Nikki was gasping, her breathing was quite hot and her face was red. Her chest was quite heaving and she felt cold, her body was trembling.
Calix was anxious and started looking around. At this time, the best thing he could do was to bring Nikki to the nearest hospital or call an ambulance. Calix had an option, because of Yuna, Calix realized the concept of fast travel. Heck, last time, Yuna fetched him from the top of the mountain because he was training. With one image, as long as Yuna memorized the scenery, she could create a portal.
Calix opened his phone and contacted her.
"Yuna, I need your help."

......
...
They took Nikki to a clinic, apparently, she was just exhausted and she needed a proper rest. Calix realized that they were actually lifting weights for five hours straight. Even a strong bodybuilder would have a hard time after that. So even Nikki, a healthy soldier, would faint after that. She was not a Term Attribute User, she is just an ordinary woman who has slightly greater strength than a normal person.
Calix sighed, he didn't expect this. He thought that a five hours gym was the norm because that's how he grew up. Witnessing his father lifting 200 pounds barbells without a problem.
His common sense was already broken ever since childhood.
He massaged his forehead and glanced at the three girls.
"Hah, I can't believe that she is this pathetic."
Marianne scoffed. She crossed her arms, looking at the sleeping Nikki. They brought her back to her room so that she could take a rest peacefully.
Marianne hated weak people, so seeing a person like Nikki made her frown. Furthermore, Nikki was officially a member of their unit. This meant that her well-being was their responsibility, in a way. Right now, they were fighting monsters almost every day, yet one of them was sick.
"Tch, I know that Kimberly woman is not good. I shouldn't trust her--"
"Marianne, shut your mouth."
Scarlett said, she didn't want any unnecessary noise.
As expected, Marianne still had her awful behavior, she still treated people weaker than her as nothing but bugs. Marianne is Marianne, just because she fell in love didn't mean that she would change. She is still a sadistic woman who likes making fun and ridiculing weak people.
"Huh, what are you going to do?"
Marianne said, looking at Scarlett without any fear. In fact, she was ready to slap Scarlett at any moment, they didn't have chemistry in the first place.
"This woman..."
The atmosphere gradually turned hot but it quickly became cold too, two elements were fighting and ready to bite each other. Because both of them were 2nd Advanced, gained their second ability, and had strong pride, Marianne and Scarlett understood that once they fight, one of them would be greatly injured or die.
Scarlett still couldn't forgive Marianne for what she did to Calix.
Marianne wanted to have Calix all for herself, and Scarlett is the greatest problem.
If one of them died, then the fishbones in their throats would be lessened. As for Yuna, she was watching on the sideline, hoping that one of them would die. Girls, they are frightening creatures.
However, just before the two cast their spells and turned this place into a punk hazard, Calix stopped them just with one word.
That's it, but the heaviness when he said it was powerful. They almost kneeled, the pressure behind that word made them weak.
Calix didn't want any problem right now. He massaged his forehead, these girls were indeed hard to control. He was wondering what would happen if he disappeared, these girls would definitely go crazy and be devastated. He became like this because he had affection for them.

"Hmmph!"
Marianne harrumphed and turned around, she came out of the room. She looked once at Calix, she wanted to apologize but her pride as a noble High-Elf won't let her do it. It would be better if Calix was the one to apologize first, but Marianne was not stupid. She knew that she was the bad one here.
'Who cares, I'm always the bad one. And I'll never change, I'm just working on this team to slowly snatch Calix. That's my plan and it didn't change at all. His power is enough to make someone a God... I'm not doing this because I love him, definitely not.'
She thought of an excuse while walking away. The sounds of her steps resonated in the hallway.
Love, sometimes it brings pain and sorrow. But people couldn't help but fall in love, because living is love.
Scarlett, Yuna, and Calix were left behind.
Scarlett wanted to say something but she knew that this was not the right time. Particularly when Athena was lingering around, Scarlett had an inkling that Athena knew about her relationship with Calix, but she didn't want to act lovey-dovey in front of Athena. So she gritted her teeth and left.
"Hey! What are you doing!?"
But before she left, she took Yuna with her. Scarlett understood that this sly pink-haired woman would attack once the obstacle disappeared.
"Calix, are you going to stay?"
Scarlett asked.
"Yeah, I'm the reason why she fainted so I have to take care of her. I'm sorry, I'll treat you to dinner next time."
Calix said, slightly smiling.
"No, I'm fine with your cooking. I want a homemade Hawaiian Pizza."
Scarlett said and gave him a peck on his lip.
"Got it, I'll make one tomorrow."
"Bye-bye."
Scarlett and Yuna came out of the room and walked away.
"Hey, are you serious? You want to poison Calix?"
Yuna raised her brow. She couldn't believe that Scarlett asked for an abomination of food.
Scarlett stopped walking and glared at her.
"Hawaiian pizza is lit!"
She said but Yuna shook her head instead.
"Fine, fine. I guess I'll prepare some laxatives."
Yuna replied and teleported. Since the time she deciphered her Term Attribute, Yuna found walking tiring.
