All Bark No bite\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo stood with his back leaning to the side of the entrance. His hands were folded in front of his chest and his eyes were fixed on the entrance. I was not sure Julia would notice his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of getting angry or annoyed, I slowed down my steps and walked to him with a devilish smirk on my face. I was surprised, after all the shame, he didn't give up. So I was wondering if he was a masochist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Maybe, that's why he's after Julia. He thinks Julia can do this and that with her whip on him,' I thought. My chuckles almost escaped upon that thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Waiting for Julia again, huh?\" I guessed in a mocking tone and stood by his side, leaning my back on the wall. He didn't bat an eye upon my arrival and decided to ignore me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought the duel has settled everything between us and Julia,\" I reminded that shameless lizardman in a casual tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a public place, Allen,\" he reminded me before he glanced at me in displeasure. \"For Julia or not, I don't have any obligation to tell you. I have my own reasons why I'm here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded repeatedly. \"You're right. I can't stop you. It's just that I have to remind you, that you shouldn't bother Julia again. Isn't that why you challenged me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As I said, I have my own reasons. I didn't come for her,\" he reasoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, so you are dating another mentor now. Congratulations,\" I said cheerfully. Still, the trace of a mocking tone was clear in my voice. I decided to follow his game. I was sure he was not waiting for Rachel since the student had a separate dorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head and frowned at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not. You just want to pissed me off, don't you?\" he said displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shouldn't that be for you?\" I returned his words and smiled innocently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a second later, my smile faded. \"You are literally stalking her. Stop being a simp, Theo. And get someone who likes you.\" The tone of my voice turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gritted his teeth and glared at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't get too cocky just because you have won one duel,\" he warned me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I held my laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft! You still think that I won because I got lucky, right?\" I made a bullseye guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't mind that. But I'm sure, deep inside you, you already know that it's not luck,\" I continued after my laughter faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He distanced his back away from the wall and turned his body at me as he lowered his hands and clenched them into fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be hiding something. From our level, it's clear you're below me and you're a support class, how could you hit me like a DPS? I'm sure you've used nasty tricks to beat me, haven't you?!\" he started raising his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, I only used a bit of my strength. Around the same power as a mortal with my current level. Well, maybe a little more, but a Combat Doctor had a support skill to increase his attack. So I could use that excuse. But my key to victory was because I aimed at his weak points. It was my battle experience that made me win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Katrina also seemed to be aware of my strategy. That was why she didn't say anything. But I didn't want to tell him anything and make him suffer because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon his statement I realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Ah, that's why he sent Rachel to spy on me,' I thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shrugged nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe something called skills and experience?\" I smirked annoyingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snorted arrogantly in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Skills? Experience? Oh, c'mon did you think I'd buy that? Don't make me laugh,\" he sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, believe it or not. It's up to you,\" I said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julia's voice that came from behind him interrupted our conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing here?\" she said in displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple natural color blouse with jeans covering her body. A white purse in her hand. It matched my casual style outfit. A simple collared shirt, cardigan, and jeans. It was Julia who suggested this outfit to make sure we didn't end up like yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of answering, Theo just stared at Julia with a red face. I bet he was blown away by her appearance. So I decided to break up his daydream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took off my cardigan and placed it on her shoulders affectionately. Then with both my hands, I squeezed her shoulders gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held one of my hands in reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were only talking about our duel,\" I said. That gesture was enough to tell him that she was mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at me before she returned her gaze to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why here? Why didn't you talk elsewhere?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I returned my gaze at him and gave him an annoying smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, he doesn't want me to be late for our dinner,\" I told an obvious lie for fun. It was a clear sarcasm for Theo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In displeasure, Theo pointed his index finger at my face and gritted his teeth again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next time... I will crush you next time,\" he threatened before he turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take a rest, Theo. Don't push yourself,\" I half shouted cheerfully. Yeah, that was another mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm surprised you have that much patience,\" said Julia out of the blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I showed her my frown and dry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh please. That's an insult. You shouldn't say that to me. I'm just waiting for the right time to get rid of him. Besides---\" I returned my gaze to him, staring at his back which was getting further away. \"I want him to suffer more,\" I continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long exhale came out of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's so typical of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough. I'm the devil so no more complaints.\" I decided to end it and held out my hand to her. \"Shall we go now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded and took my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Author note:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to support me and read advanced chapters (currently up to 20) Visit My Pat*reon-page: \u002Fnanakawaichan (erase the*)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Join my discord server https:\u002F\u002Fdiscord.gg\u002FdWeZYYv for more images.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like it?
