I had successfully cleared the first meeting without saying a word to Rain. The second one was during martial arts class. Just like before, it was a sparring session. The opponent was chosen from class attendance list by the instructor at the start of class. That meant I wouldn't be able to escape the fate of being paired with Rain.
I did not want to lose on purpose, that would hurt my own pride. Then, should I pretend to have a stomachache or something? Just when I was about to lose in my own thought, my name was called.
"Clarissa Edelrose and Rain Barnett. Then,.." said the instructor, reading list of pairs for today's sparring.
Suddenly, I felt someone was looking at me with a murderous gaze. I did not feel it during the first playthrough. Who was it? When I glanced around trying to identify the person, the last two names were announced by the instructor.
"Lilia Augustus Arvis and Erwin Euclase. That's all. Now, paired up!"
Lilia Augustus Arvis? If I remembered correctly, the fur cloak prince name was Hart Augustus Arvis. Wouldn't that make Lilia Augustus Arvis his sibling?
I felt that gaze was getting stronger. It came from behind me. I turned around and found the pink haired princess. I did not realize we were classmates! She was looking at me with much hatred in her eyes.
"Unfair....it is so unfair!" said the princess to me.
"Huh?"
I had no idea what was this princess even saying. Unfair? Who was? What was?
"Your opponent...that's unfair..."
"Rain Barnett? What is so unfair? I don't understand."
"Well, I....I..also want to....."
The pink haired princess' face was getting red. She did not even spill her reason yet. If she did not say it clearly, how could I understand her?
"You see.. Uh... I...What I mean is....switch with me!"
Switch with her? Oh! Maybe she meant that her opponent was too strong for her and me, who was known as the Hero's daughter, got the weak Rain for the opponent. That must be it.477Please respect copyright.PENANAQVmqQTdUr7
Whatever her reason, this situation was so favorable for me since I had no idea how to stay away from Rain in this situation. So, I had no reason to refuse her.
"Sure, let's switch opponent."
Then, we went to the instructor to inform our intention to switch opponent. Surprisingly, the instructor gave his permission without asking anything. Then, I went to spar with Erwin Euclase. He was indeed stronger than Rain, but I managed to defeat him just as fast.477Please respect copyright.PENANA94mDU26Mge
This session too, I managed to not involved with Rain and Oliver.
