Chapter 181 Just What Is That Bangle? (1/2)

Watching the direction where Raghnall just left, Inna began to wonder what issue he had with the bangle.

She stared hard at it, hoping that the more she looked the more she'll be able to understand why he had such an adverse reaction to her wearing it.

But no matter how hard she stared at it from every angle, she just couldn't make sense of Raghnall's outburst.

Was the bangle really something that'll bring her trouble?

Did Rhys lie about him personally making it?

Was it a stolen item?

Or maybe a cursed thing?

Was it previously owned by a vengeful rich noble?

Oh no, will the ghost of the owner come to claim it or something?

She was beginning to get scared of her own thoughts.

Well, maybe she should just keep it in her pouch just to be safe.

And it's not like it has any use in the Magic Department besides being a pretty bangle.

So she decided to adhere with Raghnall's words and after expanding it with the spell, she gingerly placed it inside her spatial pouch.

At the same time, Raghnall was staring at the top of the huge wall that separated the two departments as he slowly walked near it.

He went back to his dorm briefly to cast an illusion spell to make others believe that he was sleeping in his room. Then, he quickly went to the border wall where he knew Rhys was waiting on top of it.

After casting a floating spell, Raghnall was finally able to see Rhys face to face.

Rhys was previously laying down and looking at the stars but when he saw Raghnall at the corner of his eye, he sat up excitedly and he greeted him with a smile.

”Hey there, asshole!”

Raghnall furrowed his brows as he heard the uncanny word and he couldn't help but ask.

”Asshole?”

Rhys smiled cheekily as he nodded.

”Yeap, you're an asshole too. Though I'm much more of an asshole than you. I'm like, the best asshole there is.”

He then puffed his chest as though to emphasize. Meanwhile, Raghnall looked at Rhys weirdly.

”Who told you this? And what does that word even mean?”

Rhys placed his hand behind him as he leaned on it. He looked nonchalant but he held a boastful tone in his voice that made Raghnall's eye twitch.

”Nana said that it's a word used to address handsome and powerful men. And she told me that I'm the best example of it.”

Raghnall hid the surprise he felt from his friend's words.

Nana?

Is that his… nickname for her?

Does that mean that they've talked and got friendly with each other while she was on the other side?

Raghnall's hand clenched in irritation but he didn't let it show on his face and tone.

”Oh, so it was 'Nana' who told you, huh. You two must be so close now.”

Despite hearing a hint of venom in Raghnall's tone, Rhys's bright smile didn't seem to diminish in the least as he started telling Raghnall about his fun day.

”Hey, hey, hey, did you know that she tore through one of the walls in the oak dorms using her face? Talk about a thick face, am I right?”

Rhys was finally able to release the huge guffaw that he wanted to release when he knew of what happened. Then, without giving Raghnall the chance to react, he began to talk rapidly again. He was like a child telling his parents excitedly what he did during the day and Raghnall couldn't help but lightly smile, easing his irritation, as he looked at his old friend.
