Mart was about to turn to the next page of the book, when a notification popped up and he carefully let go of the book.
[Trait anger activated]
"Why?"
[The host drank the tainted demoness' blood]
[Warning: demon blood can create eternal bonds between demons]
[Warning: the demon god's energy inside the demoness' body has become unstable]
[Warning: anger is being redirected towards the host to protect the sanity of the tainted demoness].
[Host wishes to cancel the trait anger: (accept) (reject)]
"Mere anger won't be able to get me; I'm going to look for the teacher, it must be her," Mart thought, getting up....
[trait pride activated]
Mart walked to the reception desk, his complicated expression was sinister, his anger and pride were fighting each other, he said to the student at the reception desk in a firm almost intimidating voice:
-Keep it, I'll come back for it.
The student at the front desk was so bewildered that he could not reply.
Mart walked out of the library, he walked through the dark area, he stepped on the soft surface, then the mouth he had entered through opened, he walked out with quick steps, he walked past the front desk where Emy was still there who wanted to say goodbye but he left so fast she couldn't do it.
Mart walked through the halls, the anger still wouldn't stop, he was trying to stay focused as he thought, "what could have happened to her?", it was a bad question, to think that someone would approach one of the women he liked, made his pride accept his anger.
"Damn," Mart cursed in his mind and continued walking towards the building where the faculty dorm was located.
The light from the sky was slowly fading, as he arrived in front of the building, due to the current connection he could easily locate Professor Helen's room, he had to restrain the urge to jump and enter through the windows. If he hadn't increased his intelligence attribute he wouldn't have thought twice about it.
He looked around and saw the maid who lived in the same room as Iristel, he greeted her trying to disguise his distressing situation.
The blonde-haired maid looked very attractive in her maid's uniform that highlighted her large breasts and excellent buttocks; Mart slapped himself, he didn't want another feature to be activated.
-Hello! You are Iris's boyfriend! -exclaimed the maid at the top of her lungs.
"Wow; I thought she was only enthusiastic because she was off work that day," thought Mart but when she was close, he didn't hesitate to tell her:
-Please go to Professor Helen and tell her that the student Mart Sevec is looking for her, it is urgent.
The maid watched him curiously, but after a while she just said with her relaxed attitude:
-Ok, but don't forget to bring two slices of cake next time.
Mart looked around, saw a bench near a tree and sat down to wait.
Mart hid his face in his hands, he was angry and frustrated, he was sweating now, but he was trying hard to keep his sanity. A few minutes later he heard Professor Helen speak to him in a calm and respectful voice.
-Student Sevec, what happened?
-Are you all right? -That was the first thing Mart asked.
Professor Helen's heart couldn't help but feel a pang, she was touched, she now understood where his anger had gone, and how despite the state he was in, she was the first thing he thought of, a few seconds passed and she replied in a softer tone of voice:
-Yes, I'm fine. But you.
-Let's go to the private office in the teacher's lounge. -Mart indicated with a firm voice who, despite having calmed down her anger, was still holding back Professor Helen's rage from the unstable demon god energy in her.
As the two walked through the halls, Mart constantly wiped the sweat from his face, and some students who were still around began to murmur:
"Has something happened?"
"Look, they're leading towards the teachers' lounge."
"That scum must have done something again."
That last comment in the state Mart was in was getting on his nerves, but the teacher took his hand, squeezed it tightly and said:
-please, you must restrain yourself, we're getting there.
A few minutes later they entered the teacher's lounge, the desks were empty, she took Mart to the private room and he didn't hesitate to lock it.
-Swear you won't talk about anything that happens here, quick! -Mart exclaimed in a commanding voice, anger was on edge.
"With Alvat as witness.
We have already agreed once
Let Alvat be a witness again
Of promises that cannot be broken."
After reciting a prayer of sorts, the teacher looked at Mart and said:
-I swear I will say nothing about what happens here.
Mart saw a second dark ring appear and disappear on his index finger, he didn't like it, but without time he took out a dagger from his demonic bag, cut his palm and said to the teacher holding back his anger as much as possible:
-Drink my blood, quickly.
Professor Helen did not understand the reason behind Mart's request, but she knew from seeing Mart's state that she could not delay so she took Mart's palm and began to devour the blood.
[Crystal devouring demon has awakened its lineage]
[Crystal devouring demon is absorbing the essence of the demon god]
[Crystal devouring demon is absorbing the demon god's energy]
Mart felt the anger subside and shortly after came the notification:
[Anger trait deactivated]
Mart looked for a chair and sat down, he felt exhausted, he had contained the strength of his own body using his demonic energy. Then he looked up and saw a beautiful elliptical, iridescent crystal on Professor Helen's forehead.
-I don't think you can hide that, can you? -Mart asked from the chair he was sitting in.
Professor Helen who had been more attentive to the pain that had disappeared from his hand, took out a mirror and looking at her reflection saw the iridescent gem, her eyes sparkled, she looked at Mart and asked him without hiding her surprise and happiness:
-You woke up my...
Mart stood up and placed his index finger on Professor Helen's soft, pink lips and said:
-You will be heard.
She understood that Mart did not want anyone to know, especially the principal, whose power covered the Academy.
