Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336 Chapter 78.3 - Crossing Tables

Recently, Maya has been feeling troubled a lot. For some reason, the scenes she had heard at that time didn't leave her mind.

She had never considered herself an old-fashioned or conservative person. She was very open to ideas; she didn't dislike other people out of nowhere.

She was against those negative emotions. After all, she had grown up while receiving her kind-hearted parents' love. The values that were instilled in her when she was a child had never been something that she wanted to discard.

'Temperance against hardship is the way of nature and the way of Evergreens.'

She still remembered her mother's words. Though her relationship with her father was close, her father had shown a bit too much of a love for her, and it was her mother who had taken the position of teaching her in general.

But, now, something appeared. Something that had disturbed her peaceful life. Something that went against those values.

Her inner turmoil grew with each passing day, her mind consumed by the scenes that replayed in her head relentlessly. She couldn't shake the image of Astron and Sylvie dancing together, their movements graceful yet unsettling to her.

Despite her logical understanding as a mage and her past experiences telling her that there was nothing inherently wrong with their dance, something deep within her heartfelt conflicted.

Her feelings towards Astron had always been complex, a mixture of admiration, friendship, and something deeper that she couldn't quite put into words. Yet, seeing him with Sylvie had stirred up emotions she hadn't anticipated.

She felt a knot – a knot that refused to move down.

She felt something inside her rising – a feeling she wanted to suppress no matter what, something that she knew wasn't good for her image.

'There is no need to get angry.'

She tried to rationalize her emotions, reminding herself that the dance was just a dance devoid of any deeper meaning or significance.

She wanted to think that the junior she knew wasn't someone like this. He wouldn't randomly get close to other people.

'There is nothing wrong with being dance partners. Yes….There is nothing wrong with him touching other girls or being that close…'

However, her inner struggle was compounded by the realization that she couldn't easily dismiss those thoughts. Despite her best efforts to suppress them, they continued to simmer beneath the surface, refusing to be ignored.

And she wanted to talk to him, to get rid of these feelings. However, sadly, the academy had a new assignment for them, a practical project that required her to leave the academy. When she returned, she learned that her first years went to a mine, thus making it impossible for her to contact Astron.

However, she knew one thing.

'Junior always works out very early in the day.'

Therefore, she decided to look for him in his workout times. Waking up very early at 3 A.M., she even put a lot of effort into her looks, making herself look presentable.

Of course, though Maya was a girl who was innocent in terms of girly things, she had always received praise for her good looks, and this still didn't change.

And apparently, being a vampire was something that gave her a weird charm. Her already white skin got a lot whiter, and her figure became more seductive. Even the way she had walked had changed, with her body undergoing a transformation.

That was something that was apparently innate to vampires. Even her physical attributes increased, rivaling her mana and magic power stats.

Somehow, she became a strong-bodied mage.

In any case, under the snow, she was looking for her Junior. Of course, it was never hard for her to find him since she was always able to feel his smell of blood. It was as if she was connected to her somehow.

Somehow, this made her feel special in a way as well.

However, as she drew closer, her eyes widened in surprise. There, running beside Astron, was a girl she didn't recognize. Her short white hair fluttered in the wind, and a radiant smile graced her lips as she chatted animatedly with Astron.

Of course, from her side, she wasn't able to see Astron's mouth, only the girl's, but it was evident that they were talking.

'Who is she?'

Somehow, a weird feeling enveloped her heart. The same feeling of her insides burning, but a weird chill coursing through.

She felt cold. Her thoughts turned cold.

She couldn't tear her eyes away from the sight.

Lost in her thoughts and consumed by her emotions, Maya approached them without even noticing the presence of another boy beside the girl.

"Junior," Maya greeted Astron, her tone unfamiliar.

'Why is my voice like this?'

Even she was unable to understand how such a voice came out of her mouth.

"Who is this?" She asked, turning her gaze to the girl.

"Senior Maya." His voice was as calm as usual, without any feelings in them. But somehow, she could tell that Astron was relieved to see her. It was a subtle feeling that couldn't be put into logical reasoning. She just knew.

"Senior Maya…" The girl before her mumbled as if to contemplate Astron's choice of words. And then, suddenly, she raised her head, locking her eyes with Maya. "Are you, by any chance, Maya Evergreen?" And then she asked.

Maya locked her eyes with the girl before her, her expression unreadable as she processed Astron's acknowledgment. When the girl addressed her by name, Maya's demeanor shifted subtly, her tone turning chilly as she replied, "Yes."

The girl, Julia Middleton, smirked in response, finding the situation amusing.

'Hehehehehe….Look at what he we have here…'

She couldn't help but smile. Her intuition as a gossiper as well as a woman was telling her something. Something that she would never miss.

Maya observed her closely, her guard still up despite Julia's seemingly harmless demeanor.

"I am Julia Middleton, a freshman."
