RING!
'About time, Mmmm, I'm already starving!' Astrid said as the infamous bell rang, its was time for lunch.
As soon as Astrid stepped out of the class, a beauty with golden eyes, brown hair, ample body and, a mesmerizing, exposing black skin suit, greeted him. It was Ichika, the landlord's daughter.
"Hello Astrid-kun!"
'Holy shit, is it me or did she get a whole lot hotter!' Astrid was in a big dilemma.
The atmosphere was pretty ambiguous for the two of them. A handsome, well, not so handsome boy alongside a super, well, extremely beautiful girl. The two of them were like pairs made in heaven, or hell.
Astrid and Ichika were still nervous about the situation. Their heartbeats were a lot faster than normal and their breath become a little bit uneven.
'Wow! He really has changed, in only a couple of weeks, wait why do I care about this skinny pig!' Ichika said in a classical tsundere way.
"Umm, wanna go out for lunch?" Ichika said making her face practically a tomato.
"S-sure!" Astrid said, feeling bliss. Such a beautiful girl was asking him out, who wouldn't feel bliss.
Gossip was going everywhere, everyone knew something Astrid didn't, and Astrid was freaking out.
'I didn't want this much attention! What will Dawn and Flair think!'
[I would just try and build your relationship with her, your ability is charm afterall, so be charming!]
'Ok, I mean, what else can I do' Astrid thought as the two entered the cafeteria.
"This is delicious!"
"Save me a spot in line!"
"Ok, so here's how I was born, my dad and mom were a lovely couple, happy and all, and when they were married, my mom showed that she was a beast woman, fox at that, I'm sure you can connect the dots on how I was born... here's a hint, he leaped"
While still being conscious of each other, Astrid and Ichika quickly finish their business at the canteen. They brought their lunch from the nearest stall and went back to their class.
The two walked across the campus road to the classroom.
" Hehehehe, isn't this the untouched flower who rejects all the man confessing before. What are you doing here with a pretty boy like him."
Astrid looked in the direction of the voice, and he found a boy with a bit above average look sneering at them.
The boy went in the direction of Astrid and Ichika and stopped right in front of Astrid.
" Know your place scum."
The boy in front of Astrid was the problematic boss, not on the caliber of the five bosses, but still pretty high, Ray. He was a son of a local gangster family, and he acted like he owned the whole school.
" What are you doing Ray!! Stop talking to my friend like that!" Ichika said in protest.
Such a prideful girl like Ichika, her ego wouldn't let that go. Ichika stands between Ray and Astrid, hiding Astrid from Ray's wicked glare.
" Hoooo was the gangster family so strong that they could do whatever they wanted in bright daylight."
From inside the hall, a bright and cheerful voice suddenly came.
The focus of the three instantly shifted to the voice, and they noticed it was the newly transferred student.
It was Henry. Another young master of a big gang. Astrid was able to get in the good side of Ichika just a few moments ago, but now the Henry came in trying to steal the limelight.
[ DING!!!, congratulations to the host for unlocking the secret scenario ]
[ Title: The Villain, Villain, Heroine and the Ugly Ass Bitch.]
[Description: Make Ichika's impression of Henry shit and Ray's even shitter]
[ Rewards: +500 SP, +15 attributes point, unlock spirits for both of your electives.]
The systems notification was like an oasis in a dessert to Astrid. He quickly asked the system to use the appraisal on Ichika in front of him.
[ Name: Ichika Amber ]
[Ability: Amberation - Can create amber and bend amber by her own will]
[ Affection (host): 30 - He has changed, and I like it!]
[ Affection (Henry): 20 - He is worth befriending]
[ Affection (Ray): -10 - Scum...]
[ Special skill: --]
[SP: --]
[Gear: --]
When he tried to select her SP or gear, he got a notification that the skills level wasn't high enough.
'Well it will be soon... use the item!'
[ System doesn't know what you think boss. But judging from your expression, it must not be something good. ]
'Use it dumbass!'
[Using item, select targets?]
'Henry and Ray'
[Item has been used]
While the conflict between Ray and Henry was heating up, the giggling ray on the side made Ichika uneasy.
"Pssst, Astrid. It was not the right timing to be a bystander! Look, they were about to fight! We must stop them."
" Easy Ichika, it's not what you think. There was a saying "Ssaum-eun salang-ui pyosi" in my birthplace, or translated as "Fighting is a sign of Love". They might be fighting right now, but maybe they will love each other soon."
The response was unexpected to Ichika. She furrowed her eyebrow and protested at Astrid.
"ASSTRIID, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be like what you said. And If my memory was not wrong, you should be born in Skyrim! So what do you mean by a saying from your birthplace! "
" .... "
" Well, you actually got the wrong focus there Ichika, but look! They were going to start."
Back to Ray and Henry, the atmosphere was agitated. Ray glared, feeling displeasure at Henry, while Henry was still in his hero-saving beauty mood.
The two of them were unable to hold on anymore. They got close to each other and were finally going to fight.
Ichika was really anxious. Her arms were glowing brown ready to trap both of them in place with sticky amber, but Astrid's hand caught her.
" Don't be meddlesome Ichika, observe properly."
[*Nom*Nom*Nom* Start the show already!]
{Hurry up I need to take notes! NOTES!}
Ray and Henry stood in front of each other, but the development of this fight was going in an unexpected direction.
Just as soon as Ray was about to punch Henry's face, the trajectory of Ray's hand bent into Henry's neck, locking it into his body. Then, Ray started to aggressively move his face into Henry's, kissing him deeply.
Smooch
Henry was perplexed at the moment, but then he unexpectedly response to Ray's advance, and the two of them were kissing violently.
This progress petrified everyone looking. They felt their brain has stopped working, and they couldn't understand the track of this event.
What they didn't know was, when they were glaring at each other, Astrid has used the kiss Invitation to write their name on it.
"MMMMMMMM"
Henry was deeply immersed in the kiss with the face in front of him.
He doesn't know what he thinks right now. Maybe time stopped when their lips met, but the flutter only intensified. Henry's heart pounded heart as his knees got weaker. His mind could only wander on the softness of the lips, how addictively the lips invaded all of his senses.
" MMM Ichika..."
Ray was going to go into the second round. However, his face instantly paled when he recognized the face in front of him.
He quickly released his arm from Henry's waist and couldn't help but slap him in his face to wake up Henry from his delusion.
" FUCKING HOW, WHAT IN THE HOLY DRAGONS ASS ARE YOU DOING YOU SHITHEAD! "
Ray's slap instantly brought Henry back out of the kiss note spell. His face reddened from the memory of him kissing deeply against the new transferred boy.
" WHAT!! YOU FUCKING HYPOCRITE! YOUR THE ONE WHO ASSAULTED ME!!"
" ME? ASSAULTING?? YOU JUMPED LIKE A FUCKING GAY UNICORN!!"
" IGNORANT!!! YOU MOLESTED ME LIKE YOU SAW YOUR MUMS TITS!!"
The two of them were arguing and were about to get into another fight. But to the other bystander, the two fights were more like a couple flirting after they finish to make out.
Amongst the bystander, Ichika was the one who was closest to Ray and Henry, so she could hear their conversation clearly.
Even the slip by Henry that called her name during the deep kiss didn't get out of her observation.
To her, it was like a deep crushing blow. She initially had a good impression of Henry, who stood up and opposed Ray for her.
But then, the two of them suddenly kissed and Henry even said her name during their make-out session.
All of her good impressions of him go down the drain.
You could even say that she was now disgusted with Henry. She was about to hit Henry. However, Astrid holds her hand and convinces her that it was not her problem.
This time, her mentality got hits hard. She doesn't know what to think anymore. Still, the thought of Astrid always being there for her somehow makes her impression of Astrid skyrocket.
Cough-Cough
The coughing sound was big enough to gather the attention of all the crowds. They looked in the voice's direction and found a cool-looking beauty with a student council badge on his left chest, standing there looking at Ray and Henry with strange looks.
" Ehem, we could understand that the two of you were deeply in love. Nonetheless, please refrain further to do such things in school. The school was not a club for you to make out."
Her voice was clear enough to reach the ears of the surrounding crowds.
Of course, the flirting couple could also hear her. Their face which was red with anger to each other now immediately full of embarrassment. Even the King of Fire would shy if compared to the couple.
"Sera, it's not like this. It was just a misunderstanding. This wild dog was the one who assaulted me."
"Bah, who do you call a wild dog. It was you the one who started all of this."
Ray tried to explain the situation to the surrounding.
But of course, the crowd who has seen their love session with their own eyes would not believe in his explanation.
Noticing the surrounding. Ray knows that it would not be good for him to stay longer in this place.
He glared at Henry and threatened him to make his school life no worse than hell. Then, he quickly went away, forgetting his initial purpose to warn Astrid and Ichika.
With the gay couple leaving the place. The surrounding crowd slowly disband. The situation right now was just a very hot gossip to them.
The fairytale love story of a newly transferred student with the big boss of the school started, a new ship is sailed, just how many twisted ships will sail though? Astrid and Nero, and now Ray and Henry, how many more?
