Chapter 33: Why Are You Laughing?

Sophia had planned to go to the academy café with her friends to drink coffee and chat.

However, she had not expected to run into Rein halfway there, talking to someone furtively.

During their conversation, he had produced a box she could not forget.

Sophia instantly stared at the two of them without blinking.

One of them panicked at once when they saw her and ran off.

Rein seemed to sense her gaze and slowly turned back to meet her eyes.

The moment Rein saw Sophia, he immediately tucked the box in his hand into his Magic Ring.

Then he glanced at where that person’s shadow had vanished and cursed under his breath.

“Damn it, damn it, damn it!”

“Not even a brother? You really pick your moments, I’m beginning to think you set this up with Sophia.”

Rein coughed twice, turned around, and continued walking toward the Mage Tower as if nothing had happened.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and Sophia had already blocked Rein’s path, staring at him intently.

Rein kept up the act of being unbothered and tried to walk past Sophia.

Just as he was about to step past Sophia, she grabbed his arm.

“Rein Gray, can you explain the box you had in your hand just now?”

Sophia’s eyes flashed with fierceness.

Their actions instantly caught the attention of Sophia’s friend, Anna Mitchell.

Anna watched the two of them with interest from the side.

Rein continued to pretend, coughing twice.

He patted Sophia’s hand, finally managing to pry her grip loose.

“Huh? What box? There’s no box in my hand.”

“The box just went into your Magic Ring,” Sophia replied coolly.

Rein broke character, looked up at the sky, and took a deep breath.

Then he turned to Sophia with a smile.

Sophia thought Rein was about to talk about the box, so she narrowed her eyes, showing her seriousness.

“Sophia, those pink and white striped underwear you’re wearing today are very tasteful.”

After saying that, he didn’t forget to give Sophia a thumbs up.

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

Sophia looked at Rein’s infuriating grin and raised thumb, and she felt her battle qi surge to her head.

She was momentarily unable to act.

Anna really could not hold back her laughter: “Hahaha, I can’t take it anymore, hahahaha.”

“Rein, you really are a genius, hahaha.”

Hearing Anna’s laughter, Sophia finally snapped out of her daze.

“Rein Gray!”

“You cad! You pervert!”

She suddenly drew the sword she wore at her waist and swung it at Rein.

Obviously, Rein did not want to take a direct hit from a Rank 2 Intermediate Knight’s furious strike, so he quickly used teleportation to dodge.

Meanwhile, Anna was still bent over, clutching her stomach as she laughed.

“Hahaha.”

Sophia’s attacks came like a tidal wave, never stopping for a moment.

Although Sophia was enraged, she still relied on years of muscle memory training to unleash various sword techniques.

Fortunately, Rein’s teleportation was skilled enough that he handled it with ease.

Rein suddenly appeared beside the laughing Anna.

“What are you laughing at?”

He raised his hand and cast a Whirlwind Technique.

In an instant, he lifted Anna’s skirt.

Revealing the bear-print underwear beneath.

Anna said, “Eh?”

The sight before them stunned Sophia, and she stopped attacking Rein.

“Oh? You have a good sense of taste too, bear prints, huh~,” Rein said, raising an eyebrow at Anna.

Seeing Rein’s shameless face, Anna instantly blushed and pressed her skirt back down.

“Ah! Rein Gray! I’m going to kill you!”

Anna took out a long whip from her Magic Ring and lashed at Rein.

“Teleportation.”

Rein calmly dodged it, then quickly bent down to avoid Sophia’s sword.

Seeing the two of them determined not to stop until they had killed him, Rein hurriedly ran toward the Mage Tower.

“Rein Gray, you stop right there!”

“I’m going to kill you!”

Rein ran ahead with the two women chasing behind him.

The once peaceful morning campus erupted into chaos.

Both women were Rank 2 in strength and fast enough to match Rein’s speed with his constant teleportation.

“Huh? Isn’t that Sophia and Anna? Who are they chasing?”

“Rein, of course… who else in the academy could piss Sophia off like that?”

“What did Rein do this time? My two goddesses are so crazy!”

Students heading to their respective colleges within the academy looked at the three curiously.

However, the three moved so fast that hardly anyone could keep up.

Before long, Rein teleported to the Mage Tower.

Combat was prohibited inside the Mage Tower, so reaching it meant a temporary escape for Rein.

The two women glared at Rein inside the Mage Tower with fiery eyes.

As the academy’s little witch, Anna was thoroughly angered by Rein.

“Rein, if you have the guts to stay in there, just wait until I catch you, and I’ll give you a haircut!”

Meanwhile, Sophia simply stared at Rein.

Unable to bear the two’s gaze, Rein turned and followed the magic teacher scheduled to teach that day up the stairs.

The two women watched Rein’s retreating figure, grinding their teeth.

“Sister Sophia, has he always been this shameless? He’s completely shameless.”

Anna sheathed the long whip in her hand and complained to Sophia.

A faint look of reminiscence appeared in Sophia’s eyes.

She then let out a helpless sigh.

“Ah, no, Rein used to be savage, like a magic ore on the brink of explosion that would detonate at the slightest touch.”

“But now, he’s lost the violent edge he once had and instead become extremely lecherous and shameless.”

“Alright then, let’s head back; we still have class soon.”

“We can deal with him later.”

Sophia sheathed her sword as well and turned back toward the Knight Academy.

Anna squinted at the Mage Tower for a moment before turning to follow Sophia’s footsteps.

“Sister Sophia, shouldn’t we wait here and watch him? What if he runs off after class?”

……

Time passed unnoticed, and when the sun climbed to the very center of the sky, it signaled the arrival of noon.

After finishing his class, Rein did not rush out of the Mage Tower.

He feared that Anna, that little witch, was waiting outside to ambush him.

He waited in his room inside the Mage Tower for a while before gradually making his way downstairs.

He looked out from inside the Mage Tower.

Rein did not see any sign of Sophia or Anna.

Only students were coming and going in all directions.

“It seems they’re not staking out the entrance for me.”

Feeling relieved, Rein stepped out and walked toward the academy gate.

Just after Rein left the Mage Tower, someone sitting on a nearby bench pulled out a communication scroll and spoke something.

At once, Anna, who was eating with Sophia, sensed something.

She took out an identical communication scroll from her Aetheric Device.

“Miss, Rein has come out of the Mage Tower and is heading toward the academy gate.”

The two women who were eating instantly put down their knives and forks and rushed toward the academy gate.

But Rein was already prepared.

Ever since he left the Mage Tower, Rein felt increasingly uneasy.

That little witch Anna wasn’t staking me out?

This made the usually alert Rein feel something was wrong.

He continuously teleported quickly toward the academy gate.

Soon, Rein arrived at the academy gate and boarded a carriage.

As soon as he got on, he saw Sophia and Anna hurrying over.

They wore looks of reluctance on their faces.

Rein mouthed something at the two of them, then got into the carriage.

The two women rushed over angrily, already furious at not catching Rein.

Rein’s mouthing just now made them even more mortified and angry.

Rein’s mouth clearly said:

“Bear prints and stripes are both very tasteful.”

He still wore that infuriating grin.

The two women felt as if their lungs would explode with rage.
