45 [Bonus chapter] Chapter 45: The Intruder
Matt darted annoyingly at Ratten. His brows creased so deeply that Ratten almost freak out in fear. He kept his mouth shut and then sat silently in his chair.
“You guys should prepare for tonight. I need you to do sothing for .” Matt said with a wry smile.
On another table was another group of elves seated, they are the remaining twenty bullies of the school. They had been watching the four bullies since they arrived at the canteen.
“Is Matt trying to date Lina’s sister? I thought he was head over heels for Lina, did he give up on her... so easily. What about the bet he placed on winning her over.”
“He knew I’m interested in Lina but didn’t know I wanted both daughters for myself unless soone told him. Soone must have told him about it.” The one that was claid to be the boss over all of them said. He was quite fat and muscular and he looks strong compared to the six dragons and Lover guy’s n as they were nicknad.
“No one would dare go against you Graham.” one of his n replied.
“Then why did he approach Lexa who no one knew about her identity in this school?”
“Do you rember that they almost fought in the canteen yesterday? I think he did a background search on her and decided to take the chance of asking her out. His parents are not fairing well in their business lately, they need the help of Lina’s parents to get back up but since Lina wasn’t showing him face, I guess he decided to hit on the sister.”
“That traitor, I will make sure he doesn’t succeed with his plan,” Graham said as he crushed the cup that was in his hands.
.....
“I don’t think we should be worried about Matt for now.” One of the six groups of elves said.
“What do you an?” Graham asked tilting his head in his direction.
“Don’t you see that Matt is yet to ask the girl out? He’s not halfway doing so. You shouldn’t be angry at the intruder amidst us rather than taking Matt as your enemy.”
“Matt is not my friend and you know that. What exactly are you getting at?”
“The elf that Matt was fighting.. the one we saw challenging him. He’s the one you should get rid of, not Matt. At least not yet.”
Graham was silent for a few seconds as he thought deeply about what the elf just said. He then smiled and presented a handshake to the elf nicknad the sixth dragon.
“That’s why I love to have you guys by my side,” Graham said as he shook hands with the elf.
“Do a background check on that guy and report back to . I need to know who his family is. We need to know who he is before planning an attack.” Graham ordered his n.

Lexa was panting heavily as she sat on one of the chairs of the convenience store. Kevin sat beside her as they had lots of fruits placed in front of her.
“Are you okay?” Kevin asked.
“Yeah... I’ve still.. not caught my breath,” she answered. “But.. how could you be so fast. I’ve never run like this before.”
“Is this your first ti running so fast?” he giggled as he picked an Apple fruit to eat.
“Hey,” Lexa grabbed his hands before he could place the fruit in his mouth. “Can’t you even care for a dying girl beside you? You’re not even romantic.”
Kevin blinked upon hearing the word romantic, it sounds foreign to him.
“W-What do you an? Rumantic?” he stuttered as he tried to repeat what Lexa just said. Lexa couldn’t help but fall into laughter.
‘ Shoot! What a dumb guy. It’s called romantic, not rumantic. I guess Lexa must have known you didn’t go to middle school.’ The system said.
‘ Are you kidding ? I studied every English book the disciples gave to . Not all elves are as literate as I am. I know a lot of English but this rumantic word seems new to .’
“Oh my! Kevin, you’re funny.. that’s why I told you to read human comic books. You’ll get to learn a lot of stuff about humans and their words. Romantic is a word used by humans.. it is a way of showing love and care to the opposite gender beside you. That’s what being romantic is.” She explained.
“Ohh, I didn’t know,” Kevin replied.
“But now you know. Give that.” Lexa said as she took the apple that was in Kevin’s hands and ate it.
‘ So now what? Didn’t I tell you it’s a foreign language?’
‘ Shit, I must have lost my senses. I thought I knew everything about magical creatures. I forgot elves have their different languages.’
‘ How could you know since you’re a robot and A1 system? Your creator didn’t program that information for you.’ Kevin replied to the system.
“Kevin, Why are you not asking ?” Lexa suddenly said.
“Asking you about what?”
Lexa picked a different type of fruit and started chewing on it like a hungry lion. She sighed before replying to Kevin. She was a bit nervous telling him the truth but he saw that Kevin wasn’t talking about yesterday and was a lot chattier than before. So she knew sothing must be wrong.
‘ Is he feigning ignorance to not get angry at ? What if he gets angry at if I tell him? What should I do, I’m scared.’ Lexa shut her eyes tightly but soone tapped her on the shoulders, making her flutter her eyes open in shock.
“What?” she asked as she looked to her side and saw Kevin gleaming with a cheerful smile at her.
‘ What is he doing right now? He’s smiling at ? am I dreaming?’ Lexa pondered as her mouth was left hanging in amazent.
‘ How long do I have to keep this up system? My cheeks are hurting.’ Kevin said as he swallowed in but was still smiling at Lexa.
‘ Patience, you should keep on doing that. She is already falling for your Charm.’
‘ Do you even know what you’re doing? is this a way of asking a lady out.’
‘ No, I’m not teaching you how to ask her out. This is how you show you are romantic. Your smile would make her forget what she was about to say. So smile and let her get butterflies in her stomach. That’s how to be a romantic guy.’
‘ Okay, now I give up.’
Kevin said as he stopped smiling. “What is it that you want to say, Lexa?”
Lexa got back to her senses and then decided to speak but then, a bell suddenly started ringing in the convenience store. The two students looked around as they heard the bell ring.
