Chapter 219 Emilia
Emilia Meir.
A second-year student at the Arcadia Hunter Academy.
She was one of the people who knew Maya Evergreen best; Maya was the top student in their grade and an outstanding elemental mage.
Maya was basically the most famous person in her grade; she was both accomplished and charismatic.
She is talented, beautiful, friendly, and approachable. She never looks down on others or shows disrespect.
Instead, she often helps students who need help, especially those who are eager to improve but cannot achieve it through their own efforts.
In terms of teaching, she was even better than the so-called "teachers" in the world's top colleges, and countless students have benefited from her kindness and help.
Emilia was one of them. When she first entered first grade, Emilia did not have an easy time. She found it difficult to adapt to the new environment and the heavy burden on the students' shoulders.
In particular, Emilia awakened her trait [Follower of the Sword], which is not uncommon in the Academy but is highly respected in the Hunter profession because of its high ranking and uniqueness.
Her talent ceiling is around level 8. Although her family background is not very strong, she was still admitted to the academy. This talent ceiling is quite high, and many people believe that she will succeed.
But facing a group of classmates with their own talents and backgrounds, Emilia felt very uneasy. Her grades had not met either her own expectations or the college's requirements.
The course content put her under immense pressure, as both the theory and practice were difficult to grasp.
The academic burden, both theoretical and practical, was overwhelming for Amelia. The high expectations set by the college and herself made her feel like she was at a low point in her life. During these difficult times, her sense of isolation became more and more obvious, and she became vulnerable when facing academic and social life.
During this difficult time, Emilia was oblivious to the complexities of the world, and her beauty made her a target for some ill-intentioned people, unaware that she was walking into a trap.
She naively believed in the kindness of others and opened her heart to make friends, unaware that some of the experiences she encountered were even more brutal than the courses in college.
When she sought companionship from her classmates, she failed to perceive the truth hidden behind their seemingly friendly and approachable demeanor, and ended up in a false network of friendship. Her beautiful appearance attracted some ill-intentioned people who did not want to become her true friends, but only wanted to satisfy their own desires.
When these false friendships crumble, Amelia discovers that some people were merely using her to satisfy their fleeting emotional needs, leaving her feeling exploited and abandoned.
The friendship she sought turned out to be nothing but a mirage, which led her to question those who had approached her.
This painful realization left an indelible mark on Emilia's heart, gradually transforming the trust and naivety that once defined her interactions with men into vigilance and suspicion.
Gradually, she began to see them as wolves in sheep's clothing, disguising their intentions, until the right moment when these scarred experiences made her even more skeptical about the existence of genuine relationships between men.
After experiencing this disillusionment, fate brought a turning point. Just when she was at her lowest point, Maya Ivergreen entered her world.
Maya's arrival was like a ray of light illuminating Amelia's dark world. When Maya appeared before her, her gentle and sincere smile gave her a comfort she had never experienced before.
"Emilia, what are you doing here all alone?"
Maya's first words echoed in Emilia's mind. They were ordinary, nothing special; she'd heard similar words many times before. But Maya was different. Her tone was sincere and compassionate, and in that moment, a glimmer of hope ignited in Emilia's heart.
Maya sensed her unease and offered a helping hand with a bright smile. When needed, Maya's support became a guiding light, dispelling the shadows of suspicion and distrust that Emilia harbored towards others.
Maya's actions spoke louder than words; she built true friendships through understanding and kindness.
With Maya's unwavering support, Emilia began to lean more towards forming friendships with women.
Maya's sincerity contrasted sharply with the hypocrisy of those people, and the betrayals of the past gradually healed, replaced by a newfound trust in women.
Maya's influence played a key role in reshaping Emilia's worldview, as the once wary girl discovered that she was thriving in the company of someone like Maya.
When Emilia finds comfort and support in Maya's presence, this new friendship takes root and gradually becomes a source of strength for her.
But in this friendship, Emilia couldn't help but discover a problem: those who had once targeted her were now turning their attention to Maya.
Maya is innocent and cheerful, and clearly unaware of their complicated intentions. As Emilia observes from the sidelines, a strong sense of protectiveness wells up within her.
Maya, with her sincere kindness and open heart, became a target for those who took advantage of her naivety.
Emilia decided to prevent history from repeating itself and silently vowed to protect the Maya from wolves in sheep's clothing. This promise was deeply rooted in her heart.
These memories flooded Emilia's mind, and she couldn't help but smile as she turned to look at Maya, noticing that she was deep in thought.
Maya had beautiful purplish-pink hair, and her bright blue eyes were fixed on the table, as if the world around her did not exist.
Maya has been absent-minded lately. While it's not uncommon for her to be engrossed in her own world, she's been unusually so lately, especially since she came back.
Emilia didn't know what had happened, and Maya didn't talk about it, but she knew that something had changed inside Maya.
铃！
The bell rang, and a group of students seized the opportunity to approach Maya.
"Maya, are you alright?"
The concern in their voices was unmistakable. Amelia observed from her seat, her protective instincts instinctively aroused. She knew these students; they would always show concern whenever Maya seemed off.
Maya raised her head, her gaze shifting from the table to the group of people surrounding her, and gave them a polite smile.
“Oh, um, I’m fine,” Maya replied with a smile, her voice carrying an attractive sincerity.
"Really? You've been acting a little strange lately." Maya was never a quiet student; she was known for her love of snacks, and everyone knew that you could never refuse when she offered them.
But recently, she hasn't brought any snacks to class or shared them with anyone, so some people naturally started to suspect that something was wrong with her.
"Ah... I'm fine."
Maya answered with a smile.
The students sensed that Maya was unwilling to delve into her personal matters, so they decided not to press her further. They said their goodbyes casually and left, giving her some breathing room.
As the classroom gradually emptied, a few students stayed behind, seizing the opportunity they saw.
"Hey, Maya, I know you're very knowledgeable about 'Hunter Material Theory'. I'm having some problems with some concepts, can you help me?"
The speaker was a boy with a charming smile. His request seemed natural, but Emilia immediately sensed the hidden motive behind the question. As a helpful person, Maya often found herself in such situations.
However, most of the time, Emilia was the one who turned away these requests, so most boys disliked her wall-like behavior. Even so, no one targeted her, but now their attitude was different, and their eyes were hostile.
Emilia was prepared to intervene again. She knew that Maya was someone who wouldn't refuse to help, and she had already come up with some excuses in her mind. Even if they didn't work, she would silently follow Maya and leave with them.
But to her surprise, Maya smiled and declined their request: "Sorry... I have things to do."
This was the first time the Maya had refused such a request, which caught them off guard.
The boy who approached Maya, named Alex, suddenly felt embarrassed. His charming smile vanished instantly, and he quickly exchanged a glance with his friend Chris.
Alex was filled with confusion and embarrassment; his confidence was severely damaged, and he was speechless for a moment.
“Uh, okay, Maya, then... maybe next time?” Alex tried his best to sound nonchalant, but his voice still betrayed his embarrassment.
Emilia couldn't help but laugh at the sight, feeling a surge of joy at Alex's devastated expression.
Chris watched this scene from the side, his eyebrows slightly raised. He had thought Maya would respond obediently as usual, but her refusal surprised both him and Alex.
“Alright, then we won’t bother her any longer.” Chris said with a smile, trying to ease the awkward situation, but there was a subtle pleasure in his eyes. He was secretly happy for Maya’s rejection. He didn’t actually like those who took advantage of Maya’s kindness. Seeing Alex’s frustration, he was secretly pleased.
His friend Alex is overly obsessed with his appearance, believing that looks are the most important thing. So far, this approach has worked on some girls, but Chris knows that his friend needs a real shock, and that moment has finally arrived.
"Goodbye then." Maya said, standing up. She was ready to leave the classroom, and had packed all her things in her bag.
“Goodbye…” Alex stammered as he watched Maya leave, and Emilia stood up and followed closely behind.
Emilia felt a surge of pride and pleasure at seeing that they had received the treatment they deserved.
“Maya, where are we going?” She deliberately emphasized the word “we” to let them know the relationship between them.
But Maya suddenly stopped, turned to face Emilia, and looked at her with an unusual seriousness in her eyes.
"Emilia, can I have some time alone today?"
Emilia's world collapsed in an instant...
