The SSS-rank Guide Doesn't Need Saving novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Using Other’s Hand to Beat Someone

"Get your smelly foot off the table, Reign," Vesper snapped immediately, shoving the chair back with a loud scrape behind him."

"Or what?" Reign sneered, tilting his head with a mocking expression. "Gonna cry to your professor again like last time?"

Vesper’s forehead twitched, veins protruding from how much he was already holding back. He hadn’t cried last time. But telling that to this bastard would only make it look like he was guilty.

The fight before was stopped because Kane couldn’t allow him to fight anyone before the examination day was over. And he was already on the academy’s list of mischief. It only ended because Sabel went looking for their professor, who was nearby and quickly stopped their fight.

But Reign had been singing about it as though he had actually won that day.

Vesper scoffed at his face. "Already forgot who broke your nose back then?"

The two of them began arguing. It was clear this wasn’t their first class with how the students didn’t try to mediate, but pushed their seats slightly aside and remained sitting as if they were in it for a front-row view.

Between the two, Vesper proved to be a more annoying opponent.

Then, Reign’s gaze shifted, landing on Aisha.

His brows lifted in surprise before a mocking grin spread across his face.

"Wait a second. Aren’t you that useless D-rank guide everyone’s talking about?" He looked at her carefully this time and nodded. "It really is you. You’re the one who hanged herself at her own younger sister’s birthday party."

Suddenly, the target shifted to her.

Aisha stared at this man with furrowed brows. She was trying hard to remember him, but nothing came out. It seemed he wasn’t some important character in her memories.

"Don’t involve her in our argument, Reign." Vesper tried to shield Aisha.

However, Reign completely ignored the warning in his voice. "I heard you also got demoted from the top class. It seems to be true by the way you’re hanging out with these people. Then... is it also true the prince no longer wants you? Is that why you were desperate for attention and tried doing that to yourself? Ha, such dedication. But the prince won’t want you anymore. He must be looking elsewhere and spending his time with someone much better."

"You piece of—"

Vesper tried to lunge toward him, but Sabel quickly stopped him.

Reign smirked at Vesper and Sabel before leaning against the table with his hands on it while staring at Aisha. "Tell you what, if you have nowhere else to go, why don’t you come with me instead? All you have to do is a little begging. Ask me nicely to make you my woman, and maybe I’ll reconsider it."

Despite the insulting words said to her, Aisha kept a perfectly straight and calm face. Her gaze moved from Reign toward the balcony of the second floor, where several students were spectating.

Of course, she didn’t miss Irene and her former classmates, watching from there as well.

But Aisha focused on Irene.

Irene must have wanted her to react as she did in the past. And with everyone present during lunch, this place would become the perfect stage for Aisha to further ruin her face in front of everyone.

Her schemes sure do run deep, she thought.

Aisha had a guess on how Irene was making everyone move as she wanted. But she was still unable to decipher to what extent and how long she had been doing this. Naturally, she was also very curious why Irene wanted to cross her older sister so much that she was willing to destroy their peace inside their home.

But none of that matters right now.

"Enough." Kane stood up from his seat as well. "Reign, watch your mouth. She’s still Prince Soren’s fiancée. Do you really want the royal family hearing about this?"
