"SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST DAY OF COMBAT CLASS, WE WON'T BE DOING ANYTHING TOO DIFFICULT," the instructor announced, his booming voice echoing across the stadium. "A SIMPLE SPAR SHOULD SUFFICE. NOW, FIND YOURSELF A SPARRING PARTNER. WHETHER IT'S A DUEL WITH POINTS ON THE LINE OR JUST FOR PRACTICE, I DON'T CARE. BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PARTNER IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES, YOU'LL RUN FIFTY LAPS AROUND THIS STADIUM. AND TRUST , YOU WILL COMPLETE THOSE LAPS."
That was all he needed to say. Chaos erupted.
Students scrambled like their lives depended on it, darting around to secure a partner. I scanned the frenzy and spotted Selena. Finally. But her glare stopped in my tracks.
What did I even do this ti?
"Selena!" I called out, approaching her. She didn't look away, her gaze sharper than ever.
"What's wrong? I already apologized for not showing up earlier. Why are you still mad?" I placed a hand on her shoulder, but she grabbed it, her grip firm, and locked eyes with .
"Are you seriously telling you don't know what you did?" she asked, her voice low but loaded with frustration. Her expression scread, 'I know you cheated on .'
Confusion blood inside , igniting a burning curiosity. "Just tell already," I said, exasperated.
"…You…" Her voice broke, and she threw my hand off, tears glistening in her eyes. "Don't talk to ." She turned away, walking off briskly.
I stood there, utterly lost.
Soone just fucking tell what she wants?
'Are you seriously that dense?' Nelia's voice rang in my mind.
'Do you know what her problem is?' I asked.
'It's painfully obvious. You're just too blind to see,'
'Stop whining and co clear, I don't have ti for your nonsense,'
'The earring, you idiot. Purple diamonds on accessories symbolize a lover's bond in this world. If you're wearing one, it ans soone else has the other.'
'What?! How was I supposed to know that?'
My mind raced. Back when Lucas wore this earring, it was golden. But now… Could Selena really be mad about this?
I turned to see where she had gone. She was still watching from afar, her glare searing into my soul before she disappeared into the crowd.
"Hey, you're Ryan, right?"
I turned to find a young man with dark brown hair and green eyes standing before , a polite smile on his face.
"Yeah?" I replied.
"How about a spar?"
Before I could answer, another voice interrupted. "No, spar with instead. I'll even give you so points if you win."
"What?" I blurted, caught off guard.
"No, fight ! Don't I look like an easy opponent?" soone else chid in.
What the hell was happening?
'Your level,' Nelia teased.
"You all move away from him. I would like to have a spar," I turned, and yep, it was so bastard. But the thing was that I knew this bastard.
He wasn't really a main character.
He was actually a minor villain, leaning more toward a side character.
"Molly," I grinned, and his face contorted in rage.
I know this fucker, of course.
Not only from the novel but from my childhood.
Molten Feinal.
One of the nobles who attended the pre-academy. In fact, it was he and his goons who were supposed to be beating up before I got saved by Eliosa and Ariana.
But that didn't happen. However, we did have our clashes, just that… I was the one doing the bullying.
"Good, it seems you still rember ," he said, flexing his now-toned muscles.
Back then, he was a fat ass, the reason I nicknad him Molly.
But it seems he took my words to heart.
"Let's fight." Seeing him, every other person vying to fight with took a hike.
After all, this bastard was infamous for being a bully, who was also affiliated with bullies from second and third years.
"N-" I was about to, of course, say no when a silky soft voice reached my ears.
"That won't work, though. I already asked the instructor specifically for a duel with him," I heard the voice and frowned.
Damn it.
"Ariana," I muttered, spotting a platinum-haired girl with blue-tipped ends and piercing blue eyes staring intently at .
'That's a lie… probably,' I thought.
"No. Molly and I have so unfinished business. I don't have ti for kids."
"Is that true, Molten?" she asked gently, though I sensed an undercurrent of nace in her tone.
"N-No," stamred the idiot.
"Bro, don't tell you're chickening out because of a girl—and a bitch no less! Aren't you a man anymore?" I taunted.
He looked like he'd seen a ghost.
What did she do to him?
"Molten~ I heard the Feinal family have so troubles. Don't you think it would be bad if things got… worse," she smiled, and even I, who wasn't even the target of the threat, felt a chill run down my spine.
When did she beco this… evil?
'It seems a good number of people despise you.'
'So?'
'It seems you won't live a long life.' She smiled, not saying anything further, but that smile on her face—for so reason, it mirrored the one Ariana carried now.
Haah.
"Molly… You can't—" I tried to admonish but realized he had already fled.
Fucking prick.
That douchebag was a typical villain, strong to the weak and weak to the strong.
But I still couldn't help wondering, what exactly did she do to traumatize him so badly?
"I knew you were a bitch, but I never took you for a hypocrite," I said.
"Oh, that? I realized over ti that one can never hope to get revenge on you unless they beco shaless," she laughed.
"Well good for you, but the thing is...," I grinned, "my girlfriend and I already made plans. So I'm sorry, but I don't entertain side chicks."
I tried to escape, but she grabbed my wrist—too tightly.
"We. Will. Fight." Her voice was cold, and the murderous glint in her eyes made my blood run cold.
It seems she wants to kill today.
