Chapter 209 BE
A couple of minutes later
While Queen Mother and Professor Frances were both busy on whatever the professor was planning to do, Alex and Alina were back at the wooden house
Alex, as planning to sleep earlier, was forced by Alina to come with her and leave the professor and Queen Mother alone
”Alina, why do you want to ave her a weary look ”Don't you want to make me rest?”
”Alex, you should know that with your current constitution, it will be quite difficult for you to get exhausted” Alina replied as she gave Alex cold look ”You want to take a nap? Hmph, more like you want to just laze around until Professor Frances finishes what she's doing now”
”Well…”
”Don't try to answer now, Alex I will see if you lie”
”…”
With this powerful rebuke from Alina, Alex was left with no choice but to follow her whims
”So, what do you want to make me do now?” Alex asked Alina as the so roo with therandfather were asleep right now As for Asteria, she was in the lair along with Queen Mother, probably interested on watching the professor's actions
”I want to fight against you, Alex” Alina replied as she took a deep breath Her eyes stared at Alex directly, but instead of the usual 'I'ht noas only sheer determination ”Surely you can fulfill a request like that”
”Wait, you want us to fight now?” Even though he sounded duht now, Alex had no choice but to state what Alina just said
”Alex, that is just what I literally said” Alina replied with an exasperated expression on her face ”And to answer your question, yes I want to fight you, and I want to do it now”
”…”
”Alex, you know the benefits that ill get if we fight each other right now” Alina said as she saw Alex's silent visage ”Alex, even if we are allies, we still need to test our levels of strength, and only through fighting each other that we can do that Surely, you can understand what I aht?”
Of course Alex can perfectly understand Alina
Just like what Alina had stated, Alex also thinks that sparring between the the times like these, where they have to be sure about their lireement with Alina, there is no reason for Alex to reject Alina's proposal to fight or spar with her right now
However, since their last fight, Alex was subtly avoiding any kind of fight with Alina, as he was not that confident of winning against her
Call it his pride, but Alex was a sore loser, and he was not that enthused on fighting against someone powerful
Alina, with her powerful diic, was obviously one of these powerful people
Of course he will fight a powerful person if he has to, but if he had to fight only for a spar? Well, that's a different kind of topic already
At one glance, Alex ht seem petty and cowardly with this kind of attitude, but he was not ashamed with this, as this kind of attitude allowed him to survive his childhood days
Since this survival attitude worked for him before, then Alex will just obviously use it here too
”Alex, I know that you are a little wary of fighting against et to surpass your… biases” Alina said through gritted teeth as she seemed to lose her patience with Alex ”Why are you even wary of ht now, and you can also weakly her dimensions” Alex replied as he tilted his head ”Not only that, but your Dark Magic has also reached Grade 6, and your Esper Poas also way higher than ht now… Even if I haveus two is stronger”
”Alex, I can understand why you are this cautious… But I aainst me” Alina said as she placed both of her hands on Alex's cheeks ”If you are this cautious against an eneht now But Alex, I'm not your enemy at all!”
”But-”
”Alex, are you scared of an to squeeze Alex's cheeks ”Even if you are applying your principles here, I still could not help but feel offended but what you are doing right now”
”Of course I'm not scared of you, Alina In fact I-o, o! Don't squeeze nored Alex's co
”Alex, will you spar with me, or not?” Alina asked but this time, she asked it in a way that she won't accept a no as an answer
”Fine, I will spar with you” Alex replied as he let out a defeated sigh ”But I'et injured, don't get that angry to le after hearing this reply, as Alex's words and attitude right noas a direct contrast of the way that he acted earlier
”What's wrong Alina? Did I do so funny?” Alex asked Alina as he saw the amusement on her face ”Hey Alina, don't look at me like that! I'm not a weird person!”
”Oh Alex… You really are an inconsistent person” Alina replied as she shook her head in aed to become a Traveler… You are just as chaotic as a prankster”
”Hey! What's that supposed to mean!”
