Chereads / Pyromaniac (WSA Special) / Chapter 16 - Asmodeus

Chapter 16 - Asmodeus

The powerful boom of my fist connecting with the punching bag echoed throughout the gym.

I imagined it was the face of Azrael and it fueled my anger. Blood was soaking through my bandaged knuckles but I barely felt the pain.

It was just like him to underestimate me in front of everyone. He should just go ahead and adopt Eurynome at this point.

I imagined the punching bag was Eurynome's pig face. My powers were so much better than that good-for-nothing spoiled brat. All he knew was how to manipulate shadows.

He wasn't even special. But no, he was good enough for Azrael. Náli was stupid just because she was a girl. She could burn Eurynome to ashes within a second but that didn't matter, Eurynome was still better.

I rested my head against the punching bag, glaring at nothing in particular. My power was flickering in and out of focus because of my anger. If I wasn't careful, the entire gym would go up in flames. Thankfully, the building was spell-proof so the only damage would be to the other demons in the room.

My breathing was heavy but I'd know that cold voice anywhere, 'Surprising seeing you here.'

I snapped my head towards him, my eyes were narrowed to slits as I spit out, 'What? Just because I'm a girl?'

Asmodeus shrugged in a nonchalant manner, 'I guess.'

I ground my teeth as he started running on the machine next to me. I was about to blast him to pieces when he said, 'I'm a girl too so..'

I blinked in confusion, my anger fading away. He- or, well, she probably noticed my expression and side, 'It's easier to get away with anything when you're a guy.'

But I was still contemplating something, 'Girl- like, biologically or pronouns?'

'Biologically.' I raised my eyebrows.

'But I don't understand why..' I trailed off then shook my head, saying, 'Nevermind.'
