Troublesome Encounters, Elly’s Concerns?

After a few minutes of traveling, Nero had now arrived back on campus, though he was a bit curious about the strange young man he encountered, because of his attitude, Nero didn't want to pay him too much attention.

Of course, Ryo was at a typical distance behind him, playing with his phone as the duo made their way towards their classroom. It didn't take long for others to notice them, but as expected, most of them had their eyes on Nero.

A few girls were whispering strange things as they gave Nero a star like look, one of them even worked up some courage to walk over, but as if she saw something, she hurriedly fell back, not daring to move further.

At this time, Nero frowned as he noticed that cutting off his path to class was his Ex-Friend, Kailyn, who was staring at him with a new look, a gentle and refined image that she had not shown him in a long time.

"Nero, you're early today, shall we go to class together?" Kailyn asked in a sweet tone.

Her friends looked at her in surprise; they didn't think she'd suddenly act like this out of the blue.

Nero shook his head at this scene; he didn't know what she still wanted from him when she was the one who terminated their friendship.

"Is there something you need, Kailyn?" Nero asked in a cold tone.

Kailyn knitted her brows at those words and clenched her fists tightly; she was about to say something. However, Nero took a few steps forwards brushing past her shoulder along with Ryo as his voice trailed behind in her ears, "It seems that there's nothing, please excuse me, I have to hurry to class, us 'spineless folk' don't have the leisure of wasting time."

As Nero left this area, a few of the girls looked at Kailyn's ugly expression as they shook their heads, saying nothing, many of them were there when she had said those things in the past. A few of them even gloated at her as some whispered amongst themselves while leaving.

"Hehe, serves her right, I never did like her, does she think she can get with Nero simply because she's pretty and talks nicely?"

"Hmph! She doesn't know her place; I feel she even thinks of herself as the number one beauty on campus. Ha, she should go look in the mirror, how can she compare to our new transfer student?"

As more and more harsh words tried to beat down Kailyn's psychology, Kailyn gritted her teeth and stared at the girls with a cruel look.

This look caused many of them to freeze up and quickly scamper off in a hurry, even though they spoke harshly, that didn't mean they didn't forget about her family background.

Kailyn then shifted her eyes to the direction Nero went off, her mind exploding as she thought to herself while biting her lips, rubbing her legs together as if she was feeling hot and bothered, "Nero... Nero... what I want I will get? You hear me. You will never have a day of peace so long as I don't have you! As for that bitch, I'll get to teach her a lesson tomorrow!"

As Kailyn said this, her breath grew unsteady as though she didn't want to admit it, Nero had a pretty good look today, making him seem more handsome than usual.

Kailyn looked around before hurrying off to the girl's restroom. She needed to clear her 'burdens' before class.

Not even carrying about that bothered beauty a distance behind him, Nero was now within the hallway. He was about to reach the classroom, but at this time, Nero noticed two fellows leaving his class.

One of them was the person he hated the most in the entire school, as the other was his right arm, always acting in concert with the actions of the former.

"Velmon Marfield..." Nero coldly muttered under his breath, his eyes shining in a sharp ray as he was unable to forget the scene of his mother kneeling,

Adult Nero also had a similar icy look, but he frowned as he thought, 'Odd, I didn't pay attention yesterday, but now that I look at him, this Velmon... why did he dye his hair? Is this a butterfly effect?'

Adult Nero was confused; he recalled Velmon's hair being of a different color, now it was pitch black as his pupils remained purple.

Velmon noticed Nero, he looked at him and smirked as he spoke, " Nero Valstine… it's good that you're in big spirits, isn't it a beautiful thing to have endless possibilities? We can both strive for a greater future, together..."

As Velmon said this, he went towards the classroom marked as A0. This class was known as the most prominent class of each year group, only the best and most elite would be sent there.

Even if one had the most excellent academic records and athletic skills, they would still need to have a certain level of societal standing to step within its boundaries.

Nero looked at Velmon who left with Jason, after staring at him for a while he shook his head not bothering about him, though he was a bit upset a while ago, the fact didn't change that it was partly his fault for his mother kneeling in the first place.

'Hmph! It seems as if he's trying to end our grudge, I'll least humor him for now and let it go, but one day I'll have their family apologize to my mother, that is the only way I can be appeased,' Nero thought before entering the classroom.

As for Ryo, he stared at the direction Velmon went, shaking his head as he followed Nero.

Benson snorted as he saw Nero, but didn't do anything, it seemed that he had learned his place after receiving that last beating.

The two then took their seats, but even so, the classroom seemed to be in some commotion.

Elly, who was early today, was surrounded by a bunch of female students that spoke out loud about something that happened previously.

"Elly, how do you know Velmon? I hear that he's from that Marfield Family. They are huge group; such characters aren't so easy to interact with as you can see, he's even in the topmost A-Class," Kara asked with flashing eyes.

"Yes, that's right? I've heard a lot of rumors about them from my parents. They are apart of the UEG..." Clair said with her innocent expression.

A few other girls also made curious looks, as they recalled Velmon coming to speak to Elly just now before leaving.

Elly shook her head at this as she replied, "Oh, he's just a friend I knew from my elementary school, we aren't really close, and I don't really pay much attention to his family..."

"Oh, no wonder, then it makes sense now," Clair said with a smile, as a few other girls showed understanding looks.

Kara, however, had a fake smile on her face; her eyes shone in a cold ray when she thought to herself, 'Hmph! Lying little bitch, I bet you look down on us just like them, and all those other rich folks. Such an obvious lie won't be enough to fool me...'

As Kara said this, she hesitated a bit preparing to text Kailyn. However, right at this moment, Kailyn had entered the classroom.

Once Kailyn appeared, the atmosphere changed as some girls gathered near her while the others around Elly didn't pay her much mind.

Kailyn snorted at this, as she and what remained of her lackeys went towards her seat, the two parties minding their own business.

Looking at the scene, a few of the guys couldn't help but gulp, as they didn't think the subtle war between women could be so indicating.

Yet, though it seemed like war, Elly wasn't even paying attention to Kailyn. She didn't even know that the latter hated her guts, as her thoughts were on her conversation with Velmon.

'There's going to be Grand Event between all the new rising talents of the DU and other associates? Such a thing, why didn't mother and father tell me of this? Are they preparing for something big?' Elly thought to herself for a while, but she couldn't find an answer.

By now, she recalled that she was speaking the girls, she was about to say something. However, she noticed that Nero was relaxing at his seat, with his feet on the desk. His eyes and attention focused on the scenes outside of the classroom.

'This fellow, he came without even saying a greeting, humph! So much for me worrying about his state after such a savage defeat,' Elly thought while giving Nero a bad look.

The girls noticed this and smirked, thinking Elly was interested in Nero. Clair, the most innocent, spoke with a smile as her eyes brightened, "Elly, are you interested in Nero too?"

Elly was a bit alarmed by this; her face turned red in embarrassment as she replied, "I... I am not!"

However, though Elly said this, she did indeed find him appealing, especially when he stood on the stage with a bloody figure after suffering defeat. It had roused a few strings in her heart, she wasn't sure what she was feeling at that time as she had fallen into a slight daze.

Clair and the others giggled at this, but Kara merely rolled her eyes and spoke in a soft tone, "Liar..."

Elly thought she heard something, she looked at Kara and was about to speak, but the door once more opened and Miss Garnet appeared.

"Good morning everyone, it's such a wonderful Friday, come on, let's hurry and start class. I'm sure you all have plans for this afternoon..." Miss Garnet said with a smile, today she was dressed in slightly looser clothing and wore more makeup.

'Looks like she's out dating again...' All classmates thought to themselves, but no one dared to point it out. Moments after, everyone arranged themselves, as the classes for the day had begun in full.
