The Ancient Genes

Trinity Academy...

"Come one! Don't be such a bum! Let's go out, and have a look around," Eren said with a helpless face as he looked at Axel.

Wilson had already disappeared without anyone knowing, and the same was true for August.

Lisa and Rias had gone out with Aria to travel around as well. They had seemingly brought Kevin along. Well, the guy was pretty handy for carrying stuff, not to mention he even knew where to find the best local delicacies.

Mark on the other had gone to sleep with no plans to enjoy.

Lear on the other hand had gone to hit the gym.. People were literally glaring him all around on the streets and even in the Academy. Still, the Academy was safer than the streets.

Lear was sure that if he went out right now, he would sure to get in some trouble and create a commotion. That was something he definitely didn't want to do here. This made him even more angry with Max, and in the end he decided to take that anger out in the gym.

The rest for some reason or the other weren't present around. It seemed they had left to do something as well when Eren was busy in the washroom. They clearly had forgotten about this guy.

In the end, only he and Axel were left in the living room.

And now he was trying to convince the guy to go out with him.

"Don't you see I am busy?" Axel asked with a frown.

"You are just watching cartoons." Eren said as he looked at his phone.

"Cartoons?" Axel stared at him, "Seriously?"

"What?" Eren asked, seeing Axel giving him that look.

"What do you mean what?! It's called anime! How dare you call it a cartoon?!" Axel shouted in anger.

"Bro, isn't that the same thing?" Eren asked, feeling speechless at his behavior.

"Well, tell me what would you want your daughter to call you?" Axel asked him.

"....Daddy." Eren said after a pause feeling it was too obvious.

"And what if she calls you son?" Axel asked with a clam look.

"That's ridiculous." Eren didn't know how this was all related to what they were talking about, but he decided to be just honest here.

"And, what would you do then?" Axel further asked with a smile.

Eren was getting tired of this game now, "Obviously, correct her."

"There you have it! I am doing the same here." Axel smiled. "So, remember, cartoons are not anime. Don't confuse it."

Eren stood there for a minute deciphering the mental attack he had just received. And, when he finally understood what it was, he really couldn't believe it.

Was there really a need to go to such lengths for it? Couldn't he just say that he thought of anime more highly than cartoons?

"Just watch it later, let's go out for now," Eren waved his hand asking him to put the phone down.

"No way! Do you know how it feels to watch it live? Not to mention, watching it later comes with the risk of being spoiled by someone."

"Bro! Only you watch that dumbsh-"

Axel immediately looked at him with menacing eyes, and Eren paused, "I mean only you watch this stuff...there is no one spoiling you here."

"I don't like taking risks in this department."

Eren really began to grind his teeth in anger.

"Fine! How long will this thing last?!" In the end, he decided to just give up on pursuing him. And, decided to wait for the show to end.

"No use waiting. The Rules regarding the event here are coming within the next hour. So, I will be busy analyzing it. I don't have time to go around today. How about you tomorrow?" Axel asked with a smile.

"You b*stard! Say that from the beginning! Why in hell did I hear your nonsense for so long then?" Eren glared at him before walking out of the place in anger.

…

On the other side…

"Doesn't this look good?" Lisa asked as she picked up the dress, and showed it to Aria.

"Well, it certainly does," Aria said with a nod.

"Then try it!" Lisa pushed the dress in Aria's hand and pushed her towards the trial room.

"Why me? I thoug-"

"No, excuses! Just go and try it!" Lisa said with a smile before turning to join Rias in searching for some more stuff.

…

"Come on Synthia! How long are you planning to puff your cheeks in anger?" Rihanna sighed, before picking a dress from the stands and putting it into Synthia's arm.

"Now, put your anger out, and show me how it looks!" She said with a smile as she dragged the upset girl towards the trial room.

Even as Synthia entered the trial room, Rihanna could still hear her grumbling about it.

"That B*stard! I can't believe he asked me to do something like that!"

"We were at fault, Synthia. Max didn't do anything wrong," Rihann said with a helpless look on her face.

"Still, to think that he would not include me in the top position if I didn't do what he asked for, that was clear blackmailing!" Synthia complained. "Hmph! Noble Houses my foot! And, people even say that Edwinsons' are the most Noble among all the 12 Houses."

"Just what in hell is noble about that two timing jerk?!"

"No matter what you say, even though he has that Walker girl as his Fiance, he still goes around fooling with in the Hotel with that Lor-"

"Enough! Just let it go already! We already discussed that it was not a problem, didn't we?" Rihanna asked with a sigh.

"No, you don't realize it. It might be common in our society. But not his, he is just a pervert! A predator! A cheater!" Synthia retorted. She was just taking her anger out on Max.

It was true though. Polygamy might be common occurrence for them, but it was not so in real world. So, according to the Society's stand, she was right in claiming Max to be what she thought him to be.

…

In the adjacent trial room…

Aria stood there while still in the process of taking out her top. But, she seems to have frozen to her spot after hearing a few things which she probably shouldn't have.
