Chapter 45: Insanity? Wrong, Im sane. (1/2)
”...” Violet wasn't offended by what Scathach said, she was used to the woman's dirty mouth, but she couldn't help asking:
”You seem to know my father.”
”Of course I know that man, in the past his mother asked me to save him from two strong women. What were their names again? … I forget; they are not important anyway.”
”...” Violet started to think about what she heard, she had suspicions that something like that happened to her father in the past. After all, he was very handsome, and that powerless beauty was just a curse.
”The two women were strong, but I couldn't even enjoy myself for very long... Well, seeing your mother, who was a psycho bitch, bending over to me for my help, was a satisfying thing to see.” She smiled with some amusement.
”I'd like to see that…” Violet flashed a smile.
”...” Kaguya looked, with an expressionless face, at Violet, and she couldn't help but comment:
”Is Lady Violet really Countess Agnes' daughter?”
”Hmm?” Violet looked at Kaguya, ”Yes, I am, but my mom is a very narcissistic woman. I grew up hearing the same words about how she was 'beautiful', how she was 'hot', it was fucking annoying.”
”….” Thinking back to the past, Kaguya nodded in agreement.
”I feel bad for you~” Scathach commented with a small smile on her face; it was obvious she was enjoying herself.
”Humpf,” Violet snorted.
”Victor! What is that!?”
Hearing Pepper's curious scream, the three women look towards Victor, soon they see something that shocks them.
Victor was covered in lightning, his right arm was covered in pure ice, and his left arm was covered in fire.
”Hmm, it worked; I knew something was wrong. Thank you, Lacus,” Victor said, smiling at Lacus.
”...Huh?” Lacus was confused, ”But I didn't teach you anything; I just hit you?”
”I learned a lot by watching the way you use your fog powers,” He explained.
”...” Lacus looked at Victor in shock.
”Interesting...” Scathach suddenly appeared beside Victor and looked him up and down as if sizing him up.
”Did you manage to find your balance?” She spoke as her eyes glowed red.
”Wrong.” Victor shook his head, ”My powers aren't balanced. I'm using 80% of the lightning all over my body and 10% of the fire and ice in my arms.”
”Oh?” Scathach's smile grew a little.
”While I was fighting Lacus, I discovered several things about my own power.” Victor's body suddenly returns to normal, and soon his body starts to catch fire.
”Fire is a very easy power to control, but if I just use fire, I start to feel 'angry', and any little things that happen, I get easily irritated.” Victor was giving a much more intense feeling than usual as he spoke those words.
”This is normal,” Violet said as she walked to Victor's side.
”What do you mean?” Lacus asked curiously.
”The characteristic of my family's power is to amplify anger and any strong emotions the individual is feeling. For example, if I get jealous now, that jealousy of mine will be amplified by my power,” Violet explained.
”Because of that, sometimes, I lose control of my emotions.”
”...Isn't that just an excuse for your twisted personality?” Pepper asked in a cute voice.
”...” Violet looked at Pepper with a neutral face.
”....!” Sensing a bad feeling and fearing for her own safety, Pepper silently hid behind her mother.
Victor flashed a small smile when he saw Violet's interaction with Pepper.
The fire disappears from his body, and soon his body starts to get covered in ice:
”Secondly, Ice is very difficult to control, and if I use it too long, I start to feel a feeling of indifference; I become very listless.” He spoke in a cold, indifferent voice.
”Well, that's the hallmark of my power, though it doesn't affect me that much.” Scathach spoke with a small smile on her face.
Violet rolled her eyes; of course, it doesn't affect you; you're a crazy bitch.
Hearing someone approaching footsteps, the group looked at the individual.
”Welcome back, Lady Sasha,” Kaguya greeted Sasha.
”I'm back,” Sasha was going to say something, but her words caught in her throat when she saw Victor's body become covered in lightning.
”W-What?” She wasn't believing what she was seeing.
”From her reaction, I think she doesn't know about Victor's powers. Does anyone mind letting her know about it?” Lacus asked.
”Pass,” Kaguya said.
”Boring,” Scathach said.
”Laziness~,” Violet said.
”I'm tired,” Lacus said.
”...”
All the women looked at Pepper.
”Fue...?” Pepper looks at the women, then a pout appears on her face, and she says, ”Fine... I will do it.”
Pepper approaches Sasha and starts explaining to her everything that happened.
”Thirdly, Lightning is a very unique power, it greatly increases my speed, and because of that, I can't control it very well, but compared to the other two powers, lightning is more neutral-”
