My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 622: Campus Belle
After the class, Linda went to the teacher’s room to deliver her classmates’ assignment papers and career plan sheets. The homeroom teacher was pretty fussy to the students lately because he said, aspiring superheroes needed a proper career plan.
As for her, she already had her future well-planned. She would work for Minamoto International Group, but it was actually just on paper as she held the contract with Erina Minamoto and also Young Master El. Broadly speaking, she didn’t need to plan anything anymore because her young master had already arranged it for her.
The only thing she had to do was study diligently to achieve the best result for the best graduate. She had to learn everything she needed, especially about the superpower bestowed by her young master.
"You look happy, Classmate Linda. Did something good happen today?" The class monitor glanced at the cheerful beauty beside him, blushing a little because Linda’s smile was cute.
"Hmm, yes, something good." Linda checked her superphone’s notification before putting it into her handbag.
In the past two months, she could only exchange messages with her young master. As a person with a high status and background, it was natural for him to be busy, but today, he would pay her a visit! The appointment was set, and she would leave after delivering the papers to the homeroom teacher.
She actually wanted to dump everything on the class monitor and run out to meet her young master, but she still held herself back.
"Is it a man? I wonder who could make our campus belle look so happy." The class monitor felt curious.
He was once proposed to Linda, but she rejected him, and from then on, he became one of her admirers. If he thought about it again, Linda was a high-caliber young lady with a bright future. In addition to her S-class talent, she was also contracted by the Minamoto Group, one of the world’s largest factions. It was only natural for her to become famous because she had a good look, talent, wealth, and a promising future.
"It’s a secret." Linda replied with a wink. She quickened her pace so she could arrive at the teacher’s room faster.
Once she handed the papers to the homeroom teacher, she immediately bid her farewell to the class monitor and jogged away from the campus building.
"Should I follow her?" The class monitor pondered about it with both curiosity and concern.
"Linda, how about we go to that cafe that’s been viral lately? I heard they-" Xin Ning waved her hand.
"I’m sorry, Ning! I have an appointment with someone already. Let’s go there tomorrow." Linda stopped for her dormmate, putting her hands together in apology.
"O-oh, okay." Xin Ning nodded in reply, but a moment later, Linda had already left her alone in the corridor.
"Hey, don’t run in the corridor, girl!" A grumpy teacher who happened to be passing by reprimanded the running girl.
"Sorry!" Linda raised her hand in farewell.
A few moments later, she arrived at the ground floor and immediately went out of the main building. The superhero cadets were relatively crowded in the courtyard as they wished to hang out outside.
"Yo, Linda, I wonder if you want to go somewhere with me? I heard the nearby five-star restaurant has something really good."
"Thank you, maybe next time."
"Please wait a second, Miss Linda. If you wish to go somewhere, allow me to drive you in my new supercar. I’ll get you there in no time."
"Thank you, but I don’t like cramped cars."
"Miss Linda, please accept my flowers."
"Sorry."
"Miss Linda-" "Linda..."
Several dashing seniors and nouveau riche young masters tried to gain Linda’s favor as she passed them. Unfortunately, Linda could only respond with rejection, for whatever reason. She didn’t even know all of them, but as a proper lady, she had to be respectful despite her wariness, especially to those with ulterior motives.
"Tch, look at that btch."
"She is just lucky to be blessed by a slightly good look, and yet she acts like she owns the world."
"Why do all the good things come to her? Was she a female monk in her past life?"
Because of the many men trying to win Linda’s heart, many women felt jealous. They spoke ill behind Linda’s back and isolated Linda from the female group.
Linda was conscious of it, but she could only ignore those unhappy whispers full of envy and jealousy from the other women. Because of that, her only female friend on campus was her dormmate, Xin Ning.
Several luxury cars, sport cars, and supercars lined up in the front parking lot of Superhero Academy. Some people thought that Linda had an appointment with someone, most likely a man, because her expression resembled a maiden in love, wishing to meet her boyfriend sooner.
*Vroom!*
A large-sized bus drove past the road and stopped right in front of the entrance gate. The door opened and Linda immediately got on the bus. The bus didn’t wait any longer and immediately sped away, leaving the campus area.
"Hey, what’s that? I thought there was someone there to pick her up. Why did she take a public bus?"
"Wait, isn’t that bus a bit strange?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why does it seem like it stopped just to pick Linda up? It also doesn’t have anything on its body, just pure white paint."

"You’re right... Look at those peasants. Those poor students are waiting for the bus at the bus stop, but that bus went straight to Linda instead of them."
"You’re right... should we follow them to find out something behind this?"
"Let’s send someone to tail that bus. I wonder what kind of bastard who dares to try to steal Linda from me."
"Huh?! Since when did Linda become yours?"
"So, is that ours?"
"Fck off! I’ll win her heart someday. I won’t share her with anyone else."
"Heh, you say it like she’s a commodity. That’s why you’re still single."
"Shut up!"
"Ha ha ha!"
The young masters in their circle of friends laughed at their silly conversation. As those who had a big crush on Linda, although they seemed relaxed, they sent some intel to find out where Linda went. Despite their closeness, the love rival was still a competitor, and they were never really friendly.
---
As Linda boarded the bus, she knew it was her young master. He sat on the seat right behind the driver, greeting her with the elegance of a nobleman. "It’s been a while, Linda. How’ve you been?"
"Young Master El, thank you for taking the time to visit me." Linda sat down next to her young master happily and excitedly. She actually wanted to throw herself to hug her young master, but she had to refrain from doing so, considering that it was rather unladylike and it wasn’t just the two of them on the bus.
"Wow... so, she is the girl you heavily invested in, master." Jophiel rested her head on her master’s seat headrest, observing Linda closely.
"Don’t be rude. She is Linda, Jophi." Gabriella flicked her junior sister in the head as a reminder.
"Master?" Linda looked up and noticed that many breathtaking beauties were there, staring at her. Each of them could put the world’s top celebrities to shame!
"They’re Jophi and Gabriella, my disciples. She is Linda, our future partner." Elysia introduced Linda to her disciples.
"..." Linda felt a bit down for reasons she didn’t know. She felt dissatisfied because her young master referred to her only as a future colleague.
"Oh my, Linda is now in high demand. Look at those young boys who flocked over to gain your favor." Erina covered her mouth as she chuckled softly.
"U-uh, it’s not because I want it. They sometimes start to overdo it and bother me..." Linda felt embarrassed to remember that. Dealing with those boys was so troublesome, but she had to pay attention to her manners.
"Hmm, you’ve grown beautifully since we last met." Elysia ran her finger through Linda’s long raven hair.
"It’s all thanks to you, young master. The me today is all thanks to you..." Linda looked down, trying to hide her shy expression.
"We’ve been a bit busy lately. Is there anyone there who dares to bully you?" Elysia moved her finger to Linda’s cheek and gently raised Linda’s chin, making Linda stare at her face.
"Li-ngh, Linda understands and won’t be a bother, young master. No one dares to bully me there, young master." Linda accidentally bit her tongue. Her face became even redder because of embarrassment, but she liked this kind of approach.
"That’s good, but some cars are following us, El. They might be Linda’s pursuers. What should we do?" Erina pointed behind her.
"E-eh?" Linda was shocked and immediately looked out the window.
"Mio, we’re speeding." Elysia nodded to the driver.
"Alright." Mio doubted nothing and immediately drove the superbus to maximum speed.
As the bus sped out of the downtown area, at a point outside the camera’s view, the bus vanished into thin air, leaving the cars following behind to make an abrupt stop. The intel gaped in astonishment to find the bus they were following suddenly gone without a trace.
"B-boss, the bus suddenly vanished!" One of the intel immediately called his boss in panic.
"Such a big bus, and how could it vanish all of a sudden in broad daylight like this. Don’t make silly excuses just because you lost track of it." The boss was displeased.
"I don’t know boss, but the other intel sent by other young masters will say the same thing. The bus vanished into thin air!" The intel defended his claim.
"Hmm, that’s strange. That’s not a ghost bus, is it?" The boss paled a bit, but he dismissed the thought considering the world already became pretty crazy with monsters. "No excuse. Go and find out where Linda went now!"
