No More Pain For This Villain.

Chapter 28 27

Mary Kleine's POV 

A few minutes ago,

"Mnhh, it looks like I fell asleep in the dojo again." I rubbed my eyes, and right now I am laying on the mat of the dojo with a wooden sword as a pillow.

For the past few days I've been training a little harder, and it's taking a toll on my body so much that after practising I can't even move a single muscle, let alone walk.

So I just sleep in the dojo to save energy and time.

Sniff sniff

"Haa, I stink." I sniffed myself. Last night, after completing the training, I fell asleep without even taking a bath. I was covered in sweat, and now I smell awful.

Rustle

I stood up on the spot and straightened my posture.

"I should get a bath now." Thinking about these, I made my way out of the dojo. There's no one in the corridor or kitchen; usually mom is there preparing breakfast or something, but not now.

"Maybe she's upstairs." I made my way upstairs towards my room; mom's room is exactly opposite mine.

Step step

Chatter chatter

[How is it?]

[Why is this fire so violent?.....]

"What's that?" With every step I took towards my mother's room, I heard some faint voices, 

Peek

"Huh?!!!" But what I saw inside was something that left me speechless. Right now, inside the room, Ren was sitting in a chair while Mom was interrogating him like some criminal,

I heard everything they said—even the part where Ren confessed how he isn't over the fact that we broke up. That made me oddly satisfied.

[Ruu, make sure you meditate to calm your mind a little.] Mom said,she looked pretty concerned about something that wasn't her job,

' irritating.' I thought,

Tap tap

Ren was about to leave, and that brought me out of my stupid thoughts,

'I have to hide.' I thought, if he saw me right now then it's no good.

Fush

I pushed mana into my legs to strengthen them and jumped high enough to reach the ceiling. Gripping on the lamp, I balanced myself like a spider up there.

Step step

Ren came out of the room,

"Huh," and for some reason he stopped right at the place where I was a moment ago. He looked around like he was confirming my presence. My heart was beating fast with each passing second.

To my good luck, he never looked upwards. "Maybe I am just imagining things." Ren said to himself as he descended downstairs. After he was out of sight, I also jumped down to my former spot, and then I entered my room,

Inside the room,

"Whoa!!That was close,I was flabbergasted,"Just a moment ago, I thought Ren was going to notice me. ,

"His reflexes are sharp; I never thought he'd sense me the moment he got out of the room." I said to no one in particular,

"Why was he here in the first place?" I asked myself,

It's been bugging me for some days?"

After Ren announced the annulment of our engagement, he never once showed his face to me, making me a little nervous about his behaviour. for a split second thought that he might've been serious about this, but after hearing him talk to my mother, one thing was for sure:

"He can't stop loving me." When Ren said that he didn't want to accept it, it made me more confident about the fact that he wouldn't leave me alone, so I can focus on my training and be a worthy rival,

"Just you wait for me Adam Stales,"

...

After those strange giggles were heard from Mary's room for the whole day,

Ren Hilton's POV

"Let's go," I said to Blaze as I left my house. Marylin asked me to come a little early from our daily appointment time for some reason.

"She said that today is an important day or something along those lines." Blaze reminded me of Marylin's words; he is hovering around me, and I think it's fine since there are no people around to see him this early morning.

Sigh

A lot of things happened yesterday, including Marylin's outburst about my spell's nature. I somehow managed to get myself out of it by lying, but I am still not sure that it'll go as smoothly as planned.

After coming back, I practised my spells a little and was surprised by how quickly I got the hang of it.

"Only a few spells like fireball, body strengthening, and inferno bolt were the only ones that I was able to pull off successfully. I have to train hard." I said as I kept walking ahead, "I am sure that the more I put in the effort, the more it'll bring good results."

Thinking about this, I chatted with Blaze as I kept walking in the direction of my former fiance's house.

"It looks like we are here." Blaze said as he quickly shot inside my chest, vanishing from my sight and settling near my mana core.

As I neared the distance between the house and me, I pressed the doorbell.

Ding dong

"Coming," said the voice from inside,

After a few seconds the door opened and Marylin stood in front of me. She was looking gorgeous as usual, but right now for some reason she is wearing a light leather armour that covers her torso and some joints. Her hair was tied in a tight bun with some strands brushing across her cheeks.

"What's the armour for?" I asked if she's going hunting, in which case her attire would explain everything, but I don't think that's the case.

"We are going for some practical training, remember what I said yesterday?" Marylin said as she stepped outside the threshold and closed the door behind her that, according to her, today is a "big day." She meant some practical training.

"Well then, where are we going to practise? Don't tell me you want me to use my fire spell in your backyard; that'll surely cause some trouble." I said, I am still not sure if I'd be fully able to control my power.

"Ah no, I have a great place in my mind, so don't worry and make sure you sit tight." Marylin said as she rubbed the spatial ring on her index finger,

"Sit tight?" What does she mean by that? ain't we supposed to walk?

Poof

Suddenly, a long brown stick with some long, hard hay on one of the ends popped out of her spatial ring. There were several ruins carved onto the wooden surface of the broom stick and the saddle.

"How's this?" asked Marylin as she grabbed the broomstick in her right hand,

'Hoho, I haven't seen those in a while.' Blaze chimed inside my mind; it seems like the flying broom has piqued his interest.

"Am I supposed to ride that thing?" I asked, and truth be told, I am hesitant to ride something that looks so'Broom-like,' I thought, how's that weak-looking stick supposed to handle our weight,

'What if it breaks in the middle of the sky?'Blaze said inside my mind, he is just increasing more reasons to not ride that thing, and I know that he's teasing me; I can clearly imagine his laughing face.

Nod nod

Marylin nodded to affirm me. She tilted the broom horizontally and sat on the saddle.
