Chapter 5- Mischievous Eva (Part 1)

After lunch, Kai made Eva leave first so that no one saw them together before he picked his stuff up and walked back to the class.

He made sure to keep an eye on the door in case someone was overly curious and tried to follow the new princess of the school.

During his trip back, Kai heard countless people talking about Eva. In mere hours, she became the topic of every single student in the school. They all had varying levels of interest in her, especially boys.

Their eyes were either filled with lust or admiration, no third option. Eva had simply transcended the concept of 'She's not my type' and became everyone's type without even trying.

Kai knew that already and that's why he made sure to never appear next to her or he will have to bid his life farewell.

'But, the fact that she found me is still odd. I left not a single trace when I left. Even the guild couldn't find me. How did she find me even if it's in 5 years? Did I leave something behind that made her realize where I went?' Thinking about the problem calmly, Kai found himself sitting in his seat with Eva beside him.

'I should recheck my identity documents again for any flaws.'

Since the teacher wouldn't be coming for a few more minutes, he decided to pull his book out and start reading. It was a book about human psychology that he borrowed from the library yesterday that he intended to read during the lunch break. But, the circumstances changed and he became unable to do so.

Suddenly, he heard a sound coming from his pocket along with a small vibration. So, he pulled out his phone, only to find a notification that said 'Eva had sent you a message'.

It took Kai a great deal of effort not to sigh before he opened the phone and read the message.

[Thank you for the meal.] it said.

Without hesitation, he replied.

[How did you get my number?]

In real-time, Eva's face lightened up as she smiled slightly and replied instantaneously.

[Getting your number is a walk in the park for me :)]

[Didn't I say not to talk with me unless I initiate the conversation?]

[Yes, but I'm not talking with you, I'm simply typing on my phone and coincidentally, what I type ends up appearing on your phone.]

Kai's face didn't change much but the message did almost make him click his tongue.

[Should I add another rule that chatting is also prohibited?]

[No! Please, no! Look, no one can notice. They won't feel suspicious and I also am not gathering attention on you.]

'This woman... Did I make a mistake by letting her stay here?'

Although killing Eva would be the easiest way to get rid of her, Kai will never do it for multiple reasons. First of all, Kai considered himself a hitman, not a murderer. So, he only kills people when they are targets of the guild and even then, he doesn't kill anyone. There is a set of rules he needs to follow when choosing his target. Second of all, if he kills Eva, he is sure that her whole family will come after him since she probably has some kind of tracking device planted into her body.

'Her family aren't some normal people. They can easily erase this city from existence and get away with it if it meant getting revenge on who killed their daughter.'

The third and final reason is...

*DING*

As his trail of thoughts was about to reach that point, another message reached him.

[How are your grades in school?]

Kai contemplated not replying but then shook his head and gave up. He knew that even if he didn't reply, Eva would bomb his phone with messages forever.

'I will change my sim card to an encrypted one tomorrow.' He noted in his head. But for now...

[Average.] He replied.

[I suppose with your character, you got precisely 50/100 in every single subject.]

Kai didn't reply and instead put his phone away and focused on the teacher who entered the class. What Eva said was indeed the truth, Kai had 50/100 on every single subject without fail. Before leaving his previous work, he had studied what a normal high school student should have and he reached the conclusion that 50/100 is the ultimate average score.

Although this normally could catch attention, this school's system was completely different since they only hand the score sheets at the end of the year and so not even one student knew about Kai's 50% average.

'This day is not going to pass peacefully, is it?'

A few more hours passed as the day was nearing its end. Except for 50 messages or so, Eva also kept a fairly normal attitude.

As Kai was picking up his stuff, and intending to leave, the door to the class was opened violently. Then, a tall, muscular guy with handsome features walked inside with a smug expression on his face.

"Oh, it's Taro... Shit, what is he doing here?" A boy said as he gulped down a mouthful of saliva.

"You mean Taro, the upperclassman and the ace of the basketball team? Damn, he looks intimidating."

"Where is the new transfer student?" He asked with a proud tone before his eyes fell on Eva and his breath halted for a second. Then, his grin widened. "You look way more beautiful than the rumors, Eva. I'm truly shocked by your beauty."

After saying that, he approached Eva's table and bent forward.

"Hey, be my girlfriend, would ya?"

Although his words might sound like a question, it was very apparent that he wasn't asking her but instead ordering her to do that in a roundabout way.

However, Eva didn't seem bothered by it as she smiled at him like she did to everyone.

"Thank you for your offer but I'm afraid I have to refuse."

"Oh, why is that?"

"I don't have any interest in dating anyone at this time." She said.

"But, you won't know till you try. Come on, let's go on a date and then you can give me your answer." Taro's face didn't change but his eyes had a dangerous glint in them as he secretly eyed Eva's body.

It was clear that he wasn't going to make this a normal date at all.

'Tsk, I've never seen a woman this beautiful. I gotta have her.' He thought excitedly. Compared to all the girls he dated and bedded, Eva was incomparable. She was akin to a rare flower on the peak of a mountain and Taro was eager to get it no matter what.

"No, unfortunately, I have a place I need to g-" As Eva was about to swiftly turn him down, a silhouette passed beside her. Looking up, she saw Kai leaving the class without even looking at what was happening.

However, when he passed by Taro, their shoulders hit each other which pushed the guy back visibly.

"Hm?" Looking at the boy who did that to him, Taro's face darkened slightly as he stood up.

"Shit, the creepy guy pissed him off!"

"This is bad! He is fucked!"

In the midst of the students' whispers, Kai continued walking away as if nothing happened.

"Hey, you. Stop right there." Taro said in an angry tone.

However, Kai didn't stop, not even for a second.

"I said stop, you pipsqueak!" Taro repeated as he grabbed Kai by the shoulder violently.

'He dug his own grave.' Eva thought as she got ready to make some calls in case she needed to make a corpse disappear from the face of the world without leaving any traces behind.

However, Kai didn't move much as he simply looked back at Taro. The tall delinquent stared directly at him too and instantly, his body froze.

Then, without any warning, he fell down to the ground.

"Huh?" The guy didn't understand what happened. "Hm? Did I trip?" He asked himself as he looked at Kai who already turned around and left.

"Tsk, that bastard ran away! Don't test your luck, fucker! Trash like him should be thrown away!" He said as he stood up and dusted his clothes off. n-)OVelb1n

'So cool!!! Kai is too cool! I love you, I love you so much!' Eva, the only one that knew what Kai did, had a small smile on her face as her mind went wild. Hearts exploded in her mind everywhere like a festival of fireworks. But, then when she heard what Taro said, her face immediately changed.

"Taro-Senpai, can you follow me please?" She said with a smile.

"Oh, of course! Wherever you want~" After that, the two left the classroom.

One of them was having the time of his life while the other was seething with anger far greater than Taro could ever imagine.

The two eventually ended up reaching the storage room of the school.

"Oh, why did you bring me here? Aren't we jumping a few steps?" Taro asked with a perverted grin as he noticed Eva closing the door with a click.

"Oh, yes we do. Now, can I ask a question?"

"Hm?"

"Which is it: the arm or the leg?"
