"So, tell about her…"
At Allen's request, Mia stopped eating the ice cream and began to tell him what Allen wanted to know.
"That girl, Risa… she's crazy… No, I would say, she definitely has so screws loose in her head…"
Mia's facial expressions turned complicated while talking,
"Just the other day… she was reading a book on 'How to make a soup out of a human's intestines while keeping the person alive'… That book has such horrible images in it that I still get nightmares rembering it…"
"The man in the picture was screaming at the top of his lungs while they were boiling his innards right in front of him… It was horrible to look at… ugh.."
Hearing Mia's words, Airin trembled in fear while clutching the hem of Allen's sleeves tightly.
She has a weak heart, and she gets scared easily; hearing about torture makes her frightened out of her wits.
Even Allen frowned deeply after hearing those words; he knew that Mia wouldn't lie to him, which ans Risa indeed reads such crazy books.
"Not only that, I happened to sneak a peek in her student locker; it was filled with similar book… All were about torture, poisoning, and horrible things…"
"She's definitely a psychopath! Furthermore, her engagent to Mark is a confird fact! No one in the class dares talk badly about her…"
"You should stay away from that crazy woman, Allen. I have heard rumors that she is from a very shady household…"
At that mont, Airin also nodded her head and said,
"Yeah, I have heard from my sister that the Shadow Fallen family is filled with weird people, and they are all doing shady stuff… It's better if we stay away from her…"
Allen ignored Airin and Mia's warning; what made him the most frustrated was the na 'Mark'.
Mark considers Allen just another random hurdle on his way to the top of the world, but Allen sees him as a rival whom he must overco.
No one in their entire class is better than Allen, aside from Mark, in terms of looks and other things.
Not only is Mark rich, as he cos from the royal family, he is also handso and the strongest person in their class. Not even Aiza can hold a candle in front of him.
Knowing that Mark has a girlfriend irritates Allen, as it presents a challenge to him.
'Is he trying to compete with in terms of harem-making skills!? No! Only I will be the one to rule this world while others work for !'
Allen forgot about Risa as he concluded that she was too crazy for his liking, and he decided to find so other girl to 'rizz' for the ti being to increase his harem.
A smirk appeared on his face as he thought to himself.
'Hmph, no matter how strong you beco, Mark, without strong allies, you will always end up getting defeated by … I will overwhelm you with the power of friendship and love!'
…
University's main garden.
Sitting on an empty bench under the shade of a giant tree, Aiza felt empty inside.

Just a few days ago, when she was enjoying her ti with her friends Allen, Airin, and Mia, she got a phone call.
That phone call was from her personal maid back at ho.
She said that she was resigning.
Aiza was so taken aback by her words that she didn't know what to say for a few monts.
Later, she learned everything from her maid.
The main mansion of the Blaze family was destroyed, and everyone was killed three months ago.
Then all the vassal families tried to loot the money, but they ended up going bankrupt because soone had already taken all of it and put a huge debt on them.
Originally, they had been suppressing the news of the family being destroyed from reaching her ears so that she wouldn't get to find out and seize the money, but now they have beco victims of their own greed.
The once-glorious Blaze family has now beco nothing more than history.
All of the maids and butlers that raised Aiza have resigned, and everything has disappeared.
Aiza is not a fool; she can easily guess who would have done all that.
'I tried to warn them, but they didn't listen… I told my father that you need to stop getting on his nerves; see, this is the result… sigh…'
Since the day when Jareth told her in that dungeon that he would kill Kaiden, she knew that things would turn bad, and she wanted to ask her family mbers to apologize to Jareth.
But in the end, what she feared indeed happened.
Jareth destroyed the whole Blaze family and even went on to destroy the vassal families too.
And even after all this, Aiza can only sit and watch.
She has known about all the sins that her father committed against Jareth and his mother, so she can't even bla him for what he did.
Now all she can do is stay silent and mourn for her dead family mbers.
Jareth has beco a Grade 1 mage; trying to go against him now is just a pipe dream; even with her talent, she would need a whole decade or more to reach that level.
And she has no motivation for revenge either, as she knows about her father's sins.
She once used to laugh at Jareth, who was living a lonely life outside the family, when her father told her made-up stories about him.
And now, she has beco the one who has to live a lonely life with no family whatsoever.
'Life is really strange… Things can go from heaven to hell in just a matter of day…'
Aiza glanced at the ATM card in her hand, then put it back in her space ring.
This is the only asset she has left now.
Her own bank account has a lot of money that she got over the years from gifts and other events in the family.
Now only this money is left for her.
Fortunately, she can still live in the dormitory for the next two and a half years.
And by that ti, she would have beco a strong mage, and she could just buy a new house by conquering dungeons or sothing.
Aside from her talent, she has no other pillars of support left for her. All she can do is work hard and try not to beco like her father and mother, so that she never hurts others.
This one event was able to change her whole thought process and show her the reality of this cruel world.
'No one cares about your life or death… You need to make a path for yourself with your own efforts…'
With a newfound determination, Aiza went back to training.
