Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 1013 High School Life

Chapter 1013  High School Life

During the lunch break, Alice asked Janet about her plans, but she turned down Alice's offer. However, when Janet learned that Rudy was coming too, she agreed.

Alice informed Rudy that Janet doesn't have plans for the weekends and she would join us, and then told him to ask Eric later today.

The school hours eventually ended and everyone went where they were supposed to be. While leaving the school campus, Rudy was asked by the soccer team if he was interested in joining for a match but Rudy turned them down after he heard their thoughts. They were only inviting him because Eric wasn't there and they needed someone to play in his stead.

Rudy didn't like to replace or be replaced, but he couldn't help but wonder if he had replaced the Rudy of this world with himself or what he had were only the memories of the future of a seemingly different world.

Alice and Rudy went half-way together and then parted ways because Rudy decided to drop by at Eric's house and check up on him. And while he was at it, he thought he would invite him for the waterpark.

Rudy rang the doorbell, but received no response, so he decided to call Eric to confirm if he was at home or out of town.

Eric picked up the call and informed Rudy that he had just left the house a few minutes ago and he was on his way to the next city.

Rudy didn't want to tell Eric that he had come to his home because that would make Eric feel guilty since Eric was the one who had invited Rudy yesterday.

Rudy asked Eric if he was interested in going to the waterpark, but Eric unfortunately had something else to do. He couldn't help but wonder if Rudy and Eric didn't have a close relationship in this world.

After hanging up the call, Rudy carefully glanced around and then teleported in front of his house. He went inside and greeted Jessica, who seemed to have just gotten out of the bath.

'Her schedule is weird, but hey, that's adult life. You get so busy with everything that you rarely make some time for yourself, and that too gets wasted in doing simple things.'

Jessica saw Rudy in the kitchen and said, "What are you making?"

"I am here to get some water," Rudy responded. "Do you want one?"

"Sure."

Rudy filled the gla.s.s for her and went to the living room.

"What happened? You look… uninterested," Jessica asked Rudy with a curious look on his face.

"You mean bored," Rudy sighed. "I don't know what I should do."

Jessica chuckled and said, "Looks like someone has too much time on their hands. How about you help me with my project? Think of it as a practice of the h.e.l.lish university life waiting ahead for you."

"Don't scare a teeanger like that. Aren't you supposed to say something like 'Once you have finished high school, you will be a free bird and be able to do whatever you want to do in the world" Rudy couldn't help but scoff at what Jessica said.

Jessica simply shrugged at Rudy's remark and uttered, "I could say that if you want me to, but that would be a life. Life and its struggle would stay the same. Whether it be school, high school, university, or the job. You will always find the previous thing better than the current one."

Rudy smiled at Jessica and as he thought, 'She is so easy going and cheerful. She is a realist… reminds me of Elise. She was the same. Always thinking logically and rationally instead of being optimistic or pessimist.'

Rudy let out a sigh as he was once again reminded of Elise. Honestly, each and everything could remind him of Elise.

'I need to find some clues about Elise, otherwise I would be thinking about her all the time and won't be able to focus on anything else.' Rudy made his resolution.

"By the way, how is your a.s.signment going?" Jessica suddenly asked Rudy.

"Hmm?" Rudy raised his brow in confusion.

"The one about the apocalypse. You were working on the research, right?"

"Oh, yeah. It's still in work, so I would need to borrow your laptop again."

"Sure, not now though. You can have it at night."

"No problem."

Seeing Jessica getting busy with her project, Rudy decided that he would make lunch.

"What would you like to eat?" he asked Jessica.

"You know what I eat."

"..." Jessica's vague response left Rudy frustrated. He had no idea what Jessica liked and he couldn't ask her either.

'I shouldn't have asked her what she wanted to eat. Dammit.' While Rudy was cursing himself, he thought of using his powers.

'I will try to trigger the telepathy to hear her voice. This can also work as a practice.'

Rudy approached Jessica and sat on the couch beside her. He could smell the sweet fragrance from her as she had just gotten out of the bath.

'I don't feel comfortable sitting so close to any girl, but I have no other choice. This power requires me to be as close as possible to the person I want to hear thoughts of. Now, the main part is how am I going to have her think of what she wants to eat? I can't ask her the same question again.'

Jessica turned to Rudy, and with a confused look on her face, she asked, "What?"

"I wanted to ask you if we have enough ingredients to make your dish."

"We should." Jessica lists out the ingredients that helped Rudy narrow down the possibility. And then, it happened. Jessica ended up saying the dish's name.

Rudy immediately began making lunch while Jessica worked. Within half an hour, the food was ready and Rudy called Jessica to eat the food while it was hot.

Jessica did so by washing her hands and joining Rudy.

"It tastes great as always," Jessica praised him.

Rudy had made the food for more than two people, so he packed the remaining and decided to go to Rebecca.

On his way, he wondered how Rebecca's marriage would take place. Since Rebecca wasn;'t working multiple jobs, she wouldn't have met Joe. And the reason Joe and Rebecca married was to support their kids, but now Rebecca didn't need financial support from anyone thanks to Jessica.

"I wonder how Lucy is doing…"
