Chapter 111 Wild Imagination
"This academy needs to establish rules that prevent unwanted disturbance this late," Nix spoke, his eyes glowed in irritation at her persistence.
Fae froze, unsure of what he might do, her magic deactivating.
He momentarily looked behind him and into his room, his telekinetic field surrounding Lumina as she slept peacefully.
He couldn't allow any form of interaction. "She's asleep."
"If I could just make my presence known well, and she knows why I'm here I'm sure she'd be glad I woke her up." Fae insisted, hesitant on moving closer to Nix.
'What part of she's sleeping do you not understand?!' Nix pinched the bridge of his nose, shaking his head at her defiance.
"Leave!" He hissed.
'I won't concede to being trampled on.' She ducked under his hand, dashing in swiftly.
"What the heck?!" Nix exclaimed, immediately deactivating his passive gift as fast as he could, his eyes in horror at the thought that she might have gotten a glimpse of his second ability.
"Lumina?" Fae kneeled by the bedside, shaking her body a bit, worried that she wasn't responding to her call, she turned her attention to the one culprit behind her.
"What did you do to her?" She hissed, her hair flying wildly around her as her body was covered with a faint white aura.
Nix paused in his advancement. He bit down on his lip to stifle a laugh at her attempt to get serious with him before knowing the whole truth.
"Do to her... now that's just pushing the statement to a high and sick degree." He narrowed his eyes at Fae in displeasure.
There are things he might do later in the future that might go against his conscience, but never would he assault women in whatever way Fae thought of him at that moment.
When he slammed the door of the bathroom, he had heard her move about a bit in the room.
Curious, he had peeked into the room only to find her lying limp on the bed. It was the same moment he had heard the very knock which had brought nothing but trouble in the form of a blondie.
With curiosity he watched her take things a bit more personal than they should. He owed no explanation, nor did it interest him.
'To what extent is your level of damage, as a high rank magic user?' Nix wondered, feeling nothing but pity for her if she were to engage him.
"If I were you, I would verify my sources before acting on them." Nix pointed towards Lumina, who was slowly waking up.
In his thoughts, he wished to see how far Fae could go when she had wanted to challenge him.
"W... what happened?" Lumina said with a groan, looking around until her eyes fixated on Fae.
Fae had immediately deactivated her powers, her hand holding onto Lumina's. "You're awake! I'm glad." She pulled her in a hug.
"Easy on the hold," Lumina said with a strained laugh.
Sitting up on the bed, she scratched her eyes then let out a yawn and choked the moment she saw Nix only in a towel.
"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Lumina whispered to Fae with the corner of her lips. Her eyes never left where Nix stood, his arms folded over his bare chest.
Fae nodded her head not bothering to comment on his appearance, she had just disgraced herself in front of him. There was no way to save her face if she were to speak to him.
Fae merely nodded and covered Lumina's mouth from spilling any more questions that could leave an awkward tension in the air.
Nix had a stern raise of his left brow at what they could be talking about that could make Fae react with a blush on her cheeks and have her hand over Lumina's mouth.
"Whatever it is that you two want to discuss that's so important that she had to barge in uninvited, I'm not interested." He rolled his eyes, walking towards the closet.
Their eyes had followed his every step closely. Not until he had his hand on the handle and opened it to bring out the cloth that he had thought of. His back towards them.
Their eyes widened in horror the moment he let down his towel slowly. Immediately acting on reflex, their eyes closed shut.
Nix looked over his shoulder with a smirk. Looking down at his body, underneath the towel was black underwear. Thinking about what he had done to trick them, he held in a laugh at their closed eyes.
'There goes their wild imagination.' He shook his head and pulled out a new pair of clothes.
Slipping on his over a loose long sleeve cotton linen top, black cargo joggers. He pushed up his sleeves to his elbows.
Throwing his towel on Lumina, he had a smirk on his lips as he spoke, "you can have that."
Lumina's eyes went open in anger at the strike she had just received to her head. "Hey!" She protested.
Fae burst out into laughter at what she had just witnessed, pointing a finger at Lumina to mock her for what she had to suffer.
"You two have half an hour, anything more than that, and I'm kicking her out. I need some shut-eye eventually." He narrowed his eyes at them.
Slam!
Lumina and Fae jumped at his action which had reverberated on the windows.
"What sort of brute strength was that?" Fae questioned in confusion. The door wasn't wood but metal, the purest and reinforced with sculptor's magic.
"You wouldn't believe it." Lumina shook her head, letting out a sigh. As much as she wanted to discuss more what she had known about Nix, she didn't need him on her throat if he were to find out.
Treading carefully was her motto for the moment, there was no way she would act without a reason no matter the pressure from anyone– not even Mr. Zhao.
"Lumina, we have a problem on our hands." Fae facepalmed, remembering the condition she had left Gia in. "It's inevitable."
