"Blackmailing me, huh? Not a very wise option to chose, don't you think?"

This girl... Suzuka-Sensei must have told her about it, but luckily, she didn't say anything else about me to this mannequin.

Does she think she can blackmail me?

I slowly approached her.

"W-Well..." She muttered as she seems to be startled by my powerful reaction. Tears start to gather at the corner of her eyes, but she still tried her best to maintain her expressionless face.

At every step I take, her hands will slightly shiver as her eyes seem to be calculating what kind of action I will take.

*Sigh*

I let out a small sigh as I stopped my steps.

"Eh?" (Frostina)

"Fine. I'll enter this service club or whatever it called, it will make that gorilla sensei stopped bothering me as well, after all. So? What do you want me to do?" I asked her while showing how unwilling I am.

"A-Ah. You only need to come here again after school, and we'll start the first club activity," said her.

"I see... Fine then," I once again opened the club door.

"W-Wait!" She once again makes me stopped me in my tracks.

"What is it this time?"

"Y-You're not going to ask why I'm doing this-" (Frostina)

"I'll let you explain yourself later at the club hour," I answered as I coldly leave the room.

Ugh... Why the hell did I accept to enter that stupid club...?

(Master~ You're surprisingly weak to beauties, ain'tcha~)

(Master love beauties! Master love beauties!)

(Now that I think about it, the master keeps the beautiful youkai at his home, you know?? So it's obvious that he loved beauties since the beginning~)

"Shut up, do you want me to erase all of you from this world?" I threatened them as I clench my fist to hold my patience.

They are small youkai who lived inside this academy. Since youkai existed almost everywhere, especially in a place filled with lots of dark energy or natural energy, so it's not strange to have some of them inside this academy.

This huge academy must have taken over some homes of the youkai living here, so it's natural that they now lived inside this academy instead. And since the academy is filled with the dark energy that appeared from the dark emotions of the stressed students who can't keep up with the lessons, so yes, that's one of the reasons why there are always rumors about ghosts at every academy.

I arrived in front of my class and take a deep breath before entering it.

But different with I expected, the class once again become silent when I entered the room despite I tried my best to erase my presence.

Frostina, you damned mannequin witch... You even destroyed my comfortable school break... Should I go and skip a class in the school nurse room?

The gazes of the other students are uncomfortable enough, but the real challenge is the bombarding questions the annoying bastard who sits in front of my seats will ask!

And as I expected.

"Y-y-y-you damned Ray!! You pretend you're not attracted to any girls, but you secretly have a relationship with Frostina-san! How dare you trick me!?" Asked him as he grabs my collar.

"Ugh..." I free myself from his grab.

"I don't trick you or anything. Hell, I don't even want to bother with that girl, it's just that something came up and we have no choice but to interact with each other," I answered indifferently.

"What the hell with that awkward answer..." (Hiroto)

"Shut up, leave me alone already,"

"But wait. Wait. Something came up, what is it, did you do something to her?" (Hiroto)

"Hell no! What the hell with that question?"

"Ray... You should understand that I'm not the only one who is interested in this... You've just get called by the winter princess of this ZhongChu academy that is famous not only in this city but internationally as the young genius winter princess! Despite being so young, she had made several research papers that are recognized by the research world that made several countries contested to get her, you know!?" (Hiroto)

Shut up, I always follow the global science magazine so I know more than you, idiot.

I know her face from those magazines, she's indeed a genius, but hell, I don't care! She disturbed my peaceful life! She deserves to get cursed and get confined inside an ancient tomb filled with ghouls!

"Whatever..." I weakly answered as I close my ears and shut my eyes.

***************************

The school ends, and it's time for me to meet up with Frostina Arlandine, the mannequin witch.

Hiroto had left with his soccer club friends, while others are still chatting with each other, some of them are discussing where to go and where to hang out while some of them are talking about their club activities.

*Bzzt!*

My phone vibrates.

I opened it and Tama's name appeared in front of it.

I thought it's a notification from my e-bank account... Tama, huh...

{Young Master~ We made some cookies and pudding to eat~ When will you be back???} (Tama)

{I have a new club to attend, I'll be back in about an hour or so} (Ray)

I closed my phone and went to the empty club room where I promised Frostina to meet.

I walked slowly as to not arrive there too quickly as I have a strange bad feeling.

*Bzzt!* *Bzzt!*

Two vibrations.

I opened my phone and saw two notifications appeared.

One is Tama while the other one is from... Ao...?

{Whoa~ So Young Master finally decided to enjoy his high school life, huh~ Have fun~} (Tama)

No. I doubt I will have any fun.

I closed Tama's message and opened the one Ao sent me.

{Ray. Why did Frostina-san ask to meet you at the first break?} (Ao)

{She asked me to join a club, I don't know the reason yet. Don't forget to go back soon, you need to work or I won't give your payment for this month, otaku youkai} (Ray)

Yup! That should be right.

I closed my phone and proceed to the clubroom.

I opened the door and the figure of a white-haired girl sitting beside the window while reading a book entered my view.

"You're late. You're late for 27 minutes," said her.

"It's fine, isn't it? The club is just newly found, so there is still nothing to do, am I right?"

"Well... That's not wrong, but it doesn't mean that you're permitted to be late," (Frostina)

"Fine. Fine. So? What now? Will you now tell me the reason why you suddenly became so eager to make this service club?" I asked her.

*Sigh*

Frostina let out a small sigh.

!!!??

When she let out a small sigh, a familiar face appear inside my head as if I'm hallucinating.

No. No. I'm not permitted to remember her.

I slightly shake my head to make the picture of that certain person disappear from my mind.

"What? Please don't have any dirty thoughts because looking at me, Lance-Kun. You're creeping me out," said Frostina as she covered her chest with both of her arms.

"I'm not! And hell I won't! Why the hell did you think that anyway!?"

"Well, boys often have dirty thoughts inside their minds, especially for high school boys who are at the highest rate in producing their testosterone hormone. And I believe I'm considered beautiful especially because of my cute face, so it's a logical assumption, don't you think? Especially you're a loner who rarely talked with anyone, especially with woman," said her confidently as she closed her eyes as if she's explaining her research paper in a seminar or something.

Whoa... This girl... Does she not get embarrassed for saying herself cute?

"You're not embarrassed at all for declaring yourself cute, don't you?"

"Why should I? I believe anyone would say my face is cute, the rate is almost 10/10 so it's considered legit, don't you think? Well, it's one of the reasons why there are lots of people who envy for not only my talents but my beauty as well," (Frostina)

She really doesn't feel embarrassed at all, didn't she?

"That's rather a big talk for someone who got her legs trembling just because I slightly approach her with a serious look," I said with a shrug.

"T-That's because... That's a normal reaction for any girl who might get assaulted by a man, don't you think? A beautiful girl like me getting approached by a man inside this empty and isolated room, isn't it normal for a pure person like me to get afraid?" (Frostina)

"Yeah, whatever,"

"What with that unwilling reaction?" (Frostina)

"I mean let's stop this conversation so that I could stop hearing you calling and declaring yourself as a beautiful girl and start explaining to me why are you forcing me to join this club,"

*Sigh*

Frostina let out another sigh and calm herself down.

"It's Suzuka-sensei's order. She... Said that she will make my mother allow me to attend the university where she used to attend if I make you join this club..." (Frostina)
