Clovist Training [4]
****
'Huh?' Amon blurted out in his thoughts, not making anything out of the sudden events.
He suddenly felt Elizabeth's hand touch his wound before starting to glow light blue a second later.
In tandem, he felt a chilling coldness on his wound as ice started to form on the spot.
After some seconds, the glow finally faded and she took off her hand and looked at him with anger and a tinge of annoyance.
"Why do you keep injuring yourself?" She questioned.
Not finding any words to answer her, Amon averted her gray stormy eyes and scratched his head.
"Your sister keeps worrying about you but yet here you are, still injuring yourself. Do you not care about yourself?" She further questioned.
Ignoring her raging stare, he tried to bring up an excuse.
"I mean, my element is [Blood], so there was no other way for-"
"You could have just refused to participate." She rebutted, interrupting him.
He went silent at her answer.
Silence ensued between them for a few seconds before she let out a deep sigh.
"Alright, let's just leave this topic. However, stay away from that man." She gestured with her eyes towards Daniel, who leaned back against a tree.
It was then that Amon finally realized the cause of her sudden reaction back there.
The potion that Daniel was handed to him for his would was probably mixed with corrupted mana.
The potion would slowly and steadily destroy his mana veins, leaving him with no choice but to become a ghoul contractor.
Elizabeth must have seen his malicious emotions and quickly butted in to save him from the man.
If not for her, he would have truly been a goner.
He didn't understand why Daniel suddenly took an interest in him.
'Fuck….this wasn't supposed to happen.' He cursed internally at the sudden change.
This meant that he was now one of his targets to turn into a ghoul contractor.
Feeling his brain hurt from this thinking, he let go of the thought, thinking that it would be right as long as the original plotline proceeded normally.
As long as Daniel still took Michael in as a disciple, it would be fine.
But there was a more important matter at hand right now.
One that he had ignored.
He didn't realize this at first but now he did.
He thought that just because he was not a part of this novel, he was safe from all threats.
But if not for Elizabeth's intervention just now, he would have truly been a goner.
He would have just turned into a slave and then into a ghoul beast later on.
It was chilling and scary to think about it and how ignorant he had been.
Going on in the future, he had to be more careful.
Focusing back on Elizabeth, he couldn't thank her enough in his heart right now.
He was truly grateful to her even though he couldn't say it.
Which is why, he feigned ignorance.
"Why?"
She shook her head in response.
"I can't tell you the reason but just please trust me. Stay miles away from that man."
He knew that she couldn't tell him about the emotional palette ability of hers.
Therefore, he just trusted her and answered back.
"Alright, I understand."
Elizabeth nodded.
"We should go back now."
And she turned to leave, but suddenly Amon remembered to thank her for the healing.
"Ah, just a moment."
She turned back, tilting her head in confusion.
"Yeah?"
He smiled gratefully.
"Thanks for healing my wound."
At his words, she suddenly went rigid.
Silence reigned between them for a few seconds before she nodded with a light smile.
"No problem."
Then she turned and walked back to her spot with Amon in tow, missing the slight tink of pink on her pale cheeks.
Arriving back at their spots, he saw that the training from every teacher had already been concluded.
Athena clapped her hands to gain everyone's attention.
"Alright, that's it for today, everyone. Classes are over for today. You will get your schedule according to the electives you have selected by night on your watchbands. From tomorrow, your classes will be according to that. You all can leave now." She explained.
Nodding at her words, everyone instantly joined up with their friends and started to leave.
Amon quickly met up with Michael.
"Hey, training went well?"
Michael smiled and nodded back.
"Yeah, Sir Maxwille is a great teacher. What about you? I forgot who was your teacher."
Amon smiled and nodded, then gestured towards Daniel, who was leaving the grounds.
"Yeah, it also went pretty well. There's the teacher, his name is Sir Daniel."
Following his gesture, Michael looked at Daniel, and not even a second later, a frown coated his features.
Amon instantly noticed the frown.
'He also sees the malicious aura around him.'
[Solaran must have also informed him about it.] Zephyra pointed out and he nodded internally.
Not saying anything about it, he looked around him and noticed Ren was missing.
"Where's Ren? Did you see him?" Amon questioned Michael, changing the topic,
Jolting awake from his thoughts, the latter nodded.
"Ah, oh yeah, he just left with his elder sister after training was over. Said that he had something urgent to attend to."
"Ah."
At the mention of something 'urgent', Michael too suddenly spoke up.
"Actually, I got something urgent to attend to as well, so I'm afraid that I gotta go right now. Meet up tomorrow in the morning?"
At his words, Amon knew that something urgent was training but he didn't mind it.
He, too, had somewhere to go also.
"Yeah, sure. Have a nice day." Amon smiled.
Michael smiled and waved goodbye, before running out of the grounds in a hurry.
Now left alone, he stretched himself, ready to also get to today's work.
Heading out of the grounds, he quickly set his way towards the City Centre again, rather than his apartment.
It was still afternoon, so there was no reason to go back.
Entering the building, he smiled.
It was time to get a weapon and collect his spatial ring!
