chapter 12: Reoul

Mina stood there dumbfounded by the sight she just witnessed, "They turned into stone!!" She yelled, her mouth agape.

'Why are you so shocked, isn't it your skill?' some people in the audience thought blankly.

"So I won?!" Mina smiled as she looked at the battle announcer with expectant eyes.

"Technically yeah, since no one is left standing for you to fight as your next opponent, you're the winner!" The middle-aged woman announced for all the audience to hear, but the audience just watched in silence, confused by the strange power they just witnessed.

"I hope they aren't dead," Mina mumbled to herself as she watched Hyun who had also turned into stone.

"Yes I hope they aren't either," the middle-aged woman added, nervously looking at the frozen participant

"Can I have the price money?" Mina asked the middle-aged woman with sparkling eyes.

"Well you will receive 30 gold coins," a slim man wearing a suit came to Mina and handed her a brown bag.

"That's not so bad," Mina grinned as she felt the weight of the bag.

"And a vampire servant," the man added, and Mina looked at him dumbfounded.

"What why did I receive a servant??!!" She yelled frantically as she looked at him pulling someone whose head was covered with a brown bag. The fair-skinned servant was tall and was a bit on the muscular side. But Mina noticed his clothes were a bit dirty and his body was filled with some scars. His handles were shackled by my metal cuffs and so were his feet.

Mina frowned, seeing this sight, and noticed a square with a triangle in the middle of his palms. 'A slave.'

"We you defeated all the competitors and this battle the reward is high, so you receive this young vampire servant," the man smiled and handed a black and blue stone to Mina.

"We don't want the slave or servant!" Kai growled and took the chains from Mina's hands.

'When did he get here?' Mina thought and immediately noticed an uneasy expression on Kai's face.

"Then I guess we would just kill him then since he has no use to us anymore," the slim man said with a cold tone.

"Why kill him, just sell him to someone else?" Mina asked nervously. 'That murderous aura I felt. He was really going to kill him.'

"No one wants him and when he sells him, he attacks his masters. But since you can turn someone into stone, I'm sure you can handle him. He might even be of use for the upcoming sect trials," the man explained with a smile.

"How can they think of taking a life away so easily?!" Mina gritted her teeth as glared at him with her purple eyes, which caused him to tremble a bit.

"Fine, I'll take him!!" Mina declared as she held Kai's hand and looked at him with pleading eyes.

Kai pursed his lips, but seeing Mina's determined look, he reluctantly sighed and nodded in agreement.

"If he's a servant, why are you giving him to me as though he's a slave?" Mina questioned.

"He is a slave, but a more trained one. That's why he's a servant. Here's his slave stone, just tap it," the man handed Mina the stone, and she did as he asked. In a few seconds, the stone turned into light and seeped into her hand.

"What just happened?" Mina asked curiously.

"Now he's officially your slave. If he disrespects you can punish him with just a thought," the slim man pointed to his brain and Mina gulped.

Mina: "I see I see."

"I'm glad you like him," the smiled happily before leaving.

As Mina and Kai were about to leave, the middle-aged woman who announced the battle tapped on her shoulder and asked, Could you please unstone them?

Mina looked at her and gave a nervous smile, and she pondered deeply on how to reverse the spell and heard a light whisper in her ear, "Say love beam retract."

Mina turned around to see who it was, but she found no one there and frowned. She then pointed her finger at the participants and said the same words the voice told her.

"Love beam retract!" Mina said, and a bright purple light covered the participants who slowly returned back to normal. Once they returned to normal, they all gasped for breath and stared at her nervously.

"Well that's our cue to leave," Mina said and immediately grabbed Kai's hand and the slave's hand and sprinted away.

"I don't want to keep him," Kai crossed his arms and growled. He looked at a young man eating a hot bun like though he hadn't eaten in a day. The young man was as tall as Kai and had beautiful short blue hair and a pair of mesmerizing red eyes.

"Well I couldn't watch him get killed. Is there a way to give a slave their freedom?" Mina asked and rubbed her wrist. She remembered when she was transformed into a succubus, the mark on her wrist disappeared.

"Only high rank disciples of sects can do that," Kai replied as he eyed the slave.

"Then we become high rank disciple and give him his freedom," Mina grabbed Kai's hand and beamed, "I know what it is like to not have any freedom," Mina gripped his hand as her expression turned gloomy.

Noticing something was up, Kai sighed and patted her on her head, which surprised her, 'I shall wait for when she wants to tell me more about herself.' he thought before looking at the vampire slave.

"Okay then," he nodded and Mina smiled again, pleased by his response.

"It's late already!" Mina exclaimed as she looked up at the sky to see the two suns slowly setting.

"We better find a room then," Kai said, and Mina nodded.

"Let's go to an inn," Mina suggested, and Kai nodded.

"A room with Mina, sounds nice," Kai mumbled silently with a flushed face.

"First off, what's your name?" Mina turned to the slave who was done eating his food.

"It's Reoul," he answered dully.

"Well Reoul we better buy you new clothes," Mina said as she removed the chains on him with her extended nails which shrunk back once she was done. She then grabbed his hand and led him forward.

"I've got money to spend," she snickered mischievously as she waved her brown bag with pride.

"There's no need, I'm fine with this," Reoul refuted and Mine huffed. "I said I'm buying you clothes!"
