Chapter 547: Chapter 547 - Taming the Fourth Year: Connections - Bad Guidance

Things you wear besides your clothes, not... not..."

He couldn’t even finish the sentence without his face burning brighter.

Ren rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"Like scarves, bands, or bracelets, or...!" he gestured frantically, trying to explain while simultaneously trying not to think about the images his brain had decided to helpfully supply.

"Ah," the three boys looked visibly disappointed. "That’s... much less exciting."

The disappointment in their voices only made Ren feel more embarrassed about his own involuntary thoughts.

"You guys are perverts!" he exclaimed, but his voice cracked slightly, suggesting that perhaps he wasn’t completely immune to the same thoughts.

"We’re normal teenagers!" Trent protested. "Surely you’ve thought about that sometime too!"

"I’M NOT THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING!" Ren practically shouted.

Which was, of course, a complete lie, and from the misuse of verb tenses, now everyone knew it.

The three boys looked at each other and began smiling knowingly.

"His face says otherwise," Roran observed.

"He’s definitely thinking about something," Jun added.

"Something that has him very flustered," Trent finished.

Ren, completely overwhelmed by embarrassment and frustration, decided that violence was the only solution.

"SHUT UP!"

He proceeded to hit all three with enough force to send them sprawling, though not enough to cause real damage. It was more ’therapeutic’ than punitive... Well, maybe more therapeutic for Ren than them.

The physical outlet felt surprisingly satisfying. Even without the seed or his fungus’s influence, he was discovering that sometimes the direct approach to problem-solving had its merits, even if it wasn’t particularly mature.

"GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM RIGHT NOW!" he continued, pointing dramatically toward their quarters in the academy. "And if I hear even one more word about this topic, I WON’T GIVE YOU THE NEXT STEPS FOR YOUR GOLD CULTIVATION!"

The effect was immediate and total.

The three boys, who had been sprawled on the ground rubbing their heads, immediately scrambled to their feet and began bowing apologetically.

"We’re sorry!"

"Forgive us, forgive us!"

"We’re idiots!"

And with that, they ran toward their room as if their lives depended on it, leaving Ren alone with his thoughts.

Ren stood in the hallway, still feeling flushed and trying desperately to get his mind back on appropriate tracks. The problem was that now, thanks to his ’helpful’ friends, his brain kept drifting toward topics he definitely shouldn’t be considering when he was about to go shopping for gifts for Luna and Liora.

’Focus,’ he told himself firmly. ’They’re accessories. Simple, appropriate, thoughtful accessories. Nothing more.’

But despite his best efforts, part of his mind kept wandering toward territories that made him feel simultaneously guilty and curious.

The voices of his idiot companions were starting to seem reasonable.

’This is completely normal,’ he assured himself. ’Every guy my age thinks about these things sometimes. Doesn’t mean anything... Right?’

The internal debate was exhausting. Before losing his fungus, he’d had a constant analytical voice helping him process any complex emotions and situations. Now he was left to navigate the treacherous waters of adolescence entirely on his own, with only his increasingly unreliable hormones as guidance.

Still feeling uncomfortably warm, he decided he needed to distract himself completely.

Shopping.

Focus on the task at hand.

He began walking toward where Jessy worked, hoping that the familiar routine of browsing materials would help clear his head.

’Think straight,’ Ren panicked internally. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
