Chapter 295 - The Note (2)

I sighed as another note was stuck on top of my desk in my room. I didn't know where these notes were coming from, but they had to stop. It was strange because only Luke and I were supposed to have access to these rooms. But there was no way I could ask him something about this.

Luke would take these tiny jokes seriously, limiting my freedom even more than before. I burnt each note after I found one to get rid of the evidence. Sleeping beauty was a fairy tale that didn't exist in real life. How would I ever kill her?

Plus, the things written on each of these notes never changed. Maybe that person thought I never received it, sending it over and over again. Eventually, when I had enough energy after studying for the competition, I would have to look for that person on my own.

"Get up Rika," Luke knocked on my door.

"I'm already up," I yelled while quickly burning the note.

These notes always came early in the mornings at a specific time. I would burn them before going back to sleep again. Luke opened the door and appeared a bit surprised to see me out of my bed. It was rare for him to not shake me awake or pull me out of the bed this early in the morning.

"It's the weekends today," I wondered why he was here.

He was usually more lenient on these days. Other than the study sessions, we spent the day separately. When I noticed him holding another thick workbook, my jaw almost dropped. I couldn't be joining him for a study session this early in the morning, could it?

"We need to get ready for the competition," Luke answered like he read my mind.

"I thought we already finished that yesterday," I stepped a few steps backwards.

"I already booked a study room in the library. Michelle will be joining us as well," Luke added.

"This is replacing our usual study sessions, right?" I started to negotiate.

"We'll be combining them," he chose to be honest.

My jaw almost dropped from the news. I would die if he combined them together. Like the tutors called to his house, he was used to never taking a break. I wasn't going to willingly go with him unless I got something in return.

"No regular study sessions during the competition," I bumped into the wall.

"Let's just go Rika," Luke grabbed my hand and started to drag me out of my room.

Right, there was always this option. I sulked as I soon found myself in the halls on the route to hell. I gasped as an arrow was aimed towards my neck from the sudden wind. Luke, who watched the abrupt attack, paused. He scanned the entire area before bending down to pick up something that had landed in the process.

It appeared to be a paper note, the same as the ones I always received. Luke opened the folded piece of paper, revealing the same words as every morning. Instead of trying to burn the note right away, I froze from almost getting a paper cut. The school needed to increase their security lately. I was disappointed in them since I thought they learned their lesson from last time.

"You have to burn them," I took the note from him.

Or else the note would create chao by flying around the room. It was more of an annoyance as it would always fly in front of my face. I summoned my mana as I chanted to burn the note. It was weird since they usually only came once in the morning.

"This isn't the first time?" Luke studied me.

I froze as I forgot that I was hiding this from Luke. It would've been better to stay ignorant. But my hands unconsciously repeated the same things from habit. This entire thing started ever since I visited his parent's house.

"Maybe," I turned my head.

"How long?" he grabbed my shoulders.

"Maybe a few months," I mumbled.

"Rika!" Luke seemed disappointed in why I wouldn't tell him.

"I thought they would go away soon," I whispered.

"Where do they usually appear?" Luke couldn't recall it being anywhere near him.

"My bedroom," I revealed under his burning stare.

"We should report this to the school," Luke switched our location.

I nodded my head. At least it was better than going to the study room. Luke sent a message to Alex and Shelly while walking towards the teacher's office with me. I stood behind Luke as we confronted our homeroom teacher, Daniel.

"I apologize for coming without an appointment, but I believe this is an urgent issue. My partner has been getting these notes in her bedroom to kill someone every morning for months," Luke explained with the pile of ashes in his hands.

Daniel froze as he momentarily stared at the pile of ashes. It seemed this was a more serious issue than I thought it would be. The other teachers who overheard, began to chatter about the news, calling more security around the campus.

How was I supposed to sneak out in the middle of the night from the window now to meet up with Oili to get these karaoke meetings started? I listened to their plans to stop this issue as attentive as possible, trying to get information on the patrol routes and times.
