Chapter 243: Shy boy

"Iinuma-kun, which school did you come from?"

"What's your favorite food, Iinuma-kun?"

"Why did you choose this school, Iinuma-kun?"

If Isao were a normal transfer student, his new classmates would probably ask such questions, but unfortunately, while he tried to be normal, he couldn't.

"Are you single, Iinuma-kun?"

"Do you have a girlfriend, Iinuma-kun?"

"What about a man? Do you like men?"

"....."

For the last person, Isao was going to put this guy on a blacklist.

Nevertheless, as soon as the break started, he was surrounded and bombarded by many questions. If it was a normal situation, he should be able to handle it well, but he knew that this wasn't a normal situation. Their eyes were strange, appearing so perverted, and he could tell their intents, who even wished to lick his feet if they were allowed to.

Unfortunately, he wasn't such a pervert, and he didn't have any intention to wake up such a fetish either.

So, at that moment, he knew that he had to get help.

Glancing around, he met an acquaintance, his only savior.

'Help me...'

Even if he didn't say anything, he was sure that she would notice his message.

As expected, when their eyes met, Stella naturally understood his message, and she also understood the peril he encountered, especially with the number of people that surrounded him.

To be honest, Stella didn't really think about approaching him. Frankly, this wasn't her character, who was bold and also kind, especially when she met someone who had saved her in the past.

If it was before, she would have come to him boldly without caring about anything, but now, it was different, especially when she had to take care of the fragile heart of the person with whom she had been supposed to fall in love.

When Stella thought of Ikki, she couldn't help but sigh, wondering why everything had become so messed up like this. Even now, they still had conflicts with each other, and she didn't like this, but the two of them didn't have any experience in making up to each other, and the rest of the people around them were also quite awkward at giving advice at relationships, so nothing went well.

Even worse, there was Ikki's little sister, who had always caused her trouble, provoking her as if she was supposed to be Ikki's bitch, who would follow Ikki like a puppy.

Yes, she might have fallen for Ikki, but there was also a limit. How could she lose her sense of being an individual due to love?

As for her relationship with Isao, while she wanted to talk with him, she didn't want to hurt Ikki, so she endured her desire to do so, but when their eyes met, she couldn't stop her urge anymore.

When their eyes met, unlike his usual heroic and brave figure, he appeared a little pathetic, awkward, and clearly troubled by all the people who surrounded him.

If she left him alone... then no one knew what would happen, especially when there was also some homo joined within that group.

In other words, she felt like she had to save him!

At the same time, Stella also didn't like these wavering and hesitant feelings. Yes, she was worried about Ikki, and she might have fallen for him, but even so, they hadn't dated yet. Moreover, as the princess of the Vermillion Kingdom, how could she ignore her savior, who was in need of her help?

"By the way, when we met again, you told me that you were going to tell me your power, right?" Stella suddenly asked.

"Ah, did I say that before?"

"You did! Don't lie!"

"I never lied. I forgot, okay?"

"...forgot..." Stella felt a bit hurt, but she asked helplessly, "So what's your power?"

"What's your power first?"

"...you don't know?"

"Should I know?"

"...."

Stella's lips twitched since she knew that everyone in the world should have known about her power.

"Manipulation concept of the dragon. That's my power," Stella said with quite a proud tone.

"Really?"

"Yes." Stella nodded and asked with a doubt, "Are you doubting me?"

Isao nodded. "I thought your power was a flame manipulation since you mostly used a flame instead of your dragon concept manipulation."

"...."

Stella fell in silence as she touched her forehead. "It seems... you are right." She recalled that she had only been using a flame even though her power should allow her to do more things, which was practically wasting the potential of her power.

Taking a deep breath, she looked at Isao and thanked him. "Thank you."

"Why did you thank me?" Isao asked Stella strangely.

"Because...."

However, before she finished her words, she suddenly felt danger since, from behind, someone suddenly came and was ready to stab a sharp weapon into her skull silently.

"Shizuku!"

Everyone was startled by this sudden act, and no one could react.

Even Stella was dumbfounded and only realized that she was in danger after hearing the shout, but before this person succeeded in attacking her, Isao grabbed the head of the attacker smoothly and smashed this person onto the table in the cafeteria directly.

Crack!

The table was smashed, and the skull of this person was slammed into the ground directly, causing the tiles to be destroyed.

Bang!

"...."
