Max and Asiva walked out of the class having their minds completely blown away, both walking in silence, as they weighed the benefits and costs of walking the path of a perfect warrior.
' Look, it's Asiva the bloodless and the hound! RUN! '
' That's the rabid dog, the bodyguard that Asiva the Bloodless carries around '.
' That's the mad mage, the one who spams fire spells without stopping. Look at his bloodthirsty eyes. He is definitely insane '.
' Mmmm, the hound looks so sexy, I want his baby in my belly '
' Shut-up! You are a guy! Stop talking nonsense '.
The entire corridor gossipped about Max and Asiva as they walked by, the duo had become quite popular inside the university in two short days.
" So, will you follow the path? ". Max asked Asiva
Asiva scratched her neck for a while and then said " Nah, I'm already tier 1, I don't think it's suitable for me.
From what I understand it's harder to continue on tier 2 and tier 3 levels, and we won't be inside the university forever, there won't be training rooms in reality. The method will lose its practicality.
What about you ? "
" I'll probably go for it. It sounds hard, but also exciting. What happens in the future will happen in the future, but at least for now, I want to try to walk the path ". Max replied
Asiva nodded, she respected Max's choice.
The two continued to discuss small nuances when they were interrupted by a group of women.
" Asiva the Bloodless, The hound , I am sherlyn a witch and this is my team of warriors, I come here to recruit you both to join my team, to conquer this uni- "
" Not interested ". Asiva replied coldly as she bumped her shoulder into the woman and continued walking, leaving Max at a loss for words.
" I err , bye ". Max awkwardly stepped across the group and chased after Asiva in fast steps.
He liked the swagger of his teammate, but he also thought that she was too cold to outsiders.
When Max finally caught up, Asiva said " Bunch of tier 0 weaklings, not worth teaming up with ".
Max said nothing and kept walking in silence, as he thought ' But I'm also tier 0 '.
" What do you think of the chocolate boy Max? The one who asked the doubt in the classroom… ". Asiva asked
" I don't know, the guy seemed like a teacher's pet, first bench, asking questions, I don't know, not exactly my type of person ". Max replied, he did not have a very strong impression of the kid, he did not like him, he did not dislike him, there was no particular emotion
" He is special, keep an eye out for him ". Asiva said as Max was surprised by this answer
" Why is he special? " Max asked curiously
" Because my gut tells me so, and because the inspection spell fails when you try to inspect him ". Asiva replied
Max instantly disliked the guy post this comment by Asiva, who the hell was the damn kid to be classified as special by his friend.
Max vowed to show him his place whenever he got a chance.
Max and Asiva parted ways after that, deciding to meet back at 10:50 pm, as Asiva wanted to check-out the library while Max wanted to explore the campus.
There was still a lot of time before the evening lecture started, and Max was getting swarmed by people with requests to join their team, however, what he did not understand is why they were all calling him names like Hound or rabid dog or mad mage.
He soon got the answer when he saw the number one post on the university forum.
' Mother****** ' Max cursed internally, this incident was bad for his plan of remaining lowkey.
Thankfully he did not use blood manipulation skill or take off his mask until they were all dead, otherwise his identity would have been exposed today.
' Close one ' Drax said, as Max nodded, it was indeed a close call.
Max cringed when he saw saliva dripping from under his mask and heard his own gruff animalistic voice, however just as he was watching this video a paper chit hit his foot.
Max looked around, and saw a cat-beast girl smiling at him, as he bent over and picked up the chit.
The chit read' Why don't you show me your wild moves in the bathroom over a quickie, hottie, umu '.
Max looked at the chit then looked at the cat-beast girl and then felt a boner rising inside his pants.
He was no saint, and with time still left before the next lecture he was undoubtedly not going to say no to a quickie.
Walking up to the girl Max said in his manliest voice " Let's go ".
The cat beast girl yelped in joy, it was a very cute sound that made Max even more aroused as the two went away to a desolate corner in the university to have some personal space to do the deed.
Suddenly the video did not feel all that bad to Max after all, because the right kind of people were seemingly aroused by it.
***********
( Meanwhile Asiva )
Asiva had not gone to the library, she lied to Max about it, because she did not wish to tell him that she was going to meet Severus.
Even if Asiva wanted to go to the Library, she only had 30 merit points which were not enough to enter, and it was an obvious flaw that Max missed to pick on.
Asiva found Severus sweeping the floors as he smiled while doing his job.
" You look stupid with that smile ". Asiva said
" You look gorgeous with your frown " Severus replied
" Tch, whatever, I'm here for ma- , Ravan, his Satiety falls very fast for some reason, I'm worried ". Asiva said
Severus looked up from the floor and gave Asiva a surprised look as he said " My my, young love "
Asiva's face instantly reddened as she said " No, you idiot, take this seriously".
Severus nodded as he said " Well, I'll increase his blood supplies, continue to monitor him, you make sure he drinks a bag of blood every morning and we should be good for now ".
Asiva said " You already know about today morning, don't you? "
Severus smiled " Oh I was sitting there on a tree branch, watching you two fight, eating an apple ".
Asiva pointed both her middle fingers at Severus and stormed off.
The ability that Severus had in pissing her off was unparalleled.
