BXBX NOVEL Chapter 193 The City Under Attack (Part 1)
"Uhm… Ray?" Aella asked as she came out of the washroom and walked towards him.
Ray turned and looked at her as he stood in shock over her beauty. With her midnight black hair having silver streaks all over, her hair waved in the air as she walked. A dazzling spark shone in her emerald green eyes as her eyebrows lightly fluttered.
"You look stunning!" Ray spoke, a bit in shock and in awe of her beauty, "Has she always been this beautiful or is it today?" he thought to himself as he saw her gracefully approach him.
She wore a sleeveless dress with floral patterns all over it. The dress although loose still failed to hide her curves as her beautiful curves expressed themselves in full swing.
"Let's go," She hugged his arm as she leaned herself on his body. Feeling her milky soft skin touching him and looking at her dazzling smile, Ray felt himself losing in her beauty.
"Yes, let's go," Locking their arms around each other, the couple walked out of the dean's office and made their way to their first destination.
While Aella was getting ready, Ray had made a reservation at a good restaurant nearby while he had also rented a car in advance. After all, with her being his first date; he didn't want to take the cab. Instead, he wanted the date to be something she would remember for the rest of her life.
Meanwhile,
In the training room,
The dean lifted Inferno up in his arms and carried him back to the seats where the others sat.
Walking back, he saw the fearful look in Sirius's and the rest's eyes as they seemed to have found the hidden side of the dean.
"I am sorry that you guys had to see this. This is what happens when those in the celestial realm battle. Even though it was a friendly spar, it easily got heated and he was hurt," The dean said and continued, "But don't worry. He is a celestial and although the attack looked to overpower him, I controlled my strength and didn't hurt him much,"
As the dean spoke, Inferno suddenly made a movement as his body caught fire. The fire burned away his wounds as his body got back to normal while all the blood over him also disappeared.
"Nice one Prometheus!" Inferno laughed, as he stood up and stretched his body.
"Blerghhh…" Elina vomited while the others turned their heads away.
"What happened? Why do you all look as if you a fly got into your mouth?" Inferno scratched his head and asked in confusion.
"Inferno! You f*cking moron, cover yourself. You want to be a n*dist or what?" The dean roared as he threw him a coat while silent sword took a photo of the whole scene.
"Okay, Prometheus. Now it's my turn to duel," Silent Sword put his phone away and said.
"Sure, let's duel. Seeing your sword skills, you might get yourself an apprentice or two," The dean replied as he flew back to the grounds while silent sword simply disappeared from his position and appeared there.
"Kids, look closely and take notes. Silent Sword's sword mastery is said to have reached a point where he could materialize his intent in the form of sword aura. So watching him fight might inspire you to do something," Inferno sat besides them and spoke.
"Un.." The others nodded and stared at the two figures standing in the middle of the training grounds.
"Prometheus, you ready?" Silent sword asked as he took a stance and placed his hand on the handle of his sword.
"Let's do this," The dean muttered as he tightened his grip on his scythe. And with that, the two figures disappeared as the battle began.
The sound of air whizzing filled the stadium as countless slashes collided while their figures; who had turned into a stream of light streaked all over the grounds.
"I can barely see anything," Aliya spoke as she rubbed her eyes and squinted to have a clear look at them fighting.
"It's normal you can't see them clearly. You are a healer and have not undergone physical advancements like the others. Instead, your mana capacity and control are higher. Take these, you will be able to have a look at them," Inferno spoke as he handed a pair of oddly shaped goggles to her.
"Okay," Aliya took the goggles and wore them.
"Can you see them now?" Inferno asked.
"Better, but it's in black and white," She spoke.
"Well, they are using infrared sensors to sense their mana signature. Try imbuing some mana into them. You will be able to do more," Inferno answered.
"Un.." Aliya nodded as she supplied a bit of her mana to the goggles. As she did, the goggles glowed slightly while the black and white images she saw changed into colored ones while the resolution also increased.
"Thank you. I can see them much more clearly now," She thanked him and started observing the battle between the dean and silent sword.
Meanwhile,
Outside the Academy,
Ray took Aella to a vintage 1958 Bentley S1. Opening the door, he took her hand and guided her to the seat. Then closing the door, he walked to the driver's seat and sat.
"Ray, when did you plan all this?" She asked in surprise.
"When you were changing. After all, it's our first date and I want it to be a memory that would accompany you for the rest of your life," He answered as he took her hand into his and kissed it.
"I love you!" She said to him as she felt a fuzzy feeling all over her as she was thoroughly impressed by Ray's show of love and affection.
"Love you too," He answered back as he turned the ignition and started the car.
"Vroommm…Vrommm…" Pushing the throttle a bit, Ray put the car in gear and drove out of the Academy gates, and with that; their lovely day started. A day that would stay in both their hearts for the rest of their lives and accompany them through thick and thin.
In a dilapidated street in the main New York City. A beggar staggered inside, with a bottle of beer in his hand; the beggar approached a corner and unzipped his pants.
"Pitter…patter" A long stream fell on the wall as the beggar whistled while relieving himself.
"Swish…Splatt" Suddenly an arc slashed the air as the beggar's head fell to the ground.
"Hmph… To think that I would meet a peasant right after landing," A woman's voice sounded. She flicked her sword and sheathed it as the silhouette merged into the shadows.
As for the headless corpse of the beggar that fell to the ground, it was slowly swallowed up by darkness and nothing remained of it.
On the other hand,
Ray and Aella sat in a restaurant near the street as they enjoyed their date.
"What do you want to eat?" Ray asked.
"Anything you say," Aella smiled and answered.
Listening to her answer, Ray felt a headache coming. However, he smiled and spoke, "You tell. I want to make it memorable for you, so tonight; we do whatever you say," Ray said as he handled the situation neatly.
"Hmmm," She thought hard and then spoke, "How about some wine before deciding on something,"
"Are you sure?" Ray raised an eyebrow as he asked,
"Yeah sure. I am sure we could have some wine," She spoke.
"We surely could," Ray replied as he called the waiter and spoke, "Can I have a bottle of one of the finest wines you have,"
"Okay sir," The waiter replied. Although he was confused by the fact that a teenager was making such a request, he complied as he knew that for the couple to sit at the most VIP tables in the whole restaurant, they had to be some big shot or child of some big shot.
With that, the waiter turned around and brought the wine, uncorked it, and poured it into their glasses.
Ray lifted the glass in his hand as he stirred it slowly. Looking into Aella's eyes, he took a sip as suddenly,
"Banggg!!!" A loud explosion rocked the surroundings.
"What the…" Ray muttered as he placed the wine glass on the table and turned.
"Ray, I sense some hostile presence approaching. Also, they aren't the natives of this world," Aurora warned.
As Ray heard her words, the color of his face drained as he cursed inwardly, "Damn. Now of all times,"
"Aella, really sorry to ruin this special occasion for you but we are under attack," Ray turned and told her as tapped his chest thrice. As he did, his suit changed as it morphed into a battle suit.
"No worries Ray. Let's make it even better by kicking some alien a*s" She spoke as she stood up and took a bow out of her spatial storage and aimed as she inserted some arrows into it.
