Volume 4 Chapter 3 Lesson 3: Loathing, other than liking Translator:LilsXD, Wryn Proofreader:Arc, Wryn Dark Sun halted at the door to the headmasters office. He was no longer dressed as a well-behaved and obedient student. He had changed into red, tight-fitting clothing and jeans. Naturally, he was also wearing a visor to cover his face. He politely knocked on the door. Immediately, an abnormally friendly voice called out, Is that Dark Sun? Come in quickly! Hurry now! Dark Sun entered as bidden. The moment he stepped inside, he immediately went on high alert. The headmaster was not the only one in his office. There were at least 20 more people inside. Aside from the person sitting in front of the principal with his back to Dark Sun, the rest were standing in two rows. The four people standing closest to that person were wearing very formal black suits. The rest were wearing uniforms. Whether it was for battle or exercise, the uniforms looked very easy to move around in. They also carried rifles with formidable firepower on their backs while two pistols hung at their waists. Dark Sun guessed that they would definitely have knives and other weapons hidden away, but he was unsure whether they were concealed inside their jackets, strapped to their ankles or in the pockets on their thighs. Perhaps they were hidden in all those places. In other words, these people caused Dark Sun to go onto high alert. All of them were fighters, and they were fully equipped. If they all became enemies for Dark Sun, even he would have a hard time. Dark Sun stayed put at the entrance. Dark Sun! Quickly, come inside! This kid, why are you so scared of strangers? Headmaster Antonias enthusiastically waved his hand for him to come in. Seeing that he would not budge, he hurriedly chided him in a soft voice for being afraid of strangers, in case his actions offended the important guest. Dark Sun refused to move. He could not allow himself to step into a place he regarded as dangerous. He did not care whether it was polite or not. Antonias smile froze in place. He emphasised, Dark Sun, this is the man that I mentioned to you before. He is the one who possesses the most beautiful voice in the world, Mr. Lance! Have you forgotten? Come over, quickly! Dark Sun silently stood at the entrance. He was unwilling to take another step. Antonias complexion became blacker than the bottom of a pot. *Clap, clap, clap!* Lance stood up and turned around. He wore an ornately styled white suit. Around his neck was a silvery white scarf, and his hair cascaded down past his waist. His skin was as fair as his clothes. If he were to stand under a light, his whole being would become luminous. He cast a critical eye over Dark Sun, scrutinizing him from top to bottom for a long moment. After he had seen enough, he smiled. In a tone that bordered on breaking out in song, he said, As expected of someone Ive had my eyes on. Hair the colour of the moon, an extremely slender physique and that uncompromising arrogance to further accentuate your detached poise. Ah! Beauty that is unparalleled! Antonias face twitched. Although listening to that made his whole body break out in goosebumps, as long as the VIP was happy, everything was good! As long as hes happy! Dark Sun critically observed Lance as well. His clothes were rather complicated. It was not suitable for battle and had no areas to hide weapons. The condition of his skin was very good. There were no signs to show that he had experienced strict battle training. After an X-ray examination of him, he found that there was no metal on Lances body. He was not a modified human. In conclusion, this person did not pose any threat. As if he was trying to show that he was a friendly being, Lance took the initiative and walked towards Dark Sun with a smile. He lightly and gently sang as he said, Dont be afraid! Theres nothing scary about me! Although my reputation can be a bit intimidating, look! I, as a person, am not scary at all. Im not scary at all, am I? Antonias face twitched again. Does this guy have to talk as if he is singing? It made goosebumps that had not appeared for over ten years, erupt on his ageing skin. How sad. This child is so beautiful yet he is only a subordinate. Ah! Such a pity, such a waste. After Lance finished his high-pitched speech, he changed to dulcet tones, Child, do not worry. Even if there is no one to love and appreciate you, you still have me, Lance! Once the microchip discerned that Lance was not a threat, Dark Sun did not pay any attention to Lance. However, because of these words, Dark Sun suddenly changed his focus back to him. Lance saw that Dark Sun was paying attention to him and felt especially good about it. His expression was especially gentle. However, Dark Sun then took his eyes off of Lance and looked at Headmaster Antonias. He questioned in a business-like voice, Is the protective service beginning today? Before Antonias could even respond, Lance interrupted. Such a pitiful child. Are missions the only thing you care about? Are you not able to see the beauty of this world? Lance shook his head and sighed. Although he was referring to the world, his hand was placed on his chest, as if implying that he represented the world. Dark Sun did not have any intention of answering Lance. He kept looking at the headmaster, reminding him that he needed to respond to his question, Antonias. Shouldnt you at least call me Headmaster? Antonias muttered in his heart as he answered, No. Mr. Lance only came to handle some procedures beforehand. Tomorrow will be the official start date. I wanted you to meet Mr. Lance for a bit today. I have met him. After Dark Sun finished speaking, he turned around and left. He did not show any respect to those in the room. Antonias awkwardly said, Mr. Lance.. Its fine. Lance showed a compassionate smile sighing, I understand. This child is filled with pride and lacks the presence of love in his life. But it doesnt matter because there is music! Beautiful music will definitely change him. In this one month, my music will definitely fill his heart with love. Antonias arranged his facial muscles back into a smile as he said, Definitely! Well then, I will see you again three days from now, Headmaster Antonias. After Lance left, Antonias slumped onto the headmasters seat. He covered his face and sighed dejectedly. This is bad. Although on the surface, Dark Sun seems to ignore everyone, he never particularly hates any one person. So why is it that this time he seems to particularly hate this guy? He doesnt even want to look at him.. How is he going to carry out this mission? He wont leave Lance to die on purpose, right? At this point, he murmured quietly, But that guy is really detestable. Even though he seems to try and help others, his words lean towards being more hurtful and stinging. This wont do. I need Elian to pretend to be Dark Suns good friend and frequently visit Dark Sun to have a chat. Ah! Ah! I should make him pretend to be Dark Suns zealous fan that refuses to be more than half a metre away from Dark Sun! Only then will I be able to rest assured! Antonias immediately pressed the broadcast button and called for Elian to come.
