Chapter 61: [61] How to Get a Girl (to Soul Bond with You)
Holy. Shit.
Xavier’s jaw hung open as the observation deck returned to normal lighting. The massive screens still displayed the aftermath—a cathedral littered with crystal fragments, its center now empty where the gate core had been. Thalia Sinclair stood among the destruction, wiping blood from her nose.
"That was fucking amazing," he whispered, barely aware he’d spoken aloud.
Around him, Class 1-D remained frozen in collective awe. No one moved. No one spoke. Even Kyrie, who always had something to say, stared at the screen with wide eyes and parted lips.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Phantom said, his white mask reflecting the screens’ glow, "that is the power of the Big Three."
Xavier couldn’t tear his eyes from Thalia as she gathered her team and headed toward the exit. Her combat suit hugged every curve of her body, and even exhausted, she moved with undeniable authority. Each step showed the perfect balance of a master hunter—hips swaying slightly, shoulders squared, head held high despite the obvious toll the technique had taken.
How the hell do I make a Soul Bond with her?
He blinked, surprised by the direction of his mind. But it made sense. If Soul Bonds provided power based on connection strength, someone like Thalia Sinclair would be the ultimate asset.
Should I ask Calypso about approaching her?
Xavier glanced toward Calypso, who stood with her little group of friends. Their eyes met briefly before she looked away.
No. I don’t need her for this.
