Chapter 20: Confronting Her
"Phew..."
Only after the fight ended did Kalon realize just how much his heart was racing.
In just the past couple of days, he had already been in two fights.
He definitely wasn’t a stranger to violence. It’s just that usually he was on the wrong side of it.
Now, he had not only punished bullies on Venduros, but he had also punished one of his own bullies.
I wish I got to speak to him afterward and make him apologize... though I guess the sight of him after I broke his ribs was enough.
After the fight, no changes had happened to Kalon’s system. However, he felt like he had gotten closer to the next rank, which was Low Silver.
Of course, to break into the Silver ranks, he would need a Silver Pill, but he suspected that his handy system would give this to him as a mission reward soon.
Speaking of missions... Josinia is waiting for me.
More importantly, her body is waiting for me...
Like always, he found himself daydreaming about Josinia’s breasts and how they had felt in his hands.
Being so inexperienced, he used to have to rely on images he had seen online in order to understand a woman’s body.
Now he had direct access.
Even better, she was an alien woman!
"You fought well."
Kalon’s body stiffened as he was drawn from his lustful thoughts.
A female voice had come from somewhere on the rooftop.
He turned to see a figure sitting dangerously on the railing. One wrong slip and she would fall to her death.
Her hair was blue and tied into a bun, keeping it well out of the way of her soft, beautiful face.
Her blue eyes were piercing, and she wore no expression.
She wore the school uniform with a black skirt, revealing perfectly plump thighs above high white socks.
Her chest protruded a decent amount where her tender breasts sat.
Kalon’s eyes widened as he looked at her.
"Thea...?"
Thea Bluegale remained seated on the railing with no regard for her safety.
She didn’t meet Kalon’s eyes.
"I only came here to assess the situation. We can’t have students dying on campus," she said.
Kalon considered the woman’s words. At first, he wanted to smile. Wasn’t she here to keep him safe?
But then he realized something.
"What if I didn’t die?"
Her brows rose slightly.
"What do you mean?"
"What if I didn’t die, but they beat me up and spat on me like they always do?"
Thea seemed to be stunned silent for a moment. Her mouth opened slightly.
"I... I don’t quite understand what you’re talking about."
"Yes, yes you do. If I got to the rooftop and was only bullied and not killed, would that be fine?"
The blue-eyed beauty stared at him blankly. Usually, she seemed to be someone who had every situation under control.
Now, she seemed stumped. She honestly did not know what to say.
Kalon didn’t know where this new confidence came from.
Perhaps it was because he had just won a fight and punished one of his bullies.
He didn’t want to disrespect Thea, but he wanted to call out her illogical ways.
Eventually, she finally spoke.
"I’m... not certain if I would have just watched if you were bullied. I don’t know what I would have done."
One of Kalon’s brows rose.
"So you’re saying that you would have helped me?"
"..."
"Perhaps," Thea Bluegale replied, still not looking at him.
Kalon let out a sharp laugh beneath his breath as he made his way over to his usual spot and lay down to look at the stars.
"Okay, next time I’m bullied, I’ll be looking over at you for help."
Afterward, he remained lying there in silence.
His heart was beating fast despite his calm act.
As for Thea, she hopped off the railing and began making her way down from the rooftop.
Before she left, she said one more thing.
"It doesn’t look like you need the help anymore... Something’s changed about you."
Then she was gone.
...
Kalon stared up at space and allowed the Space Seducer System to drag him to Venduros.
He was looking especially forward to it this time.
If Josinia went through with her plan, he would arrive at a location he hadn’t seen before.
I’ll finally get to explore more of Venduros.
Kalon closed his eyes and allowed the system to do its thing.
...
When he opened them again... he found himself in darkness.
"Hmm?"
Kalon looked around. It took a while for his eyes to adjust.
When they did, he immediately became worried and realized where he was.
The metal bars in front of him were the only clue he needed.
This... This is a prison!
"K-Kalon... Is that you?"
Kalon turned around and saw a figure sitting in the corner of the room, shrouded by the shadows.
She was purple-skinned, dressed in her maid dress that was now slightly torn.
Her white hair was now messy and fell over her face in damp curls.
"Josinia?"
