Chapter 58 - 58: Lina
"Haah..." Victor panted heavily, his breaths ragged as he clutched his bleeding arm. He had gotten careless, and one of the vampires had sunk its fangs into him.
"DIE, YOU BASTARD!" he roared, raising his sledgehammer with both hands. With a sickening crunch, he slammed it down onto the vampire's head, reducing it to a pulpy mess of bone and flesh.
"Damn bloodsuckers," he spat, reaching into the pocket of his jacket for his antidote. But as his fingers
"And what about you?" I countered, my tone deliberately indifferent. "Was your girl one of the maids in the castle?"
The smirk I wore made it clear what I meant.
'Pervert,' said Nelia, who until now I hadn't had the opportunity to discipline.
'….'
Leon's sneer faltered briefly before he sat across from me, arms crossed. "Hah. You haven't changed a bit, El. Still acting like the world revolves around you."
"Let's cut to the chase," I said, my patience thinning. "I don't know who the fuck you are, so stop pretending we're old friends."
His expression darkened. "Fine. Do you remember Lina?"
The name froze me for a moment.
"Wait. You… you're her—?" I began, gripping my sword tightly.
"HER BROTHER! DON'T YOU EVEN REMEMBER THE GIRL YOU MADE ATTEMPT SUICIDE?! LINA BLADDEN!" he roared, his anger palpable.
Oh, shit.
Just fuck me now.
I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying to process his words. "I heard she didn't actually die," I muttered.
I mean, how is this my fault?
She confessed to me at some banquet, and I rejected her.
Was that really reason enough for her to attempt suicide?
I mean, why?!
I'm not even as good-looking as Allen, so why the hell did she even propose to me that night?
'...Stop saying that! It's getting annoying now!'
'Saying what?'
'That you aren't even good-looking! Do you know how much I want to slap you every time you say that?'
'I don't. And trust me, I'll fuck you right then and there if you do.'
'...Really?'
'Ah? Why do you sound expectant?!'
'...'
"She didn't, but she came damn close!" he spat. "And I'll make sure you pay for it, El. One way or another, you're going to disappear from this academy."
I leaned back, unimpressed by his theatrics. "Let me guess. She's transferring here next month, after the exams?"
His jaw clenched, the confirmation clear even without words.
It happened in the novel—some heroines were introduced after the grading exams, apparently, they were so talented that the Academy didn't bother making them attend the induction process.
"Thought so," I said with a dismissive wave. "Let me save you some breath. No, I don't feel guilty about what happened. I didn't ask her to confess, and I sure as hell didn't ask her to react like that when I turned her down. Why should I care?"
Leon's shock turned into fury. "You bastard!"
"Save it for someone who cares," I said flatly. "And while you're at it, go screw yourself. I don't have time for brocons."
Ignoring his seething glare, I glanced at the metawatch on my wrist.
