Seven Sins System Chapter 53. It Went Viral!

'This is fucking ridiculous!' I grumbled internally. As usual, I was sitting in my chair in the infirmary. Since Theo ruined my shirt, I wore my extra t-shirt. I brought it since I had a training session with my team after their class was over.

My gaze shifted to Theo who was lying on the bed not far from me. Since I didn't bother to dress him, I simply covered his body with a blanket. While his clothes were on the table next to him. I also had returned our HP bracelets to the training room.

As for Julia, she was only able to accompany me briefly before she left since she was a bit busy today. And Katrina? After she congratulated me, she left, as if Theo's safety was my responsibility. It was so irritating.

Ironic indeed, since I was the doctor, even if he was my opponent, I had to bring him here and heal him. This was the first time in my whole life, I had to save my own opponent.

I even had to wait until he got consciousness. I would be the shadow realm's laughing stock if they found out about this.

Worse, I had to see my helpless prey lying in front of me without being able to do anything. I meant, there were only the two of us in this room. I could take him with my Portal skill, throw him at a random monster nest and he would die in his sleep.

Okay, that wasn't fun. After all the trouble, I needed to torture him. Waking him up first before throwing him into the monster's nest and enjoying his scream or his beg for mercy, sounded more fun.

But since everyone already knew I was with him, I couldn't do anything. If he disappeared or something happened to him, the prime suspect would be me.

Since the duel had already spread via the live stream, there was a possibility that the light realm's spy would suspect me if he disappeared without a trace. So I had to handle it with caution. Still, it didn't mean my revenge was over. I would take another chance, once things settled down.

I turned to my desk and decided to do something to distract myself from him. Unfortunately, this time I had to do it normally, using my hands to work.

After one hour of boring work, Barry and Ion entered the room.

"Afternoon, champ!" greeted Barry with his typical cheerful tone.

"You looked awesome, doc!" greeted Ion happily.

"Thanks. Where's Darren?" I asked. They were usually inseparable.

"He is talking with his girlfriend in the cafeteria," answered Barry.

Nonchalantly, they pulled up the chairs and sat down.

"What's with the grim face?" Ion asked curiously.

I pointed at Theo, who was lying on the bed, with my gaze.

Realizing his whereabouts, Barry and Ion quickly covered their mouths with their hands in panic.

"He's not awake yet?" asked Barry in a much lower voice. Confusion was evident on his face.

"I thought with his high endurance, he would wake up faster," added Ion in the same lower voice. His gaze shifted from Theo to me alternately, making sure their voices didn't wake him up.

"It should be," I replied. That was why I didn't use my tentacles to do my job. I bet Theo was faking it or something. Maybe he was ashamed about the fact he lost to me or I was the one who saved him.

"Anyway, why are you here? Our training is still 2 hours away right?" I tried to divert our conversation.

"You know your previous match?" Barry pulled his phone out of his jeans pocket and showed it to me.

"It went viral in a few hours," he added in excitement.

"You should read the comment section," Ion said eagerly, still in a low voice.

I took the phone and read the comment section which was full of pros and cons.

"I bet the paladin only relented."

"Yeahhh! Combat doctor rules! XD"

"A doctor defeated a paladin?! This is the first time in history! "

"Please someone tell me this is scripted. This is scripted, right?"

"OMG! Look at that hot doctor <3<3<3"

"I think I'm sick and I need a doctor. A hot one <3"

"What do you think?" asked Barry, grinning in excitement.

"I don't know what to say about this," I said with a puzzled expression. Or rather I didn't know how I should react since this was the first time I was in the news for this kind of thing. Not because of my political decisions or my family's issues.

Yeah, it was a normal thing, since I was a crown Prince. Reporters and journalists put their eyes on me and every decision I made. Especially after my father went into sexclusion. Due to his absence, I was the owner of the highest authority in the shadow realm.

I was used to seeing my photos on the magazines' front pages, in newspapers, on news websites, and on TV. It was mostly about the royal scandal, my relationship with the other lords, and my decision. Definitely not for a small thing like this.

The shadow realm's journalists did sometimes write about my power or the friendly duel between me and the other lords, but they never discussed my abs or gave escalating comments about my power. I meant... Winning duels was a normal thing for me. It would be a different matter if I lost.

"Are you happy? You have become famous in just a day," said Ion excitedly. His voice was slightly higher than before. But the moment he remembered Theo was still there, he covered his mouth in panic again.

My eyes were still on the phone screen.

"There are pros and cons in the comments section. Also, I don't think they could believe it that easily. So---" I ended by shaking my head side to side and shrugged.
