39 Return of the Red Head

"You were with Jayden! Right?!"

\'Here we go again,\' Moby thought with a sigh.

"Didn\'t we have this conversation? I told you already! I\'m completely fine! You don\'t need to worry about me to this extent! You\'re not my mom and I\'m not a disabled child that needs to be looked after every second of my life!" Moby said in evident annoyance.

"I\'m sorry, but I have a feeling she is doing something bad to you. You don\'t even come to eat with us at lunch anymore! I\'m just trying to help you out! I promise I will try my best to help you! I know she must be forcing and threatening you to stay quiet!" Alex said with a firm resolve.

"Please, just drop the matter. I told you I\'m fine. Sorry if I\'m a little grumpy right now. Today was very tiring for me," Moby said as he headed straight to his bed.

"Goodnight," Moby said as he went into his bed, closing his eyes.

\'Moby! don\'t worry! I?promise! I will save you!! I won\'t let things end like they did last time! I\'ve changed from back then! I promised myself that things will end differently this time!\' Alex said to himself.

*****************

6 am. The next day.

Moby woke up before both his dorm mates, as usual, and did his normal morning routine. He spent his 3 stat points all on agility, raising it from 103 to 106.

The time was only 7 when he finished taking his shower after he finished his daily quest.

Moby always used this time to try to level up his skills. He had been alternating between "Demon Flash" and "Eyes of Sin" every day as he sees them as the most useful skills in his repertoire.

Even though he had been training the skills for hours every day, they had yet to level up even once.

Moby was used to long and extreme training that yielded little to no results so the skills taking a long time to level up did not bother him in the slightest.

It took him his whole life to learn the "Demon Flash" and "Demon Slash" and in only 1 week, he was able to learn so many more new skills and abilities.

Moby practiced his skills until 7:30 when he left his dorm heading towards the school.

He ignored the usual murderous or envious glares from every male student in his way. And he walked right by the all-female students looking at him. Ignoring the few that stared at him admiring his good looks and the many that were looking at him in disgust.

The time was 7:50 when Moby finally reached his class.

As soon as he entered, his eyes fell on a certain person that had not attended class for the past week.

Abby Reid is back.

However, this did not mean that Moby can just get careless. He still needs to keep his guard up at all times in case she tries to attempt something on him.

If so, then Moby would have to resort to drastic measures to ensure the safety of him and his secret.

As soon as Abby saw Moby enter the room, she immediately rushed over to him.

"Moby Kane. We need to talk. Privately," She said with a smile in a voice loud enough for the entire class to hear.

As soon as the class heard what Abby said, rumours started to spread like wildfire.

"What the hell does the fire princess want from Moby Dick?"

"Is she trying to steal Jayden Griffith\'s pet! This will be juicy!"

"Why is Moby Dick getting all the hot bitches. He\'s not even that good looking!"

Moby was expecting something like this would happen so he was not at all surprised.

"Sure thing!" Moby replied back with a smile of his own.

"Follow me, we still have 10 minutes before the start of class and we have much to discuss," She said in a serious tone.

Moby nodded at her in understanding.

Moby followed her as she left the class and headed to an empty hallway.

"So, what was that you wanted to discuss? If you are wondering how I defeated you, I promise it was complete luck," Moby said with a hint of worry and embarrassment in his eyes.

"Cut the crap! I already know your secret! It was definitely not by luck! You think I wouldn\'t notice!" Abby said in an extremely serious tone.

\'Fuck! Did she really figure me out just from our one small exchange?! I need to quickly find a way to take her out before it\'s too late!\' Moby inwardly cursed his bad luck as he started to panic.

"There is no way a normal human would be able to defeat me, even if I did not have the use of my ability,"

"There is only one logical explanation."

Moby could no longer hide the genuine distress in his face, as you can see him sweating profusely at the naked eye.

"You are an ancient martial arts master!" She blurted in excitement.

"Don\'t worry, I still haven\'t told this to anyone else. Your secret is safe with me!" She said with a smile.

Moby\'s head was spinning in full gear from what he just heard. He was expecting to hear the worst. Instead, he heard the exact opposite.

Luckily, she had no memories of Moby\'s nightmare skill that he had used on her in order to win their fight.

\'Thank you Satan for your kindness and generosity!\' Moby thought.

\'Who the hell is Satan?? I heard you mention him before and I also ended up quite confused. I\'m very intrigued,\' Avilia asked in confusion.

\'He\'s like the most prevalent devil mankind knows,\' Moby replied to Avilia.

\'Never heard of him, he was most likely born after I was sealed. That is probably why I don\'t recognize him. Or maybe, he is not even real and he is just a character humans created,\' Avilia said.

\'Yes, that could very well be true,\' Moby replied.

Moby\'s and Avilia\'s conversation lasted less than a split second so it did not interfere with his conversation with Abby.

"Shit! You really did find me out! I appreciate you not spreading the news and telling me first. But I know that is not the reason you called me out here all of a sudden. Right?" Moby asked with his best poker face.

"You are correct for assuming that. To tell you the truth, I want to ask you for a favour." Abby asked with a slightly red face.

"What is it? I\'m all ears!" Moby said with a smile.

"Can you please train me in martial arts! My skills are very lacking in that field. I must get as strong as possible to defeat a certain someone. I will do absolutely anything to get stronger, no matter the cost! I will be eternally grateful if you agree to train me! I promise to properly compensate you for your troubles." Abby said with a deep bow.

Moby was not expecting her to act so nice to him even to the point of bowing. Moby still had doubts about her intentions but, getting close to her will give him an easier chance to kill her if she ends up betraying him.

If he declines her offer, then, he would risk making enemies with a powerful, and influential person like her which he does not want.

After careful thinking and consideration, he made up his mind. He had thought about a full proof perfect plan to turn this situation into a success.

"I will take you up on your offer! I promise to teach you martial arts. But don\'t forget about my reward!" Moby said with a chuckle.

"Really! You\'ll do it! Thank you so much! And don\'t worry! I never break my promises! You will be properly rewarded for your efforts!" She said, with a smile.

"Meet me at the Jasmine Gorgan tea shop today after school to start our training. Don\'t be late!" Moby with a heartwarming smile.

Moby ideally wanted somewhere secluded where no one could see them like a dark alley since the forest is off-limits. But, if he did it might seem too suspicious.

"Yes! Of course!" She replied feeling excited.

"Oh shit! Look at the time! We gotta dip!" Moby said as he checked the time.

It was already 7:58, so they only had 2 minutes to get to class before it starts.

When they had both made it back to class, the entire class started to talk about Moby and Abby once again.

Although most of them were whispering. Moby was still able to hear them like they were sitting right next to them.

"She looks happier than usual!?"

"Ya! I see it too! Maybe she made him do something sexual!"

"Jayden Griffith won\'t be happy about this! Knowing her, she would probably kill Abby!"

"I would pay good money to see a fight between them!"

Suddenly. Professeur Leo entered the room putting an end to all the whispers in the class. They had yet to recover from seeing him get mad during practice so they were still very much fearful of him.

"Good morning class. I have important news to share with all of you! Next month, you will be having an exam. It will be the first of five exams that you will have this year. You will be put into balanced teams. Each team\'s average total power level per member will be around the same making it a fairer experience for all. You will finally be hunting your first magical beasts!" Leo said with an excited looking smile.
