Looking for the hero's sister...

'Why didn't I see his mother?'

After sitting in thought for a while, Rain brushed those negative thoughts away.

'Anyway, I have to thank the Will of the World for the fully set table~'

Having sorted out the information he had received, Rain shifted his gaze back to the hero. He didn't interrupt him before, as he wanted to see how it would end. Сale still didn't want to give up and continued to persuade Eliana.

Rain had had enough of this situation, so he got up from his seat and made his way over to the blond man still standing in the aisle and not stopping talking.

"Out of the way."

An unfamiliar male voice snapped Cale out of his conversation, forcing him to look at the one who addressed him.

"...what?"

Cale looked to the side in confusion and found there was enough room to pass. He opened his mouth to say something, but Rain's rough voice beat him to it.

"Get out of my way."

Despite that short phrase, Cale felt a bone-chilling chill that was further intensified by the pair of blood-red eyes directed at him. His body instinctively stepped aside, hitting the neighboring tables.

When the aisle was clear, Rain walked past them with a slight smirk, heading towards the exit. He didn't turn around to see how it ended, because in a few seconds it was all known. 

The awkward silence was interrupted by Eliana's ringing laugh, followed by her voice full of mirth.

"Phahahaha, did you just get scared of my brother?"

When she had laughed enough, her voice grew colder.

"Cale, you're even more pathetic than I thought, so take someone of your own level with you on a mission."

This time there was no hesitation in her words, making it clear that she would not change her mind.

Walking out of the classroom I had a hard time holding back a smile at those words.

'Even her character has its good points.'

Walking through the bustling corridors, Rain rubbed the dark ring on his finger thoughtfully. It was the same Ring of Terror he had recently received as a random reward for one of Astrid's quests.

'As I thought, the hero has some immunity from this sort of thing.'

Rain activated the ring as soon as he approached Cale, but he was only confused. It was only when Rain managed to plant a tiny speck of fear in his heart that the ring had any effect.

'Perhaps the hero has some sort of World's Will defense for situations like this.'

Rain wasn't entirely sure of that assumption, so he just continued on his way in a certain direction.

Rain had already guessed after his first meeting with Eliana that because of her beauty the hero would definitely not be able to avoid her. And when he used the Ticket of Opportunity, he was finally convinced of it.

Initially, Rain wanted to kill Cale right away, but he realized that this hero was not the only one, and to defeat the others, he needs to make good use of Cale and take everything from him.

The more Rain was sure that now for some time Eliana would feel only disgust for the hero, and this time was enough to subdue her.

As for his other sister, Liana, unlike her sister, she didn't even disgust the hero, considering him a nobody not worthy of even a glance, so Cale didn't stand a chance against her.

Gradually, his surroundings changed until Rain finally moved to another building in the academy.

Walking down the corridors, Rain scrutinized his surroundings, looking for the item he needed. Soon his eyes came across this.

It was a simple looking door, on which hung a sign with beautiful gold letters.

«Amelia Flamestrider, senior teacher in Alchemy»

'Since you've been trying to hit on my sisters, it's only fair of me to try out your sister, isn't it?'

With a smirk, Rain turned the doorknob in anticipation. However, nothing happened. 

Once, twice, three times...

He turned it several times, but nothing changed.

'The door is locked.'

Coming to this conclusion, Rain let out a frustrated sigh.

'Looks like the hero's sister's tasting is on hold for a while.'

[Host, you won't always be given comfortable situations like you were with Celestia and Astrid, which helped you make rapid progress with them.]

Rain also realized that he had been lucky in situations with both of these women.

'But that just means I have to create that situation myself... or steal it from the hero.'

Looking once more at the door with her name on it, Rain turned around and prepared to leave when a voice called out to him.

"Are you looking for Ms. Flamestrider?"

Rain turned toward the source of the voice and saw that not far away from him stood a girl his age with a journal in her hands.

She was wearing a standard female uniform, but had to restrain her non-standard large breasts.

When Rain saw her, a strange mixture of emotions flashed in his eyes, awakening some scenes in his mind.

After studying his face better, the girl flipped back a few strands of her hair with an elegant hand.

"I wasn't sure at first, but it really is you, Rain."

Her words made Rain snap out of his thoughts.

"Hello to you too, Olivia. What are you doing here?"

"Just passing by and I was curious if it was really you."

Succinctly replied Olivia.

"Okay, it's me and I really need Amelia, can you tell me where she is?"

"Judging by how long you stood in front of her door, you must be close. May I ask who you are to her?"

"I'm her… friend."

Olivia thought about something for a few seconds before she said.

"Then perhaps you're not aware of it yet, but she's been having problems at home in recent weeks and is rarely here. If you want to know exactly when you'll find her here, you'd better check with her yourself."

Realizing that he wouldn't be able to get any useful information from her about it Rain decided to change his plan.

'Just going to ask Сale where I can find his sister.'

Thinking about it, Rain turned the conversation in another direction, pointing to the clock hanging on the wall.

"The next class starts soon, so we should hurry up."
