Chapter 46 The Stupidity In Being Paired

"Is anyone interested in the spell used to make Mr Gaviel's glasses disappear?" She asked with a nervous chuckle, scratching the side of her head.

"We could always learn that with enough practice, but we wouldn't get enough time to speak about this." The same female spoke.

Gia looked around at the others, hoping they didn't share the same sentiment.

They all nodded their heads, their eyes big and curious.

"It's nothing special, it's just a simple magic circle with common arrays. Besides, I wasn't in the right state of mind there." She explained, waving her hands frantically in front of her.

"But you were the one that was selected out of the lots of us." A male persisted, his eyes sparkling in interest.

'You dimwit! You all know this, what else do you want to hear?' She yelled in her head, but outwards she put on a smile, sweat dropping at how persistent they were.

They weren't really interested in how she had done it, but rather were trying to find a loophole and link her actions as having some sort of feeling towards him.

"Are you interested in Nix? You two seemed close after he had returned from Zoar."

Her head turned to her right, the person who had spoken was a male who has light green hair parted to the right that doesn't reach his eyes. Having light yellow eyes with prominent lower eyelashes.

She internally facepalmed at the obvious turn of events, this was the question they had actually wanted to ask for a while now.

She couldn't necessarily deny as she did feel some sort of connection towards him. His cool and aloof personality was the first that had drawn her attention, not mentioning his unique and endearing looks.

If she were to deny that she had no feelings for him, then her chances were sure to go down the drain. If she were to voice out her interest, she might be ridiculed or seen as a threat by other females.

She had lived a quiet life while moving up her rank in her magic practice in the academy. It wasn't until that day she had been randomly selected to summon Nix to Zoar, did she start to see a turn of events in her life.

Mr Gaviel had never really paid attention to her before, nor had she told him about her practice, but it did seem that they had their eyes on her now.

'Someone, please help me out of here.' Her thoughts screamed, hoping there was at least one person who was interested in her abilities instead.

"It's Nix!" She could hear someone whisper to another.

Looking at the window, she could see Nix casually walking down the hallways.

Their main focus being on Nix, with curious gaze, their eyes locked on his every movement.

Taking long strides, he finally came into view, coming into their classroom. The others immediately dispersed, allowing him access to their classroom.

"Welcome to magic class B." A female said in a squeaky voice, conjuring up confetti, throwing it in the air.

Nix paused the moment the tiny strips of coloured paper touched his body. His brows twitched in annoyance at what he had to endure.

The female began to have a rethink on her choice of introduction to their class. Antipathy seething off him, causing her to back away gradually.

Deeming the right thing to do was tocorrect her mistake by cleaning up the mess she had made, she summoned the courage to approach him cautiously.

"I'm so sorry!" Her voice quaked with fear, trying her best to dust off the paper from his shoulders, then his hair.

Immediately sensing his aura had instilled fear into this female, he was determined to stir it in a different direction. He wasn't here to trample on anyone, but in search of someone.

Nix raised his hands to stop her before she made any attempts. "It's fine, it's just a mere piece of paper, it isn't something that could kill me." He laughed it off, brushing it off himself.

He wouldn't let any female lay their hands on him just yet.

The female's fear was replaced with awe instantly. Her admiration for him had just shot up the roof with his actions.

"Why is he here?" He could hear whispers behind him.

"Wasn't he on a week of sick leave, specially directed by the higher ups?"

"Did he come for Gia? Does this mean they are a couple?" A female said to another a little too loudly. Her voice was laced with jealousy.

"Shhh! I think he heard you." Someone knocked the head of the female.

Nix had a blank expression, he was still fixated to a spot as he took in all they had said. He could finally see why the mission had told him to get to class 7 and make a bond with someone he could definitely gain from.

While he was at it, he made do with the daily quest he had been given.

[Walking: 5/5km]

[Visualization: 10/10 views]

He had made sure to take in the hallways as his next main focus for the day.

His plan was simple, once he was able to take in all the places in the academy, he would be able to draw a detailed map which could give him a live feed on what was going on in the academy.

'My very own CCTV!'

Saving up his points was another bonus for him, there was no use leveling up for the time being. The burden of the rewards also scared him from leveling up, only when necessary would he attempt to use his points.

'Who knows, I might be forced to use the points for another goddamn stuff Mune might suggest.' He grimaced.

[Successful quest completion, you have a total of 2357 points earned]

Ignoring the notification, he looked around the class, he had been so curious as to who he would be given to bond with that he had left his humble dormitory and went in search of class 7.

'Couple?' He internally laughed at the stupidity of the word. It hadn't even been up to a week he had gotten to the academy, and yet he is already being paired with someone.

"Typical!" He mumbled at the one thing that never changes anywhere–rumors.

The fact that he was paired with someone made him all the more curious to know who this Gia was, he wondered if she was the one who had spread the lies or if she was the one the system had said he would bond with.

'Gia, Gia, Gia!' He repeated in his mind as his eyes glanced around the students for anyone who looked suspicious.
