"However, leaving this mystery of elves and vampires aside, I have found a way to let you inside. But I am not quite sure how effective it is." Zoravec shook his head and dismissed the previous issue which still needed more depth. Although since he had more things to do first he pushed back the theories he had in mind about them.
"What ways? Does this mean will I be able to go with you to academy too?" The demoness immediately spoke with happiness. Though Zoravec did not wish to take her because she would be no less than a nuisance to him. But due to the nature of work there and the inside information he needed, he had to tag her along.
"Not yet, have some patience. I will take you with me." Zoravec shook his head and smiled as he switched the topic once again. He needed all the three women if he planned to become the strongest of all. No other kind of army would have been a best option except the ones who were bound to him by blood.
"Wouldn't you take me with you too?" This time Hecate questioned, whom they both had forgotten. Upon her intrusion Zoravec recalled that he had to ensure what powers she had gotten. "Of course, you too. But you ladies need to first strengthen yourselves and make sure that nobody comes to know about this age reversal thingy."
"What do you mean? Why do you wanna hide it when you clearly have done it in consciousness?" The demoness remarked making it evident that she was not happy with that and did not like that now she had a potential competition too to deal with. Whereas, Zoravec was totally aware about that and knew that he had to keep both of them intact but away from each other.
Zoravec leaned back in his chair, eyeing Devi with a smirk. And stood up as he grabbed the butter knife on the table "You know," he said, idly twirling it in his hand, "I could do whatever I wish with you. Do you realise that, Devi? And yet you are daringly questioning my decisions."
Devi tensed, feeling her heart rate quicken. She knew what he was talking about - the blood pact they had made which could make her submissive. She had been so grateful to him then, for saving her life and taking her in. But now, as she looked at him across the brightly lit room, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
"What do you mean?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady. "Are you threatening because I have questioned your reckless decisions from the start?" The demoness tried to sound a bit confident while totally ignoring the fact that Zoravec had quite the ability to shut her.
Zoravec chuckled. "Oh, I don't care much about what you think. I am just giving you a reminder that you are bound to me, not the other way around. I could order you to do anything, and you would have to obey."
Devi felt a shiver run down her spine upon the truth which was she could not deny. She had always known that the blood pact came with a price. But she had never fully realized just how much power Zoravec had over her. Since he never mentioned how her and Hecate's bond differed in true sense.
"And what if I don't want to obey?" she asked, her voice low acknowledging that she needed to provoke him in order to know what secret he had learned there at the institute. Because Zoravec would not talk so boldly like that if he had known nothing there about himself.
Zoravec's smile turned cold, he was fully aware what that demoness was doing and even knew how far she could go to ensure that he would spill the beans. "Then I suppose I will have to remind you of your place," he said, standing up from his chair and advancing towards her.
Devi braced herself, steeling her nerves. She knew that she was no match for him in a fight, but she refused to let him see her fear. The demoness was also aware that her charms would not work on him due to the blood bond. "You should visit Kate before going to academy. She needs your help." She deliberately shifted the topic to make Zoravec divert his attention.
"Oh? What help does she require from me now?" He inquired while raising an eyebrow, Zoravec knew she must have undergone some changes too. But since it was Kate who provoked him, he had no intentions of carrying that baggage. "Tell her to handle her things by herself because I am not responsible for her fuck ups."
Zoravec headed towards his room while ignoring both the ladies as he did not intend to waste any more time. He wished to have some rest before leaving for the academy, and he had yet to find out more about his element. Upon reaching his room Zoravec slumped his body in the bed and closed his eyes to open his stats.

"It still does not show anything. Is it a glitch or what? This itch will definitely won't let me sleep." He could not settle the feeling that his element was still not updated. Zoravec had no clue whether the system would even give him anything useful or not.
He thought for a moment before springing up from the bed and running towards the front door. "I have to meet that elven healer right now before he leaves. He must know something from the way he smiled." Zoravec rushed towards the bus stop so he could meet that man.
