Next day,
Ethan was humming in good mood. Last day brought so much benefit to him. Alice had asked him to obstruct other classes test with mana bombs she bought. Ethan had obstructed them but with his own bombs. He hadn't used a single bomb from her and used his own modified G-Rank ones. He will later sell them all back to academy shop.
Academy shop refund 100% on their product as long it is returned in one month. He will sell all the F-Rank bombs back and he will earn 9 SP over every bomb and Alice will also pay him some as a compensation for contribution during test. He will at the least earn around 2000 SP!
Just thinking about it puts smile on his face. Adam also make his entry to classroom in good mood. He looked at Ethan who also seems to be good mood and asked him the reason for his happiness. Of course, he didn't care about his, Adam just wanted him to ask his one.
"…Did something happen?"
"…Nah, just some change I earned. You seem strangely happy too. Tell me what happen…"
"Nothing, just some mundane stuff… You won't find it interesting anyway."
"You are making it more interesting. Tell me, tell me."
Lucas looked at both of them with disgusted expression. He felt sick, looking at their happiness. He doesn't know what happened with Ethan though but it can't be worse than Adam can he? He is a loser, after all…
"…She hugged me tightly and her chest was pressing over my shoulder…It felt so good, I can feel her soft squeezing me…"
"So…? What is it?"
"What…?"
"What is her…size?"
Ethan looked around and asked in low voice. He was slightly curious, just slightly…
"…"
"…Didn't you tell me you can find the chest size of any girl with a hug?"
"Did I…?"
"…Ask Lucas…"
"…You did. You were talking about that girl from the different class and were telling us that you were even able to tell that she had a mole on her chest by just hug… I told you Ethan, he was bluffing, it is impossible. You are too gullible, Ethan. You easily fall for boasts."
"…Don't say that, people are always born different. Who knows? It might be his talent or something…"
Adam felt like he had been thrown onto tensed rope. He remembered telling them about how a female student had hugged him before and he was able to tell her size but he was only bragging! No one hugged him for shit!!
He didn't think it will be put him in the test someday. He stands up and turns behind to look at them. He need to bluster his way out!
"…I was too busy with enjoying… wait, why the hell would I tell you?! Everything Lily have belongs to mine and mine alone don't you dare to-"
"Adam…"
Ethan interrupted him with a nervous look. Lucas was sweating bucket as he was looking around trying to find something to hide with. Adam looked at them with a confused look.
"…What happened, why are you acting you had seen the end of the world?"
"…I can explain that…"
Adam heard a voice and turned his head back to front, only to spot Miss Chloe standing beside the first desk. Class seems to be weirdly silent. It was similar to when Ethan had talked about Miss Chloe's ass.
He turned back to look at Ethan and Lucas who seems to sending weird signals with their hand. His eyes caught sight of Lily sitting few rows away with an embarrassed expression.
He just remembered her full name. Lily Nix… Nix…Isn't it same last name as Miss Chloe? It was always there yet it never hit him. He just felt like an intuition now, like it was a situation that made him understand it. He turned to Duo who seems to be still strangely signaling him with their hands but strangely he was able to understand their message with a great certainty.
'…Run…you scum…run… run…like…your life… depend on…'
He lost all confidence to turn back to face the Miss Chloe. He lowered his neck and tried to find some way. Should he jump out of the window? It won't actually save his life. His eyes shine with hope as he finally found a way to get out of this situation with his life.
"…Miss Chloe, I am not…"
…
Miss Chloe was sitting inside her office reading some document on the digital screen. There were three water balls spinning on the corner of her office. She looked at the time and turned to face three water balls. She snapped her finger and all three water balls burst out like water balloon.
"…Cough, Cough, Cough…"
Three coughing figure fallen out of the water balls. They seem to be desperate for air as they hurriedly took deep breath. Last one seems to be exception as he just rubbed his nose as the reaction. Miss Chloe looked at them with cold gaze that was sending chills to their already cold body.
"…Miss Chloe, I…"
"Shut up…"
Ethan tried to explain himself but she shut him up mercilessly. He sealed his lips and looked at her with an unfair gaze. He was not even at the fault here, why him? It's entirely different thing that if it's about her but he never looked at her sister like that. It was this trash beside him. Ethan had urge to tell her about how Adam fall for her sister and threw Adam under the bus.
"…I don't care what you do between your free time but If I ever saw you three talking dirty about girls again…"
"…Miss Chloe, we understand, It will never happen again. I will make sure these two will stay under control. Forget about talking, I will make sure they will never even a girl again…"
Adam hurriedly pleaded will throwing other two under the bus. He needed to fix things here. These two have nothing in here but Miss Chloe is going to be her sister-in-law. He can't stain his image in her eyes!
"…Just get out."
Miss Chloe just rubbed her forehead from the side and signaled them to leave. She had already marked trio as the troublemaker and she is not the one to give lectures as she knows it just pass through their one ear in and other ears out.
Trio stands up and left while whispering curse to each other. Adam never mentioned he will do the same! Why should they be the one suffer?! Ethan might not be so innocent but Lucas was total collateral damage here! He was not even talking with them!!
Trio cursed at each other while making their way to the class and a third year female student passed by them while ignoring them completely. Her chest heaved up and down slightly as she walks. Adam and Ethan didn't pay any attention to her but Lucas was different. His eyes caught something that he felt important to inform them about.
"…Hey you two…!"
"What…?"
"…Do you notice that girl who just passed by… she was not wearing anything inside!"
"Scum…"
"Trash…"
Both of them looked at him with a disdain. Lucas was taken aback by their reaction. If it was before, they would already be running to her and caught up with her.
"Miss Chloe just told us to behave…"
"…Yet you can't even wait till we reach the class…"
"Guys like you make girls see all the guys in the same light."
Adam finished it and did a pseudo-spit on the ground. Dirtying floor will be charged with penalty of 100 SP. Lucas lowered his head as he felt slightly guilty and lowered his presence.
!
Adam suddenly turned around and ran back with the full speed. Lucas looked at him in confusion but his eyes widen in realization. This guy! Same light! You are the source of light, you son of a bitch! He also ran back, following from behind.
Ethan looked at them running and frowned. He was actually serious unlike Adam. He didn't think he was just being a hypocrite to gain an advantage. He shakes his head and made his way to the class. He wondered how Lucas was able to tell that she is not wearing anything.
His foot stops as he looked back. He turned back and moved in the same direction as other two. He is just curious as how he was able to tell the difference. It must be a knowledge every guy should possess. He will look weird if he can't tell the difference, yes, he need to find out. His footstep become quicken before turning into a jog which soon turn into a run.
…
Second Day of test,
Class A was able to deal with the assigned dungeon rather easily. Reason might be because of Adam's rank up which was not unnoticed by other students but there was also no attacks from the other class. It seems they understand its futility and choose to stay silent and focused on their own test but Class A was not same.
Ethan went around and attacked all the classes with madness. He fills like he can do pretty much anything he wants! He is having fun throwing mana bombs around and earning points with it. He feels that the more satisfying result he will produce the more Alice will pay him as a reward. So, he went out all…
"…Hey Ethan…you said something about Leon…"
"Yeah…. Did he make his move on you?"
"No, I think you get him wrong, he is my type of guy…"
Adam didn't talk with him directly but after observing him for few times. He was able to get that he is just a battle maniac who looks for strong people. He probably looked at Adam with rivalry. Adam didn't hate that. He actually like fighting more than anything else yet there are not many students who can be a challenge to him inside the academy...
Adam didn't noticed but Ethan was looking down with widen eyes. He was scared to look up and face Adam. He doesn't even know what he should do here. Adam clearly likes Lily so why Leon? No, Ethan remembered about those people who sail their boat in both directions. Is Adam same as them? Why didn't he notice? He remembered how there was a time when he wrapped his around him. Did he get molested without even knowing?!
Adam noticed his silence and looked at him with a frown. He was talking yet this guy was ignoring him. He put his hand on his shoulder to shake him, or at the least he tried to.
Slap.
Ethan slapped his hand away and hurriedly stands up to create some distance. His foot hooked on the desk's leg and he will use his hand to support him and move away. He looked at Adam with a guard and raised his hand in defensive manner.
"…Stay away…"
"…What is going on?"
"Stay away…"
"…Okay…"
Ethan repeated his word in a systemic manner. Adam didn't understand what is going on with him. Did he hit his knees and lose his mind somehow? Adam sat on his desk as he felt talking with Ethan is impossible for now.
…
Third Day of Test,
Ethan was standing, using the wall with a support as he was attacked by the students from other classes. He didn't expect them to be prepared for him. He was sure they weren't expecting him at all. Then why?
At the same time,
Class A came out of the dungeon with depressive atmosphere. A students walking with a limp was standing out among them. Her leg was badly mutilated and cover with white bandages. It was only emergency treatment and not enough to heal her leg.
An attacker from the different class attacks her with a mana bomb and injured during her battle with elite monster. Her focus was on the monster so she was unable to defend herself.
Their speed of clearing took a hit due to that as their one of the main vanguard was compromised. Alice didn't believe that their class had cleared the dungeon faster than anyone else but it was all but starting…
