Chapter 128: Stay away!

Chapter 128: Stay away!

"Damn... those predatory gazes..."

Betraying her eloquent and eminent appearance, Serena cursed under her breath as she sipped on her champagne while glancing around the hall and noticing the number of looks President Seth was receiving from the surroundings.

Among everyone present here, there were only some remarkable people who could be differentiated from the crowd and were the focus of numerous attention. Like the lady from Emangeline continent with long curly pink hair, was mostly crowded by men of varying ages. Even the professors were not immune to her beauty.

A young man of Serena's age with crimson hair was excluding a noble aura around him but Serena had no interest in initiating a conversation with the man who has been coldly replying to anyone who approached the guy.

Well, Serena was not conversing with anyone at all, other than those whom she knew. All those people who came to get to know her, soon lost interest since Serena was not someone participating in the tournament rather she was the leftover.

Well, she argued inwardly that more than seventy percent here were just like her but she refrained from creating a scene and remained by Ciel's side who was also possessing the same vibe as that redhead.

Serena was taking advantage of the natural aura Ciel carried, to save herself from useless chatter.

"Despite not rejecting anyone, a single participant has yet to bring up any topic to speak with President Seth."

Unlike others who were either plainly ignoring others or entertaining them with a smiling face, President Seth just gave off an air that was making others nervous to even speak a word with him. The professors from different academies were conversing with him fairly normally but when it came to other teenagers...the President was visibly unreachable.

However, it was a fact as well that he was receiving varieties of looks from everywhere, both because of his manly and crisp looks and also his social status.

"Well, considering his personality, I just pray no one pisses him off with nonsensical talks."

Serena has faced how blunt and hurtful his words could be at times and here people were in their zone to mind Seth's attitude toward childish chit-chats. Truth be told, Serena somewhat anticipated as well that someone pokes him only to get thrashed. It would be a spectacle to witness~

"Your thoughts are leaking Serena..."

"Ahmm...sorry, senior."

-------------- ---------------- ----------------- ---------------

Out of the venue where the opening ceremony was currently taking place, there stood a sole figure of a teenage girl with midnight black hair blending in the night sky and oceanic eyes that could both entice and threaten those who try to gaze at them.

The woman was paler than what could be regarded as human and her skin seemed translucent as well, making Anabelle sure that this was not the true form of the girl.

A cold sweat rolled down the side of Anabelle's face before she jumped backward to make some distance between herself and this weird skill-user girl whose presence definitely was here yet she was not entirely here as well.

"Who are you?"

Anabelle's both hands were radiating with a cyan-green shade signifying the activation of a spell which she purely intended to hurt this girl if a satisfactory answer doesn't flow out of that mouth.

"Ah, now that's what I call a reaction~"

But like Anabelle's surging rage was nothing in the red eyes of the other one, she chimed playfully while pointing out at Anabelle with a grin.

"Listen, if you don't want to end up as-"

"No, you listen to me, carefully..."

Anabelle's words were stuck in her throat as the ghost girl flashed across the terrace within a fraction of a second and struck her arm inside Anabelle's throat, rendering her speechless.

The set of ruby eyes stared at oceanic ones as the prior one spoke out her words in a tone that most probably would not let Anabelle sleep tonight.

"I am going to take something most important from you, and when I do, I don't want your useless butt to interfere in between. You had enough on your portion and this time I am not going to have a single piece of scrap to come in between me and what I desire. So be a good girl and step aside from my path."

With those words, the figure of the girl disappeared before Anabelle fell to the ground with her throat scorching with a furious heat like she was made to swallow active lava.

She used her spell to heal her burning throat as a name suddenly flashed in her mind when she thought about the words she heard from the redhead.

"Miyuki...."
