Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 650

Chapter 650: Chapter 650 - Taming the Fifth Year - Plunder - 2

"Rivals?" Ren repeated.

Liora looked at him with the same expression of frustration he was getting used to, but then with a softer expression. Something more vulnerable beneath the exasperation. "Yes, Ren. Rivals. Because apparently there are at least three of us, possibly six if we count the new ones, competing for your... your time."

The correction was clumsy, obvious.

Ren was completely paralyzed, processing this information.

Liora saw his expression and sighed again. Then, resolved, she stood and walked around the table until she was in front of him.

"Maybe," she said, her cheeks flushing even more, color spreading across her pale skin, "I should be more proactive. Make you remember that I was first."

Ren swallowed, his eyes very wide. His heart was beating faster, awareness of her proximity making thinking difficult.

But Liora stopped, her face now completely red. "But... I’m still embarrassed. And my mother always said that if something embarrasses you, you’re not ready yet." She breathed deep, steadying herself. "So... keep waiting for me. Please."

Ren nodded, biting both lips inside his mouth, not knowing what else to do or say. Words had completely abandoned him.

"But," Liora continued, her voice becoming firmer, "you have to fix this. You have to talk to Larissa and Luna. Because they feel betrayed. Even if you don’t understand why, it’s real to them." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"What do I tell them?" Ren asked, genuinely lost. How did you apologize for something you didn’t understand you’d done?

Liora stood up, her decision clearly made. "I’m going to talk to grandma Selphira and Julius. We need to understand why three girls from other academies, one of them about to do her military service, are here ’bothering’ our Ren."

And she had completely ignored him.

Before Ren could ask again, Liora disappeared with a spatial jump, her mana dissipating in the air like morning mist.

’Our?’

Ren remained seated alone with Mayo, who finally stopped trembling and looked at him with amusement but also with some sympathy.

"Welcome to adolescent romantic hell," she said with a small smile. "Where even geniuses seem to be completely useless."

Ren buried his face in his hands, the gesture one of complete defeat.

’How am I supposed to talk to Larissa and Luna about this when I don’t even understand what’s happening?’

But he knew Liora was right.

He had to try.

Even though he had no idea how.

"I just wanted to learn social practice..."

"You can still use mana eyes, right? Ask them directly."

Ren had to finally get things clear. Enough misunderstandings...

So he decided to first do what Liora had told him to do and interrogate the new girls to clarify everything and have the correct idea when apologizing to Larissa and Luna.

Ren arrived at Aldric’s classroom earlier than usual the next day.

Aldric wasn’t there, as always. He’d already adapted his schedule to "not get in the way." The three girls were already there, seated in their usual semicircle.

But this time, Ren didn’t sit.

He remained standing in front of them, his posture rigid, his expression more serious than they’d ever seen him. There was no friendly greeting. No casual smile. Just intensity that made the air feel heavier.

Cassia was the first to notice something was wrong. "Ren, are you...?"

"I need to clarify some things, so I’m going to ask you some questions," Ren interrupted, his voice colder than normal. A tone they’d never heard from him before. "And I need honest answers."

The three exchanged quick glances, silent alarms passing between them.

’Here it comes,’ Cassia thought, her stomach sinking. ’I knew he’d eventually confront us.’

’He’s showing his true colors,’ Seraphina considered, her mana eyes gleaming as she tried to read his emotional state. From what little she could understand, he seemed angry.

’The game changed,’ Jeannette concluded mentally. ’Or ended...’

"Of course," Cassia said carefully, straightening in her chair and trying to project a calm confidence she didn’t feel. "Ask what you need."

’Straight to the point,’ all three thought simultaneously. ’We were playing with a target too big for us...’

’Something bad?’ Cassia blinked, confusion mixing with alarm. ’Is he talking about the seduction or about...?’

’For whatever you actually want,’ he thought.

’Selphira, that’s why she took Aldric away a while ago,’ Cassia thought with fearful respect. ’Of course she’d see through all this.’

’There’s no point in pretending anymore. He surely already knows we’d try to sabotage him with distractions from his exams... Seduction was only a secondary prize if possible.’

’How much do we tell him?’ Cassia asked with her eyes.
