Chapter 9 - 1.7 - Crimson Academy - Let's the cliche begin!



Bing Shi was lying on the couch, reading a novel on her phone, her legs were placed on Mr. Jelly's laps. "Would you kill somebody for me?" she asked curiously.

Mr. Jelly's eyes switched from his tablet to the pair of slender legs. Scratching them lightly, he answered, "I wouldn't kill people even if it was allowed by law."

She laughed when she felt a rising bulge under her calves, moving her legs in teasing, "Did you just get hard?!"

He looked at her pitifully, putting more pressure on her legs for additional sensation, "Bing Shi...It's your fault. This happened because your pretty legs are a little bit heavy."

"I think so too," she agreed with a giggle, "Killing people is a big no-no." She put her phone on the coffee table and moved herself to a sitting position, her feet poking at his bulge. "Would you kill yourself for me?" she asked suggestively. As she was waiting for his answer, she massaged him over the pants.

"Uggh...I would," he groaned, clasping her chin, leaning over for a kiss.

....

░Hm? Did I just have a wet dream?░

Yawning, Olivia opened one eye, asking her system for the time.

❰ The school is starting soon, Host.❱

❝Yay~ School... Let's hurry. We should prepare some barfing bags along the way!❞

Getting off the bed, she went to the bathroom to wash up.

❰ Barfing bags?❱

❝Because the original story begins! Hm, but why do I feel like Ailstar is colder than he should be? Did I raise the difficulty? No kidding!❞囧

❰...❱

Changing into her uniform, she skipped breakfast and went straight for the main doors. Before she could leave, she was stopped by her sister's voice.

"Where are you going so soon?" Grace asked.

"School?" answered Olivia, ignoring Grace's questioning look, "I should be the one to ask. Isn't Mark picking you up today? I have to go, have a happy date sister!" She rushed out of the door, not forgetting to check if it is closed.

Grace blushed, "You..."

When everyone was preparing for the graduation, Olivia, on the other hand, was preparing for the first meeting between Ailstar and Alisa. In the story, the heroine would meet Ailstar during his speech.

But just to make sure the heroine was better suited for the current male lead, she portrayed herself as a good person, giving Alisa's family a helping hand. The thing she had the most was money — she paid off their debt.

As the saying goes, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. And so, Olivia gave Alisa a restaurant!

░Better to start soon and big!░

Now, she was their savior.

░I feel bad for them... but not so much~.░

As soon as Olivia arrived before a humble restaurant, she let her chauffeur go inside.

Soon after, the heroine arrived. A cool beauty with long, light brown hair and hazelnut eyes, she gave off an aura of a warrior that was ready to fight. "Miss Olivia, good morning. What are you doing here if I may ask?" asked Alisa as she stepped inside the car.

"Morning," Olivia waved at Alisa, "I'm here to pick you up."

"I could go by bus."

"It's going to be late. Hurry, or we'll be late too," Olivia rushed her with her hands.

"Then, wait for me a bit," Alisa went back to the restaurant, took her bag, and came back, without questioning how Olivia knew about the bus being late.

To pay back Olivia's favor, Alisa had to take part in managing the restaurant, as per Olivia's wish. She continued to be a cheerful and hardworking girl, just a bit more mature now. While she was working in a restaurant, she had to learn how to accept that not everyone was a good person, sometimes there were perverts, sometimes there were unreasonable customers.

On their way to school, Olivia glanced at Alisa, "How is the restaurant going?"

"It's going well. There is good traffic around," answered Alisa.

"It can do better. If you work hard, it can even become an Empire. You'll be richer than ever before!" Olivia encouraged her with a grin.

"Yes! Why are you helping us so much?" asked Alisa.

Olivia smiled at her mysteriously, "Because... I want you to beat somebody."

"Who? Can't you do it yourself? You are so powerful," said Alisa, tilting her head, she didn't understand Olivia's words.

░Is she serious? 囧░

"Ailstar Dalton. If you beat him, your debts are immediately cleared," answered Olivia.

"Did he do something to you?" asked Alisa.

"No, I just want a little revenge for what he did. He broke my sister's heart, his ex-fiance." The mysterious aura was gone, the moment Olivia started to giggle, "Don't worry. She is happy now, because she stole his best friend, isn't that cool?"

"Why me?" Alisa looked at Olivia, her eyes widening.

"Aren't you a scholar student at our school, the one and only? That's why."

"I'll try my best!" Alisa cheered herself.

Olivia showed her a handwarmer, "Be careful around him, always bring a hand warmer with you. Here, I got one for you."

"Handwarmer?" asked Alisa doubtfully.

Olivia tried to scare Alisa by changing her voice, similar to a dreadful ghost's. "Because he would freeze you if you don't bring it with you." A pity that it didn't sound convincing enough, more like a cheap attempt for a poor joke.

"..." Alisa accepted the hand warmer, giggling, not knowing if she should believe Olivia's words.

Olivia laughed at her own performance, "I was joking. Don't take it seriously. He would freeze you even with the hand warmer. Better bring a coat with you, haha."

"You are scaring me, Miss Olivia." Alisa clutched the hand warmer; she didn't want to disappoint her benefactor, whose jokes should not be taken lightly.

Olivia grinned successfully, observing Alisa's determination, "It's ok. Even if he is scary, he is still a person shackled by the law. He won't do anything to you but beware of his fans. Those are the dangerous ones."

"..." Alisa went silent. She looked out of the car window. Now, she had a huge task. Not only did Olivia paid off their debts, but she also helped her grow up as a person.

Both arrived at school on time. There were students everywhere, due to the chaos not many people noticed a cute girl and a cool beauty stepping out of the car.

"Now, you're on your own. Go to the hall and try not to get lost. Message me if you need help with anything. Don't forget, at school, we're strangers," said Olivia, leaving Alisa by herself.

Heeding to Olivia's orders, Alisa followed the kids with a tie color similar to hers. When she arrived at the hall, she chose an empty seat.

During the school anthem, the teacher started reading the names of new students. Three people caught the most attention, Grace Bacchus, Mark Foster, and finally, Ailstar Dalton.

After the principal's speech, it was Ailstar turn to make an oath. He became the representative due to his remarkable grades, also the first one who was chosen as a powerful student council president. Never before was there a first-year student, who could occupy that spot. Walking up the stairs, he gave out a chilling aura of a cold winter night.

'So he is Ailstar Dalton?' Thought Alisa to herself, her heart started thumping. 'He really can catch your heart without even asking for permission and not giving it back. Truly a cold tyrant.'

Alisa was fl.u.s.tered that she, too, reacted. Even though she prepared herself, she was still not strong enough. She looked at his features, his aura, brainwashing herself, that he was a person and not a magical creature of seduction.

If it were the Alisa before, she would be late for the ceremony, catching unnecessary attention from the whole school. This time, she caught only his attention, Ailstar Dalton's.

While Ailstar was giving out the oath, he felt a burning gaze on him, different from others. There she was, looking at him with her fiery eyes as if challenging him for a fight like a warrior.

"..." Without thinking much, he ignored her and continued with his oath.

"Kyaa~Kyaaaa~ Did you see that? He was looking this way! Oh my god, hold me. I think I am going to faint.", "I think he was looking at me. His gaze was so hot.", "What're you talking about, of course, he was looking at me! He is so cool!"

Listening to all the loud fangirls, Alisa got goosebumps. 'Miss Olivia was right. These fans are far more dangerous.' They even created a fan club and followed him everywhere, from afar, of course. They would not dare to go near him.

After the ceremony, all the freshmen were led to the classes by their homeroom teachers.

Alisa was in the same class as the three most famous people. As she was going to sit at her arranged seat, which was in the last row in the middle, someone kicked her chair. Stumbling on her buttock, Alisa looked up and saw a girl alike to miss Olivia.

"Crazy fox! What are you doing!" shouted Mark at Grace.

"I don't know! My leg moved on its own!" Grace shrugged her shoulders. Since she was dating Mark, she didn't have to hide behind her fake innocent self. So without thinking, she did that in the open, before everyone's eyes.

"Apologize to her!" Mark demanded.

"Not apologizing," Grace refused in a bad mood.

"I'm sorry for my girlfriend's behavior. She is a bit moody. Maybe she is jealous of your beauty. As an apology, why don't we invite you to lunch?" smiled Mark at Alisa with his gentleman's behavior, a knight in shining armor to the rescue.

"Why are you flirting with her, you cheap stalker!" Grace shouted at Mark. After that, she ran out of the classroom.

"Sorry again," Mark said to Alisa and ran after Grace.

"Never mind," said Alisa, her eyes wide in bewilderment. 'So childish.'

The whole classroom sighed together with the teacher, too used to the couple's bickering. Even though Mark and Grace fought a lot, they never broke up.

Suddenly, Alisa felt cold. Looking up, a male student sat down next to her left. Feeling his gaze on her, she quickly stood up and sat at her seat. When she peeked at him, he was already looking out of the window with an empty expression. He fully ignored the commotion caused by Mark and Grace, as if he was not part of this world.

Ailstar Dalton, her rival.

░Now lets the Butterfly effect to take its course.░

❝System, I want some salted popcorn, thank you! I am a bit worried about our heroine. This Ailstar is a bit strange...ha...ha..❞
