Chapter 8 Ch 6: The Transfer Student Is Always Important [Pt3]

The sound of the school bell ringing brought relief to most people. But it was not so for Yohan.

Every tick of the clock made him that much more anxious to escape alone that he could no longer hold it in. And he could not run away as well since he was being kept an eye on by both Ruri and Zane.

And not only them both, but other students who had managed to tag themselves into this group looked at him fidgeting as well.

"I-I think I will go and freshen up before we head out. I'll be back in a bit."

Zane looked like he wanted to speak up but then thought better of it and sat back down. Yohan was so thankful that he was sure it was showing up on his face.

"Wait, I need to freshen up as well. Mind I accompany you, man?"

But all his hopes of running away were dashed as soon as an unrelated classmate stood up. It was someone Yohan got along pretty well with so he could not simply reject this man.

Not to mention, this senior was pretty well-known in their school circle. Making enemies with him would make Yohan's life much worse.

"Hey, stop staring into space, and let's hurry up and go. I don't know about you but my body feels like it's about to burst already.

The only window of escape for Yohan was busted as the senior took a hold of the back of his uniform and dragged him away.

Yohan was sure that the fist on his clothes was a little too tight for it to be normal but he did not comment about it.

He did not want to get beaten up in front of everyone here. And the senior did look in the mood to have a 'chat' with him.

As soon as Yohan was gone, the classroom broke out into whispers. Every interested male wanted to talk with Ruri. But no one had wanted to be disrespectful by cutting between her and her newly acquired boyfriend.

But now that the obstacle was gone, everyone rushed in to talk her ear off.

In the end, Ruri decided she could no longer take it and grabbed the nearest person to her to act as a shield.

"I'll be back in a second. Message me when Yohan comes back."

Ruri signaled to the girl who had helped her this far. The girl gave her a 'thumbs up' to show that she understood and Ruri escaped that situation.

But she did not think things through when she grabbed the person because it was a familiar face when she looked back.

"You? Are you doing this on purpose? Why did one of the devils show up in the human world? You all were still under the curse as far as the upper administration. How did you step into the human world?"

Now that they were alone, Ruri dropped her gentle mask and her expression turned crude and harsh.

"There are ways for us demons to get around these rules. But of course, you 'law-abiding' angles know nothing about it. Oh, I forgot. It is you 'good folks' that always end up screwing people over. It's a wonder you are not very well-liked."

At the same time, Zane also dropped his cool mask and his face turned cold and rage-filled.

There was clear hate in both of their eyes. It was a result of that long-standing fude between the two races. They had never gotten along ever since ancient times.

Zane managed to dodge the knife Ruri threw toward him made up of her light magic. It was thrown relatively slow for what it was worth but the intent was clear.

"Don't disturb me and my mission. The human world is off-limits to those from the 'evil side' and the same goes for humans. You cannot mess with them so leave Yohan alone as well. He's just a normal human. You cannot drag him into our world-"

The rage in Ruri's eyes was clear. They made those black orbs burn a bright color and also somehow made them look lighter. She was even more enraged at the scoff Zane gave at her words.

"Oh, how can *you* of all people say that? Was it not your side that cursed this human into a potential demon king and gave our side a chance? Even if the goddess who let out that curse was too young, she should have known better than to let it happen so casually. We are just taking advantage of an opportunity you gave us."

Zane cut Ruri off in the middle. He was enjoying the angle of being speechless in front of him.

Too long had the 'so-called' good side oppressed them but it would no longer be the case. Their side finally had a chance at getting the monarch.

But to do that, they had to corrupt the human thoroughly and make his desires run rampant. Otherwise, the only choice they would have would be to kill this human and wait for another human with these characteristics to show up.

And it could take centuries to happen.

'No way. Our race cannot afford to lose our leader a second time. Fortunately, humans are weak to pleasure and we can make him fall into our world quite easily.'

"Don't think you will be able to succeed so easily. I will pull Yohan out of your clutches and into the pure world of love. You will not be getting your way this time."

Zane wanted to laugh at this silly angle's tricks. She might not even have realized what she was doing but she was unconsciously trying to seduce the human onto her side.

Usually, angels and holy beings were not lustful creatures and had no bad intentions in their bodies. But once in a while, there was a chance for them to get corrupted if they spend too long in the human world.

If you add the corrupting influence of the devil king, then this angle stood no chance. Zane was sure that this angel did not know all that though. She was too close to this human and she was trying to get even closer.

And what she had especially not realized was how 'sensual' some of her actions were and how they would seem to humans.

"You! Don't ignore me. In the end, devils like you will lose."

Ruri's fist connected with the wall on his side and Zane was all but caged in her arms. Had someone walked through this corridor, they would have thought that Ruri was bold.

It was only after someone saw her eyes and decided to take a deeper look would they understand what was happening.

They both are too into their taunting that they did not notice someone approaching them.

Yohan, who stumbled on this scene felt his knees go weak and he took a few steps back hurriedly.

That noise caused two pairs of eyes to turn toward him with dumbstruck expressions.

"Yohan, this is not what-"

"You know what? I think I will go home today. R-Ruri, good luck with your confession and let's not be together anymore. Now bye."

Yohan felt surprised for sure and even a little hurt at what just happened. He had been forced into a relationship and bumped in a matter of hours.

He knew he had bad luck when it came to relationships but now he had to wonder if it was himself and not his luck.

"Yohan, wait. Listen to me. It was not me who did anything. That demon forced me to-"

'Yeah right. It did not look like you were being forced to do anything but the other way around. Well, it also makes sense for those two main characters to like each other.'

'Shut up. I am not in the mood here. If you did not see, I kind of got dumped here.'

Yohan had a plan to not go home today but his feet ended up taking him home non-the-less. It was fortunate that nothing happened on the way home because Yohan was not paying any attention to it.

It was not until Yohan was back in his room that he realized that he forgot to ask his friends about staying over at their home for a few days. And that meant that Yohan would have to face those strangers in his home once again.

But he was not going to go out of his room in any condition unless it was necessary. He could also skip dinner and eat at night when no one was around.

'Yeah, sounds like a solid plan. I guess I will play games until them.'
