385 Chapter 63 - Third Sester (2)
Trill finally stopped slamming against the wall, but her body remained dangerously close, her sharp eyes boring into . The usual playful gyaru vibe she had was gone—replaced by sothing fiercer, more intense. It was like she had completely transford. I could practically feel her anger radiating off her, though I had no clue what I'd done wrong. Didn't I just fulfill her wish of finding a perfect mate by beating her in a fight? That was her criteria, wasn't it?
"I don't accept the result," she hissed. "That's why I need to know if you really defeated fair and square. I need to know if I was truly beaten."
Her eyes narrowed, burning with a mix of frustration and sothing I couldn't quite place. I swallowed hard. "Uh… okay? But how?"
"I want you to fight again," she said.
Fight her? She wanted another duel. My mind raced. What the hell was her deal? Wasn't the fight during the physical exam enough to settle this? Apparently not. Trill's pride was in her blood—her clan was famous for being kings of the jungle, rulers of the beastkins. And she was their princess, after all.
It must've been the fact that she lost to —the weakest of all the students—that she couldn't stand. It probably gnawed at her, bitter as hell, and that's why she wanted a rematch. She had to know if I really deserved that win, if I'd truly fought her fair and square.
"What's in it for ?" I asked.
As far as I could see, there was nothing for here. This was all about her. Not only would I be wasting my ti, but I'd also be signing up for another chance to get hurt if I agreed to this without sothing in it for .
She looked away the mont I asked, and her cheeks flushed a deep, fiery red.
"T-Then... I'll be your mate," she stamred.
"Mate?" I asked again, pretending not to have heard her right. I knew exactly what she said, loud and clear, but I wanted to make sure.
"Ugh! Didn't you hear the first ti?!" she snapped, her voice rising as she grabbed my collar, yanking up off the ground effortlessly. I hadn't put up any resistance, so it was easy for her. "Listen when I talk! I'm not repeating myself!"
"O-Okay, okay! I'm sorry! I should've listened the first ti," I said quickly, hands raised in surrender.
She turned her head again, clearly embarrassed, her mouth pouting and cheeks burning even brighter as she mumbled under her breath. I couldn't catch it, though.
"I-I said I'll be your mate…" she whispered, almost too low to hear.
"Uh, sorry, I can't hear you unless you say it loud and clear."
Her eyes flashed with anger. "I said I'll be your goddamn mate!" she yelled, glaring at . But the mont she realized how loud she'd been, she quickly looked away, her face turning an even deeper shade of red.
"Mate?" I repeated "Wait, does that an you're gonna be… mine? Sorry, I don't really get beastkin culture."
She groaned in frustration. "Ugh! You know what I an! Mate! Make babies! You humans call it a sex partner, right?! That's what I an!" Her face was practically glowing at this point, redder than ever, and honestly... she was kinda adorable.
She finally let down, releasing her grip as I landed back on my feet.
"But that's only if you defeat again," she said. "So, how about it? Don't you think this is a good opportunity to have ? I know you, Leo. I can sll the scent of different won clinging to you every day. I know you're having sexual relationships with three of the professors here, and I've seen your eyes land on more than once. You're planning to add to your little collection, right? n in our clan have many won, so I don't think it's an issue if you want to add to the bunch."
She was serious—laying all my dirty laundry out right in front of like that. I couldn't even argue with her. The way she confidently put it all on display told she wasn't ssing around. I guess I had no choice but to accept her challenge. Besides, her offer was sothing I couldn't just walk away from. This was an opportunity I couldn't pass up.
"Alright then," I said, eting her gaze. "I accept the challenge."
"Deal." She extended her hand, and I took it.
We sealed the deal right then—another duel was on.
"We'll do it in the gymnasium after class. Don't be late," she said.
"Got it," I replied, watching as she turned and walked back toward the classroom.
I stayed there for a mont longer, leaning my back against the wall as I processed everything. A small chuckle escaped .
"What do you want?" I said, my voice echoing down the empty corridor. I couldn't see her, but I knew she was there, keeping tabs on from the other side. She'd been spying on us the entire ti, peeking and trying to eavesdrop like she wasn't obvious.
She didn't respond. Instead, I heard the faint sound of footsteps running away. I wasn't about to let her get away that easily, though. I bolted down my corridor, turned a corner, then cut through another one until I reached her. She didn't even realize I'd outmaneuvered her until it was too late.
"Why are you running?" I asked, blocking her path.
"Eek!" Her eyes went wide, pure shock plastered across her face. It was the sa girl who had been tailing before. I didn't know what she wanted, but she clearly had an agenda.
"W-What are you talking about?" she stamred, trying to play dumb, but it wasn't convincing at all.
I pulled out my phone, showing her a picture. "While I was talking to Trill earlier, I noticed soone sticking their head out, watching us. So, I snapped a picture for fun." I smirked, holding the phone up so she could see the photo of her caught mid-spy.
Her whole body started trembling when she saw it—no more hiding now.
"So, why'd you run?" I asked again.
