28~ This hand can’t be kept!
Cole watched Tillysha’s retreating back, then glanced at the Silver-haired Elf beside him, and how could he not see that Aistride had not let go of her feelings for that blind Male?
Cole was a rather narrow-minded person. Due to his birth issues, he couldn’t stand seeing others better than himself, especially those he thought were far inferior to him.
He couldn’t understand why Aistride couldn’t let go of the blind Male, when there were plenty of stronger Males. Why should a talentless individual, who doesn’t even belong in Coleman Academy, be favored by the Elf Princess?
When it came to saving graces, couldn’t he have done the same? Why didn’t such a stroke of luck fall to him, someone far more deserving, instead of a lowly individual who barely made it in?
Anyone could have rescued the Elf Princess in peril, anyone could have naturally gained her favor. Why was he so lucky?!
Cole couldn’t figure it out, and Cole was seething with resentment.
Back then, he had joined Dillin’s team because of Aistride, a beauty in the team. After joining, he found out that this beauty had her heart set elsewhere.
He was disgruntled. He thought Dillin, the country boy, didn’t deserve the Elf Princess’s attention, so he stirred up trouble, making the whole school aware of it, turning Dillin into the common enemy of all the boys.
Yes, apart from Fland, Cole wasn’t exactly a saint either. Birds of a feather flock together, that’s what describes the two of them.
On the other side, after seeing Tillysha off, Aistride parted her lips and closed them again.
It had been a while since she’d seen him, and even longer since they’d lived together.
Aistride, who had compromised with her elders and family, thought time would dilute everything, until she saw new Divine Maidens appearing around him.
That child hadn’t yet undergone Divine Maiden transformation. Though a scar on her face affected her beauty, she’d surely become an exceptional beauty after transformation.
Once they officially enrolled, each team would be assigned their own house. Then, he and she would live under the same roof…
Aistride clenched her fists, she didn’t know why, but thinking about these things gave her a terrible, aching feeling.
Picturing herself walking with him in the streets as if they were strangers, watching him laugh with his Divine Maiden as a mere passerby…
Thinking about all these, Aistride felt her heart being tightly clenched.
In the future, should they really become strangers?
Aistride is a disciplined Elf who abides by traditions.
The elders of her family immediately stopped her relationship when they discovered her budding affection for Dillin. As usual, Aistride obediently submitted.
However, this time, she clearly felt a burgeoning rebellious sentiment, an emotion she had never felt for her elders before, shocking even herself.
The elders of the Moon Elf clan wanted to prevent the growth of love, but they didn’t know that the vines of affection had already overgrown the wall, out of control…
Elves are cold and hard to approach, especially in terms of emotion. They are extremely intense.
For those destined not to be loved by them, they will show indifference, even unwilling to spare a glance.
But for their beloved, they will give everything they have. Whatever the loved one desires, they would strive their hardest, even changing their preferences to suit the loved one.
They may be aloof and proud, but their intoxication and madness in love are absolutely incomparable to humans.
‘Faithfulness’ is a trait of Elves, especially the chemical reaction caused when ‘Faithfulness’ and ‘Love at First Sight’ work together.
After these days, Aistride was uncertain about what the future held. She was lost, dared not follow her instincts, couldn’t understand her feelings, and blindly followed the arrangements by her elders and family.
Her eyes revealed complex emotions, and Aistride’s cheeks flushed slightly.
She pulled out a handkerchief embroidered with a racoon pattern from her bosom, her eyes taking on a hazy look as she gazed at it.

This little interlude had a significant impact on Aistride and caused Tillysha quite a bit of trouble.
Now, she was trudging unhappily along the road to the Divine Maidens’ school.
Every time she thought about that elbow being touched by that b*stard earlier, still carrying his smell, she was tempted to hack it off.
This hand couldn’t be kept…
After going home today, she would wash herself three times! No, ten times!
The smell that b*stard left on her must all be cleaned off!
If she had more time, Tillysha would have rushed home to bathe right now.
Actually, Tillysha wasn’t surprised that Cole found her. She fully understood Cole’s intent.
Fland, the one who caused the team withdrawal scandal, must have interacted with his teammates. And since they recognized each other, it was almost inevitable for people of similar disposition to regroup.
Only, they’re probably dreaming if they think they could poach the Divine Maiden from her team.
The Divine Maidens’ school, like other buildings related to Divine Maidens, was of a completely different class and material compared to the other professional schools, further demonstrating the academy’s emphasis on professions.
Neither was there exactly professional discrimination; the function of Divine Maidens far outweighed other professions, an indisputable fact. Additionally, they all came from prominent families, so this favoritism is somewhat justified. The schools for the likes of Divine Males and Mages were somewhat similar.
However, despite the school being built like a palace, and the people inside speaking eloquently with good demeanor, these don’t represent personal character. After all, high IQs have both geniuses and villains. The sense of values only has to do with education, not social status.
Especially now, the newly-enrolled batch of Divine Maidens were mixed. All were from illustrious families, but without some time to interact, who could tell how many seemingly elegant villains were among them?
