QT: Against My Will-Chapter 448
448 7.72 – [EXTRA CH.] – Bored Shitheads – War Of The Wickeds
Elera snapped at the person standing next to her, “You’ve been looking at me all day.”
Victor only shrugged. “I don’t know what you mean. I just wanted to see what my best friend’s test scores were going to look like today,” he explained simply, “Did you fail again?” freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺
“You know what? Maybe I would be better off without a best friend if he can’t keep his useless thoughts to himself,” the legs of her chair hit against the floor loudly as Elera stood up to leave. Being a hidden girlfriend of one of the most powerful alphas was not easy; at all!
Victor, instead of offering to help Elera on his own accord, waited for the other to make the first step, forming a powerplay to break Elera’s defences from the very beginning.
In no time, she started to feel like she was not worthy enough to be standing by his side in public and decided to break their status as a couple until she gained enough influence.
Victor of course agreed, saying he was ready to come out wherever she was ready. He became an understanding man with a bit of possessiveness, courting her around passionately once again.
Before Elera could get very far though, the professor called for her, “Hey! The lesson is not over yet! Don’t forget you are no longer a student from the Elite class! Sit down!”
Elera obeyed reluctantly and sat far away from Victor as the professor continued the lecture. After about two minutes of useless chatter, the professor finally stopped talking and began writing on the board.
For Elera, Victor was a thrilling challenge at first but it was getting out of control. Nathaniel reduced the bullying from the student, but there was still the public eye, the teachers, and finally, Victor’s family.
.....
Every single day she had to face cruel words and insults, but she knew how to deal with them. She would always stand up for herself and would refuse to back down no matter what people would say about her.
If they wanted to get in her face they were welcome to because she wouldn’t show fear towards anyone. She would never let anyone take advantage of her. Not even her own alpha boyfriend.
But nothing above could be considered her main issue. She was sure she had memorized the entire textbook and every lecture to pass the exam this time for sure, so why was it that she failed again? Were the results sabotaged?
She crumbled up her test containing her handwriting. Could it be that she herself just didn’t understand what was written in the textbooks or lectures? All these questions swirled around in her mind. She huffed as she opened the note which appeared on her desk.
Victor: Even if you become a worm, I would still love you.
Was Victor saying that even if she became stupid like a worm, he would still love her? She glanced at the smirking man in annoyance. How could he not see how much she was struggling and acted like nothing was wrong? He only saw her as entertainment to pass time, and simply didn’t care enough!

Meanwhile in another part of the school-
The most popular theory classes among the students were classes on basic magic, so it was not surprising that they would be filled to the brim with many students every day, even those that couldn’t use magic.
As time passed by, more and more students entered the lecture room one after another to fetch a seat ahead of time. In the front, there were desks arranged neatly in rows. The teacher’s seat was on the left side of the room while on the right was a podium for delivering lectures.
Some people would sit near their friends; others just went to any empty seats and chose whatever they liked without regard for anyone else’s preferences.
Silvia was sitting at her desk in the back. Her face became expressionless when she spotted Damon and Riley entering the class together. She kept looking straight forward but then she began to squint at them more and more. She did not notice the boy sitting beside her until she heard him whisper: “Stop staring at them, you look fucking stupid.”
“Eh? Ah! Oh yeah!” She quickly corrected her expression to look up and noticed Ezikiel who sat next to her. She thought Ezikiel was going to skip all classes today too. Even though he called her stupid, she didn’t seem to mind at all and began to accept it as a type of endearment, “Why are you here?” she asked as if to confirm his presence, which caused Ezikiel to snort.
Ziek shrugged his shoulders lightly and replied casually, seemingly indifferent towards the lecture that he was about to listen to, “Just wanted to see some bored shitheads embarrassing themselves.”
Did he mean the teachers? Or the students? Either way, he didn’t sound like someone that would enjoy being in school, Silvia pondered to herself before nodding slightly, digging her nails into her palms as she stole a glance at her twin again, ‘Why is Damon always with that bastard instead of me?!’
This kind of thinking led Silvia to start feeling mad again, but the situation made it impossible for her to show it, “I’m very thankful you came here today.” Her words were soft and calm, but the tears that welled up behind her eyes couldn’t be stopped by anything.
Ezikiel laughed in response. He didn’t seem bothered at all. In fact, he might have been thinking about something else entirely, “You’re pretty cute when you get angry.”
“What?” Silvia looked puzzled at his statement.
Ezikiel merely continued laughing without saying anything else. He knew full well how uncomfortable Silvia felt around him right now and he found it hilarious. “Sometimes, I talk shit like you, too.”
It took her a while before she started blushing furiously and said nothing in reply.
Ziek felt like a shithead, trying to entertain a whole group of bored shitheads. No matter how hard he tried to hide it, some could tell that he didn’t want attention, and that made it difficult for people to accept him and treat him normally.
He wasn’t interested in socializing either, because he never interacted much with other people outside of himself, his wife, his kid and his systems. It didn’t help that he hated the sight of people getting close to each other before his eyes too.
