Seven Sins System Chapter 204: I Need to Get My Power Back!

Seven Sins System Chapter 204. I Need to Get My Power Back!

We walked through the bustling sidewalk. Our conversation ebbed and flowed like the tide. We chatted about mundane topics, like the weather and the latest movies. But underneath the surface, I could feel tension. I felt like… I and Claire were walking on eggshells, trying to avoid any topics that might reveal our true identities to Aria.

The academy was only a few blocks away, but it felt like an eternity as we tiptoed around the elephant in the room.

On other hand, Aria's interest in was becoming more and more apparent with each passing mont. It was as if she was trying to peel away the layers of my life, to uncover the truth beneath the surface. Her questions ca at like a barrage of arrows, aid at my heart and my past. She asked as if she interrogated . She wanted to know about everything.

I did my best to answer her inquiries, sticking to the story I had concocted for myself, my made-up bio in case she had checked it. As for my childhood, my family, and my friends – I simply spun a web of lies. Well, lying was the devil's specialty, so this was an easy thing for .

But even though I spoke with a steady voice and a calm deanor, I couldn't shake the feeling that Aria was onto , this ti not because of a good ans. There was a sense of suspicion in the air, like a thick fog that refused to dissipate. I tried to act as normal as possible, but every word that passed between us felt like a landmine waiting to explode.

Once we passed through the academy's gate, Aria turned to , a small smile playing at the corner of her lips. "I should probably head back to my dorm and put away my things," she said, her voice soft and lodic. "It was nice walking with you."

I nodded, returning her smile with one of my own. "Sure," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.

Then without further ado, she left.

Claire was still by my side, her eyes following Aria's retreating figure. "She seems nice," she said, breaking the silence.

I glanced at Claire who stood at my side. "Only to mortals. Once she finds my identity, she will try to kill ," I said, my voice painted with annoyance.

Claire exhaled a long breath. "I can't deny that. I could only say you should be careful," she warned again. "Well, I think I should be going now. I want to visit a friend," Claire said with a huff. "She's in a different class, so I don't get to see her often."

I simply answered her with a nod.

"Bye," she said as she walked away.

Alone, I walked to the dorm. As I entered my room, the familiar sight of my boring room greeted . I went to my desk without further ado and placed the paper bag down with a heavy thud, the sound echoing through the room.

Quickly, my expression changed. My calmness was gone. My irritation was evident in my expression, my brow furrowed in frustration. I couldn't shake the feeling that Aria had targeted . She might already know that I was a devil.

I didn't know what changed her mind and it didn't matter. The important thing was the solution. I needed to do sothing about this, fast.

"Seriously, I need to get my power back A.S.A.P!" I hissed, my frustration reaching a boiling point. The intensity of my emotions was palpable, like a storm brewing just beneath the surface. Without my power, I felt like a re mortal, vulnerable and exposed. The thought of Aria discovering my true identity sent shivers down my spine. I couldn't let her bully or make her hostage.

I continued to pace back and forth, my steps echoing through the empty room. I needed to find a way to regain my strength and ensure that Aria didn't uncover my secret before I could get it back. But the more I thought about it, the more hopeless it seed.

Harshly, I opened my drawer and retrieved my phone. My fingers flew across the screen as I typed out a ssage to my father.

: How is it, dad? When can I take my trial? I think Puriel has started to suspect .

Again, I walked back and forth in restlessness. I couldn't stand the thought of being weak, vulnerable, and powerless. The idea of Puriel using my weakness against was a nightmare. I could bear the pain of being thrown into the Holy Water and shone upon with Divine Light, but being exposed as weaker than her? Absolutely not. I was determined not to let her intimidate and would choose death over being bullied by her.

My restless pacing continued, my mind racing with possibilities for how I could regain my strength. Suddenly, a thought struck .

'Right...I should go leveling up. Now!' I thought. It was Saturday, the perfect day to pretend that I was going out to buy sothing or visit a friend. No… even better. This was my birthday! I could reason that my friends invited sowhere and it turned out they were throwing a surprise party. Then we went to the club, I got hungover and ended up sleeping on the street.

Perfect! It sounded like a mortal!

My steps stopped. "Right..." I muttered in a low voice. "That sounds like a plan," I said to myself. I quickly opened my drawer and put in my phone. My hand slamd the drawer shut harshly.

The impact made the paper bag fall onto my desk, and I heard the sound of sothing heavy hitting the hard surface. The contents of the bag spill out onto the desk. I quickly glanced down and saw the holy water bottle from Aria, but my attention was drawn to sothing else. The present that Claire had given . It was the lamp from the store we had just visited.
