Chapter 27 Unique Junior (1/2)

The next day.

Just like any other day, the first thing Sheila did when she wakes up early in the morning was to go outside and do a routine running. When she came home, she immediately went to the bathroom, and before taking a bath, she does the usual pushups and squats. Only when she finished it with sweats all over her body did she submerge herself in the bathtub filled with warm water.

Even though it was hard to get used to such routine for a girl like her but she couldn't do anything about it. If she didn't do it, she would get the punishment of being sent to the Penalty Dungeon.

She doesn't want to be chased around by a massive scorpion in a hot desert, after all. 1 Although she could gain tons of experience there if she could kill it, now it is not possible for the current her.

That is if her enemy there was only a gigantic scorpion, what if there was another huge monster there? Or rather, does the penalty dungeon followed that notion? What if she would get tortured in there instead? Please, I am not a masochist.

No matter how tempting it is, she could only hold it back for now. Once she has enough strength, she would take up the challenge.

At school cafeteria during lunch.

”Hey, did you hear the rumor about a goddess in the sophomore year?”

”You mean, the girl who got a high score in academics and also good at sport?”

”I also heard that her beauty rival that of the Top 10 Belle in this school!”

”Man, seriously?! When did we get such a unique junior in our school?”

Boys of the same culture club would always have a topic for them to talk. One of them tried to tone down his voice into a whisper, but the other guy gives no poo about it and speaks out loud.

But they are not the only group that was talking about the 'unique junior'. The other tables were also whispering about it to one another. But only one table was quietly eating their lunch while disregarding the surrounding.

”You really didn't care about such rumor, aren't you?”

”...”

Sheila quietly eats her lunch. She doesn't need to give her response to her childhood friend since she already knew the answer to that. While she didn't say anything, she was still staring at the girl in front of her.

Should she give the key to her? If she did, she doesn't need to keep her secret anymore. The person she trusts the most is her, after all. They had gone through hell and dirt together ever since they were still a small little toddler.

She even feels guilty for keeping a secret from her, but her rational thought stopped her. Even if Ria doesn't betray her or anything like that, she won't have a normal life anymore the moment the key was in her hands.
