Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 438 - 439: Joining the Organization 2/2 [3/3]

"Wow... she’s even more stunning in person, not just beautiful but fairy as well,"

Sitting on a platform nearby, Sophia, an ordinary new student, had these reflections after finally regaining her focus.

She had initially been curious. Was the academy’s goddess only popular for her beauty, status, academic performance, and slightly higher strength? Why did she draw so much attention from both students and teachers and even her own father and brother? Everyone should be eating, solving questions, or taking a nap at this time, so why would they run here to see her?

But when she laid eyes on the fabled Girl of Destiny, she understood.

Under the influence of an inexplicable comfort aura, all of Sophie’s previous disdain for Mengxi vanished, replaced by a strong liking. Suddenly, she felt an urge to support her wholeheartedly.

"One-sama"[Big Sister]

At this moment, a pair of pink hearts seemed to flash in Sophia’s eyes, and deep down, she felt the urge to join the ’Sister Fan Club.’ Initially, when she entered the academy, she had thought these people were just silly fans.

But Sophie had grown up enduring hardships, so she quickly shook her head vigorously to regain her senses.

"Calm down, calm down!"

Why did I suddenly have such strange thoughts? I am somewhat frustrated’

But considering how entranced she, a girl, was, what would happen if a naive and hormonal young man were to see this silver-haired goddess?

Looking at the few boys standing beside her who were utterly mesmerized, Sophie felt even more helpless. Drool was even forming at the corners of their mouths. She wondered if they might actually go and confess their love to the silver girl at any moment, which would be utterly embarrassing.

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop daydreaming, you idiots!"

Annoyed, Sophie smacked the heads of the two black-haired young men beside her, snapping them out of their daze. Only after their heads stopped spinning did they begrudgingly come back to their senses. Both looked at Sophie reproachfully.

"Why’d you hit us?" said one boy, adjusting his glasses.

"That really hurt," another complained.

"Ugh, I’m doing this for your own good. Keep staring like that, and you’ll go crazy and confess your love to her or something," Sophie retorted.

"As if! We’re not that exaggerated," the bespectacled boy grumbled, before turning his gaze back to the silver-haired girl reading a book not far away.

"Although... confessing might not be a bad idea. What if she actually says yes? That’d be awesome!"

Sophia shook her head, both amused and helpless at the situation.

"Are you serious? With your skills and background, you’d be lucky to survive three days if she says yes."

"Huh? Why... why is that?"

The bespectacled young man suddenly turned his head, looking confusedly at his fellow countryman.

Another black-haired young man standing beside him also looked at Sophia with an inquisitive expression.

Helplessly rubbing her forehead, Sophia said to these two bumpkins:

"Do you guys even know who that senior is?"

"You mean her status? Isn’t it obvious? She’s the Girl of Destiny and a potential Saintess "

"Good, you’re not entirely brainless. So, do you have any idea how many guys are after this Girl of Destiny?"

"Uh, no idea..."

"Trust me, it’s a lot. Just to give you a few examples: the third prince of Red Leaf Empire, a duke’s son from the Sadik Empire, the crown prince of Dragon Flame race, a leading disciple of the Holy Tower, a young elf princess, the heiress of the Kameilu Duke family... and let’s not forget Xue Tianao, the ousted emperor of Snowy Night Empire. They’re all chasing after her."

"..."

As Sophia rattled off a series of impressive names, the bespectacled young man couldn’t help but swallow hard.

"Are they that awesome?"

"Yes, they are. So, Mr. No One, what’s your background? You’re just an adventurer with good performance from a small place. With your current capabilities and background, competing with those guys is like asking for death. If they find out about your intentions, they could crush you in an instant. If you somehow succeed in confessing, I might have to prepare your funeral overnight. Last time, an upperclassman received a gift from the Girl of Destiny and was so harassed by these suitors that he had to drop out and run away overnight."

As she spoke, Sophia patted her fellow countryman on the shoulder:

"Know your own weight. That kind of woman is not for you. Even if you get her, you can’t handle her."

"..."

Although Sophia made a lot of sense, the young man still looked somewhat reluctant, his eyes fixed on the silver-haired girl in the distance.

"But in novels... aren’t there also plots where the strong female lead protects the weak male lead? What if she really... falls for me... wouldn’t that..."

"..."

Looking at this partner whose thoughts were filled with wild ideas and who was physically in danger of going down a risky path, Sophia helplessly rolled her eyes:

"You’re dreaming..."

"This... it’s not impossible..."

"It’s absolutely impossible."

Having her ear to the ground for a lot of school gossip, Sophia bluntly brought the hammer down on her fellow countryman. For the sake of the bespectacled young man’s well-being, she stated the facts:

"You know, just last week, Eldric, the third prince of Red Leaf Empire already confessed to her"

"Huh? Confessed?"

Hearing this, both the bespectacled man and his fellow countryman beside him instantly focused on Sophia, their eyes ablaze with gossip:

"Sophia! What happened to the confession?"

"Rejected without any hesitation... And do you know why?"

"Why?..."

"The Girl of Destiny said she already has someone she likes."

"What?!?!"

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you for the incredible support! It’s been over a month that we’ve stayed in the top 10, and words can’t express how grateful I am. As a token of my appreciation, I’ll aim to add five chapters tomorrow instead of four bonus ones. Maybe even six chapters if possible! That does not include the daily chapters so it will be something between 6-8, Once again, thank you all so much.
