Chapter 66: Turbulence
After Tyr finished speaking, he approached Yuehai, much to the astonishment of the male classmate, and sat across from Yuehai amidst the incredulous gazes of everyone present.
“Hello,” Tyr said lightly. This was still for the sake of showing others, otherwise, he would talk to himself, and his self as Yuehai also nodded with a smile.
“Hello.”
Alright, since the greetings are over, it’s time to eat.
However, Tyr suddenly felt countless unfriendly gazes staring at him, causing a prickling sensation all over his body.
This prickling sensation immediately put Tyr on high alert, causing him to stiffen his body.
“Who is this person? How dare they stand opposite to the goddess.”
“Such rudeness, defiling the sacred dining area of Lord Yuehai.”
“Where are the members of the Yuehai Goddess Fan Club? Why aren’t they here?”
“We just received a message. About seventy or eighty people are on their way.”
“Oh no, of all places, why did this little guy have to sit here and seek attention? Being targeted by the fan club members is definitely the unluckiest student on the first day of school.”
“Yeah, he’s doomed.”
Tyr slowly put down his utensils, silently stood up from his chair, then dashed through the crowd towards the cafeteria’s exit.
At this moment, the members of the Fan Club arrived and, after searching around, saw Tyr’s disappearing figure. They immediately shouted sternly.
“It’s him! Everyone, catch this person for me, our fan club will definitely reward handsomely!!”
As soon as these words were spoken, those who were already displeased with Tyr immediately decided to take action. They rushed towards Tyr one by one, leaving the poor Masked Man feeling utterly helpless. All he wanted was to lead everyone to have a meal together without bothering Yuehai. However, little did he know that by doing so, he had stepped on the tail of a dragon.
When the members of the enthusiast club saw Yuehai eating in the cafeteria, each of them immediately showed devout expressions. The sparkling eyes made Yuehai lose all appetite for the dishes he still wanted to eat. Well, let’s focus on getting the enthusiast club to pursue instead.
“Hey, I’m talking to you guys.”
Yuehai stood up and walked over to the enthusiasts, but they reacted as if they had encountered some ancient ferocious beast, immediately retreating several meters in panic before once again looking at her with devout eyes.
Oh my goodness, what’s this all about? Yuehai couldn’t understand their behavior at all. Oh well, as long as she could hear their voices, it was fine.
“I’m telling you guys, can you please stop bothering Tyr from now on?”
“Tyr, Tyr? Oh, what a generous and kind person he is! The great goddess Yuehai has actually chosen to forgive such rude peasants. We are truly moved beyond words.”
Then stop talking; a simple ‘yes’ would suffice.
Yuehai felt goosebumps all over her body from what these people were saying. The enthusiast club was too terrifying, or rather, nauseatingly terrifying.
“Anyway, you can’t lay a hand on anyone I’m interested in, you know?”
“Look, look…”
The members of the enthusiast club showed expressions of disbelief, each looking as if they had seen the end of the world.
“Interested in someone?!!!”
“Goodness, that peasant is actually someone Yuehai is interested in.”
“What should we do then? Do we still need to act?”
“Such enviable skills absolutely cannot allow him to live, but we can’t let Lady Yuehai know it was us. So, we’ll have to clean up our act discreetly.”
“Yeah, yeah, take a look at this poison.”
“Why bother with poison? Just use a magic spell to kill, and no one will know.”
“No, that’s not reliable. It’s better to set up a barrier to trap him inside. By the end of the month, he won’t have completed the assessment and will naturally be expelled. This way, we can keep him alive to avoid upsetting Lady Yuehai and get rid of him at the same time. It’s killing two birds with one stone!”
“Oh, that makes sense. No wonder Mr. Mukla is known as the top mind of the enthusiast club.”
“Yes, Mr. Mukla used to be the branch president of the Yuehai Goddess Fan Enthusiast Club in the Sigril Empire. Upon hearing the news of Lady Yuehai’s arrival in Avalon, he resolutely gave up his position as branch president and came to the academy.”
“What a story that brings tears to one’s eyes. Mr. Mukla, you will always be our role model.”
“Yes, you’re simply the epitome of the enthusiast club.”
“Haha, you’re all too kind. I’m just holding onto my initial feelings for Lady Yuehai.”
Yuehai “…”
Meanwhile, behind Tyr, there was a long line of students running frantically between the various facilities around the Sanctum, some unleashing lightning magic while others hurled fireballs. Tyr could handle ten or twenty, but the crowd behind him was growing like a snowball rolling downhill. More and more people joined the ‘campaign’ against Tyr. Just as Damiyala and the others stepped out of the classroom, they witnessed the scene of Tyr being chased downstairs.
“Tyr? Why is he being chased and attacked by so many people?” Neruko leaned against the window and opened it, puzzled. Damiyala smiled in response.
“Maybe he did something he shouldn’t have again.”
“Something he shouldn’t have done?”
“We could probably find out by asking Yuehai.”
“Oh, right. I’ll send a magic voice stone to Yuehai!” Neruko said and acted immediately, taking out a beautifully carved magic voice stone and adjusting it to Yuehai’s frequency before sending it over.
“Hey, Yuehai, where are you?”
“Neruko, is that you? I’m in the cafeteria, but there was a little incident just now.”
“A little incident? Ah, it’s not about Tyr, is it?”
“You saw it too? What about Damiyala and the others?”
“Damiyala is beside me, and the others probably have different elective classes.”
“Anyway, can you guys see if you can help Tyr out? Consider it a favor from me.”
“Oh, come on, what’s the big deal among us? Helping Tyr deal with those people is nothing, easy peasy.”
“No, no, no, I mean helping him hide. Anyway, could you let Damiyala take over?”
“Oh.” Neruko obediently agreed and handed the magic voice stone to the blue-haired girl beside her.
“Hey, Yuehai, what’s going on?”
“Could you do me a favor? After all, it’s because of me that Tyr is being chased by so many people. Let’s figure out a way to hide him first, and I’ll come over right away.”
“Oh, even though letting things play out seems like it could be fun, since you’re saying so, Neruko and I will naturally help.”
“Well, thank you. I’ll treat you both to a meal at the Sanctum Grand Hotel later.”
“The Sanctum Grand Hotel… The cafeteria here at the Sanctum provides free meals. Don’t give it such a fancy name if you don’t want to pay a dime.”
Yuehai, caught out by Damiyala, chuckled awkwardly before repeating once again.
“In short, I’ll leave this matter to you.”
