Bzzzz—

The mobile phone screen lit up, accompanied by a vibration. One by one, several system windows with people’s names popped up.

A target has been detected nearby.

Skyler Bon Aitero Leblethan.

A target has been detected nearby.

Lexus Cressian.

A target has been…

Before she finished reading, Ariel rushed to the window and sat down under it.

The nearest target was only a few meters away. Ariel poked her head out slightly to check the situation outside.

There, in an empty gloomy corridor, three or four steps away from her, was a dark wooden door with a sign ‘Study Room №3’. It held classes on ancient history.

Due to the fact that the subject was unbearably tedious, students almost did not come here. That’s the reason Ariel chose this place.

‘But what are these guys doing here? They don’t even attend regular classes…’

Ariel was puzzled. Was she being followed?

Bzzzz—

As soon as the vibration was heard, her doubts were confirmed.

A target has been detected nearby.

The system window announced their new location, and the feeling that she was being chased sent a chill down her neck.

She looked around carefully, but saw no one. Wherever they were, five senses weren’t enough to determine it.

She needed to look into her phone to find out the exact location of the target. She didn’t risk running into them.

Ariel turned on the screen and stared at the narrow system window.

Skyler Bon Aitero Leblethan

▷ Sympathy: ♡♡♡♡ (They like you. They will always try to find you.)

▷ Current location: Academy Corridor №1, Room №3

‘What?!’

Ariel hastily covered her mouth with her hand to stifle a scream.

He was currently waiting for her in the third study room.

If it wasn’t for the phone with notifications, she would have entered the tiger’s den.

‘I need to get out of here.’

Ariel, still in a half-crouch with her head down, turned in the opposite direction. From a rather hasty U-turn, she staggered and reflexively raised her hands to keep her balance. The precariously held phone slipped out of her hand.

Boom!

A loud sound was heard from the impact on the marble floor.

The door of the study room, a few meters behind her, abruptly swung open.

Bang!

She froze in place. On a nervous basis, she caught her breath.

And her heart sank.

“Ariel!”

She heard a familiar voice.

The sound of the heels was getting louder and louder. Ariel’s body was shaking with fear.

Targets are assigned up to 5 marks of sympathy.

Starting from 6 — overheat, the chances of encountering an extreme ending are high.

She remembered a system window that popped up one day with a warning.

‘How many… hearts were there?’

In desperation, Ariel remembered Skyler’s profile window, which she had recently viewed. There were definitely four hearts.

Only four.

The system warned her what would happen in the case of six hearts. And yet, Skyler had already demonstrated a crazy obsession by tracking her down.

He pinned her with his gaze. The handsome face twisted questioningly.

Ariel barely moved her mouth.

“S… kyler…”

“Why didn’t you come in?”

“Just…”

She was so confused that she couldn’t think of an excuse. His eyes narrowed.

“Ariel, are you… running away?”

When he hit the bull’s-eye, Ariel’s jaw trembled. Panic showed treacherously on her face.

Anger immediately seized him.

“Why are you… running away?”

A low voice squeezed her eardrums.

Ariel just wanted to cry and scream, rather than make excuses.

‘And he only has four hearts!’

What then is the extreme finale of the six hearts?..

Just a vague idea made her dizzy.

Ariel really wanted to run away.
