“By the way, I want to make you a great offer,” Camila suddenly commented, ignoring the fact that they had been talking about guns.
“I want you to join the Student Council,” she declared, catching Theos off guard.
Never in a million years would he have imagined that this ‘great offer’ would be this, something he would consider a curse…
‘Student Council… She had invited Alan to join when she saw his abilities, but that happened much later, halfway through the first year,’ Theos recalled.
But why did she want to recruit students to the Student Council? Simple… She’s on the Student Council, she’s the President.
‘She was desperate to find a successor, so seeing Alan’s talent, she recruits him for the student council and Alan, as a good dog licker who won’t turn down any beautiful woman, accepted without hesitation to be closer to Camilla.’
Remembering this whole plot, Theos just rolled his eyes. Thanks to this, Alan had more chances to save Camila, making her fall in love with him, even though his character himself is very hard to fall in love with.
Remembering and thinking all this through, Theos already had a solid answer.
“No,” he replied dryly.
This very dry and cold answer took Camila by surprise, who did not expect such a short and cold answer.
The message was clear, she didn’t want to discuss this “offer” anymore.
He didn’t want to join the student council because he didn’t want to be too intertwined with the academy, after all, the academy was just to get more Negative Mana and protect his beloved girlfriends.
‘Though I feel like they can take care of themselves now,’ Theos thought with a smile in his heart.
‘What do you want? I can give you anything to get you into the Student Council,” Camilla offered.
“Oh, anything?” asked Theos with curious eyes.
It was more than clear that she wasn’t going to give up easily, so he’d make her give up.
Theos’ eyes moved down Camila’s body. His eyes alone made Camila feel as if they were looking at her naked as if they wanted to eat her alive.
She blushed visibly, both in anger and embarrassment.
“You… No, I won’t give up that easily,” she warned.
Theos’ eyebrows rose curiously. Did she know he was doing this on purpose to make her go away?
He didn’t know if it was that she was a genius or had simply behaved like a true gentleman and an honorable man.
Theos’ eyes stopped on Camilla’s face, staring into her pair of eyes.
The smile on his face disappeared, replaced with a serious expression. “Well, what can you give me in return?” he asked, this time, making clear his intentions to bargain.
With her face still a little flushed, Camila smiled slightly with joy, creating a wonderful and charming sight.
“I can give you the position of a Vice President, plus, when I leave the academy, you will be the next president of the student council. And if you still want something, I can give you anything,” Camilla proposed.
Theos thought deeply when he heard Camila’s proposal. It’s a good offer, however, he still didn’t want to be too intertwined with the academy.
Seeing that Theos was still hesitating, Camila came up with an idea.
“How about we do something?” she asked, catching Theos’ attention.
“What thing?”
‘A challenge?’, thought Theos, sensing that this would be… Interesting.
He knew that Camilla had said this to fight him. She was hiding it well, but she’s a battle fanatic and likes to measure her powers against those she considers powerful and worthy.
In this case, she wanted to fight him, Theos, not only because of the power he showed but because of the curiosity she had.
Camila waited patiently for Theos’ answer.
He sighed. “Fine, I accept, but it will be an official battle of the academy, so everyone can be present for our agreement.”
Theos’s affirmative answer to her question made Camila smile.
Why did Theos accept? It’s just as simple… He would never run away from a challenge! Anything but a coward.
Theos nodded. “Good, by the way, we still need to talk more about our weapons…”, he commented.
Camila nodded, agreeing.
Finally, they decided to talk about the topic of fusing their weapons later, specifically, after the duel.
Theos had to go greet Alice and tell her about his “adventures” in the dragon kingdom, and he should also go see Luna to find out what she wanted to tell him then.
After all, he wanted to meet his in-laws.
That decided, he said goodbye to Camila, leaving the Third Year Personalized Training Room.
‘Quite a short name, no doubt,’ Theos joked.
In the background, Camila froze in total silence. ‘Theos Von Fallen… Eh…’, Camila repeated the name Theos’ name in her mind.
In truth, she had lied about only one thing…
The sword made a buzzing sound in response, illuminating the entire room with its light.
“I’m glad you like it,” she said still with a smile.
Indeed, the instant she grabbed the newly fused sword, it sent a beam of light to Camilla’s forehead, just as it did to Theos.
But the two saw two different things.
Very different…
