We can't let him be surrounded by so many people!
The moment the thought arose, the body acted before the brain.
Yulis grabbed Lynn's hand and, amidst everyone's frozen gazes, quickly rushed out of the crowd.
She ran until she was far away and could no longer see anyone around her before she stopped, panting heavily.
When she came to her senses, she realized...
She was still holding that man's hand tightly.
His palms were large and warm, carrying a comforting temperature.
My palms were sweaty.
Her cheeks were also incredibly hot.
"I……"
Just as she was about to explain something, her personal terminal on her wrist suddenly rang.
drip.
It was a message from Claudia Enfield.
Yulis clicked on it.
[Julis, did you have fun with Lynn?]
Remember to bring him to the student council office; I need his help with something personal.
The word "private matter" in that message was highlighted.
Looking at this message, Yulis felt like a cat caught red-handed stealing fish, a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
……
The atmosphere became even more subtle on the way to the student council room.
Several times, Yulis tried to pull her hand away, but each time she exerted force, Lynn seemed to anticipate her movements and subtly tightened his grip on her hand.
The force wasn't strong.
If you break free with all your might, you definitely can.
But Euryth gave up.
Her face flushed, she lowered her head, and let him hold her hand as they walked through the campus.
She could feel the complex emotions in the eyes of the students passing by—envy, jealousy, and a mixture of blessing.
This made her feel like she was on fire.
Yet, deep down, there was a tiny, secret joy that she herself was unwilling to admit.
at last.
The heavy, carved wooden door of the student council room came into view.
open the door.
The two discovered that Ayato Amagiri was already waiting in the room.
He paused for a moment when he saw the two of them come in, especially when he saw their hands clasped tightly together, but he still nodded politely.
Meanwhile, the room's owner, Claudia Enfield, was sitting in the chairman's seat, processing documents.
She looked up when she heard the door open.
A gentle smile bloomed on that flawlessly beautiful face.
Her gaze swept over the two of them, finally lingering on their tightly clasped hands for a full second.
Just for a second.
Eurythmia felt the air in the room suddenly turn icy cold.
"Ah, you've arrived."
Claudia stood up, her skirt tracing an elegant arc.
With light steps, she personally poured Lynn a cup of black tea.
Then, quite naturally, she pushed past Yulis, who was still standing there in a daze, and sat down on the sofa next to Lynn.
Their bodies were almost pressed against each other.
She looked up, her sea-blue eyes filled with tenderness and concern, and asked softly.
"Honey, did you enjoy your campus tour today?"
She paused, her voice carrying a hint of coquettish complaint.
"Is there... some blind fly that's bothering you?"
These words were loaded with meaning.
A blind fly?
...Are you talking about me?
Yulis's face instantly turned bright red, this time from embarrassment.
She stood there, at a loss, feeling like a third party who had intruded into someone else's home.
Correct.
It's like that feeling of a cat stealing fish.
Chapter 155: The scene of Bai Xue's (a popular online novel) work – I was clearly here first!
“Darling, I called you here so you could watch over things.”
Claudia smiled, but her gaze swept meaningfully over Eurythm beside her.
"To avoid any misunderstanding, and to avoid you misunderstanding..."
"I'm not a bad woman who would 'cheat'."
cheating?
This word caused the temperature on Yulis's face to rise again.
Reason told her that the right thing to do was to immediately let go of Lynn's hand.
But she gripped it even tighter.
Claudia maintained her perfect smile as she slowly turned her head toward Euryth.
The smile in those sea-blue eyes remained, but the warmth had completely faded.
"Ah, right."
"About our 'agreement' from yesterday -..."
She paused slightly.
"—Do you want me to help you review it again?"
This gentle question is more oppressive than any interrogation.
Yulis's heart skipped a beat.
But her last vestige of pride as a princess compelled her to straighten her back.
"I... I was just fulfilling my duty as a student, showing the new special admissions student around the campus... that's all."
She wanted to speak with conviction, but when her voice came out, it was as weak as a kitten's, and even she felt guilty.
"is it?"
Claudia's smile remained unchanged.
The conversation suddenly shifted to Amagiri Ayato, who had been left out in the cold.
"Tengoku-kun, what do you think about 'the obligations of classmates'...?"
"Does this include defeating the ninth-ranked opponent in a single move in the dueling arena, all for his sake?"
"—And then, hand in hand, parading around the campus?"
After saying that, she smiled and concluded as if she had delivered a final verdict.
“Ricefield is really doing her job as a classmate very well.”
Ayato Amagiri's expression froze.
Eurythm's pretty face was burning hot, almost as if it were about to evaporate.
She couldn't refute it with a single word.
So the bad woman already knew...
Her control over the academy far exceeded her own expectations.
This terrifying battleground is about to enter its next phase—
Ayato Amagiri, who had been silent all along, finally mustered up the courage to forcefully interrupt the conversation.
"Um... I'm so sorry to have interrupted your conversation..."
His voice was hoarse, and he didn't even dare to meet the eyes of the two girls, yet his gaze carried an undeniable earnestness.
“But I do have something very important that I would like to ask President Enfield for.”
Claudia gave Yulis a meaningful look before sitting back down in the president's seat, regaining her composed and elegant demeanor.
"Tianwu, please speak."
"Thank you... I wanted to... inquire about the whereabouts of my sister, Amagiri Haruka."
Ayato Amagiri's fist clenched unconsciously.
“She was also a student at this academy three years ago… but…”
Claudia manipulated the light screen in front of her a few times.
In the large student council room, only Ayato Amagiri's tense breathing could be heard.
A moment later, Claudia looked up, her voice carrying a hint of formulaic regret.
"Tengori-kun, school records show that your older sister, Tengori Haruka, disappeared on campus three years ago and her whereabouts remain unknown."
"Missing..."
Ayato Amagiri swayed slightly, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
“However…” Claudia changed the subject.
"It's not entirely hopeless."
He looked up sharply.
“The only hope…” Claudia tapped her finger lightly on the screen, and a golden event poster appeared.
"It means winning the 'Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival'."
"According to the regulations of the Integrated Enterprise Foundation, the champion of the Star Warrior Festival can make a wish within the foundation's authority."
"They will usually grant your wish, as long as it's not to destroy the world."
"This opportunity might provide clues about Amagiri Haruka."
She paused, then pulled up another file.
It was a pitch-black, menacingly shaped katana.
"Furthermore, the pure Starlight-style weapon your sister once used—the Black Furnace Demon Sword—is currently stored in the academy's highest-level security zone."
"Black Furnace Demon Sword..." Ayato Amagiri murmured to himself.
“Yes.” Claudia’s expression turned serious.
"An extremely dangerous demonic sword, possessing its own consciousness, which will place a huge burden on the user."
"Since Amagiri Haruka disappeared, no one has been able to use it."
