Supremacy Games

A mountain of jigsaw boxes, cross word puzzles toys, colorful cubes and more of such games, all piled up in the corner of the room. Some were brand new, while the majority had tear marks on them.

"Let's see if I can break my record."

She switched her vision from that mountain to Felix, who was sitting in front of two cartoonist jigsaw boxes. He put a timer next to him and unlocked the boxes at the same time. He then did the unexpected, as he emptied them all in one spot and mixed their pieces together!

"Let's begin! I need to finish before lunch."

He let out a childlike laugh and began piecing the two puzzles, each in one space.

Asna didn't stay to watch the rest, as she already saw enough to understand Felix's abnormal familiarity with puzzles.

If she stayed another second, she might begin reevaluating his stupid image in her mind to an intelligent one. She would rather die before that happened. So, she could only exit the memory and reconnect her connection with Felix.

....

'Asna? It's weird that you are not begging me to use the teleportation circle.'

Befuddled, Felix crouched near the circle while scratching his cheek. He expected that Asna would squeal at him for using it, but she went silent for a while now.

'No need! You won't listen to me anyway.'

'True.'

'Bastard.'

She gritted her teeth and stopped bickering with him. As for mentioning what happened earlier? She wouldn't mention it even if the fate of the universe was based on it. She knew that Felix was merely waiting for her to ask, so he would reply smugly about his childhood.

There was nowhere in hell, she would put herself in that situation.

'Let's hope we find something worth our time.'

Felix decided to focus on the chest after realizing that his chance to brag was not coming. Annoyed, he approached the chest aggressively.

"Don't kick it!" "Don't kick!!" "Don't kick!"...

The spectators yelled with desperation written all over their faces after seeing his hands were in his pockets as he approached the chest.
