Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Serafina Lawrence.

On the not too crowded road in the central district, a luxurious black limousine slowly rode the street while inviting some attention from the onlookers. The inside the car, there is a cozy and warm ambiance mixed together to create comfort for Soma and Lawrence, who sat side by side on the same seat.

The soft light filters through the transparent window, casting a gentle shadow across the interior. The atmosphere inside the car was serene, with no unnecessary banter when Soma and Lawrence were submerged in their own world.

Soma, who cast his gaze outside, looking at the morning view beyond the glass. His gaze shifted as he witnessed the faint image of beauty with a pair of black eyes was staring at him. Unwillingly, he turned his gaze to face Lawrence, who greeted him with a soft smile while basking in the light from the sun, making the scene more picturesque.

"You look good in that uniform".

The outfit that Soma wore was currently the uniform that Lawrence somehow prepared. The uniform of the Academy consists of a black blazer, a white shirt inside, and a red tie that coiled on his collar. For the lower part, it was plain long black pants and a pair of leather shoes, which were also being prepared by Lawrence.

He felt greatly indebted to the things she gave and the things she had done for him.

"Thank you for the uniform. I didn't know you were a student in the Hero Academy though?".

Soma also cast his gaze toward Lawrence while also putting on the same type of uniform for female students. Lawrence shifted her gaze to her uniform while checking her appearance, then pinched her skirt, making Soma throw his gaze to the front.

Seeing his flustered reaction inflict a teaser side from within her. Lawrence's lips curve as she closed the distance with him. A floral scent that always came from her body, roused the male instinct that made him uncomfortable.

"How was your feeling about entering the Academy?".

"...My feelings".

There is a slight pause, which makes Soma start to wander. He never thought it through at first. He just wanted to gain the power to get stronger and Soma knew the Academy was the place that fit for it. However, after some things happened, he became uncertain about whether the choice he made was truly his own or some being pulling some string from above.

The thoughts was always swirling in his minf. However, no matter what it is. What Soma could do for now was to let him follow the stream and try to break every obstacle that stood in his way.

"Soma?".

"Ah, yes, I am sorry. My feeling, huh. I am perfectly fine".

"Hmmm, well let's put that aside, have you already decided which class you would… Oops, forget what I said. I think you should decide that for yourself".

Lawrence covers her lips with her tiny finger while stretching her lips. Soma, who saw her figure, shrugged his shoulders and then cast his gaze to the outside. About the things she said earlier, he knows what that is. But for now, he must finish the long, boring Ceremony first.

While looking outside, he felt a slight tug on his left shoulder, bringing his face to the side. Then, with a slight poke on his left cheek, Lawrence showed her white teeth and began to play pranks on him, poking his cheek.

"Ne, Soma?...".

"...What is it?".

That night, they spent their night together chatting while Soma was having a meal. Their distance seems shortened, albeit slightly. However, the one who felt their distance closer was Lawrence, for she was always starting to cling to him and was the only one who always started to talk to get his attention. Although, Soma felt there was something hidden behind her facade.

Also, the fact that she was not included in the story, making him worry about her true nature and traits.

"I don't know, tell me something funny!".

"I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am not a comedian who could crack a spontaneous joke to please a young lady like you".

"Ufufu, again, with your formal speech. I said you could just call me by name. Okay, then forget about comedy. Just call my name!".

Lawrence started to aggressively approach him, making Soma cornered as he pressed his body in the body car and sigh. He turned his gaze to the side and met her bewitching face that drew on any men near her. But that won't work on Soma, and if he keeps ignoring her, she will pester him until she is satisfied.

"...Serafina".

"Sera!".

"... Sera".

"What is it, Soma?".

A gentle curve slightly appeared on her glossy lips, giving her a nuance of a mature vibe like a gentle moon that basked its serene glow in the night, mixed with the filtered sun from the window that made Soma's heart flutter.

If not for the skill Soma had. His face would already burst into flames for the distance and the destructive smile she had. The two of them start to slightly distance themselves from each other while Serafina begins her relentless approach, talking about random things.

Time passed as Serafina was enjoying her one-sided talk with Soma. The car, which maintained its constant speed, finally slowed down before it stopped completely in front of a fortress that stood imposingly in the middle of the district.

The driver in front swiftly used the hand-brake function to make the car stay in place. Then, he opened the door and hastened his pace to approach the passenger door where Serafina was. With a faint clock the passenger door opened, and the middle-age man in a black suit opened his mouth.

"We have arrived, My lady".

"Thank you. Let's go, Soma".

Soma nodded his head, then stretched his right leg, before putting it on the ground. After he stood beside the car, the warm light from the sun that hit his skin gave him energy to start the day, and the warm breeze caressed his skin, blowing away the tiredness because of the constant tease and approached from Serafina sapping his mental health.

"Thank you, sir".

Forgetting something, Soma turns his gaze toward the man in a black suit before he gives the man a bow, to which the man replies with a smile and nods.

"Good job, Alan. Please take care of the place".

"As you wish, My lady".

Like a Princess in a fairy tale, Serafina elegantly stepped out from the limousine, which made the passerby drawn to her gesture. She ignored those admired gazes directed at her, then turned her gaze to Soma, giving him her usual enchanting smile.

"Soma, I have some business to attend to. I am afraid it seems this is our farewell for a while. I hope we can meet again later. Have fun in the Academy".

"...Thank you, Sera. This debt, I will certainly repay it".

"Ufufu, what are you talking about? Don't stand here all day. You will be late to the ceremony, so hurry up and go".

Soma nodded his head, then moved his feet, walking away from Serafina's side, who watched his back until it was far away.

"My lady, you seem rather fond of that boy?".

Alan, as one of her longest employees, knows some of her nature, which he found amusing. Because if his current boss approached someone willingly, that means she has taken a liking to that person or.

"What do you want to say, Alan?".

Serafina, who seemed to understand what had flashed upon her subordinates' minds, leaked her rigid tone, making Alan lower his gaze.

"I am sorry for my impudence, My lady".

She exhaled a sigh and then threw her gaze to the figure of Soma, who already stepped his feet past the gate. The bright personality she showed to him earlier, her lovely face turned stiff, and her other personality took place.
