Chapter 123 Food is King! Rio x Lia.
The academy\'s management staff does have a special key to unlock any room if they need to, however, they always need permission from the principal to unlock the rooms of the students. (Privacy is an important thing…)
Rio walked down the stairs and went out of the building. He had already worn his academy uniform before leaving the room.
Just when Rio walked out of the main gate of the boy\'s dormitory, he suddenly noticed a golden-haired girl standing near the gate, she seemed to be waiting for someone.
\'What is she doing sneaking around the boy\'s dormitory at this time of the day? Shouldn\'t she have already gone to the classroom...\' (Rio)
Rio used his skill \'Sword intent\' on his finger to cover it in frost aura and used its coldness to cool his hands, he made his hands cold to touch by using his extreme control over his \'sword intent\'. (It\'s a dangerous and very difficult thing, don\'t try it at home. You can use the simpler version, just put an ice cube in your hand, and tadaa! \'magic\'… cough!)
After making his hands cold, Rio immediately sneaked behind the girl. The girl was oblivious to all these schemes and was staring at her smartphone.
A slight smile appeared on Rio\'s expressionless face as he put his cold hand on the girl\'s cheek:
"What!?" (Lia)
Lia jumped away in surprise.
She was so busy on her smartphone that she didn\'t even notice Rio approaching her. The cold touch made her shiver and chills ran down her spine. (Even if Lia was not busy on her phone she could not have sensed Rio… this guy has very good control over his aura and is a master in sneaking, due to his professional thieving activities…)
Lia hurriedly looked at the perpetrator of this whole devious scheme and found that the rude guy was smirking at her and had a teasing smile on his face.
"You! Perv!" (Lia)
Rio shrugged his shoulder and pretended like he didn\'t even hear it, instead his teasing smile widened further.
"Hmph! I was going to give you a specially cooked lunchbox today but forget it-" (Lia)
"Oh! You are talking about this one? It indeed looks quite good!" (Rio)
While saying that Rio opened the cute-looking lunchbox and stuffed the sweets inside in his mouth, then he looked at Lia and gave her a satisfied look.
"Yeah! This tastes good!" (Rio)
Lia looked at all this with her small mouth open in sheer shock. She didn\'t even notice him stealing her lunchbox from her hand. Lia hurriedly looked inside the handbag in her left hand and found that the lunchbox was indeed missing.
Lia glared at Rio in shock:
"Wh-what!? When did you take it!?" (Lia)
Rio just shrugged his shoulder and pretended to be innocent.
"Well, it\'s just an old habit, you can\'t blame me for that..." (Rio)
"You were holding that lunch box with such a proud look on your face, I couldn\'t help but look at what was so special about it…" (Rio)
While Rio pretended to be innocent, Lia looked at her bag and the Lunch box in Rio\'s hands repeatedly in shock.
\'I am already at B-rank and I didn\'t even notice him!?\' (Lia)
[Don\'t think too much about it girl, that guy seems to have years of experience in this field….]
[I always felt that something was up with this guy… perhaps this isn\'t even the first time for him….]
Kai appeared on Lia\'s shoulder in his cat form and answered her in her mind using telepathy. He glanced at Rio with his eyes wide.
\'This guy…. Used the \'legendary\' skill \'sword intent\' to make his hands cold…\' (Kai)
\'Such blasphemy….\' (Kai)
Kai shook his head in defeat. He noticed Rio\'s presence right from the start but didn\'t tell Lia and wanted to see what Rio was up to this time. But even Kai was shocked when the supposed legendary skill was reduced to a hand-cooling method by Rio.
\'As they say, talent is the most unfair thing in the world…. The guy has the talent to put any accomplished \'swordsman\' to shame…\' (Kai)
…
After a while, Rio had to buy an ice cream for Lia to get her to forgive him for his atrocious behaviors. Although was laughing at the top of his lungs in his mind, he still made amends using the ultimate technique of giving tasty food.
With the ice cream in hand, both of them walked toward the classroom. There were still 15 minutes before the start of the class. They had enough time to reach the classroom in a leisurely way. (Rio and Lia are both the type to get up very early in the morning and do morning work-out, thus they both get up early and have never been late for class.)
Rio glanced at Lia\'s sword hanging on her waist and asked:
"Did you get a new sword, it looks quite good…" (Rio)
Hearing Rio mentioning her sword, Lia\'s chest puffed up in pride and a happy expression appeared on her cute face.
"Of course! This is the family treasure of the silver household! It\'s called Ambient Silver! My father gave it to me the other day! Hehe…" (Lia)
Rio tilted his head a little.
\'Isn\'t that the same sword Lia used to stab her father to death in the original novel…\' (Rio)
\'it was said that James refused to give that sword to Lia even till his last breath and in anger Lia forcefully took that sword and stabbed it in James\'s heart, killing him off with the same thing he wished to protect…\' (Rio)
\'The reason why James refused to give \'Ambient Silver\' to Lia was because he didn\'t consider her worthy of inheriting that sword…\' (Rio)
Although many complicated emotions surged in his mind by hearing the name of the sword, his face remained as expressionless as always, he replied in his usual emotionless voice.
"Is that so, good for you… it seems your father has recognized your efforts…" (Rio)
"Yeah! He even said that I was the only one worth of this sword! Isn\'t that amazing!?" (Lia)
Looking at the excited look on Lia\'s face, Rio replied with a nod.
"Indeed… getting the direct praise from an S-ranker is an amazing achievement…" (Rio)
"Yeah!" (Lia)
\'It seems that James has finally recognized her and now considers her worthy enough to inherit that sword he cherished with his life… was it because of that spirit beast, Kai?...\' (Rio)
\'But, it\'s all good as long as she is happy with herself… I just hope that she can stay happy all her life…\' (Rio)
Rio shook his head and stopped thinking about the sad fate of Lia and her family, instead what confused him the most was:
\'Why did James cherish that sword so much in the first place, could it be that he saw his cherished wife\'s memories in that sword?... It wasn\'t explained in the novel, but perhaps this might be the truth…\' (Rio)
(Rio\'s deduction is correct, James gifted that sword to his wife and they used to adventure in the various dungeons together. His wife held that sword for years before she finally succumbed to her inevitable death…)
…
After a few minutes, Rio, and Lia both reached the classroom and entered together.
The other students had long known about their relationship, and now that Rio was already famous all over the nation, none The other students had long known about their relationship, and now that Rio was already famous all over the nation, none were surprised by them wandering around together.
Nearly everyone in the class knew about them dating each other by now.
Rio and Lia both finally separated after entering the classroom and both went to sit on their respective seats.
While Lia looked at her smartphone and searched for new cooking recipes, Rio stared at the empty air in a daze.
Five minutes later.
*Bang*
The door opened with a loud \'bang\' and a white-haired girl walked in while panting heavily. Her hair seemed disheveled. She seemed to have run all the way from her room, to the class to reach on time.
*pant**pant*
"F-finally reached… on time… huff haaa~" (Riya)
More footsteps sounded in the corridor and a dark red-haired boy entered the class with a troubled look on his face. He had a lunchbox in his right hand and a woman\'s handbag in his left hand. The boy hurriedly gave the stuff in his hand to Riya and said in a scolding voice:
"Look! As I already said! You have to start getting up early Riya! Otherwise, how will you make it on time every day when I am not around!? Wait! Don\'t sleep in the class! The class is about to start! Get up!" (Link)
While Link tried to wake Riya up, Riya clutched the desk and slept while mumbling.
"Nooo~ let me sleeep~" (Riya)
Link looked at Riya and shook his head in defeat. He had to use his ultimate trick now.
"Okay here look what it is… an Ultra-rare candy-" (Link)
Before Link could say anything Riya got up and snatched the candies from Link\'s hand like a cat, now she was wide awake.
A smile appeared on Riya\'s face every time she nibbled on those candies.
Link looked at this all in dismay and decided to go back to his seat.
\'Sometimes I feel like these candies are my Love rivals… tch! Damn you! Candy-making companies!!\' (Link)
