Matthew Atkinson
London
Seeing Amy was stopping him, Matthew was slightly stunned.
'What can she possibly want from me?' Matthew thought.
"Matthew... I heard from my best friend that you like me and even secretly wrote me a love letter. Is that true?"
Amy Barker was talking to him, but her eyes were fixed on the crystal box in Matthew's hand.
Without waiting for Matthew to answer, she continued, "If you give me the Flame-Flame Fruit, I… I will agree to be your girlfriend!"
Hearing this, Matthew was stunned.
It wasn't totally a surprise, but it was still shocking!
This girl...how narcissistic must she be to have the nerve to say such things?
Does she think she has diamonds down there?
Seeing that Matthew hadn't spoken for a long time, Amy finally took her eyes off the crystal box and looked at Matthew in confusion.
"Matthew? Why aren't you talking? Can't you believe it? I'm serious. If you're willing to give me the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'll be your girlfriend now. You can treat me to a meal and give me gifts today..."
Speaking of this, Amy deliberately showed a shy expression.
But she felt very disgusted in her heart.
Because Matthew did not fit the image of the perfect boyfriend in her mind, she just said those words to trick Matthew into giving her the Flame-Flame Fruit.
Amy had already made up her mind. Once she managed to get the Flame-Flame Fruit, she would pretend to be nice and deal with Matthew for a few days. Then she would find a reason to kick Matthew away.
She believed that by then, no one would say anything to her.
She was a little fairy who was willing to waste several days acting with Matthew. Isn't that enough?
Did she think there was a chance her plan would fail? Definitely not!
Amy Barker was very confident about her appearance.
In the past, as long as she acted like a spoiled child, those simps would do anything for her.
And at that time, Matthew finally responded to Amy.
"If you're sick, you should get treatment!"
After saying this, he left without even looking at Amy.
Matthew felt that saying one more word about such arrogance would be a waste of breath.
He actually wanted to yell "Fuck off", but he was in public, surrounded by students and teachers, and he had just become the focus of attention. Even the TV station's camera was still facing him... He had to maintain his image.
Even if Matthew didn't start scolding, this short sentence still made Amy Barker stand there in a daze, with an expression of disbelief on her pretty face.
Did he reject her?
That could not be right!
In her god-level thinking, the script would definitely not develop like this!
She has already made it clear. As a simp, shouldn't Matthew be so excited that he couldn't even speak, and then offer the Flame-Flame Fruit with both hands to her?
Why was the real situation completely different from what she imagined?
What went wrong?
For a moment, Amy stood there blankly, not knowing what to do...
…
When Matthew returned to the gathering point, various noises were immediately heard around him.
"Fuck! Matthew, mate, you're ruthless; you've rejected her so bluntly. If I were you, I'd coax her and take advantage of her first!"
"Haha, Damian, that's all you can do! What Boss Matthew is holding is a Logia Devil Fruit! As long as he eats it, there will be no problem finding a woman for him."
"Matthew is really going to be rich this time. How ridiculous is it that someone is still so delusional, thinking that they can trick Matthew into giving them the Flame-Flame Fruit with just a few words?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. That's just how vixens are. They always feel like the world revolves around them."
"Hehe! Amy Barker's expression of disbelief just now was quite funny..."
The students were talking in low voices.
Some people even called him "Boss Matthew" in a tone of flattery.
Matthew couldn't help but sigh. The power of the Logia Devil Fruit was truly extraordinary. He hadn't even eaten it yet, but he had already become the focus of the entire audience.
Meanwhile, on the stage, the ceremony of the Holy Land continued.
At this time, the vice-president looked at the list and called out a name:
"Next, Natalie Russell!"
As soon as this name came out, all the students in Class 2 cheered up.
The impression of this person immediately appeared in Matthew's mind.
A straight-A student! Super academic talent!!
In terms of academic performance, Natalie Russell absolutely crushed the entire grade. She consistently ranked first in every exam.
In addition, Natalie was also very beautiful, even more outstanding than Amy Barker.
With good grades and good looks, Natalie has always been the most dazzling student in the class. All the girls in Class 2 felt like they were living under her shadow.
It was said that Natalie Russell's family is also very well off...
If there were really a flaw in this girl, it would be her cold temperament.
Natalie Russell's temperament was as cold as ice! Her face was almost always solemn and intimidating.
Many students thought about it carefully and realized that they had never seen Natalie smile in the three years they had been in the same class.
So many girls who were jealous of her scolded her behind her back for pretending to be cool.
It was this coldness that discouraged many boys who had feelings for Natalie Russell. In the end, the result was that Amy Barker became more popular than Natalie Russell!
Because Amy was not cold, on the contrary, she often acts coquettishly and smiles at those who are smitten, giving many of them false illusions.
…
Quickly, Natalie Russell walked up to the platform and stepped into the Holy Land.
Many students were watching carefully.
They all wanted to know whether this ice beauty could get any opportunity.
A few seconds later, Natalie walked out of the Holy Land, carrying a crystal box in her hand...
The vice-principal next to her immediately asked, "Student Russell, what's in your crystal box?"
After hearing the vice-principal's question, Natalie fell silent. There was no joy on her pretty face for having obtained a supernatural opportunity. Instead, she looked sad and disappointed.
It was clear at a glance that what the girl got was definitely not a good thing.
A moment later, Natalie calmed down a bit before speaking, "It's a Kryptonian Bloodline Card."
Her voice is clear and crisp, and she speaks in a pleasant tone.
But at this moment, no one cared about her voice.
When everyone heard what she said, many people were stunned.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of discussion arose from the audience.
"Is she actually got a Kryptonian Bloodline? I don't know whether to say she's lucky or unlucky."
"Yes! Although the probability of Kryptonian Bloodline appearing is extremely rare, it is actually a useless bloodline and does not improve the supernatural body in any way."
"What are you talking about? Is Kryptonian Bloodline really so bad?"
"What? You still don't know about the legendary Kryptonian Bloodline? The probability of its appearance is minimal. Over the course of more than a hundred years, there have been only two recorded cases. It's even rarer than a Mythical Beast-type Zoan Devil Fruit. However, despite its rarity, it has no special abilities... Therefore, the Kryptonian Bloodline is also known as the most bizarre and useless bloodline."
"Lennox, you're being too absolute. The rule in the Holy Land is that the rarer the supernatural opportunity, the more powerful it is. There are still many experts who believe that the Kryptonian Bloodline must have some extraordinary qualities, but it just hasn't been discovered yet."
"Haha, can you believe what those experts say? This is just a pure, useless bloodline!"
…
Many people were familiar with the Kryptonian Bloodline.
Therefore, the teachers on the stage were naturally very disappointed with Natalie Russell's results.
The expressions on the students' faces in the audience were different. Surprise, sympathy, amusement, regret...all kinds of expressions are there.
Especially in Class 2, most of the girls looked gloating.
It was not that Natalie Russell had bad relationships with people; she had never offended anyone. It was just that she was too outstanding, which aroused the envy, jealousy, and hatred of these girls.
Including some boys in the class. They were also very dissatisfied with Natalie's usual coldness.
Now, finally seeing that Natalie Russell was in a bad situation and had obtained such a bizarre supernatural opportunity, how can they not gloat over his misfortune?
Among the crowd, only Matthew had a different expression.
At this moment, his eyes were wide open, his face full of shock!
'What did I just hear? Kryptonian Bloodline? Isn't that Superman?'
