Chapter 300: He is my Friend!
Delphine stared at Aether, who was changing clothes in her office room without a hint of embarrassment or shame. His movements were confident and unhurried as if he had every right to be there.
"I heard... you helped that victim girl?" Delphine asked curiously. She had only heard about it from the Principal and not from Aether, who usually took every opportunity to show off before her just to spend time with her.
But now, things seemed different....
Aether simply nodded, "Kind of..." and continued changing his attire without elaborating further.
Delphine\'s lips twitched as her finger tapped on the table.
An annoyed expression crossed her face, and she bit her lip hard before sighing. She knew she needed to avoid him for his sake, and yet, her heart pained seeing him act indifferent to her.

She bit her lip once more before asking, "I-I see you\'re doing well..." Her voice was softer, tinged with a mix of frustration and longing.
"Hmm," Aether responded nonchalantly, his attention still focused on changing his clothes. His indifference was like a knife twisting in her heart.
"I mean... aren\'t you a little too close with Aria nowadays?" Delphine asked curiously, recalling how she had seen him spending time alone with Aria in the playground.
Previously, she hadn\'t cared much because Aria was a married woman, but now.... she was a little worried. Others might try to trick Aether, and most of all, when she saw him happily laughing together with that woman, her heart ached with jealousy.
"Yeah, she is teaching me," Aether answered without providing further details. His terse response only fueled her anxiety.
"Teaching? What is it?" Delphine\'s face turned curious, her frustration growing as he remained evasive.
"..."
Sensing no answer, Delphine\'s face twitched as she said with an annoyed tone, "I could teach better than her..." Her voice wavered slightly, betraying her insecurity.
"Is that so," Victor said, just about to exit the office room. His disinterest was palpable, making her feel even more insignificant.
"W-Wait!" Delphine called out, her voice trembling. Victor halted but didn\'t turn back.
"I... I.... am really...." Words stuck in her throat. Victor sighed before saying, "Break is about to end... I am leaving," and he exited the room without another word, leaving her feeling abandoned.
"... Aether," Delphine mumbled with sadness. She really started to miss those happy days when he would banter with her. She was really missing those happy days, those moments that now seemed so distant.

...
Victor grinned as he walked towards his class, \'She needs a little more push,\' he thought before walking into his class. Then,
"OH!!"
"IT\'S HIM, GUYS!!"
"Look at him, Walking in hot~"
Victor blinked a few times when he saw a group of unknown women shouting at him as he entered the class. Their enthusiastic reactions caught him off guard and piqued his curiosity.
He glanced at his classmates, who simply looked at Victor with surprised and shocked faces as if they couldn\'t believe what they were seeing.
"Hello, Mister Victor," a beautiful girl stood before Victor and smiled warmly.

As she touched his chest seductively, she said, "I hope you are doing fine~" Her voice was sultry, dripping with an underlying intention.
"..." Victor still didn\'t comprehend what was happening here, but he knew he needed to stop her before two dangerous entities... shattered her into pieces.
But then,
"Stop harassing my friend!! He didn\'t like to be touched!" Ashara interrupted, taking the girl\'s hand from Victor. Her intervention was timely and assertive.
Victor raised his eyebrows in surprise before nodding to himself, \'Looks like I really found a sidekick for me,\' he thought with approval, appreciating Ashara\'s boldness.
The girl frowned at Ashara before her face turned disgusted as she swatted Ashara\'s hand away and said, "Tsk, know your place, bitch," as she used water magic to wash her hands. Her disdain was evident and harsh.
Ashara smiled awkwardly, clearly uncomfortable with the situation but not backing down.
Then her group suddenly shouted,
"Kenley, are you alright?"
"Did that succubus corrupt you?"
They looked at the beautiful girl, Kenley, with concern, their worry palpable.
"It\'s fine! I already removed that filth!" Kenley said with a disgusted face as she looked at Ashara. "Tsk, I cannot believe they are now even allowing a whore to study..." Her words were laced with venom and prejudice.
"Shh! Come on, Kenley, didn\'t she say she was his friend? You need to calm down!" One of her friends said in a hushed tone, trying to diffuse the tension.
Kenley clicked her tongue, looking at the handsome man. She already knew they were more than just friends, "Tsk, that whore is just a toy for him. There\'s no way she is a friend," she spat, her eyes filled with contempt.
Kenley looked at Ashara with even more disgust as she motioned her hand , "How is it? Is it good?" Her tone was laced with something deep and sinister, almost mocking.
Ashara frowned, gritting her teeth. "H-He is just my friend!!" she declared, her voice filled with determination and hurt.
"Yeah, yeah..." Kenley had an amused expression before saying, "A friend who can fuck you anytime and anywhere, right?" Her words were crude and cruel.
Ashara clenched her teeth. This discrimination and harassment was something she faced everywhere she went, just because she was a succubus!

"Senior, please refine your words..." Helena, who had been watching this, said with a frown. Her tone was authoritative and disapproving.
Kenley turned back and saw it was the saintess and chosen one, "Pardon me, Saintess... I was simply trying to set her on the right path," Kenley said with a fake smile, trying to mask her true intentions.
"Right path?" Helena frowned, not buying Kenley\'s act. Her scepticism was clear.
Kenley smiled even more, "Yes, since she is a whore, we need to teach her what it means to be a woman and how a woman needs to close her leg---"
Thud
Thud
Thud
Before Kenley could finish, her entire group was kneeling down by the pressure, their faces turning from disgust to shock.
An ice-cold voice echoed in the class, "Choose your next words wisely..." Victor leaned toward Kenley and whispered, "There won\'t be a mouth for you to speak or... even suck a dick, slutty bitch!"
Even though he whispered, his voice echoed everywhere, causing a ripple of fear to spread through the room.
Kenley\'s eyes widened in shock and shame. She couldn\'t believe this man had called her a bitch, "How dare yo---"
CLAP!!!!
A loud clap echoed, creating a vibration around the classroom.
Drip, Drip
Blood dripped from Kenley\'s right.... Ear!
Kenley, with shock and fear, looked at Victor who had just clapped his hands near her ear.... All she could hear now was, \'Sssssssnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggg.\'
Victor, with a cold smile, said, "Choose your words..."
Kenley gulped, \'H-He is really stronger than... us, seniors?\' she wondered before saying, "I-I would like to talk with you about... \'That Girl.\'" Her voice was shaky, and her confidence was shattered.
