Chapter 95 - Ch 93 : Jean's POV
Now we are going to see based on Jean's perspective.
Today, Jean was agitated from top to bottom. She has spent a few days thinking about the accident with Ray.
She was finally able to meet someone who wasn't afraid of her and even treated her as a friend, but she had messed up so bad.
' Arggh Jean Adiratna, calm yourself. It was just an apology. There's no need to be this worked up. *Hiks* Why am I so stupid that time. Just running away without explaining anything, I wonder if he hates me now.'
Her mind was too focused on that accident, and she couldn't focus on anything else these past few days. Even during her sleep, she always dreamt of that time.
' Okay, I'm ready. This lunch break, I will go to his class and explain everything to him. I just hoped he would still want to be friends with me.'
She took a deep breath and tried to calm down. She didn't know why, but she couldn't forget the figure from that day.
< Geez, just hurry up and confess your love. Don't cry and come back to me later if that boy was already taken by the dragon girl.>
' Awawawa, what do you mean, Vampy. Our relation isn't like that. I'm just happy that he wanted to be friends with me. Furthermore, aren't you the one that got interested in his spirit beast?'
The voice that suddenly appeared inside Jean's mind was the Vampire baroness. It wasn't known why, by since their contract, Jean was able to hear Vampire baroness's voice inside her mind.
< Well, that spirit beast was pretty strong. But if I have to choose, I would rather choose that boy instead. Hmm, maybe I should take him for myself.>
' No, you can't!!!! He.. He's my friend.'
< Humph, say that to your blushing face.>
Jean's face became fully read while conversing with Vampy. This Vampire baroness teasing was always able to cheer her up and sometimes make her blush with shame.
Jean never said it loudly, but she had regarded the Vampire Baroness not only as a contracted spirit beast but also a dear friend of hers. Vampy has been with her since she was 3 years old. It was during her third birthday that her late grandmother gave her a pendant, and she found Vampy was sleeping inside it.
Ironically, Jean's problem with finding friends was also stemmed from the Vampire baroness.
As a Vampire, Vampire Baroness didn't suck blood like it was depicted in the movie, and instead, she drained the opponent's vitality from her touch.
This should not be a big problem if Jean could prevent Vampire baroness from touching other people. But with time slowly passed and the Vampire baroness power grew stronger, a side effect appeared.
At the age of 6, Jean's body couldn't control all of the Vampire baroness's power, and sometimes she would drain all the vitality in her surrounding.
And when this fact was known by others, Jean was obviously shunned and slandered as the bloodsucking girl.
< You know, if you just let me free, I could even suck the second and third-ranked vitality until they are dry, and you would get a higher position in this school.>
' No, I'm happy with this position. And I didn't really care that much about it.'
< Yeah, yeah. By the way, how about your parents? Have you heard anything about them? They have been running away from home because they were afraid of you, and only send you a meager amount of money every month..>
' Stop it Vampy, I don't want to talk about it. I'm really grateful to them for raising me up until I am now, and I don't want to hear you slander them anymore.'
With that, Jean's mood turned a bit dejected, and time rapidly passed to the lunch break.
.....
' Let's go Vampy, we will go to Ray and apologize.'
< Humph, whit that spirit of yours, I would rather believe it if you were gonna confessing your love.>
Jean ignored Vampy's teasing and went toward Ray's class. He had heard Ray said he was in class 10-3 before, so she had some ideas on where he should be.
Everything went pretty well, she was about to reach Ray's class, but just when she was only a few meters away, she bumped into someone else.
" Ouch"
The person bumped hard into her, but Jean's physique has been fortified by Vampy's power, so she could still manage to stand up, while the person who bumped into her had fallen headlong.
' Vampy, Vampy, it is the dragon girl from before. What should I do?'
< A trivial matter Jean. As a noble, I had been trained in etiquette. Just follow me, and everything will be solved.>
.
Jean tried to follow Vampy's words. In her head, Vampy's image was always a nobility, so she also tried her best to mimic Vampy's posture.
" Be more careful next time. Someone in your place should know how to position herself."
' Wow, you're great Vampy, you sound so much like a noble.'
< Please, I'm a noble Jean.>
However, Jean didn't notice that when Elsa bumped her. Her body unconsciously activated a self-protection method, and her aura leaked away from her.
" Ahh, this..."
A scream suddenly filled the hallway, and Jean finally notice that she had absorbed the vitality unconsciously.
' Stop, I don't want this. Stop it!!'
With Jean's interference, the absorption eventually came to an end.
But it was too late, the bystander students were gossiping about the event that had just happen, and from behind Elsa, Jean could see to figure was rushing this way.
" Elsa!!!!!" x2
It was George and Adrian. The two came into Elsa's side like knights protecting their princess.
" Damn bloodsucking girl! Why must you bully our Elsa?"
" No, I.."
" Bullshit. Stop with your excuse. We have seen you doing your wicked act. Now, in the name of Max Family, I, George Max will issue the punishment to Jean Adiratna for harming fellow students."
George's words were loud enough that the whole hallway could hear him.
