I Give Up on the BL Novel's Male Leads - Chapter 141
Illein found lunchtime at the academy to be a struggle.
Edwin didnāt attend the academy today.
āIāll just eat alone.ā Damon had refused her invitation.
āIllein, I was planning to eat with you from today, but unfortunately, I have to leave early before the fourth period due to some work.ā
āWhat kind of work?ā
āā¦Itās a family matter. Iāll explain in detail when I get back.ā
Mellias handed her the lunch he had prepared with care before leaving early. He had already made plans with his relatives, two of whom were judges for the upcoming trial, while the third owed a debt to his father.
Left alone, Illein headed to the rooftop with both lunches. Until then, she had thought she would be eating by herself.
She never imagined someone would interrupt her lunch hour. However, as she opened the door to the rooftop, she found an unwelcome guest already there.
Willai was sitting quietly, unfolding his meticulously prepared lunch.
“You always eat lunch here! So I brought mine too! Our familyās chef is really good at cookingā¦”
– Slam!
Illein shut the rooftop door behind her, shaking her head as if she had just seen a nightmare.
As she was about to head down the stairs, suddenly, the surroundings began to shift dramatically.
“Ugh!”
The stairs turned into an uphill climb, and the door behind her swung wide open, making the ground beneath her feet shift backward on its own.
The previously clear steps transformed into a blocked wall, and the ground she was standing on twisted and moved back.
In an instant, Illein found herself in the same spot where Willai had laid out his lovingly prepared lunch. She couldnāt believe what was happening.
At the same time, she was taken aback by the magic Willai had used.
“You know how to use this kind of magic?”
But as surprising as that was, she was greatly displeased with his actions. Her tone reflected her annoyance.
“Well, I am an earth mage.”
Willai, seemingly oblivious to her irritation, cheerfully smiled and encouraged her to sit down.
In truth, he shouldnāt even be there. He was supposed to be prohibited from the academy due to his suspension.
How had he managed to come this far? Illein questioned that, and she couldnāt understand why he was wearing the academy uniform. It made her seriously doubt the security level at the academy.
“Come on, just sit here.”
Willai, despite Illeinās cold glare, showed no sign of backing down. He pointed proudly to the food made by his familyās chef, oblivious to her mood.
“These are all delicious. Give them a try.”
“Sigh.”
It was so absurd that she couldn’t even muster any anger. In fact, she didn’t even want to respond.
“I have something from the Wignum household.”
“What about the one next to it?”
“This is from Illenas…”
“Me! Me! Give it to me! Letās trade!”
Willai said this, his eyes wide with a pleading look.
Illein sighed at Willaiās ridiculous behavior.
“Doing this wonāt earn you an introduction to Illenas. I absolutely refuse to let my sister get involved with someone as terrible as you.”
As she said this, Illein tried to stand up. Suddenly, the ground dropped, positioning the table perfectly at her eye level.
When she gave up and sat down, the ground rose again, helping her sit properly.
“I’m really sorry for everything. I’ll apologize for all the wrongs I’ve done. I donāt even expect leniency.”
“…”
“Can you keep secret what I did to Illenas? And just say one word: that itās okay for me to be friends with her.”
“…”
“Huh? Please, Iām begging you.”
Since acquiring lightning magic, Illein had gained some confidence.
However, while a fire magic user could potentially deliver effective hits, she questioned whether she could attack an earth mage capable of perfect defense. Thatās why she hesitated to leave so easily.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t get involved in that. Who Illenas meets is her choice.”
Willai nodded at the words. Illein felt burdened by the sight of him acting this way.
“I’m feeling something Iāve never felt before.”
“I didnāt ask.”
“Every time I think of Illenas, my heart races.”
“I don’t want to hear it.”
“Illenas is like ice. So beautiful, yet if you hold her in your hand, she melts away without a trace…”
“I want you to stop.”
“What does Illenas like? Can you tell me how to spend time with her?”
“I donāt know.”
“Could you at least find out?”
“No, I canāt.”
Illein said this firmly, trying to deter Willai. But he ignored her words and continued.
“Then I want to meet by chance… Where does Illenas usually go?”
“I donāt know.”
“Why donāt you know?”
“That girl is sick and rarely leaves the mansion.”
“But she can still have children, right?”
“Can you please stop talking crazy and just disappear?”
