54:A Reeling Feeling

The boy became flustered because, under the book, he was hiding the comic, which he managed to swap with increased dexterity, startling me.

"You got some skills, Reed," I said, looking at the name in the notebook.

He seemed to be a lower-class commoner who didn't even have the privilege of having a last name, or this might be a disguise.

He had brownish hair that drifted over his eyes like bangs, covering his eyes that were already obscured by specs. This made me wonder how this person even saw.

Reed, hearing this, laughed out loud suddenly. "Hmm! You don't even know who you are sitting beside."

"Why? Who are you?"

"Me..." He pointed at himself, then raised his arm to flick his hair, exposing a crystal bluish clear eye behind his specs that just appeared for a brief moment before being hidden by swaying hair.

"Kekekekekek!"

"Foolish mortals."

I started feeling goosebumps and took a step back.
