Chapter 62

“We’re in quite the predicament here.”

Face to face with Sharine, I could sense the strange intensity in Isabel’s eyes.

What on earth am I supposed to do in this situation?

“I didn’t do anything.”

That was a lie.

Right now, I have the Remnants of the Ice Dragon in my right eye.

Sharine was my only option for help, which is why I asked her, but it’s best if as few people as possible know about the ice dragon’s remnants.

As I deflected, Isabel’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“I’ve been feeling this way since last time…”

Isabel gave us a questioning look, her eyes shifting between the two of us.

“What exactly is your relationship?”

Ever since teaming up with Sharine for the group project, Isabel has been suspicious of the two of us.

Isabel is best friends with Sharine.

But I’m in a rivalry with Isabel.

So, it was always curious to her how Sharine and I seemed to be getting along.

Upon hearing Isabel’s question, Sharine and I exchanged glances.

If someone asked what our relationship was…

“We’re bound for the future!”

Before I could answer, Sharine blurted it out first.

Since I promised to reveal my true identity after our academy activities, it could be seen as us promising a future together.

But saying it that way…

“W-what?!”

See? Isabel looks completely bewildered.

She stared at us in shock, while Sharine beamed as if she’d just given an excellent explanation.

What did she do to deserve that smugness?

It really makes me want to flick her forehead.

“B-but you said you were dating Hania…”

Looks like Isabel has heard the gossip too.

Currently dating Hania but also bound for the future with Sharine
