Chapter 439 - Show Business (1)

"Good luck," I hugged Sienna before she left the room.

"Are there any tips?" She wanted to know how it would be living with Alex.

"He considers the reputation of his family name to be extremely important," I recalled from my time together with him in the first year of middle school.

"He's one of those people," Sienna g.r.o.a.n.e.d.

Closing the door once Sienna sadly left, I faced their dorm room. Although it wasn't as luxurious as mine, they still had soft king-sized beds in their one bedroom they shared together. They didn't have a living room but had all the necessary furniture in their spacious room that was bigger than the size of my bedroom and living room combined together. It was a great place considering that they had purely purchased this with their points.

"You can leave everything the way they are. I'm not wearing any of them," I let Cillian know.

Sienna had already placed my collection of cheap clothes inside her closet. I smiled, imagining myself basking in comfortable shoes and clothes for the next month. I wouldn't have to sneak out in the middle of the night anymore, using the front door. If Delia's plan worked out in the end, I would be able to use the club room freely as well.

"And you can ignore Luke's list of instructions if he sent any," I heard his marble vibrating.

"It's over tens of pages," Cillian scrolled through the file.

"I think he wrote them when he returned to his dorm," I knew Luke would write more if he knew about the mission beforehand.

Going to the clubroom since we were free for the rest of the day, I found everyone already inside the room, taking advantage of the time-space function except for Sienna and Delia. Maybe Luke and Alex were going through the rules since it was their first day together. After pitying them, I grabbed a headgear for myself and defeated the last dungeon blocking the way to the demon king's castle.

"Michelle, he���s awful. Since some tests are coming up, he's not letting me go anywhere tomorrow," Sienna cried when I took my headgear off.

"He'll let you go if the results are good the next day," Shelly consoled her.

"How is it with Luke?" Sienna turned to Delia.

"Nothing happened. After greeting each other and going through how we would respect each other's spaces, he apologized for using the living room to work on some doc.u.ments," Delia surprisingly revealed.

"Luke is only strict towards Rika," Shelly agreed from her time with Luke.

"I feel a little bad for him," Delia didn't know how much work Luke was assigned from his fractions.

"I don't think he'll be leaving that room unless it's for his spars with Alex," Delia recalled me going through his daily schedule with them.

"I think your plan will work," I agreed with her.

I smiled as I finally completed the demon kingdom game and would be able to move into the unlocked sequel now. Muimeme was adorable as usual with Yuriri who cheered me on. Leaving the club room with Cillian, I felt satisfied with the progress I made today. I was no longer desperate to play more games when I had free access to them.

Flopping onto the bed after changing a long bath, I wanted this paradise to never end. This was why I g.r.o.a.n.e.d when Cillian didn't stop shaking and yelling at me to wake up the next morning for classes. When I opened my eyes, I found the time to be almost 7AM, the time when classes started. I was so used to Luke waking me up in the mornings that I didn't know how to wake up in time alone.

"I already got your uniform out," Cillian passed me the hanger.

I nodded as I quickly changed while Cillian prepared our class materials for the morning for the both of us. There was no time to eat breakfast as Cillian and I directly sprinted to our new classroom. Unfortunately, we were still late as the teacher glared at us to come inside. I sighed as I noticed there was only the front row left. This was the perfect chance to switch to the second row near the window if I arrived a bit earlier.

Sitting in my original seat beside the window, I watched the scenery outside the window since my mind was still groggy from waking up. My head was placed against my desk as my stomach grumbled from the classes never ending when I didn't have enough energy anymore to sit properly. Luke would usually give me a chocolate bar to help me survive whenever I would have to skip breakfast.

"Rika! Are you listening?" The teacher targeted me.

"You said something about the theory of mana," I mumbled from quickly trying to recollect my memories.

"That was two classes ago!" The teacher frowned.

"What class is this?" I propped myself up.

"Math," the teacher sighed.

"I think we may have to talk during your break," she continued to teach the lesson.

My head almost crashed on my desk as my morning break flew away from me. But I still had my lunch break, and evening break to make up for it. I would somehow manage to quickly grab some food during my lunch break. Listening to the teacher going over her lesson again during the break, my daydreams of eating more cakes distracted me from fully paying attention.

"Do you know the answer to this question?" She wrote on the board.

"Strawberry shortcake pie?" I mumbled.
