Chapter 37: School's life
"Umm..."
A young female teacher kept shifting her eyes from the phone to the new students. In any normal case, the teacher wouldn't care whether the students came from wealthy or poor families, as every student was equal. Still, the lady had received quite a confusing message.
That message was from yesterday, and the sender was the teacher from Reylin's school.
That man explained everything, and the young female teacher didn't know whether she should take it seriously.
However, Reylin, just as explained in the message, took out the lighter and played with the flames.
Many students had kept their eyes on him and Vis, but as the flames appeared in the classroom, students exchanged glances and stared at the teacher.
"D-Don't play with fire..." A young female teacher whispered...
"It's tame," Reylin replied.
"How is it tame?" She replied with a quivering voice.
And the lesson didn't happen because of Reylin's introduction, "This school is far behind compared to ours. What I look forward to is the club activity here. I guess some interaction with classmates would be fine as well. That is if you can deal with me."
Vis glared at him from the side, "Martial Artists Club?"
"Yeah."
"Good. Very good."
Vis rubbed his hands, and his dangerous features excited the most girls from the class. They felt like there was some kind of bad blood between them, or perhaps, a genuine rivalry. His smile said he would go all out against Reylin, and the club mentioned above would soon get flooded by ladies.
Just as Reylin said, the school was behind, and what they were about to learn was already covered by Reylin's class. He didn't need to pay any attention here, and he would probably play with either phone and his flames here.
His school life would be focused on two things; martial arts and classmates. Of course, as the game was what lingered in students' heads, the latter would be connected to it as well.
Should classmates turn bad, Reylin would just ignore them outside the school and focus on something else. Either way, the goal was to spend more time with ordinary people.
The martial arts was to polish up his abilities learned from the game!
"It's already the bell? Umm... See you tomorrow?" The teacher packed her stuff and left with her head down.
She was overwhelmed by the two new students, and it would take some time for her to adapt.
Other teachers were more or less similar.
-
"Girls, girls, girls. I understand. Um, you! Yeah, can you show me around?" Vis picked one of the girls, and she instantly wrapped her arm around his.
With a dangerously sweet voice, "Yes! Follow me, my prince!" She guided Vis around the school, and the man left Reylin alone.
Of course, Vis didn't forget to glare at Reylin and threaten him with the club activity soon.
Reylin faintly smiled, his hand in the pocket.
He held his bomb, and he felt it tightly with a little melancholy.
Those bombs didn't feel the same, and he hadn't touched them for more than a month! That was because of the game, and the stuff from real life couldn't be compared at all... Even if Reylin didn't have bomb skills, his flames were more explosive and seemed like bombs on their own.
He shook his head.
The bomb skill would be soon created, and he would bring out his creations here!
Reylin's plans with flames were endless, and he thought more about it while fending off the ladies' approach.
In his eyes, they couldn't be compared to the waifu.
Or Yvonne, in that case.
Reylin's eyes rippled with surprise as he noticed Ferocious Bear going his way. She wasn't alone, and actually, her friends had been pushing her closer to him. They pulled Maya straight from the 2nd floor up to the third!
The third floor was exclusive for third years, and one would rarely see younger students here.
Looking at the hesitant hero, Reylin said out loud, "You don't want to pester me in real life? I don't see a difference, so far."
Maya looked exactly like her character in the game, so she must have chosen zero cosmetics, just like Reylin.
Of course, no one believed his features were natural, as they were similar to a particular family.
William Wannabe was more believable.
Maya waved her hands, "We have to focus on the game! I mean, the school!"
"Come here. You will fend off other girls," Reylin gestured Maya to come closer, and they stood close to each other for the whole break.
He continued the conversation, seeing that Maya was unable to focus with many eyes on her.
She wouldn't have cared in any other situation, but everyone around believed something sparked between them.
Maya didn't dare to cause more misunderstanding.
On the other hand, Reylin didn't pay much attention, "I am out of the topics to talk about since we talk every day."
"Just for a little! Because I am the guild leader! I send emojis mostly!" Maya loudly replied, her words directed to the people around.
Reylin looked around and shook his head, "I have been recording most of my battles. I guess we can pass the time with this video."
He fished out his phone and passed it to Maya. She was careful with the brand new phone, and her hands trembled. However, the exclusive video, about Reylin's leveling up, filled Maya's heart with excitement, and she stared at the battle with stars in her eyes.
She no longer trembled and enjoyed the break more than she should, "You can already fly well? How do you learn so fast?"
"I am talented," Reylin replied while messing with his flames.
Maya nodded, and she continued asking questions. She was pretty natural now, and no one dared to disturb the Cute Bear and the pyromaniac.
At last, the bell rang out, and Reylin parted with an annoying farewell, "Come often. I don't want to blow up some luxurious bags."
"I am not your bodyguard!" Maya quickly turned around and left the third floor.
On her way back, she saw many male students, much bigger than her, and Maya realized what kind of world she had stepped into!
Real-life was much different than the game, as there was no log-out button to avoid any awkward situation.
She also didn't possess any high speed!
Flustered and faintly red, Cute Bear returned to her class.
-
"Young Master!" Sebastian arrived before the school, and shivers went down his spine after he noticed Reylin's cheek.
It was a little swollen, and anyone would understand he got hit by someone!
Sebastian felt like a part of the school had exploded already, but that was not the case.
Reylin attended the martial arts club together with Vis. Due to the fuss caused by their appearances, the duo had fought against the teacher!
Reylin raised his hand, "It's nothing. A matter of time, I would say."
"That's certainly so, young master!" Sebastian bowed, inwardly so relieved he wanted to keep his head low for longer.
Alas, his young master had already entered the car, and he turned heels to take the driver's seat.
"Return quickly. I want to begin Layla's quest in the game," Reylin said while cooling his cheek with ice.
