[Chapter 126]
David had nowhere to go after leaving the building, nor did he want to return to the classroom, so he went to the tiny forest beside the sports field and stared blankly at the students on the sports field, sweating buckets.
He thought about his experience for the past half a month. It was truly like a dream.
Initially a pauper, his life was turned around because of a system.
He did not realize how long it had been. A crisp and clear voice rang out beside David's ear. "Are you David?" David turned his head to look.
Luna?
What was she doing here looking for him?
Nevertheless, he replied, "Yeah!"
"Do you know Zachary?" Luna asked again.
"Sort of!"
"Are you friends?"
"Enemies!"
"Oh? Those who can qualify as Zachary's enemy are no ordinary people! It's no wonder Howard is so afraid of you!"
"You're wrong! I am an ordinary person!"
Luna did not dwell on this issue and asked, "Do you want to join the martial arts club?"
"I wanted to initially, but I don't want to join anymore!"
"Why?" "Why should I join when I can't learn anything?" David returned the question.
Luna was a little angry after hearing David's reply.
If David looked down on the martial arts club, was he not also looking down on her as the club president then?
"You think the martial arts club is just a girl fight?"
"Are there perhaps any real talents then? Didn't you say it yourself that it is too late to practice martial arts now?"
"Since Howard is so afraid of you, David, and since you see Zachary as your enemy, I believe you're pretty strong, right? Want to join the martial arts club as the vice president?" Luna invited him.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested. Maybe you should find someone else!" David replied.
"David, I've been privately appointed to be Zachary's wife, so since you're enemies with him, don't you want to piss him off? Or maybe embarrass him?"
David turned to look at Luna.
This chick must be out of her mind!
'What do I have to do with you not wanting to marry him?
'Are you trying to use me as a gun? Or to use me as an excuse?
I'm not a fool!
This will bite back at him someday.
He merely won once by a fluke.
If he had to compare himself to Zachary, he lagged way behind!
David gave no reply.
He stood up straight away instead.
Luna was a little confused by David's actions.
Were they not enemies?
She thought she would be able to get David to join the club by saying that.
It would be interesting to see if Howard would continue to interfere if that happened.
Besides, based on Howard's reaction earlier, David was at least equal to Zachary, right?
If Zachary turned up, this would be a fierce battle between evenly-matched opponents, and it would be perfect if ended up being a lose-lose situation.
Seeing that David was about to leave, Luna immediately launched an attack at David out of desperation.
In her opinion, David had be good at fighting. Besides, she did not use all of her strength, so David should be able to block her attack.
On one hand, she wanted to test David's skills.
On the other hand, she wanted to show David that the martial arts club was not merely girl fights. It actually carried weight.
David had just walked past Luna when he felt a gush of wind behind him.
Was someone attacking him?
His senses were extremely keen at that moment.
It happened so abruptly, whereas David was not very skilled at controlling his own powers.
Hence all the strength in his body burst out uncontrollably. It was done completely out of instinct.
Judging from his powers at that moment, a complete outburst could be absolutely terrifying.
All Luna felt was the aura of David gushing at her like a ferocious storm. She felt like a flat boat in the sea, at risk of being swallowed by the giant waves at any time.
Astonished, Luna had yet to react when a broad hand clenched her fair and slender neck like an iron pincer!
Luna felt suffocated; she wanted to cry!
David quickly snapped back to his senses and hurriedly let go when he saw himself gripping Luna's neck.
Luna covered her neck and squatted on the floor coughing vigorously. Her tears flowed like a broken dam.
David stood there awkwardly!
What he did in that very moment was completely out of instinct!
Blame this chick for attacking him without any warning!
How could he be blamed?
No way!
After standing for a while, David finally squatted down and gently patted Luna's back, hoping to help her feel slightly comfortable.
After one or two minutes, Luna finally eased up and stopped coughing.
She turned around to look at David, her beautiful heart-shaped face and mesmerizing big eyes were red.
"Um… I didn't mean it, Ms. Luna! I didn't know you would attack me from behind! I did so out of instinct!"
David said a little awkwardly.
...
"Are you saying that this is entirely my fault? If you had killed me earlier, that I was the one asking for it?" Luna asked in a slightly hoarse voice, no longer as crisp and clear as before.
Was that not the case?
Though David dared not say that.
"No! No! I overreacted! It's my fault! My fault!" David replied.
"Since it's your fault, what do you suggest we do? You could've killed me if you gripped a little harder just now. I was just trying to tell you that the martial arts club isn't just a girl fight. I wasn't even trying to hurt you."
"What do you want then?" David asked.
"Join the martial arts club as vice president and agree to one condition!" Luna said.
David thought about it and said, "I can join the martial arts club, but I will not agree to your condition. Am I supposed to die if you ask me to?"
"Don't worry, it will not be against your own will. You can choose to do it or not. I'm fine with it even if you choose not to do it!"
"Really?"
"Mm hmm!"
"Alright then! But I will say this first! I will choose whether or not to do it according to my own will!"
"Sure! Deal!" Luna said with a smile.
David looked at Luna's smile and figured that he might have fallen for it.
Though it was true that if he had clenched a little harder just now, this gorgeous lady would have died.
It seemed like he had to learn how to control his power as soon as possible!
David left because some students were starting to notice what was going on. He did not want others to look at him like a clown.
Luna watched as David left.
Although she was still a little stunned, there was now a charming smile on her face.
