Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City

Chapter 243: Shy boy

"Iinuma-kun, which school did you come from?" 

"What's your favorite food, Iinuma-kun?" 

"Why did you choose this school, Iinuma-kun?" 

If Isao were a normal transfer student, his new classmates would probably ask such questions, but unfortunately, while he tried to be normal, he couldn't. 

"Are you single, Iinuma-kun?" 

"Do you have a girlfriend, Iinuma-kun?" 

"What about a man? Do you like men?" 

"....." 

For the last person, Isao was going to put this guy on a blacklist. 

Nevertheless, as soon as the break started, he was surrounded and bombarded by many questions. If it was a normal situation, he should be able to handle it well, but he knew that this wasn't a normal situation. Their eyes were strange, appearing so perverted, and he could tell their intents, who even wished to lick his feet if they were allowed to. 

Unfortunately, he wasn't such a pervert, and he didn't have any intention to wake up such a fetish either. 

So, at that moment, he knew that he had to get help. 

Glancing around, he met an acquaintance, his only savior. 

'Help me...' 

Even if he didn't say anything, he was sure that she would notice his message. 

As expected, when their eyes met, Stella naturally understood his message, and she also understood the peril he encountered, especially with the number of people that surrounded him. 

To be honest, Stella didn't really think about approaching him. Frankly, this wasn't her character, who was bold and also kind, especially when she met someone who had saved her in the past. 

If it was before, she would have come to him boldly without caring about anything, but now, it was different, especially when she had to take care of the fragile heart of the person with whom she had been supposed to fall in love. 

When Stella thought of Ikki, she couldn't help but sigh, wondering why everything had become so messed up like this. Even now, they still had conflicts with each other, and she didn't like this, but the two of them didn't have any experience in making up to each other, and the rest of the people around them were also quite awkward at giving advice at relationships, so nothing went well. 

Even worse, there was Ikki's little sister, who had always caused her trouble, provoking her as if she was supposed to be Ikki's bitch, who would follow Ikki like a puppy. 

Yes, she might have fallen for Ikki, but there was also a limit. How could she lose her sense of being an individual due to love? 

As for her relationship with Isao, while she wanted to talk with him, she didn't want to hurt Ikki, so she endured her desire to do so, but when their eyes met, she couldn't stop her urge anymore. 

When their eyes met, unlike his usual heroic and brave figure, he appeared a little pathetic, awkward, and clearly troubled by all the people who surrounded him. 

If she left him alone... then no one knew what would happen, especially when there was also some homo joined within that group. 

In other words, she felt like she had to save him!

At the same time, Stella also didn't like these wavering and hesitant feelings. Yes, she was worried about Ikki, and she might have fallen for him, but even so, they hadn't dated yet. Moreover, as the princess of the Vermillion Kingdom, how could she ignore her savior, who was in need of her help? 

"Hey, you guys! Stop it! If you have a question for him, ask him one by one instead of asking them at the same time!" 

Then, under Stella's fierce aura, everyone became obedient, and no one caused a mess anymore. 

However, Ikki, who had been staring at Stella, felt lost. He thought about approaching them and introducing himself, but somehow, something inside his heart stopped him from doing so. 

Still, soon, Ikki felt regret since, while he wasn't sure what they were talking about, somehow, Isao and Stella went out together. 

"..." 

---

"Thank you for your help." 

"No problem." Stella nodded. "But why am I the one who treats you?" 

"Don't mind a small thing." 

"....." 

Stella sat on Isao's opposite, staring at him, thinking that this guy was quite shameless. 

Well, it didn't matter. 

Nevertheless, it didn't change the fact that she owed him a favor, and for her, treating him to a meal was nothing, especially with her pocket money. 

The Vermillion Kingdom might not be the richest country in the world, but it definitely wasn't a poor country, especially when it had gas as a resource. It was definitely far better than this country that lacked everything. 

"Though, I didn't expect that you would enter this school directly." 

Frankly, Stella was surprised since she didn't expect that Isao would be at the same school as her, but she was excited, thinking that there would be more challenges that she looked forward to. 

"Yup." Isao nodded. "I didn't expect it either. But the Director told me that she heard a report from someone who told her about me." 

Having looked over, Stella blushed, feeling embarrassed. "...I am sorry. That's me, but everything is good, right? At least you don't have to enter jail. Or rather, how the hell did you suddenly enter the jail?" 

"Well... if I have to say, it is all due to my luck..." 

As the two talked to each other and had fun, no one interrupted them. 

Why? 

It was because of the difference in power. 

Stella was a princess and was a Blazer with the strongest magical power in history. 

On the other hand, Isao was probably the most handsome and powerful Blazer that brought terror to anyone.

When the two were together, the others would feel inferior, and frankly, except for Ikki, whom Ikki was close with, Stella was hardly close with anyone. It wasn't that she wasn't good at communicating, but she didn't want to waste her time since she knew they would hardly know each other in the future, and her purpose for being in this academy was to become stronger. 

So, how could she waste her time? 

As for talking with Isao, it wasn't a waste of her time since his strength was worthy of her admiration, and once again, he was her savior. 

"By the way, when we met again, you told me that you were going to tell me your power, right?" Stella suddenly asked. 

"Ah, did I say that before?" 

"You did! Don't lie!" 

"I never lied. I forgot, okay?" 

"...forgot..." Stella felt a bit hurt, but she asked helplessly, "So what's your power?" 

"What's your power first?" 

"...you don't know?" 

"Should I know?" 

"...." 

Stella's lips twitched since she knew that everyone in the world should have known about her power. 

"Manipulation concept of the dragon. That's my power," Stella said with quite a proud tone. 

"Really?" 

"Yes." Stella nodded and asked with a doubt, "Are you doubting me?" 

Isao nodded. "I thought your power was a flame manipulation since you mostly used a flame instead of your dragon concept manipulation." 

"...." 

Stella fell in silence as she touched her forehead. "It seems... you are right." She recalled that she had only been using a flame even though her power should allow her to do more things, which was practically wasting the potential of her power. 

Taking a deep breath, she looked at Isao and thanked him. "Thank you." 

"Why did you thank me?" Isao asked Stella strangely. 

"Because...." 

However, before she finished her words, she suddenly felt danger since, from behind, someone suddenly came and was ready to stab a sharp weapon into her skull silently. 

"Shizuku!" 

Everyone was startled by this sudden act, and no one could react. 

Even Stella was dumbfounded and only realized that she was in danger after hearing the shout, but before this person succeeded in attacking her, Isao grabbed the head of the attacker smoothly and smashed this person onto the table in the cafeteria directly. 

Crack! 

The table was smashed, and the skull of this person was slammed into the ground directly, causing the tiles to be destroyed. 

Bang!

"...."
