All the students started to walk towards the arena in the middle of the school. It was a small arena, but it was enough for the school and its students. All the students lined up and started to get their numbers from Miss Raven, who was standing at the front. When Damian got to the front, he noticed the strained look on Isabella's face as she looked at him. " 21," said Isabella. Damian decided not to cause too much trouble in one day and went on his way.
The fights started shortly after, and many people got injured. Finally, it was Damian's turn. He walked to the arena and saw that he was up against Lucas, who loved to bully him inside school if he even looked towards Alice.
' System, show me his stats ' All Damian heard in response was a sigh, and then a screen appeared before him.
{ Lucas Novelle }
{ HP 300/300 }
{ Rank - C }
{ Strength - 29 }
{ Endurance - 30 }
{ Intelligence - 25 }
{ Agility - 24 }
{ Charisma - 18 }
' Not too bad. If I surprise him with my ability, I should be able to win this easily ' Damian was already thinking about how to defeat him and what kind of face he would make when his arm went up in flames. Miss Raven stood on the edge of the arena " 3! 2! 1! GO " she shouted before slightly retreating to watch the match.
Lucas immediately condensed his fireball spell into a whip. He attacked Damian while trying to tie the whip around his waist, seemingly wanting to drag him down. Damian ducked under the whip quickly and dashed towards Lucas, dodging the spells being shot out towards him.
Lucas thought something was off about Damian today and decided to go on the defence and make a wall of fire around him. Thinking he was safe for a second, Lucas caught his breath before seeing what seemed to be a demon approaching him through his firewall. Damian grabbed onto his arm then muttered " incinerate ". Lucas could feel his arm start to burn up with immense pain; Damian tried to hold him again but was stopped by Isabella grabbing his forearm, almost crushing his bones.
" That's enough for today's lesson. Everybody who is injured should go to the nurse to get healed. If you are fine, you are free to go home! " Isabella screamed throughout the arena.
Damian stared daggers at the slave that dared to touch him without permission and thought some rules were in order; he whispered into her ear, "Touch me again like that and ill burn you from the inside out, then watch you weep for mercy; now fuck off". Isabella was scared but infuriated by his remarks, so she quickly let go and walked away.
Alice came up to Damian after the match was finished. She seemed so happy that she would explode and grabbed his hand. " YOU HAVE AN ABILITY!!! " Alice screamed while shaking his hand up and down. Damian slipped from her grasp " Don't yell in my ear, it's annoying ". Damian looked at Alice and was surprised to see her wearing makeup for the first time " Why are you wearing makeup today? I've never seen you wear it at all ".
Alice began to blush " Uh, um, you know, I just thought it was cool "Damian stared at her in response " Cool? Looks pretty to me, but you do what you want, Alice " he proceeded to walk away after thinking about how he was going to punish his new slave. Alice stood still, processing what had just happened to her.' Did he just call me pretty? No, he couldn't if there was no way he would ever say that about me '.
Alice thought back to what he had said mere moments before: ' No, he definitely said I was pretty, THAT'S IT, MAKEUP ONLY FROM TODAY ON ' After Alice got home, she immediately spent hours on different makeup styles and thousands of dollars on different brands trying to find the perfect one.
It was 7:00pm when Damian walked into his house after eating out. Damian didn't see anybody else around and ' would've gone out to have dinner then '. Damian got out his phone and messaged Isabella * What's your address? *. Isabella got out of the shower and dried her hair before gracefully wearing a night robe over herself. She picked up her phone and saw she had a message from someone. As soon as she opened it, she started to panic and respond quickly.
*My address is 47 Melan Drive; I apologise for not responding immediately; I was in the shower. I apologize *. Damian checked his phone to see if he finally got a text back after half an hour, so he responded * Can't blame you for that; I'm coming over *.
Damian immediately got up from his bed and walked outside, looking for the address on his map: ' 40 minutes away bloody hell, I'll just call a taxi'. Five minutes later, a taxi pulled up to the curb, and Damian got inside and listened to music on the ride.
Damian stood outside a medium-sized mansion, ogling at the sight of where his teacher lived. He opened the gate at the front and walked through the garden, observing all the flowers around him. ' It's quite beautiful, well maintained as well, 'he said. The sound of a door opening alerted Damian, and he turned to his right to see Isabella standing in the doorway, looking at him.
He started walking towards the doorway, and just as he got in front of his slave, he gave her a hard punch right to the stomach " That's for daring to touch my wrist in training. Now get up and take me to your room before you get punished more ". Isabella guided her master to her room, dreading that she had signed that contract. Even if it did eventually help her, she still hated her master.
Damian could feel the cold aura around Isabella but didn't care. When they entered her room, he sat on her bed and signed for Isabella to kneel before me, which she reluctantly did. He thought about what to say and decided, " Tonight, we will lay down some rules."
