The night cold was starting to fall in, a bit of chill flowing in everyone's body as they shook in their shoes, their shaking hidden by their warm skin.

Everyone among Erlin, Renn, Liberty, and Anda lied about not wanting to go to dinner. Their hearts were bouncing in their chests when they lied but in their minds, they wanted to go.

Since they made a promise to the professor, they were forced to keep it, and they were given a mouth sealer to not mention a word about him and also to let the two go alone since dinner was now made for the two.

The professor was hidden in a tree that was near the gate. His head was seen like a branch that was cut since his black hair was the only thing seen; his white skin wasn't seen that much since he wanted to see Erlin and her friends in order to give them his ears.

He got happy when he heard Erlin and her friends proceeding with the mission very smoothly. His teeth shined in a dimming world as he said, "Yes, now chemistry is going to be formed. Akirion is a nice guy; he can't spend his niceness all alone. He should have a girlfriend, someone who will keep his heart beating every time he sets his eyes on her.

Erlin closed her eyes, trying to show that she was tired somehow; her mind raced, her hands brushing her blonde hair.

What's up with the professor, planning a date for my sister and this jerk Akirion? The only known thing is that I won't allow it, even though I was given a mouth sealer and let-it-go money for me to lay low and see my sister getting touched by those filthy hands.' Erlin was disgusted; hatred for Akirion was on her tongue. Only a few sparks were needed to ignite the bomb andmake her show her hatred in Akirion's face.

'That sick money won't make me let my sister go with my mouth shut. That Akirion guy can't be trusted, and his handsome look, hooking the girls, disgusts me to the fullest. I can't even breathe; just seeing his face makes me hate him because it's like he got a hooker to hook my sister to like him. Grrr, that's the most boring part, and it's the part that I'll never put into my heart. My sister is going out with a guy; has she lost her mind?' Erlin continued talking on her own, her anger making her clench her small fist.

"Erlin? Are you okay?" Akirion asked, with extra care for everyone in his words. But in response, Erlin replied with a growling voice, "Of course I am, thank you for asking…"

'Wow, she sounds super worked up. I guess I shouldn't make a spark in a place like this because the whole place might ignite and I'll be at fault.' Akirion thought, his eyes glaring away from her as he executed his plan of creating no spark; even smoke wasn't allowed because where there is smoke, there is fire.

Suddenly, the professor thought of making an exit, abandoning his hideoutthat made him hear every single word they were saying.

On the other side, Akirion's heart got a bit of pain as he thought that becoming quiet could get him suspected of making the dinner plans.

"Come on, guys, Elina is the organizer; she wants you guys to be there too. I didn't want to go, but I ended up agreeing. Can you find a spot in your heart to join her dinner?" Akirion said, his words flooded with sincerity.

'Standing here is a waste of time; I should maybe find a way out and go home. I'm tired, really!" The professor spoke on his own. He made a reverse under a well-shaded tree. His eyes were closed, fear of being detected coiled in his body. He slowly sneaked out.

Akirion, who received some denials after he proposed, was looking aside, his eyes heavy with sleepiness. He only had to move according to what he was supposed to do since he was marked to have agreed.

His eyes caught a glimpse of the professor sneaking away in the distance, and he suddenly yelled to get his attention.

"Hey professor, hey!" The professor embarrassingly stopped after hearing Akirion's voice.

The ones that were going with the professor thought that their plan was compromised, and they started to shake in their boots, waiting for a way he will respond if he gets asked about the dinner since he was spotted sneaking away.

The professor slowly arrived, and all the eyes were on him. Akirion firstly made an emotionless face before the professor arrived, and that made the professor gain more fear, thinking that his plan was caught.

"Hey, professor, I'm glad you are here!" Akirion's smile was relocated, his cuteness hurting Erlin a lot.

The professor suddenly took out a small bottle and gave it to Akirion, making him forget about what he wanted to say. He sent it straight to Akirion's face, trying to make him drink, but Akirion's hand was flexible enough to hold the bottle before it reached his mouth.

"Drink this!" the professor said, pretending as if he wanted to give it to him instead of feeding him.

Gasps scattered; they were surprised by the sudden gift.

"What is this?" Akirion asked, trying to detect the smell by smelling it. He continued by asking again, "Is this the manafuse?"

"Yes, I found it in the room where you were given it. I took everything that was touched by it and mixed up every drop that I found, and I ended up forgetting to give you the time we met there, so…" The professor said, his eyes stealing Akirion's face as he looked at him from a corner, while his eyes ran around, trying to keep his eyes undetectable.

"Thank you very much, professor! Now I can get rid of my sleepiness right after the first sip!" Everyone smiled as they saw Akirion drinking it up. Akirion continued, "By the way, I called you to inform you about my sword that I left in the bathroom."

"In the bathroom?" The others suddenly asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's heavy, so I couldn't carry it around. And since we are going far, it will be hard for me to carry that big sword around. And it's very expensive too, so I'll be doomed if I get robbed. So may you check it!"

"Okay, sure!"
