BXBX NOVEL Chapter 138 A Lovers' Quarrel
Outside The Dungeon Gate,
The dean stood in front of the dungeon gate. Looking at the endless energy swirling within the gate, he sighed and spoke,
"To think that it would start evolving at such a time. Hopefully, the students would be able to hold it off until help reaches them,"
"Don't worry Prometheus, the kids won't be in trouble. We will save them before anything dangerous happens. Also, the injured are being teleported back as well," Amanda consoled the dean as she put a hand on his shoulder.
The dean placed his hand on hers' and spoke,
"It's just that I have spent most of my life for the planet and its future. That's why I chose to be the dean, so I could overlook and train the future generation, and seeing the future generation face such hardships, it just breaks my heart,"
"You know, you should be happy that they are facing more hardships than anyone because it will be these hardships that would mould them into the people who will lead humanity into an even greater era. It will help them become the light that would help our planet escape from the shackles of fate," Amanda said, tears welling in her eyes as she imagined a future where there would be no extraterrestrial threats, a future where all types of races would live together.
She thought of a future where humans would coexist with others while the strong would use their powers to help and provide for the weak instead of commanding and oppressing them.
"Hopefully they will come out stronger than ever," The dean muttered as he hoped for everyone to live and be stronger than ever.
"By the way, that kid should also be in there. Shouldn't he?" Amanda asked as she looked at the dean, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as she asked of Ray.
"Yes, he is there and from the footage, I received earlier, he seemed to be doing pretty well," The dean replied as he looked into Amanda's eyes tenderly, caressing her face with his hand, the dean spoke,
"You are looking very beautiful today. Did you get your hair done?"
'Slap! Ahhh!'
A thick hard slap landed on the dean's face as Amanda slapped him violently,
"What did I do wrong?" The dean cried in pain as he held his swollen face.
"Hmph! You know what you did wrong and no touching or sweet talking until you apologize for your mistake," Amanda crossed her arms smugly as she answered his question.
Listening to her, the dean was left confused as he wondered,
"What did I do wrong?" The dean thought about it hard but to no avail. Therefore, he decided to use plan B as he spoke,
"At least tell me what I did wrong. Did I say something to you or did I do something I shouldn't have?", the dean asked as he looked at her and practically begged her to forgive him.
"There you go, doing it once again. Haven't I told you that I won't tell you a thing? Figure it out yourself and until then, don't you dare try to get intimate with me," Amanda's eyes literally spewed fire as she spoke, her anger scaring the dean as he thought,
"Guess I will have to ask Old Demon for help,"
"Hey, Old Demon. A little help here,"
"What is it Prometheus? Don't tell me you messed up again and want my help to fix your relationship with that crazy old woman," The dean's system spoke as he accessed the dean's consciousness and saw through his recent memories.
"To think you would be so dense. No wonder you haven't gotten laid yet. I bet you will stay a virgin for your whole life," The System spoke as it understood the problem by just glancing at the dean's memories.
"Hey! Stop that, no looking into my memories," The dean snapped at his system as he restricted his memories.
"Okay, I won't help you then," The System teased and continued, "Also, I know how to calm her down but you know what, I won't tell you how. After all, you don't even let me access a small part of your memories," The demon said, his voice playful as he teased the dean even more.
Listening to his system, the dean's eyes wavered as he saw hope in the demon's words. Hence, controlling himself; the dean spoke,
"Okay, but only if she gets better again," The dean said and released his control over the memories and let the demon access them freely.
"Okay, so she is angry with you over what happened last time. After that kiss, when you declined her advances for the sake of humanity and all that gibberish," Saying that, the demon cut off the connection and dived deep into the dean's memories as it searched for the movies and series that the dean had watched uphill then.
On the other hand, realization hit deep as the dean realized why Amanda acted so cold with him,
"Should have agreed to her that day, but if I had done so while I was still being spied upon, they would have targeted her and made it harder for her," The dean thought as he tried to think of a way to escape his current situation.
As he thought about it, an idea came to his mind as he turned to Amanda and spoke,
"I know what I did wrong. Therefore, to make up for it, why don't we go on a date? That is after this dungeon issue is over," The dean said, putting on his best and most convincing expression as he tried to sway her into accepting his offer to go on a date with him.
"Really?" Amanda asked, her eyes twinkling in anticipation as she felt fuzzy all over while her thoughts were in a mess.
"If you say so. Then, I guess I have no choice but to accept your offer," Amanda said, her expression cold as she tried her best to stay calm and not act like a little girl who just talked to her crush.
"Okay then. Let's try to clear up this issue as fast as possible so we could go on a date at the earliest," The dean said as he took fished his phone out of his pocket and dialed a number.
"I want you all to be in front of the dungeon gate within 15 minutes. Anyone who is missing will be labeled as a traitor and would be executed immediately," The dean spoke and cut the call.
His voice and demeanor different than before as he acted like a king. His aura rose as he showed his authority as a bona fide celestial who had slaughtered thousands on the battlefield.
On the other hand, Amanda looked at the dean as she spoke, "From the start, I have loved this side of yours more than the other. However, I long for your kind and affectionate self,"
Saying this, she leaned forward as she hugged the dean and whispered in his ear,
"Don't you dare forget about our date because If you do so, then I will make sure to skin you alive in front of the whole Academy," Whispering that, she looked into his eyes playfully and kissed him on the cheek.
Doing so, she turned around and left. Leaving behind a surprised dean who wondered how fast her attitude changed.
"I have told you before and I will tell you now too. That woman is a crazy a*s woman who even I don't understand but I know that you won't leave her and fall for her a hundred times over," Old Demon muttered as it looked at the events that just transpired.
"Shut up Demon. She is my woman and after the date, I will take it to the next step. I can't afford to make her wait anymore," The dean said, his eyes resolute as they shone with an unwavering will.
While the dean decided to take the next step, his recent orders had sent the whole academy in shock as every staff member rushed to the dungeon gate in a hurry.
After all, no one wanted to be labeled as traitors of humanity over something as insignificant as getting late.
"Old Demon, what do you think? Will we be able to save them in time?" the dean asked the old demon as he looked into the dungeon.
His vision peered through everything as he saw a Female Goblin sitting on a throne with a staff in her hands.
Sensing the dean's gaze, the female goblin turned her head and looked at the dean as she playfully winked at him and raised her finger, taunting him to come forward and face her.
Seeing her taunt, the dean looked away as he punched the wall besides him in anger, his fist obliterating the whole wall into dust as the dean muttered in anger,
"To think that a lowly beast would taunt me just because they are supported by the laws of the dungeon. Just you wait, I will send you such a gift that even your dungeon would be pulverized into nothing".
