The Author's POV

Chapter 36

"Thank you for your help"

After expressing his gratitude, Ren directly left the classroom.

Staring at the departing figure of the student who he had just helped for a brief moment, Kevin turned around and returned to his seat.

Taking out his bag, Kevin packed up his stuff.

Just as he was about to finish packing up, a handsome individual whose looks rivaled that of a top celebrity calmly looked down on him.

"What did you do that for?"

"What do you mean?"

Tilting his head, Kevin questioningly looked at Jin.

"Why are you helping a pathetic loser like him?"

Frowning at Jin's choice of words, Kevin secretly shook his head and responded.

"Picking on someone weaker than you is more pathetic in my opinion"

"Hmph, you should already how the world works by now."

Snorting at Kevin's comment in disdain, Jin turned around and went towards Arnold who was sitting two rows ahead of Kevin.

"Don't waste your time on helping losers like him. It's beneath you"

"Just ignore him"

Just as Kevin was about to rebuke him, a beautiful voice entered his ears, prompting him to turn his head around.

With her short brown hair accompanied by her porcelain white skin, Emma stood there looking up at Kevin who was half a head taller than her.

"He's an idiot so ignore him"

"But..."

"Just leave it at that, he's just gonna ignore whatever you say anyway so there's no point in arguing with him..."

Turning around, Emma left towards the exit of the classroom.

"You coming?"

"Ah...yes"

Sighing, Kevin took his bag and followed Emma out of the classroom.

Since he was still not used to this place, Kevin had asked Emma to guide him during the elective fair.

Catching up to her, Kevin walked side by side with Emma.

Normally, a person would've been extremely happy to walk next to such a beautiful girl, but it was extremely uncomfortable to Kevin, who was not used to this much attention.

Since his parent's death, Kevin preferred staying out of people's sight, hence why he was not used to the stares.

But unbeknownst to him, they weren't just looking at Emma, but at him too.

His looks, which rivaled Jin's, perfectly matched Emma's breathtaking beauty making everyone who saw them walking together sigh in admiration.

"You'll get used to it"

"Huh?—excuse me?"

"I mean you'll get used to stares soon enough"

"Oh? ok...but why do I need to get used to the stares? Aren't they just staring at you?"

Shaking her head as if she was looking at an idiot, Emma picked up her pace.

"Sigh, whatever...do you have an elective you want to join in mind?"

"Not really, I was thinking of joining some sort of combat-related elective since from what I've seen there isn't anything in particular that attracts my attention"

Cocking her head to the side to better hear what Kevin was saying, Emma's auburn hair which was moderately short, lightly rested on top of her shoulders, muting the azure blue uniform.
