The academy’s training suit was a little too perfect for them, so the students had already taken the liberty to bring gear of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia’s eyes slightly wandered around the hall, spotting if anyone had noticed their stalking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, Amelia! This is what life means. Don’t you want to get a boyfriend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia’s answer was plain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jessi looked at her for a moment longer before turning her gaze to the far end of the training hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, someone like you won’t understand the plight of average people like us. Not everybody is as bold as you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bold?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single word caught Amelia’s attention as she looked towards Jessi, only to find the girl searching for more boys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, bold. I mean... not everyone has the guts to approach the Lava Boy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia’s face twisted into a light frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lava Boy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jessi paused for a moment, seeing the confusion on her friend’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt like laughing but managed to restrain herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I meant Kael, your best friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He isn’t my friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia had involuntarily raised her voice at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, sure. Not everyone eats with strangers... I mean, that would be kind of creepy, don’t you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! I eat with him because that’s the only time he sits in one place, and I can talk to him about all the stuff.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia defended herself after a slight pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stuff like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know what I am talking about. And what’s this about Lava Boy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that. He is currently the hottest material around here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling, Jessi winked at Amelia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will do some warm-up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tired of her friend’s antics, Amelia began to move towards one of the private training rooms, only to be stopped by Jessi, as she grabbed the former’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though I like this wild version of yours, please stop with this new training fetish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia insisted, but Jessi didn’t release her arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The bald bastard’s going to arrive soon! Let’s chat till then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa... okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her request succeed, Jessi gave up her hold on Amelia, making the latter lean against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... tell me, if not a friend, then what’s the deal between you two?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought we were going to chat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are chatting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay. Let me do the warm-up then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amelia! Aren’t you my friend? Or is this a betrayal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am just curious. Tell me, please!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia sighed as she leaned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are just classmates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why does he talk with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He talks with everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jessi didn’t know what to say. Amelia was the smartest person she had ever known, but that was only limited to the academic sector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In everything else, she was as smart as a jellyfish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amelia... do you really think he talks with everyone like he does with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia’s reply was instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Jessi wanted to deny it, remembering Kael Frost, maybe...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That guy really talked with everyone out there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still... he talks with you differently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she had initiated the topic, Jessi couldn’t simply back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And how is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s like... he sees you as a woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jessi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jessi clenched her fists to let her anger dissolve before she did anything she would regret later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, dear! I know that. What I meant was that he looks at you in that way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jessi arched her eyebrows and made an expression that Amelia found to be the most suspicious thing she had seen to date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that her friend didn’t get the point, Jessi took it upon herself to clarify things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe... he wants to date you. Make you his girlfriend or something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Amelia paused for a few seconds before looking at Jessi again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He doesn’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her answer was short yet firm, with no hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And why do you think so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Jessi was getting even more curious than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He calls me a kid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia replied, shrugging her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I don’t think you call someone that if you like them... or he might if he likes... kids?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia’s eyes widened in realization, but soon—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. That can’t be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course it can’t be. Don’t go making assumptions about innocent people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crossing her arms below her chest, Jessi voiced her thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Innocent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a short silence between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, listen! What if he liked you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He doesn’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I asked what if!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you even asking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia couldn’t understand the reasoning behind this weird interrogation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean, if he asks you out on a date or something, will you accept it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why should I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because he’s hot! He’s cool! He’s cute! He’s—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don’t you ask him out yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia questioned Jessi, noticing her unusual interest in Kael.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would have. But I know it would be futile. I am not a match for him. But—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jessi leaned closer to Amelia, just inches away from her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are a match for him. A royalty with beauty and brains.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia thought for a moment before narrowing her eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jessi, he calls me a kid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jessi stepped back, her eyes wandering over Amelia’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia was caught off guard by the sudden scan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... I can see why he might have called you a kid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jessi spoke up, her eyes aimed at Amelia’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia too followed her gaze and looked down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They look a little on the smaller side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking towards Amelia, Jessi bent down a little to get a proper look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But mother said they are good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia’s eyes remained fixed on her own chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know they are good. And your mother knows that too. But—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jessi approached Amelia from the side and leaned in to whisper in her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kael doesn’t know that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you will have to let him know that. I think it’s time for some new shopping.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like buying some tops that would flex your assets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia just kept looking at Jessi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why should I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you want him to like you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An instant reply that made Jessi pause for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... it’s not for him. Consider it as showing the best version of yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why should I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why shouldn’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Amelia found the logic acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>",1100,"2026-05-30T14:45:47.278Z","2026-06-01T04:31:30.507Z",1,"novelbin.me","3ec971f8687527d41b011c94398ca4096668c2f58cd8d92d8081cf062d2f1710","the-villain-reborn-as-game-s-final-boss-chapter-146","the-villain-reborn-as-game-s-final-boss-chapter-144",257,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-villain-reborn-as-game-s-final-boss-cover.jpg"]
