I would have imdiately ignored this guy but as I have promised the kind Sir Jonas at the Student Admissions Office, I have to appear open to at least eting with the rich kids that started their classes today. The grandmaster also said that we have to show hospitality and I am sure I rember that eting people, having acquaintances especially n give you points so it's going to be a win-win for .
I just have to at least greet them politely and appear friendly, right? It is nothing new if we are talking about my job back on earth. I had to et clients and join company parties for the sake of superficial camaraderie so exchanging nas, smiling a bit and a little greeting is a piece of cake for .
I looked at him and gave a business as usual and polite smile. I then said, "Yes. I'm Luna, Ioannis' master. Nice to make your acquaintance, Vaughn." When I greeted him back, Vaughn seed to have turned to stone. He looked at and his face is flushed. Did I do sothing wrong? I looked at Ioannis' face seemingly asking for help in explaining what is happening.
Ioannis gave a helpless smile and then leaned to my ear to whisper, "He was shocked that you greeted back and even smiled at him. Won in this world are all aloof or snobby since they are spoiled from a young age. I guess he did not expect for you to be this nice.You're really beautiful when you smile too." He leaned back and smiled at again. I looked at him then furrowed my eyebrows.
When the other n noticed that I am at least polite to so degree and did not lash out when Vaughn tried to give his greeting, the other six n hurriedly approached to introduce themselves and give their greetings. I don't trust myself to rember any of them after today's brief eting but I tried to rember their faces and nas at least within the next few minutes or so.
To prove to you that I did my best, their nas are Elliot, Bryce, Henry, Frank, Carl and Aaron. Don't expect to point out which is which though out of the six n in front of .
After giving their brief introduction, they hurriedly returned to the place where they were standing a while ago. They seed dazed as if they witnessed a miracle. I can't help but chuckle at how n are seemingly too innocent and pure in this world.
I t Ioannis and Kayden in very different circumstances but when in public, they still seem to be shy when I take initiative to be more intimate or touchy which I find really cute. Let's also add to the fact that even the usual n you pass by at the market and commoners in general have above average looks, this world is definitely a paradise for won. The ratio of the number of n versus won is also amazing. It's like you can always go on window shopping, if you know what I an.
Ioannis initiated to hold my hand which is by the way, only the second ti he did so ever since we t. I looked at him and his face seed to be a little bothered by sothing. I curiously asked, "Hey, why is your face so gloomy all of a sudden?" He looked at and answered, "I'm not feeling gloomy. I'm just a little tired."
I smirked at him and when he saw do so, he looked away. I then teased him, "Well, alright. I wonder where the others are. It would be nice to greet all of them. I have 35 more n to et personally." I then released his hand and started to walk towards the exit of the practice grounds. I rember seeing his pale and stunned face when I released his hand and walked away.
I laughed silently at Ioannis. I was thinking, "That's what you get when you lie that everything's okay when it's not." After a few seconds of being stunned and him finally realizing what I just said, Ioannis hurriedly ran after and held my hand tight as if trying to stake his claim on . I wanted to laugh so bad right now but he may end up crying if I tease him too much. I knew he already felt jealous a while ago and that's just a brief exchange of greetings.
We went straight to the cafeteria to have our al. I wanted to eat quickly so I will still have ti left to take a quick shower and freshen up before the first class in the afternoon. I suddenly walked quicker with Ioannis in tow.
Once we got into the cafeteria, it was already half-filled with won and n. I dragged Ioannis to choose his al and I ordered mine as well. We looked for the most secluded table I can find and sat there. This will lessen the chances of n approaching while I eat BUT I was wrong. I totally forgot about the favorite motto of persistent people "When there's a will, there's a way".
About halfway through our al, I saw four n who seem to want to approach . You know they are planning to co to our table since the guy in front has been stealing glances at from across the cafeteria while talking with his companions for a few minutes as if he is gathering ideas and courage to approach .
They stood up and made their way to the table that and Ioannis are sharing. The man who seem to be the leader of the group cautiously asked, "Umm... Hello! My na is Youssef. My companions are Lorenzo, Oliver and Ben. Is it alright if we eat on the sa table with you guys?"
I slowly looked up and gave my polite smile as usual and introduced myself, "I'm Luna and this is my partner, Ioannis. Sure! You can sit on the unoccupied seats." I then looked down and continued eating.
Ioannis looked at intensely for so reason and I looked at him as if asking "What?". He simply smiled and mouthed, "Later" to . I thought they would try to get more information about by asking random questions or by trying to get closer but they did not.
They ate their als quietly and then left after they are done. It was kind of weird if I say so but I guess they are just trying to "test the waters" as to whether I was aloof or snobby just like how other girls are.
Once they left, Ioannis reached out to my side of the table and held my hand, "Master, you just thwarted that guy's advances unintentionally." I looked at him with furrowed brows and asked innocently, "What do you an thwarted? What did I even do?"
He chuckled and said, "You called your "partner". When you use that term, it may an that you have already accepted as a potential sexual partner or husband. It can also an that you already put on the top of the list of your choices to be your husband, concubine or lover. Well, they would never have thought that you already have two husbands since you have only been in this world for a few weeks. For most n, that is a jab on their pride. They won't easily accept being an option, a second choice or any number lower than being the first especially these people that were born with golden spoons."
I nodded with understanding. The first thing I thought was, "Of course they would never think that I already have two official husbands, one forced and four on pending status as of now even though I have barely been here for a few weeks." I giggled and smiled after that realization. It was Ioannis' turn to furrow his brows, not understanding what I was giggling about.
He then cautiously asked, "Did anybody from those 10 n we've t caught your interest?" I looked at him for a few seconds then looked away without answering. In my periphal vision, I saw his eyes widen. He held my hand tightly and asked, "Please... just tell . I- I'm not going to- It's fine if you want any of them. I will- get jealous but, I'll get used to it... Umm... Eventually..."
I looked at him and smiled. I spoke to him in a serious but coaxing voice, "I am simply greeting and smiling at them because just like the grandmaster said, we have to show hospitality. You said that won are usually snobby and aloof in this world but I am not from here so it's normal for to at least be polite to people. Not because I gave them a bit of my attention, I am interested in them or want them to be a potential partner."
He stared into my eyes, seemingly trying to see if I was telling the truth or maybe just coaxing him. I continued, "I will tell you if I find sobody who seem useful." I saw his eyes dim a little.
I know he hated it when I am vocal about only keeping useful people which was one of the reasons why I took him and Kayden in. I suddenly stood up and walked towards his side where he was sitting. Once beside him, I grabbed both sides of his face and lifted it up to face and kissed his lips. I let the kiss linger for a few seconds before releasing him. He was very shocked that his face was red and his eyes were misty and half closed.
I then just rembered that we are in the middle of the cafeteria. Oops. Since we were done eating, I told him to clear up the table and then hurry to freshen up for our shared classes this afternoon.
