Chapter 87 The Great Adventure
After losing Truth or Dare, Idelia thought they would probably give her a difficult question, but she never expected it to be something like this.
Why not try to win over that legendary figure who's been all over the female students at the College of the Dead?
How could there be such a strange adventure?
Idelia's beautiful brows furrowed slightly as she leaned back in her chair, her voice a little cold: "If I choose truth now, is it too late?"
"That won't do, Idelia. You can't just back out now, can you?" The guy who first made the request chuckled, pressing on relentlessly. "You're the pride of our Yinlun faction! It wouldn't do to be intimidated by a mere freshman. How embarrassing would that be if word got out—"
Idelia remembered that the guy who spoke was named Unar, and he was always the one with the highest presence and the least amount of work in the group she was in charge of.
Although he always did his best to complete the tasks assigned to him, he had made a mistake a few days ago and was criticized by her in public. That was probably why Unar held a grudge against her and was determined to embarrass her today.
Idelia sighed inwardly.
Sigh, she just happens to fall for that.
As Unar said, she was the pride of the Indoctrination school, and even when she first entered the Canon, her academic achievements were always among the best.
Coupled with her outstanding appearance and extraordinary background, she is always the focus of attention and is praised by everyone.
Growing up in this environment, Idelia cannot tolerate the slightest contempt from others, especially such absurd contempt.
She narrowed her golden eyes, her gaze slightly displeased: "Leaving aside what I think, I heard that you were unable to obtain the necessary materials for the project the other day because you ran into this junior."
Unar seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, his face turning pale and bluish-white, which was quite a sight.
He did indeed harbor resentment towards this junior student because of what happened a few days ago, and he only came up with this plan after learning about the junior student's identity from his classmates who were with him.
While inwardly scoffing at his pathetic fighting prowess, Idelia stood up and straightened her skirt: "I've agreed to your dare. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I admire him for making you suffer. Making a friend isn't bad."
She glanced at everyone present and smiled slightly: "Anyway, I'll head back now. I've already paid the bill. Have fun, everyone."
The moment the girl's white hem disappeared through the doorway, Unar was met with disapproving stares from his companions.
As the most prominent figure in the Yin-Yang school, countless people wanted to get closer to Idelia. Now that she had been driven away in anger, their easy opportunity had vanished, and they were naturally extremely dissatisfied.
Unal muttered a couple of defiant words, but after a while, unable to bear the hostile stares, he slunk away.

On the other side, Idelia could roughly guess what would happen to him, but she didn't care. Instead, she had already begun to approach that junior.
That junior was indeed famous; even someone like her, who didn't pay much attention to these things, had heard his name from others.
Elhesen means fledgling eagle.
Idelia thought that the person who named him must have had high expectations for him, and of course he did not disappoint that person's expectations, becoming a prominent figure in the Order of the Church.
She didn't have many friends and couldn't find any reliable sources of information for a while. She wasn't even sure which college Elhesen belonged to.
Idelia wasn't one to give up halfway, and after pondering it for half the night, she finally decided to subtly ask someone she knew the next day.
She just didn't expect that the moment she uttered the name Elhesen, her senior, Gorna, stared in shock.
Idelia couldn't help but ask, "Senior, is there a problem?"
Gorna managed to suppress the surprise on her face and said with an awkward smile, "It's nothing, I was just curious why you suddenly became concerned about other people's affairs."
Idelia, to put it nicely, is focused on her studies; to put it bluntly, she is impatient with socializing with people who are not as good as herself, and naturally doesn't pay attention to others. So, she was naturally a little surprised when Elhesengorna was suddenly asked about her.
Knowing her own flaw, she shrugged casually and offered the excuse she had prepared beforehand: "Didn't Unar just get thwarted by him the other day? Even for those materials, I have to deal with people, don't I?"
She figured the group from last night's party wouldn't go around telling stories of dares and bluffs, and they were quite adept at making up excuses, not worried at all about being exposed.
Gorna didn't suspect anything, but she was a little worried that the connections she mentioned might have been meant to impress others.
But Idelia wouldn't actually do such a thing; perhaps she was just curious.
Gorna comforted herself by providing the information circulating among the students of the Order of the Fathers about Elhesen's most frequented locations.
Idelia didn't care what she thought; having gotten what she wanted, she quickly went to the library as she had instructed.
The gray-haired boy was sitting in the library.
Idelia had never seen or heard of Elhesen's appearance before, but when she entered the library and saw him for the first time, she immediately realized that this was the person she was looking for.
The boy's face was still immature, but his composed demeanor blurred that immaturity, making his green eyes with their strange red pupils even more striking.
The guy named Elhesen was famous in the Order of the Church for something similar to Idelia's—extraordinary intelligence, outstanding appearance, and excellent background.
Perhaps one more point needs to be added: what truly made him a sensation among the female students of the Order Academy was his lack of romantic understanding and social skills.
Idelia did not approach rashly.
She always liked to prepare everything in advance, so she spent some time observing what the guys surrounding Elhesen were planning to do besides constantly glancing at him before she went out in person.
She quickly received an answer.
After the closing time set by the Grand Master of the Library arrived, Al-Hysen deftly picked up the book he was reading and walked out.
Idelia then witnessed a man-made accident—
The girl, carrying several heavy books, struggled forward. Suddenly, she tripped over a classmate passing by and fell straight into the figure in front of her.
As the only presence in her path, Elhesen calmly reached out and caught the scattered books, then turned to the side, leaving enough space for her to fall to the ground.
With a thud, the girl, as expected, fell to the ground, clutching her face and crying out in pain.
Her voice was quite genuine, and although her acting was somewhat clumsy, she went to great lengths to get someone's attention. Unfortunately, that attention wasn't given to her, but rather briefly to the book she casually picked up.
Al-Hysen glanced at the words on the cover: "A good book, it's a pity it wasn't appreciated."
He placed the book on the table beside him and left without looking back, neither caring why the girl had fallen in his direction nor about the potential backlash he might receive for not helping her.
He's definitely clueless about romance, but he's cool.
