Chapter 68
Elijah and Mai walked side by side, the quiet night air settling around them.
Elijah felt surprisingly calm, wondering why it was so easy to talk to Mai.
With Lisa, he always felt the need to guard himself, to keep things bottled up, but with Mai, conversation flowed effortlessly.
It was never forced, just natural.
He didn't understand it.
Even though he had a crush on Lisa, something always seemed to push him away from her.
He couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
And yet, the thought of dating Mai had never even crossed his mind.
Right now, Elijah's focus was solely on his gang, his personal growth, and strengthening his power.
He was even considering applying to Cross Rose Academy—a prestigious school where Knights and Mages honed their control over Ki and Mana.
Since Elijah didn't have Mana, he would dedicate himself entirely to mastering Ki.
