My... first love...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I trailed off with a benevolent smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even I, proud of my acting talent, struggled to stem the cold sweat trickling down my spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It seems I have to tell them...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy, Luce, and Alice had rushed over, no, flown over as soon as they heard about my first love issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A topic I had hoped to keep hidden forever had inevitably surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the question ‘Who indeed was Isaac’s first love?’ sharply took its place in their consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above all, the answer to this question was of a higher order than ‘Was Amy Holloway truly Isaac’s first love?’. Their reaction was understandably convincing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I’m quite curious. Depending on who your first love was, it might even affect the pecking order among these kids, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice spoke in a gentle, natural tone, stirring the emotions of Dorothy, Luce, and Kaya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Alice, you rascal...!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pouring oil on the fire, indeed...!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice herself was confident she wasn’t my first love and seemed to be leisurely enjoying the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She must have known how emotionally difficult this was for me... It was quite malicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. President? You don’t have to answer...! This sister here doesn’t really need to hear it, okay? Of course, I’m curious, but it doesn’t matter if you say I was your first love, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isaac, please answer. Then I’ll forget everything Amy Holloway said.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Isaac...?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hopeful gazes of Dorothy, Luce, and Kaya weighed heavily upon me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a testament to their love for me, which was gratifying, but the pressure was undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter who I named as my first love, they would all be unable to hide their disappointment. It was like putting a dent in a marriage that hadn’t even started yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this the weight one must bear when wearing the crown of a harem?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...It won’t do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I guess this won’t work after all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were going to push me this far, I had no choice but to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Alice, I didn’t want to play into that guy’s tricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unknowingly, a chill seeped into my sigh, and the atmosphere dipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone swallowed their breaths. Kaya released our interlocked hands and clasped hers together politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they all watching me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wasn’t angry, but... they all seemed too compliant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are things I don’t want to answer too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I said as gently as I could, with a calm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re all going to be my wives, aren’t you? So I think we shouldn’t bring up this topic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wasn’t that a bit harsh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence lingered for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy touched her witch hat and laughed awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nyahahaha...! Really, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. I didn’t want this kind of mood, you know...?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me too. I think I was a bit harsh. Sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice apologized cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Yeah. I think I was a bit too cold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy shrugged one shoulder, closed her eyes, and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have committed a sin. I’m sorry, Isaac.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I didn’t mean to get an apology... I usually prefer meeting you all over a class reunion...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, is that so? Good for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if she knew this would happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if she had been waiting, Kaya hugged my arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Isaac, may I ask for forgiveness?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forgiveness?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, with this insignificant body of mine...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya’s soft yet sinister voice crept up stealthily, secretly shaking my eardrums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the flow... It was hard to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Kaya intended to steer the mood this way from the start?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you bringing that up now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy narrowed her eyes in disbelief and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Kaya’s expression turned cold. She glared sharply at Dorothy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Dorothy. Did you do it with Isaac while I was away?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What...? Do, did it? What does that even mean...!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, Dorothy quickly avoided Kaya’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Typical Dorothy. Her attempt at playing dumb was terribly unconvincing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lucy Eltania, you too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Lucy’s curt reply, Dorothy was momentarily stunned, then exclaimed, “Yes!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed quite shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hadn’t she guessed last time that Lucy and I had a physical relationship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, it was true after all...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy murmured to herself in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, she had trouble believing what she had suspected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, our vow of premarital purity was meaningless after all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How naive. That’s why you were always second best.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy, Lucy...!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s a taboo...!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya let out a small laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, her reaction wasn’t intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so? Always the runner-up... Hearing such words from you brings back memories.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The person who couldn’t even remember me, now you can at least recall who I was. You’ve learned how to intentionally scratch my nerves?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somehow, Kaya didn’t seem too upset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does that mean I’ve become someone you care about to that extent?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Positive thinking. Think what you will.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luce was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Isaac...!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya turned her head towards me, puffed up her cheeks, and sulked. The ends of her eyebrows raised. She had a pouty face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve been working hard, haven’t you? In my absence...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m at a loss for words...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It can’t be helped. It was my fault for leaving my spot. It was bound to happen anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From noble mtl dot come\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was an act or not, Kaya’s lips soon curved into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And you don’t have to reveal who Isaac’s first love was. It’s meaningless, such things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Kaya wore a smile unique to a victor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a psychology I hadn’t been aware of tread upon my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya, this girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is she so sure she was my first love...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because of that, even though I had shared a deep love with Dorothy and Luce first, it felt like it ended with just a slight regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, those of you who broke the promise, how about giving up your seats for today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya leaned her head against me and spoke firmly to Dorothy and Luce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today, I’m going to monopolize Isaac.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya’s unilateral declaration continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Monopolize!? All of a sudden?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy reacted violently, and Luce sent a cold glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay for today, right, Isaac?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had intended to lead the mood until just a moment ago...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somehow, I felt like the flow of the conversation was going exactly as Kaya, the monopolist, had aimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t particularly dislike it, so I didn’t think to say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, if everyone agrees.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Dorothy and Luce could return to Düpendorf at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the start, neither of them had any connection to this reunion, nor the intention to attend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had rushed here, harboring misunderstandings, only to confront me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s how it is... How amusing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice wore a meaningful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well then, sweetheart, enjoy your time. I’ll be taking my leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice turned her back and began to walk away, drawing everyone’s gaze towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was a pleasure to see you, even if just for a moment today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, you’re leaving already?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s still so much to do. But I might drop by from time to time? Seeing my darling has made me lose a bit of my self-control.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Self-control...?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take care.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a secret communication spell was cast on my ears. It was Alice’s magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Have fun with the rest of them. In the end, you’ll only have eyes for me, won’t you?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice that resonated only in my ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clandestine yet meaningful statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the communication spell was lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you saying... Come back soon, please. I want to see you too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without even a glance back, Alice waved her hand and disappeared into the darkness of the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The most bothersome meddler is gone now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meddler?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Never mind. Now, Master Isaac~. I’ll clean the inside of the hideout with my wind magic~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But there are still kids left?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy and Luce were staring intently at us. Unable to refute Kaya’s words, they stood there dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, that’s better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya used a simple wind elemental spell inside the hideout. Following her precise control, the wind swept up the accumulated dust and sent it flying out the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya’s indigo hair fluttered in the breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, her blood-red eyes looked at me, a playful smile on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guess I’ll have to moan even harder, huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy and Luce’s eyes widened in shock. It was a sight to behold as Kaya, who was weaker than them, landed a solid hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya glanced at the two women and smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She intended to vividly share with them the sounds of our love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“President...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you think I would just sit by and eavesdrop?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy trembled, unable to continue speaking, shocked, while Luce looked at Kaya with a scornful gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unyielding, Kaya frowned and scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you implying you want to interfere with Sir Isaac’s grand affair? Luce Eltania, as someone who will also be Sir Isaac’s wife, shouldn’t you refrain from causing such trouble? I wonder how disappointed Sir Isaac would be...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even though you were the first to do so. Please stop being so selfish. It’s irritating every time I see it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaya snorted with derision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luce’s eyes lost their vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>",1547,"2026-06-05T21:55:37.926Z",1,"novelbin.me","faf7a110933d94d8200acecc1ee920e9288b0d82abcfd1d9bf2b79e98c0cfa69","the-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-chapter-368","the-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-chapter-366",377,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-cover.jpg"]
