Tsubaki Shinra was not the most dazzling girl in the student body, but her beauty and talent still earned her plenty of admirers at Kuoh Academy. When she appeared in the classroom, many people instinctively turned to look. But when they saw her stop next to Luo Guang, both boys and girls held their breath.
"Luo Guang, could you come with me for a moment?"
"Sure." Luo Guang nodded slightly, having already read the message in her eyes. It was a matter of the magic book, which couldn't be discussed in front of everyone.
"How is Sona doing?" Luo Guang asked, closing his novel and standing up. Tsubaki Shinra walked out of the classroom at the right time.
"Thanks to you, the President is doing very well," the black-haired girl replied with a faint smile. This smile made many of the boys secretly feel a pang of regret. The Vice President, like the President, usually didn't show much emotion to anyone, yet she was able to talk and laugh with Luo Guang. What did this mean? It meant their relationship was definitely extraordinary!
After they left, the classroom and hallway became even more chaotic.
"Did you guys see that? Luo Guang-kun just called the President by her first name! Could it be that their relationship is already..."
"No way, no way? But... I've never seen the President and Luo Guang-kun interact much in public."
"That's because you don't know! They must have been secretly meeting up in private. Otherwise, why would they be like this?"
"Princess Rias was interested in him before, and they've been spending a lot of time together recently, but now the Student Council President is also getting involved."
"Could it be... that they're fighting over him? Are the two princesses fighting over one man?"
Listening to the girls' discussion, the remaining boys felt their hearts sink completely. It was over. All their hopes were gone. They had held on to a sliver of hope before, but now that they were like this, even that hope was gone.
"Eriri-san, do you know what's going on? You and Luo Guang-kun have been classmates since middle school, right?" a girl's voice called out to the blond, twin-tailed girl. "Did you know that Luo Guang-kun and the President have been secretly meeting?"
"How... how would I know?! I don't care about a playboy like that!" Eriri stretched her neck, trying to keep her emotions in check and speaking as calmly as possible.
"Oh, I see," the girl said, looking confused, and walked away.
But Eriri's little fists, hidden inside her school uniform, were clenched so tightly they had turned white. Ever since high school started, more and more girls had been appearing around Luo Guang. Lately, she hadn't even been able to talk to him. Was the only way to get closer to him again really to make the first move?
Without thinking about what the girls were thinking, Luo Guang had already arrived at the student council office with Tsubaki Shinra. It was lunchtime, and there was no one else in the office. In the large room, besides him and Tsubaki, only Sona Sitri was working. The sunlight coming through the window shone on Sona's black hair, giving it an elegant and charming luster. Her raven-black hair made her pale skin stand out even more. Her dignified and somewhat sharp face was focused on the documents.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the girl looked up. In that single glance, she exuded a charming elegance. It was no wonder that even girls admired Sona Sitri. But Luo Guang was unaffected.
"Tsubaki told me that what I asked for has arrived?"
"..." Tsubaki Shinra's body trembled slightly at the mention of her first name.
"Yes. My family was very happy to hear that the Mother of Ghouls situation was resolved. Not only did my own merits as a lord increase, but it will also make ordinary people rely on us more. My sister also agreed to give you a magic book," Sona Sitri said with a radiant smile. Luo Guang's actions had unintentionally solved a huge problem for her, which would increase her influence within the family and the Underworld. Although it was still early, at least there was hope.
After saying that, Sona Sitri handed Luo Guang a book with a black cover.
"This is a general magic book. Every member of the Sitri family learns from this book from a young age. Besides general magic, it also contains some exclusive water magic of the Sitri family. But it might be difficult to learn. If you have any questions, you can ask me," Sona Sitri said as Luo Guang took the book. "A barrier has been placed on the magic book. You can only see the text if you pour magical power into it. Regular people won't be able to see the words."
"Sitri family magic? Is it okay to give this to an outsider?" Luo Guang asked.
"It's fine. Although it was my own decision, it's not a special kind of magic. You can see it as a small token of my appreciation," the girl said, adjusting her glasses and smiling lightly.
