American Exorcism Male God

Chapter 39 I want to be a scumbag like you too!

St. Anna High School, class 12th grade, section A.

Lisa was sitting at Xu Yi's desk, flipping through the books on the table. Besides the school textbooks, the most numerous were about Psychology.

Among them, there were even one or two pop-science books about Dark witchcraft. Lisa's interest was piqued, and she started to read with close attention.

Last night, after the doctor had confirmed there were no problems, she was discharged from the hospital, and this morning she came to school with Xu Yi.

Usually, she would have split up with Xu Yi and returned to her own class.

But she hadn't recovered from last night's events; remembering the old witch's hideous face still gave her chills, so she decided to spend a little more time with Xu Yi.

In short, she was feeling rather clingy towards Xu Yi right now.

They had woken up too late in the morning to have breakfast, so Xu Yi decided to go to the school's convenience store, and she sat in Xu Yi's seat.

Footsteps came from behind. Lisa subconsciously turned her head, thinking it was a classmate of Xu Yi's.

But when she saw who it was, her eyes instantly sharpened.

The fair skin, exquisite curves, that face which, even with her bias, she had to admit was beautiful... It was Maria, who had recently been rumored to be romantically involved with Xu Yi.

Maria recognized Lisa as well; she had been secretly paying attention to Xu Yi and was naturally aware of Lisa's identity.

"What are you doing here?"

Lisa was rarely confrontational at school and seldom got into conflicts, but upon seeing Maria, a nameless fire surged within her, and her words carried a tinge of emotion.

"I made some sandwiches this morning, accidentally made too many... Do you want some?" Maria asked cautiously, glancing at Lisa.

Looking at the sandwich presented before her, Lisa felt as if a sharp sword was pressed against her forehead.

What did this mean? Was it to show off?

If only Lisa and Maria were acquainted, she would have known that Maria wasn't showing off but was sincerely inviting her.

Lisa looked down, silent.

She couldn't utter those cold words, less likely to curse, and when upset, she just bottled it up inside.

Golden flames flashed from the depths of Lisa's pupils, a mysterious aura enveloping the scene.

Emotions are the trigger for many things, and driven by her subdued mood, Lisa's "Saint Huntress Witch" entry was activated, and the Witchcraft power within her stirred.

Maria bore the brunt of it, feeling sweat form on her forehead.

It wasn't that Lisa was targeting Maria on purpose, she was drowning in her downhearted emotions and was oblivious to the abnormal Witchcraft power.

This was her first time channeling this force.

Maria's breathing grew hurried, knowing that leaving the classroom would dispel the oppressive feeling.

But for some reason, she stubbornly refused to leave.

All of a sudden, Maria raised her head, her timid eyes now sharp. A gray fog surged behind her, breaking through Lisa's pressure.

A soul switch, and now Ailan was the one in control of the body.

Ailan was not of the kindly sort, ready to scoff, when the back door creaked and opened, a perplexed voice followed.

"What are you two doing?"

Xu Yi walked into the classroom carrying a bag of stuff.

Lisa quickly looked up, the golden fire in her eyes fading, and the oppressive feeling dissipating swiftly.

The sharpness in Maria's eyes vanished too, returning to her previous demure and frail demeanor.

"Maria said she brought sandwiches for you," Lisa said on Maria's behalf.

"Thanks. The convenience store was having a sale, so I bought a bunch of yogurt and bread. Why don't we eat some together?" Xu Yi suggested, holding up his bag with a warm smile on his face.

Class was still some time away, and few students were in the classroom. Lisa and Maria sat side by side, quietly eating, making it hard to believe that just moments before, the air between them had been thick with animosity.

Xu Yi looked at Lisa, a satisfied smile on his face.

Truly worthy of being a Gifted One. Just last night, she acquired the "Saint Huntress Witch" entry, and progress was less than ten percent, yet she had already managed to use Witchcraft power today.

Although it was a bit of an accident, this saved Xu Yi a lot of effort.

The use of Witchcraft power is like riding a bicycle, once you learn it, it's hard to forget afterwards.

Xu Yi turned his head to look at Maria, somewhat surprised.

In just a few days, Maria had been able to switch souls adeptly, firmly suppressing Ailan.

But what was even more surprising was the Favorability.

[Target "Maria", Favorability: 90.]

[Target "Ailan", Favorability: 78.]

That the system could give out Ailan's favorability, was an unexpected pleasure.

Xu Yi could barely accept Maria's 90 points of favorability, but what was the deal with Ailan's favorability?

Could it be that the other party was a masochist, getting bullied once by him, and could even harvest favorability from it?

Breakfast was finished in an odd atmosphere, and Lisa and Maria each went their own way.

"Scumbag!"

Hardy plopped down beside Xu Yi.

He had actually arrived early, but upon seeing Lisa and Maria, he didn't dare to come over, fearing the fallout from the Asura Field.

He secretly gloated when he saw Lisa and Maria bump into each other, wanting to see Xu Yi embarrassed.

But unexpectedly, upon Xu Yi's return, Lisa and Maria instantly became amicable, almost holding hands like sisters.

What on earth was going on with this world?

Xu Yi gave Hardy a glance and couldn't be bothered with him.

But Hardy actively leaned in, "Boss, let's start the class! You name the tuition, and I won't haggle."

"Didn't you just curse someone out a moment ago?"

Hardy stared into Xu Yi's eyes, his face full of earnestness, "I too want to become a scumbag like you!"

Xu Yi was taken aback, not knowing how to respond. After hesitating for a moment, he gave a suggestion, "With your small frame, you should exercise more!"

This was not unfounded advice; fitness training can make a huge change in a person.

He had once seen an ignored chubby man, who after losing weight and getting fit, became a male god who dominated the dating scene.

Hardy instantly became spirited, Xu Yi's past situation was a bit better than his, but only just, also being skinny and weak.

The reason he could have today's phenomenal turnaround was definitely thanks to fitness training.

In PE class, he had even seen Xu Yi's six-pack abs, and was shocked at the time.

"Boss, tell me, how did you train? In such a short time, how did you make such a big change?" Hardy eagerly asked.

Hardy was too weak; he was a premature baby, and although he was from a well-off family with a specialized nutritionist to look after him, the results were mediocre.

"My method doesn't hold much reference value," Xu Yi shook his head.

"Just tell me! What if it's useful?" Hardy didn't want to give up.

Xu Yi "slightly" embellished the facts before telling Hardy.

After listening, Hardy was dumbfounded, "Are you saying that you got bitten by a mysterious creature, then saw a golden light, and after opening a treasure chest, you became like this?"

"Exactly!" Xu Yi nodded.

Hardy rolled his eyes, "You might as well say you are Spider-Man."

The earliest Spider-Man comics appeared in 1962 and now is a trend among teenagers.

"By the way, the SAT and ACT are about to start. How prepared are you? Which school are you planning to apply for?" Hardy saw Xu Yi didn't want to talk and proactively changed the subject.

The SAT and ACT are considered the American college entrance examinations when combined.

"Preparations are going well, I plan to apply for MIT."

As soon as Xu Yi finished speaking, Hardy's eyes widened, "What? MIT!"
