A Degenerate's Tale

Chapter 236 Recruitment

It was the third day of the week.

The mandatory classes ended, and Earl was on his search for more classes to sign up for.

He only had two days left.

During the first week of school, elective classes were held in orientation format, which meant the actual material would not be taught until the next week.

He already signed up for Runecrafting Class the other day, so he needed to find one more.

"Hello!" A familiar face with silver hair suddenly greeted him from behind.

By coincidence, he found Sharon during his search for more classes.

"Hello." He returned the greeting.

"What are you doing around these parts? Could it be that you're searching for classes?" Sharon asked enthusiastically.

"Yes." He calmly replied. Seeing her face, he suddenly came to a realization. "Now that I think about it, you're a 2nd year."

"Yep. Which means I can help you out!"

"I would be grateful."

"Let's go have a seat first, then, shall we?"

In reality, the meeting between Sharon and Earl was no coincidence. She had actually been looking for him.

Why you may ask?

She had come up with a foolproof plan to spend more time with Earl.

While racking her brain in the middle of the night, she came up with an epiphany.

'Right! I'm the Student Council President!'

As long as Earl hasn't signed up for his classes yet, she could abuse her authority!

"How about it, Earl?" Sharon smilingly asked after she laid out her proposal.

"...The Student Council?"

"Yep! You could be my secretary!"

The Student Council was considered a class, which meant it took up one of the two elective class slots.

If Earl took Sharon up on her offer, he would have Runecrafting and Student Council as his elective classes.

Looking at Sharon's pretty face, he decided to turn off his brain.

They shook hands.

"Deal."

"Yess!" Sharon celebrated.

While this conversation was happening, a certain girl stumbled upon them.

Alea had just finished signing up for her classes. When she left the building, the sight of Earl sitting with another girl left her frowning. And so, she approached them and casually sat next to Earl.

"Who might you be?" Alea asked.

Sharon was stumbled by Alea's sudden appearance. "You must be the Elven Princess. My name is Sharon. I'm a second year."

"I see." The Elven Princess nodded. Her eyes scanned up and down Sharon's figure as she evaluated her enemy. "Pardon my intrusion. I was overjoyed to see my fiancee. That's all." She casually wrapped her arms around Earl's arm as she spoke.

"Of course, that's no problem at all." Sharon forced a smile. Her eyes suddenly twitched at the intimate scene in front of her.

"Then, I will be taking him with me now, if that's alright?"

Just like that, Earl was dragged away with zero say in the situation.

Sharon was left alone at the table. Her face grew cold. "So I just have to beat her? Very well."

After seeing the Elven Princess for herself, she must admit, that the Elven Princess was very beautiful. However, she was not called the Moon Princess for no reason. She was just as beautiful as the elf. They were on an even playing field. It would come down to her attitude and what she could offer Earl as a woman.

"Elven Princess. Don't you know? Love is war."

---

Earl had no problems with Alea dragging him away. After all, she was the cutest when she was jealous. Her arms tightly braced against his arm as her breasts pressed onto him, generating a soft, cloudy sensation. He wrapped his arm around her waist and enjoyed her lithe body.

"What's wrong?" Earl asked her in a soothing tone.

Alea kept a nonchalant face. "Nothing is wrong."

"Where might you be taking me then?"

"Dinner. Is there a problem?"

Earl was overjoyed. Their relationship had been rough the past couple of years, and it seemed like it was finally starting to mend with the influence of Sharon. "Are you paying?" He asked mischievously.

"Yes."

"Then there is no problem." He nodded smilingly.

Alea reddened at the sight of Earl's smiling face. She faced the other way to hide from Earl and whispered. "I'll always take care of you."

"What did you say?"

"Shut up."

They arrived at Alea's choice of restaurant. It was a restaurant with outdoor seating by the edge of the island. Customers would be able to enjoy the wonderful sight of rolling clouds as they enjoyed their meal. It was quite a romantic location.

Alea fluently ordered food for the two of them. She knew Earl's food preferences from the top of her head, and their palates were quite similar.

Earl internally smiled at this. Even though their relationship grew strained, he knew they still loved each other. This was why he didn't see the need to use Shadow Magic to influence her mind. It was a healthy conflict. Their relationship would eventually go back to normal, and she would become accepting of his habits.

"What are you thinking about?" Alea asked, seeing Earl in deep thought.

"Just thinking about what a fine lady you are."

"I see." The Elven Princess let out a sweet smile that was capable of melting even the coldest ice caps.
