Seven Sins System Chapter 359. Assessnt
A frustrated sigh slipped out as I reluctantly looked away from the schedule and focused on Penelope. The idea of handing over my blood didn't exactly thrill . My blood wasn't just any ordinary stuff; it had value—serious value. No way was I about to treat it like so free sample at a corner store. Unless soone was bound to by a contract, my life essence wasn't up for grabs. Call it pride or status, but the thought of casually giving it away felt downright humiliating.
Shoving that annoyance aside, I glanced back at the schedule, a confused frown taking over. "I thought we had another hunting mission lined up. What's with the sudden switch?" I asked, not bothering to hide the skepticism in my voice.
Penelope's explanation ca quick and straight. "We were planning on it, but Theo's team just got a new ntor. The academy wants to test their team dynamics—make sure they're actually compatible. With all the recent mishaps, they're focusing more on preventing casualties. Guess they're playing it safe," she said, her tone laced with concern.
I fought the urge to roll my eyes at what I saw as the academy's overly cautious approach. Real experience made warriors, not this padded, hand-holding nonsense. But hey, I was here as Dr. Allen, the cooperative combat doc, not Azrael the devil. So, I nodded like I understood. "Makes sense. Gotta be careful," I said, forcing a diplomatic tone even as my mind scread otherwise.
"Exactly. That's why we need your help assessing their compatibility and Aria's leadership skills," Penelope added with a smile, clearly pleased with her plan.
I couldn't stop the smirk that crept onto my face. "So… I'm like a judge now?" I asked, my interest piqued. The idea wasn't half-bad—it had potential for so fun.
"Yep, it's on the schedule," she confird, looking satisfied.
"Nice!" The excitent slipped out before I could stop it, and my grin turned downright evil. Catching myself, I quickly cleared my throat and put on a more formal act. "I an, uh, it'll be an honor."
Inwardly, I was already scheming. If Puriel wanted a passing grade, she'd have to bribe . And I wasn't talking about any half-hearted attempt—only artifacts from her realm would do.
Penelope's nod pulled out of my thoughts. "Great. I already told Aria you'd be one of the judges."
'This just keeps getting better,' I thought, a wicked grin tugging at the corners of my mouth. Evaluating Puriel? Oh, this was going to be entertaining.
"But," Penelope added, her tone shifting to sothing more serious, "don't even think about giving her a biased review. I've noticed how close you two are—and the morning exercises? Yeah, I've seen it."
I raised an eyebrow, smirking. "Hey, I'm a professional," I shot back, leaning hard into the sarcasm. Not my fault Puriel was obsessed with tagging along every morning.
She wasn't buying it. "I an it. If you pull any stunts or overhype her abilities, I'll throw out your evaluation. It needs to be objective," she warned, her gaze sharp enough to cut.
"Fair enough," I said with mock seriousness, though inside I was laughing. Judging a goddess' leadership objectively? Sure, why not. The whole thing was already ridiculous, so I might as well play along.
"Good," she said, her tone shifting again. This ti, her voice dropped into sothing softer, almost predatory. She stepped closer, invading my space. Slowly, she tilted her head, inhaling deeply as if savoring my scent. It was so deliberate it almost felt like she was tasting the air around .
When her eyes finally t mine, there was a spark of mischief in them. "See you later, Dr. Allen," she purred, her voice dripping with playful nace.
I just shrugged, smirking as she turned to leave. "Yeah, see ya," I said, acting unfazed. At this point, I was used to the weirdness that ca with Penelope and Katrina. It was just part of the package.
And with that, she walked off, leaving with the schedule—and the start of so very entertaining plans.
