CHAPTER 39: OVERCONFIDENCE

Asuna, who was sitting at the back, felt like her heart was fluttering like a butterfly.

This feeling was so surreal, but she hadn’t felt something like this before.

And when the girls erupted in applause for Elandor’s courage against a teacher, for some reason she felt proud like she was being praised instead of him.

’Why is this happening?’

’Why am I feeling so emotional because of him?’

’Rainaziel, you are a ruthless girl who has killed countless innocent humans, how can you show such a shy and embarrassed expression like a silly human girl?’

Asuna rapidly tried to brainwash her agitating heart.

After this intense ordeal, I leisurely sat in my seat.

But a deep stare landed on me.

Huh?

Now why is she looking at me like I have wronged her?

Watching the aggrieved face of Asuna, I had question marks in my head.

Bending my head a little to the left where she was sitting, I slowly whispered,

"What’s with this reaction?"

"Have you perhaps started falling for me?"

"Naaaaa"

"Scoundrel!"

I was met with an instant refusal.

"Don’t annoy me and don’t dare drag me into your gamble."

"If you had lost, you would have to give up on our nominal girlfriend-boyfriend relationship."

"Then what would I do if I need you to act as my shield in the future?"

"And I tell you that Claire is a bit tricky. Who knows, maybe our lies will be discovered and we will become a joke in everyone’s eyes."

Asuna replied in a low tone.

"Oh, so you are afraid of this."

"But don’t worry, even if it’s a fake, your boyfriend is a guy who only does things he is sure of."

"I don’t take any unnecessary risk."

I spoke with confidence.

Hearing my smooth explanation, Asuna just snorted.

"This is not confidence but blind overconfidence."

Looking at her irritated face, I felt mischievous.

Once again composing myself, I spoke,

"Actually, even if I had lost, I never planned to play according to the cards."

"Due to losing just a mere agreement with that snitch Beatrix could not stop me from dating a gorgeous girl like you."

I exclaimed like an infatuated man.

My eyes were full of fake sincerity, my words softer than honey.

Getting such an explanation from me, Asuna immediately coughed.

She turned around and muttered,

"Glib tongue."

"Dare flirt with me like this again, and I will make sure that you don’t have a tongue anymore."

In a threatening voice, she exclaimed.

But even if it was a threat, her tone didn’t back her up.

Stomp~

She kicked the floor in frustration, making a subtle sound.

Since the windows were on her left, the sunlight passing through the old window panes illuminated her face in a way never seen before.

I was taken aback for a second.

Even if she was a ruthless killer, her aesthetic beauty score was almost 100, no wonder many students were ready to be a simp for her.

"Still looking so shamelessly?"

Watching me mesmerising her so insincerely, Asuna right away noticed.

"Is it a crime to admire something beautiful?"

I answered subconsciously.

With my words, her eyes shone deep red.

I knew it, she was emotionally stimulated.

It was at this time, I noticed a piece of paper stuck on the right corner of her hair.

Maybe it was because I was still filled with the joy of winning over the arrogant Beatrix, I seemed to have overcome the fear of Asuna’s image of a cruel and heartless woman.

My reflexive actions superseded my reason.

"There is something stuck in your hair, don’t move."

Dragging my body near her seat, with a gentle action, I slowly removed the piece of paper.

"Now, you look even more stunning."

Hearing my steady voice, Asuna’s eyes became even redder, she was definitely being stimulated.

"Those ruby-like red eyes, I wanna keep admiring them, they are really something else:"

With a light chuckle, I returned to my original position like nothing had happened.

My mind was in deep regret.

This was not a date.

If it were a supernatural date I was sure I would have reaped another round of amazing rewards from the emotionally stimulated Asuna

Sighs~

What a pity!

’He touched me again?’

Asuna who was still baffled by my sudden gesture sat there like a sculpture.

Bump bump~

Her heart was beating louder than before.

She felt it might even jump out of her chest if she couldn’t keep her emotions in check.

’This guy, why is he so annoying!’

Although Asuna had turned her head to look down at the playground via the big windows, a smile automatically crept on her cold face, if Elandor saw it- He would be shocked like crazy.

They were unaware, but their interaction was noticed by Parul, who was sitting directly right to Elandor.

’Damn, these guys are sprinkling too much dog food!’

’Oh yes, how could I forget it?’

’Elandor, I can understand it.....you acted so daring in front of Beatrix because you wanted to tell the other boys that you cared deeply about our Rainaziel and wanted them to keep their distance.’

’But this may not be enough, don’t worry!’

’I have a perfect solution for this.’

With a pair of lively eyes, Parul hurriedly started fiddling with her phone.

She straight away opened the school forums and various girls gossip groups on the only social Wize app.

Then opening the gallery folder on her phone, she gritted her teeth before decisively uploading countless videos with big explanations glorifying Elandor’s talent like a saint.

’Elandor, I know I told you that I recorded these videos of yours for keeping a souvenir, but since you think this is a war, let me lend you a handful of ammunition.’

After uploading videos, Beatrix’s face was full of excitement.

"Hey Elandor?"

Parul called out to me.

"Hmm?"

I nodded at her implying I heard her call.

"By tomorrow.... things might explode, don’t blame me okay?"

"I can only support you silently like this."

Parul made a winning fist accompanying her dialogue.
