Chapter 180 Raghnall Vs Bangle (2/2)

”I… understand. And I apologize for asking too much from you. You were obviously tired and stressed out from all the things you had to do and I failed to see that since you were always so… cheerful whenever we meet. And instead of helping, I was only adding more to your stress by forcing you to train. I guess a break once in a while won't hurt.”

Inna smiled and she reached out to pat his head. But before her hand could even come in contact with his hair, Raghnall grabbed it roughly.

”What's this?! Where did you get this?!”

Inna struggled to release her hand but her efforts were futile. Raghnall's grip was far too sturdy for her to shake off.

She looked at him incredulously as she spoke.

”What's with you?! I just got it from a friend!”

Raghnall's grip tightened as his expression darkened. Then, his other hand grabbed the bangle and he suddenly uttered a spell.

”Streccan.”

Inna gasped in shock and she swiftly countered his spell with another spell.

”Scrincan!”

Then, using all the power she can muster, she roughly shook off both his hands and withdrew a few steps back as she cautiously stared at him.

”What the heck are you doing?!”

Was Raghnall trying to remove the bangle from her?!

Raghnall clicked his tongue in annoyance as he stared at the annoying bangle. Then, he looked at Inna impatiently while pointing at the bangle.

”Hurry and take it off before someone sees it!”

Utterly startled and confused, Inna had trouble following his command. She held on the bangle tightly as she looked at him suspiciously.

”Why?!”

Raghnall looked conflicted and he started to sputter. But he soon decided to just answer her vaguely.

”Just because!”

Hearing his halfhearted answer, Inna was starting to get angry.

”If you won't give me a solid reason, then I'm not taking it off! It's something important that was given to me by a friend and I'm not someone who would remove it for a reason of 'just because'!”

Raghnall gritted his teeth in frustration.

Why was she not listening?!

Does she not know what that thing was?!

He really didn't want her carrying that around.

Nothing good ever comes from wearing it. It's bound to just cause trouble.

But if she wouldn't take it off without a valid reason…

Then if he told her everything about it, would she take it off?

Raghnall was about to explain his actions when a loud shout made both him and Inna jump.

”Can you lovebirds fight tomorrow?! Someone is trying to sleep and your incessant quarreling is making me want to throw a knife at your throats! And you Mr. Raghnall! Visiting hours are over! Get out and go back to your own dorm! And if I hear your voice still there, I'll be calling your prefect over and you'll have to answer to him!”

Ulima's cranky voice startled both of them as they instinctively looked at the house in shock.

Hearing Ulima's warning, Raghnall had no choice but to leave. So, with gritted teeth, he looked at Inna seriously.

”If you're not going to return it, or throw it away, you should just keep it hidden inside your pouch where no one can see. That thing is more trouble than it's worth. Trust me. So hide it at all costs.”

Then with those last words, he turned around and walked until he disappeared into the dense mass of trees.
