41 Natural Selection IX (2/2)

'HOW THE FUCK DID YOU KNOW?!' Nero was blown away by Nova's prediction.

'Well, I had happened to see Felicia's Training master discreetly converse with a certain Hunter, whose traces were one of the only ones that weren't probing us, rather just tracking us. I knew that Felicia, being the hormonal adolescent she was, would come to you after you so unknowingly claimed her heart with your looks and acts. I reckoned the time to be about now after feeling the traces of the Hunter disappearing when we arrived at the Inn.

'In short, my user, you are brick to a girl's feelings, as well as a threat and a hiding menace to society but that doesn't stop me from loving you<3'

'Wait, why do you think I'm a menace t-'

'Are you SERIOUSLY going to leave the girl hanging outside? Welcome her in like a gentleman at least... I really have to teach you a lot of things.' Nova had successfully confused Nero with the barrage differing tones and styles of speech, the playful scolding left Nero completely overwhelmed, he simply had no words.

Pretending as if he didn't know Felicia was there, Nero opened the door.

Felicia jerked with shock as she saw the door open so suddenly.

Nero also pretended to be shocked by her appearance, simply wanting to not make her feel more awkward. But, he forgot to think about one thing.

He wasn't wearing a top, his well-toned young body was in clear display in front of the hormonal young girl.

Thus he achieved the opposite of his intentions, the girl was both embarrassed staring at him and shocked by his surprise appearance.

”Ah! Hello!” Nero was the first to speak, with the aim to break the awkward tension.

”Hey there! I didn't know this was your place, I must've got the wrong room...” Felicia embarrassingly tried to play it cool.

'Yeah right.'

”Oh... you want to come in? I would love to talk about the tournament, I saw you thrash the others completely, it was so funny how they didn't stand a chance!”

With his mature talk, Nero completely dissolved the embarrassment that Felicia had from being caught outside his room but she was still embarrassed about Nero's body out in the open. With Nova, Nero had a perfectly chiselled out body, each muscle was, though still yet to completely grow, very well defined.

”Umm- why not?” Felicia's pale skin was now slightly flush on the cheeks.

Nero, realising his mistake, quickly left the door open and wore the closest grabbed shirt.

Walking in, Felicia saw the lavish suite and chose to sit down on one of the soft-cushioned sofas. She glanced around, her eyes dancing from one painting to another with gleaming light.

Nero noticed, asking: ”You like them?”

”They're beautiful, I want to draw something like the double-finned dolphin too! But... I'm not allowed to draw.” The girl's face became gloomy, it was clear that art was one of her passions.

”Ooh, can you please draw me?” A desperate look of desire flashed on Nero's face, like a long dream of his could finally be accomplished.

”Really? I would love to!” The girl became excited, while Nero went to fetch for an inked quill and a canvas, the girl took deep breaths to calm herself. Her eyes became focussed.

Just as Nero came out with a canvas, Felicia pulled out a needle from her pocket and...

Stabbed him in the neck from behind.
