AUTHOR'S REINCARNATION IN A FANTASY SETTING

Chapter 86 Rooftop [5]



"I wonder what will happen if I showed this book to the teachers? Doing this kind of thing is strictly prohibited and against the rules so, I think expulsion is the least punishment you all will get. And here I'm even not counting what will happen when the news will reach the Rosenberg family," said Zero before he closed the book.

"Give me that!" Seiren shouted as she jumped at Zero, trying to grab the book from him.

Zero quickly stepped to the side, dodging Seiren completely. This was an impulsive attack from her side and was not a well-planned one, hence it was as good as nothing.

Seiren glanced at Zero, her eyes were narrowed she was furious. "Both of you, leave her and capture him!" she commanded.

"But Seiren, won't she escape if we did that?" Wrena was the one who asked this.

"No she won't, you idiot! As long as we have her weakness she can't go anywhere."

After being roughly denied by Seiren, Wrena along with Alada left Ellyn's hand and leaped toward Zero.

They went for his arms since then it will be easy to immobilize him and steal the book. They aimed at him with full speed but Zero calmly dodged them by moving swiftly left and right.

"Well, well. We don't need to fight or anything, if you simply leave us alone then I promise, I won't tell the teachers about this," Zero suggested while he keep dodging them.

"Not happening!" Seiren bellowed as she utterly refused him. Then along with Wrena and Alada, she also dashed toward him in order to pin him down and take the book.

"What a waste it is then. I mean, you can't take this book from me even if you try all day long."

He was faster than them and avoiding their attacks was no problem at all. It was probably due to his rank being higher than theirs. The three of them were class A students but their scores were not that great, it won't be wrong to assume their ranks were somewhere around D or E.

"Ah, this is a pain~" Zero mumbled. He was not enjoying this cat-mouse game at all.

"Wha—"

A scream left Seiren's mouth when Zero suddenly hit her legs with a kick and she fell down. Then he held Alada from her hand and twisted it to her back, he came before her and bent her knees by pushing them forward with his own, he made her lay on the ground as well.

Wrena suddenly stretched out her hand and launched a punch at his back. Turning around quickly he held her hand with his right one, "Tch!" Wrena clicked her tongue and tried to pull her arm back.

She forcefully rotated her body on the right side to throw Zero off but after moving along a couple of steps with Wrena's spin. He stopped all of a sudden, he drilled his feet into the floor, and shifting the center of gravity upon himself he spun his body leftward.

The two motions aligned and Wrena was pulled with extreme force. Completing half a rotation he smacked Wrena to the nearby wall. Her head hit the concrete behind and she coughed blood. When Zero released her hand, she slid down and sat on the floor.

2 minutes after Wrena and Alada first attacked him; all three of them were on the ground.

"See? I said you can't take the book from me," he stated.

Then he moved toward Seiren, bending his knees and sitting down in front of her he said, "Now will you leave?"

His position was somehow arranged in a way that Seiren was clearly able to see his eyes. Those golden eyes...when she stared directly into them, it was like she remembered them.

Like she had seen them before, but where? For a while, she stared endlessly without uttering a single word, and then she remembered. She was not sure but there was only one person she had seen with similar eyes.

"Y-You bastard!" Alada was up on her feet again and was about to attack Zero from behind. Though—

"Stop!" she was stopped by Seiren.

Seiren then stood up, all while looking at Zero's blank face. Along with her he also rose to his feet.

"Why are you stopping me now?" asked Alada in a frustrated and confused voice.

Without looking in Alada's direction she replied, "We had our fun, let's go for now."

"But…"

Alada wanted to say something else but then reflecting on how Zero easily dealt with the three of them, she didn't voice her thoughts.

"Ah, damn it!" Wrena cursed as she stood up and held her head. There was no blood but she was having a headache now.

"You, can I believe that you won't rat us out to the teachers if we leave now?" Seiren asked, pointing at Zero.

"Yeah, isn't that what I said before; I won't."

"I see...…you two, come, we should leave now."

Seiren asked him just out of formality, in reality, she already knew that being here will be of no use. She wasn't sure of this but, there was this feeling lingering inside her that she had been used.

This obviously angered her since she was the one to use people, getting used was not a thing she was fond of. But for now, leaving was the best choice. After all, if the one who used her set the stage for this, then he must've also planned for every situation possible.

A minute later, Seiren, Wrena, and Alada left the room and the rooftop. Now, Zero was alone with Ellyn.

He turned around and looked at Ellyn—who was now sitting on the floor, covering her breasts with her hands.

He picked up her blazer from the ground and handed it over. "T-Thank you," she said as she grabbed the blazer from him.

He was originally going for the shirt first but after looking at the state her shirt was in, he decided otherwise. Just like this, he also passed Ellyn her skirt.

"Get changed, I'm looking the other side," he suggested and then turned around—facing a wall.

Ellyn then slowly stood up and wore her clothes. The shirt was missing hence she button up the blazer fully so her inners won't be revealed. Then she adjusted her hair and wiped the tears off her face.

"I'm done," she stated.

Zero turned in her direction and after making sure that she was dressed up, he asked, "Are you fine?"

"Yeah, pretty much," she replied as she wiped the blood on her lips. "I'm sorry you had to see me in such a state, but…thank you for saving me."

"No please, you also saved my sister so paying back the favor was nothing. I'm glad you are fine," Zero responded with a smile.

She was not conveying it in words but only she knew how thankful she was to Zero right now. She remembered him and his sister very well, a part of this was because after that incident she was talking with Anya a bit, along with Leon.

"Well then, if you'll excuse me. I guess I'll have to buy a new shirt and do some other things also."

With that, Ellyn stepped forward and began to walk toward the door as she adjusted her clothes and hair once again. However—

Suddenly she was not able to move, someone was holding her hand tightly, and obviously, it was Zero. She turned around to see why he was doing this and then.

"Who said you can leave just like that."

Ellyn felt a chill throughout her body. The smile on Zero's face was completely gone, his face was devoid of any emotion and his dead fish-like eyes were staring at Ellyn.

The vibes he was giving off were completely different. It felt like he was not the same person who saved her a minute ago.
