-647- A dishonest young lady

The next day, as if nothing had happened, Rozen entered the classroom of the Machinart Physics with Yaya.

After completing the required courses, Rozen immediately left the classroom with Yaya.

Besides Yaya, there was another person following Rozen, walking together on the main street.

Seeing Rozen, the surrounding students immediately kept their distance, displaying a fearful demeanor.

After all, Rozen had become thoroughly notorious within the academy. Even though he still held the rank of 101st, no one dared to underestimate him.

Until now, the memory of Rozen's astonishing battle with Magnus was still vivid in the students' minds, prompting them to regard him with awe.

However, the students' attitude towards Rozen was, at most, one of reverence. While they made way for him, their reaction shouldn't be this extreme—fleeing as if they had encountered a fearsome ghost, displaying a fear of being harmed.

The reason for their exaggerated reaction boiled down to one thing: the fearsome and brutal figure following Rozen like a terrifying specter.

"I say, where are you guys going?" The one who had sent a senior student to the infirmary, pushed a roommate out of the window, and even burnt down the courtyard, "T-Rex," asked while trailing Rozen, showing dissatisfaction.

Upon closer inspection, the steel-colored little dragon was still perched on their hat as usual, and the girl's ankle was completely healed and she could walk normally.

However...

"What do you plan to do now?" Rozen stopped, turned around, and looked at Charl with narrowed eyes.

Even Yaya assumed a defensive stance, gazing at Charl with a vigilant look, though they were unsure what to be cautious about.

In this situation, Charl spoke, appearing puzzled.

"What plan? Didn't you say you were going to find 'Cannibal Candy'?"

Charl's question was met with a sigh from Rozen.

"So, that's what I said." Rozen straightforwardly responded, "I'm going to find the hiding mouse. What's your plan following me?"

That was the question Rozen wanted to ask.

Last night, after parting ways, Charl still appeared preoccupied. When they met in the classroom today, she was in her usual corner, all alone. However, her gaze towards Rozen seemed hesitant, not only hesitating to speak but also displaying an evasive manner, which was truly puzzling.

Now, Charl was following Rozen again, just like before, trailing behind him since they left the classroom. How could Rozen not have questions?

"Could it be..."

Rozen seemed to understand Charl's thoughts but chose not to acknowledge them, continuing to squint.

In response, Charl inadvertently puffed out her chest.

For some reason, although she did puff it out, one couldn't help but feel an awkward discomfort with the part that should have been soft. It seemed unnatural, giving off a somewhat fake appearance.

Of course, if this were brought up, Charl would surely shut him down.

Rozen kept his thoughts hidden, waiting for Charl's response.

Although he had already guessed the answer.

As expected...

"Be honored," Charl said proudly, "Because I will help you find 'Cannibal Candy.'"

It was the answer Rozen had expected.

There was no way.

"You were the first to mention the existence of 'Cannibal Candy' yesterday, and afterward, you showed a considerable interest in the existence of 'Cannibal Candy.' I thought you must have some thoughts about 'Cannibal Candy.'"

Rozen wasn't surprised; he simply asked in this manner.

"But why are you so proactive about finding 'Cannibal Candy'?"

Rozen asked.

"It's probably not a sudden burst of justice to protect the weak, is it?" Rozen said mockingly.

If the fearsome dragon girl, who made all the students tremble, took action for reasons like a sense of justice, it would probably astonish everyone in the entire academy.

In light of this, Rozen was also a bit curious about why this girl made such a move.

"There's nothing strange about it," Charl's gaze appeared a bit evasive, but her attitude remained firm. She continued, "That 'Cannibal Candy' is a indiscriminate random killer, and on top of that, a person of 'Thirteen,' level. If I suddenly encounter an attack like last night, isn't that very dangerous?"

"Oh?" Rozen raised an eyebrow, speaking in a half-smiling manner, "In other words, you're taking pre-emptive action to eliminate potential threats?"

"That's... that's right!" Charl glared at Rozen, saying, "Is it not allowed?"

"It's not that it's not allowed." Rozen paid no attention to Charl's fierce gaze and calmly said, "However, if you want to find 'Cannibal Candy,' you can go ahead and do it. Why do you have to follow me?"

Having said this, Charl had not responded yet, and Yaya behind Rozen kept nodding vigorously. It was nothing short of approval, as if she couldn't wait for Charl to leave this place, or rather, stay far away from Rozen.

Unfortunately,

"Please understanding this, Rorelai," Sigmund perched on Charl's head and finally spoke, "After all, Charl doesn't have any friends here, and being alone is ultimately inadequate. You seem to have a way to find 'Cannibal Candy,' so Charl had no choice but to place her hopes on you."

In other words, this ill-tempered girl wanted to hitch a ride and rely on Rozen to find 'Cannibal Candy,' right?

Surprisingly childish.

"Sh-Shut up, Sigmund!" Charl panicked and then flicked Sigmund off her head, saying, "If you keep babbling, I'll change your chicken lunch to shredded squid!"

"I won't be able to endure that, Charl," Sigmund said, flapping his wings and rising, looking helpless.

Rozen looked at Charl with some annoyance.

"Well, it's fine if you want to come along," Rozen told Charl, "Just, you must follow my instructions throughout the process. If you act recklessly by my side, you'll have to bear the consequences."

"Ugh, acting all mysterious and all," Charl raised an eyebrow, unwillingly saying, "If you end up failing, I'll mock you."

The implication was that she would still follow Rozen's instructions, right?

She really was a dishonest young lady.

"So, how do you plan to do this?"

Sigmund flew back to Charl's head and curiously asked Rozen.

So,

"We'll first meet someone."

Rozen turned around and continued walking.

"Meet someone? Who?"

Seeing this, Charl hurriedly caught up and continued to ask.

Rozen smiled slightly and uttered this sentence.

"A woman."

With that one sentence, Yaya, who was following behind Rozen, froze in place.
