Novel Full Chapter 73 Fox
Vale felt really uncomfortable as everyone was looking at him.
Luckily, his friends noticed this and they all decided to surround him as they headed toward the exit…
“Wait!”
At this point, Maya already called out so there was no way for them to ignore her or they would be seen as arrogant students.
Vale sighed inwardly as he looked at the approaching students.
“Is there anything we can help you with?” Aubrey asked as she stood in between the two. If Maya wanted to scold Vale for being better than her, Aubrey has many comebacks in her head to humiliate her.
Luckily, Maya didn’t seem to be as arrogant as she thought. She seems calm like when they met her at the Assembly Hall.
“I was simply curious about your friend. He managed to get 25 Spirit Strands at the age of 14. Not even the elites of our family were capable of doing that.” Maya said without any hint of sarcasm in her voice. She seem genuinely interested so Aubrey’s excitement died down.
“Mhmm…” She observed Maya for a moment before glancing back at Vale who had a helpless smile on his face.
Vale nodded at Aubrey and replied to Maya…
“I was just lucky… Twenty-five Spirit Strands might even be my limit already so don’t expect too much. In any case, we should hurry and return to our class.” Vale said as they don’t have a long break.
Before Maya can reply, he continued. “You should also use this time to have a break. It’s nice meeting you, Student Representative Maya.”
He then gestured that he was about to leave but it wouldn’t be easy.
“Hey… Maya hasn’t finished talking yet!” The third-year student behind Maya suddenly spoke as he felt that Vale was being disrespectful.
The other one also felt the same and added.
“It’s impolite to leave just like that… I think you should attend etiquette lessons first. I can give you a recommendation.”
The other students silently chuckled after hearing this but they were still continuing with what they were doing. Although they were listening, they didn’t want to make it too obvious.
Aubrey wanted to defend Vale at this point but Maya glared at the two seniors before apologizing to Vale.
“It’s not my intention to hold you here. I apologize for taking your time. Let’s meet again some other time.”
With that said Maya left the cafeteria as if she had forgotten to have a meal. The two third-year students didn’t expect this development since they thought that Maya wanted to cause trouble to this student in Class 2.
They were even prepared to make it difficult for him to join any Student Club. Unfortunately, Maya’s action discouraged them from going too far.
Without any other choice, they immediately followed Maya out of the Cafeteria. 𝙡𝒆𝙖.𝙘𝙢
‘It’s really hard to recruit this girl to our Club…’ One of them thought as he looked at Maya’s back.
In the meantime, Vale frowned at Maya’s subtle action just now.
‘She used a Dark Spell so openly? Is it not prohibited to use it here?’ Vale thought as he still felt the remnant of Dark Energy that she subtly used a few moments ago.
Apparently, Maya tried inspecting his body just now! Although she failed in the end thanks to his Spell Dispersion, it was still a reckless move!
Luckily, as soon as he felt intimidated by the pressuring gaze of the third-year students just now, he immediately activated his Phantasm State to protect himself.
‘Why did she do that?’ Vale sighed inwardly as he wasn’t sure how to expose Maya for doing that. In the first place, he can’t prove that she tried inspecting his body with a particular spell.
It seems that he has to follow Lisa’s advice to read the Academy Rules first.
‘I’ll check it later after class…’ Vale thought as he left the cafeteria with his friends.
Back in the classroom, most of their classmates haven’t returned yet since they still have 10 minutes or so…
They simply decided to chat about Maya’s appearance a while ago to pass the time.
“I thought that she was really mad just now… I guess it was her first time knowing someone better than her.” Lisa commented as she recall how Maya was looking at Vale intently.
“I think she has been eyeing you since we met her yesterday at the Assembly Hall…” Chad added.
“Ahhh, she was already into him since yesterday? How come I didn’t know of that?” Aubrey asked in surprise. She looked at Vale with knitted brows.
“Chad was exaggerating. She only glanced at me for a brief moment when we were looking for a student club. He’s thinking too much.” Vale replied as he recalled yesterday’s incident.
Click…
The door in the classroom opened as Neil’s group finally returned.
Vale’s group just ignored him as they decided to continue chatting. However, Neil suddenly approached them so they all glanced at him with questioning looks on their faces.
“Vale, I apologize for pointing you out a while ago. My friends keep asking me so I can’t keep your identity a secret. In any case, they’ll know of you sooner or later.” Neil said with a very unusual gentle tone in his voice.
Vale looked at him in shock as he never expected Neil to even bother apologizing. He didn’t really mind his actions since he was already expecting this to happen.
“I understand… Just don’t exaggerate my achievement so I won’t get caught into trouble by our seniors.” Vale replied.
Although Neil’s apology seems very forced as he was still trying to reason out, Vale couldn’t be bothered about it and just accepted his apology.
“Hmph… He probably realized that you will be classmates for a long time so it should be better for him to side with you, Vale.” Aubrey added in a whisper as Neil left for his seat.
Vale only smiled as he no longer bothered to discuss this matter.
After a while, all his classmates have returned and their subject where they’ll learn more about the Darkness Arcane Path finally started.
