Death… And Me

Chapter 362 - WhiChapter One Do You Like Most?

As Rean explained what Malaka should do, Calina and Luina caught up with them.

”Couldnʼt you guys have at least said that you were leaving?”

Roan glanced at the two girls and replied.

”Arenʼt you here? Thatʼs enough. Luina, take your daggers out and show me your movements.”

Luina was taken aback.

”While weʼre running?”

”What else? Stop wasting time and start already.”

Luina nodded and took out her two daggers. As they ran, she used a few skills, stringing them into a combo.

”How is it?”

Roan shook his head as he succinctly replied.

”Terrible!”

Calina couldnʼt help but giggle a little when she heard that, making Luinaʼs expression take a turn for the worse.

”However, you at least followed the pieces of advice I gave you back then. I can see that youʼve improved a lot regarding silent movement and the meridiansʼ usage to prevent your auraʼs leakage.”

In an instant, her gloominess disappeared as a bright smile appeared on her face. Soon after, she looked at Calina with a victorious expression.

”Hmph! Anyone can do that much if they train under Roanʼs teachings.”

Roan shook his head as he said.

”Not true, Illia. Iʼve received quite a few teaching duties in Dalamu, so Iʼve seen many dagger users. However, only two of them had similar talents to Luina. Whoever selected the dagger for her did an outstanding job in understanding her special traits.”

Roan wasnʼt by any means complimenting Luina. He was simply being objective about his opinions of her abilities. However, for the two girls, that was a huge difference.

”See? Even Roan recognizes that Iʼm good with my daggers.”

Seeing Luinaʼs disdainful expression made Calina almost throw caution to the wind.

ʼHow dare does she talk like this with this princess?! I want to see if you would act like this if you knew who I really was.ʼ

Of course, Calina was still an intelligent girl, so she didnʼt do such a thing. Instead, she looked in Roanʼs direction and asked.

”Roan. What do you think about our commanding abilities? You have seen both our units during the last war, right?”

Roan nodded. He had indeed seen both of them. Well, he had literally seen all of the units. In his mind, Calina just wanted to compare her abilities with other units, which wasnʼt a bad thing.

”Both groups had their own traits. Luina was given a lot of agility type cultivators with a lot of Wind Affinity ones. That being said, her job was to give support to part of the Right Wing. If one of the units began to get pushed back, she would help them keep moving the line.”

”That means that Luina and your jobs during the last battle were quite different. However, if you are asking about overall proficiency over your own units, then Illia was ahead.”

Illia nodded, satisfied.

ʼGirl, you are no match for this princess.ʼ

Luina didnʼt seem to care, though.

”Well, thatʼs to be expected. After all, Illia did receive Roanʼs teaching during the entire war. If I were there, I would have done it much better.”

Unfortunately for her, Roan shook his head once again.

”Thatʼs not quite right either. The same way you have a talent for daggers, Illia has a knack for commanding. Iʼve trained a few guys good at leading in my own unit during the duration of this war. However, Illia was still much better than the others.”

It was Calinaʼs time to look at Luina with contempt. However, neither of them were happy. In the end, Roan didnʼt say which one of them was better overall.

Rean and Malaka looked at the interaction and kept laughing inwardly. Seeing the two girls competing for Roanʼs attention while the ice block didnʼt notice anything was just too fun!

It was then that an idea popped into Reanʼs mind.

”Oh! In that case, which one of these girls do you like the most?”

Calina and Luinaʼs face immediately turned red. How did this conversation suddenly changed into like or dislike? However... they wanted to know!

”Isnʼt that obvious? I would take both.”

The two girls almost tripped!

ʼHey, hey, hey! How can you say you want both? Were you that perverted all along?ʼ

Rean and Malaka, on the other hand, couldnʼt hold it anymore.

”Hahahaha! Both! He wants you both!”

”Hahaha! Indeed! Perhaps you should share Roan between yourselves!”

Roan looked at the two laughing idiots and narrowed his eyes.

”Whatʼs so funny about that? Having both would indeed be the best option. I could use them at the same time.”

Calina and Luina almost died of embarrassment. Should they serve Roan at the same time, then? Neither girl would ever accept sharing their man. What kind of joke was that?

Roan continued, though.

”After all, their abilities complement each other. Illia could stay on the back, commanding while Luina would be on the sides giving support. The only thing missing would be a good attacker unit to make use of their abilities simultaneously.”

Calina and Luinaʼs expression froze.

ʼYou were talking about combat all the time?!ʼ

ʼHow much of a stone head can this guy be?!ʼ

Rean agreed with Roan as if nothing happened.

”Indeed. I also thought that the two were perfect together. So, why donʼt you get along? You might do great things together in the future!”

Only then did Calina and Luina understood. All their misunderstandings happened because of Rean, and it was obvious that he knew how Roan would react.

In a rare mutual understanding, the two girls attacked Rean at the same time.

Unfortunately...

ʼLife Style, First Form, Enhancement!ʼ

*Vup!*

Rean began to dodge all of their skills while he followed Roan. Obviously, with his Light Element Enhancement and space to maneuver, it would be too hard for the two girls to capture him. Rean did all of that while laughing out loud. Well, Malaka did the same on the sides.

”Wrong! Why the hell did you use Glacial Icicles instead of Water Prison there? Even if he had dodged, he would fall into Luinaʼs attack range. Luina, you too. Didnʼt you have your Wind Specter Movement? If you had used it through the knee meridians at that moment, you would most likely land a clean hit. What kind of shitty coordination is that? You need a lot more training.”

Roan, not knowing any better, started to lecture the two girls when they began to attack Rean. The two girls felt even more helpless after that. They werenʼt training at all!
