Chapter 38 - Dianca Fritz

After the tournament registration photo was taken, I reunited with my squad in the hallway. Myrrh, Fei, and Neil stood together, their attention fixed on the far end of the corridor. In fact, it wasn't just them—every student in line seemed captivated, their gazes locked with growing anticipation. Whispers rippled through the crowd like a low current, charged with excitement.

"Is that Dianca Fritz?" Neil muttered, his tone a mix of curiosity and awe.

"Yes," Myrrh replied with a faint smile, her eyes glinting knowingly.

At the corridor's far edge, she appeared—a tall, graceful figure who seemed to command the air itself. Dianca Fritz, a blue-haired beauty, stepped forward with a poise that bordered on ethereal. Her long, wavy hair shimmered as it caught the light, bouncing lightly with every elegant stride. Her emerald eyes, luminous and star-like, held a magnetic quality that drew every gaze. She wore the standard gray uniform with a pleated skirt, yet on her, it seemed tailor-made for royalty, accentuating her presence in a way no one else could match.

"Whoa! Dianca! It's Dianca Fritz!" one of the fanboys squealed, barely able to contain himself.

"Kyaaa! Dianca! Please notice me!" came the shrill cries of the fangirls, their voices teetering on the edge of hysteria.

"I'll be your dog, Dianca! Just sell us your bathwater!" a group of unashamed degenerates howled from the back, prompting groans of embarrassment from bystanders.

Dianca responded with practiced grace, her smile warm and composed as she waved to the adoring crowd. Then her emerald gaze caught sight of us. Something in her expression changed—her smile widened, bright and genuine, as if she'd found something, or someone, she'd truly been searching for.

With a sudden burst of energy, she hop-skipped down the hallway, closing the distance between us in a matter of moments. Her excitement was unmistakable as she turned her focus to Myrrh.

"W-wait, aren't you the prodigy Mary Sue Myrrh Alicent?" Dianca asked, her voice trembling slightly, betraying her excitement.

"Huh?" Myrrh blinked, looking first at me, then at Neil and Fei, before her gaze finally returned to Dianca. A faint blush crept onto her cheeks, but she quickly straightened her posture, puffed out her chest, and gave a confident smile. "That, I am," she declared, her voice steady and proud.

"Cool! I've always wanted to meet the prodigy WAIFU!" Dianca exclaimed, her emerald eyes sparkling as she clasped Myrrh's hands in hers. Her voice carried an unmistakable note of admiration. "I've heard so many stories about you excelling in every practical exam! And you're even more beautiful than the rumors say!"

Myrrh returned the gesture with a soft, graceful smile, gently shaking Dianca's hands. "And I'm equally thrilled to meet the famous girl streamer, Dianca Fritz, in person! I've been your fan ever since your debut!"

"Oh, really?" Dianca gasped, her cheeks flushing faintly with excitement. "That's amazing because I'm your fan, too! Your mother, Mirana Alicent, is my ultimate inspiration. She's the reason I dreamed of becoming a WAIFU in the first place!"

"And you're the one who introduced me to MOBA and FPS games," Myrrh added, her voice light with enthusiasm.

"We should totally do a gaming livestream together sometime!" Dianca beamed, her energy as radiant as her smile. "Fans would go wild seeing a pretty girl like you absolutely slay in online games!"

"I'd love that!" Myrrh replied with a soft laugh, her eyes shining with genuine delight. "It would be so much fun!"

I stood there, stunned, unable to wrap my head around what I was witnessing. Dianca Fritz—the Dianca Fritz—was standing here, practically glowing with excitement over meeting Myrrh Alicent. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Yet here they were, caught in a loop of mutual admiration, their words flowing like old friends reunited, even though this was their first encounter.
