Chapter 659 S-Class Badge
After further consideration, Elise added another sentence. ‘Put out the bait to catch the big fish.’
Julius immediately understood. ‘Understood.’
Two days later, Elise returned to the dormitory to pick up her things after class. Mica was practicing calligraphy. After they greeted each other, Mica immediately began to sigh.
“What’s wrong?” Elise asked in concern.
“When will I finally receive guidance from QH of the Calligraphy Association if I continue practicing like this?” Mica asked dejectedly.
Elise leaned over to take a look. Mica’s words were not distinct, but they were clean and graceful. They gave off a delicate and exquisite vibe.
“I think they look great,” Elise commented objectively.
“Thank you, Elise. I know you’re just trying to cheer me up.” Mica put down her brush and sat back in her chair. Then, she looked up at the ceiling in despair and said, “I know my own abilities. But, with these chicken-scrawl-like words, it will be difficult for me to even join the school’s calligraphy club, let alone Tissote’s Calligraphy Association.”
Elise mulled over those words for a bit. Then, she turned around and returned to her desk. Taking out a gilded badge from the accessories in her bag, she handed the badge to Mica. “Here. Take this.”
Mica was stunned for a moment. Her eyes lit up immediately after taking a good look at the badge. She got up excitedly and took the badge. “Isn’t this a badge from Tissote’s Calligraphy Association? So, you’re a member of the Calligraphy Association, Elise! But why is your badge golden? I’ve seen the badges of other members. They are usually blue or silver…”
“Uh… This is the color for prospective members.” Elise came up with a random excuse. “In any case, you have the badge now. Then, when the Calligraphy Association holds an exchange meeting, you will be able to join in and learn some tips from the members there.”
“Is this okay?” Mica asked cautiously.
“What’s wrong with that? The Calligraphy Association is just a gathering of people who love calligraphy. And, you really love calligraphy. So, just take it as though you’re attending an open class. It’ll be fine,” Elise said lightly. “This badge was given to me by a friend. So, I’m sure there won’t be a problem since she gave it to me. But, it’s a waste not to use this badge.”
“Alright then! Thank you, Elise!” Mica happily accepted the badge.
The badge was so ingeniously and exquisitely designed that Mica even wore the badge when she went out on her date with Sebastian. It was not for showing off. She simply felt that it was very beautiful. More importantly, it matched well with her outfit today.
Unfortunately, it was clear that Sebastian failed to notice the bright little spot on her outfit. He was acting like a stereotypical straight guy as usual. Not only did he keep a distance that was neither too far nor too near from her, but he was also too embarrassed to be too direct even though he tried to hold her hand.
At a specific corner in the school garden, Sebastian moved even further away from Mica when they bumped into Tiana, who was walking toward them. Nevertheless, Tiana immediately saw through their relationship at a glance. She swept a deep and meaningful glance over Mica. Sebastian sure isn’t picky.
“Sebastian, your girlfriend sure is adorable.” When Tiana uttered those words, she deliberately smiled without showing her teeth. Her smile made her eyes curve and become as beautiful as crescents. Compared to Mica, she stood tall and looked down on the other party.
Mica was immersed in the sweet feelings of love and being praised. Therefore, she overlooked the deeper meaning behind those words.
On the other hand, Sebastian felt a subtle change in his heart. He loved Mica for her naivete and cuteness. Even so, no man could resist being tempted by a woman like Tiana. A sense of humiliation struck his self-esteem, and he suddenly did not want to admit that he and Mica were dating for some inexplicable reason.
“I’m showing Mica around our school,” Sebastian said, pretending to remain calm.
“Okay.” Tiana nodded knowingly. It was just that her face all but wrote her mocking thoughts on the subject. Suddenly, her expression changed when she saw the gilded badge on Mica’s clothes. Isn’t that a badge from Tissote’s Calligraphy Association? Ordinary members and senior members have blue and silver badges, respectively. This golden badge… is an identification only for S-rank members! Mica is an S-rank member of Tissote’s Calligraphy Association!?
