Just make sure you're back at the hotel after these two weeks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian sternly spoke, her sharp gaze swept over us, leaving no room for arguments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Ma'am!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students replied in unison, and I couldn't help but chuckle at their enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My laughter caught their attention, and a few of them glanced my way, smiling. No one said a word about it, but their smiles felt warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's liberating...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At our academy, there wasn't any of that nonsense about noble bloodlines or social classes. Whether you were a commoner or came from some high-ranking family, it didn't matter here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone treated each other with respect, like equals. Not to mention all those warm and kind gazes towards me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students even looked up to me—a lot, actually. I even became something like a big brother to them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone had a problem, they knew they could come to me, and somehow, this body would always find a way to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing like in the [Eternum Academy] where the novel revolves around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the students hate each other, they create their groups and fight against themselves to the point of using various dirty tricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, seeing this kind of atmosphere...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's really liberating...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, I and Aestrea had already become one. I didn't know how to feel about it, but since this is now my life...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'll enjoy to the fullest while fulfilling Aestrea's wish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aestrea! Let's grab something to eat—we're starving!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, let's check out that famous Lavousier's Café everyone keeps talking about!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I knew it, a small crowd of students had gathered around me, their eyes bright with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn't help but smile at their enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let's go. I'm starving too—long trip and all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them smirked. \"You're paying, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me? You're the ones dragging me along! Shouldn't you be the ones paying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ehhhh? That's so unfair!\" they groaned in unison, their playful complaints drawing out my laughter again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments like this made everything worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, we went to Lavousier's Café.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment we stepped inside, a lovely brown-haired woman in a maid outfit greeted us warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile was soft and welcoming, but her eyes widened slightly when she noticed just how large our group was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A table for sixteen please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She blinked for a second, then quickly collected herself, nodding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. Just a moment, please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a small bow, she walked off toward the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking the chance, I took a look around the café.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, the café was stunning, to say the least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warm lighting, polished wood floors, and elegant decorations made it feel more like a luxurious lounge than a simple café.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa! This place is just like the rumors!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I wasn't the only one surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right? I heard they've got a Master-Level Pianist here who plays live for the customers. If you pay extra, you can even request a song!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seriously? Should we request one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students around me were already buzzing with excitement, but then all their gazes locked onto me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should decide!\" they chimed in unison, clearly enjoying my discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These guys were too good at this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine,\" I replied with a small sigh, furrowing my brows before flashing a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if we're doing this, you're all paying for the song.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?! That's not fair! We're already paying for the food!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I chuckled softly. \"Alright, alright, I'm kidding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Even though it's quite unfair... ahem.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the maid returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your table is ready. Please follow me,\" she said with a graceful bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um, sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We trailed after her up a spiral staircase to one of the upper floors. She led us to a large table perfectly set for sixteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sat in a cozy, semi-private corner, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows offering a gorgeous view of the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what caught my attention wasn't exactly the view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated at a nearby table were five familiar faces: Lucas, Ella, and Rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two... I didn't know them at all. But, Lucas was with four girls—it was safe to say they were either heroines or side ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I didn't expect to meet them so soon...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please have a seat and take your time with the menu,\" the maid said, bowing again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you're ready to order, just call for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you,\" I replied, and with that, she left us alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, what should I eat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm, so many choices! It's hard to pick!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, it's what you'd expect from a place like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were already diving into their menus, chatting excitedly about what to order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I flipped mine open but already had my choice in mind—strawberry pancakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simple, sweet, and perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I might order a black coffee with that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, just let me know when you're ready, and I'll call the beautiful lady over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I said, putting the menu on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sureeeee!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alrighty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, I pulled out my phone and started looking at the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't really the news, but the student's news. In other words, some kind of news but private to all the five academies's students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Demon Hunter Reappears Again!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Demons Were Obliterated By The Demon Hunter Once Again!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the articles were about the 'Demon Hunter' which was none other than Lucas. He was the mystery that everyone wanted to solve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even those four around him would probably not know his identity until next year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not like I read the entire novel to know it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Aestrea Moon, Who Is He?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" My eyebrows raised in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm, what is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you're looking at?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student sitting on my right leaned over curiously as te one on my left also joined in before I could react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"OH! Guys, look!\" The one on my right snatched my phone, waving it around to grab everyone's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aestrea has become one of the hot topics!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Seriously?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's it about?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They instantly became excited and started checking their phones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aestrea Moon, the Moonlight Swordsman...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them began reading the article dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In one of the hunting festivals, he disguised himself and single-handedly took down five high-ranking demon beasts, leaving behind their corpses—without their cores!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, what?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It says they found out it was him because he dropped his identity card at the scene!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My stomach sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder I couldn't find my old ID and had to get a new one...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I muttered absentmindedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah. That was a mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"IT REALLY WAS YOU?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, they turned to me with excitement all splattered on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, yeah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's so cool!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, you can be considered a celebrity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right!

Maybe you want to join their party.\" Lucas smirked, tapping his spoon against the cup lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shot him a glare. \"As if. It's just distracting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two girls at the table, Maya and Iris, exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maya, the livelier of the pair, chuckled softly. \"I think it's kind of nice. You don't see big groups like that all getting along these days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, but did you hear who's with them?\" Iris added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas raised a brow. \"Who? I wasn't exactly paying attention to their conversation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aestrea Moon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That got everyone's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Rose, who'd been busy flipping through the menu, looked up. Even she couldn't help but ask with a surprised tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Moonlight Swordsman who just got his identity discovered?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iris nodded, brushing a strand of her ash-blonde hair behind her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The very same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing their words, Ella, who had been quiet until now, went completely still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rosy flush crept up her cheeks, and her lips pressed together in a tight, wobbly smile. Her fingers twitched slightly against the table like she didn't know what to do with her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" Maya raised her eyebrows as her lips rose into a teasing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's this, Ella? You're looking a little… flustered. Could it be... someone has a thing for the Moonlight Swordsman?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A-ah... I-I d-don't!\" Ella stammered, her voice cracking as she shot up straight in her chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands flew to her cheeks, as though she could physically push the blush away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh-huh,\" Maya said, clearly unconvinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You sure? Because I distinctly remember you going on and on about how he saved you that one time. What was it you said? 'So strong,' 'so graceful'—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maya, stop!\" Ella's voice rose as she waved her hands desperately, her embarrassment practically radiating off her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, he saved you? When was this?\" Iris leaned forward curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last spring,\" Maya replied, her grin turning devilish. \"She was surrounded by demon beasts, and guess who swooped in like a knight in shining armor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ooooooh,\" Iris and Rose said in unison, both looking at Ella wryly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So... that's why you've been rejecting my advances...' Lucas frowned deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ella buried her face in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hate all of you,\" she mumbled in a muffled voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I go and get his autograph for you?\" Iris giggled and asked Ella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-no!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shee, what's the problem? If you aren't fast enough, he may be grabbed by another vixen! By then, you aren't going to have any chance with him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Rose joined the fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I...\" Ella's face started rippling like a tomato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on guys, you've already teased her too much.\" Lucan chimed in, trying to calm down those teasing maniacs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh... you're such a fun killer.\" Maya pouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I hate you guys!\" Ella, still flustered, pushed back her chair and shot to her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spun around to storm off—only to collide into something solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ow…\" Ella stumbled back, clutching her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when she looked up, her heart stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of her, a familiar handsome man with glowing red eyes stood, with his hand extended towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a worried tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She froze upon hearing his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face also seemed to have turned into a whole new shade of red.\u003C\u002Fp>",1832,"2026-06-03T09:18:17.018Z","2026-06-03T09:18:22.334Z",1,"novelbin.me","a952d85a808fd40217e248eb69888f7bc45bd92f6f54f32edfbf462f67f7b855","the-strongest-student-of-the-weakest-academy-chapter-3","the-strongest-student-of-the-weakest-academy-chapter-1",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-strongest-student-of-the-weakest-academy-cover.jpg"]
