The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 251

Chapter 251: Leo felt it Chapter 251: Leo felt it “You’d probably bawl your eyes out, yelling my name and asking me not to go.” Leo said in a gest but Alice’s heart thumped painfully.

What…

what did he say?

She looked at him shocked, her eyebrows furrowing and her expression falling.

He saw this, got a bit worried but laughed it off.

“It’s just a joke, okay?

So loosen up that stiff face.

You know I can’t die and neither can you.” He said, patting her back but she dropped her head, her gaze narrowing to the floor.

“Is it funny?” Alice asked with a dark tone.

“Hm?

Why are you getting serious?” He asked her, trying to place his hand on her shoulder but she slapped it off and glared at him.

“Don’t joke about your life.

Don’t joke about it.

I don’t…” Alice’s anger steamed up from the worry and anxiety she had in her heart.

How many deaths did the girl she was in her previous life have to endure to become the hero they wanted?

To become the only one left.

How many?

In this life, that anxiety subconsciously weighed in her heart, making her fear and dread the day when such a tragedy would come and she wouldn’t be able to do anything- to save the people around her.

So, whenever they talked about giving their lives or dying for no just reason, she grew sad at heart and mad.

Yes, she used to joke about dying a lot in the past, telling Mark she had nothing to live for but all that was true, wasn’t it?

At that time, she had been a lonely teen who had no one and no one wanted her.

So what was the need to live when the world had no use for her and all that was left was suffering and torture?

Could they blame her?

Death was leisure and comfort at that time.

But now that she knew what had happened, what her previous self had to give up, and how many people fell before her just so ‘she’ could live, she could no longer take a life carelessly.

At least, not the life of her comrades.

Alice’s energy level started fluctuating, and dark energy slowly seeped out of her body, giving a foreshadowing feeling that anyone nearby or powerful enough could notice, even if they were afar.

It was still faint, so the students who were amateurs at understanding energy levels did not yet feel it, but the experts…

Micheal raised his head and looked towards her direction, and so did the other trainers, wondering what was going on with Alice.

“You have no idea…” she clenched her fists.

“How miserable those words make me feel.

No matter what, you can’t be the one to die.

No one can.” She yelled at him and just before she lost control of her emotions and before she released a dark aura, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her.

“I got it.

I got it.” He said, squeezing her tightly and pressing her head to his chest.

“I won’t speak like that again.

I don’t want to die.

No one’s dying.

So, don’t go haywire on me, okay?” Leo felt it.

The desperation and pain in her voice.

Such intense emotions, he didn’t know she was capable of feeling them.

Well, not now that she’s always so carefree and has simple thoughts of food in her mind all day.

He sighed.

“Alice, sorry.” He apologized.

“I didn’t realize that my simple remarks make you feel this way.

You should’ve told me about it sooner.

I never meant any of it and you know it.” Alice stayed silent, clutching on his arm.

“Alice, say something.

Are you crying?” He said but then, Alice formed a fist with her hand and then hit him really hard in the guts, sending a shockwave that blew everyone back.

That was how great her punch was and the recipient of this punch was her trusty companion.

Leo’s eyes widened, and he let go of her, staggering back and clutching his stomach.

He inevitably fell to his knees with one hand supporting him on the floor.

He looked up at her with one squinted eye and one closed eye.

“Alice,” he called and started coughing.

Alice looked down at him, her eye glazed in anger.

“I told you, I don’t cry.” She said, dropping her fist.

“And for the record, I wanted to let out some steam so I planned to punch you from the get-go.

But when you asked if I was crying, oh, I’m sorry, I just lost it.

Did that hurt?” Leo looked at Alice’s unrepentant expression and lowered his head.

Ah, he did not see that one coming.

This is what happens when you try to comfort a fierce kitty.

It’ll scratch you with its claws just for comforting them since it seemed like they were being looked down on.

“Alice, what’s going on?” Miss Stella called, hurrying towards them and Alice flinched.

Ah, she got carried away.

She decided to help Leo up and pretend everything was fine but when she stretched her hand to help Leo up, Leo brushed her feet off the ground with a sudden leg sweep, causing her to fall.

No one saw this coming and Alice has no idea that Leo, who was just crouching and clutching his stomach, to suddenly act out.

“It’s alright, Miss Stella.” Leo said, getting up to his feet and sweeping his hair back with one hand in his pocket, acting cool.

“We’re just messing around.” Miss Stella looked at the hole that had been made in his top from Alice’s punch and adjusted her glasses.

“Well, it doesn’t seem like that at all.

If anything, I’d say you two are fighting.” She said, glancing down at Alice who was gritting her teeth and feeling sour at his comeback.

Wasn’t he supposed to take her punch and shut up since he made her mood go bad?

How could he brush her down?

“Dammit!” She hissed a cuss.

‘I should’ve seen that coming from a petty guy like him.’ “And for the record,” Leo said, glancing down at her.

“I only went easy on you because I am at fault for something.

I would’ve returned your punch with a punch but I didn’t.

So, I believe now we’re even.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Okay, I know some people might be dissatisfied that Alice has her way all the time and this time Leo was really apologizing but she went ahead to hit him.

no way she’ll have her way this time around, a payback needed to be ensued.

Ahem, so he made her lose face How’s that?
