Stray

The other party’s breath sprayed in his ears that gave Nemo goosebumps all over. He subconsciously wanted to do it but was afraid the dark shadow would really stab the person in front of him, so he had to take a more compromised approach. Nemo gritted his teeth and swung his fist.

Jesse turned his head and lightly dodged his unskilled punch.

“Don’t be so shy.” He showed an expression similar to grievance. “I’m trying to help you—”

Nemo didn’t bother responding. He tried to stand up to get away from this inexplicable person.

“You are just bound by your cognition.” Jesse didn’t mind the cold treatment that he’d received. He propped his right arm on the trunk of a tree and stopped Nemo’s movement before continuing happily. This time, he raised his voice slightly. “As long as you always think you’re an ordinary person, your strength will be suppressed. How about relaxing that thought occasionally? For example, try to deny yourself that you’re an ordinary person.” He licked the corners of his lips, “…Or try to deny that you’re a human being.”

“If I remember correctly, I haven’t used any spells in front of you the few times we met.” Nemo took a deep breath, trying to make him sound as cold as possible. “So where did you come to this conclusion, Mr. Dylan?”

“Secret.” Jesse shrugged. “But that suggestion is from the bottom of my heart. You can’t—”

Before he finished speaking, Jesse moved back unnaturally causing Nemo to blink. Who knew when but Adrian had woken up and at this moment was pulling Jesse by the back collar and dragging him away from Nemo.

Nemo didn’t miss this opportunity and quickly moved to Oliver’s side. Although Oliver was still in a deep sleep, he felt united as the two of them had a common enemy.
