The Ancient Genes

"What is that?" Lisa asked as she looked at Andriel.

"Well, I am quite proficient in creating illusions…" Andriel said with a smile, "Why don't I create one with lots of handsome guys? We will know whether you can really slip in lust or not…."

"Why would I put myself in danger? What if they turn out to be stronger than me?" Lisa said as she glanced at her.

"You don't need to worry. You are like my sister, why will I do something like that? As long as you don't show any interest in them. There is nothing to worry about. Just give them a strike and the illusion will shatter." Andriel assured her.

Lisa thought about it a bit...She had wanted to participate in the test earlier but Max had stopped her. Now something similar was happening...so she was thinking of giving it a go….

"What are you thinking so much about? If you don't really trust yourself then just say so...I will just warn Max to be careful of you…" Andriel said with a smile seeing that Lisa was taking too much time.

A vein popped up on Lisa's forehead. Andirel's words were really hitting the spot. The misunderstandings which had happened had made people think of her as pervert and now Andriel was treating as her one...how could she take it lying down...she was rubbing salt on her wound.

"Fine let's do it! I will show you who needs to be warned…." Lisa said in anger. "Hmph! He is the pervert not me….even though he said stuff about being a graduate or a King...now that I think about it, he was definitely bluffing…."

"He doesn't show any interest in me, he didn't show interest in Aria who he shared a house with….even when you threw yourself at him….he ran away...It seems he isn't a man after all….well good for me....nothing to worry about it…"

Lisa said with a laugh and revealed a triumphant look on her face.

Max didn't have the slightest idea that the bickering between these two had dragged him in and even severed him of his manhood.

His weapons had been declared to be incapable….his third leg couldn't stand...this was a humiliation....

But...it was a good thing that he wasn't listening to them….

Andriel's face twitched a bit on hearing Lisa's words. It was true that Lisa was angry because of her provocation....but to dare to curse her man….

'I have been too soft ever since coming to this dimension…' Andriel thought inwardly. But since it was Lisa, she decided to not do anything serious.

But still, there was a little need for punishment. She had only thought of having a bit of fun….but now…

"Then let's begin…." Andriel said as she leaned forward raised her palm and a white flame-like substance appeared.

She tapped Lisa's forehead with her fingers wrapped around the white flames.

Lisa's eyes soon closed as she seemed to have fallen asleep.

On the other hand, excitement was evident on Andriel's face.

The white flame was nothing but life force.

It was the life force she had sucked out of Max. It was for mom's treatment. But she didn't mind using a bit for her purpose.

She didn't need to use it at all actually, but now that Lisa had gone ahead to say those words, she had to use it.

This life force had a different way of use after all….Andriel couldn't control her joy thinking about the trouble she might end up causing...

As long as Lisa did something, Andriel was sure to have a fun time....

….

Lisa stood in a room. She remembered this place. It was the from when she had come to hear her favorite singer and her father had brought her to get his autograph. She was around 7 or 8 back then….

"You have grown up little girl...how have you been…." Lisa looked ahead to suddenly see a handsome guy standing in front of her.

'It really looks real.. ' Lisa was amazed at the scene in front of her.

"Remember how you said that you loved me? Now that you are finally old enough, I am really happy that the time has come…"

Lisa's face turned dark. She did remember saying something like that. After that her father had almost killed the guy…..for some reason this person had gone bankrupt a few months later….

The guy looked at Lisa with gentleness and love and reached out to grab her arm.

But before he could hold them, Lisa's arms moved and punched a hole through his body.

"Why?" The guy looked in disbelief.

"Pedophile…" Lisa gave him a disdainful look.

The guy was clearly pitiful. He was just being used from her memories. If in the real word, he knew what had happened here today….he would have committed suicide...this girl really was his misfortune...

With that, the scene changed and another event was picked from her school days.

The guy was one of the most handsome in her class. The other girls fawned over him...but who was she? She didn't give a shit bit back then nor did she give a shit now and easily smashed a hole through his face.

The next guy was someone she didn't recognise or she must have forgotten…

Result?

A hole in the chest…

The Next guy was Norek Blaze, a good friend and he had acted as her guard in the Arcane.

But this really enraged Lisa…if this were made from her memory then Andriel clearly knew about this person… and yet….

Poor Norek had no idea how brutal his death was just because of something he had no control over.

Next guy was not recognized…

A hole in the abdomen…

Then there were two more guys from the Branch families….obviously they were outsiders accepted into the family with different surnames….

Result….

Four holes…

These guys had really pissed her off...not to mention they were still trying to flirt and their words made her creep out.

The next guy made her pause a bit…

It was Naze Rim…

"I can't understand you…..your brother is sinking in hatred because of your disappearance… why are you not coming back?" Lisa knew her words wouldn't reach him. But she still couldn't help but say it….

"Let's not talk about him...how ab-"

Before he could even complete his sentence Lisa crushed him.

This guy was annoying as well. He was good at deceiving people. She was clearly not interested in hearing him.

Two more guys appeared and she couldn't remember who they were. It was as if her memories were fuzzy.

Did I meet them somewhere?

The results were the same…

The next person who appeared was Axel.

Lisa looked at him. Her eyes were calm.

"What are you looking at?" Axel asked with a gentle smile. Something which he would probably never show to her.

Lisa shook her head, "Can't believe I even thought you looked cute at some point of time…I should get my eyes checked…''

She had really started to like the times when Axel ran away all flustered at Lisa's sight. She didn't feel anything uncomfortable from him. He wearing his true feelings on his sleeves.

It was clear that he wasn't find of her. Lisa felt that it was perfectly fine. She had after all built a barrier around her to avoid meeting people like Lora anymore. She didn't care if she had less friends. She was fine with having only a few friends that she could trust.

Hence, she thought that it would be fine as long as she won him over and kept going after him day after day not knowing that his hatred was for an entirely another reason...it was Naze's death...

If she knew, he was his brother.. she would gave never crossed path with him. But she didn't know about it at all.

It was very unusual for her to meet a person who treated her like Axel as most people tried to get in her good books.

Well now a lot of people did that...basically every guy in the team didn't care to get in her good books and just treated her like a normal person…so it wasn't unique anymore....

"I realised I was wrong. Please forgive me and give me one more chance. I promise I will make you happy." Axel said as he tried to reach out for her hand.

"You finally realised that your eyes are bad? Go get to the doctor…" Lisa snorted as she smacked away his hand.

Now that she thought about it, why was she acting so vulnerable in the hospital last time?

She didn't realise but the seal on her memories loosening and the flashes of the past had done quite a work on her making her emotionally unstable.

That was the reason for her turning so meek.

After all, she was a person with a bad mouth and aggressive attitude…she had chase Axel despite being hated for a year. This clearly showed that she wasn't easy to be taken down.

She only acted obediently in front of Max because of their unique relationship other who could make her bow.

Still she couldn't deny that she wasn't hurt. The first guy she showed interest in rejected her so brutally.

It was a perfect time for payback…

"Please give me a chance, I will make you happy…." Axel said with sincerity in his eyes.

"I already have a Fiance. You dare to take a look on another's woman…." Lisa said wanting to let him regret his action. Whether she meant it or not was another thing.

She suddenly moved and gave out a light punch, making sure not to end it soon.

After that she carried out a ruthless beating. But the more she beat him, the sadder she got.

Poor Axel, he was trying to rebuild himself and planned to apologise to her….if he could see the scene right now….he might have given his decision another thought.

'What am I doing? It's not like I could have forced him….' She just punched a hole in him and ended it.

'Anyway, my current focus is to increase my strength….' Lisa said as she clenched her fist She wasn't going to let it bother her for too long. She was moving on and it didn't matter to her anymore.

The scene changed once again. Lisa was a bit dejected after the last round and looked at the last boss that had finally appeared.
