Chapter 277 Yui Ernest

277 Yui Ernest

“Hiro, what are you doing?”

Suddenly while immersing himself in thinking, a saucy voice came from the door.

“Yui!”

Hiro called out happily. He knew exactly who she was just by her voice. His expression immediately changed to one of gentleness and happiness. The one standing in front of him was his little sister Yui.

Yui looked similar to Hiro with black hair and black eyes while having a very attractive face. She was wearing her school uniform which meant that she had just returned from school.

Yui Ernest, being Hiro’s sister, was also granted protection by The Authority and she could stay at their headquarters where their parents are. Furthermore, they transferred her to a school near their headquarters.

Moreover, Yui’s potential was also something that The Authority was keeping its eyes on. While she cannot be compared to Hiro, she showed the potential to at least reach S-Rank or higher. Therefore, The Authority had no problem sponsoring Yui and providing resources for her training.

As soon as Hiro saw her, he began playfully patting her head and messing with her hair. The two siblings had grown very close over the years, especially since they could only rely on one another without their parents.

“GEEZ Stop it!”

.....

Yui said while removing Hiro’s hand from her head. This caused Hiro to become sad.

( Is it her rebellious period? )

Hiro thought. When they were small, his sister liked to have her head patted but over the years that seemed to have changed.

Hiro treated Yui like a kid and this was something that she didn’t like. It was okay when they were kids but she wished that he would stop now. There were less than 2 years between them.

As a result, Hiro believes that he needs to handle every responsibility as an older brother. Hiro tries to do everything by himself. He even tried earning money for the hospital and living expenses, which Yui didn’t like.

She hates that her brother who is only a year older is trying to act like an adult and handling everything by himself. Even though she wasn’t very skilled, she was still able to do some work. But Hiro didn’t let her find a job and wanted her to focus on her studies.

“Anyway, how long are you planning to stay here?”

Yui asked.

“Even if you decide to stay, our parents’ conditions are not likely to improve. It might be best for you to return to Ace Academy.”

Yui said.

She has also gotten information about her parents and is extremely worried. But after 5 years of helplessness, she knows better than to stay depressed.

Moreover, she was worried about her brother who continued to work hard for her and the family. She would prefer if her brother became a bit selfish and tried to make himself happy rather than always feeling responsible for what happened.

Now that The Authority is helping their family, she wants Hiro to at least enjoy his school life without worrying. Though her parents’ condition was not great, she knew that there was nothing that she or her brother could do.

Hiro had already stayed here for a week by his parents’ side and Yui was worried that he was feeling guilty again.

“Alright!”

Hiro replied.

He had already stayed there for a week and there was nothing he could do there to improve his parents’ condition. He thought he could go back to Ace Academy and in the meantime explore some dungeons. Even if getting Legendary S-Rank Elixir was impossible, he thought that he could at least get some helpful artifacts or healing items from the dungeons.

With his current strength, he could easily conquer Rank-C dungeons and even some weaker Rank-B dungeons. The artifacts that he would find would be of much higher quality than before.

Getting a positive response from her brother, Yui felt much more relieved. She thought that, at least at school where his friends were, Hiro would worry less about his parents.

*****

“Hah? Do you think that you are all that much better because of your brother? I will let you know that any one of the explorers working under our guild can crush your brother.”

Yui Ernest heard a girl who seemed to be the leader of the group tell her. At that moment, when Yui and her friend were going back to their respective homes, a group of girls stopped them.

“You dare …”

The friend of Yui Ernest attempted to reply to those groups of bullies but was stopped by Yui Ernest.

“Elysia! It’s not worth it. Let’s go!”

Yui said as she dragged her friend.

This was not a rare occurrence for Yui. She, who had a world-famous genius brother, was subjected to the jealousy of a lot of people in the world, especially her cla.s.smates.

Moreover, because of her beauty, many female students were jealous of her. Yui also had very good talent and was the most powerful student in the school, excluding the teachers. Because of that, many felt inferior to her and were jealous of her.

A beautiful face with powerful skills, in addition to having a genius brother who is believed to be a once-in-a-century genius with the support of The Authority. Many were inevitably jealous of her not knowing the suffering that she had been through.

Despite their jealousy, they would not really fight with her or cause big problems because The Authority supported her and Hiro. They would, however, sometimes go in groups to hara.s.s her.

“Humph! Coward as always.”

The group of girls said. Though they didn’t really want to fight with her, they did want to show that Yui is a coward and that other students should not befriend her. Because those groups of girls were from high-grade guilds, other students don’t dare to befriend Yui in case they offend them.

In addition, they spread various negative rumors about Yui, including threatening the teacher with her brother’s status and The Authority to get a high grade. They have also spread rumors that she is working as a prost.i.tute and seducing boys.

Because Yui transferred schools and other students didn’t really know her, many believed in the rumor and stayed away from her.

Therefore, Yui Ernest was not able to make many friends. Only friends like Elysia stayed with her.

*****

“Hmph! They only know how to hara.s.s you in groups. They didn’t even reach Rank-F + and are trying to pick a fight with you.”

Elysia said, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with anger. Unlike Yui, she was a young girl who acted on emotion.

“You should just teach them a lesson once.”

Elysia said.

She had been acquainted with Yui ever since she transferred to the school this year. She knows the circ.u.mstances surrounding Yui and knows that all the things that other students accuse her of are just lie made up to put Yui down.

Unlike other students who separated from Yui because of those girls and rumors, she decided to stick with her. Moreover, she was from a Platinum Graded Guild and was not scared of those girls.

With her background, the background of those girls was not worth mentioning at all. That’s why, despite her being with Yui, others didn’t dare hara.s.s her.

Unlike Yui, who abstained from retaliating, Elysia was someone who didn’t hesitate to make use of her background and power to teach them a lesson.

One time, one of the jealous girls tried to bully her because of her good background and tried to make trouble for her. The next day, she along with her parents had to come and apologize to Elysia before transferring schools.

She would have done the same to the girls who were bullying Yui but because Yui told her not to do so, she refrained. Anyway, if they did something overboard, she swore to regret being born.

“Just leave them alone. It is only for a few more days.”

Yui said.

They will be graduating from this school and soon moving on to Explorers School or another school. Yui had fewer opportunities to meet those students because of the difference in talent.

Elysia knows that Yui will join Ace Academy where her brother is. With the presence of her brother, even if those girls join Ace Academy, Elysia knows that they will not be able to hara.s.s Yui anymore.

“If you say so.”

“Forget about them. Let’s play Edolas Super Brawl.”

“You’re on!”
