Chapter 269- Were Dates Really This Action-Packed Usually? (Part 1)
The next day, everyone woke up and ate breakfast together, Scarlett seemed to be as usual even after the conversation they had yesterday. On the other side, Acht’s mind was still slightly bugged by the words she said to him yesterday.
He did sleep all night but it was not the most comfortable 8 hours of his life. That fact alone made him annoyed.
’Since when did I become this hesitant about doing something? Keep it together, Acht.’ He thought to himself as he washed the dishes.
As he was like that, he felt his shirt getting pulled slightly and a soft, warm breath reached his neck along with a whisper in his ear.
"Acht…"
? He already felt the presence behind him so he didn’t turn around.

"What is it, Tania?"
"Follow me… City…" She said.
"You want to go to the city? Why?" He asked.
"Something… I want to show you something." She said with a determined look.
"You want to show me something? What is it?"
However, Tania weirdly pouted with a slightly angry look. Then, she hugged his arm and replied.
"No… questions, just follow."
Tania wasn’t usually that forceful and was always well-behaved and listened to Acht whenever he asked something from her.
’Today is Sunday so I might as well go to the city. I also need to buy some stuff.’
"Fine, but you will still have to explain it to me."
"Mmm, thank you." She replied as a small yet adorable smile bloomed on her face.
The others had already left for their homes. They can’t stay here longer than that or rumors will spread that someone was having an orgy in his room with jaw-dropping beauty.
After cleaning the dishes, Acht wore his outdoor clothes and he left with Tania.
The two strolled toward the Academy City’s heart while chatting about stupid stuff. Acht still didn’t know what she wanted to show him.
"Mmm, Tania? Why are we coming to a bar? It’s literally the middle of the day. Besides, you can’t drink, can you?"
"Acht, no… No drink… We have other things… to do." She replied and walked inside.
’I don’t have a good feeling about this.’ He thought to himself.
The bar was very empty since no one in his sane mind would consume alcohol in the middle of the day even if it was a holiday.
The bartender was cleaning cups silently while enjoying the silence.
When Acht saw that scene, a weird deja-vu hit him out of nowhere. But, when he thought about it, he knew that scene very well and he wasn’t fond of that memory at all.
"Welc-" Before the man could finish his words, he had to squint his eyes at the two teenagers that came inside.
"My apologies, we don’t serve alcohol to students." He said.
Acht eyed Tania to see what she wanted to do. He still had no clue why they came here.
Tania then took a deep breath and replied.
"Pig’s liver is brown." She said.
"Huh?" Acht could only tilt his head in confusion.
However, the bartender didn’t seem to be surprised since he immediately nodded his head and said.
"Please, follow me."

Tania then started walking, but, Acht grabbed her hand and said with an angry tone.
"Explain, now."
Tania felt slightly troubled but she still explained.
"Underground… There is fighting…. Arena…. With prizes."
"And?"
Things like underground fighting are present in basically every city in the world and the academy city was no exception. In fact, if you look at it closely, this place was always meant to be a breeding ground for such illegal businesses with the overflow of people who are experts in fighting.
"I want to… Participate with you!"
"No." He replied and grabbed her hand to leave the bar.
"No, Acht… No!" She tried to resist his pull but failed in the end since he was more powerful than her.
"This is not a playground, Tania. We can’t just join an underground fighting arena."
"One of the prizes…. Are necklaces." She added.
"Good, then I’m Alpha, she’s Delta." He said with a cold glare.
"Good. Welcome to the ’smiling devil’ fighting arena."
’What a corny name.’ He thought.
"Come here tonight at 8:00 PM. Don’t be late or you will be eliminated."
Acht and Tania then left the bar and walked across the street silently.
The mood was really damp and quite cold actually. Acht’s eyes were still sharp as he looked ahead of him seemingly in thought.
Tania felt his unusual mood and looked down with an extremely sad look.
"I’m sorry, Acht. I…"
"Never do that again, ok? I know you wanted to get hose necklaces but such methods are uselessly troublesome. You should always tell me before doing something reckless. As long as you tell me, I can even accept it if I’m sure nothing bad will happen."
"Mmm, I won’t."
Acht then sighed and patted her on her head before saying.
"Since we’re out, we might as well just take a stroll around the city."
"I know…. They call it ’date…"
Hearing her, he chuckled and then nodded his head.
"Call it whatever you want."
"Date… Date… Date…"
"I get it, stop saying date."
"Date… Date… Date."
"Stop or we are going home."
Tania then went silent for a few seconds before looking at Acht again.
"...Date…"
"..."
