Chapter 158: Ring (4)

Ring (4)

Dorothys psychology was still unreadable.

No matter how I thought about it, guessing why she was acting like this today was mere speculation.

First of all, I wanted to resolve the awkward atmosphere.

Senior.

Hmm

As expected. She didnt turn her head towards me.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

Dorothy knew how to wear a smiling face like a mask, but it seemed she was no match for shame.

I thought that telling a funny story wouldnt get her attention and would only serve to increase the awkwardness of this atmosphere

Then.

Assuming Dorothy liked me, there was a way to ease the mood.

Its bold but equally as effective.

I put down the book beside me and approached Dorothy.

Huh? President? Huh?!

I silently bit Dorothys earlobe with my lips.

Dorothys body shivered slightly.

That trembling sensation was transmitted to my lips.

When I suckled on her earlobe as if I was kissing it, a sticky sound echoed along with a wet, smack.

For the first time, I heard Dorothys mouth open and close with a gasp.

Upon noticing her reaction, I detached my lips from her ear.

Dorothy quickly turned her head toward me, covering her bitten ear. Her eyes were wide with surprise.

Finally, our eyes meet.

Her face turned even brighter.

Thus, we ended up staring at each other, while she covered her ear.

I felt embarrassed as my face grew increasingly hotter. I understood Dorothys reaction.

Now, were even.

I said with a chuckle to conclude this interaction.

Dorothy seemed to ponder what to say, then soon burst into a giggle.

Nihi, President. Is this what you call, revenge?

Finally, the atmosphere softened.

Its unfair if only I suffer. It feels weird, you know.

Yeah, indeed. It felt quite strange

But somehow, it seemed the mood shifted in a slightly different way.

To be entirely honest, as a man, I liked such an atmosphere. The feeling of being tickled inside. Simply put, I was excited.

I wanted to keep looking intently at my favorite characters face like this, but since it seemed like I wouldnt be able to study at all if I did, I decided to restrain myself.

Since I couldnt really afford to leisurely indulge in this healing time

Senior, Im going to study, so dont disturb me too much.

Okay I wont.

If it were before, she might have responded with, Im going to disturb you~? Try to stop me if you can! Nyahaha!

For Dorothy, this is an unusually obedient attitude, which felt strangely awkward.

It wasnt bad. I preferred no disturbance.

Dorothy pulled out a small book from her witch hat and placed it on her lap. It appeared to be a novel.

Silence.

While reading, I sneakily glanced at Dorothy.

The plan was to take one more look at Dorothys face and then really focus on my book.

But

She seemed to have been glancing at me too, as our eyes met while her head remained fixed on her book.

She wore a sly smile.

Not focusing, President? Do you want to see this Big Sis that much~?

I was just distracted by something.

It was worrisome whether he could even stay alive.

***

Isaac, Im here.

Ah, Luce. Welcome.

When the sky was tinged with the colors of the sunset.

At a corner of the Butterfly Garden. I was deeply engaged in training, constructing a spell based on what I read in the book, and manipulating mana.

I could already use 6-star magic, but it wasnt yet at the level where I could utilize it in combat.

On the frost-filled grass. A female student with rose-gold hair appeared with a smile, holding a basket in both hands. It was Luce Eltania.

I gathered the magic circle and turned towards Luce.

Hello~!

Luce ignored Dorothys lively greeting as if it were nothing. Pretending not to hear, she looked only at me.

Luce approached me, giggling.

I brought some bread in case youre hungry. Hows the 6-star magic going?

Still a long way to go. But I think Ill reach my target in about two weeks.

Hehe. Thats impressive, Isaac. Two weeks for that is incredibly fast.

Ever since Luce became my friend, she gradually became brighter.

After I gave her the ring, her expression became as bright as any other cheerful female student, a level incomparable to before.

In romance comics, characters were often depicted with flowers blossoming around them; Luce now had that same aura. A radiant smile.

Of course, I was still the only one who could receive that smile.

Isaac, it seems your talent is growing. I feel like youre being rewarded for your efforts, which makes me even happi- Hmm?

Hmm?

It seemed like she was about to say something heartwarming, so I was about to respond with a smile.

Suddenly, Luce placed her hand on my shoulder, went on her tiptoes, and leaned her head close to my left ear.

It was a swift movement.

-Sniff, sniff

Luce was smelling my ear.

What are you doing, Lu-.

Isaac.

Luces eyes turned towards me.

Her expression was full of questions.

Whats this smell?

What smell?

Surely not.

It couldnt possibly be that she smelled the saliva Dorothy left on my ear. That was utterly absurd.

Hours had passed since then But, before considering time, how could she even distinguish that?

Just then, Dorothy approached to check the basket.

Nyahaha! Of course, Ive brought my own too, right? Huh?

Luce quickly approached Dorothy, and placed her hand on the back of her head

And sniffed around Dorothys left and right ears.

Then Luces head stopped in front of Dorothys right ear.

Hey, Junior? What are you doing all of a sudden?

Dorothy looked flustered.

Why

Suddenly, a grim aura emanated from Luce.

Even from a distance, I involuntarily shuddered.

Luce glared at Dorothy from a distance close enough for their breaths to mingle.

Under her rose-gold bangs, shadows fell. Her aquamarine eyes appeared dull like ashy gray. There was not a hint of liveliness in those cold eyes.

Her expression was frozen, cold, and blank.

She was cynical, like a doll devoid of emotions.

Yet, her voice, laced with murderous intent, weighed heavily on the scene.

Does your ear smell of Isaacs saliva?
