Chapter 50: Aftermath [2]
Inside a small classroom that was about the size of a bedroom, two individuals sat facing each other.
Of the two individuals, one was a female while the other was a male.
The male had his head held down and was fearfully looking at the female who was looking at him with her legs and arms crossed. Her face was incomparably dark.
It looked as if they were in a murder trial with the male student being the one under trial.
Breaking the silence was the female whose voice sounded extrely dark.
"Ren. Dover."
"…I-It's been a while lissa"
Yes, the boy who was currently being persecuted was in fact .
Sitting down in front of lissa, I tried my best to avoid her eyes. Right now her face was smiling but her eyes weren't. I had a feeling that she wanted nothing more but to eat alive.
Why was she in a bad mood?
Looking at my number and lissa's number, a few tears stread down my cheeks.
[Group 9]
…my plan backfired badly.
"…w-would you believe if I told you it was an accident?"
"Accident? Prey do tell what might you be referring to. I do recall seeing an insect winking at during our class…or did I see wrong?"
"…err"
Please soone save !
Nervously looking around the room, my eyes paused on a black concoction in the middle of the table. Out of desperation, I tried to change the topic.
"This is?"
Expecting my question, lissa dazzlingly smiled and said
"New potion I've been experinting with. Just for you, free of charge."
Squinting my eyes, I moved my chair back and warily asked
"What does it do?"
Covering her mouth with her hand, lissa lightly laughed and said
"Nothing much apart from making you throw up dozens of tis over and making you feel like you had just been through hell. What makes this potion even more special is that if you are lucky enough there's a chance you can throw up your own intestine killing you instantly"
"…can I pass?"
It honestly scared how she managed to say all of this with a straight face.
-Bam!
Just as I was despairing at my situation, opening the door, three young prideful individuals entered the room.
Looking around the room, they soon noticed lissa who was sitting in front of . Instantly their arrogance deflated a notch.
"Hello there, lissa Hall"
Walking in front of lissa, what seed to be the leader of the trio elegantly bowed in front of her.
His facial features which were devoid of any imperfections accompanied by his sharp eyes and brows made him look suave and elegant. He had short black hair and green eyes that resembled finely polished jades. Though he was not extrely handso, his looks were enough to make any girl swoon.
"It is an honor to et lissa Hall, one of the most beautiful won in our academy and pioneer in the scientific field"
Pausing, and fixing his uniform he said
"My na is Donald Berson"
…who?
Another extra who thought they were the sh*t.
Honestly, if the guy could read lissa's mind at the mont he would've probably have made a run for it.
Smiling, lissa glanced at the young individual before her and said
"You must be Rank 167 Donald Berson whose father is an A rank Hero of the Starlight guild"
As soon as lissa finished speaking, Donald straightened his back with pride. Looking at he smirked
hm?…what did I do?
Do I even know you?
Is he that proud that lissa knew who he was?
Ignoring Doland's subtle action against , lissa smiled and politely said
"How can I help you?"
To it just looked like she was saying 'Be quick and fuck off, I don't have ti to deal with you scrubs' but maybe I was just too biased.
"Ah, let introduce the rest of the people before I continue"
Stepping to the side, Donald presented one of the other group mbers.
"This is Rank 298, Evan Smoke"
Standing behind Donald, a rather chubby individual with ginger hair and freckles all over his face appeared. With his hands behind his back, Evan haughtily looked around the room.
…his deanor reminded of one of those villainous nobles you would find in novels.
Smiling amiably, Evan lightly bowed in front of lissa.
"Nice to et you, lissa Hall, I have heard of your outstanding achievents since I was very young. I had been eagerly awaiting the day where we would et and upon seeing you I can say with confidence that there is no other woman out there that can confidently claim to be more beautiful than you"
…talk about excessive flattery.
Unlike Donald, I actually knew who he was.
He was no one important per se, he was another extra. But this ti, I actually knew him cus I actually rembered writing about him. He appeared on the trip and arrogantly confronted Kevin only to be instantly shut down.
True extra.
After Evan finished his introductions, Donald turned to the remaining student.
"…and this is Rank 475, Cassandra lee"
Standing next to Evan, a rather skinny young female with a buzzcut presented herself. With her hands in her blazer pockets and whilst chewing gum she looked at lissa with interest. She had two piercings on her right lip and nose and her lips which were black, accompanied by her eyes which were filled with eye shadow reminded of soone who was in their emo phase. She had black tal bracelets on her arm and her uniform was unkempt.
Smiling lightly she looked at lissa and said
"Pleasure to et you"
Greeting everyone, lissa turned her attention back to Donald.
"Nice to et you, so what do you want?"
"Nothing much, we are in the sa group so I wanted to introduce myself and my companions to you who is going to be part of our team"
"Since we still have about a week before going on the trip I thought it would be a great idea to form a good bond while we are at it, hahaha"
Laughing lightly, Donald, Evan, and Cassandra eagerly looked at lissa.
…sigh.
How more obvious can you be?
If you wanted to hang out with lissa you could have just said so from the beginning. Why go through all of this nonsense.
Noticing my reaction, Donald stopped laughing and gloomily said
"What's so funny?"
Rolling my eyes at his immature display I said
"There's a week left before the trip and you're planning on making friends rather than just allocating our tasks"
Annoyed by my rebuttal, Donald finally acknowledged my presence as he asked
"Who are you?"
"Rank 1750 Ren Dover"
Instantly the whole room was filled with laughter and ridicule.
"Hahaha, Rank 1750 and you dare talk to like that?"
"hohoho, to think that soone who is ranked so low exists"
"I bet in terms of spouting crap his rank is around the top three in the whole year, no, the academy"
Rolling my eyes at them I said
"To think there was not only one delusional person here, but three? How disappointing"
"…"
Instantly the room beca quiet. Donald and the other two's faces instantly crumbled. After a brief pause, and processing what I had just said, Donald shouted
"What!?"
Summoning his spear from his dinsional space, Donald grabbed it and pointed its sharp tip at . A blue glow appeared around his body.
"Shut that flimsy mouth of yours before I cut your tongue off with my superior skills and talent that a nobody like you can ever hope to have"
Seeing him taking out his spear, summoning my sword from my bracelet, I grabbed it and a white glow started appearing around my body as I spat back
"No, you shut your mouth! How more obvious can you be that you're a third-rate villain with your third-rate quotes!"
Hatefully glaring at and gritting his teeth, Donald pretended to hit with his spear but I didn't even flinch.
"Grrr"
Seeing that his faint was seen through, Donald clenched his teeth even harder.
Seeing his reaction, I triumphantly smirked at him and raised my middle finger
"Wanna bet that I don't even need to lift my finger before I can decapitate that useless head of yours!"
"Youuuu bastard!"
Finally snapping after hearing my comnt, Donald prepared to stab for real. But before he could do that, he heard an annoyed sigh coming from behind him.
Sigh
"Is it fun to waste ti like this?"
Sitting on the table, lissa covered her face with her hands.
"lissa?"
Stopping, Donald and the rest looked at lissa who seed to be in an extrely bad mood.
"Why are you all acting like children?"
"B-but he started it?"
Snapping at him, lissa looked at Donald in utter disgust
"What? Are you so kind of child? He started this he started that? Do you know how many fucks I give about that?"
Raising her hand, she did an 'o' sign with her fingers and said
"Absolutely zero"
Being berated by lissa, the rest lowered their heads in sha. If it was anyone else they would've probably have fought back, but since it was lissa they could only suck it up.
Every ti soone tried to talk they would imdiately be glared at by lissa shutting them up instantly
Clicking her tongue, lissa continued
"Stop flapping those useless mouths of yours and do the work. We were asked to talk about our work. I had co with the expectations that the people in my group would be regular humans but it seems like I was paired up with a bunch of useless chickens and buffoons that can only dance around wildly yapping their mouths non-stop"
"Frankly, shut up! Your re existence is annoying "
"b-b…"
Raising her hand to stop them from talking, lissa glared at them and said
"Don't wanna hear it. If you want to do a favor just stop breathing. You'll be plenty useful then"
he he
Seeing the trio's deflated looks I couldn't help but laugh lightly. Karma got them good.
"And you why are you smiling?"
"…hm?"
"Yes you…you are the most useless of the lot and yet you dare enjoy this like it's so sort of show?"
"Bu-t…"
"Shut up, and follow their example and stop breathing!"
Shutting up, I dared not to utter a single word.
I was pretty sure she realized I was making fun of them from the beginning and thus why she was glaring at the hardest.
Turning my head right, the first thing that caught my sight was the trio smirking in my direction. Seemingly enjoying my predicant.
Squinting my eyes at them I made a ntal note to myself
'…it seems like three more nas will be added to my long list of people who I should beat up. Just you wait. I will definitely turn those smiles upside down.'
"sigh, alright let's get this over with"
Seeing that everyone had started to beco more obedient, lissa sat back on her seat, crossed her legs, and looked through the tasks which we were supposed to do.
It had to be noted that she was the only one sitting as the rest of us were still standing with our back straight not daring to utter a single word.
"You and you will be responsible for the first task"
Pointing at Cassandra and Evan, lissa apathetically spoke as she allocated their task not caring for their opinion.
"You and you will be responsible for the second task, whist I will do the third task alone"
Looking to my left, my eyes t Donald's. Our eyes both scread 'Hell no!' but we just pretended to smile at each other in a friendly manner.
The groups were Cassandra and Evan for task 1, and Donald for task 2, and lissa for task 3.
I wanted to rebuke so badly, but I didn't dare to.
I'm sure Donald shared the sa sentint as , but we were both too scared of lissa to dare speak out our thoughts.
"Alright, I've wasted enough ti babysitting the lot of you. I am heading back now, I have better things to do"
Throwing the group ticket away, lissa stood up and left the room. Right after her, everyone else left the room, included.
Staring at the now darkening sky, I let out an exhausted sigh.
This was going to be a long trip…
