Chapter 313: New Intakes
[Styxwatcher’s Discernment has detected a lie: Rose Snow took on the job to prevent the government from meddling in the user’s life.]

Mark blinked in shock.

“Wait, you came here because you want to protect me?”

The way Mark said it made it sound very intimate, and Luna’s eyes widened slightly in surprise as Mark laid out her intentions in such a casual way. She couldn’t stop her blush as she looked away.

“W-what are you talking about? I never said that… but w-well, we’re friends, aren’t we? I wasn’t able to do anything for you in that game, and you ended up protecting me from everything. It’s only right that friends look out for each other.”

Cute.

Mark gained a smile on his face as he saw how shy Luna was about saying her true intentions. Mark was no fool. He knew that this was more than just friendship for Luna. It was a lot more than that. So, either she liked him a lot, or she was in love with him. Honestly, both options were only going to lead to a headache for Mark.

This could become a hassle that leads to many complications down the road, but it could also become very useful.

‘This is getting too complicated though. A woman who likes me is an investigator trying to catch my girlfriend for murder. I could write a novel about this.’

Mark finally stood up and put his hands in his pockets while talking.

“Alright, you go have fun doing that. I have to go to class soon before Arit comes out here looking for me. They probably started already.”

The mere mention of Arit’s name was enough to put a frown on Luna’s face.

“You have to go already? Staying a bit won’t hurt. I can vouch for you.”

“Sorry, I can’t. I don’t know how she does it, but Arit has some sort of Mark radar that she uses to find me no matter what. It’ll just be better to go to class. It was nice seeing you again, Luna, let’s hang out sometime if we’re both free.”

Mark grinned at Luna. Even though he did not approve of her wish and he didn’t like the complications that would arise from her being in that school, he was not going to just forget everything they went through together. They fought for their lives in that game, and even though she did not have any powers, she was a big help to him. To Mark, Luna was a good friend.

Luna gazed up at Mark in wonder before slowly turning her face away in embarrassment while muttering.

“T-Thanks. I’d like that too.”

Mark was about to leave the room, but Luna suddenly reached out, and Mark turned around as she grabbed his hand. She still had that blush, and Mark raised a brow as she mumbled something incoherent.

“What was that?”

Mark asked curiously and Luna mumbled again as her blush increased. Mark still couldn’t hear her and Mark turned around to face her fully as he told her to speak up. What the hell was she trying to say?

Luna used her other hand to cover her face and cursed internally.

“To hell with it.”

Luna stood up, and before Mark could react, she wrapped her arms around his waist and squeezed. Mark was left standing there in complete surprise as Luna hugged him tightly. She buried her face in his chest and took in a good, long breath before sighing.

“I know you said we should be just friends, and I know you have someone your heart is set on, but… I’m not giving up on this.”

Luna took a step back and put her hands behind her while walking backward towards the door.

“That girlfriend of yours had better watch out. If she isn’t careful, I’ll make you fall in love with me in no time.”

Luna still had her blush, but it did nothing to reduce the glow on her face as she smiled at Mark happily. Mark could only gape at her as she opened the door and rushed out.

Mark brought one hand out of his pocket and massaged his temple gently while gritting his teeth in frustration. He tried his best to hold it in for a long time, but after a while, he couldn’t hold it anymore, and a small chuckle escaped from his mouth.

“Ah, fuck, that was kinda cute. I really need to find a way to get rid of her; she could become a real pain if she gets too involved with me and Arit.”

Mark sighed as he finally opened the door and left for class.

…

[Class 2A]

“Class, today we are going to be having two new transfers.”

Arit was in her seat, and she frowned as she looked at the empty seat to her left. Mark was not yet in class, and Arit began to wonder if everything was alright. Did Mark get held up by the superhumans outside? Maybe I should call him and remind him to come to class.

No, Mark isn’t the sort to get held up like that. He would end the conversation as quickly as possible. That means he is either doing something else or he is just playing hooky again.

Arit was going to have a migraine because of her stupid boyfriend. Why can’t he just come to class like a normal student?

‘Because he isn’t a normal student, he is KING.’

Shut up.

‘We should go look for him. This class isn’t as important as the KING.’

No, the class hasn’t started yet. And I trust him. He said he would come to class, so I know he will. Mark wouldn’t lie to me.

‘What if it’s another woman trying to seduce the KING? You know how many foolish women have been trying their best to take him from us all this while. The KING is strong, and those sluts are cunning; they will try to lure him in and give themselves to his power. You can’t trust anyone.’

Arit swallowed as she felt her hands tightening into fists. Maybe she should go look for Mark.

Arit was so immersed in her conversation with the Queen that she completely missed the announcement the teacher made in front of the class. It wasn’t until she heard the murmurs from the other students that she realized something important was happening.

“We are getting transfers? But it’s the last term of the year. What the hell are they going to do?”

“I hear the girl’s hot as fuck! She’s got that bad girl vibe and everything!”

“Do you know if they are superhumans or not? I think they are! They looked familiar from the glimpse that I caught!”

“I hear they’re siblings!”

“Can you all shut up, they’re coming! You’re gonna make us look like kids!”

The door to the classroom opened, and in walked two people that made every single person in the room gasp in shock.
