Step! Step! Step!
The sound of footsteps echoed from down the hallway, and both Luna and Fiona turned as they heard voices coming from that direction.
"I want to fight with you again! Just once! Just fight once! I swear, I won't make it weird! I won't even let you hit on purpose! I'll take it seriously!"
"You're already making it weird! Get away from , you crazy woman! And stop trying to hang off my leg!"
Smack!
A loud sound of soone getting hit echoed from down the hallway, and a loud moan followed the sound, making both Luna and Fiona recoil in surprise! What the hell was that!? Did soone just moan after getting hit!?
Fiona shook her head to get rid of the shock, and her face brightened up in glee as she imdiately recognized the second voice that spoke up! That was definitely Mark, right?! That had to be Mark! Fiona didn't recognize the first voice, but she could tell it was a female.
Fiona saw Luna turning away from her to greet Mark, and Fiona imdiately took a few steps past Luna so that she would be the first person that Mark would see once he turned the corner of the corridor. Fiona turned to Luna with that sa smug grin that she always had, and Luna just ignored her calmly as she waited for Mark to turn the corner.
Mark finally turned the corner after a few seconds, and Fiona imdiately raised a brow in surprise as she noticed the look of complete irritation on Mark's face as he walked down the hall. There were two people coming behind him. One of them was a boy with a tired look on his face and large black circles under his eyes, and the other person was a girl who was holding her head in pain.
Mark saw Fiona and Luna, raised a brow in surprise, and began to walk towards them.
There were many others walking through the hallway, but everyone did their best not to disturb the group that was forming. The Superhuman Alliance was made up entirely of superhumans, and everyone there knew what it felt like to be in the presence of extrely strong individuals, so they did not act like the humans who would stand and stare for a long ti.
Instead, they just looked for a while before leaving to go and do whatever it was that they had been doing at first.
Mark reached Fiona and Luna, and he saw that Fiona was already spreading her hands out for a hug. Mark gave her a hard stare, and Fiona pouted in annoyance as she brought her hand back and accepted the handshake that Mark gave her. Mark asked them what they were doing there, and Fiona told him that she was there for her monthly report.
"The real question is, what are you doing here? I didn't think that you would ever co to the Superhuman Alliance alone."
Fiona was genuinely curious why Mark was in the alliance building. She didn't rember Mark ever having any business here. The lawsuit that they tried to pin against him was dissolved when he joined her guild, and the recent incident with the superhuman killer was taken as self-defense, so there was no need for Mark to be here.
Mark told Fiona that he was here for his superhuman assessnt, and Fiona's eyes widened in shock as she looked at the twins who were walking behind Mark.
"What is the aning of this? How co I was never told about sothing like a superhuman assessnt for one of my own guild mbers? Are you trying to look down on my position as his guild master?"
Tina frowned slightly in confusion as she heard what Fiona said. Tina rembered that they sent the mo to Fiona before they even left to go and et Mark, so there was no way that Fiona should not have gotten the ssage.
"We sent you a ssage a few hours ago. Did you really not receive anything?"
"A few hours ago? That was just before I ca to the alliance building! Why did you send it at a ti when you knew that I would not be in the guild headquarters? You should have sent it a few days ago so that I would have ti to prepare for this properly."
Fiona was justifiably angry, and it was obvious that she was about to lash out since it seed like they had been looking down on her and her guild. Fiona was already upset because of what Luna just did to her, so hearing that Mark was about to go through an assessnt without her was too much and she refused to accept the alliance looking down on her like this!
Mark watched the back and forth between Tina and Fiona for a few seconds with a bored look in his eyes. His eyes landed on Tina, and he saw how she was no longer acting like an idiot. This woman was acting like a perfectly normal person all of a sudden. Was she so sort of bipolar asylum patient? How the hell did they allow soone like this out of the hospital?
"I refuse to allow the assessnt to happen since you did not go through the official route of asking the guild master before taking a mber of their guild to do the assessnt. Mark, do you understand?"
Fiona turned to Mark with an angry look on her face, and Mark just rolled his eyes tiredly as he scratched the back of his head while talking in a calm voice.
"Look, they said that they sent it, isn't that enough? I'm here already, so I should just do it. It's a bit tiring to go back and forth when they send the letter."
Fiona blinked in surprise, and she pouted angrily as she noticed that Mark was not agreeing with her! If not for the fact that she was a grown woman, Mark was sure that Fiona would be busy stomping her foot in anger like a child. Fiona seed to be thinking about it for a few seconds as she looked down with her fan over her face.
Her brow was furrowed in thought, and she had her other hand on her waist as she adopted a pensive pose.
After a few monts, she finally nodded and looked up before pointing her finger at both Turner and Tina.
"I'm going to be having talks with your superiors about this oversight, but for today, I will overlook it. No matter what happens, you cannot start the assessnt without my attendance, so let's go."
Fiona was not going to allow them to just overlook her authority like this! Especially now that she was in front of Luna. Truthfully, Fiona was not really angry with the twins about their slight oversight. Fiona knew that it could happen and she would have been content with their explanation if this was any other ti.
But not now! Not after the conversation that she just had with Luna and not when she knew that Luna was watching everything that was happening with rapt attention! Even now, she could feel Luna's eyes on the back of her head as she listened to everything that they were saying! Fiona was sure that Luna was just laughing her ass off inside her head as she watched the exchange!
There was no way that Fiona would lose!
Fiona clicked her tongue in annoyance and spoke up.
"Well, let's get going then—"
Ka-Cha!
"Madam Fiona, the council will see you now."
"What the fuck!? Why now!?"
