Chapter 88: Shawn vs Theo (C) (1/2)

”Why are you so sure, master?” Lisa asked while looking at him.

Elliot hugged her, trapping her softness in his embrace against her will, finding her warmth and sweet scent as the only ways to not lose his fleeting sense of reality.

He said, ”I can see things that others can't.”

Lisa, on the other hand, wondered why he keeps on hugging her every chance he gets.

”Why do you keep on hugging me, master?” Lisa asked with a shy look on her face.

”Maybe because you're extremely huggable,” Elliot said, and Lisa blushed even harder, causing the redness of her face to turn a shade darker.

”Master, how long are you going to keep on holding me in your arms?” Lisa asked without resisting his overflowing love.

”Until I get to fight!” Elliot asked, ”Why? Don't you like it?”

”It's not that I don't like it, but it's just too embarrassing, master,” Lisa said, too shy to glance around.

”You can bite me if you like it, but I still won't set you free,” Elliot replied.

”I will die out of embarrassment at this rate,” Lisa said, feeling heat rising to her ears.

”Weren't you the one who proposed to me in front of an entire class?”

”That situation was different!” Lisa said to defend herself.

”Let's just stay like this for a few minutes,” Elliot said, and Lisa nodded in agreement.

While looking at them, Linda bit her lips, feeling jealous of her rival as she got a good and powerful man before her.

”That bitch! I will teach her a lesson by killing her man in front of the entire crowd. I would only get a strike at most, but the devastated expression on her face would be worth it.”

Her strong desire to kill Elliot and sadden Lisa wasn't without a reason. Lisa always got everything better than herself, from her family to her beauty, and that's how Linda's obsession with being better than Lisa turned into venomous desires that urged her to hurt and destroy her.

Meanwhile, Instructor Nina, the best teacher in the academy, too, felt shocked by the fight between the youngster, so shocked that she didn't see her childhood friend being lovey-dovey with Lisa, once again. ”Is this what a fight between magicians in the first two evolutionary stages looks like?”

Zach, the best alchemist in the academy shook his head and said, ”I don't think so!”

”This child is indeed impressive. The association didn't lie. As long as we train him, he might become a powerful enough magician to stand side by side with the current four Emperors.” Headmaster Gerald said, thinking that he made a good choice in not going against instructor Leonardo's decision to pick him up and enroll him in the academy despite his undeterminable background.

”Headmaster is right. Though, it still surprises me to see that Theo managed to stay undefeated for so long against Shawn, who has two supernatant abilities and is also a realm above him.” Instructor Nina said, a bit awed by the performance of the young man.

”Don't hesitate to call me, grandpa,” Gerald said while gently looking at Nina.

Nina was making herself comfortable by his side because he was her maternal grandfather, someone who also likes to spoil her a lot.

”Yes, grandpa,” Nina said with a hint of respect in her voice.
