Stalker?

After purchasing her swimsuit, they eat at a family restaurant, where she orders her favorite combo meal.

"Pasta with orange juice."

Meanwhile, his favorite dish, adobo, does not exist in this world, so he cannot order it from any restaurant.

However, he can have a piece of meat with rice.

It took a few minutes before they began to eat.

He did not expect rice to exist in this world at first because every novel he had read before required the main character to embark on an adventure in order to obtain at least a sack in another country.

Rice was previously exclusive to Imperial Han Country.

Academy City is a floating city in the middle of the sea that was previously reserved for those conducting research and pursuing an education degree.

However, when Academy City became a legitimate city where citizens could live, the majority of the residents came from Imperial Han Country, which is the closest country.

Today, half of the citizens are of Imperial Han descent, so it appears that most people here prefer rice due to the established culture.

Looking at her brother eating rice with chopsticks, she could not help but feel strange.

"When did you learn to use chopsticks?"

"Uhm… I am on a diet and learned from a classmate that using chopsticks can help you avoid overeating, so I decided to learn it."

It is a straight-up lie right here.

"That makes sense because I normally eat like this, but still..."

She senses something, but she is unable to put her feelings into words.

Eventually, she gives up and continues to eat their lunch.

…

"So this is the female's dormitory huh…"

When he arrives at the front of the female dormitory, a housekeeper approaches him and take the bags.

He was about to avoid them because he did not know them, but then he realized that this is normal because the woman is her sister's personal maid.

Unlike the male dormitory, which has a few general housekeepers, the female dormitory has its own maid for each female student until they graduate from SGKS.

It is very biased towards females, but what can he say?

According to his knowledge of world history, females are typically stronger than males.

It could have something to do with the goddess who created the Holy Era, but that bias is now widely accepted.

Anyway, after chatting for a while, they said their goodbyes because it appeared that she needed to go somewhere.

The only reason she came here first was to secure her bags.

"See ya!"

She waves her hand as she walks away, and when she disappears, he begins to walk home.

…

On his way back to his dormitory, he had the impression that someone was looking at him.

"Is it my imagination?"

To be sure, he decided to go somewhere isolated to confirm his feelings.

The sky is already orange, so there are no people in this part of the park right now.

He was about to sit on one of the benches when he felt an unexpected intent.

Fortunately, he has good reflexes and was able to see that a wooden sword was about to hit him.

He immediately stepped back to avoid the attack.

"Who are you? Why are you going after me?"

A black-haired girl is pointing her wooden sword at him.

Alex suspected that Alex Hambell had done something to her, but he could not recall anything.

However, if he did, he should apologize.

Before he could say anything, the girl spoke.

"I do not know who you are, but please step back."

Then she dashed forward, intending to land her wooden sword on him.

Alex wanted to stop it with his hands, but he changed his mind when he noticed the mana had been imbued into the wooden sword.

When he evaded the attack, the wooden sword landed on the ground, causing a small crack.

"As long as you promise to end your relationship with her, I will stop this nonsense."

"What are you talking about?"

Alex has no idea what the girl is talking about.

Is she really trying to kill him for reasons he does not understand?

With his previous life knowledge, he can understand what she was saying, but they are in the middle of a fight, and his mind is more focused on her movements, so he cannot understand what she was saying.

"Hey can you—"

He wanted to talk to her first, but she attacked him again, and as the helpless person, he dodged her slashes without breaking a sweat.

The girl frowned as she noticed how easily he dodged her attacks, but it appears that she is not taking this seriously, so when she speeds up, Alex realizes what is happening.

Their movements are currently invisible to ordinary people, but they are equally fast.

However, neither of them is taking the matter seriously, and both are becoming aware of this.

"Hey, can we stop here? I have no idea why you are attacking me, so let us talk first."

The girl paused, and he sighed with relief that she was finally willing to talk, but he was mistaken.

"At this point, I am not concerned with my initial reason. I have got a new reason. I wanted to defeat you."

"Huh? Wait! I am not—"

She attacks him at full speed once, but Alex easily avoids the attack.

At this point, her initial reason is irrelevant.

She wanted to defeat this man out of pride.

Slowly, her speed increases until she reaches her maximum speed, but Alex can still dodge her slashes without breaking a sweat.

Her pride is slowly crumbling.

Almost no one can defeat her, so why can he easily avoid her attacks?

She does not want to do this, but she has used body enchantment magic to boost her speed and strength.

Alex noticed this, but all he could do was sigh because the only way she could be stopped was if she ran out of energy and mana.

She decided to pierce him instead of slashing him, but it was not enough, so she combined the attacks but could not do anything else.

Using attack magic is not an option for her right now because this location is still public, and she does not want to see a larger hole created by her magic.

Piercing and slashing are useless, so she throws some punches and kicks to surprise him, but she is unable to hit him.

'This sly kid!'

She wanted to regain her pride, but the longer the battle lasted, the more she felt helpless to do so.

After a few minutes, she eventually gave up.

"Can we talk now?"

Despite her apparent sadness, Alex decided to take the initiative and lead the conversation right away.

After all, it is better to end this problem early.
