pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ "Huh?" I snapped out of my reverie when I felt the cold floor and my slightly lukewarm blood on my right cheek.
'What.... What's going on?' I thought while in daze.
I sat back up, looked around, and discovered Katharine, Violet, and Katline staring at me with their hands on their mouths, without making any noise, but there was someone who did.
I raised my head at the sound of the steps and noticed Vinny who stood in his devil form, he now had pitch black skin that seemed to devour light, 3 inches long claws, vampire like fangs, twisted horns protruding from his forehead and his crimson red hair was floating in air with bright red hue covering it, his sclera was black and he had bright blood red eyes with vertical black slits.
'His black eyes have turned red.....which is almost similar to that of a 'fiend' from the Demi-human organization.'
"Ow?!" I felt a sting on my lips, only then did I notice that I was battered.
My left forearm was fractured, three right, lower ribs were broken, right shoulder was dislocated, 2 cuts on my lower lip, 1 cut on my right upper lip and finally a cut on my right brow.
"Damn, I 'literally' got hit black and blue." I mumbled as I pulled collar neck of my t-shirt, looked down and noticed that was body was beaten up black and blue.
I clenched my right shoulder and re-adjusted my shoulder.
POP
"Haaa..." I sighed as I remembered what happened while I was in my own world.
"Mm~mm~ puthui!" I cleaned my mouth with my tongue and spat out blood because I didn't like the irony taste of blood.
"I would have forced myself to swallow blood 'ONLY' if I need it to survive....so not again! Why would I return to human domain if I wanted to continue eating monster's flesh and drinking monster's blood?" I mumbled and stood back up.
POP (4x)
"Haa..." I sighed in relief because everything seemed pop back into its place.
"Ahem!" I closed my eyes and loudly cleared my throat.
".... So, explain! Why you called me here....." I asked with my right eye open, but stopped mid-sentence.
".... That was a stupid question....." I mumbled and glanced at Vassago.
"Ahem, alright kids, move to a corner." I said loudly and got five reproachful gazes.
"Five? Eh?" I looked around and noticed that Jiwoo, too, was staring at me.
"Jiwoo! My boy, you woke up? Are you alright?" I asked him with a bright smile.
"Yes and no, respectively." Jiwoo grumbled.
"When did you wake up?" I asked while smiling brightly.
"When you were getting beat..." Jiwoo replied but I cut him short.
"Ahem!" I cleared my throat, embarrassedly and walked towards them.
"Shoo, sho, sho now. Got to a corner, adults will fight now." I shooed them to the right most corner of the training chamber. Jiwoo was.... Hmm.... Should I say dragged? Anyway, Katline and Katharine supported him to walk and took him to the corner, made him sit down and they started to stare at me without blinking once.
"Hm? How surprising. I thought you would pounce on me the moment I turned towards them." I said with a wide grin because I noticed Vassago flinch when he met my gaze.
"Shall we start round two? Or do you need a break?" I asked while grinning.
***
Jiwoo sat down and stared at Eshwar for a split second before moving his gaze elsewhere. He furrowed his brows at battered Eshwar, who stood straight and grinned at the enemy who had thrashed him black and blue just a minute ago.
"Say, he got his a*s handed to him just a moment ago, right?" Jiwoo asked the others who were still staring at Eshwar.
"Yeah, he definitely did." Violet replied, groaning while healing her broken arm.
"Am I imagining things, or did she sound cheerful when she said that?" Jiwoo leaned to the right where Katharine sat and whispered to her.
"She definitely did." Katharine answered while snickering.
"Ahem, anyway! Why is he so confident?" Jiwoo asked.
"....." silence befell on them.
"Violet!" suddenly, Eshwar called out, loudly.
"Oh, it seems he heard you..." Jiwoo whispered to Violet who flinched and sat straight, Katharine and Katline giggled at Violet's expense.
"You did great!" Eshwar yelled from the other side of training chamber.
"....huh?" they stared at Eshwar with their eyes wide open in disbelief.
"..... Thank you...." Violet mumbled with a slightly flushed face and in a low tone which was barely audible, even to those who sat next to her. He didn't seem to have heard her as he turned back to the demonic figure and grinned widely.
"Anyway, what was that? You, suddenly, became so strong. How did you that?" Katharine asked in an amazed tone with twinkling stars in her eyes.
".... Hey, aren't you too relaxed?" Jiwoo grumbled to avoid talking about his specialized trait and his new temporary trait.
"I don't know, but I somehow feel relaxed looking at Eshwar's confidence, so answer me." Katharine said and asked for an answer, tactlessly.
'Take a hint, will you!' Jiwoo grumbled, inwardly.
".... Vinny...." Katline mumbled in a dejected tone, attracting their attention.
".... Said to me that Jiwoo as stronger than him in his previous life." Katline tactfully changed the topic to a slightly better one.
'..... Why the hell would share a secret with the others, Katline!!!' Jiwoo grunted, inwardly.
After Vinny revealed that truth about his regression, Katharine and Violet were, somehow, aware of it by the next day. When Jiwoo and Vinny asked Katharine and Violet how they knew about Vinny's regression, they said that Katline had told them about it, which was supposed to be a brag, but turned out that she had revealed what was supposed to be a secret without a second thought.
'When I found out what happened, I almost laughed my a*s off while looking at Vinny's lifeless expression, pfft! Just thinking about it makes me laugh.' Jiwoo thought.
"Pfft!" Jiwoo laughed out loud, involuntarily.
".... What's wrong?" Katline asked.
"Pfft, nothing, nothing, I just remembered something." Jiwoo shook his head and dismissed the topic.
"Hey, how did you do it? You seem too weak." Katharine said with a innocent face which hurt Jiwoo a bit more than it should have.
"Ack." Jiwoo groaned and put on a hurtful face.
"Hey, are you alright?" Katharine asked while the Violet and Katline giggled.
BOOM
BAM
"Oh! It seems like they started!" Jiwoo said.
