Chapter 92: Training with Anna
[There is no point in taking your anger out on them anymore, host. They are already dead.]
The system said inside his head. Evan glanced below, at his bloodied hand and his clothes that were soaked with their blood, d and their internal organs that were shattered by him many times during this period.
He was surrounded by a pool of blood. But even after all that, his anger still hadn’t cooled down.
He again smashed their head, making their entire body shatter in the process. There was not a thing remaining of them anymore except the pile of their shattered organs.
[You should take a deep breath, host. Calm your anger now. With the way you have killed them, they won’t be able to recover from their mental damage even in their other life.]
Evan listened carefully to the system and took a deep breath. Then, a spark of flame, jet black in color that was emitting dread and the aura of death, appeared on his fingertip.
It was the demonic flames.
The spark fell from his hand and reached the pool of blood and the shattered organs, burning them all in an instant.
The demonic flames covered the entire space inside the capsule and burned everything inside, but no harm came to the floor beneath. The flames even burned the blood stains on Evan.
Just in a matter of seconds, there was no hint of any monstrosity happening here. Evan also appeared clean, with not a single blood stain on his body or his clothes.
The capsule also crumbled down and returned to the system space after all of Evan’s points were spent on its use and the revival of those two before.
Evan stood there motionless for a while, Mizuki also stood behind him, wondering where those two had gone too. She wanted to ask Evan that but didn’t think she should speak right now.
Evan finally moved after a brief while and turned towards Mizuki. He slowly approached her and stood in front of her.
Mizuki’s heart began to beat louder and faster when Evan approached her. She was expecting him to take her in his embrace and comfort her, but that didn’t happen at all.
“You don’t need to worry about those two from now on. They won’t bother you anymore. Think of this as me helping you back. You helped me before and now we are even.”
What she got in return was a cold reply from him, that made her heart ache. It was filled with dread and she couldn’t describe what she was feeling right now as she had never felt anything like this. She didn’t know why he was talking to her like that when he saved her just now.
“W-what are you talking about?”
She asked him with her trembling voice, her whole body was shuddering.
She was feeling the emotions of having her first heartbreak, getting broken up with her lover.
“There was no feeling between us and we even met for a while. There is no relation between us both, so it is meaningless to even dwell on that topic once again.”
“W-what… ho- why?” She couldn’t find a single word to speak with him.
She truly regretted her decision not to accept his proposal before. If she had accepted it before, then she wouldn’t be standing in such a situation now.
“Let’s just forget about it now. Where is Anna, we both planned to train together today.”
Even then diverted his topic to Anna. Mizuki felt a feeling of jealousy when Evan said Anna’s name from his mouth. Even though she was her daughter she felt that way towards her now.
She wasn’t foolish enough to think that Anna would bring anyone home. She must have some feelings for Evan, that’s why she called him into her home, and he was the first guy that Anna called here.
It might not be that they are in a relationship right now, but they will soon be.
‘Forgive me dear, but Mother won’t be giving him up so easily.’
She thought in her mind, that she was planning to take her daughter’s man from her and make him her’s.
She still felt sad for her daughter, but she has no choice right now. She finally found a man that she truly feels for, and she won’t be giving him up so easily-… she won’t be giving him up at all.
“S-she is in the backyard.” She said while still feeling regretful and guilty for what she was about to do now.
‘I am a really bad mother.’
She genuinely felt that after her thoughts of taking Evan from her daughter appeared in her mind.
“Thanks,” Evan said and left without glancing at her.
He was holding back himself from comforting her, he wasn’t planning to be so cold towards her, but to make her realize his worth in her life, he had to do it. Now that she feels that she has lost him, and if she wants him in her life, she will come to him by herself.
Evan’s plan was going as he had expected except for the changes that were happening inside Mizuki because of his actions. Her gentle and caring nature was changing into something else that no one was hoping for.
Mizuki looked at the back of Evan who was going away from her, she clutched tightly to the hem of her kimono and pledged in her heart to make Evan her’s, she wouldn’t back away now even if she had to do anything.
Evan soon reached the backyard, he already knew even before asking Mizuki where Anna was. He went forward and saw Anna there, training even in that heavy rain.
She was wearing a tight black trouser and a white shirt, which after getting soaked in the rain were see-through. Her smooth and fair skin… even without his ability, Evan can imagine what her assets could be inside those clothes.
She was swinging a wooden sword that many commonly used for practice. And she was swinging it precisely like an expert, at least that was what Evan concluded after his observation.
When Anna saw that Evan was approaching her, she stopped her movements pulled back her dummy sword, and said, “You are here earlier than I expected.”
She said, not knowing why he was so early here. She didn’t know what happened just a moment ago inside. The heavy rain was blocking any sound coming from inside so it was natural that she didn’t know what happened inside.
She wasn’t like Evan with a special lineage to have a keen sense of perception than normal.
“Yeah, something happened so I came here as soon as possible. Shall we begin then?”
Evan said, not wanting to tell her what happened inside, it would just make her blood boil and the mood would be ruined.
Anna gave him a smirk and said, “If you are not afraid of rain, then we can start right away.” Not in fear of losing at all. She was sure to overpower him.
Evan also smiled back at her and said, “Afraid? Me? Why don’t we make a bet?”
“Oh, what kind of bet?” Anna asked intriguingly.
“Whoever overpowers the other one wins and the loser has to follow one thing, whatever the winner said and it can be anything. You can’t back away from it. What do you say?”
“You think I will lose? I have been practicing every single day since I awakened. And with my ability, I am guaranteed to win. I accept your bet.” Anna said fully confident in her victory.
‘Even if he has better skills, I can copy it easily and will use it to win against him. I can’t lose at all, after I win, I will ask him to reveal all of his tricks.’
She was already making plans after winning the bet. But will she win it though? Not a chance.
“Good then.” Saying that Evan picked up another wooden sword and pointed its tip towards Anna.
She also did the same to him. The. Evan continued again,
“If it’s really about overpowering, then we should be allowed to use anything, right? Even our mana?”
“Hmm, you seem rather confident in your mana, is your mana pool that big? Sure, you can use it, don’t cry after you lose to me even after using your mana.”
Evan snorted and replied to her, “Hmph, I will show you the power of the Excalibur with me today. Just don’t cry if it hurts you, okay?”
He said and took his stance, they both did at the same time and were ready to launch their attacks at each other.
