After I suggested Rachel to date me with burning eyes, she probably thought that I was completely crazy.
But no, no matter how strange it may sound, there was a logical justification for all this. I decided to start dating Rachel Cassius for two reasons.
The first, and most obvious, is to get a reliable shield from the flag of death until the end of training at the academy. With the presence of a girl like Rachel, I was more than sure that Philip and Razor would not dare to come to me. This will be the surest way to avoid my tragic fate in the novel.
And the second: Rachel and I will have an objective reason to spend more time together. It is possible that before the end of the training, we will even be able to make friends. Although not completely, but I hoped to have a positive effect on her terrible character, and such an excuse would be very useful.
