I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 440

Chapter 147: Blood Profit

Leading the pack, Kreya and her friends weren’t just members of the Student Council; they had been Leanna’s followers since the moment she became a Black Mage.

Typically, those who became Black Mages had tragic backgrounds and nowhere else to go, so they had long regarded Leanna as an older sister figure.

They had witnessed the two of them throughout their time at the Academy, both in mundane interactions and shared life-or-death situations on the battlefield, and they had fully recognized the bond between them.

So, when Leanna specifically asked them for support yesterday, the group of girls was naturally thrilled and pumped up.

Especially Kreya.

To her, the two had developed from friends-with-benefits to true love, transitioning from a physical relationship to one of genuine emotional connection—it hadn’t come easy.

They finally made it to this point; how could they not give a little push?!

With that thought, Kreya led the others to start executing the plan they had already discussed.

Roy was being chased all over the place by a Hydra with a mouthful of seawater when suddenly Kreya and the others darted out from behind, creating a splash to attack Leanna in a surprise ambush.

“Nice job!”

Though their attack was almost pitifully weak, clearly holding back, Roy still gave them a thumbs-up.

Most of Leanna’s trusted circle were also Roy’s colleagues from the Student Council, so they were basically friends he would greet regularly. Now? They had successfully leveled up in his mind to comrades-in-arms.

But the very next second, they all abruptly downgraded to enemies.

The group launched their offense all at once, even swinging their wands and summoning massive waves, instantly tossing Roy over like a rag doll.

Wait, isn’t this a bit personal?!

Just as Roy got back on his feet, he saw Leanna approaching him and he almost jumped in fright.

“Wait, pause, pause!”

“Hey, do I look like someone who would bully juniors?”

The brown-haired girl smiled sweetly as she extended a long, slender hand towards him.

“Team up?”

Roy paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, gripping her fair, delicate hand.

This feeling… kinda nostalgic.

Roy summoned a massive shield to protect Leanna while she called forth the Hydra. Together, they formed a mobile fortress on the water, with nine water jets spraying around, keeping over twenty Black Mages from raising their heads.

“Senior! Let’s get them!”

“…Leave it to me.” Leanna’s gaze sharpened.

Kreya, who had been knocked over by a massive water jet, lay face-down in the sea like a dead fish, utterly bewildered.

Wasn’t the plan for them to launch an all-out water battle and create some ambiguous, weak-girl-relying-on-male vibes for the president?

Why does it feel like the president is going all out?!

If you’re attacking this fiercely, how can you still pretend to be the weak girl?!

Grinding her teeth, Kreya got back up and rallied the others to unleash their extraordinary powers.

Water globules formed, gigantic waves climbed, and even water dragons materialized in the air—a truly spectacular sight.

Only then did Leanna remember the original goal and, in a feigned quivering voice, lamented, “Oh no, it seems like we can’t win now.”

According to the plan, she acted all trembly and snuggled up to Roy.

The weaker a woman appeared, the more a man liked it. Especially when the usually reliable senior now had to lean on him, didn’t that make her seem even more like a delicate little bird?

But sadly, compared to a man, Roy was more like a boy.

He completely ignored the fact that Leanna was now leaning against his shoulder, focusing entirely on casting [Merfolk Transformation], directing a school of little fish to attack the girls across from them.

The fish nibbled at the girls’ clothes, causing them to blush furiously and squeal, losing the ability to maintain their extraordinary powers.

Roy turned back and grinned, excited like a kid who’s about to score fries in a shooting game: “Senior! Now’s our chance!”

Leanna blinked, a look of resignation on her face.

But… as long as he’s happy.

“Got it.” Leanna responded, commanding the Hydra to whip up nine massive waves.

Kreya and the others were physically overwhelmed, getting hit by wave after wave, screaming in despair.

No, instead of bullying us here, shouldn’t you have something more important to do?! Kreya wanted to yell, but alas, with her mouth full of seawater, she couldn’t get a word out.

And Roy? Just one word—satisfied.

“Senior, let’s continue!”

He raised his shield and was about to charge in when suddenly, a girl behind him let out a short, surprised gasp.

Even in shallow water, maintaining balance was tough with the waves rolling in.

Trying to catch up to Roy, one girl lost her footing and fell backward.

Oh no, this is gonna be embarrassing—

But just as that thought crossed her mind, the boy darted in like a gust of wind, catching her waist and holding her snugly in his arms.

Lying back against him, she felt a rush of security and an irresistible urge to act.

“Are you okay?”

Roy asked seriously, then immediately felt annoyed at himself for wanting to laugh.

A Sequence 6 Extraordinary Being, how bad could a simple fall be?!

His reaction was totally over the top.

At that moment, they were both only in swimsuits, and with their bodies pressed closely together, Roy felt all the more embarrassed.

But before he could let go, Leanna took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck.

The girl smirked with an ambiguous look: “I have something.”

“Really?” Roy blinked in confusion.

“Yep, I twisted my ankle earlier and can’t stand up right now.”

“…I’m going to let go.” Roy looked utterly speechless.

“Don’t!” Leanna tightened her grip, suddenly looking like she was on the verge of tears: “If you let go now, I’m going to fall into the sea and drown!”

Roy almost couldn’t hold it together.

Come on, drowning in half a meter of shallow water? That’s ridiculous.

But it seemed like the senior just wanted to mess with him.

Roy gave in and asked, “So what do you want to do?”

“Just take me back to shore.”

Roy initially thought of carrying Leanna piggy-back style, but considering he might end up touching places he shouldn’t, he thought it over and finally opted for a princess carry.

“…!”

“Don’t squirm around, okay?”

“Mm.”

Focused on moving forward, Roy didn’t notice how the girl in his arms had pulled back her head, her cheeks flushing, completely losing her previous confidence.

In her original script, just shrinking back into his embrace was enough for her to pose as the weak girl.

Leanna had never forgotten the lines Roy had set for her.

Never would she have imagined that a joke could result in this treatment.

What a steal.

“Aren’t you thinking up some ridiculous scheme again?” Roy suddenly looked down and asked.

Leanna closed her eyes, then leaned against the boy’s chest, a satisfied smile creeping across her lips.

“Actually, no. Right now, this is just perfect.”

“As long as you’re happy,” Roy muttered weakly.

In the distance, Kreya and the others, barely able to lift their heads in the water, took a final look at their president being carried like a princess and broke into satisfied smiles before they all plopped back down.

“Glub glub…”

Their sacrifice was not in vain.

“By the way, shouldn’t you let go soon?”

“Hey, but I twisted my ankle…”

“Tweaking your ankle doesn’t stop you from eating, does it?!”

By the time it was noon and they were grilling, Leanna was still curled up in Roy’s arms, not willing to give him an inch.
