Kayden's eyes held strict disapproval when they stared at the wounded Seraphine. Other than the scratches all over her body, her lips were busted, and one of her eyes were swollen up.

To say she looked terrible would be an understatement.

Kayden's gaze made Seraphine lower her line of sight, knowing that she was in for a bad scolding.

Even after Kayden warning her couple of times, Seraphine still went on and picked fights with the students inside the forest.

The matter is that she never intended to avoid his words. But back then, she had a rush of adrenaline hit her, and before her mind could act, she started to move her body.

Once she got into a fight, she found it to be thrilling and continued to pick fight until she exhausted herself out. Even after she got injured, she didn't back away and found her affinity towards getting into fights.

Maybe she was made for this line of work.<

    Seraphine's eyes then fell on gray wolf ear headband, and cheerfully, she placed it over his head. Her preferences did lie towards something cuter, but since Kayden was usually associated with word wolf in the novel, Seraphine wanted to get him to wear this.Seeing Kayden wear that headband with that helpless expression on his face made Seraphine feel as if something was missing.When the realization had stuck her, she stated, "Why don't you make a fierce or domineering expression? Like this, you look too innocent to be wolf-like."Having read comics and novels, Seraphine imagined the characteristics of an wolf-like man. Although Kayden's visual was in line with it, too bad his countenance was on the softer side.Her words did make Kayden confused for a while. Meanwhile, Seraphine paid for the goods, and as Kayden carried the bag, both of them moved forward."As in?" Kayden questioned when he finall

    Seraphine and Winter was warming up on the grounds. Kayden and Vincent both had classes prior to this, and so it would take time for them to show up.The discomfort she previously faced with Winter was gone, and even if she didn't share her personal sentiments with Winter, both of them had various topics to talk on.From she knew of Winter, Winter was the daughter of a wealthy count, and because of her interest in swordsmanship, she joined the academy, where both female and male students alike was permitted.In their Kingdom, there were more female knights than Meyton Kingdom.As Seraphine and Winter continued to discuss on matters here and there, someone bumped against Seraphine's shoulder, causing a frown to appear on Seraphine's face.Turning to face in that direction, Seraphine's eyes fell on an smug expression. There were two boys standing, and both of them mirrored similar countenance.

    Looking at Seraphine who landed herself with a punishment, Kayden shook his head. He was only a little late to the lesson yet Seraphine was now assigned to clean the training field.Wearing a smiling expression on her face, Seraphine moved closer to Kayden and hugged his hand tightly. Sticking close to him, she vocalised, "Now that I am in this predicament, don't scold me and comfort me, alright?"Kayden sighed and said, "Do you want me to help you?"Kayden knew none of these fights could be blamed upon Seraphine even though she was more enthusiastic about them compared to her opponents.Regardless of how many times he had pointed out to her that she might get in trouble, she simply brushed off his words, and therefore, this didn't come as surprise to him."No," Seraphine answered, "I am not allowed to have anyone helping me. That Elliot, I mean, teacher Elliot, just how does he know I got into almo

    Clayton's words were truly worth considering."Would that be allowed?" Seraphine questioned.Clayton nodded and answered, "Yeah, we were chosen to guide the students personally and are allowed to choose students of our liking."This caused a grin to form on Seraphine's face. Compared to other seniors, she was comfortable with her own brother and didn't think there was anything unfair about it.Others could only blame their luck for not having Clayton as their brother. What did it have to do with her?Indeed training with her brother can get a little rough, and it wouldn't be a good idea because of her current body aches. Nonetheless, this wasn't an opportunity she wanted to let go of.Her brother was busy all the time, and who knows when it would be she would come upon this chance?"Then, make me seem like cool, alright?

    This did cause Laurel's face to contort. In her memory, although Laurel had heard countless apologies from others, never did she have to take the initiative to do so.For her, apologizing to someone was a mortifying act.Seeing how Laurel was being reluctant made Seraphine press harder against her stomach, and due to the pain, Laurel wasn't able to think straight."Fine, fine, I am sorry."Of course, that apology wasn't sincere. Nonetheless, there was nothing that could be done against it. People like Laurel are born without a conscience after all.One might say it was because Laurel was spoiled and not taught from a young age, but Seraphine did not think that was the problem.When she was child, it was understandable to some extent, but now that Laurel had grown up, surely she was able to discern the matters.The other party was Seraphine, and that's wh

    Only when Seraphine was handed the test paper and she went through the contents did she realize she was being overly confident in herself.The corner of her lips twitched when she noticed how she was unable to understand around half of the question and relied on her intuition go answer most of the exam paper.It seems she did not have the female lead halo of being foolish yet managing to learn everything in a short period of time due to persistence.The more Seraphine went through her paper, the more her confidence shattered, and by the time she had to submit her paper, Seraphine sunk into a despondent mood.Thinking about how she was bragging in the morning to everyone, Seraphine wanted to cry out. This was indeed humiliating.No matter how hard she tried, she was unable to maintain a smiling expression and hold in her desire to bang her hand on the desk.To make the things worse,

    "You are here."Alexandar smiled at the mage who was seated at the couch of his office. He made his way over to him and sat on the couch beside Elliot.After that, he personally took the initiative to pour the other man a cup of tea before filling his own cup.Elliot had his usual indifference plastered on his face as he nodded his head."How was this time at the academy?" Alexandar questioned."There is report written regarding the matter," Elliot answered, indicating towards the stack of documents on the table."You are indeed efficient and impatient," Alexandar expressed, "How about Seraphine? What do you think? She is really cute, right?"That cold expression seemed to have cracked when hearing Alexandar's words, and he responded, "I almost didn't recognize her.""Me neither," Alexandar answered, "She changed so much.

    “I have heard of something interesting recently. Mind clarifying it?”Hearing that voice out of nowhere almost started Seraphine into dropping the croissant off her hand. As she raised her head, she stared at Kayden in front of her and frowned.“Since when did you have the habit of sneaking up on others?” Seraphine questioned.Kayden extended his hand towards her and pressed on to the creases that formed between both of her eyebrows. This lead Seraphine to smoothen her forehead.“I wasn’t planning do so until I learned someone was encouraged by me to confess,” Kayden vocalized.Honestly, Kayden didn’t think much of it, other than Seraphine wanting to make a fool out of Eli. However, he did want to observe various faces she would make once caught red-handed.All excuses and shameless lines felt intr

    Both Jiyeon and Taeyang was on the cleaning duty for the class. As Jiyeon was arranging the table, she noticed that Taeyang was staring at her with a mildly amused smile on his face.That aggravated her, and she expressed, “What? What are you looking at?”Without saying anything, he made his way over to her. Then, extending his hand, he touched her face and stroked it before voicing out, “You don’t have to do anything to make me jealous.”Her eyes widened at his words, and she stepped back, feeling totally exposed under that gaze of his.She then stuttered, “W-What do you mean?”Clearing her throat, she spoke with more confidence: “What sort of nonsense are you uttering now? Me making you jealous? Why would I do something so absurd?”She scoffed.He chuckled and stated, “Is that so? I know you well, Seraphine. You can’t hide from me.”“What? How can y

    “Hold on, hold on, he actually said that to you!?” Aera exclaimed in disbelief. “Whoa! He is seriously a player.”Sitting on her bed, Jiyeon took a sip from her strawberry milk and stared down. The events of the other day still heated up her cheeks. Taeyang simply looked too dashing.“How did he know I was there though?” Jiyeon questioned. “Could it be a coincidence?”“About that,” Aera voiced out, “I might have spilled out your location to him.”Jiyeon raised an eyebrow.“Well, he called me, asking where you are as your phone was shut off, and I told him you’re on a date. Then, he questioned me about the location, and he is too scary. I wasn’t able to hide it.”Jiyeon could see where Aera was coming from. After the confrontation she had with Taeyang the other day, he really had a fierce side to him. Maybe because she w

    Just as she was about to hug Yejoon, Jiyeon felt herself being dragged back by a large force, and this caused her eyes to widen. She turned her head to look at the one behind it and was shocked to see Taeyang standing there.What was he doing here?His eyes fiercely stared at her, causing her to be shaken up, and it appeared that he was only slightly away from bursting off at her. This was the first time she had faced this side of hers, making her wonder on how she had possibly offended him.“Who are you? It’s too impolite to pull someone this way,” Yejoon voiced out.Jiyeon smiled at him and expressed, “It’s fine. I know him. You can leave now.”Yejoon seemed a little hesitant. Nonetheless, he nodded before leaving. Before she could wave her hand at him, her face was gripped by Taeyang, and he forced her to meet his eyes.“Who is he?” Taeyang questioned, and his tone held immense intensity&mda

    Jiyeon totally erased from her mind about asking Taeyang about why he stayed with her that night. This was surely done out of friendship, and there was no need to make the matters awkward by probing into this topic. This is how Jiyeon managed to convince herself.But when Taeyang came for the tutoring session on the next day, Jiyeon felt pained upon seeing him, and it was hard for her to keep on behaving normally as if nothing had happened. Taeyang surely had noticed something due to how silent she had been. That’s why, she appreciated him not asking anything about it.As Jiyeon was going through the book in her hand, Taeyang’s phone rang, and a picture popped up on the screen. It was the image of the woman she had seen with him yesterday; she was called Jihye.“Excuse me for a second.”With that said, he stood up and received the call. Jiyeon observed his expressions. His eyes widened for a second— probably shocked by what h

    Jiyeon’s breathing for that instant stopped, and her heart clenched painfully. A nauseating feeling arose in her stomach. That’s why, holding her mouth, she stood up and rushed towards the washroom. At the same time, her eyes were flooded with tears.Seeing Jiyeon’s reaction caused a frown to form upon Taeyang’s features, and he did call after her. But she paid no mind to his words. He wanted to go after her, but that’s when his attention fell on her phone. It seemed that she saw something on the device.Picking the device up, his eyes fell on the screen, and that’s when he understood why she had shown such an intense reaction. This was due to a certain name she had seen— Kayden.He shut her phone and let out a sigh.°°°After washing her face, Jiyeon came out of the washroom and then said, “I am sorry. I suddenly felt sick.”Taeyang stood up and made his way over to Jiyeon. H

    Taeyang shot her a quizzical look, not clearly expecting her to mention this right now, before that changed to amusement, and he voiced out, “Why are you so curious about that?”Jiyeon believed that she had decent acting skills when she smiled and said, “Am I not your friend? This simply is an enough reason for me to know about it. Now, quick, quick, tell me who is it that managed to steal that heart of yours.”“Because you are my friend?” The boy stated.There was a certain amount of amusement present in his tone, and this caused her to feel nervous. Certainly, he didn’t notice her intentions, right? Although she did feel very much exposed under his gaze, she tried to convince herself that the boy wasn’t capable of reading minds.Jiyeon nodded.“Can I not ask as your friend about the girl you like?”“Of course, you can ask,” Taeyang said, “And as for who the perso

    “Of course not. What are you talking about? You can feel comfortable at here. You have done a lot for Jiyeon, and we are thankful to you for that,” her mother voiced out.Hearing how gently her mother was speaking made Jiyeon scoff and say, “I didn’t know that you are able to talk in this manner, Mother; I thought you were only capable of shouting.”This caused her mother to glare at Jiyeon and state, “Shut up! Make yourself useful for once, and set up the table.”Although Jiyeon rolled her eyes at her mother, she did as the woman ordered as she made her way over to the kitchen. Tilting her head from the kitchen, she could see that small conversation went on between her mother and Taeyang. This caused her to wonder what the content was.Nevertheless, Jiyeon was quick to her feet and arranged the table without causing much accidents. Once done with that, she took her seat and called for

    Jiyeon had to admit that Taeyang was great at explaining her. It was as if he understood her and knew how to keep her concentration on the subject. No matter how much she wanted to distract him or ask him unnecessary questions, he didn’t let that happen.And as for the last part of the session, he gave her few problems to solve, saying, “After you are able to solve them all and get half of them correct, you can go home.”Jiyeon was dumbfounded by the expectations he held on her. Even on the subject she found the easiest, getting half correct was hard for her.“Can’t we lower the bar a little? Today is the first day after all. Let’s settle for forty percent.”He shook his head and voiced out, “If you get more than fifty percent, I will reward you.”That did sound appealing to her, and knowing that there was no place for argument, she attempted the questions I hopes of attaining that reward.

    It didn’t take Taeyang long to finish making the breakfast, and even though Jiyeon had a large intake of sugar now, that didn’t take away from her appetite when she smelled the pancakes. This caused her to feel sudden hunger.Taeyang placed the glass of orange juice in front of her before serving her pancakes and covering those up with syrup. Yurie’s mouth watered as she held her fork and voiced out, “Thank you.”After that, given how delicious the pancakes were, it didn’t take her long to finish eating them, and once done with that, she stared at Taeyang with impressed eyes.“Whoa! This is seriously good,” Jiyeon voiced out, “You really have a way to lower my self-esteem.”“Don’t worry about that. Collectively, you are way better than me.”This made Jiyeon scrunch up her nose and vocalize, “We both know that is not the case. I am far from being half as good as you.
