Chapter 3: Advice of Lyre

"Lyre, why are you even here? You're not here to just interrupt me, right?" Ryzel asked, looking at his friend, whose face showed that he still had a lot of things in mind.

"Of course, I'm here to interrupt you," Lyre said without remorse; he was even showing a proud face.

"As a friend, I'm here to advise you regarding your love life," Lyre continued.

"Hah, advise me. You, Lyre?

If I recall correctly, you are not even in a relationship.

So, how can you advise me? "Ryzel pointed at his friend in disbelief.

"Hmph, even if I am not in a relationship and don't have any actual experience, I watch and read a lot of romantic movies and series.

I also watch a lot of people who are in relationships.

So, of course, I know a lot compared to you! "Lyre answered back with a pouty face.

"Okay, I know," Ryzel immediately admitted, because what Lyre said was somewhat true.

Lyre's favorite was watching a lot of romance dramas, and he was also very involved in different gossip floating around.

Unlike himself, who mostly stayed in the laboratory, most of Lyre's time was spent watching others or playing around.

He continued, "So what do you want to say?"

"Ry, you are known as the most beautiful guide in the academy.

Even though you are cooped up in your laboratory and don't participate in any events, your ranking as the number one beauty in the academy remains the same.

When you remain silent without putting up a serious facade, you appear quite gentle.

And when you smile, you become very charming."

"Oh, thanks for the compliment! I know I'm very beautiful! "Ryzel smiled, showing how attractive he is.

"That's not the point, Ry!"

"Okay, then, what is it?" Ryzel asked, puzzled about what Lyre wanted to say.

"You're very capable, and your personality is also very strong."

"Isn't that a good thing? "Ryzel asked.

"Ry, you're very intelligent, but when it comes to your emotions, you are very dull.

Don't you know that most sentinels want someone who is not only beautiful but also gentle, kind, or weak that they can protect? "

What Lyre mentioned were the general characteristics of guides.

Because of their physique and talents, most guides have a mild temperament.

"Oh, are you sure you are mentioning that to me?

You don't even fit those personalities you mentioned," Ryzel pointed out.

Lyre was very outgoing, which is why they became friends in the first place.

"Of course, I'm not, but I'm good at pretending to be," Lyre remarked, putting on a weak and compassionate expression.

Coupled with his baby face and innocent eyes, putting on a weak expression looks good.

Ryzel looked at his friend with disdain.

He knew his friend was always using that kind of expression when he wanted to get what he wanted or to avoid being scolded.

"Hey! Don't look at me like that. I will give you examples for you to learn."

Lyre showed examples using his light brain to show different images.

"Look, you know that General Suno's guide is very capable, right?

But in front of his husband, she is very meek.

Our teacher in spiritual guidance is also very good and a little arrogant, but in front of her sentinel, she is very gentle.

My mother and sister-in-law also knew how to properly show their weaknesses to my father and brother when they wanted to solve some of their problems."

Lyre showed a lot of examples and summarized them.

"Ry, you are beautiful, capable, strong-willed, and independent. But having all of those without showing any weakness isn't good because most sentinels wanted to be relied upon."

"Hah? Doesn't that just mean that they don't have eyes? They can't even see how good I am. "

"Of course, everyone will agree that you are very good, but they don't want to be overshadowed by their partners.

If you look at our academy forum, you can understand it.

Most of the students voted you as the most beautiful and capable.

But for the most wanted partner, you aren't even in the top ten.

You're beautiful and capable, but coupled with your workaholic tendency, you are only ranked 15th in the forum.

I know a lot of sentinels can also appreciate our personalities, but most sentinels really want to find a partner who can rely on and care for them.

Ry, you also need to restrain your personality a bit in front of your future husband, or at least learn how to show your weakness in front of him."

"But Dwight isn't like most sentinels," Ryzel defended.

"Ry, I believe your future husband also liked the common personalities of guides.

Don't you know that your future husband is very close to your cousin, Sean, the one with a heart of gold in our academy? "

"Huh? What are you talking about, Lyre?"

"Actually, there have been sightings of Dwight and Sean being together since two months ago.

You do know that in our school, a lot of guides, especially sentinels, admire your cousin Sean.

Well, no one can blame them; Sean was really good at maintaining his personality.

I just wonder how most people in our school are blind and can't see his true face."

"Lyre, you're getting out of the topic," he nudged, wanting to get to the bottom of the issue.

"There was actually a rumor that Sean was going out with someone.

Starting two months ago, a lot of people said that they saw him with someone. Then last month, one of our classmates saw Sean with someone in a cafe.

He thought that the person with Sean was Dwight, so he told me about it.

He doesn't want to cause any rift in your relationship with Dwight, so he didn't tell you.

It's the same for me too, but I started following the rumors because of it.

I verified that the person with Sean was really Dwight because I saw them with my own eyes."
