Chapter 580 [580] Ah, Of course.
I met up with Elaine in the cafeteria, She was sitting along with Sabrina, and as much as I would have preferred to keep her out of this, Elaine didn't budge from her spot, clinging to Sabrina. Gẹtt the latest novels at n.o/(v)/e/l/bin(.)com
She looked at me, or should I say glared at me?
Amused, I thought.
'So she is in on this...'
[Supreme Dragon of Frost, Lanesha advises you not to jump to conclusions.]
'Yeah, yeah, I know.'
I shrugged off Lanesha's advice, and sat down next to Sabrina, and opposite to Elaine. The constant looks she has been giving me were noticed by Sabrina long ago, therefore she asked me through the astral bond.
[Is there something I don't know about going on?]
[Nope.]
I answered with a jovial attitude, I looked Elaine dead in the eyes, and rested my chin on the back of my hands and asked.
"So, would you mind giving an explanation?"
I knew this wouldn't be enough to force her to say something...but that wasn't what I was aiming for. Despite me shrugging off Lanesha's advice, I knew it was still better to trust it. Therefore, what I said was simply to see how she would react.
And I was right. Although her face didn't change, many other things. Her eyebrows raised slightly, but retreated to their original position soon after, she kept a poker face and continued to look at me with a confused expression.
Ha. With my hearing, I could sense her heartbeat going up when I asked her for an explanation, she couldn't hide it from a dragon, how restless she was on the inside.
[Supreme dragon of Frost, Lanesha says that something is strange.]
I stopped for a bit, thinking about what Lanesha said... Strange? Yeah, I guess she is right. Elaine isn't the type to partake in these kinds of things. If she was, Sabrina and her would have never gotten along...
Fuck that, Elaine is the type to oppose these kinds of things... Therefore, her doing this itself is suspicious... Is there an outside influence like I had expected? Or am I missing something else, something crucial?
[...be careful.]
'Oh yes, I will be.'
"Well, you are right."
I agreed with her, there is truly nothing I or Kazikato can do against the others. I am a second year, and Kazikato is the first ranked year, None of us can interfere unless the other students interfere first... But if that is what she is thinking, then she is wrong.
Elaine is behind this, with the possibility of it being Henry ruled out, and Catherine being unlikely to do such a thing, with how it would impact her dear aunt later on... The only one left is her...
And with her reactions, it's clear she is the one behind it. No doubt about that in my mind...although I do wonder why...she is very wrong if she thinks I can't do anything about it.
"You are right...but will you remind me what our ranks are? Us second-years, of course."
Her eyes widened, and she glared at me, Sabrina's eyes also widened, and she muttered.
"Right...you're not ranked first anymore..."
Due to my poor performance and atrocious attendance, my rank number 1 did not carry on to the second year... Therefore, I can do something to Elaine, who is ranked above me right now.
All those with a higher rank are forbidden to mess with the ones of lower rank...because it is obvious they are weaker than them...haha! But it's wrong in this scenario! I have every right to challenge her or bother her! Because I am of lower rank...right now.
"Whatever they are doing to my guild mates... I'll do it to you."
She slammed her fist onto the table. And cursed.
"You wouldn't dare..."
I stopped joking, and released the intent to kill and threatened her with a smile on my face.
"Please be ready for a duel when it's time...and special events until that time comes."
It's up to you, either you stop them or I stop you.
[Supreme Dragon of Frost, Lanesha comments that this is quite unlike a dragon.]
