Shirt stripped away, soaked, curled up on the cold floor.
Epione.
I removed my blazer as I stepped forward.
But a girl blocked my path.
Her crimson eyes locked onto mine, daring me.
I exhaled sharply, forcing down the rage bubbling beneath my skin.
My blood boiled.
My mind was already calculating how to kill them.
How to make them disappear.
"Move."
I said, my voice barely containing my anger.
The girl tilted her head, silver hair cascading to one side. "And if I don't?"
Epione stirred, her gaze meeting mine for a fleeting second before she curled up tighter, as if trying to disappear.
"I won't say it another time." I snarled, glaring at the girl blocking my path. "Move."
She leaned in slightly. "Or what? What are you going to do—"
A blade of condensed mana formed in my hand.
I slashed.
Not deep enough to kill.
