Chapter 286 Kick in the nuts
Chapter 286 Kick in the nuts
Medusa knew it wasn't a date, she was certain, but there were still many different possibilities. 'Is he taking me to a hotel?' she thought, 'Am I ready for something like this?' she thought, but not even after a year of guessing she would have come with the right answer.
He was taking her to college.
They made their way towards the gym and Uriel began stretching his limbs preparing himself for the physical activity all the while Medusa tried to conceal her disappointment as best she could.
"Why did you bring me here?"
"You said he didn't want you to use your trait on me anymore, didn't you?"

"By 'he' you mean..."
"Yes, Water warlock. I believe he's been messing with my feelings this whole time and I need a way to fix this situation before it's too late. I need to find a way to communicate with him, but it's not going to be easy. Besides, I want to perform some experiments regarding my physical prowess too."
"You could have done this all by yourself." Medusa let out in a sigh.
"Yes, but since we had so much fun last time I figured you may want to do it again," Uriel lingered for a few seconds and looked Medusa directly on the eye. "I know this won't make any sense to you but I've been avoiding speaking about our feelings because I have none."
"What do you mean?" This topic was something that truly interested her and it was the first time Uriel opened up in front of her, even if he still sounded cold.
"This isn't working, you need to come at me like you want to kill me."
"I can't do something like that!"
Uriel let out a sigh and took off his pocket knife from his trait, then proceeded to stab himself on the chest under Medusa's dumbfounded look. He fell limp to the ground, but after a minute he was able to stand up like nothing happened.
"See? I can heal from anything but Water warlock won't come out if I harm myself. We need to make him think that my life is in danger or this will be useless."
"I know what you want, but it's difficult to fight with my all when you're not even trying to hit me."
"But, you're my friend and even if my emotions are all messed up, I still know it's wrong." Uriel now realized the difficult spot they were in. If he harmed himself the passive ability of Water warlock's blessing would heal him, if Medusa wounded him mortally without the intention to kill him he would be forced to activate the blessing himself.
Both scenarios didn't involve Water Warlock's activating the blessing on his end, which mean his plan to draw him out was flawed and destined to fail from the start.
"I have an idea. What if we make a bet? If you will I'll transfer you all my earnings from the last month."
"And if you win?" Uriel asked with suspicion. What he and Water warlock had in common was their unwillingness to waste any money.
"If I win, you'll give me a k-k, I want a k-" Medusa blushed as brightly as her crimson eyes and tripped over her tongue over and over.
"Fine, if you win I'll kiss you." Uriel quickly agreed.
"Then it's settled." Medusa said with a sweet voice and those were the last words Uriel heard before passing out.
