Myths Reawakened

Wayne’s Residence, night.

Vera hummed as she passed the study, but when she reached the end of the hallway, she tiptoed back and plastered herself against the door, holding her breath while eavesdropping. There was no soundproofing barrier in place, so she could clearly hear the sounds of tutoring and discussion inside.

It was all very proper, no moaning or groaning.

Vera frowned in confusion. Her instinct told her that something was seriously wrong with Senior Kristen lately, but her multiple investigations never yielded anything unusual.

It couldn’t be right! Perhaps Senior Kristen was a good girl who neither competed nor fought for anything, but she was beautiful and didn’t know how to say no. With them spending so much time together every day, it didn’t make sense that Wayne wouldn’t have made a move on her.

I’m definitely missing something!

Vera decided to listen longer. The moment she found evidence, she would immediately report to Veronica. With the two strong contenders clashing, she would reap the benefits in the end.

That was when footsteps came from the staircase. Veryl approached with a smile and stopped at the hallway corner, quietly watching Vera as she crouched against the door to eavesdrop. She smiled awkwardly, pointing at the room and making two gestures before quickly fleeing. Veryl shook his head, still smiling. Now that he had done his job, he returned to the first floor.

Inside the study, the respectful student had pinned the tutor against the textbook, traversing the mountains and valley to express his yearning.

Kristen was both amused and exasperated. Pushing the pervert’s face away from her chest, she pointed at the door. “Why didn’t you want Vera to hear? Do you have plans for her, too?”

As expected of Senior Kristen, she’s quick.

Wayne shook his head with a serious expression. “You misunderstood, Kristen. Even a blind person could tell that it was Vera who had plans for me. If not for my impressive self-control, she would’ve taken my first kiss instead of you.”
