━───Chiye continue to follow Sucheon till they arrived in a training room, much smaller than the training room for all the students. It's easy to assume that this training room in only for personal training or something. The room was a bit too spacious for one person, and enough space for training other people's ability.

Sucheon entered the training room and turned to Chiye once both of them are inside. "You followed me here, so I'm assuming you're quite free."

Chiye keenly sense a slight anticipation in that tone, and approached Sucheon with sparkling smile. "Finally! I thought you'll ignore me the whole time." Saying that, Chiye chuckled and placed a hand on her hips. "To answer your question though, I'm free as a bird."

That kind of response was really playful. If only Sucheon knew how rare that is, that even Jiwoo and the others failed to get such treatment, he wouldn't be feeling annoyed at it and thinks Chiye is playing around, treating everything like a game.

'Free as a bird, she said. This bitch...does she even know who she's going to fight in three days?' Sucheon stared at Chiye with eyes full of criticism. He couldn't help but judge her a bit, seeing that she's too casual and carefree.

“What am I even expecting...” Sucheon muttered to himself, earning a confused hum from Chiye. Sucheon crossed his arms and frowned, “You're going to fight Duke Grane, yet instead of preparing you're slacking and spending your time in leisure. Are you dumb or stupid? Do you have an idea who you're going to fight?”

It took Chiye and even Sucheon himself by surprise. Chiye was surprised because she didn't expect Sucheon to talk to her and say things much, while Sucheon's surprise came from the fact that he said such words.

He's not worried. No. Not at all. In fact, he just felt a bit disdain because Chiye is leisurely passing her days like she doesn't care about the match. Arrogant as he is, Sucheon also place great importance in this school. This Academy was built under the intensive care of all Korean Awakened organization, just to nurture them. Then there came a bunch of stupid assholes who talked a bunch of nonsense and instead of letting them fight, the Academy ordered for them to stay silent.

Of course, Sucheon doesn't really care about fighting those kids from World Awakeners Academy. They can go fvck themselves to hell, he doesn't give a damn. He'd rather fight this girl Chiye or that Jiwoo Seo instead of wasting his time on those annoying students from World Awakeners Academy.

Then Chiye and Jiwoo pulled some stupid tricks and now they're up to fight against Duke.

Sucheon felt its unfair how those guys can asked for a match so easily while he's here, stuck in training himself. So when Chiye appeared and followed him around like a lost puppy, he took the chance to bring her here in one of the few training rooms.

"Spar with me." Sucheon was serious, looking at Chiye with a gloom in between his eyes.

"What? You want to spar, with me?" Chiye's tone that basically has that 'Have you lost your mind?' meaning to it annoyed Sucheon.

"Yeah."

"Hmmm..." Chiye thought for a moment before giving a lopsided smile. "How about this, If I win you'll be my friend. If you win, you can have me as your friend. How's that?"

Sucheon: ....

Sucheon deadpanned at Chiye. His eyes was devoid of amusement as he stared blankly at Chiye, thinking whether she's really this shameless or crazy. “What's the difference?” he was annoyed.

Chiye grinned. “Well, you will be my friend whether you like it or not if I win. I'll be your friend whether you like it or not if you win. See the difference?”

‘No. I don't fucking see any difference.’ Sucheon clicked his tongue in annoyance and decided to just ignore whatever Chiye is saying. “So, are you going to accept spar with me or what?”

Chiye chuckled, feeling a bit disappointed that Sucheon didn't say anything about her deal. Considering that, it seems like this is another failed offer to be friends.

“Why do you want to spar with me?”

“To beat you up. You're too annoying.”

Laughter escaped Chiye's lips as she grinned, liking that answer. It was direct, but at the same time it sounded like an excuse.

“Alright. I will spar with you.”

Chiye doesn't like fighting at all. She's a free spirit who loves sleeping in cold places and while eating sweets. After all, fighting only bring forth a surge of negative energy in her mind.

Still, seeing Sucheon's eyes that's filled with determination and anticipation, she can't find it inside her to actually refuse.

She may not call it a kind of friendship yet, but Chiye knew for sure that she will get along with Sucheon. The young man just exudes the aura she likes, one she is very fond of. It's a warmth feeling that carried a hint of coldness, a comfortable coldness.

Chiye grinned and asked playfully, “You really won't consider my previous offer?”

Rolling his eyes, Sucheon didn't answer and started the spar without so much as a warning. The surge of gravity was quick to spread around Sucheon. His great control over his power was terrifying considering his age, and the purple hues flicker within Chiye's sight.

The atmosphere became cold and serious with just that move. That gravity field was wide enough to cover the whole training grounds, and the massive energy of gravity could cause the people weaker than it to instantly fall in the ground.

Perhaps it was because of his assumption that Chiye also has speed ability like Jiwoo, but Sucheon was already on set on his plan to put a disadvantage to Chiye by spreading his gravity in his surroundings.

It will have two endings.

One, if Chiye is really uses speed ability like Jiwoo Seo, then even if she can bear this kind of gravity and move, her speed would be decrease.

Two, if she's not a user of speed ability and something else, then this gravity field might be useless.

Either of the endings, Sucheon was ready. He won't be stupid enough to underestimate someone who can even place a blade against Duke Grane's neck while staying unnoticed.

Sucheon's gaze was way more serious compared to his fight with Jiwoo Seo as he stared at Chiye solemnly.

“Come.”
