Chapter 70- Face-Off (Part 2)
After drinking the whole coffee, Kaya put it down and stared at Eva who was still in her place, looking stupefied.
"Delicious coffee indeed~," Kaya said with a playful smile.
'Is this bitch insane? Her stomach will explode.' Eva thought with a frown.
A few milligrams were enough to destroy the insides of the biggest creature on the planet and yet Kaya drank the coffee which contained tens of times that amount as if it was nothing. The worst that could happen is that she will literally die because of the poison.
Eva would be glad if that happened but she would've rather approached doing that in a more discreet and elegant way. Doing it here will only catch the attention of the public and that would be hard to cover even for someone like Eva.
The situation wasn't the best at all but Eva had no choice but to keep going with the act. Or so that was what she was intending to do because suddenly, Kaya bent forward and grabbed her stomach.
"Ugh, my stomach! It hurts!!" She said.
"..."
"W-What is happening?! My stomach feels like it's twisting!!" She said.
Everyone looked at Kaya with shocked expressions as they didn't know how to react. The latter simply kept groaning in pain.
'The effect is already starting… Shit!' She cursed as she tried to think of a way to handle this situation.
"Are you ok, customer?" She asked.
"I'm dying from pain!! I-I can't even stand."
The other maids were about to call the teachers since this seemed like an urgent matter. However, Kaya continued. "C-Can you help me go to the bathroom?" Her eyes pointed directly at Eva.
"C-Customer, let us call help, you are clearly suffering from unusual pain." One of the maids said with a concerned tone.
"No… need, I just need to wash my face and I should be fine. P-Please, help me." She said again as she extended her hand to Eva.
The latter had no choice but to comply and picked Kaya up before she rested her hand on her back. Then, the two walked toward the door.
"M-Miss Eva?" The maids spoke her name as they watched her carry the customer.
The latter looked at them before she gave them her usual smile.
"Don't worry and just continue serving the customers. I will take care of her."
Then, the duo left the classroom and headed toward the bathroom in silence. Although Eva hated Kaya to the guts, she still couldn't say much. For some reason, she felt slightly bad for the girl.
When the two reached the girls' bathroom, they walked inside. The place was empty as all the girls were busy with their events.
"Go ahead and wash your face. If you need the bathroom, then you can also use it." She said as she turned around to walk outside.
Suddenly, Eva's instincts kicked in as she jumped to the side, barely dodging a flying kick that was aimed at her face.
"Ohoh, so you're indeed an Origin user as I expected. A normal human would've never been able to dodge that kick." Kaya said coldly as she retracted her leg and stared at Eva with a playful smirk. However, her eyes were still chilling as if they were that of a predator that finally got her prey in the trap.
"How did you resist that poison? The quantity I put should've been enough to wreck your stomach." Eva asked ignoring the latter's deduction.
"It's a secret~ Why should I tell you?" Kaya replied mysteriously.
Eva stared back at her sharply. She realized that all that Kaya did was simply an act to get her to come along to a quiet, more secluded place. However, Eva could swear she saw Kaya drink that whole thing. Unless she was some kind of freak of nature like Kai who was immune to all forms of poison, Eva didn't have any idea as to how this situation was possible. What did she do?
'No, point in trying to decipher her. She's too smart to tell me.'
"Tsk, for a slut, you do certainly have a good head between your shoulders, Ms. Archangel Kaya Bladeheart," Eva said with a smirk as she dusted her clothes.
Since Kaya realized her secret, there was no point in hiding it. Not that it mattered since most people in the underworld knew that Eva was indeed an Origin user. The only reason Kaya realized this just now is because she doesn't take an interest in people that she doesn't find worthy of her attention.
"So you do know my identity? Ah, well, not that I'm hiding it anyway." Scratching the back of her head, she moved on to the main topic. "Where is Kai?"
"Why would you want to know that?"
"Simple, I came here to meet him and see him work. Now, where is he? Is he in the kitchen?"
"I'm not telling you where he is. In fact, this is a great opportunity to set things straight since we never had a proper conversation before." Eva said as she pointed at Kaya. "Leave. Kai. alone. I know that you want to snatch him away but he is already mine and I'm never intending to hand him to anyone no matter who they are. Consider this a warning as I will not hesitate to erase your existence out of this world."
Eva's aura leaked out, chilling the whole room. Her threat wasn't just for bluffing, even Kaya knew it, she meant every word she said.
This, however, didn't make her angry. In contrast, she chuckled audibly.
"Erase my existence? Fufufufu~ How amusing! I never thought a day will come when a kid will threaten to kill me. Oh, how did I fall from grace?"
Eva's aura grew stronger as she looked at Kaya. The pressure inside the bathroom grew by the second to an unimaginable degree. It was as if the situation was on the verge of falling into chaos.
"Since your peanut brain can't comprehend it the normal way. Want to try me?" Eva asked.
"You don't have any idea how much I want to crush you right here and now. But, I will be a mature person and I will ignore what you said. As for Kai… I don't know how you ended up approaching him and I don't care at all, to be honest. However, you're a rich milady, aren't you? Just go and find another guy to put your dirty hands on. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Kai is a normal boy that has nothing to do with the dark world we live in. Don't drag him into your chaotic life."
"What right makes you think you can drag him into your chaotic life and not mine? Huh? If anything, your life is even shadier than mine. I heard a lot about you Archangels and the higher ranks of Divinity and I must say, you guys really worked hard to create that shady cult." Although Eva knew that Kaya had no idea about Kai's identity, she still found her arguments quite annoying.
"I might agree with what you say. But, you got one thing wrong. Ranks are just for show. I do not have to agree with everything Divinity says or does. I'm a free individual that can do what I want. Besides, I have my own plans to keep Kai away from these things when we finally get together. He will only have to focus on me and just me while I pamper him every day and love him like no other person would ever do. Our lives will be peaceful and happy."
*Shup*
Eva's face darkened as anger took over her mind.
"I've had enough, I'm going to kill you. Screw keeping it a secret. I will drag your dead corpse across the whole school and throw it for dogs to eat it." Eva said as her chilling gaze grew even colder.
Kaya's smile also vanished as she unleashed her aura.
"Let's end this."
