CHAPTER 32: YOU BELONG WITH ME

XENON WINGATE

2 ½ YEARS AGO

It happened so fast. I couldn’t believe that I was able to bulldoze into the crowd, intercepting Serena and the dragonoid assailant in between, and block the machete with my right arm. Due to the shortness of time, I was not able to forge a shield to protect myself from harm. The blade cut through the back of my wrist all the way to an inch before my elbow, making blood spurt out straight to the assailant’s eyes.

“Ahck!” The assailant blinked due to irritation.

“Forge!” I shouted out loud as I use my left fist to create a knuckle. Using the momentum of my running earlier and putting my weight on my left arm, I made a lightning-fast hook straight to his nose. The impact is so powerful that it made the dragonoid fly as he swirled seven hundred and eighty degrees before crashing on the white sandy ground. It was a one-punch K.O. and there’s no indication that the dragonoid assassin would wake up.

The crowd of fans stands in awe. They spread out and circled on the scene, fully surprised, scared, and amazed at the very same time. Some of them gasped, some of them applauded, and some of them were scared.

“Serena, are you okay!?” I glanced at my dragonoid.

“S-Senpai!” Serena immediately went to my aid and held my right arm. “Of course I’m okay! It’s you who’s not! You’re bleeding! Let’s give you first aid!”

Nathaniel the macho dragonoid immediately gave the assailant an armlock even though that guy is half-dead. He and his dragon knight Danielle delivered the dragonoid to the nearby police camp for further questioning. On the other hand, Serena and I immediately went out of the scene as we went back to the picnic table. Meanwhile, the crowd of fans dispersed slowly as the commotion faded. Even the mysterious Lothar Pendragon disappeared.

Now I’m back laying at my beach chaise, sipping on my lemonade while my beautiful dragonoid nurse me. Alphonse and Z also offered their help by using their steam, water, and fire powers to fuse the wound I have sustained. That would at least stop me from running out of blood.

“This wound is fucking long, mate,” Alphonse said. “We may be able to heal it, but you will have this scar for life.”

“Don’t be so concerned at me, bastard.” I chuckled. “Maybe licking it will do the work.”

“You’re not a dog, Senpai!” Serena nagged. “Stop joking around! Come on, stretch your arms so that I can put the bandage!”

I relaxed and laid my body flat on the chaise as I look at the blue skies while my friends treat my wound. I indulge myself to deep thought as I wonder what just happened. That man who gave me the sign, it’s Lothar Pendragon. I’m sure of it. But I wonder why did he help me save Serena. I’m a well-known traitor in Elysia, and Lothar is loyal to Elysia. He’s supposed to be my enemy.

“This will do,” Z muttered as she finally let go of my injured arm. “I have injected magical dust on your wound that would slowly repair your tissues. Your wound should be gone tomorrow, but expect that there will be a huge mark left on that arm.”

“Thank you, Z!” Serena hugged the witch on a bikini and straw hat.

“You’re welcome, Serena.” Z laughed. “Now you owe me a make-up kit. A branded expensive one, that thing you use before your concerts.”

“Will do~” Serena jollily cried. “I’ll give you one later.”

Suddenly, Alphonse snatched Z’s hat and raised it above as he teased his dragonoid. “Why the fuck would you like to have that make-up for? That’s just for beautiful faces like Serena, not for you!”
