Chapter 103
Rise of the Crusader
103 Hang out
A few days had passed since team seven worked with the banditâs division, and team six infiltrated Potterâs consortium law firm.
The two teams had reported as well as submitted the items that were gotten to the council, and after the rewards were collected, they went their separate ways.
Inside a room in the male dormitory, eight people were in the living room, with each one of them having a different expression and look on their faces.
âThe hellfire domain training was better than I expected. I thought we wouldnât even stand a chance against that beast, but who knew it would be that easy.â Bane blurted.
When the remaining seven in the living room heard Bane, they stared at him, and a couple of them shook their heads.
âIt was too easy, in fact,â Bane ate the food from the plate he was holding on to as he spoke.
âOf course, youâre going to say that, you didnât do anything after all,â Becky exclaimed with a sneer on her face.
Bane raised an eyebrow, he wanted to speak when he was interrupted by Becky. âYou didnât contribute a single thing to the battle and even the task you were to handle, you fled when the dragon was coming after you.â
âOh, so, I should stay and get cooked by the dragon.â Bane sneered.
.....
After the seven teams in the division returned from their mission, they all headed to the training ground the following day. And along with the three instructors, the doors of the hellfire domain were opened to them.
The last time the teams were in the domain, they had fought against several golems, from one-headed to three-headed. But, this time around they didnât go against golems instead, it was a huge dragon that they were up against.
And just like the golems that were created from the flames in the domain, the dragon was also made from these bizarre flames. However, the power that was possessed by the dragon was something that the golems couldnât compare it.
Even the three-headed golem certainly wasnât a match for the dragon.
âThere was a plan made to deal with the dragon, you just had to play your own part in it, which you didnât. And instead, you ran like a bitch, so much for the mighty Bane of exodus.â Becky ridiculed Bane as she recalled how he had reacted against the dragon.
âThe truth is I wanted to avoid taking all glory away because if I were to make a move on the dragon itâs over. The rest of you wonât have gotten the chance to show your skills.â Bane stated.
And as he saw the look he received from everyone in the living room, he nodded his head several times. âI know, I know, Iâm a very humble and selfless person.â He said.
âHaha hahaha!!â Becky burst into laughter a second after Bane spoke. âI always knew you were hit in the head as a child, I just didnât think it was that deep,â Becky exclaimed.
Baneâs eyes twitched, and his lips curl inward as he stared at Becky, who was still laughing.
âWhat are you laughing at? All you did was create a paper dragon, and a water spray gun.â Bane paused, âPerhaps I was hit in the head, you were slammed on the ground when you were little.â
âWhat in the devilâs name were you thinking! A paper dragon and water spray gun, you can do better than that.â Bane shook his head, seemingly disappointed.
Meanwhile, Beckyâs hands were already clenched into a tight fist, she glared at Bane almost as though she were going to shred him apart at any given time.
âI was under a lot of pressure from the dragon, I just created anything that came to me,â Becky stated as she stared at the people in the room. Her gaze soon moved to Bane and she said.
âAt least I didnât run away, I was brave enough to make a move, unlike you.â
When Bane heard Becky, he chuckled, âWell, you made a dumb move back there. Your attack was akin to throwing an egg at a rock, and then you come crying out, at least I made a move.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat a dumbass.â Bane blurted.
âY-You... Son of a bitch!â Becky spoke, and she was about to launch at Bane when Melinda held her back.
Becky glared at Melinda, who also had a light frown on her face. She was about to speak when Melinda waved her hand and said.
âWhat is wrong with the both of you?â
âShe started it.â
âHe started it.â
A second after Melinda spoke, and Becky and Baneâs voices rang out. The both of them were staring at one another with a rather complicated expression on their face.
âWell, itâs okay. We defeated the dragon, end of discussion.â Melinda said. âNow, letâs talk about the new couples among us.â
When Melinda spoke, her gaze was already on the duo that was seating close to one another. They were none other than Raphael and Elisa.
Raphael was wearing a white shirt and black pants, and Elisa was wearing a deep blue sweater and blue jeans. And when Elisa heard Melinda, she raised her head and flashed a light smile at Melinda.
âYou know, Iâm certainly impressed. The both of you have been together for a while now, and it seemed to be going quite well.â Melinda said with a smile on her face.
When the conversation switched to Raphael and Elisa, everyone in the room had their eyes fixed on both of them.
At first, none of them believed that Raphael and Elisa were together, but when they saw the frequent visits, the discussions, and sometimes goodbye kisses and pecks they began to accept it gradually.
Becky, who was furious a moment ago now had a smile on her face. Both of them were initially scared because of what Raphael said a few days ago, but seeing how he treated their friend, the worries they had lessened.
âWho could have imagined that the both of you will be in a relationship, and the first among all of us,â Melinda said.
Raphael had only spoken a few words since he joined them in the living room. His attention was mostly on the meal in front of him and the television screen.
However, when he heard Melinda, he couldnât help but turn toward her.
Melinda noticed Raphael staring at her, and she said, âI bet you didnât see it coming. I always thought the first will be Ethan or Edward.â
âThose two, that isnât possible,â Bane responded.
âI know what everyone is really thinking.â Bane paused, âYou were expecting yours truly to be the first to be in a relationship, but Iâm sorry to disappoint you all.â
âIâm not a relationship kind of person, I...â Before Bane would complete his words, Beckyâs voice rang out.
âNo one actually wants you, so shut the hell up,â Becky said.
Bane hadnât been expecting any of those words from Becky. He stared at her, evidently shocked, but Bane wouldnât be Bane if he wasnât able to deliver a comeback.
âBecky, please speak for yourself. We both know youâre the one with no suitor or male companion out there. For me, it wouldnât take more than a clap, and Iâm already in a relationship.â
âI wonât spare you!!â
This time around, Becky launched herself at Bane, and no one in the living room stopped her from going after him.
