"Oh! come inside," he invited her inside because that was already the time for the other students to return.
once they were inside, Mark gave her a chair and sat on the bed himself.
"Now tell me! what is with you?" he asked trying to sound angry, but for some reason, he couldn't get mad at her, even when she attacked him out of blue.
"huh? did you hit your head or what?" she asked with a confused tone.
'shit! looks like, she is an acquaintance of Mark, why does he get to have a gorgeous girlfriend and this cute girl as friends.'
Mark felt jealous of Mark, from this world.
"Actually I had amnesia, and I don't remember any shit anymore," he said trying to avoid long conversations.
she went silent and didn't utter a word. she kept looking down.
"Hey, are you alright?" Mark tried to shake her by the shoulder, but she turned around, and a few drops of tears fall on the ground.
"Y-You're crying?" Mark stood up and grabbed her shoulders.
"Leave me alone!" she shouted and squatted down.
Mark felt his heart shrank. he nervously gulped, and runner her back, soothing her.
he put her on the bed and wiped her tears. she calmed down.
"you promised to bring me with you! but you left without saying anything."
she started weeping and stuttering.
Mark couldn't understand anything, but still felt a sharp pain in his heart, looking at her.
"When they said you are dead, I didn't believe them, I knew in my heart, you will return..."
she stopped and sobbed again.
"but then again, your body was found, it destroyed my hope. I couldn't think straight at a time so..."
Mark went closer and pulled her into his embrace.
"don't worry, I am here now..." Marks' words worked like magic for her. she put her head on his chest and closed her eyes.
'what's this? who is this girl? they seem very close...and what is this feeling? my heart won't stop pounding' he couldn't believe he said such an embarrassing line.
he closed his eyes and started to feel her body's warmth.
for a few seconds, he experienced some different emotions that were foreign. he felt a strong urge to hold her, in his arms.
after a few minutes, he recovered from his dazed state and separated from her.
she was long lost in slumber. he carefully put her down on the bed.
'Oh boy, I didn't even ask her name...' he looked at her sleeping face with a smile and dozed off beside her.
It was 6 in the evening, Mark opened his eyes, feeling something soft pressing to his body.
he looked back to find her sleeping on his back. she was hugging him from behind. Mark couldn't help but notice the massive melons pressing on his back.
it was enough for an 18-year-old virgin to turn on. Mark calmed down and freed himself from her grasp and stood up.
"urhh...umhhh.."
her slumber broke, and she sat up on the bed. she stretched her arms up and yawned.
'why does everything she does look so damn cute?' he thought to himself.
"Umm...Mark? what are you doing in my room?" she said and rubbed her eyes.
then she moved her hand to the drawer near the bed.
"where are my glasses?" she asked rubbing her eyes.
Mark went down and picked up her glasses.
"here..."
just as she put on her glasses she looked confused "huh? this doesn't look like my room..."
Mark sighed, "of course, it's my room."
"..."
"..."
suddenly it hit her, she remembered everything, how she budged in and everything.
her face became red as tomatoes,
"I-i am sorry."
Mark smirked and shrugged it off.
"you look cute when sleeping like an innocent Kitten."
she blushed a bit then smiled at him, "this kitten can bite you too, you know..."
she said and pushed him on the bed.
she looked very playful and energetic girl, totally different from her looks.
"Hey, tell me about your amnesia," she asked.
Mark sighed and explained everything to her...
"I see, so don't remember anything at all before yesterday?"
she asked in a grumpy manner. Mark only nodded his head.
"oh, God... I showed such an embarrassing side to you after just meeting ."
she said.
"hehe... don't mind it." Mark could only complain about the surprise attack. but he knew she didn't mean to harm him in any way. also, she is someone very important to the old Mark.
"by the way, let me introduce myself, my name is Velma Sanford. I am an Earth magic user. also, I am a C rank adventurer."
"I am also your girlfriend," she said excitedly.
"huh, what?!" Mark exclaimed.
he looked confused as she said that.
Miss Lor had told him that, Emily was his girlfriend. but who is this girl? another girlfriend?
"Yes that is true..." she said avoiding his gaze.
'hi... what is this girl up to now?' he cried out inside.
"Umm... looks like I have to go now!" she said and walked to the door.
"I will come back tomorrow..." she said and didn't bother turning back, and left.
"hm... " Mark looked at her departing figure and sighed.
"Should I inform Miss Lor about Emily?" he pondered. then discarded the idea. because he couldn't explain himself without exposing the system.
soon night came and Mark lay on his bed staring outside the window.
the beautiful starry sky was soon engulfed by a flock of clouds and the moon radiated at the center, like an eye.
he then turned off the lamp and lost in deep slumber.
The next day,
Mark got up from the bed and headed straight to the bathroom. his short black hair looked very messy, and his right eye looked swallowed.
he stopped at the mirror to admire his body, then went straight to the shower.
his stomach growled. "ah shit! I skipped dinner yesterday..."
he came out and dried his hairs with a towel.
"I have to take care of myself, only a good diet can provide the energy I need."
After brushing his teeth, he straight went to the cafeteria and grabbed a stamina potion.
he looked at the bottle and smelled it. he started to compare the odor with vinegar and eggs.
today he is going for a full workout session. even though he knew that bodyweight wouldn't work on him.
he went to the arena and was astonished by the view.
there was a lot I students sprinting on the tracks. the speed was inhuman!
he can guess that their speed must be more than the usual motorcycles in his previous world.
"This is freaking insane! I won't I can race with them..."
he said as he took a position on the track around the arena.
"ha!"
he started with a jog, which soon after turned into a sprint race, among the other students.
he didn't really feel the tension building up.
it was like a piece of cake, it didn't stretch his muscles at all.
he stood there in the corner and looked at the other students.
soon a female student stopped. "God... it's really you Mark?"
Mark raised his brows and looked at her. she was sweating hard.
"Yes?" he spoke politely.
"So you're really alive huh? what are you doing here anyway?"
Mark shrugged his shoulders, "just working out a bit."
The girl chuckled hearing that.
"Stop joking! what are you gonna get running around here? don't tell me you have a match today?"
she asked.
"huh? what? no..." he said.
"Okay then, are you prepared for the championship? now that you were...supposedly dead, we made a lot of progress. so you better prepare yourself." she said and started to walk.
"one more thing, Jason wanted to meet you."
