Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

121 Chapter 121

Acht didn't wait any longer and hid his presence completely, he even stopped his breathing. The last thing he wanted was for her to discover his place.

'How did they even believe that she was under 20 years of age? What a fucking morons!' He thought as he cursed under his breath. He had no idea how he was going to deal with her in case she found him, which was something he wanted to evade.

So, with very light yet quick steps, he walked in another direction while keeping a look for her. Her aura was still far away from him so he was able to take his time and leave the area as fast as possible.

"What are you doing?" A voice spoke next to his ear.

'SHIT!'

He didn't even wait for his mind to process what happened as his body was already on the move. He didn't dare to stay there for even a split of a second longer.

As he channeled his soul force to the maximum, he felt himself speeding up like a storm. His speed was so ridiculous that it could be considered cheating.

This was because of the quality of his soul force that was different from normal humans and also because of his high level. So it was not an exaggeration to say that he was like a flash when he runs.

But, that is compared to normal awakeners. In Lein's case…Well, he was nothing but a slow turtle.

Acht ran like a mad man through the corridors of the maze without stopping for a second. But, the moment he took a turn to the left after a few moments of running, he found Lein there smoking her pipe as if it was nothing.

"Why did you run away?" She asked as she exhaled a cloud of smoke. She seemed to be in a bad mood for some reason.

Acht couldn't believe his eyes. He had run at basically the speed of sound for almost 30 seconds and he still ended up meeting her like it was nothing.

'Is she even human?' He wondered as he tried to find a way out of this huge problem.

"Calm down, speedy boy. I am not here to fucking fight, ok?" She added as she closed up on him with her eyes inspecting all of his body.

"You are quite special, aren't you? Hmm, I can't seem to find the reason why. Anyway, you can fucking run away. I can't care less about small children. But, if you were unlucky enough to meet me again in this maze. You better fucking pray that I will be in a good mood at the time. Piss off!"

After leaving those cold words, she vanished from her place, leaving behind a small cloud of dirt that indicated that she moved physically and didn't teleport.

Acht didn't care about her words since Lein had always been a rough person who only spat out harsh words even when she didn't mean them. Her words now were akin to saying.

'I am not going to kill you so you can go.' Albeit with a harsh tone. It wasn't the best character to have when you want to deal with people but she wasn't someone who liked human interaction so it didn't pose as a problem for her. Being in Nightingale was like being an outcast of society after all.

After making sure she left completely, Acht sighed and walked out of the passage he was in. He was really in a tough spot a moment ago so getting out of it pretty much unscathed was a very good outcome.

'But, what did she mean by 'interesting'? Did she discover something about me?' He pondered over those words and tried to find the meaning behind them.

If what he was assuming was true then he was not as 'Mysterious' as he thought he was since some powerful people could see through him easily. Or maybe it was Lein being sarcastic. He didn't know for now but he kept it in mind.

'The Nightingale had already infiltrated the tournament without anyone knowing. The other members must be in the audience.'

"...Acht…" A meek voice woke him up from his daze and made him look back. There, he found Tania who looked breathless and tired for some reason. Her beautiful face had some shine to it from sweat which accentuated her mesmerizing beauty. Even the way she gasped for air was adorable to no extent.

"Did you come here running?" He asked.

"Mm…"

'She really did find me in this massive place.' He thought with an impressed look.

He assumed that she probably ran around searching for him. But what he didn't know is that she coincidentally was able to reach the center of the maze before everyone and when she didn't find Acht there, she continued running and searching for him without even bothering with the test or being the first winner.

This made many audiences confused and even Nestern was confused. He didn't get what the girl was thinking about at all.

'Are all humans in this garbage yard like her?' He thought to himself with a mocking gaze.

He was barely keeping himself composed when he was surrounded by this number of lowly beings that didn't even fit as slaves for him.

'If father didn't just send me here, I would've not had to deal with this boring sh*t.

He had come here on a mission by his father to find what he assumed was some kind of 'being' that was hidden in this world. He didn't have much information about this being except for its appearance and general location. And, to hide this secret from any other guild in the Middle World, they wrapped it up in a 'Tournament Visit'.

'Why am I the one to go, even one of our soldiers would have dealt with this mission. What a disrespect!' He grumbled quietly.
