"Are you guys done or do you need some more time? To be honest, if you guys are going to be like this, I say you both should get a room", Tim continued to rant in annoyance as he came back after a few minutes.
However, instead of finding Ray and Elina as he assumed them to be, he only found Elina standing there with her hands crossed and her eyes spewing fire.
Looking at her and the anger she displayed from her expression, Tim misunderstood as he spoke to console her,
"Don't worry, it happens. There are far more men in the world than just that guy. I say you should move on with your life and although it would be hard with him being the team leader and all. I am sure you would adjust to it in no time", He spoke and sounded as reassuring and consoling as he could be but that made it far worse as Elina's anger skyrocketed.
"You dumb*ss, you know nothing. How the hell could you go on assuming things that are not even remotely true", Elina shouted in anger as she slowly closed in on Tim.
"What do you mean by that? Don't you like Ray? And that's why you needed that alone time with him. Also, why are you activating those curses?", Tim asked in fear as he saw Elina closing in as if she was the devil itself.
"You don't get anything. Always thinking like that, and no... I don't like Ray or anything of that sort. I just asked him for some assistance in fighting against enemies in melee combat", Elina said with a hoarse voice as she towered above Tim.
Seeing her towering above him and listening to what she said, Tim understood his mistake and apologized,
"Sorry, Elina. I am really sorry for misunderstanding you, please be a good sister and cancel that attack… please!", Tim pleaded and apologized over and over again as he saw the attack coming towards him.
However, Elina didn't stop with her attack and continued,
"No… you deserve this for misunderstanding your sister's intentions and blaming your sister because of your delusions. Let it serve as a lesson for you so that you don't do it again in the future", Elina's voice sounded like the judgment of a grim reaper as her hand touched Tim's forehead.
Just after her hand touched his forehead, archaic runes appeared as they traveled from his forehead to his whole body.
"That's a paralyzing curse. The real fun starts now", Elina said with a smirk as she took out a baseball bat from her spatial ring.
After that, cries reverberated throughout the forest as a man asked his sister to forgive him and let the matter go.
Two Hours Later,
At the central square of the royal capital,
"What's with the cold face? Did something happen?", Ray asked in worry seeing Elina acting cold all over.
"Nothing, just a fool I had to take care of", She said pointing towards Tim who had bandages all over his body. Not to mention his swollen eye and a high bump on his forehead.
Seeing Tim's condition and Elina's cold demeanor, he understood that Tim had been served and that too very hard.
Therefore, Ray saw no reason in asking more and dropped the matter as he diverted the topic by speaking first,
"Okay, so our work here is done. Also, we have been here for 5 days already. It should be time to return to the academy. So why don't we logout and then discuss more on what to do",
"Yeah, you are right. Let's log out and then discuss what to do when we return to the academy", Elina answered supporting Ray's suggestion while Tim merely blinked in agreement.
He was so beaten up that he couldn't even move his neck to nod in agreement. Once again, seeing Tim in such a condition scared Ray of the fierceness women could show when angered.
After that, Ray and the others logged out and went back to the real world.
The Next Day,
"Since our classes would be starting tomorrow, we should regroup and then train for some time", Ray suggested to Tim and Elina as he reached the Academy gates while he took out his phone and called the others on a group call.
"Hi everyone. Are you guys at the Academy yet?", Ray greeted and asked,
"I am at the academy. I didn't leave in the first place", Sirius answered as coldly as ever.
"I just reached this morning", Noah responded in agreement,
"Why do you ask? And for your information, I will reach the Academy in an hour. So don't wait for me on any of your foolish things", Aliya said as she hung up right after.
"Since most of us are here, let's meet in the dormitory because I have something important to discuss", Ray replied as he ignored Aliya and her behavior.
"Okay", Sirius and Noah said as they both cut the call as well.
Reaching the dormitory, Ray found Sirius and Noah in the living room, slouching on the couch as they watched Tv.
"Hey guys, how are you both doing", Ray greeted with a smile while he directly turned off the Tv switch as he continued,
"Okay, we have an important matter to discuss",
"But why did you switch off the Tv, we were watching", Noah cried out as he threw the remote in annoyance.
"You could watch later. This comes first", Ray asserted as he picked up the remote and placed it beside the tv.
"Hurry up", Noah said while Sirius nodded.
"Elina came to me and asked me to help her train and teach her how to fight using melee weapons", Ray said as he continued, "But the problem is that I don't have mastery in most weapons and can't teach her alone. That's why I ask for your help to assist me in teaching her", Ray politely asked with a slight smile on his face as he looked forward for Noah's and Sirius's approval.
"Nope", Both Noah and Sirius responded at once as Noah continued,
"She asked for your help, so you should help her. Not us",
"But you are her teammates as well. Also, I couldn't help her alone", Ray responded as he requested their help saying, "Also, if she learns to fight better and increases her fighting ability. We would be able to take on stronger opponents while helping her might help you guys find some insights on your techniques",
"You have a valid point and I agree to help you. However, if there is no improvement from the start, then I am out", Sirius replied as he showed his agreement.
"If he is in, then I am in", Noah added as he continued,
"Now that we have agreed to your request, can we please watch Tv", Noah asked in sarcasm as he picked up the Tv remote and switched on the Tv.
"Yeah, you both continue. Also, thanks for agreeing to help out", Ray smiled and left both of them to watch Tv in silence.
With that, Ray walked to Elina's room as he knocked on the door,
"Knock… Knock… Click",
The door lock clicked as Elina opened the door.
"Yes Ray, do you need anything?",
"Uhm... I just came to tell you that Noah and Sirius have agreed and that your training would start tomorrow",
"Really? Thank you so much. You are the best friend ever", Elina jumped with joy as she hugged Ray.
On the other hand, Ray said nothing as he patted her on the back and left right after in a hurry as he felt something bulging from his pants.
As for the reason? Well, Elina had some pretty big assets and being hugged by her when she wore nothing but a thin shirt made Ray feel a lot of things.
"Thank God I left when I did. Girls are dangerous", Ray thought as he calmed himself down and went to the training room to blow off some steam.
