Evan walked toward Anastasia, who had returned not long after he began his breakthrough to Rank Four. However, she had remained near the entrance of the training room, making sure not to disturb him.
"Done?" Anastasia asked as she saw him finally stepping out of the training room.
"Hmm," Evan nodded and to Anastasia's surprise, he suddenly pulled her into a hug.
Just as she was starting to suspect that her earlier assault had awakened a new attribute in him—
Pah!
"Hiss!"
A loud slap echoed through the air, followed by the sound of a dragon woman sucking in a breath from the stinging pain.
Anastasia instantly jumped away from Evan, rubbing her buttocks as she looked at him in disbelief.
"What the hell are you doing?!" She shouted while using her power to ease the sharp sting.
