Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 315: Playing Hard To Get

Now that Arit was done with that, she focused instead on the twins and what Mark said about them being investigators. Arit seemed perfectly calm on the outside, but on the inside, her mind was racing as she conversed with the Queen.

'So the both of them are investigators? Investigators for what? Wait, is it because of what we did? The investigators came here to find out who killed those fools. We need to get rid of them. We can't let them run around asking questions.'

But won't that make things worse for us?

'No, it will make things harder for the KING if those investigators keep running around. And you heard what that girl said. We both heard it. Doesn't it just make your blood boil? Isn't it maddening! How dare she declare any form of love for our KING!?'

Arit's hands tightened into fists and she glared at the front of the class as Tina finally opened the door and entered as if nothing ever happened. Her uniform was as perfect as it was before she was thrown out and there was a wide smile on her face as she started to make her way towards the back of the class.

Tina stopped in front of Arit's seat and grinned down at her before turning to Mark with a pout.

"That wasn't very nice, Marky."

"Shut up, and don't call me that shitty nickname. Next time you try something like that, I'll crack your skull."

Tina shivered in excitement and Arit's nose twitched as she smelt the distinct scent of arousal on Tina. Wait, was she turned on by Mark insulting her? A flash of yellow crossed Arit's eyes for a moment, but it disappeared too quickly for anyone to notice and Arit glared up at Tina with enough hatred to make anyone flinch.

'This fucking bitch!'

Tina's smile widened as she turned back to Arit.

"That's a good look in your eyes. If only you were a superhuman, I would have enjoyed fighting you. I want to sit down here. Fuck off."

Arit's eyes narrowed as her anger became something physical in her chest, almost choking her with its intensity! When she spoke, her voice seemed to echo in the class.

"Go fuck yourself."

"Gasp~!"

More than half the class gasped in shock as they heard Arit curse for the first time in their lives. Arit was the perfect student in the school and everyone saw her as the ideal person that would never be caught cursing or acting rashly, so it was a shock to all of them that the model student could lash out like this!

Tina almost seemed excited by Arit's response as she reached out to touch Arit's cheek.

A hand suddenly grabbed her by the forearm and Tina's face twisted in pain as she felt the bones in her forearm crack from the force behind that hold! She turned to the side and her smile withered as she saw the blank look of anger on Mark's face.

"Watch yourself."

Tina swallowed. Even someone as masochistic as her could understand what it meant for a SOVEREIGN to give you that sort of look. She had gone too far. Tina pulled her hand back, but Mark's grip did not loosen at all as he kept looking right at her. Finally, Tina sighed.

"Fine, fine, I won't touch her. She's too boring anyway, you're the one I really want."

Tina grinned at Mark and Mark narrowed his eyes for a moment before he finally released her and let her go. Tina put her hand behind her and gave Arit one last glance with a smile before going to the seat behind Mark and glaring at the boy sitting there.

"Fuck off."

Crash!

The boy immediately tried to scramble to his feet as he grabbed his things, but he was moving so quickly that he missed his step and fell to the ground! Tina looked down at him in irritation and the boy quickly rushed to get to his feet and leave! Once he was gone, Tina sat down on the seat and rested her chin on her palm with a sigh while gazing at Mark from behind.

Arit watched all of this happen with her hands still tightened into fists, and as time went on, the anger inside her started to grow even more, until finally, Queen reached a conclusion.

'We're going to kill her.'

At the side, Turner's curious gaze never strayed from Arit. He glanced down at her tightened fist before watching to see how her face twisted in anger. Turner hummed at Arit's reactions before he turned to continue listening to the teacher.

"Interesting."

...

Ring~!

The bell for lunch rang and the teacher started to put away her things while giving the students instructions to finish off their work before the next class. The teacher kept stealing glances at where Mark, Tina, and Turner were seated, and it was obvious that she was hesitating to leave because she wanted to talk to at least one of them.

But after some time, she finally decided that she should keep her dignity as a teacher in front of her students, and she just packed up her things and left the class.

Once she left, the students started to get off their seats and congregate into their cliques. Some of them left the class to go and eat in the cafeteria, but some of them just sat in their groups, talking among themselves while stealing glances at Mark and the other two superhumans in their class.

There were even some students from other classes who were passing by while stealing glances inside the class. The news of the new superhumans joining the school had spread like wildfire, and it seemed that everyone was either talking about it or they were curious to come and confirm it for themselves.

But no one was confident enough yet to actually enter the class to talk to the superhumans. No matter how curious they got, they weren't bold enough to walk up to people who were basically celebrities.

Mark was sleeping with his head down on his desk, and once the teacher left the class, Arit reached into her bag and brought out the box of food that she made for him. She placed the hot container on his cheek, and Mark blinked slowly before opening his eyes. Arit smiled at his droopy expression for a moment before putting the box on the table and putting her hand on his cheek softly.

She shifted some of his stray hair behind his ear.

"You need a haircut. It's already getting too long."

Arit watched Mark as she ran a hand through his hair, and a small blush rose on her cheek as she saw his full face illuminated by the light from the window. Arit actually liked Mark's hair when it was a little long; it gave him a dangerous look like he was some protagonist from a shoujo manga. But she also knew that it would only get in his way during fights, so it was best for him to keep it short.

"Alright, when we get home, let's do it."

Mark nodded calmly while sitting up and cracking his neck, and Arit smiled. Arit was the one that always helped Mark cut his hair when it got too long. For her, it was a way for them to get closer, and she enjoyed it a lot.

Even before Arit knew that Mark was a superhuman and she thought that he was just a member of a gang, she was helping him cut his hair because she thought that it would allow him to fight easily against other gang members.

"Eh? You guys live together? That has to be against some sort of school rule. Don't tell me you're doing immoral things at your young age! Let me join!"

Arit felt her eye twitch as Tina's voice suddenly echoed from behind Mark. She turned around to glare at Tina, and Tina just grinned at her while reaching out and putting her hands on Mark's shoulder.

"Hey, Marky, gimme a bite of your food. I didn't bring any."

Mark stabbed Tina's hand with a fork, and Tina laughed while retracting her hands immediately!

"You love playing hard to get, don't ya?"

"Shut up. Don't talk to me while I'm eating."

Tina grinned.

"So it's fine while you're not eating? Okay, I'll be waiting."

Mark sighed internally as he heard Tina say this. He already knew that Tina was not the sort of person to take no for an answer, and it would be hell to make her back off, so he decided that he would just ignore her antics as much as possible.
