Chapter 108: Let's go on a trip?

Arata was specifically trying to anger Seth, knowing his current emotional instability given how many truths he had to face recently. Arata knew if anytime he could manipulate the bastard to act as Arata wants him to then this was the chance. And seeing Seth's raging aura, Arata seemingly was succeeding in his goal.

The reason he wanted to fight Seth was not that Arata wanted to harm him or kill him. Well, it was enticing but for the old Keita who sought vengeance from Ryuuta. His new self had no such thoughts and just wanted to evaluate the current strength of the bespectacled bastard in front.

Arata knew he couldn't win against the other party. Being pushed back in the conflict of aura they released, was a testament to that. Arata had no clue how, but Seth was a lot stronger than he was supposed to be. Of course, knowing the plot he must have been preparing unlike Arata himself.

Then, despite knowing for a fact that he would lose, how Arata was not worried about getting killed by his bold approach?

Simple. Seth wouldn't and couldn't kill him.

First, the plot would not let him since in the near future, the world would desire a hero and Arata was that hero. Seth could be strong and such, but his action was limited to his selfish desires for survival to the end. However, Arata had no such self-limit, nor any bound to where he could spread his extent of powers. He was limitless, thanks to the awakening he had recently.

And let's just take that Seth puts a blindfold on the upcoming catastrophe and tries to kill Arata regardless of the outcome. That would trigger the second option which was the reason for his confidence.

The Thunder Emperor. Now that, the legendary hero had awakened inside of him, Arata knew he wouldn't let him get killed by anyone or anything. Keita had read in last life and now Arata would exploit that information.

But unexpectedly, against his expectation, Seth suddenly dropped his intent and dispelled Arata's as well with a flick of his wrist, bringing the tranquility back to the surroundings.

Arata was beyond perplexed even though his unchanging expression said otherwise. He never felt any intrusion inside his mind-space, signifying that Seth knowing Arata's intention could not be the case upon how the green-haired guy reacted just now.

"Now if you are done playing your mind games, in which you are awful, can you move to the topic? I have some guests waiting for me."This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Arata's eyes widened hearing 'mind games' since it seems without even entering his brain, Seth was able to conclude what Arata was trying to do.

Indeed Arata was not good with this. But since he certainly approached Seth to have some words related to the future, Arata soon calmed down, before his gaze took an icy turn.

Haruka along with her mother was mainly chatting at the table, with Mr. Aldera and Seth voicing their thoughts every now and then.

Seth was relieved to see that Haruka was able to come out of the trauma she experienced due to the memories he gave her. And considering the fact, she was able to open herself in front of him, was a sign that their relationship was developing as well?

He wasn't sure but he was happy with the pace things were moving.

Fiona, as Seth expected, didn't join them for dinner and requested to be served in the room. Considering how awkward it must be for her to be around Seth and now Haruka as well, it was understandable why she was cooped up in the room.

After the dinner came to end and everyone was ready to leave the table, suddenly Seth asked Haruka something completely out of nowhere.

"Professor, for the rest of the week, would it be possible for you to keep your schedule free?"

Haruka perplexedly tilted her head with a small frown before asking in an uncertain tone.

"What is it, Seth?"

Seth contemplated for a bit but in the end, he decided, it was worth a shot as he replied in his usual tone.

"I wanted to take you on a trip."
