Chapter 644
Harvey volunteered enthusiastically.
Mira was speechless. This guy really knew how to seize an opportunity.
The hotel was only a couple of miles away, did he really think the professional bodyguards didn’t know the route?
Just as the group turned to leave, the university president and several senior administrators hurried over.
“Didn’t I say we were keeping this low-key? I told you guys not to come out p>
Dominic said.
“You’re on our campus! If we didn’t come to greet you, we’d be cursed for being terrible hosts p>
After exchanging pleasantries, the group headed to the Solflare Grand Hotel. On the way, Mira whispered to Owen, “We really didn’t need to be this flashy p>
“If it keeps the flies away from you, it’s worth it p>
Owen didn’t expect the university to give Mira special treatment; he just wanted to ensure irrelevant people stopped bothering her.
At the very least, blatant harassment from groups like the Student Council wouldn’t happen again.
That evening, the events of the afternoon sparring session went viral on the Aethelgard Social Forum. Everyone now knew Mira was backed by two incredibly powerful titans.
This revelation nearly made Luna Lance and Vivienne Voss grind their teeth into dust.
Luna, in particular, went straight home crying to Lawrence and her father, and the next day she went crying to her grandfather.
Owen was supposed to be her half-brother, yet here he was acting as Mira’s benefactor.
Worse, the scandal of the Lance family was now spreading among the students. Everyone knew her mother was a mistress who had schemed her way to the top. Luna’s prestige as a Lance family heiress plummeted overnight.
Meanwhile, the Student Council officers involved in the previous dorm incident breathed a heavy sigh of relief that they hadn’t pushed Mira any further.
As for the five girls who had started the dorm fight, they were consumed by regret. Why had they been so foolishly obsessed with sucking up to the incoming Vice President?
Over the next few days, they tried every method possible to apologize to Mira. In truth, even if they hadn’t apologized, Mira wouldn’t have bothered retaliating.
The conflict was already settled; there was no point in wasting energy on it. She hadn’t even wanted Owen and the others to show up at school to defend her.
Still, the feeling of being protected and cared for was undeniably comforting.
That night, Seraphina sent Mira a text: You’re trending on the campus forum again.
Mira replied: Trending is good. It keeps things lively.
With orientation over, York and his team had successfully completed their mission. Class President Reece Hamilton organized a farewell part where Mira sang a few military anthems.
rty,
After a bittersweet goodbye, Mira and her classmates officially began their academic courses.
On the second day after orientation, textbooks were distributed, over a dozen in
total, covering public foundational courses and computer science basics.
That afternoon, Mira went to visit Gwen.
Since Gwen had explicitly told Mira
to seek her out if she needed
anything, common courtesy dictated she make an appearance During orientation, she simply hadnt had the time.
By the time classes ended, it was always rush hour, so the visit had been continuously delayed.
Mira had asked Seraphina if she wanted to go together. Seraphina claimed she was too busy, so Mira went alone.
During orientation, the dorm incident had been plastered all over the forum, practically everyone
about it, yet Seraphina ha ent
single message to check on her.
Later, when Owen visited the campus, Seraphina’s text had carried a sour, jealous undertone. It caused Mira’s impression of her cousin to tank drastically.
People like Seraphina were predictable. If Mira were weak, she would have offered sympathy, perhaps even a bit of financial support.
But the moment your reputation and abilities surpassed hers, the psychological imbalance was too much for her to handle.
Mira had not only outshined her, but she had done so effortlessly.
Even untouchable figures like Owen and Dominic, men Seraphina could only dream
of associating with, were Mira’s close friends.
How could Seraphina possibly find balance in her heart after that?
