The Devil WithInn 113 Today Is Not Her Day 3

"No."

Raghnall's face scrunched up in annoyance.

"B-but you promised yesterday that you'll take it!"

"And I'm promising to you now! No way!"

Raghnall grumpily crossed his arms as he glared at her.

"But I already informed the professor! If you don't show up, then he'll think that I was tricking him! He already hates me enough!"

Inna sighed in irritation. She just finished her morning cla.s.ses and just as when she thought she could finally take a break, this annoying 'fly' suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"I'm not that desperate to embarra.s.s myself for food."

As she was saying that, she began nitpicking the porridge on the table.

Raghnall saw her actions and suddenly had an idea.

"Okay, well, if you say so."

He said with a hurt voice as he left dejectedly.

Inna held her ground as she focused on eating her porridge.

She really didn't want to do it because he just told her ealier that the test wouldn't just be between the two of them and the professor.

Turns out, the whole Rose cla.s.s will be watching, along with the other high cla.s.ses who requested to take it as well.

So noooo way is she going to embarra.s.s herself in front of all of them.

She already had enough from the lower cla.s.ses treating her like she's stupid, so she doesn't need those from the higher cla.s.ses to join in as well.

Besides, from the way Raghnall left so quickly, he's probably just guilt tripping me.

I mean, he didn't even try to argue or convince me. It's too obvious.

I bet he's even expecting me to chase after him.

Heck, my friends used to do this tactic back in the uni. And when I don't chase them, they just run back and b.i.t.c.h about me not chasing them.

So, Inna decided to just let him be.

But after a few minutes, Raghnall still didn't come back. And soon, she started feeling a bit guilty for ditching her promise.

But then again, what can she do?

She didn't study for that test and she didn't want to embarra.s.s herself further in front of a cla.s.s of genuises.

Dancing in a public place?

That she can do…

And that's because she's got confidence on her skills.…

But answering a test she had no knowledge of on front of hundreds of judgemental people?

Heck no.

So she still held her ground as she finished up her porridge.

Then suddenly, as she sipped the last spoonful of her bland porridge, she sensed a certain mocking gaze behind her. And when she lifted her head to look back, she saw Raghnall with a Ches.h.i.+re cat's grin plastered on his face. The grin was so bright and wide that it spans from ear to ear making Inna feel quite disturbed.

Meanwhile, knowing that Inna was now looking at him, Raghnall winked at her playfully. Then, he lowered his eyes to gesture for Inna to look at what he was bringing.

And sure enough, when Inna caught sight of it, she felt her heart skip a beat.

Raghnall was actually carrying a premium meal set!

On his golden tray was a large cut of beef steak filled with citrus sauce, along with baked baby potatoes, two loaves of bread, and roasted vegetables on the sides. And he even had the beverage which was the deluxe orange juice. And if her memory served her right, according to Raghnall, that juice would have healing powers for fatigue and an enchantment that can improve memory by a slight margin, though temporarily.

And as he drew closer, Inna couldn't look away from the beautiful sight of the glistening steak. In fact, whenever she breathed, she could already taste the immaculate flavor of its savoury goodness on her mouth.

So when Raghnall sat beside her with that set, the gears in her head started turning, trying to come up with an ingenious plan.

But before she can push through with it, Raghnall started drawing lines in mid air. Then, after chanting a bit, the golden tray was suddenly surrounded by a thin sheet of energy.

And it just dawned in Inna…

Raghnall actually made a friggin barrier before she could act…

Feeling angry that her plan failed, Inna looked at him in fake shock.

"Why do you have to do that?!"

"Do what?"

Raghnall questioned but his face still held a smug knowing smile.

"The barrier! Is it really necessary?"

"Yes. It's in case someone gets some funny ideas about stealing my lunch under my watch."

"Wh-Are you implying that i'm going to steal your lunch? Why would I, of all people, steal lunches?"

Inna huffed as though she was offended.

Seeing her facade, Raghnall just chuckled to himself.

He's not that stupid to not figure out what she was going to do next.

Seriously, anyone in the right mind would put up a barrier after seeing the wicked glint in her eyes.

Inna seemed to have sensed his thoughts as she crossed her arms.

"Okay, fine. I was going to steal it. But whatever."

She shrugged, acting like it didn't even bother her.

"How did you even get this premium set anyways? I bet you stole it! Hah, who's the thief now?"

Raghnall slid the tray in front of Inna before answering nonchalantly.

"Oh, I just pulled some strings."

"Strings? How would you even have those connections in this academy?"

A glint of panic showed in Raghnall's eyes but it was soon covered up with his usual smug expression.

"Well, I just talked to the cook about it. And because of my good looks and kind att.i.tude, they gave it to me willingly."

Inna cringed hard when she heard it.

Never had she ever met a man so full of himself until now.

She was about to question his 'excuse' when she saw his fork hover in mid air.

Then, as though trying to distract her, Raghnall started to slowly eat the meal that he placed in front of her. He started by picking up the baked baby potatoes and slowly placing it in his mouth.

Then, he groaned dramatically.

"Wow, this potato tastes soooooo good!"
