Chapter 44 - Game Pt IV: (The Best, Prettiest, Coolest, Magi

n

n

nDouble Kill

nThese two words flashed in front of everyone's screen with a blue halo indicating that it was 2045's team that had accomplished the kills.

n

"Just how much have you been playing Genie?

" Kayden asked, with a soft chuckle. He was hiding in the bushes waiting for an opportune moment to ambush the two people who were currently fighting against the Guild Leader and BBAD.

nGenie played more than any of them and so it was only natural that her skills were above theirs in most respects.

n

"Who knows, why don't you first tell me what kind of big shot you brought into our team?

" Genie's voice was laced with excitement that she reserved only for games.

nThe others probably never heard her talking in such a way about anything except Mobba, the anime which she watches while playing Mobba and the 2D characters taped to her walls.

nWell currently it was Mobba, but there were also some other games she played during her free time since she couldn't always make up a 5-person team and she didn't particularly like playing with strangers.

nThey had the tendency of dragging her down.

nOf course, hot guys were also welcome, but only for gawking at.

nTalking… not so much. Especially if anything interesting about them didn't extend past their looks.

n

"Hm, what do you mean?

" Kayden was still hiding in the bushes and so he didn't mind deviating a little from the game, it wasn't as if he would be killed as easily as Handsomer than the Others had.

nHe subconsciously looked at 'the big shot he had brought to the team' unclear about what Genie meant.

n

"You ask him! He's the one who killed the two. Let's meet up later I want to meet this guy.

"

n

"Well, I'm sure you guys were going to meet at some point but isn't this a little too impromptu?

" Kayden was a little startled by this development, but it wasn't a bad idea either.

n

"Not at all.

" She responded calmly.

n

"We have a class in a bit, so I guess we can meet up after class? Can you come to the coding department? It's classroom 2002.

"

nTheodore still found it amusing how everyone spoke as if he himself were not there. They promptly decided everything without consulting with him, but he had also given his silent consent.

n

"Genie is also attending our university?

" Theodore still paid attention even if he didn't comment when they were talking about him.

n

"Mhm.

" Kayden knew very well that Genie was still listening, as was everyone else.

nThey were all waiting for him to say one wrong word and he was not planning to give them that honor.

nSeeing as Kayden wasn't going to add anything else to her introduction, Genie did it for him.

n

"Yeah, I'm at this school and I'm your senior sister too. So, when you see me walking by, remember to greet me as 'The best, prettiest, coolest, magical senior sister' got it?

"

nTheodore:

"…

"

nKayden who looked at Theodore:

"…

"

nDyson who was listening in on the conversation:

"…

"

nBBAD who was also listening in on the conversation:

"…

"

nThough they knew of Genie's antics… well yeah that was about all they could say. Anything else and they would most likely be hunted down and mercilessly killed.

nAnd they could count on the fact that she knew where they lived.

n

"Let's not get into the details about how Theodore doesn't even know who you are and what you look like. What are the chances of him seeing you on this campus? Or better yet, what are the chances that you leave the dorm enough to meet anyone?

" Kayden was astonished by Genie's shamelessness, but seeing as they were friends, he would kindly help change the topic.

n

"Oh, so his name is Theodore huh? I can find him with that!

" Genie said enthusiastically.

nTheodore clearly felt a shiver crawl up his spine as he gave Kayden a glare. He didn't even know why. He somehow felt violated in some way…

nIt was scary, to say the least.

nKayden just shrugged.

n

"By the way, since you've given me, your name, it should be only right that I give you mine, right? I'm Ginevra, but you can call me Gen.

"

nHe felt like Gen was riding on a completely different wavelength. While everyone was still stuck on the title she had given herself, she had already long moved on and the others didn't seem to be capable enough to keep up.

n'Who the heck gave you my information? It was this idiot over here, get it right.' Theodore inwardly thought.

nHe didn't hold back as he gave Kayden another glare, narrowing his eyes, making them sharper than before.

nTo be fair, he wouldn't have minded letting her know anyways since she was Kayden's friend.

nIf anything went wrong and she was in fact some creepy stalker, he could always go find Kayden and strangle him.

nSeeing Kayden turn the other way, he also gave up. It wasn't worth the effort.

n

"I got it best, prettiest, coolest, magical senior sister. Yeah, I'm Theodore. But we shouldn't be biased like this. I'm sure that Kayden feels the same way when I say that calling you best, prettiest, coolest, magical senior sister is an honor. It would be great if you could allow him to do so as well.

"

nHe flashed Kayden a smirk.

nTheodore could tell that these bunch couldn't go much about Gen either.

nKayden's eyes twitched heavily when he heard what Theodore said, giving him a fierce glare.

nTo which Theodore just shrugged.

nBBAD almost didn't burst into laughter.

nWith everyone's comms still being on suppressed laughter could be heard from all three of the people who were listening, including Gen.

nShe didn't feel embarrassed at all by her new title. Even though she said that as a passing joke, she was still somewhat flattered that Theodore had remembered it word for word.

n

"So, what do you say Squire Kayden?

" Gen used her most noble voice as she talked down to the 'attendant'

n

"Yes, your majesty best, coolest, magical senior sister.

" Kayden had long surrendered beforehand.

nDyson and BBAD were not at all shocked by how easily Kayden had given in while Theodore thought that he would have at least put up a little more of a fight.

nThought it seemed like Kayden was more whipped than he, himself would like to admit. As for why this was, he didn't know, and it didn't seem appropriate to ask.

nThey were still playing as they were talking, and it was only then that he realized how Theodore was playing.

nHe felt like a whole new world had been opened up to him…
