The Devil WithInn 164 The Combat Department 1

"Hah, your silence means you admit."

Rhys laughed again and Raghnall couldn't help but smile as well.

"Okay, okay, I can at least admit that we've got the same bad personalities. Do you even remember the time when you brought a wild swan into that banquet and it started attacking everyone? You're as bad as me, Rhys. Admit it."

Rhys laughed hard at the memory as well.

He hated being forced to attend those kinds of banquets so the swan was great revenge for him.

When their laughter ended, Raghnall sighed as he looked at the vast area on the other side of the wall.

He can't go over the wall for now because he can't get into any more trouble than he already had.

He knew that the moment he pa.s.sed through the walls, with the great concentration of magical particles in his body, it'll trigger an alarm. After all, the barriers were made to detect students from the Magic Department if ever they had the plan to sneak out towards the Combat department or out of the Academy.

Fortunately, Inna was undetected with crossing it since the concentration in her body was lower than the usual admission standard of Eldora Academy. But once an intermediate magic user was to cross, it'll alarm all teachers in the vicinity.

Thankfully, she's still in starter rank.

But to think she would go over the wall to go to the Combat Department.

If those hot-headed students would meet her, it would surely lead to trouble.

So with that in mind, he looked at Rhys with a worried gaze.

"Hey, all jokes aside, can you do me a favor?"

Rhys sobered up as he curiously looked at Raghnall.

"Is this about that girl who ran away earlier? What do you want me to do?"

Raghnall felt his energy depleting towards a dangerous level so he decided to slowly descend.

"She's just starter rank in magic and she's supposed to have training with me today. But the little brat just ran away to the Combat department. And to make matters worse, she's really good at getting into fights and even initiating ones. So, can you go get her for me instead? If she doesn't oblige, feel free to tie her up or trap her in a spatial cube or something. And I know you've got questions but I don't think I can answer them now so can you just go do this for me obediently?"

Rhys looked at Raghnall, who was slowly descending, incredulously as he held up his hand.

"Okay, hold up, hold up. You say she's just in Starter rank? And training with you? Are you actually teaching someone? On Prayer Day? And what? She ran away from you? What in the heavens are you talking about? Are you being serious right now? Hey! Don't ignore me! Hey! I don't even know her name!"

Raghnall pretended not to hear him as he reached the ground. And Rhys was about to go down the wall, over to his side, to demand some answers but Raghnall swiftly ran away.

"You! I didn't agree yet! What makes you think I'll actually do it?! Hey! Answer me!"

He banged at the barrier in irritation.

If only this stupid barrier wouldn't alert all the teachers, he would've run to him and demanded answers.

Still, he didn't expect that the reason why the girl easily pa.s.sed through it was because she was only starter rank in magic.

To think that for a moment he actually thought that she destroyed the barrier with her punching earlier.

Now he felt stupid and insulted.

So, with an irritated grunt, he glared at the direction where Raghnall went before jumping off the wall.

The audacity of that guy. He bailed at him during their training and now he's going to ask him to babysit?!

If that guy wasn't his friend, he would've been long gone by now.

Rhys roughly scratched his head in irritation as he tried to search around for Inna.

Ugh, to think that the day just started and he's already in a bad mood.

At the same time, Inna stumbled upon a huge open gate. And after trying to catch her breath and checking left and right, she figured to sneak inside to hide.

Besides, she felt safer being inside a place where people would be rather than being out in the forest alone.

But when she entered the open gates, she had trouble holding in her amazement as she peered around.

In the center of the vast area was a huge j.a.panese-inspired traditional mansion that had familiar shoji-looking walls. It was a single-story building but Inna knew that the building was wider and more vast than what it seems. The whole building was elevated so Inna had to carefully go up the wooden floor and she tried to be as discreet as possible as she went in to look for a place to hide and rest.

She quietly searched for a vacant room as she sneaked around. And she's actually shocked at how her footsteps made no sound even when she treaded on a wooden surface with her shoes on.

After checking and observing a room that was convenient, she saw that it was empty and she couldn't help but smile in glee.

The room was perfect for hiding!

It was at the corner and looked inconspicuous and it didn't seem that anyone would enter the room since the whole place was eerily quiet for the past few minutes.

Guess they must be sleeping as well…

When she entered, she saw a laid out futon and she couldn't help but be surprised at the fact that they actually had something similar like a futon in this world and be thankful that she can finally have a well-deserved rest.

So with a smile on her face, she shamelessly laid down on the futon and grabbed the blanket that came along with it.

But just as she was about to drift off, she suddenly heard a huge ruckus by the room beside her.

Inna groaned as her face held a disgruntled expression.

What the f.u.c.k are they doing now?

Her senses were on high alert as she tried to listen in on the violent sounds that were being leaked through the thin walls.

It sounded like a mixture of someone was. .h.i.tting flesh with flesh along with flesh hitting the soft mat of the floor.

Inna furrowed her brows in confusion.

She found the sounds to be strange so she decided to go closer to the wall to hear better.

She could hear the voices of two men as they exclaimed.

"Ah… Ow… Gently!"

"Sorry, I'm trying…"

"Ah! Stop! Too strong!"

"Ugh, I can't control it. And your legs, keep them bent."
