Chapter 179 Best Example Of An Asshole (1/2)

”You really have a habit of blackmailing people, huh.”

Inna remarked as she carefully wore the beautiful bangle on her wrist.

Rhys laughed and he couldn't help but agree with her.

”I'm afraid to say that it has become a habit nowadays.”

Then, he stared at the bangle with a glint in his eyes as he spoke.

”But seriously, don't feel too bad about taking it. It's something that can let you enter and leave the Combat Department easily once you show it by the main gates. Just think of it as a guest pass of some sort.”

Inna raised her eyebrows as she admired the ivy designs that seemed to wrap prettily around her wrist.

”Well, why didn't you say so! I wouldn't reject something that's useful!”

Rhy joined her in admiring the bangle on her wrist while he spoke.

”Just… don't show it to others in the combat department aside from the guards. And go straight to the oak dorms, okay?”

Inna found the conditions he set out strange but she didn't think much into it.

He probably didn't want it to get exposed much since it might get stolen by someone.

Well, luckily her sleeves were long enough to cover her wrists so the only way they could be seen would be when she either raises her arms or her sleeves.

Then, when she moved her hand slightly, the bangle started to dangerously slide out of her wrist. Fortunately, she noticed it just before it could completely slide off and she quickly brought her hand and the bangle towards her chest in fear of it falling. Feeling her heart hammering out her chest, she sighed in relief when she saw that the bangle was safe.

”Oh my god, that was close. Hey, is there any way for this thing to… shrink a bit? I'm afraid that if I so much as flick my wrist, the thing might go flying off to the other side of the world.”

Rhys furrowed his brows as he tried to recall its mechanism. He made it years ago and almost forgot about it so he had trouble recalling which trigger made it shrink. Giving it a try, he held her wrist as he tapped on the red ruby's engraved rose which he himself crafted.

”Scrincan.”

The ruby reacted to the magic poured in by Rhys making it glowed brightly. And much to Inna's amazement, the ivies started to convulse and move, soon compressing themselves as they fit around her wrist snugly.

Rhys checked to see whether it was too tight or just the right size but seeing Inna's bright happy smile, he figured that it must be just the right size.

”So, if you want it to remove it, just trigger the spell inside it. The word for making it bigger is 'streccan' and in a second, it'll go back to its original size.”

Inna nodded obediently and she decided to try it out.

”Streccan.”

The red gem glowed bright and the ivies started to elongate and move back to their earlier position.

”Scrincan.”

Just as Inna expected, the red gem glowed brightly once again and it shrunk back into place.

Barely holding in her excitement from the magical effects, she squealed in delight.

Oh sweet mother of all, this is the first time she ever had such a cool effect on jewelry. The black diamond necklace she had from Ulima seemed like a rock by the side of the road if she compared it to the thing she currently had on her wrist.

When he saw her face lit up from such a simple spell, Rhys couldn't help but chuckle.

”Since I gave you that, better visit me soon, okay? It's been a while since I had so much fun. And I feel like it's been forever since I had someone to talk to and tease. Though I had to admit, we started off in the worst possible way.”

Inna laughed as she agreed.

She couldn't even believe that all of the events and the thrills she had only happened in a single day.

And seeing them right now, she couldn't help but laugh again at the ridiculousness of how her day concluded.

Rhys tried to hurt her.
