Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

Chapter 241- Kuudere Returns! (Part 1)

"So there are two areas in this city? Student area and non-students area?" Acht asked as he looked ahead of him at a massive wall at least 30 meters tall made out of stone.

It had a massive gate with two giant doors made out of iron and wood. Many guards were standing in front of it and letting invited people pass. It was a procedure to stop anyone who isn't allowed to enter from sneaking in and doing whatever they want in a place where many important figures are living.

"Yes, many people come here to take the test and they most of the time fail so they live in the non-students area for a whole year till he could try another time. This could go for years and years." Leislet explained as they reached the gate.

The queue was obviously long and by the look of it, it could take hours of waiting before they could pass. Acht sighed under his breath thinking of the boring hours he will have to pass standing and doing nothing.

Besides, the looks he garnered from the students around him made him even more displeased. Especially, girls, they made him feel like a piece of juicy stake with mashed potatoes.

Scarlett smiled seeing his frown and said as she touched his cheek and rubbed it gently.

"Don't worry, my cute Acht. We ain't going to wait."

The boy was confused at first but still nodded his head nevertheless.

Then, she pulled out her phone and called someone none of the three people with her knew. She said a few words and then hung up. Her amused smile widened when she saw how confused her companions are.

A few seconds later, 3 guards came running toward them as fast as they could. Their faces were pale and their eyes widened in shock as they looked around searching for Scarlett and her group.

Scarlett lifted her hand up to call for them.

"M-Miss. Scarlett. It's our honor to meet you here. Please come with us." One of them said in the most respectful way possible.

Scarlett nodded her head and then peeked at Mia and Leislet with a triumphant smile. She had shown how useful she was to Acht while these two watched silently.

"You are not the only one who has connections, bitch." Leislet muttered as she clicked her tongue in frustration.

"I will break her legs," Mia said to herself.

Then, the two followed behind Acht and Scarlett to another area near the wall. There, a small door could be seen with a few guards standing beside it.

The group passed through that door after a respectful greeting from the guards.

"Who did you call?" Acht whispered to Scarlett.

Scarlett also whispered back.

"A friend of mine." Her response was as mysterious as it could get.

The group found themselves in a very different part of the city. Behind those walls, it was not that bad or slum-like but when compared with the student's area, it is basically worse than a trash can.

The streets, buildings, hell even the sky above them, suddenly became clearer and even more beautiful. Such a drastic contrast made Acht shake his head.

'Discrimination at its peak.' He thought to himself as he sighed. As much as he wasn't a big fan of this attitude, he understood why it was like that.

Commoners and renowned figures can't simply live in the same conditions. How can they? After all, kings and clan leaders would kill the supervisors if they find out that their sons and daughters were treated like normal people.

"I ca-" As Acht was about to say something, his eyes fell on a person walking with two bodyguards behind her.

She was the same age as him so her face and demeanor changed since the time he saw her. But, how can he forget her face even after 5 years?

Coincidentally, the girl looked back too and her pupils immediately widened when she saw Acht. Her mouth hang open as she tried to say something.

However, what came out instead was a tear. She tried to wipe it but instead, more tears came out like a gushing hose.

"A…cht?" She muttered as she dropped her sword and started walking toward him.

Her steps were wobbling and her face was still in disbelief trying to discern whether this was a dream or not.

When she reached him, she took a long look at his face as if she was trying to care it into her soul before it vanishes.

"It's been a while… Tania."

When Acht uttered those words, Tania finally lost it and started crying before she jumped on him and hugged him with her four limbs like a monkey.

"Acht… hick… Acht… Hick…" She kept muttering his name as she tightened her hug around his torso.

'She changed a lot in terms of looks but she is still the same inside.' He thought as he tapped her head gently.

The girl kept crying and crying while the others around them looked at her in shock. Especially the bodyguards, they had never seen their young lady talk let alone cry and show such intense emotions. It was akin to seeing the sun rising from the south.

After 10 minutes of pure crying, Tania finally calmed down and climbed down from Acht. However, she still kept her hands around his neck and rubbed her cheek on his face.

"Acht… Miss you… A lot." She said with the same difficulty she always had.

The past 5 years were hell on earth for Tania, she tried to search for Acht with all of her power but couldn't find him at all. She lost the desire the eat, speak or even show any reaction similar to that of humans. Her whole being was crushed and her soul lived in constant torment.

Hell, the only reason she came to this academy was to search for Acht in a last attempt before she ended her own life. Living in torture is not something a human should experience.

Acht knew this so he treated her gently and tried to let her calm down.

"I am sorry for not contacting you… The past 5 years were kind of hectic." He said.

"Mmm." She moaned in response to his words.

"I… searched… found nothing… I was… sad… Cried." Her response was still filled with stutters from the long crying.
