Another week has passed since the duel, and so things have changed. So of my classmates looked at with fear. While others look at as a form of connection. They were scared of my growth rate. They knew they wouldn't be able to catch up to ever in life. While the others look at as an opportunity for them to make connections.
There were also a lot of talks about the fight, especially talk about Audrey and many kinds of rumors about her. Most of them painted her in a bad light. Despite being one of the tops of her year, she didn't have many friends due to her attitude toward people.
I heard she locked herself in her room, unwilling to seek anyone who wanted to visit. It wasn't shocking, considering anyone would be ashad to show their face if that happened to them.
I was about one-fourth in completing filling my kidney with mana. I still needed about three weeks to complete it; my progress wasn't insufficient, but it felt much slower than the second-rank progression.
My relationship with people hasn't changed much. At most, it improved slightly. The week was just hanging out with Olivia, Serena, and sotis Tess.
It seems peaceful, too peaceful. Will I finally have this peace, at last? I hope nothing terrible will happen. Did I just set a flag for myself? Fuck!
We went to our seats as I went to my class with Serena. There was a note on my desk, reading it I felt nervous.
"If you don't want your secret as a boy to be leaked, et at the pond near the fountain by the forest. I will be there at midnight." That is what the note said. It had a winking face at the end of the ssage.
To think soone put a note in front of my desk where anyone would be able to see it. While so of my classmates would take it as a joke, the chance of being found out would be higher if they did see it. I shuddered at the thought of not going to class today.
Using my magic, I burned the note. I don't feel so good. Waves of depression fell on reading this note. Turning my head to the window, I saw my reflection. My face was paler than usual. Maybe I should just head ho and wait.
No, it would be too suspicious if I left too early. While I was in my thoughts, soone tapped my shoulder, and my body shook from the shock I had received.
"Charlie, are you feeling well? You look paler than usual." My neighbor Serena asked , concerned about my well-being.
Just as I was about to say sothing, our teacher ca in. I looked at Serena and told her I would talk to her after class.
Having all these thoughts on who the blackmailer could be, class ended. I couldn't focus on class. Everything the teacher said went past my ears. All my mind was on who and why they sent that ssage to .
Serena, beside , asked if I was still feeling ill. I was still nervous about the note. After all, it was scary to know nothing about the person who sent it.
"I will talk to you about it at ho." I didn't want anyone to overhear what I said. That would be asking for trouble. She nodded, knowing that it was sothing sensitive.
Just as we were about to head out, our classmate called us out. "Miss Solaris, Miss Celeste, are you both free today? We would like to invite you to go shopping with us!" She was nervous about talking to us. We're from a higher-status family.
It was nice that their group invited us, but it had to be today out of all the days. "Sorry, I have so plans already. However, I would like to join you if you have other plans for another day." I said as politely as I possibly could.
They were dejected when I rejected them. Serena also declined their invitation seeing that there was sothing wrong. Leaving , Serena and Olivia t up at the front gate of our school.
Olivia, who saw , didn't ask if anything was wrong. It was a good thing that I could keep a straight face when I needed to cover up that sothing was wrong.
I arrived ho with both of my housemates. Changing out of our uniform, I lay on my bed, taking a pillow to hug. Serena, who knew sothing was wrong, went and sat beside and gave a pillowed lap. Her thighs were squishy and easy to sink into.
Olivia, who was just there, is confused by my attitude. "Is there sothing wrong?" Olivia asked.
"Soone knows about my identity and asked to et them at night." So I went straight towards the point and told them what had happened earlier.
p
"Do you need us to co with you?" Olivia was nervous when she said that.
"We should follow him, making sure he is safe." Serena followed up on Olivia's question. She wasn't having it that soone threatened .
"I know this isn't the best option, but I want to go alone." I know it was incredibly stupid of to say this, but there was a chance that the person who sent this had a way to deal with Olivia and Serena if they had gone.
"Since they sent this ssage, they wouldn't physically harm ." They could have done that when I was alone, it was stupid to send this and harm right after sending it. They might have wanted sothing of . All I needed to do was wait for the appointed ti.
