Chapter 91: Siblings
"What was that?" Asked Cyril.
"I am just training during nighttime to get that edge, you know? The professors rejected my transfer application again..." Edmund said while scratching his hair.
Cyril, still holding Tigris, shook his head. "You know what I mean; don't play dumb."
He was training true, but the way he was training was definitely something special.
"I am not playing dumb. Cyril, some people need to practice a lot more than you do. They have to sacrifice many things to get close to your level of talent, alright?" Edmund said in an unfriendly tone as he was going away.
"Wrong. Even if they sacrifice those things, they still won't be on your level," Rhamn arrogantly smiled, disregarding the somewhat tense atmosphere.
Cyril could tell Edmund wasn't genuine with these words; it was just an excuse to get out of here.
"For how long have we been friends, Ed? You know you can trust me," replied Cyril, standing in his path.
This caused Edmund to freeze in his footsteps, hesitation on his face.
"You have your secrets; let me have mine as well," he said in the end.
Finding his words reasonable, Cyril stood aside, letting his friend pass through.
