Nero, The Legendary Hunter

Chapter 162: Chapter 161: Hungry Children

Nero and the rest looked at various clubs, from archery to the beast tamers club.

It was no secret that the Beast Tamers Club was unpopular. In fact, when Nero arrived at the front of the tamers' room, it was easy for her to tell the difference.

I wouldn't call it a run down joint as that would affect the school's reputation, however, it was several times smaller than the other classrooms.

It was just hard to imagine that it was a whole club room.

Obviously, even the rarest ones had a room bigger than that.

"Tsk, it's worse than I imagined," Choko said with a click of her tongue.

She thought being in something like that diminished Nero's competence. She was excellent in every way for her, no matter where she went it should be the best. However, seeing that Nero wanted to join the tamers' club, made her feel sorry for herself.

"It's locked, it doesn't look like there's anyone inside," Honda said.

Honestly, she herself also thought that Nero should join another club. With Nero's talent, she could just as easily go for archery as for any other magic. Or even if it's a fight, she's able to participate.

"Seeing that you are less valued, how do you feel about this club?" Jair asked. He had a doubtful look as he looked at Nero with a neutral expression.

Nero thought for a while and said honestly: "There's not much I want to learn other than taming wild beasts. Other than that if this club is the least popular, it's not particularly bad for me."

"How can it not be bad, degozaru?" Jingu couldn't understand Nero's train of thought.

Not only her, almost everyone was left with visible doubt.

"Simply put; if I stay here I will have less competition, I am confident enough to bring more funds to the club with my presence, if that happens, with how unpopular this club is, who will these funds go to?" Nero asked rhetorically with a calculating smile.

She firmly believed that even if the club became popular afterward, it would take some time for new people to arrive. Apart from that during that time, she must have already taken advantage of the chances that the club provides as much as possible.

For example, she learned that each club can participate in a tournament with an 'X' number of participants. If that's the case, they didn't necessarily use the most talented ones, although she wanted it to be different, she believes that some nobles who attend the school would have the means to pull strings and get them to go to tournaments, etc.

Only a fool would believe that it would be fair. Of course, you may still have a chance to participate in some events because you are talented, however, the competition will be fierce and extremely boring. Nero doesn't want to go through these boring and confusing processes.

She could even imagine what would happen if she took someone else's place and the ploys they would use against her. As confident as she was in her own strength, she didn't want to participate in that kind of bullshit.

"Nero is amazing, so calculating, so confident, powerful, and charming!" Yui said in her voice cold, but full of pride for Nero undisguised.

Nero looked at her, holding her chin, she opened her lips slightly: "You are my prey~!"

The heart in Yui's chest beats faster. Her mind went blank with the dominant form and words spoken by Nero as he stared at her mesmerizingly.

Honda, Jingu, and the rest were affected and blushed in response. Some of them turned their faces away as they blushed.

Jana punched Breno weakly in the shoulder. Now it was hard to know if the reason for this was because Breno saw this scene, or because she wanted Breno to do the same with her...

Choko was turning green with jealousy, she wanted those words said to her. MEE!

If it weren't for the fact that she had some contact with Yui and had started to like her, she would have already freaked out with jealousy by now.

Choko could only contain herself when she saw that Yui was practically melting, and Nero had to support her so she wouldn't fall to the ground.

Maybe she was the one who would be like this if she was the one in Yui's place. Or maybe she had an even more overreaction in front of her friends... Although she wasn't as shy as she was before, still, it would be good to maintain some dignity.

Seeing Nero's helpless look as he supported Yui, she finally smiled. Maybe she regretted teasing Yui so much, or maybe she's just regretting that Yui took such high 'damage'. Whatever it was, she assumed Nero knew how devastating her beauty was, but didn't think it would make such a high impact.

Choko's eyes shifted from Yui to Nero. Thinking like this, Nero was really dazzling like the ocean of stars in the galaxy, beautiful like the mountains and rivers, and passionate like the shining sun.

When Yui's mind returned to normal, she stared at Nero blankly, her eyes sparkled and a smile appeared on that cold surface that was as gentle as the warm sun that appears for the first time after the ice and snow melted.

It was late afternoon, and today's classes were over, however, Nero and the rest didn't go home but went for a walk in the city.

"Hello, pretty lady, can I have some money? We are hungry?"

While passing through the city, Nero was stopped by a very thin girl in dirty clothes. Not too far away, in her peripheral vision, she saw two other children even smaller than the girl who had approached her. The two children's eyes glittered with anticipation.

Yui who saw this, felt her heart tighten. She remembered the time she used to do the same, going out begging for money on the street, however, in her case, even if she got something, it would hardly be to buy something to eat, but rather, it would go to her wretched parents who, in addition, to take the money she earned, most of the time still beat her.

Choko who was on Yui's left side saw the way she was acting, then she thought of something and suddenly said: "Here, take this. And this too."

Not only did Choko step forward, marking her presence, but she also handed out a not-too-big-and-not-too-small bag of coins. And, not only that, but she also gave a bigger bag, in this bag, it was possible to notice the fresh fragrance of apparently very appetizing bread.

"Thank you, beautiful big sister!" The girl looked at Choko very gratefully.
