Chapter 26 - Fallen

"So, What kind of spell you used on me?" Asher Eli asked curiously.

"Hmmm..." Lily and Adria looked at each other and send a mental message,

['Should we tell him?'] Adria.

['I don't think so, Let's wait for the time being, and from now on I will speak with him'] Lily.

"It shows them their darkest thoughts and slowly corrupts them" Lily said while starting to increase her mana output very slowly.

"That's a terrifying spell...hmm...just how long I have been out?" Eli thought about it, if it was used in the competition then there is no hope for him.

"Well, 5 Minutes around" Lily thought and said.

"Huh, I didn't expect that" Eli really thought for hours or so.

"I am curious, Exactly what happened?" Lily asked.

"Huh? You don't know?" Eli had a puzzled look.

"Well, that spell only put you in the dark moments and see how you handle it" Lily tried to explain.

"I see,...then my dark moments were like the answers that I said before" Eli didn't want to get into details.

"Is that so?" Lily squinted her eyes.

"Yes, and almost years passed in that place" Eli said flatly.

Lily and Adria looked at each other and nodded.

"So Eli, How's your life in Division-1?" Adria changed the topic.

Eli looked at Adria for a long and said, "Nothing much just a student life and...No more investigation".

"Haha...no more" Adria laughed.

"sigh, you two are dangerous and I feel the same vibe from Ms. Lily as I felt that day from Adria, but Ms. Lily is more dangerous, I guess" Eli sighed and continued,

"Without knowing I may pique your interest in me but I am not going after you or anything and I mean no harm to you unless you get in my way.

I hope you understand" Eli was not the same idiot as before, he clearly felt these girls were more powerful than him; they were up to something and He didn't want to involve.

"No, It's fine. We do not harm you in anyways" Lily said with a smile.

['You literally killed him just before and how can you say that with a straight face?'] Adria

Lily's eyes twitched but didn't say anything because she was wrong that time.

Adria was really curious because he knows they were stronger than him so she asked "If I get in your way, what will you do?"

'hmm, I will spank your butt little girl' he didn't say aloud and said something else, "Well, I can't anything other than fight you" with a gloomy face.

"heh" Lily laughed a little and then covered her mouth while trying hard.

Adria's expression turned dark.

Eli felt something was not right so,

"If everything is over, I can take my leave" Eli stood up but Adria caught his hand.

"Why are you so urgent to leave?" Adria asked innocently.

"Hmmm" Eli thought, 'I had been within the Division-1 for the past month. So, why not?' and asked, "If you guys aren't busy, come with me"

Lily and Adria waited a few seconds and nodded. Eli paid the bill and they walked out.

*****

"So, Mr. Eli what are we searching for?" Lily asked while walking left side of Eli and Adria on the right side.

"I searching for a weapon store. Do you know anything?" Eli answered while looking around the empty street, 'Why every street are empty?'.

"Well, we don't know the weapon store here but Nex has a private weapon store for students" Lily said.

"I see"

"What kind of weapon do you use?" Lily asked curiously.

Eli looked at Lily's curious face and said, "I am not the master of anything but I do use Trident and some new weapon".

"Where is that Trident?" Lily looked at him carefully.

"Well, I lost it when I fought against a Hero" Eli explained a little bit.

"You fought against Hero? Who?" Lily didn't hear that information from Adria.

Adria also showed her interest.

"Well, It's Kayden from...Theos?" Eli only knew Hero's name because He is not interested in anything else.

"Oh, Him" Adria spoke after a long time.

"Hmm, do you know him?" Eli asked curiously.

"I do know him. What? Are you Jealous?" Adria tried to tease him but,

Eli looked at her few seconds and said while shaking his head, "I am not, I may like your dark eyes but that's all" seriously.

Adria just want to tease him but he took it seriously and...she don't know why but she didn't like that answer.

Lily looked at Adria's annoyed face, 'She's really into him ahh' as she looked at Eli's red eyes.

"Oh, I found a shop" Eli looked at the /WEAPON SHOP/ and walked in but after a few minutes, he walked out with a frustrated look.

"That's Daylight robbery, they are asking for 400 credits for Trident and For a custom-made weapon 2000 credits, which means 1 silver = 1 credit then 2000 silvers; if I have that, I can live without worrying for the rest of my life..." Eli rumbled.

Lily and Adria scratched their head and smiled awkwardly; Adria asked, "If you don't mind.."

"It's Ok, Adria" Eli interrupted Adria and just smiled.

Adria nodded and did say anything anymore. They walked to other stores while Eli asked,

"You know, you guys know about me more but I don't know anything other than your names"

Lily thought for a second and said, "If you are that interested, ask us"

"What are you?" That's the first question, he wants to know.

"What?..ah...You may consider us Fallens" Lily said calmly.

"Fallens...ah" and he thought, 'Fallen are nothing but former humans and that's all I knew, maybe that's why I felt danger around these two' and continued his questions,

"Why did you ask that kind of question earlier?"

"We just want to know what you feel about Fallens, that's all" Lily replied with a smile.

"I see"

Eli stopped walking, turned looked at them, and said, "I may not know about Fallens but you guys are maybe good" with a hint of a sly smile.

Both Lily and Adria looked at Eli and thought, 'Good..ah?'.

"OH, I forgot to answer your one question" Eli suddenly said.

"hmm?" Both of them had questioning look.

"Ha...you asked 'why', right?....

Because I feel...nothing" Eli said firmly.
