WARLORD VS AMBITIOUS GIRL
017. A CHALLENGE

"You'd better go home, I'll go to your house after this." Tania Seru.

"How about we just study here?" Ares answered by blinking his eyes a few times. "You live in that room, right? Let's study there." Ares stepped in the direction where Tania lived.

"Go home, we'll study at your house." Tania cried coldly stopping Ares's steps.

"Why? You even waited for me in my room. You go in my room, why doesn't it seem like I'm going to go to your room?" Ares asked with seductive intentions.

Kayden seemed to dislike hearing what Ares had just said. The man snorted by turning his gaze away for a moment then looked back at the young man who was his disciple.

"You learn inside. I'll keep an eye on you both while studying." Kayden Excited.

Tania thought for a moment and it seemed like it was a good idea. Kayden was their homeroom teacher after all, so he should have watched them both study. He should have even participated in helping delinquent students learn like Ares.

"Well, I'll be there after I change my clothes." Said Tania after stepping towards her residence.

"Where are you going?" Kayden asked as he watched Ares follow Tania.

"I'll wait for him there." Ares replied stopping his steps and turned to Kayden.

"You don't hear me, he's gonna change his clothes?" Kayden said in wonder.

"She once told me that she would do anything to get me back to school, just a kiss or something else—"

"Don't say much, come in!" Kayden interrupted Ares as he walked into his house.

Ares brightens his smile because the young man deliberately warms up to the man he guessed liked Tania.

Whistling Ares entered Kayden's house and followed the teacher to the kitchen where there was a dining table.

"Sit there first. I'll change my clothes first." Kayden told Ares to sit at the dinner table waiting for him.

Ares sat at the dining table as Kayden climbed to the second floor to change clothes in his room. The young man put his bag down while rolling his eyes around the house.

Feeling unsatisfied, the young man got up from his seat and went around to the house. He saw a family photo on the wall of the house. A picture of Kayden with the two men's parents.

Kayden's father was a pilot who often traveled abroad so very rarely at home.

Ares's eyes point to a small figura on top of the bupet under the family photo. A picture of Kayden with a man who was his best friend.

"What are you doing there?"

Kayden's voice slightly surprised Ares so the young man turned to her who was coming down the stairs.

"It's true that you and Symphony are friends." Ares said he saw his cousin along with Kayden in the photo.

The picture was taken when the Symphony presented a medal after its cousin won an international motor racing event. Kayden stood beside him. Yes, Ares' cousin is a young professional racer whose career is shining.

"When you're in someone's house you better stay quiet and not go around." Kayden exclaimed a little annoyed at Ares' attitude.

Kayden walked straight to the kitchen to prepare for dinner. Ares followed.

"So you're a force with The Three Musical?" Ares asked as he sat back in the chair where he had been sitting.

The Three Musical is the young man's twin cousin who was famous in their former school. Rhapsody, Harmony and Symphony. No one does not know them, like no one does not know The Three Musketeers, one of whom is his father.

"I heard that Symp's best friend was a racer too when they were in school. But I don't know why he's stopped racing wild after school. No one even knows what he's doing right now. Is that you, Master?" Look at Ares full of probes.

Kayden sighed and stopped from cutting the vegetables, then turned to look at Ares who was looking at him.

"Yes, it's me. That's the past. I think almost men will do a lot of things at your age. You are too, right?" Kayden.

"Then does that mean you're not doing it? I mean, you're not racing anymore?" Ask Ares again.

"I told you, it's the past. I'm a teacher so there's no time to do it anymore." Kayden answered, standing three meters from Ares, by the kitchen table.

"none. I just did it to fill my free time first. I have absolutely no intention of being a racer." Kayden turned around and returned to doing his activities that had been delayed.

"Then do you want to race with me?" Ares looked at her seriously even though only Kayden's back was being stared at.

Kayden again snorted in annoyance as he turned to Ares again. The man's emotions were ignited but held back.

"I told you, it's all the past. I won't do it again, let alone compete with my own students. Do you understand?" Kayden was upset.

"The Bloody Rose... Is that you?" Ares asked looking into Kayden's eyes in full search.

Kayden did not answer. The situation was silent because the man was still thinking about what he would answer.

"What are you talking about?"

Tania's voice broke the silence. The two people who were staring at each other turned their eyes on the girl.

"Nothing." Answer Kayden. "You can study while I make dinner." Kayden continued making dinner.

Carrying her school bag, Tania sat on a chair beside Ares. The girl took out her books and opened them.

"Have you read the notes I lent you? Tomorrow there's a Biology test, if you've actually read it it's not going to be hard to do." Said Tania with a flat tone of voice as usual.

"Ba—how can I read such a writing? Your writing is very small and connected to each other. I don't think reading it with a microscope can." Ares complains while taking out Tania's notebook and showing her the girl's writing. "No ordinary person can read this."

Hearing him Tania snatched her book while holding back her emotions so as not to be provoked and angry.

"Sir, teacher can you read the writing? If you can, you'll be superhuman." Oceh Ares on Kayden.

"You're right, all teachers complain about the same thing about his writing, so they ask him to always write capital letters while doing the essay exam." Kayden replied, turning to Ares occasionally. "It's a good thing I teach math, so I don't have to ask for it."

Hearing him Ares chuckled while Tania became even more annoyed because she was reviled like that by the two men in the place.

"Are you two the same? In this world, all the men wrote nothing that could be read. That makes you a math teacher, too, Kay?" Tania did not want to lose to defend herself.

Kayden did not answer because Tania's words were not entirely wrong. The man chose to re-prepare the ingredients in making the girl's favorite seafood fried noodles.

"And you, that's also your reason why you didn't record the lesson, right?" Tania looked at Ares.

Ares grunted in response. To him what Tania said was a mistake.

"I was just lazy to take notes, and again I never went to school so how do I record the lessons?" Ares answered with his lips.

"Alright, then you have to prove it. I want to see how good you've written." Tania exclaimed, her gaze getting colder with a hint of annoyance.

"Okay, no problem. I'll show you my writing. If my writing is good, then you should do as I ask. You dare?" Challenge Ares.

"Alright, I'm sure you're just bragging. You have to write fast. How's it?" Tania doesn't want to lose. "The same applies if you prove to be just bragging."

Ares smiled at her, then looked back at Kayden who had already looked at the two of them.

"Guru, you're the judge. You'll judge my writing."

"Yes, I don't think it's a problem." Kayden answered Ares.

"Yosh, you can read that note you wrote. Read it quickly, I'll take it down quickly as well." Said Ares while stretching on his hand.

Tania just snorted to hear and see Ares's behavior.

"I'll ask for something beyond your expectations when I win." Ares cried with confidence.
