CHAPTER 32

***WORTHY OPPONENT***

On his way to the healing ward, Clair approached him. "Hey". She called out to him. Chen turned around, staring at her with an indifferent manner. " thanks for your jacket, it helped me escape the eyes of perverts". Clair thanked him. Chen nodded his head before entering the ward. Meanwhile outside the ward, Clair stood with an irritated expression. "Why the hell is he acting so indifferent, he was nice the next minute and bang, indifferent the next". Clair thought. She marched angrily to her room. Damian came across Clair on the way. " hey, do you know where Chen is?". Damian asked her. "How the heck am i suppose to know?". She asked, pissed by this question. " ohh, i thought you guys were a thing already, seeing the way he handed you his favourite jacket...". He was cut off by Clair. " Don't you dare habour such thoughts ever again, we are not and will never become a thing". Clair warned him while breathing heavily. Damian nodded his head in agreement. "I'll probably find him myself". Damian said moving forward. " wait, he's in the healing ward". Clair said and ran off. "Hehehe". Damian gave an evil chuckle turning around to tease Clair but she was nowhere to be found. Damian shrugged and walked into the ward. Damiam found Chen being checked by the healer. " You are okay, initially you were worn out a little but now you can go". The healer released him. Chen turned around and saw Damian standing by the door post. "Hey buddy, what are you doing here?". Damian asked. " obviously, i'm here to check up on you". Damian replied him. "Thanks buddy". Chen said with a smile. " why do you have to be so handsome?". Damian fumed."hey, you aren't bad looking yourself". Chen said to Damian. They both were about to leave the roon when a weak voice called. "Hey, you will pay for what you did". Turning around, they found the voice to belong to no other than Jerry. Chen marched towards him. " you fought well, Jerry. In fact i respect you as my opponent". Chen praised sincerely. Jerry eyes watered. "No, you don't mean it, you're lying". Jerry screamed. " believe me, Jerry, you fought well". Chen repeated his words."and for your hammer, I'll get you a new one since i'm responsible for it shattering". Chen promised, guilt evident in his voice before leaving the room. Damian waited for him outside. "Have you sold our loot from killing the porcupine earlier". Chen asked. " No, lets go there together". Damian replied. Both friends went together to see the academy's blacksmith.
