Chapter 534

534 Defense Report

Everyone rejoiced at the great news, yet they knew a storm might arrive soon. Nonetheless, they congratulated Vincent for not getting expelled, and their concern was washed away.

When everyone was asleep, Kazumi noticed a ghostly snake’s head in the bedroom looking at Vincent.

Kazumi saw Blemish point with its head as if it was asking to be followed. She exited Vincent’s body and went to Jun Ye Rim’s room. There she saw a nervous elf with mesmerizingly white shining hair.

[Do you want something?] Curiously asked Kazumi.

“I never asked for help. I never needed help...” Jun Ye Rim averted her gaze while nervously placing her hand on her arm. “I feel I have fallen into Vincent’s trap...”

[No. You are wrong, Jun Ye Rim.] Kazumi interrupted.

[Even if Vincent teased you of becoming his wife, and even if you become his wife in the end through what you call a trap, he is a gentleman.]

“And what does this gentleman have to do with placing a leash on me and forcing me to become his wife?”

Kazumi went rest on the edge of the bed. [Sigh. What does a wife mean to you?]

.....

Jun Ye Rim was surprised to hear this question. She nervously looked outside the window and answered, “Become a pleasure elf and locked in a room. That is how humans see elven women bound by the elven rule of an afterlife.”

[No, Jun Ye Rim. You are wrong. Furthermore, do you think your answer applies to a man with four women, including me?]

Jun Ye Rim flustered as her words conflicted with someone like Vincent. Someone who didn’t need a pleasure elf. It was at that moment Jun Ye Rim remembered what Sofy told her.

‘Sofy told me how she wants Vincent to dominate her or something like that. If I remember correctly, Sofy said how Vincent rejected her approach, even when she wasn’t wearing clothes.’ Jun Ye Rim recalled.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“Humph! I am still not convinced.” Jun Ye Rim replied.

[Sigh. First of all, if you ever decide to marry Vincent, he will let you choose if you want to sleep with him or in a separate room. Secondly, he is not from this world. He isn’t like the humans of the world.]

[Vincent respects his women more than he respects himself. Sometimes he is overprotective, like today.]

“What!? B-but I am not his woman... I-I-I don’t like him or anything.” Jun Ye Rim responded while a pair of blushing cheeks.

[Vincent likes being around you.] Kazumi said while thinking, ‘Because it is fun to be beside a tsundere like you. Hearing your words and watching your expression showing the opposite is fun.’

[He considers you one of us. As such, he invited you to live in our home for free without any strings attached.]

“I don’t need pity. I can take care of myself.”

Kazumi floated to the wall. [Before I leave, let me tell you one thing.]

[Vincent was summoned and unwanted. He will even be killed because people hate someone like him since he is different from them.]

[But look at Vincent now. He has built a new life for himself. He is currently living happy, even if he knows his current life will suddenly come to an end.]

Kazumi looked at Jun Ye Rim and continued [What about you, Jun Ye Rim? You are unwanted and hated by your people. Isn’t it time to build a new life? Isn’t it time to move forward and have people you can consider trustworthy even if everyone else doesn’t want you.]

“But...”

[No buts Jun Ye Rim. I hope you can think instead of doubting if it is possible. Furthermore, don’t you have another name? Mirey Jun?]

Kazumi left Jun Ye Rim alone in her bedroom.

“Why...” Jun Ye Rim went onto her bed, and Blemish appeared in front of her. “Blemish. Why does my name say in reverse by Vincent and Kazumi make me feel different? Why don’t I feel bad hearing the mocking name?”

Blemish nodded as if it had an answer and formed a heath shape with its body.

“N-n-no. I don’t like Vincent or anything...” She said while averting her gaze and stuttering.

*Day 169 – 24 November – Tuesday*

The next day arrived, and everyone on team ten island wondered if there was going to be more trouble.

Vincent and Nick went to the morning lesson while keeping an eye out for any attempts of revenge. However, nothing similar to what they expected happened. The three members of team five weren’t attending today’s lesson.

Vincent later heard from Biro how all of team five will have to appear in front of the headmaster for questioning today individually. It meant they weren’t going to make their appearance today.

Similarly, in Maria’s lesson, none of the two members of team five were present in the lesson. This allowed Vincent to go with Lilith to the mailroom casually.

After receiving letters from Maid Xu and Lilith’s parents, the two sent a response letter and returned to the team ten island.

*Day 170 – 25 November – Wednesday*

*Day 171 – 26 November – Thursday*

After one day quickly passed, Thursday arrived. Today, Vincent’s team had to disguise themselves heavilyo their lessons heavily.

The reason was simple. Vincent became a person everyone was interested in competing against. However, no one approached Vincent to challenge him this week as if the students were on the fence about Vincent’s real power.

Additionally, as the rumors moved from mouth to mouth and altered from the truth, Vincent was said to be an aggressive person. He not only would make a show regardless of the academy’s authority, but he would attack anyone who harassed his teammates.

Some called him the one punch man. Some called him a mad dog. Others called him bad news.

Nevertheless, Vincent’s team was fair game in the arrival hall, filled with many students challenging each other. Not to mention the royal soldier keeping order.

Vincent and Nick went to the morning lesson with different skin tones, different hairstyles, and with their noble family insignia covered. Later, they went to pick the girls up from the hectic arrival hall and went to Maira’s lesson.

To their surprise, Vincent’s team was the only team present for the lesson.

“Teacher Maria, did Tiffi’s team go to compete in a ranking match?” Curiously asked Vincent.

“Yes. I told Melissa to keep an eye on Tiffi because she can’t fight.” *Sigh* “But she said, “leave it to me. If Vincent can do it with three, I can do it with one teammate doing nothing.”

Lilith, Clair, and Jun Ye Rim felt terrible hearing Maria repeat what Melissa said. It made them feel like dead weight to the team.

Lilith could only provide minimal healing over the course of hours with regen and curing minor ailments. Clair had to cook beforehand for a slight stat boost, while Kazumi took Jun Ye Rim’s scouting job since Vincent was the one who needed the location of his opponents the most.

The day resumed as usual until the end of Thursday.

*Day 172 – 27 November – Friday*

In the morning lesson of Friday, the three classmates Vincent beat returned. They didn’t speak nor get close to Vincent or Nick. Instead, the three of them glared.

Vincent and Nick guessed the three of them weren’t going to take their revenge.

“I don’t think they want to be embarrassed anymore, hehe.” Whispered Nick to Vincent.

“I hope so.” Responded Vincent, showing how he was still cautious and how Jun Ye Rim needed to be protected upon their return.

[I agree with you, Vincent. I will keep a close eye on their actions.]

A few hours later...

The lesson ended without a problem. Later, Maria’s lesson ended without a problem. The five of them simply glared as if they wanted to cause intimidation while doing nothing else.

Vincent and Lilith went to the mailroom and discovered how nothing seemed wrong on the surface, but that was because their home was the one targeted by team five’s parents.

During the two days Vincent didn’t receive a letter, the soldiers patrolling near their home caught a few thugs loitering nearby while acting drunk both day and night.

Yesterday early morning, Fliara shot a fire ball at a person dressed in black. He was climbing the wall with a rope far from the gate. When Fliara noticed him, his bum became burnt and black.

Later the soldiers took him away, and the news reached Ganni and Russo. After becoming alert, they requested the soldiers under them to make their patrols less open. Their plan worked, and they caught three more suspicious men with a rope and a hook in their possession.

However, there was a second page to the letter, and it was about defense. The second page was written by a different person, which was a recreation of what the twins faced during their guard shift.

The twins were met with a different kind of attack during the day. Instead of aggression, it was seduction.

Two lightly dressed women approached the twins. They asked for directions while their breaths smelled like alcohol.

The twins explained explicitly in the letter how the two women were good-looking and had a good body shape. They also wore make-up, were clean, and had nice-smelling perfume.

It appeared that the twins wanted to show how they had to face a strong opponent, yet the description showed a red flag. Wearing make-up and using perfume wasn’t something a commoner would use in their daily life.

Unless it was for work, making the twins their targets.
