Chapter 52 – All For Survival
There is an empty space in Levisia’s mindhall, littered by two feminine bodies. rril and Levisia stood there enveloped by raging thoughts. To rril’s face, and within a couple of seconds, Levisia shook her head in squeamishness. Like the rage from the blue oceans, her heart was subconscious. rril has said too much, Levisia confessed. rril’s eyes were bitter, her words were coarse too. Levisia didn’t have a course to get angry because she had beco a worthless, terrible person, even to rril. Anger wasn’t the right emotion to pull up for rril since she didn’t feel it from the onset after all.
Look, even after all that, your flat reaction is just―”, rril flattered.
“Hmm?” Levisia sounded in anxiety.
“Wow, you’re so cute,” rril complinted.
‘What is the deal with this person?’ Levisia thought.
rril looked at Levisia frankly. She tried not to let her words co out comical, not by one bit. “So you’re telling the truth right now?” rril asked rhetorically.
Levisia was afraid. To her, it was a good idea to avoid people with dangerous preferences.
“It’s ridiculous when you get angry over petty things, but you’re a bit unique,” rril stressed further. rril’s words ant that she thinks Levisia is cute, and it is amazing that a bug doesn’t flinch even if it is stepped on, right? rril’s liking was suspicious. Who would think that an unflinching bug is cute?
Whatever rril thought of Levisia, the latter found it absurd. It was clear that she knew her words were shabby.
‘Even so, all I can do is…’ Levisia rendered. ‘Nothing. Yep. For sure.’
If rril rely beca a bully, Levisia would most likely stay in her confines. But if rril interferes further with her life, she would turn a new leaf henceforward.
‘Just be a bug for a mont. If soone asks if I don’t have the guts, I will just nod in affirmation. I have to survive, whether I have the guts or not.’
If Levisia wouldn’t retaliate against anyone’s will, rely suppressing her breath and carrying on, there’s nothing more she can hope for. Why would she egg her on? Levisia shut her mouth at the thought of that, but rril who saw her reaction smiled furiously.
“Why stay quiet now… Have you no pride?”
Levisia rely muted after what seed like a trance.
“You’re just gonna lie flat and avoid the mont?” rril added.
Levisia thought her smile was chilly, and she guessed that’s what it ant; that up until now rril has been irritating her.
‘All that talk about you liking and calling cute was for this?’
Levisia bore a face that showed her suspicions. She felt this way when rril picked on her with those ridiculous words, but what a disgusting hobby. What was she going to do when she saw her reaction?
Levisia rubbed her wrists and caught rril’s eyes. “If you deliberately irritate , you won’t get anything out of it,” she said.
Even if Levisia knew what rril wanted, she wouldn’t get anything from her. Why? Because she doesn’t have anything to her na. If soone who possesses everything even slightly brushes shoulders with a person who has nothing, all they get is the title of a bully.
‘Proud enough as she is, I don’t think she’ll hit ,’ Levisia thought.
But rril kept a strange face when she heard that. With a girl-with-a-cold-heart kind of smile, she said:
“What? Either way, I’m not gonna hit you.” rril said almost defensively, “I’m just kidding, a joke is what it is.”
At this point, Levisia thought she would boil up and just spit out anything. Everything else she said in the past spurred out just that way. Which part of rril was truthful and which was an act? Frustration welled up within Levisia, causing her to stop talking. Then, rril began to speak about sothing Levisia never demanded an answer for, not from her.
“I don’t like the kind of people who lose their heads because they’ve heard sothing they don’t want to hear. Seeing you now, you don’t seem like that type,” she started off.
Even that didn’t sound like it ca from her heart. After thinking for a while, Levisia decided which facade of rril was real. The contempt she showed at that mont was clearly sincere.
“And I can see why those three are all over you,” she teased, “Nelle. Being near you makes feel the sa way as holding Nelle in my hand.” rril blurted in a sympathetic tone after a sniff. She was holding onto sothing, that which she fisted tightly to keep Levisia guessing.
“What in the world does that feel like?” Levisia questioned as soon as rril rounded her explanation.
“That feeling of being full of power. Sothing like being confident that I can turn this area into a sea of water in a flick.”
“Wasn’t that example a bit extre?” Levisia inquired in a quiver. When she unknowingly was about to step back, rril uttered incoherently and opened her hands wide as if she didn’t an that.
“This is what I’m talking about. You may have seen it earlier, but it was impossible to use a lot of energy at the fairy fest. Putting out Siaphyl’s fire took a lot of energy. Well, a fire has no power when faced with water, ha!” rril prided on being a great exploiter of her strength, always feeling like she made herself so. With a big smile, she stretched her hand out to Levisia. It seed like she wanted a shake. “Anyway, just like those three, I like you, too. I like it especially when you call my na,” rril added.
When Levisia was pondering over accepting the shake, rril said sothing she found really hard to take in.
“I’ll help you with your training,” she offered.
“Excuse …?” Levisia stood frozen, blinking her eyes. What training was she talking about?
Then with one hand, rril swung her sword lightly and said, “I an so you can wield it well, like this. Because I don’t like having weaklings by my side. If you lack innate strength, all you have to do is work on increasing your body strength. Of course, I’m good at both.”
Like raindrops on a budding flower, Levisia fell in a trance. Her brain was joggled in the lot of trying to fathom rril’s long talk. Worries amassed like migraine in her head. Then, she didn’t need to be by her side. What was the point?
Lev couldn’t bear any more of this, so she had to speak up. “So then you don’t really need by your side?”
“What?” rril reacted as if she had heard a funny joke.
‘Why did she act like I did sothing hilarious? Wait, she’s being for real?’
“Hearing you say that, I really want you by my side now,” she rogued. “Were you in the sa departnt as Elivet…?” rril grabbed Levisia’s hand and shook it up and down seeing that she had frozen in dismay.
“You, you’re funny. You’ve got a knack for making people laugh,” Levisia stamred.
“Let’s et more often, girl. That was quite an unwelco complint,” rril soft-toned these words into her ears.
“Can’t we just go back to not knowing each other?”
Tucked in a world so small, Levisia found her way ho. Her mind was in a race, one that would only co to an end if she can do away with the thoughts about rril. The sensation, thought arrests and uncalled gestures almost knocked her out.
