Chapter 47 - 7.9 : Date Schedule and a Dark Aura
The evening sky glowed orange. Students began leaving school one by one. The atmosphere was calm and quiet. Al walked out of the empty classroom, stretching and letting out a big yawn.
"Huuaahh... finally... free from that noisy world."
He strolled casually toward the school gate. But before he could pass through, someone shouted—
"Oiii! You there!!"
Al stopped. He turned and saw a girl with glasses, looking serious—but with curious eyes sparkling: it was Dila.
"You’re that student named Al, right?!"
Al said nothing. Internally: I thought I was in the clear... and yet, here comes trouble.
Dila quickly approached, notebook dangling from her neck already open like a makeshift reporter.
"You’re the top scorer in the tryouts, right? I’m Dila. I’ve never seen you before. They say you’re from the day class? They say you’re on a scholarship? They say you’re also the assistant to the CEO of Virellano Group? And they say you—" "They say you... you also... you... you—?"
Al squinted. He hadn’t answered a single question.
A barrage of questions from a bookworm... aimed at a lazy student. The most absurd combination in HIHS history.
"Stop, stop... way too many questions. Sorry, I’m in a hurry."
