Novel Bin Chapter 409 Reunited (2)
And then, finally, Bella. She was still fighting with Cy any chance she could, but whenever they bumped heads, it seemed it was mostly out of playful cheeriness… while sometimes it was actually out of anger, most of the time, they were good friends.
Her long green hair with streaks of black going through them was exactly like the fire she wielded in battle, wavy and unpredictable. Her dark black eyes resembled the fact that she was the first one out of all of us to be turned into a demon, yet somehow Aisa and I managed to proceed one step ahead of her.
Her long spiring black horns also flew into the sky with an unwavering amount of pride. It was almost exactly like Cy but had a few missing steps that really fit into her character. The spiraling aspect was a bit strange, though if it wasn\'t for that, Cy and she definitely would have looked the same.
"What\'s up," Bella smiled upon feeling my threatening aura almost completely disappear from my body. "Long time no see."
As I dapped her up, I noticed just how calloused her hands had become. Before they were petite, soft, and absent of any signs of hard work, but now that I saw her again… she had definitely put in long hours of hard work to try and reach a higher level.
…
(Aisa POV)
The back of my head itched as I stood amongst my friends, meaning my Master was calling for me to come to her. I had no complaints, but that meant I had to quickly say goodbye to my friends without giving a real explanation as to why I had disappeared so fast. So, I left that in the hands of Orion, who most likely understood the situation.
"Wait!" Bella cried out, grabbing my hand and stopping me from exiting the room. "I-I didn\'t get to talk to you yet…" She stuttered, and as her puppy eyes infiltrated my skull and began to soothe my brain, I couldn\'t help but freeze.
"Then what would you like to talk about?" I gently asked, cupping her hand over the hand which she previously grabbed and pulled her towards me. She smiled with excitement but also a bit of hesitation before…
"I\'m glad I got to see you again… I was so worried…"
As she hugged me tightly, I lightly stroked the top of her head and ran my hand through her hair. She dug her face into my chest and almost seemed like she was about to cry as her hug only got tighter and tighter. Eventually, I could no longer feel my waist from how hard she was squeezing me, so I peeled her off with the help of Cy.
She was so adorable as she cried, clearly wanting to spend more time with me, but I was going to do that later. For now, I had to answer to my Master\'s call… and I guess I should at least tell her that.
"I\'ve acquired a teacher of some sort, and she\'s calling for me right now. I\'ll be back later… okay? So no need to wait for me, and enjoy your time with Orion," I smiled.
Suddenly, she glanced back at Orion and gave him this stank eye which caused him to chuckle ever so lightly. And as his slimy lips opened, I could just tell he was intent on teasing her until the end of the earth.
"And you don\'t want to hug me? I\'m open for hugs," He smiled, those two devilishly evil eyes digging into Bella, who retreated backward.
"N-No… I\'m good."
Tup
All of a sudden, an event that nobody could have ever predicted occurred. Findir, who was standing motionless and just soaking in the kind and beautiful rays of warmth that our reunion formed… then approached Orion and hugged him tightly.
The entire room went silent as Orion slowly wrapped his arms back around the dark elf, who looked so relieved. He doesn\'t show much emotion, especially after coming to hell, but somehow, the long break from Orion was enough to make him clingy.
"Alright, I guess I\'ll be going now," I smiled, and before Bella could reach out for me again, I disappeared in a flash and reappeared in an instant at a room on the opposite side of the estate. It was relatively similar to Orion\'s, so it was a bit disorienting when I found myself in practically the same room, but just with different people… or person to be exact.
"You\'re late."
"My bad…"
My Master let out a long sigh as she continued to brush her long black hair and as the demon god sat up from her bed to meet me eye to eye. Only then did she begin to look up at me while I had to look down to meet her.
"Kneel. I don\'t like how you\'re staring down at me."
"Yes, ma\'am," I sighed before kneeling on the ground while my Master brought over a chair and sat down on it. She frowned as she was then eye to eye with me once again, but instead of doing something about it, she just ignored it and moved on to the meat of the meeting.
"I have called you here to proceed with your first lesson. You better be grateful I\'m teaching you something like this because I have not taught this to anybody before," The woman sighed while leaning forward. She almost seemed reluctant to teach me as she lifted up both of her hands and then sharpened them into two fingers on each side.
"Master, may I ask a question?"
"Hm? What is it?"
"Do you want to teach me? For a while now, you seem to be regretting teaching me… would you rather teach Orion? Have him as your disciple? I wouldn\'t mind… he\'s strong and good at listening while I\'m still struggling to understand your words and teachings… I feel like he\'s a better candidate."
"That\'s true…" my master muttered, causing me to drift my eyes to the ground, but upon clicking her tongue, she pointed her fingers in front of me and then proceeded to lift my eyes up to her own face. "... But I chose you, didn\'t I? If I chose based on initial strength, I wouldn\'t have even bothered considering you or Orion… so be proud you\'re my student. I\'ve just been a bit tired as of lately since regenerating my strength has been taking more and more energy… so please don\'t misunderstand and know that you\'re my student, and I\'m proud to have a student like you."
