Chapter 8: Admitting Mistakes
update icon Updated at 2023/7/23 3:10:12

The whole room fell silent, no one dared to respond to Natalia Chan. He now seemed like a terrifying demon, emitting a horrifying aura that rendered them completely immobile.

"How is this... possible?"

"Why is Bard's flames ineffective against him?"

"Could this kid be an advanced mage?"

"A commoner actually defeated a noble..."

The students in Bard's class whispered among themselves, while nearby, Nana Wei standing beside Liya was at a loss for words. Not only her, but everyone around her was speechless, their mouths wide enough to fit an egg.

"What's going on with your brother?" Nana Wei turned to look at Liya. However, Liya remained silent, with only a slight smirk on her face, revealing a hint of pride.

Natalia Chan withdrew his gaze, squinting at Bard trembling on the ground not far away. Just as he was considering whether he should leave, suddenly he heard a voice coming from nearby.

"Xiao Luo."

"Liya sister?" Natalia Chan turned to look and saw his own sister looking at him. He opened his mouth and immediately stiffened, fearing that his sister had seen his actions earlier.

Oh no, what if they take their anger out on my sister?

Natalia Chan instantly regretted it. In Asta Academy, especially in the noble area, few people knew that he was the younger brother of the 'Cold Flame Rose'. If they saw him being intimate with his sister, there would definitely be gossip.

Seeing Natalia Chan standing still, apparently lost in thought, Liya sighed and beckoned to him.

"Come here."

"Oh..." Natalia Chan hesitated for a moment, and then quickly complied. Like a child who had done something wrong, he hurriedly ran to Liya, lowered his head, and said, "Sister, you wanted to see me..."

"What? You've only just arrived at the academy and already think you can disregard your sister's words?"

"No, no, no, I listen, I listen." Natalia Chan quickly waved his hands in response, "Sister, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"Then tell me, what did you do wrong?"

"I shouldn't have attacked him."

As soon as Natalia Chan finished speaking, Liya flicked his forehead. In pain, he quickly said, "Sister, please don't be angry, I was wrong, I'm reflecting on it."

Natalia Chan may fear nothing and no one else, but when it comes to his family, he has a great psychological shadow. The imprint of "never disobeying his sister and mother" was deeply engraved in his mind. From childhood to adulthood, he always obeyed their words and hardly ever said the word "no". Over time, it became a habit.

Once, Natalia Chan accidentally angered Liya, and she ignored him the whole day. As a child, Natalia Chan cried and ran into Liya's room that evening, grabbing onto her sleeve and crying, "Sister, I was wrong, I will be obedient, please don't ignore me."

After that incident, Natalia Chan didn't remember much. He vaguely recalled almost being choked by his sister's chest...

Since then, whenever Liya had a stern face, he immediately admitted his mistakes without a second thought. After all, admitting mistakes first is always the right thing to do. It became an unwavering law.

Liya reached out to touch Natalia Chan's head and smiled warmly.

"Remember, you are my brother. If you get hurt, I will feel more pain than you."

"Okay..." Natalia Chan nodded, feeling a warmth welling up inside him.

"The next time someone wants to pick a fight with you, mention my name and I'll handle it for you."

"But..."

"What? Do you have any objections?"

"No, I don't..." Natalia Chan wilted immediately, and Nana Wei, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but wonder if this was the same person from before.

The intimidating statement had shocked everyone, and no one dared to face him. And now, he obediently resembled a docile kitten. The stark contrast was difficult for Nana Wei to accept, and she couldn't help but ask Natalia Chan out of curiosity."Hey, are you alright?"

"Hmm?" Natalia Chan looked at Nana Wei strangely and nodded, "I'm fine, why? Is something wrong?"

"Why... weren't you engulfed in flames? Why are you completely unharmed?"

Natalia Chan tilted her head and said nonchalantly, leaving Nana Wei almost speechless.

"The flames at that temperature didn't even touch half of Liya's sister. Why would anything happen to me?"

Nana Wei was stunned, and the other students around them froze as well. Natalia Chan's words shattered their common sense like a bomb.

The only person who didn't react was Liya Gatoon.

She reached out and gently touched Natalia Chan's face.

"Next time, do not fight with others without my permission, understood?"

"I understand, sister."

"Good, be a good boy. That's how I love you the most, Little Lo."

"Yes..." Natalia Chan quickly smiled and nodded, but he was well aware that Liya's 'love' was not just simple familial love.

As he looked at the slight blush on Liya's face, Natalia Chan despairingly realized that he would definitely have to sleep together with his sister tonight.

[Sleeping together is not a problem at all, just don't make me kneel on the floor, and please don't change clothes in front of me.]

He could only weakly pray in his heart.

Liya's hand slowly slid down, caressing Natalia Chan's chest, and her little mouth lightly gasped. Natalia Chan was taken aback when he saw this expression; he had seen it countless times before.

"Sister, sister, wait a minute. There are other people here, what are you doing??"

"Ah, Little Lo, my little brother," Liya gazed at Natalia Chan with obsession, with hearts seemingly appearing in her eyes. "Your body has also grown so big, becoming more and more like a man."

"Wait, what do you mean by 'more like a man'? Sister, calm down." Natalia Chan wanted to escape, but Liya had already firmly grabbed his wrist at some point, and her strength was like a clamp, locking him in place.

Natalia Chan's face turned pale, and his mind felt like it was shattering. It would be really bad if this continued! However, he didn't know that at this moment, his mother, who was burying her head in Natalia Chan's pillow on the bed at home, suddenly sneezed. As she wondered if she had caught a cold, the delicate blue necklace hanging around her neck began to flicker and emit light.

The air around the necklace began to distort continuously, even more intensely than the crystal of the Ink Teng Demon Tree before. The range of distortion had also tripled!

If Natalia Chan were there, he would definitely be speechless with astonishment.

Because this necklace was indeed a monster crystal!

After seeing the dark blue magic overflowing from the necklace, his mother angrily exclaimed as if someone had taken away her toy.

"Argh, how infuriating! That wretched woman really made a move on little Lo at the academy!"

"Damn it, so infuriating! She's bullying me, not even a student! That vixen! I'll add some extra ingredients and kill her at dinner tonight!"

"Little Lo, Little Lo, sob, sob, please come back quickly. Mama misses you so much."

His mother sniffled and got out of bed, opening the wardrobe and throwing all of Natalia Chan's clothes on the bed before lying back down. She picked up one piece after another and held them close to her nose...
