Focus Chapter 88

Early in the morning, Dyon woke up feeling refreshed . He stretched lazily, enjoying the feeling of his revitalized bones cracking .

As he did everyday, he checked his communication device to read Madeleine's messages, but, he was surprised to find 3 days worth .

'I've been out for that long, huh? Guess I missed the assessment . Oh well . '

Dyon didn't care too much, this just gave him more time to cultivate and gain an understanding of his manifestation . It had been days, yet even he didn't know what it looked like . He had been too exhausted to manifest it after its initial reveal .

What Dyon didn't know is that the only reason the Elvin City had no idea where the manifestation originated from, was because 2 manifestations had occurred that night . One for Dyon, and the other for Zaltarish . Aside from the school elders, no one but Jade was aware that someone in their school had recently manifested a soul . Or, more accurately, they knew that it had occurred, but, assumed most of the commotion was as a result of Zaltarish .

Dyon's good mood wouldn't be ruined by something like that . Until, at least, he read one of Madeleine's messages . It was about Meiying and Chenglei . It seemed that the Bai family had gone through with the wedding .

Although Dyon didn't have much of an impression of Meiying, he still didn't like the idea of a girl marrying into a family she wanted no part of . And that was especially true considering the sinister nature of the Daiyu family . But, there was nothing Dyon could do . The deed was already done .

Dyon sighed, 'it looks like I can't save everyone…'

As Dyon was lost in his thoughts, a furious banging came to his door .

BANG BANG

Dyon smiled bitterly, 'looks like this day won't be so peaceful . '

Dyon opened the door to find an innocent looking Ri, as though she had never cause a noise that reverberated through the whole floor . She blushed slightly when she noticed Dyon was only wearing low sagging sweat pants, but quickly recovered in typical Ri fashion .

Leaning against the door frame, Dyon smiled, "what brings you here today, beautiful?"

Ri glared at Dyon . He had been here for enough days to know better than to say that, but he still did it . Ri lifted he hand high above her head and flicked Dyon's forehead, "the only one who can call me beautiful is Little Lyla . Don't think of trying, or else, hmph . "

Dyon rubbed his forehead in slight pain, but his smile only widened as he scanned Ri's perfect body . He didn't know what it was about her, but something seemed so out of this world . Despite her regular appearance, the depth of her eyes and the shimmer of her hair was unmatched by anything Dyon had ever seen before . Only Madeleine's eyes were comparable, and that was only when Dyon took off her glasses .

Ri ignored Dyon's gaze, instead looking down at the device in his hand with a raised eyebrow, "what is that?"

Dyon looked down as well, "this? It's just a communication device from the human world . "

Ri looked up at Dyon inquisitively, "who are you communicating with?"

Dyon grinned, "jealous?"

Ri sent a palm at Dyon's chest . But, her eyes widened in surprised as she found he didn't fly back like he usually pretended to . She could only blush as she noticed her hand had been in place for a second too long .

Dyon's free hand touched hers, "my fiancée did say I could marry more women, what do you say?"

Ri blushed more fiercely, but pulled her hand back looking at Dyon with an adorable anger, "you have a fiancée and you dare say these things? Disgusting," Ri crossed her arms, glaring at Dyon in distaste .

Dyon smiled, pleasantly surprised that the demonic will he constantly leaked imperceptibly was having no effect on Ri . He liked that idea .

"So, what did you come for? You ditch me for more than a week, then come back like this? Don't you think you owe me an apology?"

Ri harrumphed, "I don't owe a pervert anything . Put on a shirt you exhibitionist . My father was very disappointed in you for missing the assessment, so you'll have to make up for it today . "

Dyon scratched his head awkwardly . He did feel a bit bad about that, but it really wasn't in his control .

But then, he thought of something, "how am I supposed to make up for it?"

Ri shrugged, her cropped armor lifting her chest up and drawing Dyon's eyes, "he just said to show up to the upper year's assessment . "

Dyon looked intrigued, "upper year? Will you be participating?"

Ri looked up at Dyon almost like she was looking down at him, "why would I need to participate in something so ridiculous? Assessments are for regular people, like you," she said with a wide smile .

Dyon laughed . He knew this wouldn't be as simple as Ri was making it out to be . Something she'd know had she seen his manifestation .

Dyon's hand flashed as a white shirt appeared in his hand . Unknown to Ri, a formation appeared beneath both of their feet, carrying them off into the air .
