“Eh?”
“Wait?”
“This situation…”
Mu’en felt his heart race a little faster.
Generally speaking, in such a quiet environment where only two people are alone, if one party casually asks, “Do you have someone you like?” it clearly indicates a precursor.
That’s right, it’s that legendary confession!
First, using this seemingly casual small talk to probe whether the other person is taken, and upon confirming, launching a vigorous attack to win the other person’s heart!
The hundreds of romance comics he read in his past life all followed this pattern!
“Eh? But, could the senior actually…?”
Isn’t this a bit too sudden?
However, since the senior asked so sincerely, he could only give his honest response.
“I don’t.”
Mu’en straightened his back, crossed his arms under his chin, and replied with a serious expression:
“Absolutely not.”
“Really? That’s quite a shame,” Anna sighed while touching her cheek.
“Eh?”
Mu’en was taken aback.
What does “shame” mean?
Is it really a shame for her that no one likes him?
Could it be that for senior Anna, this simple and straightforward advance is no longer satisfying for her?
Is the senior also from the Minotaur Sect?
“Then… does someone like the junior?”
Mu’en still felt his brain buzzing and unable to catch up, and Anna continued to ask leisurely.
But this question only made it harder for Mu’en to understand.
“Umm… I guess it could be considered that way.”
Mu’en replied.
After all, with An around, he couldn’t possibly lie to that extent.
“Is that so?”
Mu’en saw Anna’s eyes light up.
“Then can you bring her out?”
“Huh?”
Bring her out?
Why?
In that instant, a hellish image appeared in Mu’en’s mind.
Senior Anna holding his hand, proudly telling An:
“The taste of the person you like is really nice~”
Ahhhhh!
No!
An would go berserk!
She would drag him and the senior along and chop them up finely!
“Then… that.”
Looking at the eager expression on the senior’s face, Mu’en couldn’t help but ask:
“What’s the reason, senior?”
Although with the senior’s personality, she might just want to do something mischievous, Mu’en’s intuition told him she might have other reasons.
“The reason?”
Anna turned her gaze slightly, her fingers curling the end of her braided hair.
She seemed to be pondering something, but just as she was about to speak, her gaze suddenly flicked outside to the birds perched on the treetops.
Anna raised her eyebrows slightly:
“Never mind.”
“Eh?”
“Looks like I was too anxious.”
“What?”
Mu’en was confused.
Since earlier, he felt he couldn’t keep up with the senior’s thoughts at all.
“Let’s end today here.”
Anna stood up, “Class will be over in a little while, and I need to prepare some things, or I won’t manage later.”
“Oh, oh.”
Mu’en nodded blankly:
“Does the senior need my help?”
“Help?”
Anna shot a flirtatious glance at Mu’en:
“Junior, you’re skipping class to come find me to study, do you really have time to help me?”
“Uh…”
Mu’en awkwardly scratched his head:
“Actually, it’s not that I don’t have time, but because of a certain reason, I must pass the basic magic exam next month, so all my time and energy have to go into that.”
“Pass?” Anna raised an eyebrow.
“First-year exam?”
“Second-year.” Mu’en forced a smile, “Is it difficult, senior?”
“Yes, very difficult.”
Anna thought for a moment and said seriously:
“But it doesn’t seem impossible.”
…
After Mu’en left, Anna looked at the birds perched on the tree branches outside and softly uttered:
“Go.”
The startled birds quickly took flight.
She sighed lightly: “That green-haired one from the news club really likes to peek.”
In the empty library, Anna rolled up her sleeves.
On her fair skin, traces of scales could be vaguely seen.
“After the moon was driven away, things seem to have settled down a bit.”
Gazing at her wrist, Anna murmured gently, reassuring herself:
“Don’t rush, Anna, take your time, there’s still time.”
“Even if it really comes to that…”
Anna’s gaze darted to the library’s entrance, as if chasing the shadow of someone.
…
“I feel like I’m a bit closer to the goal of sixty points.”
After leaving the library, Mu’en couldn’t help but stretch, feeling in a good mood.
It was another fulfilling morning.
“Now, next…”
Mu’en thought for a moment and decided to take this opportunity to get lunch sorted out.
It would take a lot of time once the cafeteria got crowded.
“Mm?”
But after walking just a couple of steps, Mu’en’s furrowed brows knitted together again.
An indistinct gaze seemed like a sharp blade, gently scraping his back, bringing a faint chill.
Like a parasite, it was hard to shake off.
“It seems ignoring it isn’t an option.”
Mu’en’s expression turned cold.
He didn’t want a pervert following him around.
Relying on the keen perception honed through countless deaths in the dark book, Mu’en moved slowly, pinpointing the location step by step.
Outside the library was a dense forest.
It was ample as a hiding place.
With just a little knowledge of concealment, it was easy to hide in such places.
However, at this moment, there was no wind.
Thus, even the slightest noise would create a clear rustling sound among the trees.
If you can’t move, no matter how well you hide, there will come a moment when you get discovered.
Moreover, the other’s stealth technique didn’t seem very impressive.
Mu’en scanned the area with hawk-like eyes and quickly confirmed a patch of bushes in the shadows.
Through the gaps in the bushes, he could vaguely see a small section of clothing swaying.
“If you like being a creep, you should at least sharpen your stalking skills first.”
Mu’en chuckled coldly, expression serious as he moved closer to the bushes and suddenly reached in.
“Come out, you pervert!”
“Wow! Don’t catch me, I didn’t mean to!”
“Eh?”
To Mu’en’s surprise, the one pulled out from the bushes wasn’t a scarred muscle man, but rather…
A young girl?
Mu’en looked at her in confusion.
The young girl was wearing the academy’s uniform, and from the style, she seemed to be a second-year like him. Her thick, silky black hair was tied into two chunky braids, and she wore a large black-framed glasses, revealing a hint of freckles on her face.
Overall, she seemed like the kind of inconspicuous girl you wouldn’t notice in a crowd.
But Mu’en looked at her and felt she was quite familiar.
It seemed like… he had seen her somewhere before?
