Extra: Cousins and Besties

Just a special chapter for my dear readers. Enjoy <3

After hanging out at the balcony with Karma, you both went back to the ballroom to party.

But before you got back inside, you were surprised to see a bundle of bright blonde hair.

Karma looked at you with concern but you motioned him to go back. He went towards Nagisa as the girl in front of you started to speak.

"You must be disappointed… that I am here."

More like surprised actually, You wanted to say to your ex-bestfriend but sadly, "Pfft, yeah." was the thing you blurted out.

She looked sadly at the ground. Yep, totally my fault.

"Look, I'm here to say sorry about… what I did." She said.

"You shouldn't be sorry. After all, I owe you a lot." You smiled. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have experienced being a real student." And being an assassin too.

"Yeah, I should've expected that…"

"Yep…"

An awkward silence suddenly whacked the both of you as you remembered the times you talked to this person which, in your case, was a lot of time.

"You know — I hate to admit this but I miss talking with you." You said, looking away in the distance.

"Guess what?" She said while you looked at her, eyebrow raised. "I don't."

You grimaced as she laughed.

"There you go again, unable to tell a joke from a brick in the face. Just like the good ol' days." She said.

"You talk like an old woman, Hyu." You said, showing your sass a little.

"And as stick-in-the-mud as always, evil deity." She smirked.

This conversation was like the ones you had before, seeing that you had used her nickname for and she did the same with your nickname as well. You were dubbed as the Evil Deity or Evil Goddess back in class A, courtesy of this girl. She gave you that nickname because no one could ever beat you in your jocose comebacks.

But that nickname suddenly took a turn when things went downhill for you.

"I didn't really change much even after all these months. I couldn't say the same for you though…" you sadly said.

"Yeah, I know. I've made a lot of mistakes and I hated myself for it. Like how everything you had got into my mind and I let myself turn against you? Like when you won that pop quiz and got permission to skip (subject) for a week? I remembered each and every achievement you had, Y/n. Yet you acted like you didn't care."

You continued to listen to her,

"I hate it when you do that. It makes me think you had so much pride inside you that you couldn't care about your achievements anymore. It makes me feel like I was too small and the adoration I had was just a shield from you and your pride.

"I envied you a lot, Y/n. That's why I sent you to class E and used Gakushu, because I saw you as a potential threat. And I'm so, sorry. Why did I have to put you through that?! You were my friend! I'm so useless. I should've been expelled."

She looked really desperate, looking down in desolation. You felt really bad, yet something was holding you back. Blaming the pride that comes from your Asano bloodline, you sucked it up and marched to her.
