Sofony went to school like her other classmates, but also like her other classmates, she slept most part of the morning classes away. The subject teachers angrily shook their heads at the sight of many classes having sleeping students, but eventually let it slide since they knew the blame was on the upcoming School Fest.
Sofony thought when she woke up. 'Great. It's Friday. And there are no serious classes. The teachers are so understanding probably because today is second to the last day of preparations.' Tomorrow would be the last because the academy would be closed on Sunday.
Just before the lunch break, she excused herself from the class to go to the restroom. She was still sleepy back then, and her eyes were only half-opened. It couldn't be helped because she was probably the most exhausted out of all students in the whole Holy Child Academy.
'He cooked breakfast for me...'
A smile later blossomed from her lips after she remembered his cooking figure. She blushed though as she also remembered that he cooked with only an apron on his body. The scene was too sexy and... hot. Hotter than the fire coming from under the frying pan.
Sofony sneered in her head while pulling up her underwear. She had just finished her business in one of the cubicles and was now wiping the edges of the toilet bowl using a tissue in courtesy for the next user.
'Don't kid with me. It's not a system task.' She knew because it should appear as
'Yeah. I know you're immoral so you're messing with me. I understand. That's also the reason for your very dirty imaginary tongue. I so understand.'
She grumbled, 'Gio is so smart so he won't waste his precious semen on that kind of activity. I'm sure he prefers shooting it all in and on my body.'
'...I don't care about them...'
'Sorry. I won't accept.'
She couldn't imagine herself doing with it anybody else. This was why she was quite relieved about the main mission. It was asking her to snatch a lover but it did not specify she must sleep with Felicity's true lover.
Clarity came to her eyes once the water from the faucet was splashed on her face. Sofony was now outside of the cubicles and was washing her face in front of the huge mirror of the restroom. She studied the reflection for quite a while as she wiped herself with the handkerchief. She realized she changed so much. Her face, her skin... she was not this pretty before. Or maybe she was just not confident before.
'I know. You just told me.'
When she stepped out of the place, it was exactly five minutes before lunch break so she didn't bother walking back to the classroom but wandered around. But, when she was about to take a turn to the corridor leading to the canteen, a person suddenly blocked her path.
Sofony's face turned weird at the sight of Floyd before her and her body automatically turned stiff as she stopped walking.
"Miss Sofony."
Floyd stared at the beautiful girl in front of him and couldn't stop his eyes from roaming at her body.
'She's really deserving to be called a campus goddess. The skin alone is very delicious. That man sure is lucky. Even at grandpa's model agency, she's at the topmost level. And I've yet to f*ck one. Damn it. If only the system didn't warn me of her relation to that monster, I would have kidnapped and repeatedly raped her. Then I'd never wake the next day, slaughtered by the monster.'
Sofony still hadn't forgotten that this guy was having malicious thoughts about her and Wendy. Fear rushed into her. It couldn't be helped because even if she's become much more open and lively than before, she was still not very courageous to the point she could face a possible rapist, aside from Gio, head on.
"...What do you want?" Her soft voice was lower than usual, she stepped back once.
"Relax. I won't eat you. It's not like I can. I'm here only to talk with you."
"I'm just a normal student, I'm a mere nerd, I'm sure a rich young master like you finds someone like me boring. Which means there's nothing to talk about."
She gave him a glare as she tried to act strong. Floyd didn't notice her trying hard expression since he was more focused on what she said.
'What normal student? You're a nerd before but a muse now. And what kind of boring girl are you that you can move a giant monster like Gio Albarez to target a boy like me whose only fault is being too horny. Even the system classified you as a dangerous human even though you're just a regular one.'
Floyd didn't believe her words. And the reason for his wariness was his belief that Sofony was not an irregular existence like him. Floyd was really conflicted because he didn't expect a fragile girl like this to be a well-camouflaged snake. However, given that he was from a well-established family, he knew he had to try to take the initiative to not get led around even by a demoness.
"I know who you are."
"What do you mean?"
"That you are a whore." He said in an attempt to trigger this girl's real self.
Floyd was greatly suspecting that she was a great actress capable of donning at least ten masks if she could be as dangerous as that monster. Now that he remembered it, he had this Sofony investigated but his hired man had yet to report to him and when Floyd tried to contact him, there was no response. What did this tell him? That guy's most probably dead, if not tortured.
Floyd watched the change in Sofony's expression. She turned much paler and she looked like the word made her wronged, and then angry.
'She's acting!'
Sofony closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her gaze was very hazy and she looked like she just received a massive blow.
"You're Floyd Cruz, right? The number one playboy of the campus. Who the heck are you to call me something I am not? What gave you the right to call me that when you don't know me? It's my first time meeting you, and you're this rude?"
Floyd narrowed his eyes. "I know you. Because you caught my attention."
Sofony laughed as if she just listened to a very funny joke. "As expected of a playboy. Just because I caught your attention, I am already a whore? You're unbelievable!"
He started advancing towards her and probably due to fright, Sofony stopped laughing and stepped back. She cursed at her luck and hated the fact that there was no nearby person around that she could call out for help.
Floyd gestured in the air, as he established dominance and tried to intimidate the girl before him. 'I have to act tough because this girl might be a human demoness, a famous breed of slut that can manipulate powerful men, the kind which is ten levels higher than Felicity.' His eyes flashed.
"Hey, Miss Sofony. Do you know what omniscience means?"
Confusion crossed over her face. He resumed talking.
"It's knowing everything. And believe me or not, I kinda have that ability."
He paused a bit and looked at Sofony whose expression has an obvious 'This scum must be nuts' written on it. He grinned and looked down to see her shoes stepping back again.
"We never truly spoke before. But I know one information that can make you believe that I'm omniscient. You have a secret that you don't want people to know, because once this leak out, you're no longer be the nerdy goddess that everyone knows... and what is that?"
Sofony's heart beat loudly. She didn't like the beastly and crazy look in his eyes.
Floyd leaned onto her to whisper on her ears, "You are secretly Gio Albarez' bedmate, no, f*ckbuddy! So now you know why I'm calling you whore!"
Sofony's face changed into surprise but immediately went back to calmness again, "You're speaking nonsense. I'm not anybody's whore. If there's one between the two of us, it would be you, our infamous campus manwhore, and I..am not!"
The last two words were spoken with emphasis. In her heart, she murmured, 'Initially I thought so too, but at least Gio said I'm not, he said I'm his girl. I know he's just phrasing it more positively..but I don't care...'
Her gaze directed at the known playboy turned wary after digesting his revelation. 'But how did he know about me and Gio?... Is it because any upper society member can easily find out...?'
"You can try to deny it as much as you like. But I know you are because you guessed it right, I hired a private detective to investigate you."
He spoke the truth but didn't say that the information he knew was not from the person he hired but from the system. Not like the system would let him reveal it, and the idea also didn't cross his mind.
His points reserved were all spent just to verify that Sofony Mendez was Gio Albarez' pet and that the latter was probably already targeting him.
"That is not omniscience. That is called breaching somebody's personal privacy."
"Does it matter?"
"I'm an innocent person," she said as if convincing herself. "If your goal is to anger me to death, please stop and just leave me alone. I don't want to associate myself with a playboy like you. You know, there's gossip in the school that any girl you touch will turn into ..." She didn't dare say the word but she assumed the scumbag got it. "Anything else you want to say?"
Floyd cursed because the girl was clearly trying to end the conversation. "I actually have a favor to ask. I want to meet Gio Albarez."
'...What kind of topic changing was this?' Sofony was very baffled, but when she thought that this guy was bringing up a request involving her man, out of a sudden, without reason, her thinking was 'He's planning something bad!'
"...Oh? I'm sorry I don't think I can do that. I'm a naive person but not so stupid as to help out or even hear out a scumbag's request," the words spoken had hints of anger and mockery on it. Sofony just realized that she could be quite brave.
"If you don't, I'll spread your secret around." He threatened.
"Can't you stop speaking nonsense?"
"You are a whore! And I will spread the word to every single person in the world if you don't help me meet up with your sugar daddy!"
Sofony felt very angered, bothered and humiliated. This outrageous playboy kept on mentioning her with that hateful word. She was so angered that she no longer cared to argue. It's obvious her rebuttal would just enter a deaf's ears. In the end, it was clear that this Floyd was hell-bent on slapping her face the fact that he knew her relation with Gio Albarez. Instead of pointlessly denying something that the other party already firmly believed, she just chose to respond to his threat.
"Try!" It was a mere word, but it fully expressed her annoyance and anger.
Her blatant challenge greatly surprised Floyd. She stepped back once, for a purpose she just came up with, and then uttered with her smirking lips.
"Mr. Cruz, you said you're omniscient. But do you know that I'm quite talented myself? I'm quite a predictor. And guess what? I see you making a move on me in the middle of a deserted corridor. A few people heard it and suddenly rushed over. When they arrived at the scene, they saw a frightened girl backing away to the wall. Do you believe that the girl doesn't even need to say a thing and you'll be condemned into a good-for-nothing playboy harassing an innocent girl, someone who must be stoned to death?"
When she saw a glint of realization on his eyes, she inwardly sneered, 'Too late, five minutes is up and it's finally lunch break', and then she started screaming! Like her life and death depended on it!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
The sharp-pitched voice of a girl echoed in the surrounding. When countless people, students, and teachers alike, rushed over, Floyd knew he had been very stupid to actually have been easily played by a little woman.
He could only frustratedly and hatefully say,
"Gio's bitch, one of these days, I'll kill you! I'll surely kill you! Stab you to death with my massive weapon!"
Sofony heard it perfectly but after the long scream, she just said in between her gasps for air, "I forgot... I'm omniscient too.... and that's if I would base the meaning to your sloppy definition. I know what you are planning against me, and Wendy! And this? Is just a little payback from our side!"
When the first 'concerned' person rallied to Sofony's side, she was already back to her panicked state and Floyd was seen fleeing swiftly. The playboy was heavily cursing and was also heavily cursed at.
"H-He tried to threaten me."
Sofony didn't explain fully but everyone already assumed that the known playboy did something unforgivable to Sofony, and it was ninety percent roguish to make her scream from fright. Guilt for misleading everyone overtook her heart, however, she later convinced herself that the situation forced her to do it. She did not lie, the guy did threaten her, just not in the way these people assumed it to be.
'I'm guilty. But I learned that people are actually weird. They immediately assumed that I was sexually harassed. Is this an advantage of being a girl?'
She responded to people's questions politely one by one and then thanked them for their help. After that, she paid notice to the system announcement.
'I'm glad it's over now. Confronting a person like that exhausted all my courage from me. Anyways, what's with the knowledge reward? Is it a skill?'
Speaking of skill, she felt pain as she thought of her points going down again as she had just upgraded the Acting Skill. She spent 350 points earlier but her acting only reached E+.
Sofony who was now being escorted to the canteen frowned. 'It's about Floyd? Don't tell me you'll say he's the real lover of Felicity? If so then I'll just pass on the mission and be pregnant with Gio's child. I don't want to be associated with that kind of person! I'd rather fail the mission!'
The person walking next to her saw that Sofony closed her eyes and looked much paler and frailer than ever. She felt pity for this beautiful girl and furiously cursed Floyd for causing this nerdy goddess such a trauma. Just because he was rich, he was assuming that he could touch even a girl like this?
Sofony didn't know about the concerned person's indignance as she was busy shouting in her brain. 'NO! I'm sorry! It's a joke. Please don't... I just forgot there is still that hateful failure punishment, so please don't!'
Then a female's cry reverberated on the hallway. "Sofony!"
Sofony's eyes widened, Wendy was rushing to her from behind, but the appearance of her best friend was not what surprised her. It was the system's notification.
'That Floyd is a host?'
'...So that's why that playboy is so much of a scum. I didn't know there's a host aside from me... But, why didn't I hear anything about this from the listening device?'
Sofony sighed with a heavy heart and thought it was a close call. Thankfully, the other party did not have other intentions and probably had let his guard down against her. She was quite fearful when the system told her that Floyd was much knowledgable than her in using his system.
'This world is really not a safe and wondrous place. That Floyd Cruz is actually much more dangerous than a normal curious playboy... I hope Gio will not be in danger.'
Thinking of this, Sofony felt extremely worried. She was sporting that expression in her face even after Wendy caught up with her and pulled her into a tight hug.
