Before the class could spiral into rage and despair, Ysabella stood up with fierce determination. Once again, her skirts rose slightly, revealing her pale thighs that aroused curiosity about their texture.
"Don't be upset, guys! I'm sure there's a good reason why we were put in Class-E. Isn't it better? Unlike Class-A, who will face attacks from all other classes immediately, we can work hard, show our efforts, and rise up to become Class-A! I believe we can definitely do it!"
Her voice was filled with so much conviction that several eyes gazed at her in adoration. Immediately, their thoughts began to shift. Ysabella was right. Once they worked hard, they'd surely surpass other classes and become Class-A. Immediately, they began to smile, bringing a bit of relief to Liam.
"Why are we worried? Damn, I almost feel like an idiot."
"Idiot? Hahahaha! I wasn't worried at all! We can definitely become a dark horse in the race!"
"Ptui! You liar! Weren't you the one panicking?"
"Me? Panicking? In your dreams!"
The atmosphere turned harmonious as they all chatted happily, their adrenaline and morale boosted greatly.
Still, a few who understood the true implication of Liam's explanation were silent. Sebastian, still unbothered, only smiled and uttered a single word.
"Fools."
Although they heard him, they ignored him. No one wanted to waste energy arguing with that blonde narcissist.
At the back of the class, Hazel's expression remained dark and cold, radiating an unnerving aura. Even Ariel had to look back after sensing a bit of murderous intent from her. Although he wanted to ask what was wrong, her expression made him think otherwise.
"Settle down, classes are starting."
Instructor Rina walked into the class, instantly quelling their chatter, then began the first lecture of the day.
...
Lunch break arrived quickly, and students immediately dispersed to the cafeteria. Although everyone was provided with a cooking gas, not many students were fond of cooking. So, they preferred ordering food at the cafeteria rather than eating homemade food.
Today, Kaiser happened to be heading to the cafeteria again. Because he slept late, he could only do his daily exercises, and didn't have time to cook. Therefore, he was headed to the cafeteria to buy lunch. Suddenly, his senses tingled and he tensed.
'What now?'
From behind him, he saw a blur of blonde leap at him. He wanted to sidestep and dodge, but that meant the person would slam into the wall face-first. With no other choice, he waited for the impact.
"Kaiser!"
A pleasant voice rang out as he felt two balls of incredible softness press against him. A pleasant scent, like that of gentle roses, wafted into his nose, while a pair of arms wrapped around his neck.
"You're tightening my neck, Ysabella."
He said flatly, then extricated himself from her hold. When he turned to her, the blonde girl giggled cutely, then stepped close to him.
"Sorry, I was just being cheeky. You're not angry, are you?"
She stepped closer, almost erasing the distance between them.
Kaiser didn't retreat, his head slightly lowered to look at her.
'Goodness gracious… is this how she relates with everyone? No, I don't think so. This girl is weird.'
He gazed into her gentle green eyes, then tilted his head.
"What if I am angry?"
Ysabella blinked, seemingly surprised by his answer to her question. Any normal guy would have definitely denied anger. After all, she had initiated such a close contact with him, bordering intimacy. Still, she regained her composure and smiled sweetly.
"Then I'll have to beg you till you forgive me. You won't punish me, right?"
She tiptoed, bringing herself closer to him. By now, Kaiser could feel those large assets pressed against his chest. Even then, he didn't move back or waver, shamelessly enjoying the sensation with an indifferent heart. A single glance at the other students passing by was enough to make him realize that their position was a bit ambiguous.
"I am not angry. Just a bit displeased. There's no need to punish you, yet."
Hearing his answer, Ysabella's eyes widened, and she shivered.
'W-what is this feeling? I feel weird… hot.'
Although she was used to teasing boys with her seductive body, she wasn't used to being teased. Kaiser's words, which seemed to have a hidden meaning, made her feel weird.
'He's still displeased? Even after I'm pressed this much against him? Tch.'
She scowled inwardly, but retained her perfect smile. Giggling softly, she stepped back.
"Sorry, I just didn't want to miss you among the crowd."
Kaiser nodded nonchalantly, then dusted himself.
"Apology accepted. Now, if you'll excuse me…"
"Wait!"
Ysabella quickly grabbed his arm, stopping him. He didn't look back, but simply asked.
"Yes?"
Ysabella felt her cheeks twitch at his attitude, but she immediately stepped beside him, walking towards the cafeteria.
"You promised me you'll talk about the movie you watched yesterday night."
Kaiser hummed softly, then answered. "Is that so? What do you want to know about the movie?"
The girl smiled brighter, her steps light. "I want to know if it's really that interesting! Come on, tell me."
Kaiser sighed. "It depends on what perspective you judge the movie from. If you're someone interested in Ancient Eastern Culture, then it is interesting."
Her eyes widened, and she stuck out her tongue cutely.
"Ah? I guess it'll be really interesting then."
She turned to him, a curious, but teasing expression on her face.
"It doesn't have indecent scenes, right?"
Kaiser glanced at her once, then turned away. "It has. Lots of smut scenes and erotica."
His reply stunned her as she froze, her eyes widened. She had only meant to tease him, and see him fervently deny it. However, he had crushed her expectations with a neutral expression, and admitted that there were smut scenes in the movie. What kind of guy admits watching indecent movies to a girl?
"Just joking."
At that moment, Kaiser's chuckle reached her ears, making her flush in embarrassment. He had been teasing her? She was the one who wanted to tease him, however, now their roles were reversed.
Pouting slightly, she immediately caught up to him, then complained.
"Muu, don't you dare tease me again!"
Kaiser nodded perfunctorily, his thoughts unknown to her.
'Goodness gracious… what kind of persistent organism have I attracted?'
It seemed she was determined on staying with him, till lunch break ended.
