Brother and Sister\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bern stood up, his hands clenched, his face flushed with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ethan!\" he shouted in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casts a punch, while I could only stare at him without knowing what to do. I could hit him earlier because he let his guard down since I attacked him suddenly, but if we fight one on one fairly I would lose. He understands how to fight well, whereas me? I only know how to fight from TV or manga and have never learned martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gritted my teeth preparing to take his punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I'm dead meat!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something strange happened, I could see his movements clearly as if he was moving in slow motion. Not wanting to waste the opportunity, I dodged aside at the last moment before his fist landed on my face. He looked surprised, not to think I could avoid his punch. He staggered to the point of falling and turned towards me with an angry face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While I immediately grasped my situation. 'Looks like because I've turned into a demon, my senses are sharper than a normal human.' I returned my gaze to Bern with a determined look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>' Observation.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Observation skill succeeded.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Bern Fullhorn]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Age: 18]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 3 ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Race: Human]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[HP: 70\u002F100]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[MP: 23\u002F23]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I noticed his level is higher than mine but, his HP is much smaller. I clenched my hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I can win this.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threw his kick at me, as before I could see his movements clearly. I did not dodge but brushed off his kick with my hand. When his feet clashed with my hands, I thought it would feel heavy, but it wasn't that bad. It feels similar to returning a volleyball serve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, I swept my kick on his leg and he fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have hit a human for 15 HP.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Yes! I did it!' I shouted happily internally. When he was Celia's boyfriend, he used to mock my thin body, he even often said I was a weak man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got up again and charged on me, trying to crash into me. I turned to avoid him, catching one of his hands and turning it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have hit a human for 5 HP.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tightened my grip. \"Argggg !!\" he screamed in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have hit a human for 8 HP.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his hand was not broken I was sure at least he sprained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go now or I'll call the police!\" I snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave me a displeased look as he struggled several times trying to get away, but I didn't budge and kept holding his hand without any difficulty. As if I was just holding back a sulking child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression turned shocked when he realized the difference in our strength. I released my grip when I was sure he didn't want to continue our fight. He fixed his clothes while looking at me sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk! I'll forgive you today!\" Then he walked out with shuffling steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What an asshole! I'm the one who clearly forgives you. '\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An announcement reappeared before my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Ting!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The enemy has escaped.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations! You have won your first fight!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have gained EXP!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have earned a new title: Newbie Fighter. The first step as a fighter has begun! STR + 1 AGI + 1 WIS + 1.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Huh? I also can get EXP from fighting? '\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, what are you doing?\" Celia's voice returned my attention to her. She stood looking at me with a confused face mixed with shock. I'm not surprised at her reaction, I'm also surprised by myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I approached her \"Celia, are you alright?\" I asked worriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Plak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celia suddenly throws a slap on my cheek. Even though I saw it, I couldn't avoid it since I was shocked. Why did she suddenly slap me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have taken 1 physical damage.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ignored the announcement in front of me and returned my gaze to her with a confused expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Celia?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at me sharply with a displeased expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You ruined my plan.\" Her annoyance sounded clear from her tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked to the table and took her cellphone that was hidden behind the flower vase. She fiddled it for a while, a displeased expression seemed even clearer on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk! This video can't be used,\" she muttered irritably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I approached her in annoyance. I saved her from her jerk ex-boyfriend and she slapped me? I could not accept that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Celia! What exactly happened ?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ignored me while continuing to fiddle around with her cellphone screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I grabbed her hand, stopping her from playing with her cellphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Explain to me!\" I accidentally looked at the cellphone screen and saw the video that was recorded. In the video, Celia was the one who seduced Bern first before Bern finally tried to **** her. \"What does all this mean?\" I said while turning my eyes to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exhaled and looked at me in annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm the one who asked Bern to come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" I wish I heard her wrong. I remember they had a big fight when they broke up three months ago and she just left Bern even though he already pleaded. To be honest, I also disagree with their relationship, since I think Bern treated her badly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I'm the one who asked Bern to come here,\" she said once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bu-but why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He offered me some money if I did that with him. I agreed and asked him to come here. I was going to trap him and use the video to ask for some money, otherwise, I would give it as evidence to the police. But you destroy everything. \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My anger peaked after hearing her explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did you do such a thing ?!\" I snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I have no other choice!\" she screamed. She turned her face away from me, but I could clearly see the sadness in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My exam will be held next week. I won't be able to take it if I don't pay off my tuition fees,\" she said in a calmer tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced down and realized she was trying to hide her trembling hands. I knew she was afraid, I knew her mind was stuck that's why she acted recklessly. Bern is much bigger than her, it's very easy for him to hurt her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unconsciously I hugged her tightly and she was shocked by my sudden movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you so stupid? Didn't I tell you to let me take care of our family's finance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you tried hard. There is no need to force yourself. I think I'd better quit school and start to work,\" she said in a weak voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have already paid your tuition fees and our house bills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She released my arms and looked at me in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're lying, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pulled out some receipt payments from my pocket and placed it on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not lying. I've paid for everything and also transferred your allowance to your account.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took the receipts and examined it, in an instant her face turned brighter. While I took my bag and the groceries that was still left in front of the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did you get this much money?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just got a job and they paid me in advance,\" I lied. I put my groceries on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I bought this to accompany you for study next week. Concentrate on your exam, don't worry about anything else.\" I gave her a soft pat on her head and walked past her to the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother.\" Her voice stopped me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you ...\" she said again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile developed on my lips. \"You are welcome,\" I replied as I moved my feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Note:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DP: Demonic Power is only for demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>MP: Magic Power is for human\u002Fhybrid-beast\u002Felf.\u003C\u002Fp>",1317,"2026-06-05T22:19:02.120Z",1,"novelbin.me","282b33bbec070692c8a05c168e056612e9199acd1d1f43f0753b7ad2dbe983a3","the-incubus-system-chapter-8","the-incubus-system-chapter-6",873,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-incubus-system-cover.jpg"]
