Jake gritted his teeth and strode out of the library. It was only after he disappeared from view that her red eye lost its glow. Amy, who staggered for a moment, rubbed her eyes and muttered.

�So annoying. What a snob.�

Instead of being able to go back to her room to rest, she had to instead waste her time arguing with a bastard. That fact was unbearably irritating to her because she knew that once enough time had passed, they would resort to the same underhanded tricks again.

She could not understand why all the guys clinging to her were all so equally despicable like that trash. She wondered if there was something wrong with her personality.

A short laugh escaped from Amy.

�Well, it�s true that there�s something wrong with it.�

Amy suddenly felt sorry for Sirone.

Shirone, who had finally managed to escape Amy�s clutches, was happy. Studying became more enjoyable when he realized how precious that 1 hour Amy took away was.

He had to suffer from people�s attention thanks to the scandal with a girl from the academy who was known to have the highest standards, but no one cared as much in the library. Their eagerness to study was the driving force behind why the Alpheus Magic Academy was in the top 5.

Finished with today�s classes, Shirone was on his way to the library while humming a tune. Then he saw a familiar face near the instructor�s lodging.

It was Amy�s friend, Sharelle Portrisse. Shirone turned to the sight of her wandering around restlessly as if she was in a hurry to the bathroom.

Although they were only at a stage where they would greet each other during the integrated class, he personally found her amiable. Unlike Amy, who growled whenever he was in sight, she would always give words of support. Though, he still hasn�t figured out what she was rooting for.

When Sharelle found Shirone walking towards her, her eyes widened. Then her face turned pale and she started running to him.

�Hel��

�Hey! What are you doing here right now?�

Sharelle grabbed Shirone by the collar and shook him.�

�Why are you here? If I knew about this, I wouldn�t have sent Amy away!�

Shirone tilted his head. She should know that he goes straight to the library after class.

�What�s going on? You have to tell me so I know.�

�Read this! Did nothing really happen to you?�

Sharelle held out a crumpled paper. Shirone took it silently and unfolded it. It was a short warning message sent by a sender named Black Magician.

30 minutes ago.

A guy blocked Amy and Sharelle�s path as they were on their way to the library.

He was a Class 5 student who was held back for a long time and was currently over the age of 23. A year ago, they knew his name because he was in the same class, but they never had a conversation with him because he had a sly personality.

�Hello, I see that you�re still on the roll.�

Amy snorted along at the way he cunningly came up to her in a polite manner.

�Get out of my way. I�m busy. I have nothing to say to you.�

�Ah, you can�t be like that. I was once your classmate, but can�t you give me some of your time?�

�Am I the only classmate you have? There should be at least a few hundred other students who have gone through Class 5, so search for another.� JrNovels.com
