Seven Sins System Chapter 76.Should Answer The Mortal's Summon Again?

After I went to bathe and put on my work clothes, I went to the academy.

As I predicted, rather than Katrina, it was Theo who was waiting for me in front of the infirmary. He was leaning his back against the wall on the side of the door and folded his arms in front of his chest.

His short sleeves slim-fit shirt made his muscles clearly visible, especially his arms. His gaze which looked cold completed his dashing appearance. I bet no one would believe me if I said he was crying in my closet last night.

I tried to hold my cringe desperately without stopping my steps.

'Why's he trying to act cool when he just wants to take his phone back?' I thought. I was sure that was the reason why he waited for me. He assumed that he left his phone in my closet. I also guessed he would say a thing or two about the prodigy paladin, Miss Aria.

"Morning, Theo," I greeted him with an innocent smile without stopping my steps, passing him to the door by his side.

But he quickly shifted his body to the side, blocking me.

He looked at me coldly and opened his palm with a displeased expression.

"Give my phone back," he said without further ado.

"Oh, I thought you came for your medical check-up. I mean, I gave you a hard blow last night." It was a clear mockery even though I said it in a calm tone.

But he responded to me by repeating his words.

"Give my phone back," he said in a firm tone.

'Ah… This isn't interesting…' I thought. Judging from his personality, I thought he would be angry or something, but I was wrong. His response was too flat. Well, he just took a big hit yesterday. Twice. The duel and what he saw in my room should have broken him internally somehow.

"Okay. Wait a sec," I opened my bag and took his phone from it.

Without a word, he snatched it from my hand and quickly checked it. His eyes were fixed on the screen and his index finger was busy swiping to the left and right.

I checked his phone last night and made sure he didn't have any videos or anything on his phone. But I didn't erase his personal files.

After a few seconds of silence, I finally decided to open my voice.

"A thank you will be nice ya know," I reminded him.

But he completely ignored me.

"Or maybe you can shift a little bit so I can go to my workplace," I added.

Still, he didn't answer.

Annoyed, I decided to get rid of him by force, but suddenly he put his phone in his pocket and turned to me.

"I'd be careful if I were you," he warned.

"Because of Miss Aria?" I guessed.

A triumphant smirk appeared on his lips.

"Oh, you've heard about it. Is it from Miss Katrina?" he asked curiously.

"I overheard it from other students," I said in a casual tone.

He nodded repeatedly in satisfaction. "I see… So even the students already know it. Well---" He shrugged.

"That's paladins for you. We have a solid community and will not let anyone trample on our honor," he added.

"We don't know why Miss Aria wants to come here. So I think we should stop taking unilateral conclusions," I replied. Upon his annoying attitude, I wondered if I had to break his mind again.

"I've met Miss Katrina earlier and she has confirmed that Miss Aria has applied for her transfer to this academy." His triumphant smirk turned into an annoying one.

"About her reason, we will find out later. For sure according to Miss Katrina, she came after seeing our duel and was interested in you," he explained.

That was definitely not good news. But getting rid of a mortal was no big deal for me and this statement came from Theo, so it could be a bluff.

"Do you mean she fell in love with me after she watched the duel?" I joked. An annoying smile on my lips.

He scoffed.

"Very funny. You can joke and laugh while you can. But you already know what I mean." A trace of displeasure was evident in his tone. Then after glaring at me, he left.

I approached the door and unlocked it.

'Aria, huh? I wonder if I can find her information on the internet,' I thought. I turned on the light, locked the door again, and moved towards my chair. Who knew I could find her weakness?

I put my bag on my desk and sat on my chair. My tentacles burst out of my back and started checking medical supplies like what I usually did every morning.

As they worked in silence, I folded my arms and legs, and also bent my head a bit. My mind was deep in thought. But instead of thinking about Theo or Aria, I thought about what I should do next.

I knew my father was investigating the summoning formations. But I couldn't just sit around and wait for the result. On the other hand, I didn't know what to do or how I could find other clues. I couldn't deny that I got the current clues based on luck. And I couldn't depend on it forever.

I lifted my head and looked at my tentacles who were busy counting the medicine bottles carefully.

'Maybe I should answer the mortal's summon again...' I thought. It had been a long time since I took it. I was too busy after my father threw his workload at me. If I had a break, I chose to spend my time with other lords of sins. Either to catch up or hang out. I did it mostly to maintain my sanity.

I never thought of accepting the mortal's request again, even after I arrived in this world. But since it was related to light and dark summoning formations, I might get a hint from the mortals. Or even catch the culprit.
