Chapter 42: For His Sake

Asher stayed silent, doubting he could do much, given Lucy's personality. 

'He's giving me way too much credit,' he sighed, and looked away. 

Nakata fidgeted, shifting from foot to foot, and leaning closer. "Bro, don't just stay quiet," he urged, but despite his efforts, he received no response.

Seeing this, he decided to change his strategy, and dropped to one knee to quickly apologized

"Sister Lucy, I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Let's head to the training room—Nakata's probably waiting for us." he said.

Without waiting for an answer, he turned and hurried down the hall, his steps faster than usual, afraid she might hit him.

Lucy sighed heavily, rolling her eyes at his retreating figure. "That brat," 

She chose to let it go for Asher's sake. 

The sooner he finished his revenge, the sooner he could grow both physically and emotionally.

They passed a wide staircase, and he led them to a wall tucked away in a corner.
