Chapter 41 - Backing it up (1/2)
'Oh ho, now that's some malice.' Feeling Gauche's murderous aura, Grim couldn't help but smile as his fire sword manifested in his hand.
Seeing the loving look Marie was giving Grim and Asta, Gauche couldn't hold himself back as his mana started to fluctuate. ”For tainting the mind of my beloved Marie, I SENTENCE YOU TO DEATH!”
[Mirror Magic: Reflect Ray]
Summoning out a large mirror tool, Gauche's mana ran through his body and into his grimoire as he prepared to activate a spell.
Grinning at the prospect at fighting a new opponent, Grim dug his feet into the ground as he lowered his stance as prepared to shoot forward.
[Breath of Flames: First Form - Unknowing Fire]
*BOOM!!*
Bursting forward at neck breaking speed, Grim left a fiery trail of flames behind him as his figure shot forward and appeared in front of Gauche with the tip of his sword pressed against his adam apple.
'...W-What!?'
Unable to believe what had just occurred, Gauche blinked several times until he was sure that the cold feeling pressing against his throat was a sword.
'H-He's in front of me!!'
”You thought you could kill me with this amount of skill?” Grim spoke in a quiet time so that only Gauche could hear him. ”I don't know if I should feel insulted or not.”
Feeling the sword dig deeper into his skin, worry finally descended upon Gauche as he realized that he was seconds away from death. And to make matters even worse, this damned brat was smiling like with fuċkɨnġ joy!
'This bastard!'
”You couldn't even react to my speed and yet you thought you could kill me? Are you retarded?”
But just before Grim could push the sword forward, a loud voice stopped him from proceeding any further and drew in everyone's attention.
”WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!?”
”Huh?”
”Eh?”
Turning their heads in the direction the voice was coming from, the gray haired nun Theresa stood there and looked at him and Gauche questionably.
---
”WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO!!” Theresa shouted as both boys stood before her.
”What? I was just showing him that you shouldn't be arrogant unless you have the ability to back it up.” Grim smiled innocently while switching between magic attributes for practice.
”Arrogant? YOU'RE THE MOST ARROGANT PERSON HERE!!”
”Hehehe yeah.”
'This muthafucka!'
[A/n: Lol, calm down sister.]
”Tch, where's Marie.” Gauche muttered no longer caring about Grim. After sister Theresa came out, Marie and the other children were sent back inside the church while she reprimanded the two of them.
”And you!!” She turned her attention onto Gauche. ”Why in God's name did you pick a fight with this psycho!”
”Psycho? That's a bit harsh.” Grim said after hearing Theresa chastise Gauche.
”BE QUIET!!” She yelled growing more and more annoyed by Grim's nonchalant attitude before switching back to Gauche.
Ignoring Gauche getting reprimanded, Grim realized that he still hadn't had a rematch with Theresa yet.
”You Goddamn sister loving fr-
”Hey sister, how about we go at it again?” Grim asked without anyone around them understanding the context.
”What?” Surprised by Grim's sudden question, Theresa stopped reprimanding Gauche and looked at Grim with confusion.
”You know what. The last time I was here you left me laying flat on my ȧss from exhaustion. For an old lady you really wore me out, now I want to show you that just what I've learnt in these last couple of months!”
'WHAT!!'
