Chapter 145: The Big Reveal!!

Freya felt so enraged, this brat dared to play with her and make a fool of her.

She couldn’t believe she let him trick her, before saying master they should have formed the contract.

Neil just ignored her, he walked towards his domain and told Nemo to inform him if anything goes wrong.

“Eli, I am going to visit teacher.” Neil spoke, Ileana who was talking with Fay nodded.

Then he entered the core room and entered the clash realm.

As Neil appeared in the space he had trained dozens of times, he looked around and found his teacher sitting at the usual place.

“Walker, you are back!!” as soon as she saw Neil, Cynthia’s figure flashed and in the next moment she was before him.

Before Neil even had the chance to greet, she pulled him into a tight warm hug, her soft body pressing tightly against him.

She let out a long sigh of relief, being able to hold him again like this, this was truly the best.

“Are you okay? You have really made it out of the carceral citadel huh, you have worked hard, good job.” She caressed his back, muttering softly.

She was well aware of how much danger he had faced and was so proud of him.

“Hmm” Neil just hummed, feeling relaxed.

Only Cynthia and Ileana could make him feel relaxed like this, now he truly felt that he is out of that hellhole.

“…” Cynthia suddenly pulled back as she remembered something.

“COUGH You didn’t forget your promise right, before that you haven’t greeted me.” Cynthia knew it was wrong but she couldn’t hold back.

Whenever she is near him, this side of hers awakened and she just wants more and more of him.

“Of course I remember the promise.” Neil nodded, he had promised the next time he comes here would be the time when they see each other’s real faces.

And now it was time.

As for greetings…

Neil thought and finally remembered the naughty way of greeting his teacher had taught him.

Even if she tried to pretend, Neil was well aware of his feelings and unlike before, he wasn’t going to ignore any of it.

Now that he was finally out of that realm, he would live without any reservations or caring about others.

“Yes teacher” Neil took a step forward as he cupped her tender cheeks, then captured her soft lips.

Cynthia instantly felt a current course through her body, that intense feeling was back.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning into the kiss, biting his lips passionately.

“Mhmm~” Cynthia let out a muffled moan, entangling her tongue with her student, a feeling of illicit relation rising in her heart.

After a long passionate kiss, the two parted, this was such a great greeting.

Cynthia savoured the warmth still lingering over her lips, after calming her breathing she spoke:

“Now, let’s reveal our true identities.” Cynthia said, taking a step back, she wanted to see his real face so bad.

Neil nodded, he was equally as curious but he didn’t really know about most strong people.

So there was a high chance, he might be seeing a completely new face.

With her strength, she might be a warden of a settlement or something of equal rank and power.

“Master, what would you do if she is very ugly? hehe” Nemo asked, interrupting Neil’s thoughts.

’Uh… well we are already together, and the appearance is never fixed for lords. With their evolutions, who knows how one can change.’ He said, shrugging.

There was no point even thinking about that now, they were already in a relation, even if none had said it out loud.

“Let’s close our eyes and open at three together.” Cynthia said.

Neil nodded as both closed their eyes then removed the blur hiding their faces.

“One… Two… Three!!” Cynthia said, she was so excited.

The two opened their eyes at once, then they looked at each other’s faces.

The smile disappeared faster than the speed of light, as they just stared in complete shock.

“…”

A wind blew past them, bringing them back to their senses.

“You!” both exclaimed, pointing a finger at each other.

’W- What? Teacher was the madwoman all along? No way!! She is Cynthia?!!’ Neil almost stumbled back.

“W- Walker is Neil? Neil…” Cynthia’s mind short-circuited too.

For a moment the memories and rage from the past returned only to disappear as if cold water had been poured onto them.

“How can it be you? Y- You are joking with me, right? Walker?” Cynthia asked, utterly speechless.

“No, I am Neil. Y- You are the snake queen?!!” he was just as baffled.

The two stood there, their minds a tornado of all sorts of emotions.

Neil was so angry at her because she had killed him many times for no reason back in the Lizzard settlement.

But… in the name of training she had tortured him thousands of times more, so what even was the point of anger anymore.

On the other hand, Cynthia was enraged because he kissed her, disrespecting her in such a manner.

But they had done way more than just kissing and had just kissed again, so doesn’t her earlier anger become meaningless?

And now that she looked at him clearly, he looked far more handsome than she had expected.

His silver blue eyes, beautiful icy blue eyes, he really looked so perfect.

Cynthia was no longer sure of what to do with all the bottled up hatred for Neil.

“Haa Master, at least she is gorgeous.” Nemo laughed at the absurdity of the situation.

Who would have thought the woman he wanted to kill was his very teacher.

There was no way he would ever even think of harming her now, so all the anger was forcefully shoved away.

“So Walke- Neil, you are my student…” Cynthia muttered, her expression was unreadable.

“…Yea, sorry about that kiss in the prison but it was your fault for harming me first for no reason.” Neil said, sighing.

“Huh? When did I hurt you? You were the one who pounced at me right after getting out of the prison.” Cynthia said with a frown.

She was angry because all her work was for naught, and Neil had a useless skill that she didn’t want to steal.

She would have killed him in her anger but he was the one to make the first move.

“…” of course Neil couldn’t share the secret of his skill with her.

Previously he had great trust in her, but now Neil suddenly felt a bit unsure.

She is a madwoman who attacks for no reason, was staying with her the right option?

What if she gets angry that Neil has another woman and hurts Ileana or gets angry over something else and kills him?

After facing constant danger for so long, he had grown pessimistic and very cautious.

Cynthia took a deep breath, calming herself. Now the revenge she wanted so badly seemed meaningless.

More than the hatred for Neil was her feelings for her student.

She moved closer, as Neil just stood there with many thoughts.

He looked up at her, wondering if she was going to attack him again.

Instead, she pulled him into a tight comforting embrace: “You have done great, I am sorry…”

Cynthia wasn’t sure about the exact situation but just felt like comforting him, just stay close to him.
