Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 646

Chapter 646 -646 – Taming the Fifth Year – Multiwalled Fortress

Aldric had left the classroom with a transparent excuse about “preparing documents”, leaving Ren alone with the three girls.

The initial silence was uncomfortable.

Cassia was the first to break it, leaning slightly forward. The movement made her tunic adjust in a certain way so that it stretched slightly over her curves, and Ren, being a completely normal adolescent, noticed. His eyes deviated for a fraction of a second before forcing himself to look up.

His ears heated slightly.

‘Shit, don’t look. Be professional, you’re not the same as last year.’

Cassia saw the deviation of his eyes. And how he forced himself not to look.

‘Interesting. He reacts but controls himself immediately. Training or game?’

“So, Ren,” Cassia said with soft voice, “tell us more about you. Beyond what everyone already knows.”

When she spoke, she leaned in a bit more, and Ren had to make a conscious effort to maintain eye contact. He noticed the exact moment his eyes wanted to deviate again and forced himself not to.

“What do you want to know?” he asked, his voice coming out slightly tenser than he’d intended.

Seraphina positioned herself so Ren had her directly in his line of sight. Her clear blue eyes studied him in a way that made those tickles on his back intensify.

But Ren held her gaze, thinking that if he felt like this it could be a type of training to get used to it, or maybe that looking away would be discourteous.

‘Why is she looking at me like that? Is this a test of something?’

After five seconds, Seraphina blinked first.

‘He didn’t flinch. Didn’t even get uncomfortable. How does he have that level of control at his age?’

When she spoke, her voice was clear as crystal.

“Your interests. Your… hobbies.” She paused. “What you do when you’re not being the genius everyone knows.”

Ren finally blinked when he saw her do it. “Study, mainly. Lately, crystallization. I’m trying to understand how to reverse the process…”

“Wow, but… just study?” Jeannette interrupted with a smile that seemed designed to be warm. “Nothing more… recreational?”

The way she said “recreational” had a tone that Ren couldn’t completely identify, but that made his ears heat more.

“Combat training,” he offered. “With Lin and Yang.”

The three girls exchanged quick glances that Ren couldn’t interpret.

Cassia moved slightly closer, adjusting her position in the chair. “And friends? You have close female friends, right?”

“Yes. Larissa, Luna, Liora, Shizu, Mako…”

“The three beautiful princesses are the first thing you mention, eh?” Seraphina commented, her mana eyes gleaming slightly as she tried to read something in Ren’s patterns. Her expression showed frustration when she only saw truth but couldn’t decipher anything clear. “They must be… close to you.”

“They’re my friends,” Ren confirmed, not knowing why that seemed to be important.

‘Well, they’re important people, sometimes I forget that…’ he thought.

‘I can barely read anything. How am I supposed to know if he’s lying or being honest?’

Jeannette leaned forward, her reddish-brown curls falling over her shoulder. “Just friends?”

Ren smiled without thinking. “They’re maybe more than friends… They’re great.”

‘Larissa helped me with all the noble protocol these months and she and her family have done so much for me. Luna worried and supported me from the beginning. And Liora is always trying to give me gifts or make sure grandma Selphira supports me…’

He stopped, noticing how all three were watching him with expressions he couldn’t interpret.

‘Did I say something wrong?’

“What?”

“Nothing,” Cassia said quickly. “Just that you seem very… close to them.”

‘He didn’t show a second of doubt. Does he see them as friends genuinely or is he establishing they’re off limits?’

“I am,” Ren confirmed. “They’re my best friends.”

The word “friends” was deliberate, Cassia thought. Too deliberate.
