“When you say that I could try training with the butler, I didn’t think that it would be right now,” said Matthew as he picked up the wooden sword handed to him by the maids. “Bart does not do much other than directly serving me, so he has time on his hands,” said Gustav.”So feel free to train with him whenever.” “My lord, are you sure about me training this young man?” Asked Bart the butler. “It is fine. I will just be in my office. Well, good luck to you Matthew.” Gustav said lastly before heading off. “I could also train you if you want, but close combat isn’t my forte,” said Yuki. “It’s fine. I’ll give this a go first.” Matthew spun the sword in his hand. “So how are we gonna do this?” “Hmm you are already well trained as a Hunter

Yuki was currently in her room, just laying on her bed while reading a book. Her eyes shifted left and right as she slowly moved down the lines of the paragraph. Small gasps and giggles came from her every now and then. She rolled around on her bed while covering her face with the book. “Aww~ this is so sweet! They are too sweet! Just get married already!” She shouted inside the book. KNOCK KNOCK “Uwaa!” Yuki was very surprised by the sudden knock. “Miss Nakamura, Lord Gustav wishes to see you right now.” A male voice, possibly the butler’s, came through the door. “O-oh, alright. Be there in a sec.” Yuki replied back while hiding the book under her pillow. She got off the bed and tied her hair back into a ponytail. Then she put on a proper shirt and bent down to tie her shoes. “W

In an alleyway, away from the crowds of people, two figures were having a conversation. “Sorry, but no.” “Come on Chia. Help me out here.” Yuki begged the girl. “I’m already busy with other things, okay? And you still haven’t paid the last favour you owe me.” Chia looked and shut her eyes from Yuki. “Erk! That, I uhh… I promise I’ll pay it back someday, but right now I really need your help, please!” Yuki clapped her hands together as begged even more. Chia took a peek at the pitiful Yuki in front of her. She sighed. “Hah~ fine, I’ll at least hear you out, I’ll decide later.” “Great!” Yuki immediately cheered up as if all that pleading was just an act. “So, what is it?” Chia turned her head to face Yuki. Yuki was slight

Rain poured like cats and dogs on this particular night. The earth wall was moist as water seeped through the soil. The cement floor was also a bit wet and very cold. Matthew sat on the floor with his legs crossed and his hands on his lap. It was said that this position helps someone to keep a calm nature as if they are one with the surrounding. Matthew took deep and steady breaths. He was controlling his astra and kept it flowing inside him, trying to not let it leak out. He had lost track of time and had no idea of how many hours or days he was in the prison. He could’ve easily escaped by bending the bars and sneaking out, but by the off chance that he encounters the demon Phillip was talking about, he would be in trouble. He did not care if he lost, but he did, who would save his friends? Even though Yuki was a high ranked Hunter, she herself said that she was not sure of taking on a demon. And so for now, Matth

“I see, that’s how it is.” Yuki cupped her chin. She was sitting on top of a box in the alleyway while Chia was leaning against the wall in front of her. “What would you say the kind of spell your friend is under?” Chia asked. “I don’t see any difference in her. It’s neither [Mind Control] or [Total Control] I don’t think.” Yuki said. “So it’s either the lower tier ones?” “Yes. Not sure which one since they are pretty close. But at least I know that they still have some consciousness. So how do I get her back to her senses?” “Tina said you have to make the caster stop their spell or you can also snap some sense into your friend.” “By stop, does killing the caster count as making them stop?” Yuki asked. Killing off the caster would be the easiest o
