My Bothersome Life - Chapter 369

“My fiancée’s head is bleeding from last night’s attack!” Luke yelled at the high school teachers.

My forehead was nastily bruised with a big cut from the impact since the horn had sharp edges. I never knew its edges near where the sound would come out would be sharper than knives. I pressed his handkerchief against the injury to prevent the blood from dripping down to the rest of my face. Instead of deciding to heal it immediately, Luke pulled me to the teacher’s office to make a point out of this injury.

“My partner isn’t waking up,” Alex held Shelly in his arms.

“I can’t hear from one of my ears anymore!” One of Miliana’s ears continued to drip with blood.

The high school teachers began to use heal on me, Shelly and Miliana first, almost using all the mana they possessed. I sighed in relief when Shelly opened her eyes for the first time after collapsing. The teacher stiffened as they noticed Luke, Alex and Charles, waiting for their turns to get their ears and arms recovered from last night.

By the time the teachers were finished, they became scared of us like the ones in middle school. I hugged Shelly with tears filling my eyes, glad that she was able to sit down normally with us like nothing had happened. Meanwhile, this incident snapped all of Luke’s patience he had towards the teachers.

“Do you have any safety precautions in place? At least an A-class level monster has been affecting us for weeks. We trusted you to keep your students from being harmed, but my fiancée gets injured while you say you have been investigating?” Luke wasn’t going to let them off.

“What if my partner permanently lost her hearing?” Charles added.

“And what if my partner never woke up?” Alex couldn’t hide his anger towards them.

“My hearing could have been lost,” Miliana wiped her furious tears from her eyes.

The teachers stayed silent, feeling worried that they may lose their jobs at this rate. The children from the three most prestigious families in the district were injured with their respective partners who also came from families with high wealth and power. The donations coming from their families was where most of their salaries came from with the big bonuses.

“We’ll be pulling our donations out,” Luke made the verdict.

“And we will be taking a few days of leave from today,” he didn’t wait to get their approval.

“The Lumiere and Ruette families will be also pulling the donations out while taking the same leave,” Charles tried to comfort Miliana.

“Us as well,” Shelly shuddered from remembering how she had collapsed.

I lightly closed the door from practice when Luke lectured me for almost slamming the door on him. I smiled as I would be finally able to leave the school as I waited for our hover cars to come. In the meantime, the high school teachers contacted their colleagues in the middle school section to send recordings of the lessons and some extra material if needed.

“These are the times when we shouldn’t listen to the teachers,” Luke tried to teach me while we decided to stay in a neighbourhood with all their mansions close to each other.

“Are they even teachers at this rate?” I questioned their authority after suffering so much.

“They’re not,” Miliana answered for him, still unable to get rid of her anger towards them.

“They’re not doing their jobs,” she clenched her fists.

I stepped into the hover car as we waved farewell to our classmates. Luke continued to study me if the teachers properly healed my injuries as he frowned from recalling how the teachers responded. I relaxed in the silence inside the car as I wished it would continue forever. As soon as I arrived in the mansion, I changed into my nightgown to flop onto Luke’s bed. I wasn’t taking any chances of being alone if the poking did come to us here as well.

“Can we sleep together?” I hugged his pillow.

“You can take that side of the bed,” Luke allowed me to continue sleeping with him.

Once I slipped into the comfy blankets, I closed my eyes in the daylight, hoping nothing would happen. I smiled as no poking or music could be heard as I continued to close my eyes. I also hugged Luke’s arm, feeling comfort from having him next to me when a a-class monster was running around. It felt so nice that I left my guard down and decided to take a deep rest.

On a hot summer day, my forehead was warm from the sunlight. I gasped as I found myself in a part of the first district I have never been inside before. Squinting my eyes from the light, a young teenage girl held a violin in one of her hands beside me. Propping the violin against her shoulder, she lifted the bow to begin playing as I shifted a bit away from her. Although she was in a crowded area since she was near the front of a big corporate building, no one stopped to enjoy her performance.

She was invisible to them as people entered in and out of the building during lunch break. I flinched as most of the notes were out of tune while the song choice was poor. But she continued to play, ignoring the poor responses from the audience. Wondering which building I was near, I looked up to search for the large logo. Rubbing my eyes if what I was seeing was real, Roselia Asset Management was reflected into my eyes with the family crest stamped beside it.
