Who is She? (2)

'Who is she?'

There was a lot of space left in the front rows where the majority of the female students were sitting, but she came to the last row and sat beside me.

Anyway, who knows? It's not like there's any problem with that either.

But I was curious. Strange rumors about me have already circulated on campus. I know who is spreading them. I didn't get involved with them as it's quite tiresome unless it will directly affect me.

If that is the case, then I will make a move before anything happens. Now I'm not the weak bastard I used to be. If the ranking were to happen now, then I would be at least in the top 200 even without revealing my sword art. Therefore, those morons can't even scratch a single bit of my hair.

It's a waste of time to ponder about them. I was alienated even more as a result of the rumors. Like being utterly alone. People aren't even sitting on the benches in front of me anymore. It was incredible to see her sitting next to me.

I was very curious about who she was. I peaked at her to find out who she was.

Hmm. It's not a familiar face.

'Have I seen her before?' I have no idea. I don't remember seeing her. Just leave it be.

"Huh? How boring. Tsk." She spoke.

'Well, it's an academic club, so it will be a boring one unless you're some kind of researcher.'

She then suddenly turned around.

"Huh?" I quickly adjusted my posture. She saw me peeking at her.

Why am I always getting caught at the wrong moment?

I was acting as if nothing had happened. I again turned to see what she was doing.

This time she was just watching me. Once again, I quickly turned away.

"Oyi, are you done with your peeking?" Or do you want to peek at me some more?" She said

"W-what? "No, I just looked at who was sitting beside me. That's it. Nothing else."

"Oh, in order to know who is sitting beside you, one needs to peek continuously, right?" She replied cheekily.

"Think whatever you want." Let her think whatever she wants. It's not like I have any good reputation that needs to be maintained.

Then she bent towards me.

"Did you have any crushes on me?"

Huh? What?

Who the hell is she? What is she talking about? From where did she get such a wired idea.

I kept a face of disbelief and moved away from her. It's better to get away from such crazy people.

"I was joking, of course. It's impossible not to notice the beauty sitting near you."

She went on.

"You know, it's not my fault that I'm attractive. What can I do to deserve to be born so beautiful? It's something I have to bear, no matter how painful it is."

I gazed at her in bewilderment once more.

I took a step back from her.

"You are creepy, you know that," I remarked as I stared at her.

"What? Creepy? Are you saying that to me? " She was in disbelief.

I turned away from her. I better not get involved with her. She appears to be a source of concern to me.

"You? How can you turn away when this beautiful lady is speaking? "

"Hey you, I'm talking to you."

"Hey, are you listening?"

Ssh. What is her problem? Why can't she leave me alone?

Can't she see I don't want to get involved with her?

But first of all, who is she? I didn't even know her.

"Hey you, Are you listening?" She kept babbling.

"What's your problem?" "Can't you see I'm trying to concentrate here?" I told her.

"What? Are you pushing all this on me now?"

"Isn't it you that called me creepy? "

"That's right. You look creepy, so I called you creepy. Got any problem with that? "

"You?"

She seemed visibly angry.

"First of all, who are you?" I asked her. This has been sticking in my mind this whole time.

"Ho, didn't I introduce myself before? Maybe I might have forgotten. My bad. " She smiled.

What is she? Is she acting like a fool, or is she really a fool?

"Ahem, sorry for my late introduction. My name is Sarah Faelynn. "

"Nice to meet you."

Oh, she belongs to the Faelynn family. No wonder there is no one with her. The Faelynn family also has another name, The Betrayers.

Faelynn was once hailed as the most prominent family in the human domain, and the family patriarch is regarded as the strongest human.

The enemies would shake with fear when they heard the name Faelynn. That is the kind of fear that they install in the hearts of their enemies.

Even in the most prominent families, things wouldn't go as they wanted. There are always a few pests that reside in the family, and because of whom the whole family will fall into disgrace.

The pests here are the patriarch's first sons. He lacked his father's skill and was always viewed in the shadows of his father, whose shoes he could never fill no matter how hard he tried.

He used to train regularly but showed no signs of progress. The world can be a brutal place at times. There is a narrow line that separates the person who already has skill, even if they don't try, and those who will never be able to reach success, no matter how hard they try.

Everyone used to make fun of him. The last thing he needed was to be compared to his father. He was unable to fully realize his potential as the strongest man's son.

He became greedy as a result of the pressure to gain power. He is willing to go to any length in order to acquire power. He became a victim of the demons who feed on greed at this point.

He betrayed humanity and joined up with demons for the sake of power.

Many lives were lost as a result of his betrayal. And the Faelynn Patriarch took it upon himself to execute his own son.

His rage towards the demons was uncontrollable. He went to the demons' location alone in order to eradicate them. Even the most powerful human has limits when confronted with such a large number, which ultimately leads to his demise.

But, before he died, he dealt enormous damage to the demons, resulting in their defeat during the first great war. He even murdered his own son, who had forsaken mankind prior to his death.

But many see this as a treason act of the Faelynn family, and the one who has always had friction with the Faelynn family wants it to disappear completely.

However, the Faelynn family's contribution to the struggle against demons over the years should not be overlooked. As a result, they were required to compensate all those who died as a result of the Faelynn family's machinations. "The Betrayers" became their moniker.

There weren't any powerful people like that of their patriarch, due to which they lost their property and became a normal family.

That is the story of the Faelynn family.

So this girl belongs to the Faelynn family ha.

Anyway, whatever her family background is, it's nothing to do with me.

"Hmm."

I nodded after she completed her introduction.

It's only proper to introduce yourself to the other person. So when I was about to introduce myself, she stopped me.

"Don't worry, I know who you are."

"You are David Foster, right?"

I nodded.

"There were all these weird rumors spreading about you."

I have become somewhat famous now, but not in a good way.

"Why did you come and sit beside me?" "If you were seen with me, rumors about you would start spreading," I warned her.

It was in her interest not to be seen with me. Please go away and let me have some peace.

"Haha. There is nothing to worry about that. It's not like I haven't been in this situation before, so I know how to handle these kinds of things."

Well, that's true. It's always difficult to get away from people when you've been labeled as Betrayers. It seems like I haven't noticed anything around me. She might be in the same position as me.

"I thought you would be lonely and came to cheer you up."

She is one heck of a foolish girl, but her heart is pure.

"You know, what you said now is way creepier."

"What? Y-you? I'm not creepy. " She kept babbling like that.

I left her like that.

Some time had passed, and I looked at my watch. It's been one hour since the orientation started, but it's not ended yet.

It's becoming more boring as time goes by. Slowly, sleep is taking over me.

I considered stretching my body before falling asleep.

"Huaaaam..."

Suddenly, a loud yawn filled the room. All the students started to look back. And I was there stretching my body. Everyone was giving me a disgusting look like they had seen some garbage.

But it's not me.

This fool, Sarah Faelynn, is sleeping soundly. Because she was not visible, I had become the center of attraction.

This stupid girl. I take back what I said before.

"Ahem."

William Weasley let out a dry cough before continuing what he was saying.

Tsk. I know that getting involved with them will only cause problems.
