Thinking of Ashe's file, which noted that she might have "Gender Identity Disorder."
Ajie's gaze turned suggestive, though no one else could see the change in his expression.
But Rose, sitting beside her, had the feeling that punching him right now would be a sure thing.
Once she realized Ashe was referring to Rose,
Rose herself still hadn't reacted.
But Ajie's tone changed. His voice, which had been serious and earnest,
suddenly took on an indescribably sleazy quality.
Sure enough, Ajie didn't disappoint Ashe. He was still the same Ajie who'd bluffed Ge Xiaolun. The moment he opened his mouth, he said something astonishing.
"What? You've got your eye on my Rose?"
"Hey, I'm just saying, you've got good taste."
"Just look at my Rose's looks, her figure. Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"I'm telling you, die beneath the rose, and even as a ghost you'll live in style!"
"I get your situation. With conditions like yours, we all know what's what. No need to say more—I'll agree on your behalf right now."
"So, now that we've settled the terms, shouldn't we get moving?"
Ajie spoke so fast that Rose didn't have time to cut in, yet everyone could understand perfectly what he meant.
He was like a salesman pitching a product,
afraid Ashe might change her mind,
and so he suggested they get moving.
As for Rose, sitting beside him, she remained unusually quiet.
As if she tacitly approved of what Ajie had said.
But Ashe knew full well
that if she let herself get the short end of the stick like this, Rose wouldn't be Rose. Besides, Rose would surely come after Ashe to get revenge for that little "fart joke."
But that was just fine. Watching Rose's cold gaze from across the table,
Ashe extended one hand and waved it through the air a few times, as if shaking something off, making her meaning clear.
She hadn't had enough yet. And, she had to admit, Rose was impressively bouncy.
She was every bit Ashe's match. No wonder she was a Super Soldier.
Then, under Rose's slightly hostile gaze,
Ashe took the hand she'd extended and shook Ajie's.
"I'm in!"
As Ashe's words faded, the system prompt sounded in her mind.
"Side Quest: Join Super Seminary completed. Reward: 3,000 Nurturing Points."
"Side Quest: Make a lasting impression on the King of Demons completed. Reward: 3,000 Nurturing Points."
That's right. In the end, Ashe chose to join Super Seminary.
The reason wasn't complicated.
