Chapter 405: Unfair

Fortunately, neither Regina nor Liu Ying were that angry after Bloed told them that he had decided to make Aya his girlfriend.

In fact, the two of them had already accepted Aya since long ago. When Aya put her life in danger to protect the unconscious Bloed during the incident with the Heart of the Forest, Regina and Liu Ying accepted her as Bloed's girlfriend as well.

Actually, instead of Regina and Liu Ying, it was another person who seemed dissatisfied.

"It's unfair!" Gina shouted with an angry face, her silver eyes looking at Aya as though she was her enemy. "I can't allow it! I met my hero much before this cat! I have to be the third!"

Bloed did not know whether to laugh or to cry. This girl was as lively as always.

Aya, however, looked at Gina with a victorious expression.

"I win."

Immediately, the honey-haired girl turned livid.

"You thieving cat! My hero! I'm going to be your girlfriend as well! Come, give me aMmph!"

Before Gina could finish talking, her big sister covered her mouth as she looked at Bloed with a helpless expression.

"Sorry about this, my lord. I will talk with my sister later."

"Don't worry about it, Sara. Everybody here knows how Gina is."

"Sister, why are you stopping me!?" Gina hurriedly escaped from her sister's grasp and looked at her with a dissatisfied expression. "Ugh, it's already bad enough that you don't help me to attack my hero, but now you are stopping me as well God, how am I supposed to succeed with this burden!? Sigh... As expected, I'll have to attack my hero at night Mm, after sealing the deal, he will surely take responsibility."

Bloed was speechless.

Even though Gina's whispered the last part of her sentence, every person here was relatively powerful. They could hear her clearly.

"Little Gina, whose boyfriend are you planning to attack?"

"Huh? Sister Liu Ying? Did you hear that?"

"What do you think?"

Gina flinched and looked away with an innocent look.

"Sigh this girl" Liu Ying did not know whether to laugh or to cry and the other girls put on strange expressions.

Even Sara was ashamed after hearing her little sister's words. Right now, she wanted to hide inside a hole of the shame she was feeling.

"Big brother sure is popular, huh" Eres said at that moment and looked at Bloed with a strange gaze, making Bloed smile wryly.

Fortunately, her gaze was not as piercing as the gaze of the Princess Elwha. The elven princess had been looking at Bloed as though he was a piece of trash.

'Women' Bloed sighed inwardly.

The group continued chatting happily after that. Eventually, though, they started to talk about more serious topics.

Bloed was interested in what happened after he fainted. However, everything was just as he expected. The headmistress asked them to keep silent about the Blight and promised to give them compensation and a reward for discovering the tunnel.

What came as a surprise was that Regina brought back one of the creatures they saw in the tunnel.

Bloed was very interested in studying it even after knowing that it was related to the Devourers.

No, he was more interested after knowing that it was related to the Devourers.

Bloed was so excited that he wanted to start studying it right away. However, he was immediately stopped by Regina.

"Master, you should rest. At least for today, I won't allow you to do anything else."

"Why? I'm alright."

"You are not. The side-effects of using [Overdrive] are very heavy. You should know about it."

Bloed smiled wryly and did not deny it.

Actually, he knew about his condition better than Regina

Right now, Bloed could not feel the slightest trace of psychic power in his body. His calculation zone was completely dry and he had a rather bothersome headache.

It was the side-effect of using [Overdrive].

The last time he used it, he was unable to use his abilities for three days after that.

He was just at C-Grade back then, so the side-effects were much stronger than now that he was a B-Grade ESPer; but even so, he would need to rest for a few days before he recovered completely.

"Understood, understood, I'll rest, okay?"

"Good. Don't worry master, I'll make sure to take care of you to the best of my ability."

Bloed smiled wryly and nodded. Right then, he saw Liu Ying raising her hand timidly.

"H-Hey, Regina Can I help as well? I-I'm also Bloed's girlfriend, so"

"Me too," Aya also spoke up.

Regina looked at the two of them for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and sighing.

"Well, I think there is nothing wrong with that. I can use two extra hands."

"Thank you, Regina."

"Mm. Thank you."

"Hey, hey! Can I stay as well? I also want to help Bloed."

"You can't, Gina. You need to wait until you are Bloed's girlfriend first."

"You guys... It's unfair!"

.

Meanwhile, in someplace in Academy City, a mysterious voice let out a sigh.

" So we lost the first laboratory, huh. What a shame."

"It's alright." Another voice replied. "All the important information was taken away, so our losses were not too heavy. However, it will put our plan at risk. Should we continue with it? I think it should be a good idea to postpone it."

" No, let's continue." Said the first voice after hesitating for a brief instant. "The sooner we proceed, the faster we will see results. Only with chaos and war will we be able to achieve our goal."

"I understand. For Returning Dusk."

"For Returning Dusk."
