Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353 Chapter 82.2 - What the heart sees

"We need to talk."

Just as I was about to enter the training grounds, I sensed someone's presence before me. The voice wasn't exactly familiar, but it was a voice that I still remembered.

"...."

Turning my head to the side, I saw silvery hair first – a silvery long hair. And then, my attention was captured by the beautiful face structure, with slightly long eyelashes and slim lips.

"It is rude to look at someone like that." The voice continued its words.

"Is that so?" Words came out of my mouth naturally, looking at her bright blue eyes. There was a sharp glint in those eyes, unique to someone who had the innate coldness inside themselves.

"It is."

She was the student who shared the first rank with Victor. A future powerhouse of ice if nurtured well.

Seraphina Frostborne.

"I see," I replied and shrugged it off. Whoever the person before me, I did not care too much. Whether something was rude or not depended on the person affected, and I had no control over it.

This argument somehow sounded hypocritical, but there was no one to reprimand me for that fact, so I was all safe.

As I was just about to walk further, in the corner of my vision, I saw Seraphina's mouth twitching. It seemed she disliked being ignored.

"Didn't you hear me?" She asked, her voice a little bit grumpier now.

"I did. That is why I had reacted, hadn't I?" I replied as I walked further away.

"Do you call it reacting?" She somehow sounded furious. Her words contained certain emotions, and they reminded me a little bit of Irina. But then again, Seraphina was someone who didn't act as rashly as her counterpart. She instantly took control of her emotions.

Not bothering to look back at her, I said: "Well, what would you call it then? Seems like a reaction to me."

Seraphina's cold gaze bore into me for a moment longer before she sighed, the frustration evident in her voice. "We need to talk."

"Why?" I asked. I already knew what kind of person this girl was. Even though she may act high and almighty as a noble should, she wasn't someone to let go of things. This was the typical way of acting for nobles, and she was not an objection to that rule.

"You will understand when we talk."

"I will understand when we talk. Why should I do that, if I don't know the reason?"

At my question, she made a surprised exclamation. Her face showed clear signs of a lack of understanding of this matter.

"Because I am coming to you?" It seemed like in her world, if she came to someone, they must accept talking to her. That made sense, considering how it should have been for her in the past.

The heir of Frostborne family. One of the strongest magic noble families in Arcadia Dominion, one of the six pillars.

An incredibly beautiful girl that would make the person feel like their eyes are feasting.

Facing such a person, it was understandable why people never refused the offer to talk.

But for me, these qualities didn't matter. If I had wanted to entangle myself with this bothersome woman, I would have already done so from the moment I came to the academy. I had plenty of opportunities to do so.

But I didn't, since she was a rather troublesome person to deal with. Just like Victor and Lilia.

"So?"

As I raised my eyebrows, her stupefied face was worthy of taking a picture.

'It is a pity that she would freeze me to death if I were to do such a thing.'

Sadly, even now, with all the things I have under my arsenal, direct confrontation with Seraphina is impossible. A monster is a monster, after all.

"You....." She released a sigh. "I knew you would be different, but who would have thought that you would be this edgy."

"You are free to think whatever you want."

"I see." Seraphina raised her head, seemingly realizing something. From the look inside her eyes, it seemed she made her choice. "If you are going to act like that, don't blame me for being rude."

"Hmm?" Somehow, her words triggered a response in me. It was an instinct I knew, the instinct when things weren't about to go as I wished.

"Should I just reveal your strength to the academy?"

The moment her words left her mouth, I raised my eyebrow. I am already quite an expert at giving these types of reactions, and I am pretty confident in the control of my body. There was just zero possibility that I would give a hint about my reactions.

"I don't know what you are talking about," I replied.

"Ahahaha..." A faint laugh left her mouth, somehow feeling 'amused?' by my response. "Why are you hiding your strength, I wonder?"

I maintained my composure, refusing to show any sign of concern at her threat. "I'm afraid you've lost me. What strength are you talking about?"

She regarded me with a skeptical gaze, clearly unconvinced by my feigned ignorance. "Don't play dumb, Astron Natusalune. You know exactly what I'm talking about."

I shrugged nonchalantly. "If you say so. But I assure you, I have no idea what you're getting at."

Her lips formed a thin line, betraying her frustration. "Fine, if you want to play that game, be my guest. But just know that I'm certain about my assessment, and there's no room for mistakes. I will report this matter to the headmaster, and let's see if you can stay hidden even after that."
