81 Morgan (1/2)

Erone's voice was filled with sincerity as he bowed towards the poster of his god.

”O' great savior of women, bless me so that I can bless the women on your behalf!”

Far away, Kiba's face was twitching in embarrassment. He was speechless after seeing his poster but now Erone's devotion left him red-faced.

”What do I do?” Kiba muttered.

[[You were supposed to punish him, right?]] Claudia reminded him of his previous words.

”Cough...technically that kid isn't at fault,” Kiba reasoned.

[[Really?]]

The cellphone's screen was now filled with a list of 100+ people.

[[What about these people who weren't technically at fault but punished anyways for offending you?]] Claudia asked.

”Sometimes it doesn't hurt to try a new approach,” Kiba tried to hide his embarrassment as he continued, ”Besides I have been magnanimous with Daniel and Sarah so it will be unfair to punish that kid alone.”

[[I am sure Daniel will beg to disagree.]]

Kiba didn't say anything further as he teleported away.

Kiba was back in the lab to study the body reports of Agatha carefully. He has built the lab to study the effect of his cosmic power on himself but to no result. So he thought Agatha's report can help him since she carried a small trace of cosmic power.

”It is useless,” Kiba muttered after an hour or so of deliberation.

[[Just studying her report couldn't help you]] Claudia said.

”I will never use her,” Kiba knew what she was trying to imply.

The only way he could truly benefit is if he carried experiments and more depth research on Agatha. If it was someone else then Kiba would have no hesitation in conducting experiments but not Agatha.

[[I know.]] Claudia knew her master much better than anyone else.

”Sighs~ I have to start attending academy from tomorrow,” Kiba said after a minute. From last one week, he has bunked his classes since he was busy with his 'responsibilities'.

[[You better have some excuse for Lady Felicity isn't pleased with the excuses I gave her]] Claudia showed a log of the conversation with Felicity.

”I just hope she doesn't take me to some trip,” Kiba said as he checked the logs.

[[You can always resist if you don't like her ideas.]]

”She is doing everything for my sake so how can I resist?” Kiba said with a sigh. Felicity's ideas always give him a headache but he knew how much she cared for him.

In the academy, there were rumors about them being a couple but Claudia knew the truth. Neither of them has sexual or romantic desires towards each other. They were almost like siblings even without any blood ties.

Only Claudia knew why Kiba cared so much about Felicity even with all his strange dreams...

*beep*

[[As expected a trouble has arrived]] Claudia said after reading a message sent to Kiba's email.

”Hmm?” Kiba looked at the virtual screen. It showed a message from Close Horizon asking his urgent presence.

The email was the only way the most corporate could contact Kiba since he was prone to disappearance like a ghost. Even this wasn't the sure way of establishing contact with him but it was better than having no means.

”Hardly a trouble,” Kiba said after reading the entire message.

[[Are you going now? They can't do anything to you even if you ignore the message for some days.]]

”I have some time to spare now,” Kiba said as the rays of white light surrounded him.
