Chapter 42: The challenge (2/2)

”Suu~~!” Suika was as energetic as usual. She looked around and saw that Emilia was around so she jumped to her. She had become acquainted with her last and they both hit it off very well. Hayato on the side looked startled when he saw Suika, it seemed like he felt that shouldn't be messed around with.

”Did your color change, Suika?” Emilia seemed to notice the difference in Suika after her evolution and asked about it.

”Suu!” It seemed like Suika was telling her that she got stronger, Emilia felt this and smiled. Ed smiled too and chuckled in his mind since it was very rare to see Emilia smiling. 'A smile suits her better after all'.

Hayato soon snapped out of his daze and introduced himself to Suika who greeted him back. She seemed like she didn't mind him being there after all.

The four of them kept strolling around the academy grounds, now their group was attracting attention because of Suika. Soon enough someone approached them.

”You there! Fight me!” It was the beast woman from earlier and she was pointing at Ed while speaking.

Ed looked at her for one second and averted his gaze and started moving.

”Don't ignore me when I just challenged you!” The woman seemed pissed and got even more persistent. She was now right in front of Ed.

”Eh? You were talking to me?!” Ed acted as if he didn't know she was targeting him and feigned ignorance.

”Of course I'm talking to you! Who else is there in front of me?” Ed could see the veins on her head showing up.

”Oh I'm sorry but I can't fight you” Ed waved his hand and tried to move past her but she didn't let him.

”Why not? Don't you have your pride, you'll just walk away from a challenge.” The woman didn't seem like she will let him go.

”I don't want to fight a war I can't win” Ed wasn't implying like he will lose against her, but there wasn't anything to gain by fighting her.

”Well, I'm not letting you leave until we fight” She took a stance and started her assault on Ed.
