Between The Worlds

Raphel's punch was truly too sad to look at. He clenched the palm in the wrong way and also postured wrongly meaning his punch lacked any strength. Anyway, Shi still chose to dodge causing his arm to go behind her.

It was his chance!

As he threw himself at her, Raphel did his best to hug her. Hugging her whole body with his maximum strength, Raphel planned to survive every attack from close distance. Also, if she attacked from such close distance, then there was high chance of her attacking herself.

"You!"

Shi obviously got mad. Raphel buried his whole head in her c.h.e.s.t and she could feel his breath! If Raphel had even 1% of l.u.s.t towards her, then she already would've unleashed her wind magic unique to elves.

But since he had no perverted thoughts, Shi quickly calmed down and remembered that she is the one training him.

Tap! They both fell yet Raphel still clung to her tightly. Releasing simple wind slashes, elf beauty wanted to punish the snakeman lightly. However! Raphel boldly moved as he turned her body causing her to be the one on top now!

"Mhmmm~~"

Her own wind magic couldn't possibly hurt her much. Thus, the reason for her light m.o.a.n was different. It was Raphel who screamed with pain! And since he had his head buried into her embrace...

'F.u.c.k! I must hold her, thus, my legs and hands are exposed!'

Raphel cried inwardly as he tightened the grip. On his face was focus and tears of had work as sweat began flowing down as well. The snakeman had already learnt that although misfortunes are free in this world...

'Fortunes aint free! I must work for my own fortune!'

For 5 silvers, Raphel decided to go beyond his limits. The book of dimension pocket was worth 2 silver, thus, for 5 silver, he might get another and even better technique. With such determination to make his life safer, Raphel once again tightened the grip.

As for Shi, she peeked at Raphel face and realized that he doesn't care about her body at all.

"Kek! You lost your charm! Kek! Kek!"

And after her parrot dealt the deathly blow, Shi got mad as she shouted angrily at Raphel.

"What the f.u.c.k, Raphel?! What is wrong with you? Don't you d.e.s.i.r.e strength and beauties?"

'What is she talking about? Why is she so mad? I just want my 5 silvers!'

There was no way Raphel could understand the anger of elf beauty! When the money is on the stake, he loses everything! Tightening the grip, Raphel decided to ignore her...

Seeing Raphel ignoring her, Shi waited a little, then lightly whispered...

"Five minutes passed."

Hearing this, the snakeman immediately let her go. On his face was slight smile as he felt immense happiness for winning the fortune for himself. Slight smile because he was holding himself back. It would be bad, if his new comrades thought too badly of him.

His own snake also already came back to him as she coiled around his torso.

But Raphel didn't know that he already was coward and gay in the eyes of the elf beauty, thus it would be fine for him to madly laugh... But, when her next words rang out, the face of snakeman became all white.

"I lied. How could five minutes pass this quickly?"

"N-no! That's cheating!"

Raphel ran away. He was sure that at least three minutes passed. If he can out run her magic then it would be the best. If not, then he has to endure everything...

"Mrs. Shi!"

Shi eye twitched...

"I will definitely win!"

"Kek! Why aren't you attacking him?"

"Let him run like this. If he stops, then send fire ball."

The parrot didn't know what happened exactly, but he knew that his master is already ready to lose 5 silver. Such money isn't much for guild members and is only enough to buy beginner techniques...

"Kek! If you want to punish him, then isn't it better to actually hit him with magic?"

"..."

And so, Raphel run for at least thirty minutes. As to why he was running for that long... It was because everytime he stopped, the fire ball went towards him! Then, after tiring marathon... Shi threw money at him with angry look.

'Why is she mad? Don't tell me that 5 silvers is actually big money? Shit!'

The girl who he had looked for ingredients with gave him too much money! Thinking like that, Raphel decided to bunker himself in his room! Then, Raphel looked at his new money... the bright smile bloomed onto his face stunning the elf beauty...

'Same smile like those perverts!'

She meant those perverts who look at her at every possible moment! The parrot on her shoulder chuckled as it spoke...

"Looks like he likes money the best, even though it's only 5 silvers! Kek!"
