I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

"You…"

"This…"

Hilary said the first comment, and I said the second. The two of us kept glaring at each other. Her body was trembling, fiercely trembling, while her hand that held my arm was a few inches away.

"Stay back! Don't come near me! Don't!" and as I stepped forward, aiming to touch her again, what I got was for her to retreat as if a snake was going to bite her or something.

And under her shaking body and what I could tell as immense fear, her dark red aura started to rapidly withdraw back to her body, before the latter grew soft and fell on the ground of my chariot.

*Thud!*

"Sigh! Can you see it now? Do you believe me?" and as we reached such a bitter end, I turned my eyes towards the all shocked Lily before moving my hand towards Hilary.

Her body vanished as if it got eaten by my chariot.

"Where is she?" Lily couldn't help but say, while I felt she got the wrong idea here.

"I had to lock her up," I sighed, "just like this, two of my girls, two of my capable friends and leaders got removed. And you… Don't risk your life, not like this, not for me, please."

My tone was all bitter. Of course I didn't like such a life. How and why did I get cursed? I didn't know, and I didn't get a clue about what caused all this.

Something terribly bad happened to me without even realising it! I didn't even know where I should start looking.

"Hye… I need to tell you this…" and just when I thought she'd turn tail and run away, as far away from me as possible, she drew closer. She looked me directly in the eye.

Even with her red scales, her eyes told me she made up her mind about something. "Even if it was going to be a worse fate than death to me, you're worth it! You… Aren't I just a normal man I met… You are someone that a girl like me won't even have a chance of meeting in her entire life, not even for once."

And with her words, she leant over and placed a soft and long kiss on my lips. I felt petrified! What the heck was wrong in these girls' minds?

Or was it my fault? Is it all my fault? I didn't know!

Before I knew it, she vanished from my sight. I got to see her chariot flashing far at the horizon.

Sigh! At least she learnt to stay away from me with enough distance.

[We have to speak about something] but that happened too damn fast! She left without giving me a chance to say what I wanted.

[Speak then]

For a reason I felt that she wouldn't come even if I asked. [It's like this…]

I started speaking about many things. First I got to tell her about the monster dens I got. I sent her all the dens I got, only left ten of each type for any future uses.

She got excited about that. But what I said next changed her knowledge about being excited.

I talked about Hescos and how we got a chance to train our troops over these deadly enemies. She went silent for a long minute before I saw her chariot racing towards me.

"You're not joking! Please tell me you aren't joking!"

She jumped on my chariot while shouting these words that made me laugh.

"Is this something one can joke about?" I said, "but we need to prepare before receiving them."

"I know… I know… But… Damn! Damn! Real Hescos? In flesh and in their legendary suits? Dammit! I love you a ton more now, hahaha!"

She poked me with her elbow, while laughing. At least she was enjoying this moment.

I looked up at her. This was my Lily, a fierce and easy going girl. She was my best general and leader in terms of forces training.

I didn't want you to change, please don't!

"We need to find them a place first…" she was lost in thoughts for a few moments before saying this.

"I already found a continent for them," I said, "or else where do you think I was doing all this time?"

"This… I thought you were looking for another training ground for us!"

"Not so soon! You got three continents! Isn't that enough!!" I was shocked by what she said, and she laughed.

"There is no harm in getting more, right? Hahahaha!"

"..."

I couldn't help but gaze up at her in silence before sighing.

"We got a place, all we need to think about is how to train our people on fighting them."

"You have to know that they are going to be part of our forces," I said, and a flash of light passed through her eyes. "They are going to be part of my personal army, don't have any funny thoughts about that!"

I said in warning, even had to raise my index finger in front of her face.

"Where that damn jerk when one needs him? Dammit!" and just as I watched her stand all silent, only watching and blinking in a noticeable way, she suddenly opened her profile and started to move her hands in the air.

"Jerk?!" I raised one eyebrow and she sighed while closing the interface in front of her eyes with a weak gesture.

"Damn! I forgot we are in totally different worlds!" she said it as if she didn't hear what I said.

"Whom are you looking for?" I got a bad omen and seeing her fierce expression and all standing up and glowing scales of hers made me sure of what I guessed.

And then she spurted it all out.

"I know I'm powerless against you, but not that jerk! That dude with ugly face is the only one who can force you to give up part of what you have!"

"Damn girl! Stop thinking about telling that greedy bastard!"
