Chapter 138 The World’s Worst Rescue

“Than-”

Before the word was even out of her mouth-

Steven killed it stone dead with a single sentence.

Finished

He pointed at his own temple and made a circling motion. “You seem kinda not that bright up here.”

Fiona stared at him.

She genuinely blanked out for a solid 10 seconds.

He was calling me stupid?

In her entire life–every single year of it–nobody had ever said anything like that to her.

Everywhere she went…

People always fell over themselves praising her. Prodigy. Goddess. Campus queen. Brilliant beyond

measure.

And in his mouth, she was just some pretty face who wasn’t very smart.

Fiona felt a kind of fury she couldn’t even name.

It was the same feeling as when Steven had bolted earlier.

Did this guy not possess a single shred of chivalry?

She was an SS–rank Awakened and the academy’s reigning beauty.

In his eyes, apparently, she was worth less than nothing.

It took her a moment to process.

“You-!”

Fiona felt a surge of rage with absolutely nowhere to direct it.

If she’d had even a drop of power left, she absolutely would have challenged him to a fight.

Steven’s face was blank. “Me what?

“You’re in a life–or–death situation, and instead of calling for help, you dump every last ounce of energy into killing the beast.

“How is that any different from a suicide mission?

“No, wait–it’s worse than a suicide mission. It’s just plain suicide.

So, was I wrong to say you’re not that bright?”

Fiona’s face flushed scarlet, but she couldn’t find a single word to counter him.

Was I really that worthless in his eyes?

Finished

Steven added, for good measure, “I genuinely don’t know if you accidentally dumped all your stat points into looks when you were born.”

Fiona felt like she was about to explode.

“You-!”

But in the space of a blink, her eyes went red.

She was actually crying.

Glistening tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.

She’d never cried over a guy like this before, but Steven had genuinely broken through her defenses today.

“Okay, okay. Forget it. Just learn from this.

“I’ll call in rescue for you. Save us both the headache.”

The moment she heard that, Fiona’s expression changed. “Don’t.”

Steven’s brow furrowed. “And you wonder why I said you’re not bright. You still won’t call? What, do you think you’re some kind of action hero? This isn’t something that conveniently happens once a month.”

Something desperate and pained flickered behind Fiona’s eyes. “Please. Don’t call.”

Steven was on the verge of laughing from sheer exasperation.

“Fine. Die here, then.”

Fiona had never felt this wronged in her entire life.

J

If it had been literally any other boy–or anyone at all, for that matter–the instant they laid eyes on a girl like her, they would have tripped over themselves trying to help.

But this guy?

What even was this?

one.

Alan had given her the same feeling—in his eyes, and in Steven’s, her beauty was utterly irrelevant.

Steven cheerfully pocketed the level 2 beast crystal.

He reached down to pick her up.

That was when he noticed the state of her chest.

His hands stopped mid–reach, hovering awkwardly.

Fiona also became acutely aware of her current state of undress.

Punished

Her face went crimson.

“What do you think youre doing?!”

Steven scoffed. “Relax. It’s just a pair. My girlfriend has them too, and I don’t even bother looking.”

Fiona was ready to combust from humiliation.

Who just says things like that?!

“You’re a pig!”

Steven didn’t dignify that with a response. He pulled out a spare shirt, draped it over her chest, then hoisted her under one arm like a sack of potatoes.

Fiona stared in disbelief.

Is this how you carry a person?

Steven said, “Don’t overthink it. I’m just trying not to give my future wife the wrong idea.”

Fiona was losing her mind. Who tucks a person under their armpit like luggage?
