Chapter 780 Break Time

780 Break Time

~DING!~

The first class ended after about an hour, and a long break was announced for the students.

Once the digital bell rang, the Instructor excused herself—stealing one final glance at R'ai, and also at Luc'ia—before exiting the classroom.

The reason Kar'eena looked at the latter as well was because she asked a lot of intelligent questions, and they both entered a small debate. The winner was, of course, Kar'eena, but that didn't prevent her from looking at Luc'ia with curious eyes.

Both of the new students were exceptional—she had been briefed on that much—but she never expected an incident to occur on just their first day.

'They show a lot of promise.' Was her fleeting thought before leaving the classroom, and letting the overexcited students enjoy their break.

Needless to say, there was a lot of noise the moment she stepped out.

*************

"R'ai, that was awesome!"

"For real, man! I really didn't think you'd be able to answer that. Even I don't think I could have given such a fluid answer like you did... and I was paying full attention."

"Sure you were... pfft!"

"H-hey!"

"But, damn... Luc'ia, you were amazing as well."

"Right? Why would you get into a debate with the Instructor? I mean... you made a lot of convincing points, but... I mean, Instructors obviously know more than us."

"Did you formally learn Magic before coming here? You really blew me away with everything you were saying."

"I felt the same! Honestly, the both of you are INCREDIBLE!"

Once break started, the majority of students in the classroom flocked around Rey and Lucielle, bombarding them with words of praise and compliments. Follow the latest novels on no/velbin(.)com

They had innocent eyes that brimmed with energy—some of them more than the others. A lot of them were star-struck, which was weird considering both Rey and Lucielle were the newbies of the class.

Of course, not all students acted so excessively.

In fact, a few students didn't even bother with both of them and simply enjoyed their break by forming their own small group or just occupying their space in the class.

One of them was Ad'oni.

'Seems like he's a class loner. He immediately left the classroom once it was Break...' Rey's thoughts trailed as he navigated the maelstrom of words directed at him by his overenthusiastic classmates.

'That's a bad move, Adonis. You should try to blend in if you want to keep your disguise. It's not like you can just hide in the background with your looks...'

Since Adonis was handsome, he would get attention wherever he went. Rather than excluding himself from the group, he should have capitalized on his good looks and strength to gain a foothold in the class, obtaining everyone's support and trust.

At least, that was what Rey thought.

'It's not as easy as it sounds, though. I can tell now...' Rey forced a smile as he was bombarded with even more questions.

"What's the size?"

"What color is it?"

"Did you touch it before? How did it feel like?"

"Ahh... yes, tell us the texture!"

"The girth!"

"Did you see the full length?"

As all of these questions bombarded Lucielle, her sly smile widened, and for a second, she tilted her gaze to meet his.

He slowly shook his head to tell to STOP.

But... the daring expression on her face told him she wasn't going to listen to him.

At that moment, a random thought popped into his mind.

Rather than utilizing the multiple Skills that existed in his arsenal to stop Lucielle, or even distracting everyone with something grand—or simply telling Lucielle not to say anything in a commanding tone—he decided to follow his teenage instincts.

~WHOOSH!~

Rushing towards Lucielle, he attempted to silence her by placing his hand on her lips.

That's right—this was Rey's frantic solution to his problem.

Unfortunately, things didn't go exactly as he wanted him to—well, that would be an understatement, considering what happened next.

He used too much speed to dart in her direction, and just as he closed in on her, she abruptly looked at him with a surprised face.

Rey tried to stop, but inertia was applied at that very last minute, resulting in his hand flying forward, and his face soon following suit.

The end result...?

Gasps filled the classroom as Rey and Lucielle collapsed on each other, with the former being on top—his hand on her chest, and his lips pressed against hers.

It was unbelievable that such a thing would happen... but it did!

Rey and Lucielle—no, R'ai and Luc'ia—just kissed!

Yeah... yeah, I know all these things are cliche, but just hang with me, okay?

Pfft! It is funny regardless...
