Once more, trying to save the novels...
...
The next day, rumors about Wings of Liberty started to spread through the city.
At the start, nobody it much attention. It was not uncommon to hear strange rumors about the top clubs in the city, and this one seemed like just one more of these rumors.
Plus, the rumor about the Princess of the Kingdom of Alterna defeating the leader of Wings of Liberty before saying that he was not qualified to lead the club seemed pretty unbelievable.
But to the surprise of the students in the city, three members of Wings of Liberty left the club that same day.
They did not say the reason why they left, but after someone investigated the details, he realized that they had witnessed the moment when the Princess defeated the leader of Wings of Liberty and said these words.
That information immediately made the city boil.
In an instant, the rumor spread to the entire city. Moreover, it quickly became more and more exaggerated.
In the end, it became in 'The Princess defeated the leader of Wings of Liberty after he tried to take advantage of her' and 'The leader of Wings of Liberty is a wicked person, so the Princess decided to beat him'.
Obviously, something like that was not true. But by this point, many people believed it.
After all, few people knew the true reason why Eres left Wings of Liberty, so they quickly filled it with scandalous details.
That was what tended to happen with rumors.
Bloed already expected it, and that was the reason why he decided to go with this plan, But even so, he was surprised by how effective his plan was.
In just one day, seven more students left Wings of Liberty.
When the leader of the club, Nathan Sigel, learned about it, his expression turned livid.
He hurriedly tried to suppress the rumor, but it was too late. In just one day, different kinds of rumors about him and the club had spread through the city, each one more exaggerated than the last.
Nathan had never dealt with something like this before, so he was clueless about how to react. He could only watch as more members of Wings of Liberty left one after another.
But while Nathan was worried about his club, Bloed was relaxing through the streets of the city.
Beside him, a petite black-haired girl with cat ears and tail was holding his hand with a red face.
Yes, this girl was Aya.
Right now, Bloed and her were on a date.
As for how it happened? Well, Eve arrived at the tower earlier that day. Somehow, the fox demigod said something that riled Regina up at the point where Regina chased her outside the city in rage.
While Bloed was speechless wondering what in the hell happened, Aya approached him and asked him if he could accompany her to buy some things in the city.
At that point, Bloed felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
'Hey, is it not the same method that Liu Ying used to have a date with me?'
Only then Bloed realized that Eve's purpose was this since the start.
Thinking about it, Eve had promised something to Aya the day of the entrance ceremony, right? Most likely, it was related to this.
Bloed smiled wryly.
But in the end, he did not refuse Aya.
After all, Aya was now one of his lovers as well. Plus, he had never had a proper date with the cat girl, so it was a good opportunity to do it.
Just like that, the pair started to enjoy their date through the city.
Unfortunately, Aya knew next to nothing about dates, so after taking Bloed out of the tower, she did not have the slightest idea about what to do.
Seeing that, Bloed could only smile wryly and take the lead.
Relying on his pitiful knowledge about dates, Bloed brought Aya to different places around the city, starting from clothing stores to a romantic restaurant.
It must be said that Bloed's strategy was very successful. Although Aya was mostly silent the entire time, a look at her red cheeks and her slightly lifted lips showed how happy she was.
"It looks like you are enjoying the date, huh," Bloed smirked.
Aya lowered her head shyly, her cat ears twitching in embarrassment.
Bloed smiled at her cute look and leaned slightly towards her ear.
"Right, I forgot to tell you, but you look very cute in that dress."
*Puff!*
Aya's cheeks turned completely red.
The poor cat girl felt as though her skin was burning and she was about to faint. She had never been so embarrassed in her life.
At the same time, she felt a strangely fluffy feeling in her heart.
Embarrassed, Aya gripped Bloed's hand as her tail wagged softly.
Bloed could not help but smile when he saw that.
Just then, though, he saw someone familiar in front of him.
That person also seemed to recognize Bloed, because he stopped abruptly and looked at him with a slightly surprised expression.
However, he quickly calmed down and bowed slightly.
"Mr. Bloed, long time no see you."
"It has been a long time indeed." Bloed nodded as well. "I did not think that I would meet you here, Mr. Yaru."
"Me neither." Yaru nodded.
Bloed was not very familiar with this person. In fact, he had only seen him once before.
Around one month ago, the members of a club called [Flying Leaves] tried to take over the Golem-Making Club. Back then, Bloed stopped them, and when the members of the club were about to fight, this young man appeared and stopped them.
Bloed remembered that he was called Yaru, and he was the sub-leader of [Flying Leaves].
Just then, Bloed noticed a young woman standing beside Yaru.
The young woman was very beautiful, her beauty comparable to Liu Ying and the girls. However, her gaze was sharp, like a drawn blade ready to attack.
The woman had been staring at Bloed fixedly since the moment that Yaru mentioned his name. When she saw him looking at her, she smiled and opened her mouth.
"So you are the leader of Machine Revolutio, huh."
Bloed frowned. "I am. And you are?"
"You can call me Anna." The girl chuckled. "Nice to meet you, I'm the leader of Flying Leaves."
Bloed was startled. But immediately, he noticed something that he had ignored until now.
This girl, she was strong.
Incredibly strong.
Bloed immediately turned wary. Judging from this girl's aura, he was not her match unless he used his trump cards.
However, the girl ignored his wariness and smiled warmly.
"I'm glad to finally meet you, Mr. Bloed. After all, I think that our relationship can be called fate."
"Fate?"
"Yes, fate." The girl said. "First, you have a conflict with Harold and Yaru. And now that I was ordered to attack you, we met here... Mm, To be honest, I don't want to do this. After all, I kind of admire what you have achieved since you arrived in the city. Unfortunately, orders are orders, and I must follow them."
Bloed's eyes shrunk. For an instant, he felt a very dangerous aura coming from this girl.
However, the woman, Anna, retracted her aura immediately. Instead, she chuckled playfully and looked at her sub-leader.
"Let's go, Yaru. We should continue with our date."
Before leaving, though, she looked at Bloed one last time.
"See you soon, Mr. Bloed. I hope that you don't disappoint me."
Bloed wrinkled his brows. He did not understand the meaning of this girl's words.
But when he returned to the tower, he understood everything.
Someone had challenged Machine Revolutio again.
It was precisely Anna's club, Flying Leaves; and the format of the challenge was [Best of Ten].
