As she contemplated what to do, Jung was in the mood to tease her sister-in-law.
Before this encounter, he had spoken politely to her.
Lilia was the academy principal, and he quite enjoyed conversing with her, trying not to get on her nerves.
However, he no longer showed a drop of regard towards her.
Even if the respect wasn't gone, Jung loved taunting and angering her now that they were practically family.
It was part of his personality.
Nero's absence played a small part as well.
"Do you want me to let you win? Like, for family bonding and shit."
Seeing that Lilia didn't answer, he struggled to sidestep her offense but still continued.
"Now I know why we had to fight in this secretive place. Is this arena for the opponents you know you can't beat?"
Again, Lilia's magical ability drew closer to him, and as much as he tried to make it look like an easy fight, he struggled to the end.
The principal smiled at his last words.
