The next day, Ray was seen sleeping in the middle of the class.
Yesterday was too hectic for him. He had spent the whole day, ruining Skye’s protagonist halo and increase the affection of Emi.
He even pulled the extra effort to act as a scholar and use the master-level poetry to maximize Emi’s still hazy mind to his benefit.
Ray has checked the result and he was pretty satisfied with it.
He has increased the villain halo by 15, 10 from the mission and bonus 5 from his plot. It was an adequate result, even so, he still needs another 45 villain halo to even out the protagonist halo.
Emi’s affection for him also skyrocketed, reaching 40 points in a go.
He was bewildered at first, but it was useless to think much about it. Either way, the result works to his advantage.

Ray was still dozing when suddenly chalk hit him right in the head.
*Chalk hitting head noise*
“Ouch”
The newly wake-up Ray was still in a bit of a daze. He looks around and found nothing important, So he was going to return for the second round of sleep, but a slap on his back prevented him from it.
*Slap*
*Screaming noise*
“Hey, what’s wrong with you?”
There was some irritation in his tone, he looks forward and noticed that the slap was coming from their homeroom teacher.
“…”
” *Sigh* Ray, I don’t know what’s going on. Maybe you were in trouble but please stay awake up during the history class.”
The teacher didn’t berate Ray harshly as he knows how enthusiastic Ray was at learning. Perhaps he was really in some trouble and couldn’t concentrate on his study.
” Sorry teacher, it’s not that much of a trouble. I was just thinking that historical class was not that important.” Ray replied without much thinking.
The teacher “….. ”
Everybody else ” …. ”
Blue nerve begins to appear in the teacher’s forehead. Maintaining his calm image, the teacher slowly said.
” Ray, History is more important than you think. Studying history allows us to observe and understand how people and societies behaved, so we wouldn’t make the same mistakes as our predecessor.”
Hearing the teacher’s words, Ray nodded his head signaling that he understands. He was in thought for a bit and then he says.
” Teacher, if the history is really important. Then how about we learn something from your browser history?”
The teacher “….. ”
Everybody else ” …. ”

Later, Ray spent the rest of his day standing in front of the class with an idiot sign in his hand.
[ DING!!! Congratulations to the host for obtaining another 10 villain halo.]
Aina’s notification wasn’t surprising to Ray, he has known that he could obtain villain halo by acting irritating to other people.
‘ Well, it’s good to hear you again Aina’
[ It’s good to be here too host. It was already 2 chapters where Aina didn’t get any screentime, and Aina has started to think that the author might have forgotten about Aina.]
‘ …. ‘
[ Back to our topic host, because of the host intervention, Emi Eleanore has completely cut her ties with Skye, resulting in another change in the timeline.]
Ray was curious at Aina’s revelation. The last time it happened, the protagonist has transferred faster than it should be.
” Hmm, then what could it be Aina?”
[ The change of the timeline was random host, and Aina could not 100% predict it. However, from the past data, Aina could say that “please expect a new heroine to come soon host.”]
Finding out that a new heroine might come soon, Ray’s head gets dizzy.
It’s already tiring to him just handling Rena and Emi. Now another headache will join the fray and he needs to put more effort.
.
The time swiftly passed and Ray was finally able to go home. He has packed up his belonging, intending to leave the school as soon as possible. But a familiar figure was standing in his way.
The familiar figure was none other than Rena. She approaches Ray and cheerfully said to him.
” Rayyyyyyyyy”
” What do you need Rena?”
” Geez Ray, couldn’t I come to you when I don’t need anything?”
Rena put on her cute pose, still Ray know that this girl was a big headache. He has been closer to this girl during last week, and he knows that her cute cheerful persona was just an act.
” Stop it, Rena. I have known you well enough and it wouldn’t work against me.”
Ray look at Rena with an indifferent and helpless eye.
” Ehe, it has been a long time since the last afterschool hangout. How about it are you free today?”
Rena looked at Ray with an expectant gaze, she didn’t know since when, but she was afraid that Ray would turn him down.
” Sure, I will always be free for a beautiful girl like you. Where do you want to go?”
” ICE CREAM SHOP! I heard the new ice cream shop near the station is good.”
With the destination being determined, the two quickly leaves the school and went to the ice cream shop.
.
.
Near the station, a pair of good-looking couple was standing while enjoying their ice cream.
” So Ray, I heard you have a bet with Skye”
” Ooh, so it was about this. Don’t worry too much, he wouldn’t able to defeat me. He’s not worthy of you.”
The tone was flat but Rena could feel Ray’s caring in it.
” Bweeh, who are you to judge that he was not worthy of me. Perhaps he his confession would move me, and i will accept his love.” Rena said at Ray teasingly.
Ray looks at Rena intensely. His hand caught Rena’s body and his eyes locked on her.
He soon moved his face closer to hers, but just when they were able to smell each other’s breath, Ray changed his destination and went for Rena’s ear.
” I know you didn’t have any thought about him, Rena. Your mind was like a book to me and I could read all your thoughts.”
After that, Ray quickly pulled out his face, leaving the blushing rena in her daze.
“Stupid, Stupid RAY!! You must be a Gemini!!!”
“??????”
” Hey, you just insulted the entire Gemini race you know?”
” Humph and that’s what makes you a Gemini!! You stupid and insensitive guy!! The magazine has said that falling in love with Gemini was the worst. I won’t care anymore about you.”
….
Rena realized what she just said and her mind instantly turned blank. With a speed never seen before, she sprinted away from Ray while shouting.
” Ray no Baka!!!”
” ….. ”
” Nani da F*CK”
This event left Ray standing at the station for a long time. Deep in thought about what was wrong with a Gemini.
