom was heard that spread across the ground, as dust rose, soon everyone focused their eyes to see what had happened and the scene they saw caused some to have their eye bulge out from shock, there I stood on the ground safe and fine, meanwhile, the hand I punched towards Marak had connected causing his hand to blast back and bend in an unnatural angle!
One must know that the power Marak could use at his current four could only be said to be monstrous yet I was able to beat him at pure strength, something that's not at all easy to accomplish, and that was not the end, my leg that kicked was able to stop the ax at its place, unable to hurt me but that was just the beginning as the ax shined blue and several whips of water broke out from it aiming at my body
I moved fast dodging the attack as I flashed and appeared at another place but it would seem that it was a trap because just as I had appeared in a safe place a huge powerful attack seemed to be blasted to me, turning my eyes I could see Ronaior bending as he held his rapier a huge amount of mana seemed to be accumulating within him, it would seem that as I fought he was preparing a spell and it was too late to stop it as he waved his rapier forwards causing a bright silver light to be released from it as it aimed at my head
It was so fast that it appeared before me in a blink of an eye, moreover, Ronairo was smart as he only attacked me just as I had landed safely, just as the attack was reaching me I could feel the power behind it and I knew that this power was more than enough to hurt an Origin level 6 but to it, I just raised my hands as the attack just hit my hand and to those watching, they could only look with disbelief as the attack hit my hand and caused nothing
That's right the ray-like attack was hitting my hand yet nothing happened, well the reason for it was because I had gathered a bit of chaos element at the center of my hand, causing the attack to just disappear as it hit my hand but to the ones watching I was just taking the attack with my body, some even started to think that I was a dragon in disguise but the ones who were feeling the worst were the three princes who were looking at me with eyes wide in disbelief especially Ronairo who knew the power of his attack well
And soon the attack ended as silence descended, I raised my hand that deflected the attack as I blew at my hand like it was hot, soon my eyes tuned to the three repeating the same pointing motion, this time I could even see the calculative Naraik get enraged and now they got really serious
Soon Marak lighted up with a red glow as the fire started to spread across his body his hand seemed to be healed by the glow, red fire like armor covered his body as gauntlets made of fire started to surround him, soon he was like a fire knight as he looked at me but this was not the end as the same thing happened with Naraik as blue water like armor surrounded him, blue water like helmet covered his head as two axes came to his hand
As for Ronairo, two silver like wings appeared from his legs as a lightweight like silver body protection covered his body, all three of them had activated their secret arts, ready to take this to another level, soon the mana within the atmosphere started to fluctuate wildly, a dense and heavy atmosphere filled the surrounding, even the referee at the sky was looking at the match with focused eyes, he would never be able to take the brunt if anything happened to any of us
The audiences all had eyes wide open to see the match, a sense of peace filled the atmosphere for a moment which was soon broken as all three of them moved and attacked me at the same time, the ground cracked under their legs as the mana in the surroundings flared up in frenzy, I smiled as I raised hands
'Well time for the finale'
Chapter 182: Fight End
The whole stadium watched with deep breaths as the finale of the match started, Marak's flame-like body blasted forward as the heat from his body seemed to make the atmosphere hot, his hand moved forward as he reached close to me, there was only a blur as his flame-like hand punched towards my chest
At the same time the flames around him seemed to have gained life as they followed his punch and a recoil punch followed behind it with heat to burn anything in its path, my eyes calmly analyzed them as the mana within me rose, soon several barriers started to surround me with great speed
Some of the mages who were watching had disbelieving expressions as they saw the speed at which my chanting had taken place, soon Marak's punch landed on them, even with his monstrous strength the barriers only cracked, sadly his recoil punch landed at the same time causing the barrier cracks to spread and for me to fly away due to the sheer after pressure
And just as I was shot away Naraik appeared above me, his sharp eyes could be seen threw his helmet as he waved his ax downwards to bisect me, the mana within the surrounding seemed to have been shaken as the ax moved at speed towards my body and that was not the end as hundred of whips followed his attack ready to destroy me from everywhere as they surrounded me
Sadly for him, his attack was destined to fail as the ground below me split up to protect me, it was as if the earth wanted to protect me from all that was dangerous, Nariak's attack landed causing the earth to blow up into pieces soon the whips that surrounded him seemed to come to life as they moved forward to attack me after I had become partially visible
But hundreds of the earth like spears rose from the ground as they battled with the whips that wished to harm me, soon earth-like pillar rose from the ground that hit both Naraik and Marak away, just as a sense of peace was building up Ronairo appeared in front me with a speed I couldn't match
And well there was no then…as Ronair moved his hand at a speed that broke the speed barrier as his rapier attacked at least a hundred times and with that I flew with a boom, no one except for the truly powerful was able to see what happened as I flew away
Soon I crashed to the ground as the dust rose to the sky as a crater was made at the place I had landed, soon silence descended as everybody saw the three princes panting and looking towards the dust that rose to the sky, activating and holding secret techniques require a huge amount of mana and they were being drained of it, soon they heard a sound of clapping
Clap…Clap…Clap
The dust moved as I appeared from the crash all safe and sound without a single injury, I have to say these kids were truly good and powerful and if it was anybody other than me fighting the three of them then they would have had their ass handled to them but sadly they're fighting me, with as smile I looked at the three princes as I spoke
"Now that was good but sadly not good enough plus this has gone for far too long anyway, brace yourself here I come"
And just as I had finished speaking all of them had serious expressions after all this was the first time that I will be actively attacking, soon lighting flickered in my body as it focused within my legs, the high-level mages seeing this couldn't help but have their eyes twitch at the sight
Right now I was showing a perfect display of control over the lighting element, where just before I did the same for the earth element, not only do I have supreme mastery over magic but also archery and body cultivation too, some people beginning to think that they were dreaming
Well sadly this was not a dream as I had disappeared from where I stood and appeared before Marak and before he could react I punched him in the stomach a hundred times, the space around where I punched seemed to have cracked as Marak spit out blood causing him to faint as his body flew away
And this was just the begging as I vanished again and appeared before Naraik who had his legs held to the ground by the earth itself, my hands moved as I pointed to him the skies rumbled as purple lighting descend from the sky hitting Naraik, basically with his water armor he was roasted to sleep
And I turned to Ronairo who was already in front of me swinging his rapier to my face but sadly for him, his speed was too slow for me, I simply moved as I teleported behind him caught his neck, and threw him to the side and just as he was flying away hundreds of ball-like boulders moved towards him hitting him from all the direction, soon he was beaten to unconsciousness
And with that I coolly stood in the centers of arena among the stunned audience, I lifted my head as I looked towards the audience with my hands raised indicating my win, it only then did the referee break out of his daze
"T-The wi-winner is Austin Lionheart!"
"Whooo!!"
And with the referee's words, the audience broke out of their daze as they startedclapping, soon they fervently started to chant my name
"Austin….Austin…..Austin…"
I smiled as I waved at them, I did this for a few more minutes before I started to walk away, meanwhile the strong and powerful were truly left speechless and apprehensive, unlike the common people, they were truly able to understand the depth of what I had done and the strength brought them more fear because I didn't show them my limit!
From time immemorial the things that people feared the most were the unknown and now I was within that category, after all the skills I showed were mind-blowing, I am pretty sure that I got within the radar of very powerful people but hey why should I care?
'I think its time to stop holding back'
Well, I am no protagonist to keep holding back what I could do, my status itself is very high, moreover, I have a frikcing dragon and a goddess protecting, in this world only the supreme goddess will be able to do anything to me but it's not like she was wasting her time with me right?
But sadly at that time, I didn't know that a certain pink-haired goddess was watching me and that watching me was becoming an obsession too…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"He's strong"
Ella spoke as she frowned but sadly only the response she got was silence from the three girls in the room who were looking at Austin leaving with different gazes, Nora was proud, meanwhile Olivia had a frown and Carmel had a serious expression on her face, turning to Ella she spoke
"Ella, change the danger rating for Austin and his group"
"Um? sure what should the rating be?"
Carmel looked at the leaving Austin before she spoke again
"Saint rank…."
