Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 325

Chapter 325: Exercise Restraint
“Oh! Is it like one of those situations? Enemies to lovers?”

Maria’s mother suddenly said something very dangerous and this time it was Maria’s turn to almost have a heart attack. Immediately her mother mentioned lovers, Maria felt the phantom pain of Arit’s hand around her neck threatening to kill her if she even mentioned Mark’s name again, and Maria held her heart in shock as she had to sit down. Was her mother mad!? Maria couldn’t even think of going after Mark! Not when that crazy bitch was his girlfriend!

Now that Maria was in school, she didn’t want the bandage to draw attention so she covered it up with her hair at first. But since she knew that the hair wouldn’t be enough to stop someone like Turner from seeing that she was hiding something, she decided that she would take off the bandage and cover the injury with makeup instead.

“That… should do it. Right? Hah~! I always thought the first thing I would be covering on my neck is a hickey from a man, not an injury from a yandere.”

Maria sighed at how sad her life was and she closed up her makeup and left the bathroom. Maria watched to make sure that there weren’t any superhumans around before she started to rush to the students’ council room.

“Maria. You’re Maria, right?”

Maria suddenly stopped in her tracks as she heard her name being called and she turned around to see an extremely beautiful woman standing behind her. Oh my god, can anyone even be this beautiful!?

Maria wasn’t someone who followed superhumans a lot, so she didn’t know the identity of all the superhumans, but it didn’t take her long to recognize the person standing in front of her since she was one of the most popular superhumans alive! Luna, the leader of the Moonlight Guild!

“L-Luna. I mean – Madam Luna, what are you doing here?”

Luna was wearing a pair of tight sky-blue jeans and a loose white t-shirt that complimented her hair perfectly. She was getting off the phone with one of her vice-leaders from her guild when she noticed Maria walking down the corridor and she recognized her from the catalog of students that she read up on. This was the student council vice president.

“I just wanted to come say hello. I am going to be a part of the school administration for some time, so I might come to you for information on some students or just to talk about things I notice in the school. I hope you don’t mind. I intended to talk to you yesterday, but the principal said you left early because you weren’t feeling alright. Are you feeling better now?”

How polite.

Maria was completely enraptured by Luna’s personality and beauty. Luna had every right to be as rude as she wanted with those looks, but Maria couldn’t even hear the smallest bit of misplaced pride in Luna’s tone. Luna sounded like a kind big sister that you wouldn’t mind going to tell all of your troubles if you were ever in a bad spot.

Maria gained a blush on her face as she nodded.

“Y-Yes, I’m feeling much better after getting some rest yesterday. I will help you anytime you want me to.”

Luna nodded before adding,

“Oh, and I am also part of the team carrying out the investigations for the recent incident. I think you’ve met one of the other investigators, Turner Fey.”

Maria’s body locked up tight! Just that one word ‘investigator’ was enough to put the fear of death into Maria and she had to use every single bit of her acting abilities to nod as calmly as possible. She was so stupid. She should have known that Luna wouldn’t come here to just keep an eye on Mark! Luna was also here for the investigations! That meant that if Turner suspected anything, he would have told Luna about it! Did Luna come here to also interrogate me!? Have I been found out?

“Hey, are you okay? You look like you just saw a ghost. Maybe your fever is still acting up. Do you need to lie down?”

Luna became genuinely worried as she saw the ghostly look on Maria’s face and she leaned closer and asked if she was alright. Maria had to force herself to nod calmly again as she saw the look of genuine worry on Luna’s face.

‘Yeah, there was no way Luna would have found anything out yet. I’m sure she just came to talk to me because I am the head of the student council.’

Once Luna was sure that Maria was fine, she smiled.

“Alright, just try to get some rest if you’re still feeling under the weather. I’ll come find you later. Oh, and I think you messed up your makeup a little. There’s some on your neck.”

Maria’s entire body shivered as Luna whispered that last part so that only Maria would hear it and Maria forced out a thank you while rushing to the student council room. Fuck, Maria couldn’t let her guard down around superhumans at all! A normal person would never be able to tell that this was makeup and yet Luna was able to tell just like that!? I really need to find a better way to hide this!

…

“Marky~! I’m back~! Did you miss me!?”

Tina rushed into the class and she announced her presence as loudly as possible while looking toward Mark’s seat. Mark’s head was down on his desk and he didn’t even bother raising it to give Tina a response.

Turner just ignored his sister and greeted some of the friends he made yesterday while going to sit down beside Arit.

Tina pouted and walked towards Mark’s seat and started poking him.

“Marky~ Marky~! Marky~! You’re ignoring me, aren’t you!? I’ll play a trick on you if you don’t answer me~”

“Can you sit down? You’re bothering the rest of the class.”

Tina turned and smiled at the glare on Arit’s face. Arit was reading through a textbook for their next class and Tina noticed that Arit was far ahead of the class already in the textbook. So the rumors about her being the top student in this grade weren’t a lie. She’s pretty smart.

Tina leaned against Mark’s table and she saw Arit’s eye twitch in annoyance before Arit glared harder at her.

“Are you going to try and pick a fight with me first thing in the morning? The teacher isn’t even here yet, so what’s the problem?”

Arit’s hand twitched as she felt like strangling something.

‘Kill her! Kill the bitch!? Who the fuck does she think she is!? How dare she lean on Mark’s table!’

No, I promised Mark. We promised Mark.

‘ARGGHHH!!’

Queen groaned loudly as it tried its best to reduce its killing intent. Arit knew that even though Queen wanted to kill Tina more than anything right now, it valued its promise to Mark more than its desire to stab Tina in the eye.

Arit finally calmed herself and turned away from Tina. Tina was surprised by the lack of a reaction from Arit and she was about to say something more, but a hand suddenly pushed her from behind and she fell off the table and stumbled forward! Tina looked behind and saw Mark sitting up while running his hand through his hair and yawning.
