AS SOON as Neoma felt Tteokbokki's scales melt on her face, she gasped. Then, knowing that she couldn't move in time to avoid Lewis's punch, she just closed her eyes and waited to be hit.
But as expected, she felt Lewi's energy wave but it went passed her without hitting her. That meant he stopped his fist when it was only a breath's face away from the tip of her nose.
When she opened her eyes, she confirmed that she was right.
"Sorry, Princess Neoma," Lewis said, then he dropped his arm to his side. "Did I hurt you?"
"Nope," Neoma said with a smile, satisfied to know that Lewis noticed when her 'Gear Mode' was suddenly "switched off." "Good job, Lewis."
He just nodded, then he pulled out the ointment from the pocket of his pants.
Then, he silently put the gel in the ointment that felt like aloe vera on her skin. It was cool and sticky.
