Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis' world broke down.

'It's over!' he thought. 'Stella feels genuine fear towards me. My past actions are still fresh in her mind. She hates me!'

The fear in Stella's eyes hurt Gravis deep inside. The one person he loved feared him.

Suddenly, Gravis saw Stella's eyes darting to the corner of the hall, and her eyes widened in shock. Then, she looked around the room at the others. By now, her expression had changed to an aloof one.

However, in the end, her eyes returned to Gravis.

The fear was gone.

Instead, only confusion was left.

Gravis was also confused by Stella's actions, but then he realized.

'So, she knows,' Gravis thought. 'She has always known. I should have realized.'

However, Gravis' nervousness vanished as relief washed over him.

'She knows that I have a beast body. That was why she was afraid. She wasn't afraid of me but for me.'

'Of course her teacher would have informed her. I never told her of my beast body, but her teacher would have definitely noticed. She probably informed Stella of my beast body.'

Gravis almost couldn't stop himself from smiling.

Another big worry of his had been that Stella would deny him as soon as she heard that he had a beast body. After all, humans were not normally attracted to beasts.

Yet, since Stella had known from the very beginning, it meant that everything between them had been genuine.

The Sect Master was the only one that noticed Stella's imperceptible actions. Stella had camouflaged her actions very well, but the Sect Master knew her very closely.

After all, the Sect Master had acted as Stella's aunt for thousands of years.
