Chapter 27.5
Lovania Dove's Love Life
Before Kim was transferred to another section.
[ Expressionless Awakener ]
My name is lovania dove
My life used to be very quiet and shy all the time, mostly.
I barely interact with others and usually read books on a bench in the school's rose garden.
I was happy living alone in my life...
Until.... I met him..
At a sword fighting practice with the other sections
I wasn't practically interested in any of the students in that classroom including the guy i mentioned... and only talked with Micheal lorn sometimes.
-----
"Break time is over! Get unto your positions!"
The teacher of the aurorawhales class announced loudly.
Lovania dove began to look around nervously, as she tried to look for a particular student from the other section to practice with.
'Erm...'
She began to struggle finding a partner, since her socializing skills is quite low.
She began to shriek when a hand touched her shoulder.
"Why aren't you looking for a partner, Mrs, Dove?"
The teacher of the skylock class, who touched her shoulder, spoke, noticing Lovania dove's struggle and nervousness.
"Mrs, Lilac!"
"Sorry, i wasn't able to find a partner.."
Dove spoke nervously as she scratched her face with her finger shyly.
"You don't have a partner..? Why can't you look for one with the other section?"
Mrs, Lilac spoke gently.
"Ahh... Well..."
Dove began to look down at her foot as she mumbled quietly.
"If you can't find a partner.. Then i'll find one for you."
Lilac spoke with a smile on her face, giving off a sense of gentleness.
"Ahh... Yes Maam."
Dove muttered silently.
The teacher began to look for a student as lovania dove stood for a while, waiting...
Dove moved her head slightly as she tries glanced towards the teacher.
She watched as Mrs. Lilac finds a particular student.
...
Mrs. Lilac, Or in other words, Lilac welstone, Is a teacher from the class; Skylock.
She was known to be a gentle and majestic woman, Admired and inspired by many students of the academy just by a single look.
A nose that is as slim as a straight line as her chin curved perfectly as if drawn by an professional artist.
Her hair can make it up to almost both of her legs, and a single strand of hair that is believed to never have damaged.
Its color was as silver as white,giving a snowy gentle feeling while her eyes glimmed with a gentle pastel mix of blue and purple.
But despite her appearance, she has a deep secret hidden by every single being.
A mysterious aura wavering at every walk she steps.
That admirable majestic beauty has its own secrets, A secret that will likely be hidden from those who try to seek.
She was known to be a retiree as a guild master of the famous guild 'Linking reign' but retired early at the age of 27.
She was famous not only the entire school but almost the entire world. In fact, She was admired by almost everyone and everything.
Dove began to wiggle her fingers as she stood quietly as Mrs. Lilac finally took a student [CAPTIVE] to introduce from the other classroom.
"Mrs, Dove."
"You won't mind partnering this student, right?"
Lilac spoke in a gentle yet mischievous smile.
Dove began to move her head slightly to glance at the teacher then to the unlikely and familiar student.
She blinked once.. no Twice.
The familiar student which mrs. Lilac held captive apparently, Was Kwan Jihu.
Currently trapped by Mrs. Lilacs power; Water tentacles, struggling.
"HMP! HMMF!"
Kwan jihu mumbled through the water as he struggled to shut both hes mouth and nose to make sure the water won't drown him.
Dove was blank for a while, staring at the smiling teacher then to the struggling student.
"...?"
She was a bit confused but at the same time, feeling quite bad for the student.
Mrs. Lilac began to introduce the student.
"Hes name is Alexander Grace."
She smiled mischeviously as if the bright hue was shined on her along with stars floating around her face.
"Ok"
Dove covered her eyes a bit from the light as she spoke.
"Alex, This here is Lovania Dove from the Dove's family, And she will be your partner in today's sword fighting practice."
Mrs. Lilac spoke as she unactivated her skills slowly, letting kwan jihu free from the so-called 'almost drowning' skill.
"Alright, then. I'll be going now. Good luck befriending the student, Mrs. Dove."
She spoke silently before she walked away slowly.
Suddenly, the atmosphere began to feel awkward.
Dove took a slight glance at the very tall student.
Kwan jihu, Or in another name, Alexander Grace looked at her with menacing cold-like eyes, Giving off a hint of danger and blatantness.
Dove felt shy, shaking in utmost nervousness for some reason.
She began to take the courage to greet him, lessening her shaking and panicked emotion by looking at him expressionless.. and gulped slightly at the same time.
"My name is lovania dove, I give my greetings to you."
She spoke as she moved her hand for a handshake.
Kwan jihu shoved away her hand and took out hes sword.
He sighed deligently.
"I don't have time for that. Hurry up and take out your sword."
Kwan jihu, with a cold aura and expression spoke as if hes the king of the lands.
'Now that's just rude.'
She thought as she nodded in agreement to kwan jihu's request.
She took out her sword and added a proper position with it, Getting ready to fight.
Then, They fought.
Dove swung her sword with little most determination and mana, as kwan jihu avoided her attacks blatantly.
Left and right, she swung her sword anonymously, suddenly growing her utmost determination in defeating kwan jihu.
But kwan jihu, Continued to avoid the attacks, that's when Lovania Dove felt something wrong.
.
.
.
Lovania dove, Known from the Dove family.. is actually a family based on sword fighting.
The Dove's family is one of the most powerful families known for swordsmanship with great power.
As for Lovania Dove, Like her family, Is currently one of the greatest swordsman in the school.. But because of her nervousness and shyness, She wasn't the type to practice with other people unless that person comes to her.
But since she is known to be the greatest swordsman in the school, All of the students doubt they would win fighting her.. So the students of the school avoided practicing her for that reason.
That's why she stood by, waiting the entire practice field hour.
The students inside the sword practicing area began to notice the intense fight between Lovania dove and Kwan jihu.
They began to gather around them, cheering and yelling as if it is a tournament.
"Mrs. Dove!! Defeat him!"
"Swing the sword harder!!"
"GOO!!!"
She continued to fought with all her power, speeding up hes agility and speed with the rhythm of the sword she is holding.
Kwan jihu nonchalantly avoided the attacks continously, As if hes waiting for the right time.
Well, He hasn't even swung hes sword once.
Dove continued to attack, with all of her strength onto the sword, Swinging up and down, left and right until she began to feel tired.
'What the!?'
She felt somewhat exhausted, sweat forming as she began to doubt herself.
It's been a few 10 minutes since the fight.. and kwan jihu hasn't yet swung once with hes sword.
She began to slow herself, losing her composure along with her swinging attack.. Entirely letting her guard down slightly.
That's when kwan jihu attacked, swinging hes sword at lovania dove at the right timing.
Suddenly, she fell on the ground, and before she knew it, The tip of kwan jihu's sword was already close to her forehead.. a whole entire cm away.
The crowd went wild from the sudden defeat of lovania dove.
"YOOO!!!!"
"HE WON!!"
"NOO WAYYYYY!!"
The crowd cheered as dove looked down at her feet feeling the emptiness in her soul knowing full well that she lost.
'Why....?'
She began to droop off small little tears as she tried to stand up but...
A random hand appeared in front of her, she was startled and looked up.
"Just because you lost doesn't mean you'll get depressed."
Kwan jihu spoke as he offered her a hand.
She looked at him with teary eyes.. this was the first time of her life that something like this happened to her.
Nonetheless, She didn't get that much 'love' from her parents anyway and people around her liked her because of her specific skills and looks.
Those people never got to help her, which is a reason why she likes books better than people themselves.
She took hes hand and stood up from the help of kwan jihu.
Her eyes began to soften and grabbed her chest tightly.
'Ba-dump.'
Her heart was beating so fast as if its about to burst.
She took a glance at him again, He already walked away.
But her heart was still beating, something she felt for the first time.
An ambigous feeling.
'What... is this..?'
Before she could think longer, the practice was already over.
"Alright students! Practice is over, Go back to your current classrooms."
The teacher of the aurora class shouted loudly.
All of the students began to walk to their previous classrooms, along with lovania dove.
'...'
'Will.... I ever see him again?'
She thought quietly.
She went back to her class, grabbing her chest tightly as her heart was still beating until it slowened.
It took her 5 months to realize that feeling.
'...'
'Was.. it love?'
She thought.
Ever since then, she has begun to watch kwan jihu very quietly In the distance every day.
She also helped him during the times they met.
And.. thats how she got a new habit of her daily life.

Chapter 27
--Going back to kim's Pov.--
--Going back to the current--
Time crosses paths
[ Expressionless Awakener ]
It's been a few weeks since that time of the incident, and I'm finally out of my suspendence from the principal.
So.. I no longer help with the janitors anymore.
It's also been a while since i saw Kwan Jihu, i haven't seen him much except during class times.
But, that's a good thing... No more cold chills from him anymore, right!?
Currently....
I'm in my classroom doing nothing but slurping apple juice.
It's been almost 2 months since the banquet incident.
Along with that one dungeon incident, though... I'm not sure i could call it an incident.
I was only famous inside the school for 1 month and a half but sooner or later i was slowly losing my fame.
Even the news no longer mentioned me anymore!
Apparently, this is what K wanted.
Slowly and surely, my non-existence and invisibility inside the school were starting to kick in.
A lot of people began to forget about me, along with the characters that know me suddenly forgetting about me aswell.
Y,know what they say, If you're an extra, then no person will ever know you! Except those who are close to you,
Apparently.
The system's also haven't been able to reply to me these past few weeks aswell, mostly the blue system but the red system was kinda unexpected.
The last time blue replied to me was that time i had my lunch a few weeks ago and.. as for red, it was probably that week ago..?
What day was that time anyway..?
Like heck would i remember!
Even so, I still had to do one of those exercising quests every 4:00 am.
But...
I did finally have my peace... No fame, No unexpected events and no more interruptions during the process of the novel even though i got involved in them anyway!
I knew time would resolve things and that it would go away quickly.
But i never expected to go away this quickly.
Well, Not really.. I'm sure something or some kind of event will fall on me soon, I'm not sure what kind of event will happen, but I'm pretty sure it was kwan jihu who told me about it..
But i forgot anyway!
Besides... I finally had the thing I wanted the most.. Peace and other stuff!
I finally got what i needed! But....
After getting used to the events i had those 2 months and a half maybe...
'Why...'
'...do i feel.... so... empty..?'
I thought as i continued to slurp my apple juice.
'...'
'It ran out.'
I began to throw away the juice box inside my bag quietly as i sat on my seat properly.
I sighed as i felt sudden emptiness.
I looked around my classroom.
Students chatted happily, as if they were enjoying life in excitement.
I continued to look around the students inside the classroom then took more glances at a few characters I knew inside the novel.
'...'
I stared at the protagonist, Kwan jihu, for a while.
'Protagonist huh..?'
I thought as i continued to stare.
I began to shriek expressionlessly as kwan jihu suddenly glanced at me as he noticed my never-ending stare.
I quickly looked down at my desk nervously, then took a slight glance at the cold protagonist.
The protagonist continued to stare at me with cold and menacing eyes but finally looked away in a different direction.
I sighed in relief as i noticed him looking away.
'Welp, it can't be helped.'
I thought expressionlessly.
I yawned tirelessly as the teacher walked to the front board, clapping hes hands once loudly.
"All right class,"
"The day of our 3rd semester exams is close by... well, apparently 2 weeks before then, So you all will have to get ready."
"All right?"
The teacher spoke as he smiled excitingly as if some kind of event will happen right after the exams.
"Exams!? I literally hate exams.."
"I know right!? I can't even find the right answers to it.."
"I literally hate it when they don't add multiple choices in that..."
The students around me began to chatter and whisper, talking mostly about the exams.
"Oh, I almost forgot! The principal announced another exam part of your 3rd semester, That exam well happen right after our first exam... That exam will be a secret hehe!"
The teacher chuckled enthusiastically.
The students began to whisper even more.
"Another exam!?"
"Better not be something boring.."
They spoke.
'An exam..?'
'I had a feeling that kwan jihu told me about this but... Oh well whatever, not like i have that much to remember.'
I thought as i vaguely remember a piece of my memory, but faded away.
"Alright then, Well have to finish our lesson from yesterday about mana manipulation, we have a test about this by tomorrow so all of you better study! Open your books of mana and page it to 247."
The teacher began to start hes lesson as he spoke.
I have already thought of a plan of mine right after my 3rd semester exam.
Even tho this school is quite legitimate, I have decided something that'll probably change me forever.
'After the exams, I'm going to visit my parents.'
I thought.
Actually this is a part of my plan, Not much of the main.
Suddenly, A bell from the school rang repeatedly.
"Alright class, Remember, we have a test tomorrow! Study while you can."
The teacher shouted loudly, loudly enough to make the students hear him.
Eventually, All of the students began to walk out of the classroom, seemingly to go to their class groupings.
I began to move and take my bag aswell, going out of the classroom and eventually walking through the hallways.
I sighed deeply.
'I'm gonna miss my friends and events in this school, I don't really have a choice anyway.'
I began to stare at the front yard of the school through the window.
The beautiful hue of sunshine rays from the sky.
The roses from the yard glim in sparkles.
I lowered my eyes for a little bit and sighed.
'I'll tell them... tell them that I want to transfer to a different school.'
I thought as i felt a feeling of slight sadness as i made my choice, glimming in the rays of the sunshine in a depressing way.
'2 months and more.. and a lot of events pretty much happened even tho it wasn't that long.'
'I guess time really crosses it's own paths.'
