RAFFAELO POV.
Most classes had ended by now, and that included the second year. So it was expected I encountered some of them on my way to their LT, and on observing them, I could recognize a few.
Most were system users, and popular ones in the far future....or past. It didn't matter, but I seriously had to consider the system users I would convince to join my club.
As it is, the great families have three kinds of reactions from the students, especially the system users. One would be the nonchalant reactions, students who literally didn't care about our upbringings.
Honestly, those were the kind of people I needed in my club.
The second would be respectful reactions. They actually care, and they tend to show their respect, admiration, or fear when they're dealing with us. They mostly avoid us in general.
Third were the hateful reactions. Just the sight of us made them viciously upset, and it was obvious from their expressions or choice of words.
They are not that difficult to deal with, but at the same time, they're quite annoying to deal with.
For example, if I decide to end an argument with them peacefully and apologize, these bastards may get 'entitled' and expect an apology even if they were in the wrong.
'The best way to deal with them is just to knock some sense into them with overwhelming superiority....not that I have a superiority complex'.
Because of this distinction, I have to be careful of who I select or ask to join my club, because as much as some could become a great deal of help to us, some could also become a great pain and weakness. And a sign of weakness on the battlefield will only lead to death.
I sighed, shoving my thoughts aside, and focusing on the task at hand.
'Louis should still be in class if I'm correct. He's probably waiting for Mariam so they could leave together.....what a hassle.
There was nothing I could do about it, you can't force love. A past life won't always repeat itself, especially if you change events that had once occurred.
'If they were like this now, then they were most likely like this in my past life as well.....after all, It was not until Louis' death before Mariam even recognized my existence as more than just friends'.
A sigh escaped my lips as I got to my destination. I stopped, and slowly looked up, basking in the sunlight of the beaming sun while sophomores walked past me with intrigued glances.
It's not a crime for a junior to visit their seniors, and most would just prefer to mind their business, but most of the glances I received were from girls.
'What can I say, I'm beautiful'.
I never really paid attention to it even in my past life, but I tend to attract unwanted attention with my features.
'well even I would be intrigued by a blind person walking about like he could see clearly....not that I'm blind or anything'
After a brief moment, I cast away my thoughts yet again and walked into the LT. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire
Firstly, I needed to find Louis in the Gold class.
As I walked in, the coolness of the LT interior suffused me, contrasting with the warmth of the sun that I experienced a short moment ago. I could feel my system slowly get invigorated, and energy coursing through my veins.....well aura.
It was something I observed in the North, but I tend to get stronger in colder environments, and this coolness wasn't that far from it.
"...why else? You're strong. And I like fighting strong people"
"....Huh...." I said, glancing at Brett. 'He's the reasonable one right?'
Brett, noticing my gaze, sighed. "Yes, my brother is quite interested in you, especially after your battle against each other.
You defeated our primordial forefather, even if it is just a fracture of his actual abilities....but you've proven how strong you are from that battle"
"I also heard how you defeated the Merlin girl and Jang Kang Lin! The way you deceived everyone was cool" Rhett said with a bright smile, showcasing his canine fangs.
'Oh wow...I thought they would hate me...but they're actually impressed?'. This was surprising and contrasted a lot with their mother's reactions.
Their mother, the fox goddess, Aria Son Goku attempted to put me in her mind control, so I expected her kids to harbor some kind of evil intent towards me.
It was like Brett understood my dumbfounded reaction, as he said. "Don't get us wrong. We do not like you in any way...but strength is unparalleled in the world of the Beasts.
Someone as strong as you should at least be respected".
"Oh, well....thank you...but I can't for now" I replied, scratching the back of my head at the same time. 'Well, this is new....and awkward'. I thought, but then again, time was of the essence. I needed to find my target soon.
"...I.....I really have to go now"
Rhett and Brett nodded simultaneously, restraining themselves from asking further questions, but as I walked past them, Rhett called my name.
"Raffaelo Jun!"
I stopped, turning back with a raised brow. 'Why is he shouting?' I thought ignoring the blatant stares from my sophomores.
"Let's battle again. I won't lose a second time"
My eyes slowly bulged, and my lips curled up. "I would like nothing more".
Battle partners. That's what you call people whose bond is the urge to fight one another and strengthen themselves while doing so.
It's not friendship, as it holds more respect for one another than friendship does.
'It's not bad....maybe getting close to them will help me know more about Aria Son Goku'.
We slowly turned at the same time and walked away with a satisfied smile on my face.
I walked into the room, and taking a look around, I spotted the figure I was searching for.
His presence was something you could not feel unless you at least attempted to use aura or mana, but my eyes would suffice for things like that.
It seemed like he felt my presence at the same time since he looked away from the window he had been staring at and turned towards my direction, facing downwards towards the door from the right edge of the Hall.
A blank expression on his face, but just then from the corner of his lips, a smirk appeared.
