The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Chapter 366: Side Story – Reunion (4)

I assessed the situation.

Everyone at the reunion was staring at me in shock. It was because Alice Carroll had suddenly appeared and kissed me out of the blue.

Ian Fairytale was still unconscious, unable to tend to his lover.

Ciel Carneades’ eyes sparkled with intrigue. The guy who always looked weary now seemed ready to pull out popcorn and 3D glasses at any moment.

I crumpled the bewildered emotions deep inside, and a tide of embarrassment flooded in.

It was an inevitable flow of feelings. Even if there was no one in this world I needed to be cautious of, my human decency still prevailed, and ordinary reactions would inadvertently surface in such situations.

Meanwhile, Alice smirked mischievously.

Despite the [Red Queen’s Paradox] making it impossible to read her mind, her thoughts were clearly reflected on her face.

She was enjoying it. My flustered state, the wariness of my fiancées.

Clang.

A monotonous constellation bloomed, and an intangible force pushed me back. Knowing whose power it was, I didn’t resist and stepped back.

Dorothy wedged herself between Alice and me in an instant.

She pointed at Alice and scolded loudly.

“What are you doing!? A kiss...! In front of everyone, how could you! The president is uncomfortable!”

“Oh dear, couldn’t help it.”

Dorothy retorted in a shocked voice, but Alice covered her mouth, snickered, and acted nonchalantly. Not a hint of shame was visible.

Indeed. The shame was ours to bear.

“What can I do? I was very lonely in the kingdom.”

“Nyahahaha...! This guy, so lonely he even lost his shame!?”

Was it because of the sticky kiss with Alice? Dorothy let out an awkward laugh, clearly displaying her flustered state.

Beside her, Luce’s cold aura flowed. Even I, an ice attribute magician, felt a chill in my bones.

“Did you miss me too?”

Alice leaned towards me from beside Dorothy, waving lightly as she looked at me. Her smiling face seemed particularly annoying today. Yet, her loveliness remained unchanged.

“I did miss you, but now...”

At that moment.

Another magic power was felt.

My eyes widened in surprise.

I immediately turned towards the source of the magic.

‘Kaya...?’

For some reason, Kaya was approaching this place. And at an ultra-high speed.

In this sudden situation, the deadly magic of Dorothy, Alice, and Luce collided, delaying my judgment.

‘It’s good that she’s coming, but why now...!’

This won’t do.

I must escape this situation quickly.

If I run away, everyone will surely follow.

Whoosh!

The spreading chill of the wind.

I was incensed with a pale blue coldness.

“President!?”

“Isaac?”

“Oh, what’s this, little one? Running away?”

Ignoring the calls of my girls, I fled against the wind in the form of coldness.

Dorothy was the first to cause a commotion, chasing after me, followed by Luce. Alice walked leisurely, smiling.

Ssssshh!

In my cold state, I moved swiftly to the vicinity of the Merhen Academy gate, the Josena Forest.

The hideout I used to use was still there.

As soon as I arrived, I materialized my flesh. It was the process of the coldness gathering and returning to my original form.

“Phew.”

With the topic of ‘Isaac’s first love,’ there was no way the reunion of my girls, the strongest in this world, could go smoothly.

Unless my girls were completely united, which they weren’t.

Just moments ago, a disaster was about to unfold.

‘This place is good. I’ll mediate from here.’

Lucy tilted her head to the left and right, stretching her neck and raised her eyebrows.

What was that awful bone sound just now.

“Are we going to see blood together today?”

No, why did it conclude like that?!

“Just a moment. Lucy, we need to have a conversation here...? Ah.”

As I was about to speak in a hurry, Kaya’s finger slipped between my fingers. I glanced at Kaya, and she smiled mischievously.

The original personality of Kaya was imagining a scene of embarrassment.

“What conversation? Talking about the bug that got tangled with Isaac while we were away?”

“Even though we’re friends, the bug is a bit too intense, isn’t it?”

“So?”

“Ches and Ella said something weird, didn’t they? Don’t misunderstand. My first love is not Amy. I swear it on my honor, with my head held high and without a hint of shame.”

I smiled with my characteristic good smile.

Dorothy lifted the hem of her witch’s cloak, looking at me with a carefree face.

Alice was enjoying my reaction, laughing leisurely with her arms crossed.

Lucy gazed at me with a calm, intense atmosphere.

“Amy must have had her reasons for saying such things...”

“I’m curious. What reason could that pest have to claim she was my husband’s first love?”

Just then, Luce began to walk over.

Koo-woo!

“......!”

From the ground, a mysterious greenish vine sprouted, blocking Luce’s path.

Startled, Luce glared at Kaya.

“Yeah, I’ve roughly guessed the situation~.”

“Kaya...?”

“Whatever misunderstandings there may be, you all came here suspecting Isaac, didn’t you? That his first love was Amy Halloway, for that reason?”

Kaya snorted with a “Pfft,” then looked at Dorothy, Luce, and Alice with a scornful face.

“Who are you to doubt? The women of Isaac.”

Her tone was aggressive.

Kaya did not let go of my interlocked hands and stepped beside me.

Luce narrowed her eyes.

“You... Why the hostility?”

“Well, can’t you see Isaac is troubled? He came to the reunion to have a good time with his classmates, and you wouldn’t be here to disrupt that, would you? Yes, Luce Eltania, Senior Dorothy Hartnova, Senior Alice Carroll. You all.”

Kaya continued, chin up.

“If you’re all so much stronger than me. If you can’t show consideration for the man who will be my husband... It seems like married life will be difficult ahead, doesn’t it? It looks like an issue I can’t overlook as Isaac’s future wife. Don’t you think, everyone?”

There was agreement.

“Ah, that... Did sister make it... difficult?”

Dorothy stepped back first.

A single drop of cold sweat fell as she scratched her cheek awkwardly with a forced smile.

However, Luce and Alice showed no change in expression, which made the air grow heavy.

“Guys, shall we move on from that topic? We can’t just skip it since we’re here, and after all, we wanted to see each other. Let’s keep it friendly...”

“Isaac, I haven’t finished talking.”

Luce, Luce...?

“Baby, it’s okay to explain. It seems there’s something else important to this friend, right?”

Alice agreed with Luce.

And unwittingly, as I read Luce’s psychology, cold sweat ran down my cheeks.

Soon, a troublesome question sprang from Luce’s lips.

“So, who was Isaac’s first love?”

“Huh?”

Kaya’s gaze swiftly turned towards me.

“Ahem. That is indeed something I’m curious about...!”

Dorothy coughed, then revealed her feelings in an unnaturally theatrical tone.

The eyes of my ladies converged on me with one mind and one purpose.
