A Highest Rank in Another World!

I let Isabell finish eating and sat down on the same bed she was in. She was so cute as she chewed that bread that I couldn't help but stare at her the entire time.

It is strange to think that she is not a child and is already so old, appearances are very deceiving. Especially when the person is of another race.

"I'm done, I'm satisfied." Isabell finished eating the buns and then took the bag of candy and started eating too. Now she seemed willing to chat with me while she ate the candy.

"You took a long time, it's almost night, you know?" And I have to get back soon, if Lisandra worries about me again, I'm sure she's really going to be pissed off.

"Don't worry, there's no one waiting for me at home, so I can stay here as long as it takes."

"But I have someone waiting for me so I can't stay here long."

"I understand. But what did you want to talk to me about? You brought me food, so you are worthy enough to talk to me." Listen here, I already talked with you before. And your way of acting is a little irritating.

Maybe that's why she doesn't talk a lot? Why might she end up saying unnecessary things?

Does she even know she is an arrogant person when she talks that way and does she act that way? To be honest, I'm starting to prefer it when she was silent. I really can't fall in love with a person like that despite their beauty.

But let's get back to the topic.

"It was about your battle with the teacher, why did you let him win?" That was one of the reasons for our conversation, but I also wanted to ask her about a few more things, but I'm not sure she'll want to answer.

"I didn't let him win, have I don't say that before?"

"No, you didn't say it clearly. you said a few things and then started ignoring me."

"Oh, sorry about that. But that's my answer, I didn't let him win."

"You're lying, clearly you could avoid that punch. And also you could have knocked him out at any time." I think knocking him out or hurting him is a bit much, but I guess I wouldn't mind too much since he's that teacher.

"I'm not lying, I just got distracted during the fight and didn't see that space was over. As I couldn't dodge it, I let him hit me."

"But you might as well have won before that, that's what I'm talking about."

"Dude you are annoying."

"You are even more annoying, you know? I preferred it when you were quiet."

"..."

"But I have another question to ask you." Taking advantage of the fact that Ranhm had left, I think the time had come to ask her about her hiding her identity. Yes, she will find out about my Status, but since she also hides a secret, I think that's okay.

"..."

"I wanted to ask why you hide your real identity. That's one of the reasons I'm sure you let the teacher win, you're much stronger than him."

  "..."

"Why?"

"..." Isabell continued eating the sweets and seemed not to mind my questions, man this girl is really annoying me.

"Are you sure you won't answer? I think I can tell everyone about it then." Of course, I would never do something like that, but it serves very well as a threat.

"You had told me to be quiet, that it was better this way, so that's what I'm doing."

"Really?"

"…" Dude, this girl is really weird.

"Okay, sorry about that, you can talk."

"So you were asking me why I was hiding my real identity, right?"

"That's right."

"But first I want to ask you a question. How exactly did you find out who I was? It was at that moment, wasn't it? That damn director, he said he wouldn't talk to anyone about it."

"It was not his fault. I also have an assessment skill, and I ended up using it on you when we met at the festival that time, don't you remember?"

"Oh, I remember. You are the idiot who dropped the money."

"That's a little rude, but it's me yes. Didn't you remember?"

"I remembered that it was someone who was going to study with me, but I ended up forgetting about your face, so I didn't realize until now."

"Hahaha… so that's it. But then, why do you hide your identity?"

"I don't have a specific reason. My mom asked me to go to school, so I came. I just chose to use another name and hide my real strength, but of course, the director found out."

"I understand." That director is smart, did he talk to her on admissions day? I hope he didn't convince her to become an adventurer. Well, but it wouldn't have much of a problem since she's a little old.

"But why are you asking me this?"

"It's nothing, I was just curious about the reason behind it, but it doesn't seem like a big deal." I'm still pretty sure she's hiding something, but she doesn't seem too happy to answer these questions.

"I see, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course."

"You didn't fall in love with me, did you? Isn't it those cases that people call love at first sight?"

"Fortunately that didn't happen."

"Fortunately?"

"It's nothing, now finish these sweets because I need to go home, even the doctor seems to have already go home." It was starting to get dark, probably Lisandra must be worried about me since I didn't tell her I was staying at school.

"You can go, I'll be staying here for a while."

"Right. And thanks for answering my questions." I wanted to tell her to socialize more and stop being so "cold" but I couldn't do that.

"No problem. You're kind of cool, I let you be my friend, at least for a while."

"What do you mean 'Allows'? Also, you can't have friends for a while and then stop being friends with them, think about it. But I would like to be your friend."

"I'll remember that, and don't talk to me too much during class, I don't want people to think weird things."

"What kind of things?"

"That we're dating or something, that would be horrible." Man, it hurts a little, I really wanted her to like me more, but it looks like for now I'll just be her acquaintance.

Or maybe just any friend.

"Okay, I'll remember that. See ya."

"..."

After that, I left her there and left. I wanted to ask her why she was at the festival that day, especially with that hood on her head like she was hiding from something.

Maybe she's participating in some dangerous scheme? Maybe she's involved with those people?

No, that's not it.

#######

Arriving at the inn it was almost dark. How long did I wait for that girl to eat?

"So where were you?" I was greeted by Sara, she was cleaning the floor in front of the door.

"Oh, I was at school."

"Until this time? Classes ended a long time ago. Shouldn't the school be closed?"

"Not really, when I left there were still some students and staff."

"But why were you there so late? Was there something important to do there?"

"I was talking to a friend of mine, she had been hurt at school during the afternoon."

"Ara, is she alright?"

"Yes, I talked a little with her and I also helped her a little." I wouldn't say it was a help, rather I was practically forced to go buy her some food.

"But is this girl just a friend? For you to be so worried about her... You're not in love with her, are you? Classes have just started."

"Even you're saying that? She's just a friend." I don't know if I could call her a friend since she didn't seem to like me very much, but that's what she said when I left.

"I understand, but be careful not to be so late again. Go upstairs and take a shower. The dinner will be ready soon."

"All good thank you so much." I went upstairs and got to the bedroom. But Lisandra isn't the only one who was there.

"Hello, how long."

"Hi, Ciaphia." Why is she here? But she's an important friend of Lisandra's, and she's also a nice girl, so I guess she doesn't have a problem.

But Sara could have warned me that Lisandra was with a visitor, imagine if I enter the bedroom saying something embarrassing?
