Chapter 39: The Blonde Twin Tails and the Tsundere Are Indeed a Classic Pair
After Mr. Silver nodded, the inquiry soon came to an end.
Isda quickly took down notes and then began to tidy up her materials in preparation to leave the inquiry room.
She wanted to escape quickly from this place that had left her with many unpleasant memories, and from that new student who had repeatedly caused her trouble, nearly shattering her resolve.
I will never take on another psychological assessment for such a mysterious character… Isda silently vowed.
Although according to the higher-ups, this newcomer named Rast would also join Starry University, possibly becoming her classmate in the future.
However, Starry University is the largest institution of higher learning in the entire Granville, and even among the whole continent, it ranks among the best.
With hundreds of extraordinary individuals, there are still over ten thousand ordinary students who haven’t stepped into the Sequence ranks or become Night Travelers.
Starry University is vast, so much so that once they part ways this time, they might never see each other again.
If I can’t provoke you, can’t I avoid you?
Just as this thought arose.
In the next moment, Isda felt someone following her.
She instinctively turned around and immediately, her originally drooping twin tails perked up in response.
“Rast?”
“Hmm?”
Behind her, the dark-haired boy also appeared slightly taken aback.
The previous psychological inquiry had been conducted through a one-way mirror, so Rast himself didn’t know what the woman questioning him looked like.
But at that moment, upon hearing a somewhat familiar voice, he immediately recognized that the blonde twin-tailed girl before him was indeed the psychological assessor named “Isda Yulian.”
But—
“Classmate Rast, the psychological assessment has ended.”
“With so many people in this world, can you stop following me?”
Isda crossed her arms, staring at Rast with a vigilant expression, her figure wrapped in a beige trench coat, her ample chest almost spilling out.
For some reason, the instant their eyes met, Rast noticed that Isda’s lithe body wrapped in the trench coat visibly trembled, a flush spreading from her ear to her neck.
It was as if she had recalled something shameful.
Whose little girl is this?
There was only this one path leading out of the psychological assessment room; if I don’t follow you, who will I follow?
Even with Rast’s experience, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat speechless.
And with that mysterious blush on her face, one might mistakenly think he’d done something terribly inappropriate.
Although due to his inherent skill “Heart of Iron,” when Isda had used some type of mental blade to probe his spirit, Rast had unconsciously retaliated.
But from his own experience, it was merely controlling his spirit to devour a thread of her invading essence. Was such a strong reactive response necessary?
Of course, what left Rast most silent was the “Library of Fools” in his mind.
Along with Isda’s words, he clearly saw that the golden card “Hermit·Isda” was flashing.
Next, the progress bar for the 【Bond Level: 1】 slowly increased by a small notch.
Goodness, the combination of blonde twin tails with a tsundere is indeed an everlasting classic.
At the same time, Rast also saw the information for the “Hermit” card.
【 “Hermit”·Isda 】
【 Bond Level: 1 】
【 Sequence Abilities: 1. Path of Secrecy, 2. Listener… 】
【 Hermit·Path of Secrecy (Unlocked): The first tier ability of the Hermit sequence, Hermits seek solitude and introspection. When activated, it greatly reduces one’s sense of presence, allowing them to move silently through crowds and decreasing the likelihood of being noticed.
When “Path of Secrecy” is activated, based on the tiers and mental power of both parties, it can immunize or weaken certain detection, reconnaissance, and prophecy abilities.】
【 Hermit·Listener (Unlocked): When the bond level with the target character reaches a certain level, the original will be accessible.】
…
【 Night Blade: Eye of Secrecy 】
【 Level 1·Spirit Realm Vision (Unlocked): Consumes mental energy to open an eye of essence at the center of one’s forehead, able to observe the collective subconscious sea surrounding them and check the target’s spiritual symbols (accessible when the target character’s bond reaches a certain level).】
【 Level 2·Gaze of Secrecy (Unlocked): Peering into the hearts of others, discerning the deepest secrets of the target’s soul. The effectiveness varies with the mental power and tier level gap between both parties. (Accessible when the target character’s bond reaches a certain level).】
…
“I say, didn’t your parents teach you that zoning out when someone is talking to you is quite rude?”
Isda stared at the boy before her, trying hard to make her gaze icy.
In fact, she didn’t need to feign anything. She could just be herself to achieve that.
The infamous title of “Seer” Isda had long been well-known in Starry University. Countless students had experienced social d*ath in the university after inadvertently undergoing her psychological assessment.
Thus, even though Isda was quite stunning, with pale blue eyes and exquisite features, not to mention being the sole daughter of Count Yulian, nearly all students tried to stay far away from her, fearing that they would catch her sharp gaze.
On the Starry Daily’s ranking of “Most Desirable Girls to Date,” Isda didn’t even have a rank.
However, she soon saw the boy who had been zoning out slightly turn to face her.
The window beside the corridor was open, and the morning light shone obliquely into the corridor.
Rast stood in the thin sunlight, his profile not harsh but rather soft.
After hearing Isda’s admonishment, a look of apology appeared on his face.
“I’m very sorry to have troubled you, Miss Isda.”
“However, my parents really didn’t teach me these things.”
Rast smiled faintly as he basked in the sunlight, “They passed away before I could even remember.”
“I grew up as an orphan in a remote border town where social interactions were very basic because everyone was just uneducated country folk.”
“So, I must admit that I’m not very familiar with the noble etiquette you mentioned… If I have offended you, I truly apologize.”
Isda stared blankly at the boy before her, who wore an apologetic smile.
What have I just said…
Her face suddenly turned pale, and a wave of guilt washed over her.
