"Damn it!" Eric was furious. His hands were originally clean and had little destructive power, so he grabbed a lump of coal the size of a fist and chased after Arthur, intending to smear it on his face.
Arthur was no longer the teenager of similar height to Eric from the past. Since the incident with Evan, everyone seemed to have changed, and Arthur was no exception. Now, Arthur was a whole head taller than Eric.
He only needed to lean sideways to dodge Eric's attack, and his speed was visibly faster. Eric, with a face smeared with black handprints, chased until he was out of breath but still couldn't touch Arthur, so he had to pant and give up.
"Hmph!" Eric huffed in anger, having to use the cleansing spell on himself again.
Seeing that Eric was tired, Arthur approached, looked down at him with bright, glittering eyes, and said, "Don't be angry anymore, I'll let you smear me."
