Chapter 119 - 155- Solving Valeriana’s Misunderstanding
Inside the Valeria Academy, the bustling of students once more reverberated through the premises as the classes ended.
"Hey, Thalia! Come here," Rihane called out to Thalia, who was about to leave her seat, intending to head to her dormitory for some reason.
But, Seeing other girls with Rihane gesturing her to join, Thalia moved towards them.
"So, how are you, Valeriana?" Zeph, noticing Thalia moving towards Rihane, feeling he was alone, attempted to start a conversation with the girl seated beside him.
"I need to prepare for the test." Valeriana collected her books, stood from her seat, and began to leave the classroom. Before turning towards Zeph, she reminded him, "By the way, you might not have known, but don’t forget to collect the list of students from Professor Liamian."
"But why would I meet him?" Slowly rising from his seat, Zeph felt confused about the reason for meeting that professor whom he wanted to avoid most right now.
’Sigh, why did he even become in-charge?’ Valeriana couldn’t help but wonder why Zeph became in-charge when he didn’t even know the basics of it.
"You need to know about every student taking the test, right?" Valeriana reminded him of the obvious. But seeing his blank gaze, feeling helpless, she continued, "Aren’t you supposed to know about them to keep track of someone not losing?"
"I see." Zeph nodded in affirmation, while trying to delay things, trying to talk with his artifact, ’Guinear, now you can do it, right?’
[Master, I have recovered a subtle amount of demonic energy. It should be sufficient] Guinier replied about his Demonic energy being recovered which was used inside the battle with Estelle and other moments by Zeph.
The presence of Guinear had indeed protected his brain, but if Zeph thought of something and the artifact didn’t work due to a lack of energy, it would pose a significant problem for him, compelling him to wait until it recovered.
’Activate it,’ Zeph commanded.
"Whatever, just don’t forget," she turned to leave before being called out by Zeph, "You forgot your pen."
She turned her gaze towards him.
’!?’
Suddenly, her eyes widened as she heard his thoughts. ’Again, those things.’
"’I need to protect everyone this time. Should I tell Valeriana about that too? No, she shouldn’t get involved, not in this life at least.’"
"Here, Valeriana, I am taking my leave then," he said as he passed a pen to her. It wasn’t even hers, but he knew that his thoughts would be far more important for her than a mere pen, so he used this method.
’" Have to first deal with that thing "’, Rising from his seat while feigning seriousness, he cautiously made his way out of the classroom, leaving behind many questions and a woman looking at him with a blank gaze.
Valeriana’s mind struggled to decipher the incomprehensible thoughts of Zeph that seemed as confusing as the time when he thought about her aunt.
Narrowing her gaze, she stood there, still trying to decipher the meaning behind that day’s thoughts and today’s as well.
Amidst all these thoughts, she could only come to one conclusion: ’This is not his first life.’
’I need to follow him.’
With those thoughts in mind, discreetly gathering her books, she stealthily trailed behind him.
...
Slowly moving towards the three girls, Thalia began to grasp the reason for her being called like this, already understanding it from Rihane’s expression, arriving in front of them.
"Is it true, Thalia?" Rihane looked towards her with a mocking smile, having already obtained information about Estelle and Zeph’s chemistry outside the Academy’s gate.
Filling with triumph upon hearing that piece of news, she remembered the day she felt humiliated by Thalia’s mocking remarks about her having small breasts.
’Mine lemons and your melons, let’s see who gets the sour one,’ Each words uttered by Thalia, remained etched in her mind. It took her two days to regain normalcy since then.
Despite starting to consume milk in an attempt to alleviate the chances of her lemons to grow, she saw no results, which only fueled her anger.
Now, she saw an opportunity to strike back.
"If you’re talking about your brother getting beaten in the arena just now, then it’s true." Thalia, not leaving any room for Rihane’s happiness directly pouring the ice water on her.
On that day, Thalia had instructed Alexios to defeat Rihane’s brother, or even beat him to a pulp and Coincidentally, it was today.
"W-what!?"
Thalia’s words widened Rihane’s eyes added with Thalia’s confident posture, with a smirk and folded hands, it felt as though she was once again being looked down upon. "You—"
"Wow, Rihane, you didn’t tell us about this match going on." Clara, one of the girls present beside Rihane, clasped her hand, feeling her heart race at the thought of Alexios, the boy she had a crush on, fighting someone.
From the first time Clara saw him in class, it was love at first sight. Knowing he was somewhat related to Thalia, she tried to make Rihane call Thalia by informing her about Zeph and Estelle’s event outside the academy.
Aware of the small rivalry between Rihane and Thalia, who was also her sister-in-law, Clara tried to engage in conversation with her but due to feeling shy, she was never able to gather her courage.
She had even planned the names of her future children with Alexios.
"I-I forgot." Trying to hide her embarrassment and averting her gaze, Rihane attempted to act as if she was already aware, while her mind was in turmoil thinking about her brother’s battle. ’Will Thalia bully my brother too?’
"Let’s go now." Without delay, Clara sprinted, pulling both girls along, while Laila followed closely behind.

A figure moved along the long highway, his golden eyes added with a small smile adorning his face, enhancing his charm.
’Will you look at that,’ Zeph sensed Valeriana’s presence sneaking up behind him as he slowly made his way toward his destination, intending to make her drop that misunderstanding and sow a seed of doubt inside her mind.
"STOP IT!" A loud voice interrupted his thoughts, he turned to see a petite girl, Jia, also known as Estelle’s sidekick.
His smile vanished at the sight of her.
’Why is she here?’ He wondered why, at a time when he wanted to resolve all misunderstandings and put an end to the ongoing issues, her presence emerged just as Valeriana was trailing behind him.
"Who do we have here?" Zeph, upon seeing her, attempted to diffuse the situation before any misunderstandings arose in Valeriana’s mind, who was observing everything from behind.
Before he could completly turn, a delicate hand pushed him back.
THUD
Swiftly moving towards him, Jia pushed Zeph against the wall, placing her palm on the wall and cornering him.
"Shut up." Her resolute gaze met his golden pupils, their differing heights causing her to angle her head slightly upward.
’Ah, damn.’ His intention to handle the situation stemmed from this girl’s tomboyish nature.
Glancing down at her eyes before feeling her fingers poking his chest, he fought the urge to react, but was restricted,’If it weren’t for Valeriana, you’d be in trouble girl for doing that.’
Feeling his patience wane due to being cornered like a some virgin, if not for the sneaky woman looking at him, he would’ve demonstrated what it meant to be cornered.
"Listen you prick, stay away from Estelle," she uttered, glaring at Zeph while prodding his chest, attempting to establish dominance.
Seeing no immediate response from him, she took a step further.
"Phew~~", Suddenly, Jia blew air in his face, a mocking smile on her face.
As a third-year student, her physique was enhanced, pressing Zeph against the wall.
"You’ve finally crossed the line." Zeph’s eyes turned cold, already familiar with her aggressive personality.
"Kyaaa~!!"
Swiftly, he forcefully pushed her, pinning her hands above her head and catching her off guard, pressing her against the wall.
"You arrogant—Mmmmfffffhhh" Jia’s voice was muffled as Zeph sealed her lips, her eyes now widened, trying to comprehend the sudden turn of events.
"Umm...Bas...t...Mffhh", Not letting her say another word he kept assaulting her lips, while her hand struggled to leave his grip.
"Mffffwww.....haaa....Try that again and you are gone", Slowly loosing his hands, Zeph looked down at now teary eyes of Jia, her gaze turning down while biting her lips a small voice leaving her, "Remove that"
"What?", Zeph felt confused, he had already loosened his hands and even stopped kissing her, then what she wants to remove.
"Back away you bastard, it stings!", She shouted lifting her eyes which crimson face, her eyes wet making Zeph’s reflection completely vivid.
’What sting—’, Zeph feeling confused Suddenly realizing something, turned his gaze downward only to see a bulge on his pants.
....
A woman standing in the other corner of the hallway, opposite to Valeriana, observed everything happening and couldn’t help but only think.
’Is he some horny street dog ’
