Angry beetle

"...Can you ignore the law that prevents me from using more than a thousand soul units at a time?" Robin's eyes blazed with hatred and a burning intent to kill as he locked his gaze on Helen.

Robin did not need the planetary spirit's sympathy. He had already realized Helen's position —and his own— within mere moments.

He undoubtedly understood what she meant. He realized just how insignificant he was in her eyes—just a mere beetle in the eyes of a human... But what was wrong with that?

What was the problem if she tried to recruit the winning beetle to her side?

What was wrong with showing a little respect for the winning beetle?

Even if he didn't fight for her, at the very least, he wouldn't kill all the other beetles she was betting on!

Even if he brought her no gain, he wouldn't take away all her profits from the beetle arena!

And yet, she chose to belittle him, to act as though his very existence was a joke.
