91 Shouta and Claire becomes aware of Elandor

The second period started like that.

There wasn’t much happening, it was your usual class telling basics after the self-introduction of the teacher and fellow students.

I didn’t bother to pay attention, my concept of raising strength was completely different from the system followed in this world in the first place.

This allowed me to pay attention to all the students sitting around me.

“Oh gosh! Mitshua, get a hold of yourself girl!”

“The way you are glaring at me will make you look suspicious.”

I whispered slowly to Mitshua who was sitting beside me.

“Hummmph”, she grunted in reply and turned her head to once again look at the teacher.

But the anger burning inside her was eating her inside out. Unable to hide it, she kept taking fierce glances at me in between.

From the corner of my eyes and my high awareness of perception, I felt a couple of gazes directed towards us.

Both Shouta and Claire were looking at us sneakily.

In the eyes of others, Mitshua taking occasional peaks at me with her big-round eyes was no different from a nympho who had just found her lover.

Sometimes she bared her teeth while looking at me, sometimes she clenched her fists openly while at other times she breathed deeply…

p-a- n-d-a-n-0-v-e-l、(c)om Her out-of-sync actions were enough to catch the attention of Shouta and Claire.

Seeing Mitshua’s actions, Shouta felt a sudden sense of crisis. The girl who she had already regarded as his, was looking at someone else. They have already confessed their feelings and even held hands.

Soon they will kiss and all other things the couple do will happen eventually… so the one she should be staring at and paying attention to must be him. Why was she giving her attention to some stranger they just met?

The strong sense of possessiveness ignited in his heart made him have bad feelings towards Elandor unintentionally.

‘Never mind, maybe that boy annoyed her! When we will go home together, I will ask her why was she looking at that boy like that’, after telling himself these assuring words Shouta no longer paid attention to Elandor and Mitshua and instead concentrated on the class.

But Claire was still looking towards them. There was a different type of emotion in her eyes.

At this time, unable to hold back I turned my face towards one side and my eyes met Claire’s.

I was sure about it. The moment I saw her eyes I knew she was different from the other heroines. Those eyes did not show any hostility nor had any resentment for borrowing her friend…they were full of curiosity.

It was like she wanted to know more, like a kid who was bored the entire evening and found a new toy to play with. The excitement that she wanted to see all my secrets naked was clearly written on her oval face.

I was no stranger to this because I myself used to look at some people with those eyes before I transmigrated.

Not to be outdone, Claire nodded at me and showed a meaningful smile before just like Shouta once again concentrating on the class.

From this little confrontation, one thing was sure.

‘Claire was not in love nor had any feelings towards Shouta!’

‘So is she with Shouta just to find something exciting and worthwhile in her boring life?’

The question I asked myself only increased my guard for her.

…

——Claire’s pov—-

Oh gosh, my life has been so boring. Sometimes I ask my silly mind a question what’s even the point of living?

This stupid life….just following the usual routine of getting a little strong…finding a job… someone to marry then have kids, it’s like you are an actor following a ready-made script prepared specially for you.

Then one day a boy named Shouta caught my attention, he always overcomes his difficulties so easily, always has people running errands for him, and always has things so favourable that it seemed he was using some kind of cheat. So I got close to him to find out what sort of cheat he had, maybe that will make my boring life interesting?

But yesterday, I met a strange boy looking at me and that naive Mitshua.

He was trying to spy on us when we talked with Shouta.

He thought he was hiding perfectly but I still found his shadow, thanks to the special talent of my family -Heightened Hearing senses, which helps me to be aware of anyone near me.

But the thing was there was no infatuation or obsession in his eyes.

I am self-aware of my and Mitshua’s beauty~

Countless boys have confessed and pursued us but his eyes were clear like he had a different motive.

And, today Mitshua got up suddenly and sat beside him?

Heck! She even gave a wry excuse that she want to sit by the window.

Who are you fooling Mitshua? With that silly excuse, you can fool Shouta but not me.

Just look at all those expressions you are showing after sitting beside that boy~

You never once showed such expressions in front of Shota!

What did that boy do to you for showing such a response?

Moreover, when everyone seem to be interested in the lecture, that boy’s mind was completely in a different place as he never once looked towards the teacher who was teaching.

You are in such a prestigious university to learn about how to raise your strength so why are you not focusing?…you do know the tuition fees is high and everyone who enrols here aspires to be a successful person, for that you need to study properly and today is the first day, the first impressions made on others will help you in establishing easy future connections.

But heck! Even his self-introduction was a single line- I am Eladnor, unlike others who told about their goals, their character, their achievements etc.

He seems to be hiding a lot of stuff. With Shouta, I never felt such curiosity.

It’s my intuition but I think there is a big secret…I want to know what he is hiding so badly!
