Chapter 85 - The Most Mysterious Rookie
Are they fighting with each other? I just saw Heart roll her eyes and left Kelyan stiffened.
Kelyan's eyes were twitching as he felt agitated at the same time. The aura around them changed disturbingly as Heart totally left Kelyan behind.
Heart was going to the fire remains we made, with her feet stomping violently. It made me watch them silently and remain still.
Heart already left Kelyan, but he was still dumbfounded. Is being a coward really that big matter for her? I don't know them, so I guess that's a deal for her.
Kelyan started to show reluctance in his movements. He just watched Heart, leaving him with the other half of the rabbit in his hands.
Oh, dear... This isn't a drama, right?
On the other hand, Heart was observing the remains and followed the footprints which led to the cave. I didn't bother waking up Ellena as I thought she wouldn't mind it.
I'm more interested in the outcome of this play. Heart was just making her eyes in disdain and I felt it was authentic. She was trying to prove something to Kelyan, right?
"What a coward. Does he think that every time he makes a cowardly decision, it will improve his chance of survival? Connections are important and he's just wasting them. We're currently taking a test, so it's not a problem talking with other participants, " she hissed as she finally reached the cave where Ellena was resting.
Going forward, she finally entered the cave, seeing Ellena sleeping with her mask on. Ellena looks calm and tranquil. Her body position was like a kid leaning on a wall, but only her eyes could be seen on Heart's side.
I must say, Ellena really needs a solid whole-face mask. Her facial appearance can be seen if you track the lips and shape of her face.
Heart looked at Ellena with a confused expression. She ventured her eyes to inspect Ellena's demeanor.
"What an oddball. Is it important to hide her face? Or is she just hiding her ugly face?" Heart mumbled while still looking at Ellena.
I feel offended. How dare you insult her like that? Even though she's sleeping, you can't do that to her! I will have you taste my anger, you average female!
I was acting immaturely, but it's a sign that I don't feel heavy about this situation. Can I even do that?
I rushed, dashing in her direction with my head pointing at her face. Then, at a fast speed, I hit her face, making a jabbing sound.
Good for you. I can only show my hatred by punishing you like this. Be thankful that you don't have two balls.
When I hit her, her face crinkled and she simultaneously turned her head to both sides. She turned quickly and even looked at her back.
"What the hell! Who was that?!" she exclaimed as she tried to find where it came from. But he doesn't know that it's me, so it's okay...
I just hate her guts... Tsk. But she's not a bad person.
Because of that loud noise, Ellena's eyes twitched and peeked at the one who made the noise.
"Who..." Ellena mumbled.
Heart's eyes widened for a second and turned into a smile. She raised her hands and waved at Ellena.
"Hi!" she immediately changed her expression.
"You are...?"
Yup! Heart still didn't answer her. And something evil just popped into my mind.
"Ellena, stop here. Her name is Heart and let's try to scare her. Hahaha." I said with a hint of me chuckling.
"Wait... I don't need an answer. Your name is Heart." Ellena immediately jumped into my plan.
I noticed Heart's face started to become surprised.
"How did you know my name? Is it your ability?" she asked in an agitated tone.
Ellena just scoffed and still tried to vibe at my prank. "Of course not. It's just because I have people watching you." Ellena said in a mysterious tone.
Heart's face became slack-jawed. "Y-You have been watching me? Why...? No, don't mind it. I'm going to leave now."
I wonder... Where is the build attitude she had earlier? Was it just for a show? Well, she even doesn't know that someone's watching her.
It was real anyway. What Ellena said was true that she had people watching her. But not totally plural, but only singular and it's me.
Heart turned around and walked quickly in the direction of the exit. But before she could, a voice entered the cave, echoing as it was loud enough to bounce.
"Heart!" Kelyan exclaimed when he saw Heart. But his face turned in the other direction afterward. His face became more stiffened as she slowly pointed at Ellena.
"The Masked Monster!" Kelyan pointed at Ellena with his face shocked. Heart also made a confused face and looked at Ellena once again.
I almost snorted after hearing it. It's still different when people call her in that way in a surprised tone. It's comical!
Ellena silently groaned in cringe. 'That... Why do they need to call me that?' I heard her complain, and accidentally conveyed it through our connection.
She just made a glance at me and returned to both of them. She stood up and patted herself clean.
"So... Who are you two?"
It really doesn't help Ellena's pranking Heart. It was just a selfish request from me, nothing less. I felt like seeing Heart's frightened expression. But it was useless, I didn't get what I want.
"W-We... I am Kelyan. This is Heart. I'm sorry and bye," he quickly said and pulled Heart out of the cave. I also noticed that a point emerged from his head and I immediately grabbed it.
Does this mean that our scheme was working? People are wary and also afraid of her.
"I'll follow them for a moment," I said to Ellena before leaving her after she nodded.
I intently followed both of them. Kelyan was still agitated and he was pulling Heart.
When Heart felt irritated being pulled, she pulled back her arms and stopped.
"What's wrong with you and who is that creep?!" Heart exclaimed.
Kelyan looked at her with his eyes slightly twitching in fear. Although there's no fear point appearing, I can tell that he's still slightly afraid of what just happened.
"That was 'The Masked Monster'. The most mysterious rookie who can finish 5 quests a day!"
"What are you? Her fan? I'm reminding you that you're getting married. If you try to do something funny to my friend, I'm warning you." Heart hissed in fury.
"Of course not. I know everyone in Phlabian who I must be wary of. And she's one of them as her prowess is undeniable and unfathomable. Did you offend her?" he asked afterward with a worried voice.
But Heart didn't answer immediately. Instead, she thought for a second.
"I don't know. But she said that she had people watching me. So I thought she was a creep."
Who's a creep bitch?!
Wait! I should calm myself. I can't afford to hit her right now because she's away from Ellena. It would be useless if I scared her since no points would emerge if she was away from Ellena.
"We're done. I hope it's not true, Heart." Kelyan's knees started to soften.
"Why?! I'm creeped out, Kelyan!"
"Don't be. Be scared instead.. She's called 'The Masked Monster' for a reason."
