Chapter 77 Angelica Ernest II (1/2)
Angelica POV
”My name is Angelica Ernest, and I have been living abroad since I was a child. I didn't know much about the culture around here, but please treat me well.”
After introducing myself, I put up a smile on my face which caused the boys in the classroom to get even more riled up. While the teacher was trying to calm down the boys, I let my gaze wander around the classroom. Whenever my gaze land on boys, they will blush and try not to get in contact with my eyes. As for the girls, they glare at me as if trying to kill me with their eyes. I have long been used to this kind of chaotic atmosphere, one of the reasons why I don't go to school.
If you think that my grade is terrible due to not attending school, then you are wrong. Born from an influential family, I have gone over many private schools and even hired to teach me at home. Due to my special status in the family, I don't have much freedom back then. I have to do this and learn that, I have to do everything so that I won't shame the family. But ever since my mother has taken place within the higher circle, I have gained a bit of freedom.
And because of my mother's influence, I have somehow got my hand on the artefact. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
I thought that I would be able to relax a bit when I get back home, but later on, I was sent back here to check if there's anything abnormal around here. While I'm on my way here, I also visit my friend from The Church. I try to probe her, in case she knows something about my mission, but I get nothing and almost get purified by the girl instead. Although I have known her since little, I still feel wary of her due to the people around her. Whenever I looked into their eyes, my instinct alarmed me repeatedly, as if I was not staring at human but monster.
Because I was so scared up until now, I have never told anyone about that. No wonder my mother told me to be careful around them, I wonder if she knows? But it's weird that I didn't feel anything like that when I spend my time with that girl. Even now, I can only feel pureness and innocent whenever I looked into her eyes.
Anyways, among the thing I have to do for the mission, one of them is transferring to this school. I don't even know why I have to, but the mission told me so. I have also asked my mother, but she's currently busy with something else, I couldn't do anything but went along with it. While my eyes wandered around the classroom, I came across a person who seems to have the same aura as someone in the same circle as me.
My gaze stopped at her, and my hand subconsciously move toward my waist, but there was nothing there. I have forgotten that I didn't bring the artefact to school because I couldn't hide it anywhere. While I was staring at the black-haired girl, the girl stares back at me without any hostility but pure curiosity. I wonder, did she not realise that I was in the same circle? Or did she simply act like she didn't know? Either way, she's too suspicious.
Before I could let my gaze wander around more, the teacher finally gives up and gesture me toward an empty seat which I thought probably for me. I bow my head in gratitude to the teacher before I walk ahead toward my seat. While I was on the way to my seat, I passed through one particular girl and suddenly felt as if I was electrocuted my whole body. I didn't look back but just walk forward and only when I sat do I look at the girl who I walk passed.
It was another girl, yet this one didn't have anything worth her attention other than her beauty, but there's no mistaking the feeling she had at that moment. It wasn't something like falling in love or anything but literally like getting electrocuted. No matter how she looks at the girl, she appears to be a regular student, nothing else. But it's also possible that she hide her actual strength, it's not really that unthinkable if you met a real expert in the same circle. Most of them prefer living normally in the mortal world without using their power.
She knows about it because she had once come across such weirdo. It was back when she didn't have the artefact and was chasing after a monster when it dashes into the alleyways. She ran after it and saw something shocking; the monster was throwing its punch toward who she thought was a homeless old man. She panicked and ran toward it as fast as she could, but she knows it was already too late.
But what happened next shocked her to this day. The homeless old man who she thought was weak and about to get crushed by the monster suddenly disappeared on his spot before reappearing back behind the monster. Her eyes went wide at the sight of the monster who has fallen and broke into pieces, she looked at the homeless old man but didn't see any weapon in his hands to accomplish such a thing.
I thought I would be killed by that old man back then, but thankfully he is not like the other arrogant expert that I had heard about. I still remember how frightening the aura surrounding the old man when he slew the monster to pieces. Actually, I was unconscious when the aura hits me; it was too powerful for me who was still weak. When I woke up, I was already in my bed, and my mother told me that a kind expert sends me home.
When the teacher was focused on his teaching, I asked the boy next to me, and while blushing, he told me everything.
