Supremacy Games

Half an hour later, Naima and Karry had arrived at the garden after their class was over.

"Look at you, sitting all carefree while the entire academy is in flames because of you." Naima punched Felix's shoulder lightly as she sat next to him.

"I am happy that Kamil was taught a lesson. She was being way too haughty in class." Karry chuckled and sat on the other side.

"I am glad my problems are amusing you ladies." Felix smiled as he asked, "So, what's up?"

"Nothing much, the life here is pretty repetitive and boring to be honest." Naima sighed in boredom.

"Yea, the current drama is actually the first interesting thing to happen in the past months." Karry agreed.

"That's why you should stop skipping classes already." Naima started acting cute by hugging his arm while leaning close to him, "Every day will be packed with juicy drama, easing everyone's boredom."

Felix pushed her face causally with his palm as he replied, "Unfortunately, that's not an option."

Hearing so, they realized that Felix was going to miss most of the upcoming classes as well.

Naima had gotten upset immediately, "Can't you just give up on fights and such? I believe that if you focused completely on potion making, you would be earning more money than in the games. In addition, it would be much safer and comfortable."

Karry nodded her head in support.

"I am not doing this for money." Felix placed two fingers before Naima's forehead and asked indifferently, "What do you think will happen if I flicked your forehead with all of my strength?"

Upon hearing so, Naima tensed up after remembering Felix's demonstrated strength in the games. With each memory of his brutality in the games, her heart started to accelerate in fear.

Especially when his fingers were so close to her, making her imagine like he was holding a gun to her forehead.

'If he flicked, my head will explode!'

Seeing her reaction, Felix smiled and patted her head gently until she finally took control of her emotions.

"Do you understand now?" Felix asked as he eyed the sky, "You think you are living comfortably but that's merely the illusion of safety provided to you by those above you. The moment you are in a really dangerous moment, where you stop relying on them, that's when your life ends."

"In this vast universe, no one is completely safe if they remained under the whims of others." Felix added with a calm tone, "I wish dearly to have my own freedom and live not just comfortably but as I desire."

Naima and Karry didn't know how to respond to his vision as they had never thought about life like that.

In their eyes, as long as they listen to their masters, work hard in their studies, graduate, and become full-fledged potioneer, then they would be able to live comfortably after selling potions.

Even when they thought about it like this, they still didn't realize that their life was literally mapped out for them before they were even born.

They were in a bubble, a man-made bubble, and Felix could see that they didn't really care.

'Each to their own goals I guess.' Felix smiled wryly and changed the subject, "Tell me something useful about the practical exams. Any tips or tricks?"

"Tips my ass." Naima crossed her arms with a pissed expression, completely forgetting her previous fear of Felix.
