117 Two dumb whores (1/2)

Helial stared at his sister in bafflement. Lumia was but a innocent-looking little girl, and yet her sharp words just caused a diplomatic disaster. The conciliatory talking Helial had in mind had just turned into a war declaration.

”Repeat, please?” Medusa said as she furrowed her eyebrows. Her face was red with anger. ”I'm not quite sure I have this right.” A tangible killing intent began to gather about her.

Helial realized things weren't looking good. He gently pulled her sister to hint that she must now step back. Why was he surrounded by irrational people?

Lumia slightly rouse her chin as she completely ignored Helial's silent imploring. Her eyes giving off utter disdain, she went on: ”You're not even worth occupying my sight, let alone that of my brother. I'm just in the First Phase Intermediate stage, but who of you could put a finger on me? And you wanna spit over my brother's honor? You pass through me first.”

Medea was about to pass out. She gazed at her sister; she was frothing at the mouth. ”How dare you!”

”What? Aren't you the greatest geniuses in your generation?” asked Lumia as she fluttered her eyelashes innocently.

Medea and Medusa bit their lip in grudge. They couldn't answer that question. Because obviously, the answer was no. Medusa was in the same generation as Pseudonym and Circe, while Medea belonged to that of Helial. However, Medea only formed around sixty steps in her entrance test, while Helial accomplished the same feat as Pseudonym - something no one else had accomplished throughout the past centuries. Even Frankenstein reached higher than Medea. How could she claim the title of first best in her generation? Even the wicked care about the likeliness of their words!

”Yeah, I thought so. Two dumb whores looking for trouble. And with no title at all…”

”You damned brat, don't you dare talk to me like this! You don't know who I am!” Medea screamed at the top of her lungs. She was on the edge on mental breakdown.

While Lumia went on responding in kind, Helial began to analyze the situation from a new standpoint. Battle was unavoidable at this point. He was still hoping that some senior member of the Royal Academy would magically appear out of nothing. But he wasn't really getting his hopes up.

Perception

Helial carefully inspected Medusa's body. Before his eyes was a pile of grey corrosive Mana that seemed to infect the air all around them. Then, as he knitted his brow, he examined Medea. She wouldn't appear to be as peculiar as her sister.

Apparently, her Mana is altered by some poisonous property just like that of her cousin Comodus. And yet she doesn't seem as strong as him. She must have reached the Third Phase as fast as Circe and Pseudonym thanks to that Mana. She probably used some outer venom to upgrade her Skills and level up fleetly, but…
