The Author's POV

Chapter 38

"Are you sure you're alright?"

Passing by stalls without even glancing at them, Kevin worriedly looked at Emma who remained silent throughout the whole time they were walking. After that accident, Emma had a gloomy air around her. It felt as if she had erected a tall barrier that prevented anyone from approaching her.

"Hey! Hey!"

Suddenly Emma stopped walking. Raising her hand slightly, she wiped away the corner of her mouth.

Looking down, her azure blue uniform now had a small red stain on it.

Noticing it, Emma quickly pulled her hand back to hide the small stain. But although Emma tried to be subtle with her actions, it couldn't escape Kevin's eyes which immediately widened in shock.

"Shit!"

Grabbing her hand, Kevin immediately dragged her out of the elective fair.

It seemed like the earlier confrontation had resulted in Emma sustaining some internal injuries. The fact that she refused to kneel even under all of that pressure goes to show how much willpower and determination she had.

Fabian's rank was most likely around the C range which was around two ranks higher than Emma whose rank was still E- borderline E rank.

Subjected to such pressure, Emma was bound to suffer internal injuries. If not for the fact that Kevin's rank was E+ borderline D rank, he too would've suffered serious internal injuries.

-Smack!

"Don't touch me"

Raising her voice, Emma smacked Kevin's hand away. A split second after realizing what she had done, Emma froze and lowered her head in shame.

"I-I'm sorry"

"It's alright"

Not taking it to heart, Kevin stopped and looked at Emma.

Her complexion had become a lot paler than before, and looking at her carefully now, Kevin could see Emma slightly shivering. Almost as if she was suffering from extreme cold.

'shit, how come I didn't notice this before!'

Cursing at himself, Kevin thought for a bit before gritting his teeth.

"Here"

Taking out a light green potion from his inventory, Kevin handed it to Emma. This potion was one of the rewards that he had gotten after completing a quest that the system had given him.

He had saved it in case he got severely hurt, but seeing Emma suffering, Kevin couldn't control his impulse and decide to give it to her...

In the first place, the only reason she got hurt was because of him. If he had not asked her to bring him around for the elective fair, none of this would've happened.

"...I appreciate your concern"

Looking at the potion Kevin had given her, Emma was slightly touched, but she still rejected it.

"I insist"

Noticing Emma's stubbornness, Kevin tried to forcefully put the potion in her hand, only to be rejected by her once again.

Seeing that he could do nothing to make her take the potion, Kevin gave up.

Her hand, which was slightly trembling, reached out for her pocket. Taking out her phone, she quickly dialed a number.

After a couple of rings, a pleasant and gentle voice could be heard from the other side of the phone.

—Young miss how may I help you?

"I need someone to pick me up"

—Is something wrong miss?

after hanging up her phone, a butler calmly walked in their direction. He donned a neat black blazer with a slight opening where his white unwrinkled shirt could be seen. A black bowtie hugged his neck and accompanied by his well-polished shoes that shined under the campus light, further added to his elegance. He had a full set of white hair which was a result of his age. At the edge of his eyes, which
