From Ruin to Reign Leander's Unbreakable Will novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325 Of the Top Five, I Know Three

“Top Ten Campus Beauties? What’s that?”

Leander shrugged, wearing an expression of complete ignorance.

Nathan and the others exchanged glances, clearly finding it hard to believe.

“No way, Leander!” Nathan spread his hands. “Are you serious? You don’t even know the Top Ten Campus Beauties? Are you really a student at Highcliffe University?”

Leander remained unfazed, shaking his head lightly.

“I honestly have no idea what the Top Ten Campus Beauties are.”

He had only been at Highcliffe University for a single day, during which he had merely crossed paths with Nigel, Daphne, Ethan, and Christopher. How could he have heard of any Top Ten Campus Beauties?

The three of them looked at each other, their expressions resigned, as if admitting defeat.

Nathan pulled out his phone and quickly navigated to a page on Highcliffe University’s forum.

“Leander, look at this.”

He held out the phone, pointing to a post.

“This is the latest Top Ten Campus Beauties list at Highcliffe University.

“The list just came out yesterday, and it already has over five million views. More than a million people have checked it out!”

Leander glanced at the screen without taking the phone, clearly unimpressed.

Nathan’s expression twisted with a mix of confusion and disbelief when he saw his reaction. He had no choice but to explain further.

“Leander, these are the top beauties of Highcliffe University. Even if you’re not interested, isn’t it worth taking a look?”

Leander gave a faint smile and nodded, offering no objection.

The four of them walked together, talking as they went. Nathan’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he began introducing the list to Leander.

“Let’s start with number ten of the Top Campus Beauties,” he said.

“Her name is Amaris. She’s a freshman in our college, though not in the same major–she studies Agronomy. Rumor has it she’s from a prominent Highcliffe family, and all the professors treat her with extra respect.”

Nathan’s hands gestured animatedly as he continued.

“Number nine is Bianca. She’s a freshman like us and graduated top of her class at Hollowford Central High. She’s this year’s top humanities student in Hollowford. She made a name for herself the moment she arrived on campus. And get this–she could choose any major she wanted, but she skipped Law and Political Science and went straight into Architecture.”

Nathan leaned closer, lowering his voice slightly.

“Her family isn’t wealthy–everything she’s achieved is through her own hard work. That’s why people call her the self–made campus beauty.

“Number eight is Luna Lovette, a sophomore from Tiberran, I think. She has that sharp, high- bridged nose and piercing blue eyes you often see in the borderlands–absolutely striking. She’s tall too, around 5’9“, almost 5’11” in heels. Slender, graceful, with a commanding, queenly presence–she exudes that confident, take–charge aura you can’t help but notice.”

Nathan’s voice carried admiration as he went on.

“She’s been at Highcliffe University for over a year, and she’s never been linked to any guy. Always poised, always composed–she’s the kind who could run a household someday. Honestly, she’s my second target after Bianca.”

Leander’s expression remained unreadable, completely disinterested. Nathan frowned but pressed on.

“Number seven is Rowena, a junior. I heard she’s the daughter of the Marlowe family from the eastern outskirts of Highcliffe. If I’m right, she’s Theron’s sister.”

At the mention of Theron, Luke and Evander’s expressions shifted subtly. Sensing the tension, Nathan waved his hand quickly.

“Number six is Seraphine Larkspur, another freshman. Her background is… mysterious, and she got in through a special admission. She’s in Finance now.”

Nathan’s voice dropped to a mix of awe and excitement.

“She’s a stunning, icy beauty, and rumor has it she’s skilled in combat. A freshman tried to get close to her the other day and got taken down without effort. Ever since, hardly anyone dares to bother her.”

Nathan picked up his phone again, scrolling further down the list.

He paused for effect, lowering his voice to a near whisper.

“Rumor from her dorm says she already has someone in her heart… just not sure if it’s anyone from Highcliffe University.”

Nathan noticed Leander touch his nose, a subtle sign that he might actually be paying attention. A smirk tugged at Nathan’s lips as he continued.

“Above Yvette, there are two more absolute stunners. Honestly, they’re in a league of their own.

“Number two is Eira Valence, the eldest daughter of Highcliffe’s elite Valence family. From birth, she accompanied her father, Ronan Valence, to all sorts of business events. By the time she was just a few years old, she was already sitting in on major corporate meetings. At fifteen, she was helping her father manage the Valence family’s Farreach Group. At eighteen, she skipped her senior year and got a special early admission to Highcliffe University. Now she’s a sophomore in Finance and practically on the verge of earning a PhD.”

Nathan’s eyes sparkled as he leaned closer.

“Eira isn’t just brilliant and business–savvy–she’s dangerously beautiful too, the kind of face that could topple empires. But unfortunately for the rest of us, she’s off–limits. At eighteen, she was already engaged to Tycen O’Brien. Across Highcliffe–or even all of Astria–there aren’t many heirs who could compete with him. Who would dare try?”

“Eira Valence?”

Leander’s eyes flickered. This woman occupied a small corner of his childhood memories.

Seeing Leander finally react, Nathan was just about to announce the number one beauty when Leander suddenly raised a hand.

“The first place is the Florian family’s princess, Daphne, isn’t it?”

Nathan blinked in surprise, then grinned mischievously.

“Leander, I knew it. You said you didn’t know the Top Ten Beauties, but you’ve clearly been

keeping tabs secretly.

“Honestly, with your charm, Leander, catching the attention of a few campus beauties shouldn’t be a problem. Forget the top five–we’ll leave those aside. The remaining five? I think you’ve got a real shot.”

Luke and Evander glanced at Leander knowingly, as if to say, We get you.

Leander smiled faintly and shrugged.

“I may not know much about the Top Ten Campus Beauties… but out of the top five you just mentioned, I know three of them.”
