Reborn Regress Return: I Am the Heir of Shadows!-Chapter 28: After Dwelling on Negative Thoughts!

"It won't connect, what should I do..."

Sena grasped her phone while sitting on her bed, its shattered screen like a spider's web. She tapped the dark panel to call Julian using speed dial, eager to hear his voice.

She anxiously bit her lips and flung herself against the soft sheets, bouncing and placing an arm across her face. "What if he doesn't come today?"

Her mind filled with strange scenes of Julian rejecting her. He asked to stop meeting and playing with her. These things caused her chest to pound. Unable to calm herself, she covered her face and bit her forearm.

'I didn't even mind! Why did I react so badly?'

Although she knew Julian wouldn't let her down, she couldn't forget him breaking up with her a few weeks before. Sena wanted to hear his voice and enjoy his laughter when he teased her.

"I removed them on purpose, what did I expect?"

Because her attempts to call Julian failed, Sena climbed from bed and staggered to her closet. "What should I wear?" She presumed Julian would arrive soon if he didn't change his mind.

"Why are you so stressed?" A deep, feminine voice came from the living room.

Sena turned her attention to a sexy woman with emerald eyes, long red hair, and a seductive figure who waved when she moved her gaze.

"Oh, it's Maria. Are you going out again?"

Sena became curious about the handsome guy Maria mentioned. In the past, she worried Maria would target Julian, as she always tried to avoid them meeting. However, since Maria liked another man, Sena didn't need to worry any longer.

"Yeah, my dad wants me to help with something at home, and..."

"You fancy meeting that hot guy again?"

Because of her broken phone, Sena didn't want to speak about this topic too long, but seeing her friend so happy. She couldn't help but support her after knowing each other so well.

"Yeah, though he probably has someone anyway. All the hot guys do."

"Right! Or he's gay?"

"Haha, Don't jinx it Sena... this time, I think I will go for it."

"Oh my, good luck." Sena's eyes shone, feeling a little uplifted listening to Maria's decision.

Maria soon left to meet her father, slamming the door while Sena started to adjust her clothes and makeup. "I will also do my best!" Energised by Maria's choice, she wore the tight and slightly revealing training outfit that clung to the skin.

'It's so snug and cold, ah? I can see the outline of everything...'

She didn't like the stretchy material used for this training gear because it showed everything on display. Thanks to that, the Sports Body for Women banned this outfit from their college and events.

Sena didn't mind because she wouldn't be leaving the private building, and nobody but Maria or Julian could see her like this. Well, she aimed to show Julian to forget last night.

"I should go down and wait for him, I feel so naked."

'What if he doesn't like it?'

The reflection in the mirror and the worries in her mind clashed as Sena stood in her private lift, biting her lips as she sank her teeth deep enough to tear her plump pink lips.

"Phew, I can do this."

From the moment Julian left his apartment, he sensed a strange emotion bubbling under the surface. Julian couldn't keep pushing Sena's request back, but he would rather not hurt her, either.

"Why do I feel this way?"

He didn't understand why he lusted after multiple women when in the past nothing like that happened before. In a perfect world, he would cut off all emotions that weren't needed.

However, the ten years spent after Sena died and his life of sleeping with various women before the regression seemed to have buried a strange desire, or hunger, deep within his psyche.

A redhead who resembled someone from his past, and a strange Demi-human with an innocent and strange body.

'Forget it. There's no reason to focus on stupid things.

I only have three days to prepare before the RMT service starts and people get used to the game world before I can take advantage.'

Because of his situation, Julian knew he could never count on a guild. For him to advance, he'd need to have someone help him, be it Sena or another player. Most of his time would be spent in the Nightmare world.

"It seems she's waiting for me..." He muttered, seeing the lights already switched on in the training hall.

Not long after the call died, Julian tried to connect to her several times. He wanted to avoid her wrath. Sena could get aggressive when upset about something, so Julian planned to soothe her first.

'That failed, maybe she broke the phone. At least that's what I hope.'

Julian sucked in a deep breath, the cool and refreshing morning air filling his lungs as he stepped to the door and entered the passcode. But he never expected the sight he would find.

Click!

Bleep!

Once the door opened, the echoes of Sena's sharp shouts each time she struck ten times echoed throughout the gym.

Her lovely face dripped with sweat, while the tight Lycra dug into her crotch and crushed her chest. The excitement of training and blood flow caused her cherries to be exposed.

'Wow!'

Julian couldn't be a saint after his filthy and sinful past lives.

However, Sena's current outfit tempted his lust more than a glimpse of her naked body, or flashing over a phone's camera.

"Hah! Hap!"

Gulp!

He couldn't help but swallow his saliva while walking closer, unaware he avoided making a sound, as Sena swung her bokken with ferocious energy. Julian's chest throbbed.

Both his desire to fight Sena and other desires surged through his raging blood.

Sena's body remained straight, constant strikes without making a mistake. Her training and focus on her basics each day became part of her future strength. By now, Sena must have realised that she could increase attributes while doing so.

'After all, Sena is one of a kind.'

Julian's hand grasped the spare bokken and approached her with slow and paced steps. He couldn't match her in strength, being an Evoker, but with intense training, pure persistence and grit, he swore to remain only a step behind her.

"Hah!" Sena's voice reverberated.

The next moment, he lunged forward, stabbing his bokken towards her abdomen, causing her eyes to flick to him. She instantly adjusted, but because of the surprise attack, his bokken struck her chest, jabbing her breast.

Tak!

With a swift recovery, she held the left side of her chest while deflecting the second blow with a sweeping strike.

"Julian!"

This time Julian stepped back, as her blue bokken cut through the air, several strikes aimed at his body, forcing him to retreat, but his eyes remained focused on the tip of her blade.

Tak!

Tak!

Tak!

"Sena!"

Julian's gaze remained fixated on Sena as the clash of bokken fell silent.

Step!

Their bodies moved in rapid succession.

Her strikes and counters flowed like a graceful dance, each motion precise and powerful. The tight training outfit outlined her lean abs, and her alluring marshmallows, every line and curve a part of her pride.

His pulse quickened, unable to remove his gaze, watching her agile steps and her sweat-darkened hair flicker through the air like a banner in the morning sun. He gripped his bokken, a brief sense of regret crossing his features with each misstep.

Yet, his glance carried an obvious admiration, mixed with a quiet, unspoken envy.

Tak!

Then, as if in response to his silent yearning, Sena's eyes softened and a half-smile curled her lips—an implicit acknowledgement that made his heart skip a beat.

Tak!

Their bokken clashed before their movements paused. The intensity of their duel yielded a fleeting and delicate connection. Her eyes narrowed, blowing a kiss, but as his eyes widened, she resumed her assault like a bolt of lightning with renewed rhythm.

Thereafter, the hall filled with the sound of wood hitting wood and the panting and grunts of a young man and woman.

"Haa... haa..."

Later, as the afternoon sun started rising, they headed towards the shower rooms, eager to wash away the day's exhaustion and arousal.

Julian's breath caught at the sight—captivated by the radiant beauty that had emerged from the shower, gazing at the opposite room with a faint smile.

The water cleaned the sweat and dirt from Sena's face and hair, instantly transforming her into an angelic beauty, as she shone with black hair and vivid opal eyes under the dim sunlight.

The image of her radiant face, free of her previous burdens, made him unable to turn away.

"What's wrong, Julian, hehe~ am I pretty?"

A cute and teasing voice, but he could only answer honestly as his body cleared the distance and wrapped his palms around her cheeks, lifting her chin with his thumb, while staring down into her huge golden orbs.

"Extremely, I can't take my eyes away from you."
