━───This kind of thing didn't last long. Sucheon quickly recovered his calmness but glared at Chiye angrily. A mixed emotion of disbelief and irritation could be seen swirling in his eyes.

In his mind, numerous thoughts ran in circle. Thoughts like: 'How can she be so fast?!' or 'She can avoid all of my attacks, how is that possible? Although I'm not serious, she can still evade me like that damn Jiwoo Seo!'

Feeling a growing irritation, Sucheon gave Chiye a look-over. "You're good at dodging, like a cockroach."

In contrast to his cold gaze, Chiye smiled in a much more peaceful and auspicious manner. "And you suck at aiming, like a blind guy."

Who knows whether it's a coincidence or not, but Chiye was pulling at the bandages in her eyes a bit when she said that, like silently saying 'You can't even hit me while I'm blindfolded, shame on you.'

Of course, that's how Sucheon interpreted her actions.

Sucheon: ....

'This motherfvcker-!!'

For the first time, Sucheon has this feeling of being angered but doesn't know what to do. He wanted to use his awakened power to attack, to simply do something, but at the same time, he couldn't feel that damn bloodthirsty feeling he get when facing his opponents.

'Fvck, this must be because those damn bastards from World Awakeners Academy is here. I can't reveal my real abilities. That's right, that must be it!'

Gritting his teeth, Sucheon couldn't help but calm down a bit more. Her glare vanished and he's now just looking at Chiye with a bit of coldness.

Chiye smiled and spread her palm casually, "Come on. This is, what, our fourth meeting? Are you still reluctant to share your name? I'm sure your name doesn't cost, right?"

The audacity of someone who pointed a sword at his neck out of nowhere to act so friendly towards him.

"Fuck off, I'm not gonna tell you my name." Sucheon said, crossing his arms. "You have a knack at irritating others."

Chiye shook her head, "More like, you're always irritated."

After saying that, Chiye sigh and then, she smiled lightly. Her whole body was relaxed as she stared at Sucheon with great interest.

"Hey, I'm sincerely trying to make friends here. I think you and I would become best buddies, what do you think?"

'She's fucking crazy.' Was Sucheon's first thought the moment he heard her words.

Which person in their right mind would think that you would become great friends towards someone who put a blade against your neck without a reason? What makes her think he out of all people, would like to be friends?

He doesn't need friends.

Sucheon frowned. "You must be the most craziest person I've ever met."

After he said that, Sucheon didn't bother paying her any more attention as he started to walk away.

He no longer cares whether that girl named Chiye is really a student here. Or she's stalking him. Or she's from who knows where sent to monitor him. He doesn't give a damn care anymore. His curiosity about her be damned!

Seeing him walk away, Chiye's first thought was to follow. But she didn't move, instead, she waved at Sucheon and grin.

"See you around, hot-head!"

Sucheon: "...."

He really, really wanted to kill this girl!

Despite Sucheon ignoring her, Chiye still has an amused smile on her face since she saw Sucheon flinched at the nickname and tremble a bit, obviously due to anger. That caused her to laugh a bit.

'Damn, he's too fun to mess with.' Chiye thought with a grin.

After Sucheon disappeared from her sight, Chiye inhaled and exhaled softly before smiling.

She thought to herself whether it's fate or really a coincidence. To meet the same person again and again is something unusual. Even she would think the other person is planning something against her. If she didn't pulled such a crazy stunt on their first meeting, perhaps she would really feel suspicious.

'Fate...heh.' Chiye sneered a bit. She doesn't care about fate or destiny, but if it's the reason why she keeps meeting interesting people, then perhaps she can tolerate the thought of these things being part of her life.

From the beginning, she believed that her destiny is to one day faced her brother in a fight of life and death. Her parents and relatives always reminds her indirectly or directly that she's the only person who could stop the Gojo Satoru, the only person who could control him.

The only one who could kill him.

Chiye doesn't believe in fate or destiny. But now, perhaps the concept of those things.... isn't as bad as she thought.

•••

Returning to Jiwoo's dorm instead of her own, Chiye greeted Kartein quite happily, causing the white cat to pause and stared at her with a hint of surprise.

Usually, Chiye would be too calm and indifferent, sometimes clueless and ignorant, sometimes annoyed and silent, but never this...never this happy.

"What's gotten into you?" Kartein couldn't help but asked.

Chiye's pupils behind the bandages shone with a brilliant light. She wanted to share her encounter with the black haired boy, but before she could say it, she stopped. She remembered Kartein scolding her for putting a blade on Kayden's neck, so she quickly decided to be against the idea of telling Kartein about the boy (Sucheon).

Instead, she smiled and took Kartein with her with a quick goodbye to the master and disciple inside the room before going in her dorm, closing the door and staring at Kartein with a hint of excitement.

"I discovered something a while ago. Mr.Kartein, perhaps there's a way for me to use force control!"

Yep. That's not the main source of her happiness, but it is the reason of her excitement. For now, she'll keep her interaction with the black haired boy a secret. She would say it once she managed to befriend that guy who has a similar melancholic and deep forlorn in his eyes.
