Chapter 102: 102: Let’s Kiss. Again.


"And who the hell is that?" One of the nobles questioned.


"Is that some sort of guard or something?" Another observed.


"Guard or not, I’m still taking that wizard down!" One persisted as he got out his arrow to make another shoot.


The others followed and got out theirs to hit another.


But before they could set their arrows in there now and make a shot, Eden had instantly stepped forward.


Now standing beside Felix, he aggressively grabbed him by the hands.


Felix stiffened, looking down at the hand that held onto his own, tightly "And what do you think you’re doing?"


"Don’t ask questions. I’m helping you" Eden said.


"Huh?"


"Powers" Eden said "You need it to defend us don’t you?"


Eden couldn’t let him know that he was powerless without the touch.


And he figured that Felix was one to suspect him if he didn’t use any powers at the moment.


So he couldn’t leave any room for suspicion creep in.


He grabbed him by the hand and felt some spark of power run through his veins


It was too little. He couldn’t feel it much. And he wasn’t sure if that was enough to carry him far. But he had no alternative at the moment.


The four of them shot their arrows together, and Eden instructed "You staff"


It was an instruction given to Felix who still contemplated the fact that their hands were linked.


But he understood the message, and so he swung his staff at the direction of the upcoming arrows


A blue wave gushed from the staff and pushed these arrows away.


Amused, Felix stared at his staff "That felt good..." He muttered.


He didn’t stop there. He also waved his staff towards the young nobles who sat on their horses, staring at them in shock.


A blue wind wave struck from his staff and sent these nobles flying off their horses.


The horses let out a sharp sound and began running off, leaving the nobles on the ground.


"What the hell was that...?" The first got up to his feet, picking up his bow and arrow in defence.


They all got up as well, picking up their bows and arrows too.


They positioned it towards Eden and Felix now, in defense of themselves against these magical people.


"What should we do with them?" Felix asked.


"Just scare them" Eden said "So they’d leave us alone"


Felix hesitated and then nodded "Okay..."


He didn’t know how exactly he was supposed to do that. But he tried.


As someone who had been practicing spells and magic positioning and structures without any physical magic, this was a dream come true!


He could bring to light all that he had practiced. And so he did.


He waved his staff to the sky and waved it towards the woods. A heavy wind ensued. Brushing through the woods and approaching the young nobles in the form of a tornado.


It was a heavy one. One that could kill. And these nobles could tell.


"Let’s leave... We’re going to die if we stay here!" One pointed out, dropping his bow and arrow.


"Let’s run!" Another agreed as they began leaving.


Soon, they were all gone while Felix calmed the storm.


"Coward. That was easier than I thought" Felix said as Eden let go of his hands.


Eden was relieving his nerves from the fright of the attack while Felix stared at him. His eyes lingering around him.


Eden soon met his eyes "What are you looking at?"


"Why didn’t you kill them?" Felix asked "It’s said you always kill such people. So why didn’t you tell me to kill them?"


Eden sighed "Because I don’t want to?" He struggled as he began walking off.Felix followed.


Eden figured he had to start looking for Elvis and Lysander. That was the only way he could be truly safe in this wood.


"I figured this method is more effective than I thought" Felix said. "All we did was hold hands and I could already control such powers. As expected of my master" He expressed.


Eden didn’t reply, at least not immediately.


"Why don’t we stick to holding hands? I think it also has effects" Felix offered.


Eden stopped walking and now turned to look up at Felix who also stopped.


"Come" Eden gestured at him to lean closer. He was too tall.


"What?" Felix was confused.


"Bring your face closer. I want a kiss"


It was random. A request that had Felix stare at Eden for a while. "huh?"


"That’s the only way I can give you some powers" Eden explained "Holding hands.. kissing and more. Those are pathways through which I can replenish you with powers from time to time. Don’t you want it?"


Felix blinked "And more...?" What’s the ’more’ about..?"


"You don’t need to know. At least for now. But a kiss is more effective in donating powers to you than merely holding hands"


Eden felt the woods wouldn’t be safe. Especially since some nobles might actually come after him again.


"But..." Felix had a hand over his neck "Why would we just randomly..."


"I have a feeling that we’ll be ambushed soon. So you need to get ready to protect me as a student. Don’t you think so?" Eden questioned


He had to make it about him.


He couldn’t make him know that he was also getting powers from intimacy. So he doesn’t know that he was basically powerless without it.


Felix looked around "What ambush?"


"I’m the master here. So I say what goes. So get down here so I can kiss you" Eden ordered and Felix just stared at him.


He hesitated but slowly brought down his head.


It was only for the powers, nothing more. He told himself continuously as though reminding himself that he was still straight even though he made out with a guy.


And with his face closer, Eden pushed in for a kiss. A deep and smooth kiss. One where Felix didn’t protest but let Eden lead his lips with his own and break through his mouth with his tongue.


It was going to be a longer kiss. Only if an ambush hadn’t happened almost immediately.
