Chapter 24: Barbara Gains Weight (1/2)

- Tuesday, June 20th of the year 3031 -

At school in the morning, Amon had his hands in his pockets and chocolate candy in his mouth, he swept his honey-colored eyes across the crowd immediately causing them to freeze in place; they dared not make a single move.

Maisa and Julia could not help but be impressed by such a scene. Before, they didn't notice much, but now they saw how much Amon was feared, especially after the school tournament. Now a simple look made them freeze in place.

”Amon, are you going to do anything after school?” Julia called for him and asked.

”Mm…” Amon stopped sucking the candy and looked at her. After thinking for a moment, he replied, ”I didn't plan anything, but I want to train when I get home.”

”Good! So, let's go out together, you, Maisa, and I?” Julia invited him with a smile.

Some who heard this came out of their daze to be stunned for another reason. Julia, who was always cheerful but indifferent to the boys, was inviting Amon out for fun after school.

”Bastard!” Elijah who just arrived screamed at this.

Amon had a wicked charm and looked undisciplined, but his eyes looked into Julia's face with the same indifference as usual. From start to finish, he didn't look at the young man sitting in the car who was gritting his teeth hard, as if he didn't even notice his existence. ”All right.” Amon nodded.

”Excellent!” Julia smiled beautifully when receiving a positive response.

”By the way, Amon.” Trying to contain her happiness, Maísa changes the subject: ”The interscholastic tournament will start on the 24th and will continue until the 25th. You and Julia will be part of the same team by challenging the other schools.”

”Oh, there was that.” Amon asked with a neutral expression, ”Is there anyone strong in the other schools?”

”Yes.” Maísa said with a cute smile on her face: ”I think you'll be able to have fun if you participate, I learned that at least 4 schools have students above level 20 in genetics.”

”Mm, it's not bad, but I already have level 32 in genetics and 31 filled with lightning.” Amon said indifferently without changing his expression: ”I don't think it will be profitable to participate; the meat is not good, so I'm not interested in the prize.”

Not to mention that with his Fury gene is at level 35, It was almost impossible for this to be of interest to him considering his current strength level. If it is not necessary, he prefers to go to the mountains on weekends and train, which was actually profitable for him.

”If Amon doesn't participate, I won't either.” Julia was more interested in training with Amon than going to fight unknown people for a prize that is impossible to win without Amon's help; especially with Nick Miranda still in the hospital and Elijah would be pestering her. Just thinking about it makes her feel uncomfortable.

Maisa was not surprised by Julia's refusal to participate in the tournament and she could imagine the reasons, as she casually said, ”Then don't participate~”

”Yeah, I won't. By the way, we are getting stronger and stronger. Can we go to the mountains with you next time?” Julia asked with her eyes shining.

Amon considered for a moment and nodded indifferently, ”Okay, you can go with me.”

”Yes!” Maísa and Julia celebrated and were shy after seeing that many students saw the actions of the two when they were rejoicing as if they were celebrating a victory point for their favorite volleyball team.

”Hello...” Julia and Maísa turned around and were surprised by what they saw; Barbara had gained about 5 kilos in 1 day. How is that possible?

”You ate monster meat?” Amon guessed as he looked her up and down. Her face was plumper and she got a bump on her stomach. Before, she looked so skinny, but now she was like that overnight.

”Yes, my mom bought a lot for me and I ended up eating it all,” Barbara said feeling guilty, she almost didn't come to class today, but she didn't want to be like that; even if she got a little chubby, she wouldn't let herself be shaken, but it was easier said than done; standing in front of Amon she begins to shudder with tears threatening to fall at any moment.

”Meat is not good.” Amon thought and said, ”Mm, come with us to the mountain, go train and burn the dirt you've accumulated from the meat, but don't eat any more meat, okay?”

”Amon...” Maísa was going to say no, but seeing the pitiful state of Barbara who was about to cry, she sighed and swallowed what she was going to say.

”Thank you, I would love to!” Barbara was moved, she said to herself: 'I'll listen to him, I shouldn't be in a hurry... This is what I get for being so hasty!'

But somehow, she benefited from it. She didn't know if she would have a chance to train with Amon but it sure as hell wouldn't be in the mountains anytime soon, maybe it's a case of something good coming out of the bad. She smiled, not caring about people pointing and laughing at her.

While Amon doesn't care, she doesn't care... Well, that's not entirely true, she threw some little fireballs at these people and made them run away screaming in fear.

”Ahhh!”

”You delinquent!”

”I'll tell my mom everything.”

”This girl is crazy!”

'Go laugh at your grandmother!' Barbara cursed in her mind. Turning around and looking at them, she snorted coldly as she saw them run away while some of them had their clothes burned.
