Back at the mansion, the air thickened with tension.
Akube: We are so dead bruh
Dranexx: Stay quiet… don't make a sound.
Soral: Oh, I won't!!
Soral was standing behind them coldly
Even Scorpy trembled under her aura.
Soral: Holds on you, jerk! Where were you hiding? And akube where's the money you earned today?!
Akube: Oh crap… I totally forgot the guild and monsters I hunted!
Soral: And who's the new member?
Scorpy: Ah… ma'am, my name's Scorpy. I just joined your party.
Soral: Family, not party. Welcome. Now… dive in the hot tub and relax. The boys and i have some unfinished business.
Akube: We are so screwed.
Dranexx: You don't have to tell me twice.
Soral: Akube! For failing your duties, you're suspended from breakfast and lunch for three months!
Akube: Cruel… please… dinner alone won't cut it!
Dranexx: Seriously? At least you get dinner selfish much?
Akube: Quiet! You caused this!
Dranexx: Huh? Me? Don't push me.
Akube: Oh, you wanna fight?!
Soral: You two, enough! Acting like children.
Dranexx: Because Akube is a child.
Akube: Huh?! You're the one moaning over… haha… you're a kid, Dranexx.
Soral: Last warning. Tease Dranexx again and… anywhere else, not in front of me. Got it?
Akube: Huh… yes, ma'am.
Dranexx: Acting like a kid…
Soral: Enough!
Later, Dranexx collapsed into bed, exhausted. Soral appeared beside him.
Dranexx: Wha… what are you doing here?!
Soral: Just checking on you.
Dranexx: Seriously?!
Soral: You've never touched me… why?
Dranexx: Because you're a Grandmaster, and I'm… human. I worried about consequences.
Soral: Correction: you're no longer human. You're a supreme being now, far beyond ordinary comprehension. I can feel your growth and it makes me stronger too.
Dranexx: Wow… so what did you gain when I evolved?
Soral: Anti-Odein.
Dranexx: Anti-Odein? What's that?
Soral: It nullifies all supernatural abilities within a massive radius 5,000 km. For 15 minutes, no one can use powers, magic, or skills. Reality manipulation collapses, summoned creatures vanish… no one is above it, not even grandmasters.
Dranexx: Fifteen minutes?! 5,000 km?! That's insane!
Soral: Am I amazing or what?
Dranexx: Love…
Soral: Love …?
Dranexx: Okay, fine, I got carried away. But now I can be with you without worry. Hahaha.
Soral: Really?!
Dranexx: Yes. If anyone objects, we'll force them to accept it.
Soral: Then come here.
Dranexx: I will.
Outside, Akube shook his head in disbelief.
Akube: Dranexx… what a jerk. And Soral? She's Terrifying when angry. Wait… is he having an affair with her?! Unbelievable… I better stay focus before I die out there.
He went to claim his rewards at the guild.
Asunal: Welcome back, Mr. Akube!
Akube: How are you doing? Right I came do deliver my job hunt I got 68 chimeras
Asunal: 68 chimeras?! Unreal.
Guildmaster: Akube, looking sharper than ever! Your reward: 3,600 Gold coins.
Akube: Wow… thank you!
Guildmaster: Where's Dranexx? Heard he has a girlfriend now?
Asunal: He what?!
Akube: Soral. Two months with us now.
Asunal: …I've been in love with him since the day he arrived.
Akube: Who knew? Looks like Dranexx is the ladies' man… lucky jerk.
