Harem Stealer: Reborn with the God-Tier Sharing System - Chapter 54

54: Chapter 54: Zara & Alice 54: Chapter 54: Zara & Alice Chapter 54 – Duel of Pain and Affection A month later- A full month had passed since that night.

A night where many things changed.

The battle for the throne had officially begun.

Sophie was doing everything she could to surpass her dear brothers, and the factions were already forming.

On one side stood Isac and Albert-backed by none other than Elijah.

With just his presence, dozens of talented students rallied to their cause.

They arrogantly called their faction The Fated Ruler, and it quickly grew into a powerful force within the academy, its influence spreading like wildfire.

But Sophie was far from alone.

Her support?

Surprisingly impressive.

Malrik.

Rouge.

Aiden.

Patricia.

And of course, Anya and Yuki.

All of them were on her side.

Thanks to Noah.

He’d worked tirelessly behind the scenes, earning the loyalty of these geniuses.

For Aiden and Patricia, all it took was a promise-vengeance.

A chance to pay back what was owed.

For Rouge?

A different approach.

He promised her daily battles-and that he’d personally join some of them.

That bloodthirsty girl accepted immediately, grinning like a lunatic.

As for Malrik?

He didn’t care.

If Rouge joined, so did he.

For a necromancer and heir of death, the guy was surprisingly soft.

Lucky for Noah.

Anya?

That one was even easier.

With a gentle demeanor, a few kind gestures, and genuine concern for her wellbeing, her affection had already reached over 70%-making her a viable bond candidate.

But the real surprise?

Yuki.

That sword-obsessed freak had an affection score of 80%.

Even Noah was shocked.

Yuki had suddenly become extremely affectionate-hugging him, holding his hand, always sitting next to him.

At first, it felt awkward.

But Noah, being Noah, wouldn’t let such an opportunity pass.

So he gave it his all.

He spoiled her relentlessly-daily hugs, a kiss on the forehead, checking what she ate, asking if she slept well, showering her with constant attention.

All in the name of friendship.

Very convenient.

And Yuki?

She believed it.

But as time passed… her feelings began to shift.

They became heavy.

Too heavy.

She started to glare at any girl who dared approach him.

Even Sophie wasn’t spared.

A fight almost broke out.

Noah had to scold them both to restore peace.

But the damage was done.

Yuki had become possessive.

Jealous.

Dangerous.

To her, Noah was hers.

Her one and only best friend.

No one else could have him.

One poor first-year girl had made the mistake of confessing her feelings for Noah.

The next morning, she was found in the training field-bruised and cut, covered in sword marks.

Yuki, of course, played innocent.

Her orange eyes looked at Noah as if shocked-how could her best friend accuse her of such a thing?

Certified Yandere.

That’s what she’d become.

But Noah liked to see the silver lining in every situation.

And what was the silver lining here?

He could share Yuki’s talents and affinities with himself.

That alone made it worth the psychological risk.

As for Elizabeth?

Well… she was living a nightmare.

Leona was terrifying.

For a month straight, Elizabeth hadn’t been able to spend more than a few seconds near Elijah.

Every time she got close, Leona would yank him away.

Naturally, she tried to remove Leona several times.

But with Noah’s Limitlessness Aura protecting her, Elizabeth was completely powerless.

Watching Elizabeth slowly lose her sanity became a daily show.

Noah enjoyed every moment.

After all, she had dared reject his offer.

This was just karma.

And now?

Noah stood before the Student Council President and the Vice President, preparing to make his faction official in the eyes of the academy.

… Two beautiful women faced him.

One with striking green hair, piercing green eyes, and a tall, elegant figure.

Glasses perched on her nose added to her dignified aura.

Alice Evergreen, the Student Council President.

Once infamous for her monstrous talent-until Noah and Elijah arrived.

Beside her sat a girl with blue hair and pitch-black eyes-so dark they looked like voids.

Her cold demeanor clashed with the gentle affection she gave the black cat curled up on her lap.

Yes, our dear Neko.

Sitting calmly on the lap of Zara Bane, the Vice President.

“So, you’re Noah Weaverheart,” Zara said.

“Yes.

A pleasure to meet you,” Noah replied with a polite bow and charming smile.

“I’m here to make my faction official.

I’ve fulfilled all the requirements-I just need your signatures.” Alice remained silent.

Only Zara spoke.

“You’re rushing things,” she said, standing slowly.

Her tone turned teasing, almost mocking.

“We need to make sure the faction leader is actually competent, right?” Noah’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“That’s not one of the stated conditions.” “I just made it up.

Problem with that?” Noah said nothing.

“Good.

Then win, Mister Prodigy.

But if you lose…” Zara’s playful look vanished.

Her gaze hardened-like she was discussing something deadly serious.

“Neko stays with me.

You’ll break your soul contract with her and hand her over.” Noah blinked.

Ah, fuck.

Should’ve seen this coming.

Cat obsession confirmed.

He glanced at Neko, who sat helplessly in Zara’s lap.

Noah sighed.

Truly a bother… Still, her attachment to Neko was a good thing.

It meant Zara wasn’t all cold logic.

There was sentiment underneath.

See?

Always look for the positive.

A classic Noah philosophy.

“Fine,” he said.

“And if I win?” Alice gave him a strange look-like she couldn’t believe he dared to ask that.

Zara chuckled.

“Anything you want.” She said it simply-because she was confident.

She’d seen his fights.

She had a good grasp of his level.

Or so she thought.

Even if Noah had grown over the month, she believed she had too.

There was no way he had caught up.

What a mistake.

Noah’s past month had been… intense.

His master’s training was brutal-but rewarding.

He had gained space and time skills.

His soul manipulation had evolved.

To compare today’s Noah to the one from a month ago?

A fatal mistake.

“Alice, you’ll be the arbiter,” Zara said.

Alice nodded silently.

Zara gently set down Neko, whispering to her, “Wait for me.

I’ll beat your old master and become your new one.

Then we can be together again, okay?” She didn’t wait for a response.

She stood across from Noah, her eyes gleaming.

“Ready?” “Yes,” Noah said calmly.

Alice raised her hand-and brought it down.

The duel began.

Zara acted instantly.

She locked eyes with Noah.

“Pain.” -Shudder- Noah’s senses exploded.

Pain.

Mental.

Physical.

Emotional.

Soul-deep agony.

It was overwhelming-like being torn apart from every direction.

His knees buckled.

His Limitlessness Aura kicked in, lessening the blow just enough to keep him conscious.

But before he could even catch his breath- Zara was in front of him.

Her hand touched his forehead.

She grinned.

“Fear.” -End of Chapter 54-
