Chapter 234: Agreemen

Emilia stood up straight up above looking at the panting wide-eyed Moby, his hands clenching his heart, with a clear air of pride and amusement around her, her arms crossed and a visible smirk on her face.

It seemed like he had finally realized who he was going up against by experiencing her lord's great power of enchanting.

However, sadly for him, although it was clearly an idiotic idea, now even if he wanted to run away out of fear, due to him already signing the contract, that was now simply impossible.

To her, Moby seemed completely broken, now staring blankly at what seemed like nothing ahead of him, his eyes moving up and down, the realization of his imminent failure most likely too much to bear.

''Hmm?'

Suddenly, as she was staring at him, she could not help but realize what seemed to be a small yet extremely confident, dark, demonic smirk appear on Moby's face with a pulse of unknown aura coming from his direction, yet when she blinked, that face was completely gone like it never existed in the first place.

Emilia's confusion was immense, she had no idea if what she saw was real or a figment of her imagination as she could not help the sudden cold feeling running down her spine.

Instinctively and in a casual, unassuming manor, she took a glance at her sister to see her expression, only to replace her normal amused face looking at Moby's pain beneath her. She clearly did not see what she saw which was quite the relief.

She took a deep breath and inwardly shook her head, what she saw must have been a figment of her imagination, there was no way what she saw was real, she knew that for a fact. If she accepted what she saw, she would also have to take back her thoughts about her lord's power which was something completely absurd, even treacherous in her mind.

The contract paper in her hand still glowing with a brilliant black and white aura, it now completely golden from Moby's perspective was now stored back by her where she got it before focusing her gaze back at Moby, his teeth now clenched tightly and his hands in a fist, replaceing the power in himself to slowly stand up on his two feet which Emilia found quite brave yet amusing at the same time.

"Okay… The deed has been done… But we still need to discuss many things, what time will we meet up and where? I am assuming later today to avoid the lie detector test but with all these camera's I'm not sure where. You said you had a place where no cameras could catch. Do you mind sharing that with me?"

Moby's sweat, panting and heavy voice showed that he had clearly not recovered from what he had just experienced, but she could at least commend his efforts and determination.

"Indeed… We'll meet up right here!" Her words seemed to have caught Moby completely by surprise since he could clearly see the camera's in the area, continuing before he was able to ask any further question.

"You see that spot in the corner?"

She pointed at the exact direction she was referring to with a crimson flame on her index finger.

"That spot is actually the only blind spot I could replace in the entire school, other than the bathroom stalls of course. There is a 2-meter by 2-metre area where nothing could be seen there which is more than enough for the teleporter I have prepared. We should meet up here at around 5 pm since they reduced the curfew down to 7 pm, 2 hours should be plenty enough to settle everything,"

Moby slowly took in everything that was said to him before he responded, trying his best but failing to seem ordinary.

"Wait, if you knew about the blind spot, why didn't you lure me there and take me out? Then teleport me straight to the other planet?"

Moby's comment made Emilia chuckle, the look of amusement still on her face.

"Well, would you have really been dumb enough to fall for such an obvious trap such as me luring you to a corner?"

"No, I suppose not," Moby nodded back.

"Now, do you have any other questions? I think all should be clear, come here secretly with all your demon buddies, make sure that the cameras don't really see your faces and that should be it…"

Moby put his hands on his face, deeply pondering over Emilia's words before he took a deep breath, sweat running down his face, his fists clenched and spoke.

"Everything seems to be fair… I'll be sure to come… It's not like I have a choice in the matter..." Moby once again accepted the proposal, nodding to Emilia.

"Very true," She replied with a sudden burst of laughter.

*Ring* *Ring* *Ring* *Ring* *Ring* *Ring*

Suddenly, interrupting their conversation, the bell that marked the end of lunch suddenly rang, catching everyone off guard.

"Well, seems like we have discussed all we need… My class has outdoor training today so I'll be off now. I hope to see you there!" Emilia spoke with an ominous smile, looking into Moby's eyes like he was a little rabbit that had fallen into her trap and has no escape from her grasp.

Immediately, using a simple light step, she effortlessly jumped up to the top of the school which was at least a hundred meters in height, looking down at Moby and Abby below with that same prideful, overbearing smile before she looked back and prepared to leave.

Yet, before she did, she heard a voice coming her way from below, making her look back once again.

"I have another condition to add, you must bring the contract along with you to the battlefield!"

Moby's voice was low yet still audible for her, making her respond back with a rather unnaturally wide smile.

"Of course! I will never go anywhere without it! What kind of question was that? It is my lord's prized possession that he had so graciously trusted me with and bestowed upon me! I wouldn't be caught dead without it!" She answered in the usual voice that she always used when she was addressing her unknown lord, looking back at Moby like a dead slab of meat before disappearing for good, leaving Moby and Abby alone, both of them unable to do anything to each other due to all the cameras in the area.

Moby immediately looked at Abby's confident visage, her arms crossed with a crimson, fiery glint in her eyes and spoke.

"Abby… What is your true motivation behind all of this? I can't imagine you're doing this all for your sister right?"

The mood stood still, nothing but the sound of the howling wind and the chatter of a few students in the distance that seemed to be headed back to their class.

"My motives have always been the same for the past few months and nothing will change that, and if I have to stomp on you, Jayden, Alex, or anyone else to get what I want then so be it! Now! Let's get out of this alleyway and head back to class before anyone else comes, a boy and a girl alone in such a place is not good for our image," Abby spoke, a hint of disgust in her voice, the sound of the students in the distance getting ever so slightly louder.

With a long sigh, no sign of blushing or being flustered at all, Moby nodded and spoke.

"Yeah, you're right… Let's not be late for class,"

Just like they came, they both walked back in the same obscure direction where no one would usually go, the atmosphere between them rather tense which made the small daggers implanted in Moby's heart sink in even further seeing how different his relationship with her had become, which only steeled his resolve even further.

As they both walked, since they did not talk to each other, Moby used the opportunity to open a conversation with Avilia to continue where they had previously left off.

'That temporal soul swap skill I got must have been some sort of technique or foundation they developed to help get you a new body. I'm not sure how exactly it's gonna work but it's gonna be my trump card. With it, I actually feel confident to defeat her,'

Avilia inwardly nodded back to his words in approval and responded.

'Indeed, if it ever comes to it you could count on me! No way we'll be losing when so much is on the line! My servants have really outdone themselves, it seems that you only need to imprint your blood on a piece of the book and you would gain both the knowledge and the technique associated with it. Maybe they found out a way to resurrect me and give me a new body but something happened to stop them… If you replace the rest of the book, I'm sure we could work something out to both make you stronger and get me a new body,'

After seeing that skill, Avilia slowly started to feel excited, a tingle throughout her entire body as she began to practice techniques and punch the air in her subspace, almost like shadow boxing, almost like she was ready to punch someone all the way to the moon. Yet, despite the exterior she was trying to portray to Moby so he does not worry about her, the feeling of extreme pain and unease still lingered in her mind despite trying her best to stay positive.

'Indeed!'

Moby smiled back at Avilia's words and withheld a statement he had in mind about the paper being familiar since even he was not sure about his own words, and seeing how he had thought of it so much, she had probably already read his mind and found out about it and dismissed it just like he did so he did not bother to speak about it.

Before Moby even knew it, he and Abby were already back in class.

Just like before, they both looked at each other with a casual smile that had many underlying meanings before they sat down in their seat and focused on Leo's teachings who arrived a few seconds after everyone in the class arrived, continuing his lesson on spirit mode, most of what he was saying being something Moby already knew.

So, Moby focused half his attention on Leo's words and his other half on contacting his family members, including Jason and Nags as he relayed everything that had transpired between him, Abby, and Emilia, leaving out the part about the book of resurrection of course and simply referring to it as the contract, that along with his newly learned skill, all of them despite being in class, completely in focus and listening as he spoke with clear intent and a solemn, serious atmosphere in the mind-link.
