Right after, he continued, “You don’t look like you’re having trouble looking for a boyfriend, so why are you hitting on someone else’s boyfriend? This could be some kind of disorder. You should see a doctor.” At that moment, Janice was boiling with anger. Though he’s good-looking, he has a sharp tongue. It’s no wonder that he fell in love with someone ugly like Elise. “Hmph! You must be blind. I think you’re the one who should see a doctor,” she retorted rudely. Then, Elise defended him aggressively.

“You’re either mentally retarded or have a personality problem. You can’t stand seeing other people doing better than you, and you always like to take other people’s things. Does it make you feel better taking other people’s things, or do you think you deserve to get everything you want?

Hand in hand, they strolled through the campus trail. “Do you know which kind of relationships I used to admire the most?” Curious, he asked, “Which kind?” “I admire high school sweethearts who end up marrying each other. It’s so pure and wonderful!” she replied. “What

as planned. Anyway, what we have is pretty great.” With that, the two held hands and continued to walk. They looked like they were made for each other and seemed to be in a happy relationship from the back. The next day, Elise continued with her vigorous training. Fortunately, Janice never bothered Elise

it wasn’t obvious, Elise felt as if she had lost a lot of weight. Everyone was determined to focus on their studies after the training. Unlike high school, university life was less stressful, and there weren’t any teachers that would urge them to study. It all depended on self motivation.

She needs to translate an Arisian article, but nobody in our year studies this language, so she’s frustrated.” Upon

“Do you understand?” Though there was a hopeful look on Ricky’s face, she understood that very few people knew Arisian. Taking the papers, Elise flipped through them. After taking a brief look, she lifted her eyes and

Elise explained, “These two aren’t difficult as they’re just some basic vocabulary. The last one is a bit more challenging as they have technical terms. When do you need it? I’ll try to translate it as soon as possible.” Ricky was thrilled when she heard this. “That’s awesome! I’m not in a hurry. I just need it by the end of this week. Thank you, Elise!
