The Devil WithInn 168 Inna's Match 2

Wut da f.u.k?

Inna whipped her head towards the direction of Rhys as she gaped in shock and confusion. Rhys just ignored her reaction as he raised an eyebrow at Greia, irritation clear in his tone.

"So, care to fill me in on the details as to why some crazy chick is here causing damage to MY room?"

Hearing his words, Greia was about to lash out when suddenly, she felt strong arms hugging her from behind.

"Little Grey, why don't we step out and have a little date, hm? Just us two, okay?"

Greia struggled for a few seconds but eventually, she relaxed and laid her head on Irizo's shoulder as she looked up at him.

"I'm still mad at you. You have to carry me. Hmph."

Finding her sulky side as cute, Irizo chuckled as he effortlessly carried her bridal style out of the manor. But just before he left, he gave a wink at Orion to tell him a quick thank you and that he'll handle the rest.

Orion nodded in reply and when the two were gone, he furiously rubbed his palms on his face as he sighed.

Rhys didn't seem to like the fact that his question was just ignored so he repeated it again but with double the anger in his tone.

"So, again, why was that crazy chick causing damage to MY room?"

Orion saw Rhys's annoyed expression and he grimaced.

Good thing Irizo knew better than to let Greia stay. Who knew what Rhys would do to her if Irizo didn't have his quick thinking.

"Just some love quarrel on those two. But it seems like Irizo finally had the backbone to take it elsewhere."

Orion held out his hand for Arian to hand over the axe. Arian hurled it at him at full force and Inna was about to squeak in panic when Orion caught it by its handle without even flinching. Then, Orion uttered some words before stas.h.i.+ng the axe in his brown spatial pouch while grumbling.

"Good heavens if only he took her away sooner rather than cowering by the corner, it wouldn't have to end up like this. I swear, on the field, he's merciless but when it comes to her, he becomes a wimp in an instant."

Inna couldn't help but feel bad when she saw Orion grumbling to himself. The stress waves he was emitting was so strong that it seemed to affect the other men in the room too, except for Rhys, the guy keeping her hostage.

Rhys once again peered at his damaged room and he clicked his tongue in distaste. Still not letting go of Inna, he held out his hand and he began to cast a spell.

"Figere. Fixus. Fixare. Corrigere."

A shower of golden particles started to pour out from Rhys's hand and as it touched the broken pieces of the floor and of the room across, it started to make things float and fix itself. When the whole area was fixed, the golden particles slowly dissolved into nothing.

And Inna couldn't help but look at the disappearing particles with awe.

That was so lit!

She never saw that kind of sparkly fixing spell that can fix a broken wall so fast.

If only she can learn that spell, then she wouldn't be reprimanded again and again by Ulima for every little thing that she breaks.

In an instant, everything was fixed as though it was never damaged in the first place. Satisfied with his work, Rhys planned to return Inna back to Raghnall when he noticed something very disturbing about Orion's room.

"Onion, why is there a huge gaping hole in the wall connecting your room and the guest room?"

Inna reddened immediately at the mention of it.

f.u.c.k, guess he wasn't able to fix it because he didn't see it.

Orion and the rest of the guys instinctively looked at Inna before coughing awkwardly to try and stop themselves from laughing.

Rhys saw the action and looked at Inna suspiciously. His grip on her shoulder tightened as he asked.

"Care to explain?"

Inna squirmed as she tried to get away from Rhys's tightening grip.

"Ow, you're hurting me, you brute. Just let go and I'll speak okay?"

Rhys held wariness in his eyes but he softened his grip lightly before whispering.

"Not a chance. You're obviously going to run away."

Sensing the waves of distrust from him, Inna hissed between her teeth as she replied in a low voice that only Rhys could hear.

"I won't. It's just that it's so weird sticking close to someone you literally just met a few moments ago. And speaking of moments ago, I'm still p.i.s.sed at you for letting go of the rope, you a.s.shole."

Rhys chuckled at the unexpected ferocity of her tone as he slowly released her.

Truthfully, he never expected her to be so… wild.

Like a tiger ready to lash out at anyone that ever crosses it.

What he actually expected was the usual characteristic of a female magic-user he was used to seeing: feminine, sn.o.bby, and delicate.

But she was nowhere near any of the three.

At the same time, Inna rubbed the part where he had gripped the hardest, trying to check if she'll have a bruise later on.

Then, after confirming that no bruise would form, she crossed her arms as she faced Rhys with a twitching eyebrow. She spoke through gritted teeth and broken phrases trying but failing to prevent the annoyance she still felt to seep out of her words.

"I got lost. Went in here. Heard a loud bang. Was curious. Decided to check. Accidentally slipped. Face went flat on the wall. Wall ripped. Head went through. End of story."

Despite the lack of words she used to describe the story, Rhys still laughed hard as he imagined the scenario. He finally understood why the men around him were trying to suppress their laughter.

And although she felt annoyed, Inna's ears still reddened when she heard his laugh. In a flash, she swiftly sat down on the ground and bent her knees as she buried her face in her hands to avoid them seeing her turn into a full blown tomato.

Rhys looked at her turning red. He couldn't help but find it amusing so he was unable to control the small laugh that unknowingly came out.

Seeing Inna desperately trying to hide her redness, Orion and the guys finally couldn't help but release a small laugh at her cuteness as well as they sat near her.

Orion slowly patted Inna's head as he ended his laugh with a smile.

"I guess even an expert can be clumsy at times too."

Hearing the word 'expert,' Inna instinctively looked up. Her embarra.s.sment was now momentarily replaced by confusion.

"Expert?"

Orion looked at her with an eyebrow raised as he continued patting her head.

"Aren't you? I mean, you must be an exceptional tutor to even have the great and almighty Rhys as your student, huh?"

Orion whispered to Inna as he chuckled. Rhys overheard what he said and he secretly smiled as he came up with a small plan in his head. He spoke with mischief hidden in his tone all the while looking at Inna with an innocent smile.

"Well, she's veeeery talented, indeed."

Feeling that something was wrong with the way he said it, Inna suspiciously looked at Rhys as she tried to decipher the hidden message in his tone.

What in the actual f.u.c.k is this guy planning now?

Rhys seemed unaffected by her wary gaze. Instead, his smile seemed to widen by the second as he continued to speak.

"She's a really great and talented teacher! An expert of all experts! If you wish, do you want me to lend her to you?"

Inna gritted her teeth as she tried to weasel herself out of the weird direction the conversation seemed to be going.

"Ha,ha,ha. This guy is so funny and generous with his praises. Ha,ha,ha. I don't deserve such words to be said to me. Ha, ha, ha. Truly generous, indeed. "

Inna found the right moment to pat Rhys's head harshly, discreetly applying as much force as she can, before continuing with her facade.

"But, we should get going, no?"

G.o.d only knows what will happen if she stayed any longer.
